Chapter 89
Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 89
"This store of mine will only be open for half a year at most." Zachary Cheng said to everyone.
At this moment, Cheng Zhuzheng, Michael Shen and others were sitting together at the entrance of a milk tea shop outside the school.
This cousin and John Jiang clamored to come and see the store Zachary Cheng rented and offered him advice. Tonight, the two of them drove here together.
Serena Shen and Lin Lu were also called together and met at the milk tea shop at eight o'clock in the evening.
As a result, after the two brothers sat down outside the milk tea shop, they didn't want to move and had no intention of going to the sushi restaurant.
"I rolled down the car window and took a look when I was passing by." Michael Shen said.
"Add 1!" John Jiang nodded.
Then, there is no more.
"No, who kept saying 'three bastards will defeat Zhuge Liang' on the way here?" Zachary Cheng said angrily.
Michael Shen and John Jiang looked at each other. They looked outside the sushi restaurant and really couldn't make any constructive suggestions.
Mr. Xiao Jiang, who was most familiar with Zachary Cheng, took a sip of milk tea and said, "Oh, even if we have some suggestions, will you listen?"
"Oh, you understand me, of course not." Zachary Cheng answered directly.
Serena Shen and Lin Lu were sipping sweet milk tea and listening to their bickering.
When John Jiang and Michael Shen asked him about his future plans for the store, Zachary Cheng did not hide it from his friends and directly stated that he only planned to open the store for half a year.
"Ah? Why?" Lin Lu was the first to express his confusion.
"No reason, because this kind of store is destined to only make quick money." Zachary Cheng replied.
"But what you asked me to sign was a one-year rent contract." Serena Shen looked at him and felt puzzled.
We are all friends. Since you had no intention of continuing to open this store from the beginning, it is okay for us to sign a monthly rental contract. Why do you need to pay a year's rent in one go?
Zachary Cheng grinned and said, "The reason is very simple. If I don't want to continue driving, what if someone wants to take over?"
"Fuck, you bad guy!" Michael Shen immediately laughed and cursed.
He knew that there were some people who opened stores who engaged in this kind of saucy operation.
Some stores are destined to be popular only for a while.
But some investors will be confused by this prosperous appearance.
Whether it is diluting one's own shares or selling the store directly, there may be people who will take over the business, and there may even be people queuing up to take over.
When the time comes, the price at which it is resold is often higher than the initial investment amount!
This is a very normal business phenomenon. It cannot even be said to be the behavior of profiteers. It is really a case of those who are willing to fight and those who are willing to suffer.
The so-called buying up and not buying down is almost the same.
No one here thought that Zachary Cheng was going in this direction from the beginning!
However, the prerequisite for this operation is that the store must have a stable and popular period for several months.
In fact, none of them are very optimistic about this.
Serena Shen and Lin Lu knew that there was a small video arcade outside the school.
Michael Shen understands that young people's money is easy to make, but it is difficult to make money.
John Jiang is even more powerful. Don't forget, his family once invested in a large video game arcade.
This is true for an arcade mall with a complete range of machines and a wide variety of gameplay and tricks. A store that only has claw machines really feels like it has nothing to offer.
But Cheng Zhuyi had his own way, and the new project would be officially launched tomorrow, so it was impossible for everyone to say some unlucky sarcastic words at this time.
Everyone just wants to help when the time comes.
They didn't know that Zachary Cheng actually only told half of the story. There were many important reasons why he chose to resell the store when the time came.
But there’s no need to talk about it now, after all, the store hasn’t even opened yet.
On the other side, Xu Shao and Zhang Qiqi walked out of this high-end sushi restaurant at eight-twenty.
Xu Shao chatted with his boss for a long time. Zhang Qiqi was already impatient, but she still wanted to keep a smile on her face.
After walking out of the store, Xu Shao looked back at the store and sighed: "Qiqi, the first time we went out to eat was here."
"Yes." Zhang Qiqi said perfunctorily, but she was thinking in her heart: "Then the store will be gone. If you think about it again, what will happen to me and Meiwujun?"
In her list, Xu Shao ranked among the top three in terms of overall rating.
Although he talks a lot, is always filled with emotion, and likes to pretend to be mature, he is indeed generous and will give him a little hope, and he will have beautiful thoughts about the future.
If people like him don't get tricked into turning their mouths upside down, then that's the devil.
Xu Shao felt that the two of them had left many good memories in the sushi restaurant.
For Zhang Qiqi, this is just a place to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.
After all, for the college friends around you, if you post a Michelin restaurant in Hangzhou, they may not know its grade. But this sushi restaurant outside the school is different. It is notoriously expensive in the school, and it is the shop with the highest per capita consumption at the school gate.
