Chapter 387 Homeless Counselor
In the slogan of Yuzu tea, the word "create" was removed.
Just like the classic line in "God of Gamblers", it is used here:
Milk tea world: I have never seen anyone so arrogant in my life.
Cheng Zhu: Hey! You saw it today!
Are you kidding? I’m extremely popular on the Internet and have more than 100 million in cash in my hands. Do you think I’m not a new force?
But when Chen Yue saw the slogan, she felt a strong sense of oppression.
What I need to face after the new year is indeed an emerging brand that has already become popular!
But Chen Yue changed her mind and thought, didn’t Youcha also take off shortly after it opened?
The time left for myself and the time it takes for Yuzucha to develop are actually about the same.
"If this guy can do it, I should be able to do it too."
"He opened the store in Century Plaza because he was probably afraid that I would take over the market in Shenzhen. After all, I was the first one in Shenzhen to make high-end milk tea."
“Why are there so many troubles on the road to entrepreneurship?”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to spend this New Year in peace." Chen Yue cursed in her heart.
At this moment, several more passers-by walked in from the east gate of the mall.
She soon heard their conversation.
"Ah! Is Yuzucha going to open a store in Century Plaza?"
"I've been wanting to drink it for a long time, I'll definitely come buy it when the time comes!"
"Why don't you write an opening time for the store?"
"It must be after the New Year. Then I'll come and see if it's as delicious as the legend says. I'll come and check it out."
"There seems to be a milk tea shop opening in Ximen. I think the milk tea and grapefruit tea they sell are similar."
"Just following the trend!"
The two girls were chatting and taking pictures with their mobile phones.
This is the influence of grapefruit tea today.
Milk tea can be posted on WeChat Moments. Even shops that are preparing for renovation will have people take photos of them and post them on WeChat Moments!
Chen Yue's face became even uglier as she listened to their conversation.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhu received a report from the Youcha team.
After obtaining financing, he hired a group of people to fly around the world to look for suitable shops and investigate local conditions.
Nowadays, Youcha has actually become more and more formalized, and the number of employees employed has long exceeded [insist on visiting].
Each department has its own responsibilities, and the embryonic form of a large company has already been formed.
"Mr. Cheng, the preliminary work for the Shenzhen Century Store has been completed, but a milk tea shop is about to open here."
"What's your name?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"Yuecha."
"I've never heard of it." Cheng Zhu said directly.
All kinds of monsters and ghosts, all kinds of ugly creatures, dare to open stores in high-end shopping malls!
In his opinion, since the location was chosen in a high-end shopping mall, the company probably wanted to replicate the success story of Yuzu Tea.
“How many Yuecha stores are we going to open in Shenzhen at once?” he asked.
"A family."
"A family? Then don't pay attention to it, it's just a minor quarrel." Cheng Zhu replied and ignored it.
He made the decision early on, and would rather spend a lot of extra money to open stores in major first-tier cities that are far away, just to not give these speculators time to develop.
You just come in to play with such little money?
"You only see that I built a tall building on flat ground, so you think the threshold here is low."
Things are different now.
If you follow my example and want to enter the market with millions of dollars, I will make you understand that you are not even qualified to enter.
Time passed, and it was time for winter break at the Polytechnic University.
Shen Qingning and Lin Lu left Xinhang Apartment and went home, ending the two girls' campus cohabitation life.
As for Shen Minglang, he is still in XJ and is connecting with several fruit merchants.
In recent years, the logistics industry has developed better and better.
The reason why many businesses can grow bigger and bigger is actually thanks to the development of logistics.
It was Mr. Shen’s first time to XJ, and he had many new experiences.
He called Cheng Zhu last night and told him that the fruit merchant took him to have fun and that the girl from Xinjiang was so pretty.
The exotic feeling made Shen Minglang feel very fresh and forget all the fatigue from the business trip.
"Do you know why many XJ girls are beautiful?" Cheng Zhu said with a smile.
"Why?"
"The exoticism is one aspect, and the other is that they can have plastic surgery openly, and sometimes people don't even suspect that they have had facial surgery. They think that people there are born that way." Cheng Zhu gave the answer.
"Fuck, what you said seems to make sense." Shen Minglang was shocked.
In his previous life, Cheng Zhu had in-depth contact with several Xinjiang girls, and learned these things from them.
"The New Year is coming soon, cousin, please come back earlier, don't be so idle." Cheng Zhu said on the phone.
"No, no, I'm here to discuss business, not to eat, drink and have fun. Don't worry, cousin, I know what I'm doing. I'm no longer the same person I used to be!" Shen Minglang still has a clear understanding of his past self.
