Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 169

The next day, after Zachary Cheng woke up in the morning, he replied to the WeChat message Zhang Qiqi sent late last night.

Didn't they both tell each other that they had gone to take a shower last night? Zhang Qiqi wanted to rely on the subsequent reactions after the chat was temporarily interrupted to infer whether the relationship between the two had progressed further through this date.

If Zachary Cheng came to chat with her after washing up, that would undoubtedly be a good sign.

As a result, she waited and waited, but couldn't wait.

Later, even when she took the initiative to send "I'm done washing" to her, the message was like nothing.

This kind of experience happened to Zhang Qiqi from time to time, but she was always the one who said she went to take a shower and then never responded to messages.

But who would have thought that today the positions have been swapped!
The polarity is reversed!

The message that Zachary Cheng barely found time to reply to after waking up in the morning also seemed familiar to Zhang Qiqi.

"I took a hot bath yesterday, and then I felt sleepy as soon as I touched the pillow and fell asleep." Zachary Cheng started to talk nonsense.

If we really have to calculate his sleep time this way, he slept for a full eleven hours!

Watching a movie is like going to farm, are you so tired?

"It's okay, I also slept last night." Zhang Qiqi obviously didn't go to bed until twelve o'clock, but she still replied like this.

The wicked still need to be tortured by the wicked, and the queen of the sea still needs to be tortured by the king of the sea.

"Torture".

After a simple reply and some perfunctory efforts to stabilize the relationship, Zachary Cheng directly said that he was going to get busy.

In fact, he didn't have anything particularly important to do this morning. He just wanted to go to the studio where he insisted on visiting and enjoy the cheers of the employees.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who told us that we could briefly reach the top spot in the same category last night?"

"Last night, the work group was already having a party."

As soon as Zachary Cheng was in a good mood, he immediately sent out an 888 lucky red envelope, and the atmosphere in the group suddenly became more lively.

He never plays tricks, and the employees all know that when the store secures its first place, the boss will definitely give everyone red envelopes as before.

At noon, in a high-end villa complex in Hangzhou, Serena Shen was sitting in her room reading a romance novel when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ning Ning, it's time to eat." The stepmother's voice came from outside the house.

"Okay, Auntie." Serena Shen replied, then slowly closed the novel in her hand.

She personally prefers reading physical books.

What I read now is still a sadistic novel.

This cool girl chooses romance novels, and she always adheres to the principle of not reading them if they are not abusive. She doesn’t know why, but she just likes reading erotic novels to feel the excitement of love and all kinds of love-hate entanglements in them.

Reason told her that all of this was unrealistic and the content was false.

But she is usually a very sensible person. When she relaxes occasionally, she is used to reading books without thinking.

In the past few days, when she read romance and sadistic novels, she didn't feel particularly good about them.

It was strange that although she was reading a novel that could only be considered a medium-grade sadistic novel, her emotional ups and downs were comparable to those of a violently sadistic novel.

This sober-minded girl knew very well that the problem was not with the books.

The book is still the same book.

The problem is with yourself.

Ever since Lin Lu talked with her that night, she would often be distracted and restless.

Lin Lu was too straightforward and honest. Since she fell in love with someone, she would naturally choose to tell her good friends as soon as possible.

These days, during the National Day holiday, Serena Shen usually spends his free time reading.

When reading romance novels, you will definitely see some sweet content.

After all, even if it is a sadistic article, it is impossible to torture it from beginning to end.

Readers who love to read sadistic stories are often very good at finding sweets among the glass shards.

Every time she saw this sweet plot, she would always recall that blurry night, the night when he took her to blow the night breeze.

Because she is different from Lin Lu.

There was actually only a little bit of sweetness between her and Zachary Cheng.

Only the sweetness of that night.

Serena Shen, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at the cover of the novel.

Interestingly, the cover of this novel depicts a man and two women.

Wearing pajamas and pajamas, she got up from her chair and started walking downstairs for lunch.

A nice pair of long pajamas, when worn on her body, somehow felt like cropped pants.



As far as legs are concerned, Serena Shen, the leg expert, really has no rivals in the Polytechnic University.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the stepmother, who was only two years older than Michael Shen, had already sat down by herself and was pouring corn juice into a cup.

"Ningning, do you want something to drink?" she asked.

"No, I'll just drink water." Serena Shen shook her head.

The stepmother of Serena Shen and Michael Shen is 29 years old this year and will not celebrate her 30th birthday in two months.

She is quite beautiful, but she is definitely not beautiful. She is the kind of beauty that is attractive and gives people a very comfortable feeling. She is the kind of beauty without any aggression.

This is one of the reasons why she can become the stepmother of the Shen family. Father Shen is quite relieved about her.

A man of his age, with a successful career, doesn't want a troublesome woman to come to the family, who will make the house restless every day.

You know, having a son like Michael Shen is enough to worry about.

Father Shen told the brother and sister directly that he would not have any more children.

He must have said this to his second wife as well.

However, if this stepmother were older, she might be able to say thoughtfully: "It's okay, I will treat these two brothers and sisters as my own children."

It's a pity that she is too young. When Michael Shen was born, she was only two years old, and she was still old enough to wet the bed.

To be honest, Serena Shen had a very good impression of this stepmother.

