Since the opening of Mi Xue Ice Cream, there have been queues almost every time school lets out for lunch.
The heat was extraordinary.
Even college students from other nearby universities make a special trip to buy a cup of milk tea.
Many students from other schools, after trying this affordable milk tea, complained about why it wasn't sold near their university gates.
When Wang Rui was buying milk tea for Yang Meng, he overheard a similar conversation and immediately told Zhou Chen about it.
In fact, Xu Dalong had already started to rapidly expand his chain stores. In order to quickly seize the market, he specifically contacted several intermediaries to help find suitable stores.
From securing the shop, to decorating, to recruiting staff, and so on...
Xu Dalong was extremely busy.
Within a month, Zhou Chen knew that a Secret Snow Ice Cream Milk Tea shop would appear at the gate of every university in Yanjing.
Yanli University,
In a girls' dormitory,
"Zhou Na, this milk tea is for you. You can't buy it at our university. It's super delicious."
A roommate handed Zhou Na a cup of still-warm milk tea.
Zhou Na felt a little embarrassed and said thank you.
"This milk tea must be expensive, right?"
After taking the first sip, Zhou Na thought it was indeed delicious, completely different from other beverages, and a taste she had never experienced before.
"It's not expensive at all, only three yuan, and it's buy one get one free. It's just a pity that Yanda is a bit far from our university, otherwise I would buy one every day. I wish our school had a Secret Snow Ice Cream Milk Tea shop someday."
"My female roommate sighed."
Um?
Shops near Yenching University?
Zhou Na's expression flashed, and she instinctively thought of someone, someone she had always wanted to escape but could never escape, someone whose name she would still occasionally hear even after she went to university—Yan University.
"This milk tea shop is incredibly popular. We queued for ages to finally get our hands on some. The person who created such delicious milk tea is a true genius, and they sell it so cheaply. It's great value for money."
Listening to her roommate's words, Zhou Na looked thoughtful, but then a sense of helplessness filled her heart.
If only she had the money, she could franchise this store and open it across from the entrance of Yanli University. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the capital, and even though she recognizes the potential of this milk tea shop, there's nothing she can do.
She was just an ordinary person with no background or capital. If she had been born into a wealthy family, she could have easily made money than tutoring, given her keen sense of the market potential of milk tea. It was reality that limited her.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; this is Zhou Na's deepest feeling.
However,
Zhou Na seems to have forgotten that Zhou Chen also had no background or capital, but he still started from scratch and built his current business.
He shook his head.
Zhou Na cleared her mind of unrealistic fantasies. All she could do now was study hard so that she could earn more money after graduation, accumulate capital, and do whatever she wanted.
Now Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua no longer bother her. As long as she pays three hundred yuan a month, it will be fine. Although she is very unhappy about paying this amount, Zhou Na knows that compared to losing her reputation in front of her classmates and roommates, the three hundred yuan is worth it.
Once she graduates, she'll be able to completely get rid of those two bloodsuckers, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua.
Once they can no longer leech off her, she will no longer need to care about their threats.
But not now.
She had to endure humiliation and accept the exploitation she suffered at the hands of the two men.
"By the way, I heard from my advisor today that soon, the Beijing municipal government will be organizing a citywide university sports meet, and all universities in Beijing will participate."
"It will be very lively at that time. Do any of you want to sign up? I heard that the reward for winning a prize is huge, with a prize of 10,000 yuan."
"I can't do it, I don't have athletic talent..."
Zhou Na overheard her roommates' new topic of conversation.
Zhou Na has no talent in sports, so she naturally won't participate. And when talking about sports, Zhou Na once again thinks of that person.
She knew that person would definitely attend.
Moreover, it will attract a lot of attention.
Thinking of Zhou Chen's first place in track and field, a bitter look appeared on her face, which meant that she might run into Zhou Chen again.
The only thing that reassured her was that she could avoid facing Zhou Chen face-to-face as much as possible.
After all, she doesn't participate in the competition; at most, she'll be a spectator. And with so many people at the competition, the probability of her running into Zhou Chen is extremely low.
As long as she doesn't let the people around her know that Zhou Chen was her older brother, that she was the adopted daughter of Zhou Chen's parents, and that she was Zhou Ling's second older sister, that's fine.
Otherwise, things wouldn't be as harmonious in the dormitory as they are now.
...
"I'm signing up, I'm participating."
"I'll participate too."
In the classroom, Song Xiaodie announced that the citywide university sports meet would be held soon, and the boys eagerly signed up.
The computer science department has a large number of male students, so naturally there are many who enjoy sports and have athletic talent.
"Zhou Chen, the counselor is calling your name. You have to go on the field. This sports meet is about the honor of Yanda University. You have a lot of competition experience and have won awards. The school has high expectations for you to win first place in track and field."
After noting down some of the names of those who had signed up, Song Xiaodie went to where Zhou Chen was and said earnestly.
"Holy crap, I almost forgot, Chen Ge is not only a top student, but also a sports god, the national youth track and field champion, he's been on TV."
Wang Rui suddenly shouted and excitedly grabbed Zhou Chen's arm.
Many people heard this, and the others in the class only then realized what Zhou Chen had done and remembered his glorious deeds.
For a moment, many people cast complicated glances at them.
The male students, in particular, were genuinely envious and jealous of Zhou Chen, this freak who was good at studying, popular with women, and rich—possessing so many advantages.
In many people's eyes, Zhou Chen is a true winner in life.
"With Brother Chen in charge, those guys who signed up for track and field can only tremble in fear."
Zhang Hao commented with a smile.
Li Wei didn't say much, but he was good at agreeing and nodded repeatedly.
"Zhou Chen, do you agree to participate?"
Ignoring the group's sighs, Song Xiaodie asked again.
"no problem."
Zhou Chen shrugged. He hadn't participated in any competitions for a while, but he hadn't stopped training. He would go for a morning run or an evening run every day. Now, he was also very curious about whether he could surpass his previous record.
Song Xiaodie then handed Zhou Chen a form to fill out.
"Brother Chen, you're also playing basketball?"
When Wang Rui saw that Zhou Chen had checked both the track and field events and the basketball event, he was stunned.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said casually, "Compared to track and field, I'm actually better at basketball."
