“Yes, I am. Are we friends?” Chu Ning continued.

“Of course.” Yan Shen nodded.

“Then why didn’t you tell me that you had such a big issue with your health?” Chu Ning took another sip of her drink and spoke casually with a calm expression.

As she said this, Yan Shen suddenly froze.

“I’m still young, can you not curse me?” he smiled bitterly. “To be honest, I recovered quickly from the injuries Bai Hong inflicted on me the last time. How did you tell that there’s a major problem with my health?”

“You know what? You’re actually not good at lying at all.” Chu Ning sighed and said helplessly.

“I’m really fine.” Yan Shen didn’t intend to admit it.

“You’re not willing to tell me?” Chu Ning wasn’t sure if there was anything wrong with Yan Shen’s health, but Yan Shen’s bodily movements had already betrayed him.

He had to be hiding something and didn’t want her to know the truth.

“The barbeque is delicious, isn’t it?” Yan Shen laughed and said something that was completely unrelated to the previous content.

“Some things can’t be stopped, but one can still decide how to live one’s life going forward. As long as one is happy, it’s fine. The result is already decided. I hope there won’t be any regrets in the process. That’s what I think.” Yan Shen looked gently at Chu Ning’s beautiful face and said softly.

“But we still have a lot of time, don’t we? It can still be changed,” Chu Ning said, looking at Yan Shen.

Chu Ning had never believed that things were set in stone by fate.

In her opinion, nothing was constant.

She herself was the best example. If she had followed the arrangement of fate, she would not have appeared in this world. If she had believed in fate, she would not have broken off relations with the Ye family and stood on the opposite side of them in the Ye family’s private hospital. If she had believed in fate, she would have died many times over.

Although luck played a part, Chu Ning would never bow down to fate.

Even if it had already happened, she still had the courage to fight to the end.

“I hope so,” Yan Shen replied gently.

Although he was not optimistic about his health condition, he did not want to reveal his true thoughts in front of his special friend, Chu Ning.

“Alright, since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask anymore. But if there’s anything I can help with, you must tell me.” Chu Ning knew that she would never get the truth out of Yan Shen.

“Of course.” Yan Shen raised his glass and drank his beverage in one go.

“I’m going to the toilet.” With that, he stood up and left.

Chu Ning fell into deep thought as she watched Yan Shen’s figure disappear into the distance.

The next morning, although Chu Ning was at school, the Cloud Shopping app had quietly shown its charm to the people in M City.

Runfa Shopping Mall had also changed all the billboards that day, just to create momentum for Cloud Shopping.

Chu Ning had already hired a dedicated courier in advance, even though she did not know how many people had placed orders.

At noon, Chu Ning took out her phone and looked at the real-time sales data. From 8 am to 12 am, four hours had passed, but only a dozen people had placed orders.

The total transaction amount was only about 600 yuan…

Even though it was a working day and there weren’t many people in the morning, the transaction volume was still too small, almost negligible.

Chu Ning guessed that the people who placed the orders were just curious and did not really want to buy anything.

Chu Ning frowned at the thought.

She had recruited nearly two hundred couriers and offered them a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan. The average income of M City was less than 4,000 yuan. This meant that Chu Ning had to prepare at least 1.6 million yuan for the monthly salary of these couriers.

Since the nature of this job was determined by the amount of work they did, there would be some hard-working couriers who could earn more than 8,000 yuan a month.

“It seems that I have to take some measures,” Chu Ning muttered to herself as she looked at the dismal numbers on her phone.

She immediately gave Runfa Shopping Mall’s Manager Liu a call.

“Manager Liu, please print an additional notice now. Anyone who places an order on the Cloud Shopping platform of Runfa Shopping Mall for door-to-door delivery can receive 20 eggs or 500 grams of fresh pork for free. Prepare it in the afternoon and we should be able to catch the peak period in the evening,” Chu Ning said as soon as the call was connected.