She is indeed not the kind of person who can act like a monster. On the contrary, she is always angry with Michael Shen in this family, and has never complained or cried to Father Shen.

Whether this is because of her natural personality or because of her high emotional intelligence, it doesn't matter.

It can only be said that she has always managed this family very well.

After sitting down at the dining table, Serena Shen took the warm water poured by the nanny and said to the woman, "Auntie, I have something to ask you."

Naturally, what she wanted to ask about was about Starlight City and helping Zachary Cheng rent a store in the shopping mall.

The Shen family invested in Starlight City, but it was in the name of the stepmother named Wang Yushan.

Speaking of which, Michael Shen even went crazy over his stepmother's name: "Your name is Wang Yushan, and my dad's name is Shen Guoqiang. Do you think your names look like a couple when put together?"

The reason why she used her name to invest in the shares was so that she could get a share of the money from the mall every year.

This money is for her to spend on daily life.

It would be nicer to tell the outside world that I would get dividends from the shopping mall instead of saying that my husband would give me living expenses.

For Wang Yushan, although Serena Shen calls her aunt on weekdays, she gets along with her as a friend, more like a sister than a stepmother.

She never puts on airs in front of Serena Shen.

"Just tell me, what do you want to ask me?" She put down the corn juice cup and looked at Serena Shen.

"Are there any shops available for rent in Starlight City now? Or are there any that are about to expire?" she asked.

"Then I want to make a call and ask." Wang Yushan replied.

After saying that, she looked at Serena Shen and asked, "Which position do you want, and how big do you want it to be?"

"The location should be as central as possible. If you want to know how big it is, I'll ask." She picked up her phone and started sending a WeChat message.

"Are you asking for a friend?" Wang Yushan suddenly became interested.

In her impression, Serena Shen was a person with few friends, and the only one who came to the house was Lin Lu.

But she knew Lin Lu, and they had added each other on WeChat when they were guests at home before. If she was asking for Lin Lu, she would definitely tell her name directly.

"Well, I'm asking for a friend." Serena Shen said while typing for Zachary Cheng.

"A boy or a girl?" She was joking on purpose to liven up the atmosphere.

Our family, Ning Ning, doesn’t have many men around her.

She was so cold, so cold.

Some of Michael Shen's friends also came to visit her. Wang Yushan could tell that Michael Shen's friends were a little afraid of Ning Ning!

Of course, Michael Shen himself is also afraid of his sister, invincible!

Wang Yushan has a clear position in her heart: the person with the highest status in the family is actually Ning Ning, followed by Lao Shen who dotes on her daughter, then Michael Shen, and finally herself.

Unexpectedly, Serena Shen raised her head and said back: "Male."

Then she immediately added, frantically filling in Zachary Cheng's identity: "He is John Jiang's childhood friend."

"Oh, that's right, it's your cousin's fault." Wang Yushan didn't think so at all.

Serena Shen has a very cold temperament. She is actually very, very good to the people she recognizes and the people she is really close to.

But the problem is that it is difficult for others to be recognized by her and become someone close to her.

Oh, he is John Jiang's assistant?

This is not your temperament at all, right?

Unless John Jiang asks you for help, it's more like that.

At this moment, Serena Shen received Zachary Cheng's reply, and then relayed: "It's best to be about sixty square meters, or even bigger."

"Then what is this store going to do?" Wang Yushan asked again.

Make a phone call after you understand it clearly, otherwise you will have to make several calls in a row.

"Let me ask." Serena Shen said again.

This made Wang Yushan feel that something was wrong even more. Ning Ning was obviously very organized in doing things.

It's impossible for her not to know that shopping malls have their own investment standards and plans.

For central areas, you must also consider what project you are planning.

After receiving Zachary Cheng's reply, Serena Shen's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

She never thought that Zachary Cheng would want to join such an industry.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yushan looked at her expression and expressed concern.

"He said he was opening a milk tea shop." Serena Shen replied.

In her mind, this is a more unreliable project than opening a claw machine shop in front of the school.

Its level of unreliability is comparable to Michael Shen's various previous failures.

As mentioned before, many boys will think about opening Internet cafes, restaurants, bars, etc. when starting a business.

Girls start businesses such as nail salons, beauty salons, milk tea shops, flower shops, etc.

Nowadays, setting up your own brand and opening a milk tea shop is basically a dead end.

In front of those big brands that are already very famous and have stores all over the country, they have no competitiveness at all!

It is normal to open one house and lose another one.

And putting all this aside, under normal circumstances, it is really unlikely that a shopping mall like Starlight City will give a good location to a little-known homemade milk tea brand like you.

Wang Yushan was a little surprised when she heard that she was opening a milk tea shop.

The other party wants to settle in a shopping mall of Starlight City level, and they also want a central location, but they want to open a milk tea shop?

There's no way this can be linked together.

Why would a milk tea shop open in a place like this?

Do you think you are opening a Starbucks?

It's completely unnecessary. It's all unnecessary upfront investment. Isn't this just a waste of time?

Wang Yushan thought that Serena Shen would give up and go have a good chat with her friend.

But what she didn't expect was that Serena Shen said to her: "Auntie, isn't this matter a bit difficult to handle?"

If she asks this question, it means that her attitude is - it can be done or it must be done!

This gave this beautiful stepmother a thought:

"Who is the other party?"