When she saw Xu Shao standing here again and sighing for more than a minute, she just thought: "A grown man talks so much nonsense and keeps being pretentious. It's really embarrassing!"
Xu Shao didn't want to separate from Zhang Qiqi after dinner, so he suggested, "How about we go have a cup of milk tea or a smoothie together? Of course, I'm talking about going to the mall."
"No, I want to go back to the dormitory first. I have something to write tonight." She smiled at Xu Shao and said, "Let's go to the fruit shop to buy a glass of juice later."
"Okay." Xu Shao agreed.
When the two walked to the fruit shop, they happened to see Zachary Cheng and others sitting across the street.
Xu Shao followed her gaze and looked over there. When he saw the looks of Serena Shen and Lin Lu, he immediately felt a deep sense of amazement.
There was no way around it. Their innate conditions were better than Zhang Qiqi's, and the two best friends were always inseparable and often went out together. When two goddess-level girls with different styles come together, the visual impact they bring is definitely one plus one greater than two.
As mentioned before, Xu Shao had already graduated when the two girls entered school, so this was the first time he saw a real person.
After Lin Lu and Serena Shen appeared in the milk tea shop, their return rate has been very high, and the business of this shop has become better.
Many people passing by were curious about who these three men were sitting at the same table.
Looking at it, this table is simply filled with: goddesses, goddesses, slutty dogs dressed up in fancy clothes, a bit of a girly man, and hey, this guy is kind of fucking handsome!
Everyone instinctively ignored Michael Shen and John Jiang, thinking that there should be no possibility for them and these two goddesses.
Only this man in black short-sleeves was talking and laughing with them. He was really hated!
Damn, he really deserves to die! Do you know that the gun ban saved your life? Otherwise, sooner or later, I will give you a tug-of-war!
"They are very beautiful, right?" Zhang Qiqi said suddenly.
"Ahem!" Xu Shao immediately looked away, duplicity: "You are my ideal type, they are not my type."
To be honest, if he had seen Serena Shen and Lin Lu before, he might have really gotten into it.
But how can it be the same now?
The relationship between Qiqi and me is just a final step away!
I'm about to make it!
At this time, if you are shaken by external factors, wouldn’t that be pure stupidity?
You must first get the pretty girl you can easily get!
"Go to that milk tea shop and buy a few drinks. I'll take them back to my roommates. They love drinking milk tea." Zhang Qiqi added a new reason: "We've been watching them for so long, and they must have felt it too. But go and call them." Not even a good greeting."
"Uh, okay." Xu Shao nodded.
Zhang Qiqi was seen walking forward first, and she was walking very fast, so that Xu Shao, who didn't react for a while, was a few steps behind her, and the distance between her and her was widened.
"Hello, two school girls, we meet again." She first greeted Serena Shen and Lin Lu with a smile.
They are indeed not familiar with each other. They have only met a few times and have never been added as friends. They are just acquaintances.
But many girls just love to do superficial things.
After Zhang Qiqi greeted the two girls, she immediately looked at Zachary Cheng, raised her hand to ruffle her hair, and said with a smile, "Junior Zachary Cheng, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Her eyes were always looking at Zachary Cheng. Her delicate face was tilted almost fifteen degrees to the left. The smile on her face was just right, giving people a faint sense of intimacy.
When we were at the sushi restaurant, the boy in front of me acted quite coldly. I don't know if I really didn't see him, or I just pretended not to see him and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
But what is certain is that the roommates next to him all greeted him. He stood outside the sushi restaurant waiting for his roommates to come out, and had no intention of coming in to say hello to him.
The boy stood outside the door and watched from a distance without moving.
It stands to reason that this is the case for private meetings, and now that there are two other beautiful girls present, the usual approach for men is to try their best to appear more indifferent to other members of the opposite sex.
Like Xu Shao, who is obviously obsessed with Serena Shen and Lin Lu, but still insists on saying: "Qiqi, you are my ideal type."
The desire to survive is a lesson that men must learn.
All this was actually within Zhang Qiqi's expectation.
But she still chose to stand here, in front of Lin Lu and Serena Shen, creating the appearance that she was quite interested in Zachary Cheng.
No, it can't be said to be a creation. She is indeed very interested in Zachary Cheng.
But the performance of this junior Zachary Cheng was completely different from what she expected.
In the sushi restaurant, he obviously had an indifferent face, but now, he was grinning, with a slight enthusiasm in his expression, and his eyes directly met hers, without looking away from her delicate facial features. He moved away, as if he was deeply attracted.
Zachary Cheng responded: "Oh, Senior Zhang, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"
Zhang Qiqi looked at him and a voice came up in her heart: "What is he doing!"
