(Fourth update, seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)
Weekend, Yida Plaza.
Li Sitong and Yu Weiwei shared a hug with their best friend, Wu Mengmeng.
Li Sitong in particular looked at her two best friends with great affection.
The few of them used to date frequently, but they hadn't met up in a long time.
It couldn't be helped; who told Li Sitong to have Ye Chen now?
For the past few days, Li Sitong had been busy at the shop.
And once Ye Chen returned, she was glued to him every single day.
"Hey, how is Eldest Miss Li so free today? Not accompanying your Ye Chen?"
Wu Mengmeng teased Li Sitong.
"What's a Boyfriend? Accompanying my best friends is more important."
Li Sitong blinked her big eyes, putting on an expression that suggested her best friends were the most important.
"Tsk, stop lying. Don't I know what you're like? Choosing romance over friends—do you think we're stupid? Who would believe your nonsense," Wu Mengmeng said, rolling her eyes at Li Sitong.
"So, come clean."
Wu Mengmeng glanced at Li Sitong.
Wu Mengmeng didn't believe a single word Li Sitong said.
"Alright, my Ye Chen went to Jiang University with my dad to check on the deployment of the Shared Bikes."
"So, you're rarely free and finally have time to accompany us, right?"
Li Sitong originally wanted to quibble, but Wu Mengmeng knew her too well.
She had voiced her thoughts directly.
"Hmph, I knew it. If Ye Chen were free, how could you have remembered us best friends?"
Of course, they were all joking and weren't actually angry.
After all, now that their best friend had a Boyfriend, they mostly just wanted to offer their blessings.
"Weiwei, why aren't you saying anything today?"
Usually, when the three of them met up, Yu Weiwei was the most talkative.
But today, Yu Weiwei hadn't said a word, remaining silent throughout.
Yu Weiwei sighed: "It can't be helped. You don't know, I've been eating her dog food every day until I'm stuffed. I don't want to talk anymore."
At this moment, she really envied Wu Mengmeng.
After all, Wu Mengmeng had less contact with them.
Unlike Yu Weiwei, who had to listen to Li Sitong sprinkling dog food on her every day.
"Haha, Si Tong, look how you've bullied the poor girl. What have you done to Weiwei lately?" Wu Mengmeng teased.
"It's nothing. I just occasionally chat with her about things between me and my Boyfriend, telling her our little love stories," Li Sitong said with a mischievous smile.
"Student Li Sitong, what kind of psychological satisfaction do you get from feeding me dog food every day?" Yu Weiwei sighed.
Li Sitong said with a beaming smile: "Nothing at all. Isn't it only right to share my happiness with my best friend?"
Yu Weiwei gnashed her teeth in anger: "Don't you know it's very easy to get beaten up for acting like this?"
Seeing Yu Weiwei's huffy appearance, Wu Mengmeng felt a bit of sympathy.
Heaven knows what state Yu Weiwei had been driven to by Li Sitong's dog food during this period.
This was too much abuse for a single dog.
As it turned out, Li Sitong chatted with Ye Chen every day, and after chatting, she wanted to share her happiness with someone.
And the best person to share it with was, of course, Yu Weiwei.
So just imagine how painful it was for Yu Weiwei to be fed dog food every day.
In short, when chatting with Li Sitong, three sentences wouldn't go by without mentioning Ye Chen. Yu Weiwei was about to go crazy.
Today, Yu Weiwei originally hadn't wanted to come.
She was truly unwilling to be fed dog food by Li Sitong again.
However, she hadn't expected that Wu Mengmeng would also be joining the gathering.
Normally, it was quite rare for Wu Mengmeng to join their get-togethers.
So Yu Weiwei had no choice but to come over.
Li Sitong chuckled and said: "Alright, I'll stop sprinkling dog food on you guys. Oh right, I want to buy something. Help me look at the styles and give me some advice."
As she spoke, Li Sitong grabbed Yu Weiwei's hand and began to act spoiled.
Then, the three best friends walked into the Yida Plaza shopping mall.
"Si Tong, what exactly do you plan to buy?" Yu Weiwei asked.
Speaking of that item, Li Sitong's pretty face flushed slightly.
"Once we're there, you'll know."
Ten minutes later, Li Sitong pulled Yu Weiwei and Wu Mengmeng into an underwear shop. Yu Mengmeng was stunned.
"So this is the thing you wanted us to consult on?"
They saw that Li Sitong had brought Yu Weiwei and Wu Mengmeng to the sexy lingerie counter.
Li Sitong's face was red: "Mm, I'm buying this."
Although she felt incredibly shy, her best friends were much better than that LSP Ye Chen.
"Fine, Si Tong, I'm completely convinced. Your dog food is everywhere."
Did she even need to say who Li Sitong was buying sexy lingerie for?
Without even thinking, it was obviously for Ye Chen to see.
This time, Li Sitong didn't talk about their sweet nothings, but she had invisibly sprinkled a wave of super dog food.
Yu Weiwei felt like life wasn't worth living.
What sin did I commit to have such a best friend... At Jiang University, Ye Chen and Li Li walked onto the campus.
Li Li's efficiency was very high; in just one week, the first batch of five hundred Shared Bikes had been manufactured.
And the deployment location, following Ye Chen's suggestion, was chosen to be Jiang University.
These five hundred bicycles were actually just to test the waters.
To see how the students would accept the Shared Bikes.
After all, University students were the most likely to accept new things.
If even they couldn't accept it, then the general public certainly wouldn't.
As it happened, Li Li had business dealings with Jiang University and was very familiar with a Vice Principal.
With the Vice Principal acting as a bridge, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement.
After the Shared Bikes were deployed on campus, they were deeply welcomed by the students.
Many students now chose Shared Bikes for their travel.
The Jiang University campus was very large; riding a Shared Bike saved the students a lot of time.
Moreover, the rental fee for the Shared Bikes was very cheap, and there were even coupons.
A single ride within half an hour only cost one yuan, which was cheaper than the bus.
Besides that, choosing a monthly pass was even cheaper.
Once the Shared Bikes were deployed on campus, they immediately triggered a wave of Shared Bike popularity.
Because of this, the campus gave the project a green light all the way and even took the initiative to help the company arrange deployment points for the Shared Bikes.
The five hundred Shared Bikes were all placed in an open space in front of the student dormitories.
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Li, your connections are quite broad. Being able to cooperate with Jiang University will definitely make our project promotion much faster."
And what Ye Chen admired even more was that in such a short time, Li Li had actually had someone develop a Shared Bike APP.
This speed even made Ye Chen very surprised.
According to Ye Chen's estimation, the official deployment of the Shared Bikes would take at least a month or two.
Unexpectedly, Li Li specifically contacted a technology company, and by working overtime, they developed it in less than a week.
Seeing the rows of Shared Bikes, even Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.
This was too fast!
However, after looking into it, Ye Chen understood that this Shared Bike APP was very simple and not yet a mature product; it could only be used within the range of Jiang University.
One could say it was a trial product. Currently, the APP only had a scan-to-unlock function. Specifics like deposits still required manual verification by the campus staff.
Li Li's side was anxious to deploy the Shared Bikes at Jiang University precisely because they wanted to see if the Shared Bikes would be popular.
If the results were good, then he could confidently increase production!
