Chapter 306: Chapter 242 Past and Present Life_2 Chapter 306: Chapter 242 Past and Present Life_2 So people were genuinely there to offer their congratulations, but others just wanted to check out the popular shop bustling with pretty girls to boost their social dia.
Although it was noon, the claw machine store still had booming business.
However, it seed slightly less than before.
Pei Yan and Xu Shao understood this.
“These past few days have been continuously rainy, and suddenly it’s gotten colder, which is quite normal,” Pei Yan said.
Xu Shao nodded, feeling the sa way.
“But winter is a season suitable for dating, so even if it gets colder, the shop’s business won’t be bad,” Xu Shao said with a smile, confident about this point.
He had seen many Korean dramas, where the winter season often set the stage for the stories.
First snow and coats almost always go together.
Why not co to the shop and grab so fluffy toys? Wouldn’t that set the perfect romantic winter atmosphere?
As the two chatted while eating, Pei Yan picked up his phone and glanced at his student council group chat.
Inside the chat, soone ntioned they had bumped into Zhang Qiqi at the library entrance, where she was taking photos for a very pretty high school girl.
Pei Yan looked at Xu Shao and said, “Look at this group chat, there’s a Public Relations mber who bumped into Zhang Qiqi at the library, and it seems she brought this young girl today?”
“Right, why didn’t she co to the ribbon-cutting ceremony today?” Pei Yan mused, suddenly rembering this detail.
“I saw her na on the flower baskets; she sent two, and they both looked quite expensive,” he said with a laugh, deliberately bringing up the topic.
Pei Yan thought it was a good sign that a girl would spend a lot on carefully selected flower baskets for the opening of a man’s shop!
Upon hearing this, Xu Shao paused for a mont before saying, “That girl is her cousin. She went to pick her up from the station this morning, so it wasn’t convenient for her to co.”
“I see,” Pei Yan nodded, not dwelling on it any further.
Xu Shao naturally didn’t clarify that he had paid for both baskets.
He thought Qiqi might forget to prepare the baskets if she attended the ceremony and would feel embarrassed seeing that everyone else had brought them.
Moreover, he was quite disappointed. Many of his friends had co today, and he had wanted to introduce Qiqi to them.
Just then, Xu Shao picked up his phone and began texting the girl he liked.
“Qiqi, are you at the library?”
After sending the ssage, Zhang Qiqi instantly frowned tightly, her mood souring.
Soone she didn’t like had suddenly got hold of her schedule and told her as much—if not outright, then implicitly—and that certainly tinged her mood with irritation.
“How did he know I was just at the library?” the well-known campus beauty thought, annoyed.
She picked up her phone and started typing, “Yes, my cousin wanted to tour the campus. I need to accompany her this afternoon and later, I have a eting with the owner of Ancient Mountain Culture to discuss so matters.”
Her reply was essentially a roundabout way of saying: I’m busy! Don’t bother ; my afternoon belongs to Cheng Zhu!
Xu Shao, on the receiving end, read her ssage as, “She’s detailing her entire schedule for today to ! Sharing all her plans!”
Sweet! He was already feeling sweetened!
Anyway, he and Pei Yan had just taken over the claw machine store and had lots of bits and pieces to attend to that afternoon; he doubted he’d have ti to accompany Qiqi.
Little did he know that just a few minutes later, soone else was sending almost the sa ssage to Zhang Qiqi.
Cheng Zhu: “You were just at the library?”
“Right!” Zhang Qiqi replied instantly.
Hey, he knows where I am, which ans he must be keeping an eye on !
People in the world all carry so degree of hypocrisy.
It’s just that so are extrely hypocritical, while others not so much.
“Will you still be at the school this afternoon? If so, I can co pick you both up?” Cheng Zhu asked.
Since Zhang Qiqi was helping connect the dots, it would obviously be better for her to stick with him from the start.
“Sure!” the other side quickly agreed.
The mood spoiled by Xu Shao was instantly uplifted at that mont.
After putting down her phone, Zhang Qiqi said to ng Yiyi, “Cheng Zhu is driving to pick us up this afternoon.”
“Okay.”
He has a car as a freshman?
Indeed, my cousin wouldn’t like soone poor.
But that makes sense, his claw machine store is doing well, which must be quite lucrative, right?
ng Yiyi just wanted to see what Cheng Zhu looked like and what unique charisma he possessed.
…
…
By around 2:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Zhu left his studio.
Before leaving, he grabbed two cups of roasted Black Sugar bubble milk tea.
Each product was still in the flavor adjustnt phase, perfect for the cousins to give feedback.
Hang City was getting colder by the day, and a cup of hot roasted Black Sugar bubble milk tea would warm anyone up with just a sip.
Cheng Zhu had arranged to et with Zhu Youwei from Ancient Mountain Culture at a spot called Tea House,
a fairly upscale site, with a not-so-modest spending level, suitable for sitting down and discussing matters.
Inside the private rooms, girls in cheongsams would serve tea, not only skilled but definitely with great figures.
If you wanted to listen to music, they could also arrange for girls to play traditional instrunts like guzheng or pipa.
