Chapter 175
Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 175
In Starbucks, Serena Shen listened to Zachary Cheng's words, her cold face tightening slightly.
She was really nervous when she had a video call with Yuna Xu just now, but she thought she concealed it well.
But what annoyed her most was that Zachary Cheng was not nervous at all when he saw his stepmother.
This was also the reason why she felt a little disappointed before.
It turned out that this person was so good that he actually criticized himself and looked at me with an expression as if he was watching a show!
"Do I have one?" Serena Shen said hard and raised her eyes to look at him.
The aura is as strong as ever, but the main focus at the moment is a strong support.
"Okay, okay." Zachary Cheng smiled and lowered his head to take a sip of coffee.
When Serena Shen looked at him, the feeling of loss in her heart was still spreading.
Because in her opinion, if a boy of this age really has a crush on a girl, he will "hide" her in front of some people.
For example, when facing parents.
Zachary Cheng's behavior was so natural that he didn't mind letting his mother know that he was alone with a girl.
It feels like we are just friends, we are innocent, have a clear conscience, and are not afraid of others asking and thinking too much.
It's not like her. When Zachary Cheng met her stepmother, he wasn't nervous at all, but Serena Shen herself was a little nervous.
At this moment, Zachary Cheng took a sip of coffee and began to say vaguely: "Actually, I have been quite nervous all afternoon today."
I just didn’t say specifically whether I was worried about renting a store or other aspects.
"Huh?" Serena Shen raised her head: "I can't tell."
"That's for sure, a real man can't show his emotions or anger!" Cheng Yi said with a stinking look on his face, "Didn't Auntie notice it too?"
The cold girl bit the straw gently, then flattened the straw, took a small sip of coffee, and then let out a soft ooh.
After Cheng gradually stopped talking, he started to change the topic.
"Speaking of which, the two times I opened a physical store, I rented your store." He said with a smile.
The shop at the school gate was a gift from Father Shen to his daughter, which meant that she could collect rent and have more pocket money.
In Starlight City, the Shen family has a stake.
"Actually, the claw machine shop and the milk tea shop are my sister's little wishes. You have indirectly helped her realize her wish. No wonder you asked me to give you half of the only candied haws." He said casually.
"Actually, I thought that little Yuzu wouldn't like me." The tsundere girl rarely revealed her sincerity, perhaps because the person in question was the most innocent child.
"Huh? Why?"
"I seem to have always had a bad rapport with children. The younger brothers and sisters in my family also prefer to play with my brother and John Jiang."
"That's for sure. You have a straight face all day long, and you have no expression on your face. You frown at every turn, and you don't have a few nice words in your mouth." Zachary Cheng continued to talk.
"Look, I'm frowning again." He grinned.
"Don't talk about children, I think John Jiang and Michael Shen are both afraid of you." Zachary Cheng shrugged slightly.
"I think the magnesium ostrich is bad and Lengji is playing small!" Bi Dioxi said angrily in her heart.
Cheng Zhuze continued: "My sister actually likes you quite a lot. Although I don't know why, that's the situation."
"Then she should like Lulu more." Serena Shen raised her eyes to look at him, or rather her eyes were fixed on him.
"Then I don't know, but it's possible?" Zachary Cheng looked into her eyes without fear.
"But even if she doesn't like you first in the world, it doesn't mean she doesn't like you, right?" he said.
Serena Shen said nothing, but lowered her head and took another sip of coffee.
At this moment, Zachary Cheng noticed Wu Yuzhou walking out of the perfume shop opposite.
The other party seemed to have spotted Serena Shen and Zachary Cheng sitting in Starbucks at a glance.
The two of them sitting together were indeed a bit too eye-catching.
But this time Wu Yuzhou just nodded slightly at Zachary Cheng, who was looking at him, and had no intention of coming over to join in the fun.
Serena Shen followed his gaze, turned to look outside, and then said to Cheng Zhudao: "The location of this store is really good. If you open a milk tea shop here, people outside the mall can see it."
"But do you really think it's a good thing to open opposite Starbucks?" She was a little curious.
She wasn't sure whether Zachary Cheng said that just to win this store, or if that's what he really thought.
Because based on normal business logic, this is really not a good thing.
No matter what everyone thinks of Starbucks, it has been operating at this price for many years.
You have a newly established milk tea brand that has no public acceptance, sells milk tea at twice the price of ordinary milk tea, and opens opposite Starbucks. Most people will think that this is a dead end!
Even to put it harshly, many people will think: "Is this boss a fool?"
Hearing this, Zachary Cheng smiled and said frankly: "I do think it is a good thing."
There is a Starbucks across the street, which is great.
I'm going to Starbucks!
"Why?" Serena Shen asked.
"It's hard to explain in just a few words. I'll tell you slowly when the store opens. I actually like fighting this kind of complicated battle."
"Because sometimes, seemingly unfavorable situations can actually be exploited."
"Wealth can only be found in danger." Cheng Zhuxian said something that everyone had heard.
