Chapter 2317: So… I Am the Clown

“Your Highness, This is our latest version of the slimming fruit juice. After eliminating tens of fruit juices, we’re left with these three flavors.” Ashley placed three glasses of fruit juice in front of Irina in her office.

The three fruit juices were orange, green, and white respectively and the color looked pretty good.

“Let me try them.” Irina picked up the white glass first. She sniffed a little and said, “Coconut juice?”

“Yes, it’s coconut juice. It was made in the most traditional way by the locals. The coconut flesh was first ground and then combined with coconut milk,” Ashley introduced.

Irina took a sip of the coconut juice and her eyes lit up.

It was a very refreshing taste with a light hint of coconut fragrance. It did not have a rich sweetness and the texture was very fine. It was very moisturizing and after swallowing the drink, there was a faint fragrance lingering in her mouth.

The coarse texture of slimming teas which made them hard to swallow was completely removed. This was more like a drink than a slimming tea.

“Not bad. It’s pretty good, be it fragrance or texture.” Irina took two more sips before putting the coconut juice down.

Ashley smiled. This was the best acknowledgment to the work they’ve put in over this period.

Following that, Irina tasted the other two cups of fruit juice. One of them was orange juice, while the other was apple juice. One was sweet and sour, while the other was fragrant. They all had their unique points.

The orange juice even had pulp and that made its texture even better.

“These three fruit juices really surprised me. They tasted better than most freshly squeezed fruit juice. Even without their slimming properties, they would probably still be very popular.” Irina put the last glass of fruit juice down and told Ashley, “But we are selling slimming tea to begin with and this version is now slimming fruit juice. What are the slimming effects?”

“We’ve done a comparison test a few days ago. The fat reducing and slimming effects have reduced by half compared to the slimming tea.” Ashley looked down in self-reproach.

“Very good. To improve the taste and texture to this extent while maintaining half of the slimming effects is a job very well done.” Irina nodded with satisfaction.

Ashley was shocked by Irina’s response. She said worriedly, “But your highness, with the slimming effects, decreased by half, would people not buy our product anymore?”

“No. It’s just like what Mag said. People buy our slimming tea for its slimming effects but whether or not they could continue drinking it, and how often they drink it for them to come back to make their purchase, would be determined by the consumer’s experience while drinking it.” Irina shook her head.

She said with a smile, “This is a very delicious slimming fruit juice. Although the effects are reduced by half, it was not unacceptable for consumers to want to have another glass. They would even be willing to drink it daily. This is how you make the business sustainable.”

Ashley thought for a while and understood what Irina meant.

“Find a good and steady supply of fruits based on this standard. As long as we can produce them in large batches, we would be able to start selling them,” Irina said.

“Alright.” Ashley nodded and left quickly with a smile she could not hide.

“Why do I feel like I’ve become more and more like a businesswoman? Was I influenced by that fellow?” Irina thought deeply.

After settling some matters at the factory and doing her rounds, Irina took a look at the time. She left the factory and walked towards Mamy Restaurant.

***

Mamy Restaurant.

Everyone was preparing to have lunch. The large table was filled with dishes and there was only one empty seat.

“Boss, Her Highness said that she had many things going on recently so she would not be coming to the restaurant for lunch anymore,” Firis told Mag suddenly when she realized Irina was missing.

“I see.” Mag was rather shocked.

Everyone was shocked to hear the news too. Irina would always come for lunch and dinner. With her status, they did not dare to say much about it but after knowing her, they actually enjoyed having her around.

After all, there weren’t many powerhouses out there like her who were both powerful and easy to talk to.

Her man was the world’s most powerful man and she was also the best 10th-tier powerhouse.

“Let’s not wait for her. Let’s eat,” Mag said as he picked up his chopsticks.

Just then, the bell rang.

“Hm? It’s not time for business yet. Could it be a customer who doesn’t know the rules?” Yabemiya said as she turned around.

“I’ll take a look.” Gina walked over to the door.

The restaurant door was opened, and standing outside… was a very beautiful elf.

She was wearing a blue dress and was very tall and slender. She had a white cape on and was full of grace.

Gina could not help but be stunned by her looks.

The others in the restaurant turned around and saw the elf at the door and were all surprised.

They were really stunned by her beauty.

“What a beautiful Big Sister. But we haven’t seemed to have met her before, right?” Anna said to Shirley softly.

“We haven’t met her before. I don’t think she’s an elf from the Wind Forest.” Shirley nodded. She had not seen her among the Night Elves before either.

Outside the restaurant, the customers queuing up were all looking at that beautiful elf curiously as well. They did not know why she would open the restaurant’s door now.

“Hi, the restaurant has not begun operations. Please queue up and wait for a while,” Gina said with a smile.

“May I ask if there’s a man by the name of Mag here?” That elf spoke and looked into the restaurant.

Clatter.

Mag’s chopsticks fell onto the table. His eyes widened and his mouth fell open as he stood up slowly. His lips trembled as he said, “It’s… it’s you!”

Irina bit her lower lip gently and took a step forward. She looked at Mag and nodded as she said, “Yes, I’m back.”

The restaurant fell silent. Everyone was stunned and confused.

?

What’s going on?

Could it be?!

Everyone looked at Mag, then at Irina. After that, they looked at Amy.

It is!

Elf! Beauty! Reunion!

Could this be the mysterious Lady boss of Mamy Restaurant?

All of a sudden, everyone had a mixture of emotions. Some were just watching the drama while some felt their hearts breaking.

However, at the next moment, Irina looked at the table filled with ladies and a few children. She paused in her tracks. She was stunned, upset, and full of grudges.

“I can’t believe that in just three years, you already have so many wives and children.” Irina staggered a few steps backward. She placed her hands over her heart and said with a trembling voice, “So… I am the clown.”