Cheng Zhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry about this.
In the afternoon, Cheng Zhu first went to the [Insist on Visiting] studio to distribute year-end bonuses to everyone.
Although online transfers are very convenient now, he thinks it is more festive to give everyone thick cash red envelopes before the New Year.
All the employees smiled happily when they saw the thick red envelopes.
We workers come out to work just for the money.
This meant that every time Cheng Zhu gave out a red envelope, he would hear a long stream of auspicious words.
He was in a good mood about this and didn't feel any pain at all.
In his opinion, the employees who "insist on visiting" work very hard. Just take the customer service team as an example. It is not easy for a group of men to pretend to be girls online, make jokes all day long, and occasionally act coquettishly with the customers.
Moreover, half of the people in the studio have to work during the New Year holidays.
Wang Anquan can only take five days off.
After distributing year-end bonuses to ordinary employees, he called Wang Anquan to his office alone.
"This bag is for you." Cheng Zhu pointed to the LV men's handbag on the table.
"Brother Zhu, this bag is so cool." Wang Anquan immediately smiled cheerfully: "I am planning to go traveling during these few days of rest, and this bag will come in handy."
"Thank you, Brother Zhu." He smiled happily.
However, when he picked up the handbag, he found it unexpectedly heavy.
A surprised expression appeared on Wang Anquan's face, and then he suddenly thought of something.
He swallowed slightly and thought, "Isn't it full of banknotes?"
"Don't guess, what's inside is what you think." Cheng Zhu sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked like a domineering boss.
Other people’s bonuses can still be put into a bigger red envelope.
Wang Anquan is one of us, so naturally he is different.
When walking out of Cheng Zhu's office, Wang Anquan was still a little dazed.
There are only a few college students who work during college and get the same treatment as me, with a year-end bonus of a whole handbag full of cash!
"During the summer after graduating from high school, after Zhuge broke up with Li Xinyue, he seemed to have changed completely."
“And it’s a big change.”
"My life seemed to have changed inexplicably."
Wang Anquan roughly knew how much money Cheng Zhu could earn in a month just from e-commerce.
That is a fortune that an ordinary person cannot earn in his entire lifetime.
"I wonder if Li Xinyue will regret it?" Wang Anquan said in his heart, thinking about Cheng Zhu, his troublesome ex-girlfriend.
After distributing year-end bonuses to employees, Cheng Zhu transferred a sum of money to Ye Zi via online banking as her year-end bonus.
Although he knew very well that Ye Zi would be satisfied physically and mentally if she could get her year-end bonus before returning home.
But he will definitely not be stingy when it comes to the money that should be given.
What is gained through hard work must be given, and what is deserved must also be given.
The same thing happened on Hu Yan's side, and Cheng Zhu also transferred some money over.
At this moment, Hu Yan had already moved into the house that Cheng Zhu rented for her.
I sit in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window to paint every day, and when I lower my head at night, I can see the dreamy night view of the Magic City.
In terms of living environment, it is much better than before.
However, she often became a little absent-minded when looking at the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
After being in a daze for a while, her cheeks and neck would start to turn red, and it was obvious that she was thinking about something dirty.
In fact, this kind of slightly plump person is indeed a perfect match for floor-to-ceiling windows.
The soft meat is squeezed and spread out on the glass, which creates a unique style and visual impact.
For Cheng Zhu, people like Ye Zi and Hu Yan are working for him, so sometimes it seems more natural to give them money.
After transferring money to them, Cheng Zhu went out.
He now had one more thing to do.
"There is someone who should need me right now, right?" he thought.
In the staff dormitory of the University of Science and Technology, Chen Jieyu sat on the sofa, took off her gold-rimmed glasses, covered her face with her hands, and her long hair fell on both sides of her cheeks.
Just now, Zhao Xiaoqian, the counselor who lives upstairs from her, said goodbye to her via WeChat and took the train back to her hometown.
Chen Jieyu had no plans to go home for the New Year this year.
In other words, since the last time, she felt that there was no difference between herself and the stray cats and dogs in the city.
She has no home anymore.
The most frustrating thing is that she wanted to leave that family, but that family had no intention of letting her go.
This morning, she received a call from her mother.
She didn't answer the first call.
Three minutes later, the phone rang again.
Just like that, four calls came in one go.
Chen Jieyu sighed and answered the phone.
She knew very well that the call was not made by the other party himself, but someone asked her to call him.
On the phone, the woman asked her in a concerned tone whether she had bought the ticket and when she would arrive home.