Then, he added in a coaxing tone:
"The well-known economics professor Gao Qiqiang once said: The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"
Serena Shen was very unfamiliar with this name and felt as if she had never heard of this economics professor.
But seeing how confident Zachary Cheng was, she didn't say much.
In her opinion, Zachary Cheng seemed to be very good at taking the wrong approach and finding new paths.
Since he really thought so, she felt more at ease.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zachary Cheng and Serena Shen found a hot pot restaurant in the shopping mall and started having dinner together.
Zachary Cheng only found out today that Serena Shen likes spicy food.
"Did you know that spicy is not actually a taste, but a pain." Zachary Cheng looked at the spicy pot and said to her.
"Huh? I think I've seen it somewhere." Serena Shen said as she put beef brains into the spicy pot.
"Sour, sweet, bitter and salty are all tastes, but spicy is not." Zachary Cheng said: "But people are quite strange. Many people just like spicy food, just like you and me."
"Don't make it sound like we have masochistic tendencies." Serena Shen raised her eyes and glanced at him, then started to put the lunch meat in again.
"I didn't mean that." Zachary Cheng stirred his sauce plate with chopsticks.
He took his phone and checked the time. Thinking that it was already past five o'clock, he sent Yvette Ye a WeChat message.
"Are you still in the hotel?" he asked first.
"No, I'm eating nearby with Liu Jiani and the others." Yvette Ye replied.
"Have the shooting plans for the next few days been arranged?"
"arranged."
"Send it to me." Zachary Cheng said.
The factory in Guanyun has been rented, and a new batch of machines have been purchased.
Guanyun can become the QQ underwear capital of the world because of its unique conditions.
Due to some special reasons, there is no shortage of experienced female textile workers in this place.
In other words, there are enough workers.
Many people who have run factories with a lot of manual procedures should know very well that recruiting workers has always been a very annoying problem.
But for Zachary Cheng, everything is ready now.
After all the seller shows are completed, you can start to enter the overseas market.
Yvette Ye quickly sent over the schedule form.
Zachary Cheng took a quick look and found that the schedule was quite tight. Yvette Ye probably felt that his boss was in a hurry.
"Okay, just shoot like this." Zachary Cheng replied.
"Yes." Yvette Ye said to Zachary Cheng at this moment: "Boss, Liu Jiani wants to add your WeChat account. Can I push your WeChat account to her?"
"Okay." Cheng Zhuchen asked, "Did you talk about anything after I left?"
"We just chatted a few words about the product design of our store. She is not a fashion designer, so she is more interested in this. She was surprised to hear that the clothes in our store are all designed by you, the boss yourself." Yvette Ye Reply to the letter.
Zachary Cheng heard and understood: The relationship is that after I left, you helped me pretend to be cool!
――You have a new Have it installed? order, please check it.
But speaking of it, there must be a reason why these popular items in [Insistence Visit] are so popular.
If you want to say that it really doesn’t have a brilliant design or great details, that’s impossible.
What's more, Liu Jiani likes to design some sexy clothes. She must be more aware of the tricks in some QQ products.
Lao Siji, I guess you can see that these products are not only novel in design, but also practical?
To put it simply, it looks good and is easy to use. It’s perfect!
Soon, he received friend verification applications from mixed Chinese and French people.
After clicking through, he took a look at the friend circle of this woman with huge breasts, which was full of photos with all kinds of beauties.
Among them, most of them are foreign girls.
"Oh, it seems she has quite a lot of resources around her." Zachary Cheng thought in his mind.
Serena Shen looked at Zachary Cheng who had been looking at his phone and didn't know who he was chatting with.
After a while, she reminded her loudly: "Eat a little first, it's already cooked."
"Okay." Zachary Cheng put down his phone.
Halfway through the meal, the waiter from the hot pot restaurant came over with a Polaroid camera and said, "Hello, our store is currently having a free Polaroid event. Would you like to take a photo together?" "
"Want to take a photo?" Zachary Cheng asked.
If it were Lin Lu, he wouldn't even ask. With her temperament, she would definitely want to take pictures.
Serena Shen doesn't like taking photos very much, and she never posts photos of herself on her WeChat Moments.
When I took pictures of her in You Come to Play before, she was a little stiff and not very natural.
Unexpectedly, her reply was: "Whatever, I can do it."
"Then let's take a picture." Cheng Zhudao.
"Well, handsome guy and beautiful girl, why don't you sit in the same row?" the waitress suggested.
Zachary Cheng and Serena Shen were now sitting face to face.
"Okay." Zachary Cheng cooperated and sat down next to Serena Shen, but the two still kept a certain distance.
While taking pictures, he raised his right hand to make a gesture.
Then he saw that Serena Shen was very stiff, so he raised his other hand and made a childish gesture beside her head.
Serena Shen noticed the funny palms behind his back and didn't say anything. Instead, she tilted her head slightly in Biye's direction.
