Chapter 98: Chapter 88 Both Good-looking and Comfortable_2
“`
On the internet, making tens of thousands a month only qualifies you as low-inco.
Back in ’14, there were still plenty of students whose monthly living expenses were in the triple digits.
This place just doesn’t have that many high-end consurs.
Cheng Zhu was just bringing his three roommates here for a al, to get familiar with the owner and support the shop for a bit of good karma.
Once the contract is up, you guys better pack up and leave quickly, don’t hold things up.
...
At the sa ti, he wanted these three roommates to help him out with so work after the al today.
“Cheng, have you already ordered the claw machines and plush toys?” Dong Dong had heard Cheng Zhu making calls to manufacturers in the dorm these past few days.
“Yeah,” Cheng Zhu said.
He was an entrepreneur in Wu City in his past life, and Wu City is known for its small commodities market with quite a few plush toy manufacturers.
So of them were people he knew in his past life.
Although he might not have close contacts with them this ti around, remote collaboration was still possible.
He had chosen a store called Shangrong Workshop, whose owner later beca the president of the Wu City Toy Association.
The quality of their plush toys was pretty good.
Dong Dong was puzzled: “Cheng, why order the dolls and machines so quickly? Don’t you have to spiff up the place after they move out?”
“What’s there to spiff up? Need to keep costs down,” Cheng Zhu looked at him. “The claw machines are flashy enough as it is. Line them up inside, and it won’t look bad visually.”
He casually pointed around the room and continued, “These areas, we’ll knock ’em down, repaint the walls, and for decorative parts, just install so LED lights, maybe add so neon signs for embellishnts with patterns. That’ll be enough.”
Like the neon signs with text or patterns that would still be in vogue in the years to co.
Seen in ’14, it was considered pretty trendy.
“Why does it sound so slapdash to ?” Dong Dong looked around. “Feels like you’re not really putting much effort into the shop.”
“That’s because you’re only on this floor, while I’m already at the top. The ideas you rack your brains for might not be as good as what I can whip up,” Cheng Zhu spread his hands.
“Cheng, when it cos to talking big, I truly admire you.” Dong Dong thought his greatest skill was that airy tone and his indifferent expression, impossible to imitate.
At that mont, Cheng Zhu was on his phone, scrolling through Persistent Visit’s official Weibo account with his personal Weibo account.
Dong Dong had a habit of peeking at others’ phones, and as soon as he saw Cheng Zhu scrolling through this kind of Weibo, he blurted out: “Holy shit!”
This startled Liu Feng and Zheng Qingfeng, who didn’t understand why Mr. Dong was making such a fuss.
Was Cheng bothering him again?
“Soone needs to keep an eye on Cheng! He dares to look at those things in public!” Dong Dong pointed at Cheng Zhu’s phone, shocked at his audacity.
“Damn, I wonder if there were privacy screen protectors for phones back in ’14?” Cheng Zhu cursed inwardly.
In fact, Cheng Zhu scrolling through the shop’s official Weibo with his personal account was purely to lead the conversation with his burner accounts.
What you think the comrcial warfare is: various business promotions on Weibo, burning money on advertising, plotting behind the scenes, and competing online with rivals.
The reality of comrcial warfare: the boss himself creating burner accounts to comnt—wow, your clothes are so sexy! They’re better than others, really want to buy!
Yep, he even had a female persona for comnting in a female voice.
Of course, if it ca to dealing with haters, he’d go toe-to-toe with them! Rip them a new one!
At this mont, as the QQ tycoon, Cheng Zhu sneered inwardly at Dong Dong: “Just looking gets you this agitated, what if you knew I owned this place? You’d probably make a scene. Ignorant fool!”
Cheng Zhu looked at his three roommates, suddenly curious, and asked, “Have you guys heard of this place?”
Dong Dong and Liu Feng shook their heads in unison.
Only Zheng Qingfeng glanced at the words “Persistent Visit” and nodded slightly, indicating he knew about this trending shop and had seen its jokes online.
“Damn, Zheng, you always lay low, but you’re into this stuff too!” Dong Dong scolded loudly, then opened his own Weibo and fiercely followed Persistent Visit’s official account.
He was convinced that during his four years of college, he’d definitely have the chance to stop by a few tis.
After the al, the four left the sushi restaurant.
As they stood up, they saw two people walking in.
Dong Dong and the others looked at the girl and were imdiately excited.
“Zhang Qiqi, the senior!”
Cheng Zhu simply pretended not to notice.
The newcors were the internet-famous school flower Zhang Qiqi, and Xu Shao, whom she had hooked.
Although not many regular students frequented this sushi place, these two were regulars and already on familiar terms with the owner.
They beca friends with the owner as so ingredients required advanced booking.
Xu Shao saw the owner post on his circle of friends that it was the last day of business and specially invited Zhang Qiqi to have one last al together.
Thinking back, his first invitation to Zhang Qiqi for a al was at this restaurant.
“It’s amazing how ti flies. We went from strangers to almost lovers, but this place is closing down,” Xu Shao mused lancholically.
At that mont, he saw Cheng Zhu and his smile faded.
anwhile, Zhang Qiqi’s eyes brightened, and her smile grew more radiant.