"I'm staying in Hangzhou this year," said Concubine Chen.
Her reply made the woman visibly stunned.
Sure enough, within a moment, she heard the man's voice: "Give me the phone!"
Immediately afterwards, a lot of ugly insults came from the other end of the phone.
Of course, the words she heard over and over again were actually the same ones she had heard since she was a child.
For example, something that loses money.
After a long time, Concubine Chen had actually become immune to these things.
She put her phone on the coffee table and turned on the speakerphone. She had a blank expression on her face the entire time and was even a little distracted.
After hearing her silence, the man on the other side began to tell her his purpose.
"How much money did the school give out as year-end bonus this year?" the man asked.
"I have no money." Concubine Chen replied calmly.
The school had indeed distributed the money, but she had her own plans.
She wanted to go shopping in a mall before New Year's Eve and buy a decent gift for Cheng Zhu.
The counselor had never been in a relationship and didn’t know what to give to a boy, so she even searched online: what gifts do male college students like?
Looking at her own search history, this young urban woman felt that she was a bit childish and ridiculous.
This year-end bonus is her entire budget for buying gifts.
She actually knew very well that every year when they went home, they didn't really care whether their own people went back or not, what they cared about was the money.
It's a money-losing product, so you have to subsidize this family, right?
Soon, the man's verbal abuse came from the other end of the phone.
His voice is very high-pitched and extremely loud.
This is the case on weekdays, as if as long as his voice can drown out everyone else's, he is the most authoritative person.
He doesn't need to be reasoned with, and he simply won't listen to reason.
In his eyes, every well-reasoned rebuttal of yours is a disrespect to himself and a challenge to his patriarchy!
In fact, if they were not thousands of miles apart, what would greet her would not be verbal abuse, but probably a solid slap in the face.
What follows is the same old story.
The woman will come up to protect her.
One person plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop in the family.
My grandparents watched coldly from the sidelines, muttering something to themselves.
It's New Year's Day, and I, a money-loser, am still like this. The elderly think it's very unlucky and a bad sign for the start of the new year.
In the end, the man would often say to the woman who was protecting her daughter, "If you continue to protect her, I will beat you too," which would make Concubine Chen completely retreat and surrender.
She used to care about her mother very much. She cared about her mother the most.
But after what happened last time, she suddenly felt that there was no one she could care about in this family.
At this moment, Concubine Chen sat on the sofa and picked up the gold-rimmed glasses and put them on herself again.
She started searching for gifts that male college students would like in order to divert her emotions.
When she thought about the fact that she now had money to buy things for Cheng Zhu, her mood would indeed improve.
She hopes to see Cheng Zhu wearing the sneakers she bought for him one day, or using the wallet she bought for him.
Just imagining this would make her serious face soften a little.
A few minutes later, Chen Jieyu's cell phone rang and she received a WeChat message from Cheng Zhu.
"Are you in the dormitory?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"Yeah," she replied.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Chen Jieyu was stunned for a moment. It was still daytime!
In the past, Cheng Zhu would sneak upstairs in the middle of the night and sneak downstairs after finishing his work.
He hasn't been here during the day.
But the counselor thought again and realized that he was worrying too much.
"Everyone has gone home for the New Year. There are only a few people left in the building."
After a while, to her surprise, Cheng Zhu did not go upstairs.
Based on her understanding of this bad student, his purpose every time he came here was extremely pure, so she just went back to the bedroom alone to change into a set of clean underwear.
"Come downstairs, I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot." Cheng Zhu sent a WeChat message.
The counselor put on her coat, picked up the bag Cheng Zhu had given her, and went downstairs feeling a little puzzled.
After getting in the car, he said to her, "Are you not going back this year?"
"Yeah." Concubine Chen nodded, her eyelids slightly drooped, with a slight gloom in her eyes.
"Do you feel like you are homeless? On New Year's Eve, every household will have lights on, but not a single one will belong to you." Cheng Zhu began to feel heartbroken.
Concubine Chen turned her head and looked at him, her eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses containing an extremely complicated expression.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Although this sounds hurtful, it is the truth.
Cheng Zhu looked at her expression and guessed, "Did they call you again?"
Concubine Chen nodded slightly.
"But during the Chinese New Year, people always have to go home," said Cheng Zhu.
This sentence surprised Chen Jieyu very much. She never thought that Cheng Zhu came to persuade her to go home.
"Why is it that even he..." The counselor suddenly felt a little disheartened.
However, the next moment.
The bad student just looked at her, maintained his domineering persona today, and took out a card from his pocket.
"I know you have no home to return to, so let's go buy one now."
