Chapter 522 Lin Lu’s Reward
At home, Cheng Zhu was watching TV with Xiao Youzi.
"Pig Man" was playing on TV. He had seen this episode and had some impression of it.
Cheng Zhu looked around and wondered, "I wonder if my parents have changed their minds?"
He had expressed his intention several months ago to buy them a large flat in a high-end residential area with better property management to improve their living environment.
But my parents don’t have this idea for the time being.
Now, our family is getting better and better, and my son is so promising.
All the neighbors are people I know, so when we go out to brag and chat, we feel happier and more proud.
"However, there will definitely be a lot of troubles that come with it." Cheng Zhu was very clear about this.
For example, can you help me find a job for my son?
For example, borrowing money.
For example, please tell me how to start a business.
Some people even think that Cheng Zhu is a big shot, and they would come to him for help even with things like finding a school for their children.
At this moment, Cheng Zhu glanced at his sister who had twin ponytails and asked with a smile, "Has Xiaoyouzi grown a little taller recently?"
The little girl's eyes were fixed on the TV, but she would not ignore her brother just because she was watching cartoons. She answered with two minds at the same time: "I have grown a little bit taller!"
Cheng Zhu smiled and rubbed her little head.
After finishing watching this episode of "Pig Man", Xiaoyouzi started to change channels skillfully and then started watching "The Legend of Nezha".
"Haven't you read it once?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"Look at it again, look at it again!" Little Youzi shouted.
This reminded him of his childhood, when it was the same. Even if he had seen the cartoons on TV several times, he would watch them over and over again and never get bored of them.
Unlike now, people don’t have the patience to watch a TV series. They either turn on the speed mode or fast forward.
About five minutes later, my mother Xu Yun came to call us for dinner.
Comrade Lao Cheng has now handed over the small restaurant to his apprentice. He and Xu Yun are now mainly busy with the community fresh food supermarket, and have opened five stores in Hangzhou.
The business is not big, but my parents enjoy it.
At the dinner table, Cheng Zhu kept praising them, saying that his business acumen was genetic!
Little Youzi was holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, with her big round eyes open. She put the glass down, held her head and moved closer to Cheng Zhu, saying:
"Brother, take a look! Can you help me see if I have a golden brain?"
She was quite anxious and patted the top of her head.
"It's a business mind." Everyone in the family was amused by her.
After dinner, Xiao Youzi said she wanted to go play with Sister Xiaolu, so Cheng Zhu called Lin Lu and planned to take them to the video game arcade in Starlight City.
Lin Lu set out early and arrived earlier than them.
She stood outside the door of the video game arcade, and people passing by couldn't help but take a look.
Today's energetic girl is wearing a burgundy polo shirt from Miumiu and a black skirt with a pair of black leather shoes. She looks cute and lovely, and is full of energy.
When Cheng Zhu saw her from a distance, he also saw three boys pushing each other behind her. It was obvious that they wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but were a little afraid to do so.
The dog man picked up little Youzi and trotted towards Lin Lu.
His sister was holding him like this and charging forward, and she was laughing with her mouth open.
When he ran to the little deer, he grabbed her little hand.
If it weren't for Lin Lu's strong girlishness, it would look like a family of three out for fun.
"What are you doing? Why are you rushing over here with little Yuzi in your arms?" the little deer wondered and asked with a smile.
"There is an enemy!" Cheng Zhu's mouth twisted, his expression serious.
"Ah? What is that?" Lin Lu was even more confused.
"Just now, a few handsome guys wanted to chat with you." Cheng Zhu began to show his strong possessiveness.
Lin Lu felt a little sweet in her heart, but she said, "Ah! Little handsome boy? Where is he?"
She started to look around, but Cheng Zhu's big hand held her head down and turned her head back.
"Let's go and line up to buy coins." He pulled his girlfriend and sister and walked inside.
While Cheng Zhu was queuing, Lin Lu took Xiao Youzi to the claw machine and started looking at the dolls in each machine.
Cheng Zhu, who had bought 200 game coins, came over with a small basket of coins and asked, "Why are you rushing over here in such a hurry?"
"Cheng Zhu, help me catch this! Catch this pig!" Lin Lu pointed at a slightly large pig doll.
The little pig doll with the words "Cheng Zhu" on it in her house was a little too small, and she felt it was uncomfortable to beat it.
And after being hit so many times, one place became dented.
Lin Lu was reluctant to part with it at once. After all, this seemed to be the first gadget that Cheng Zhu gave her.
Cheng Zhu was speechless, but did as he was told.
He has excellent skills and is not short of money, so the worst that can happen is that he can just do some "protective collateral".
After catching it, he didn't give the big pig doll to Lin Lu, but let Xiao Youzi hold it.
This big pig doll was taller than her. When she picked it up, it covered her entire face.
This is exactly the effect that the dog man wants.
Then he looked at Lin Lu and pointed at his cheek.
The little deer looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly kissed him on the face as a reward.
In Xiyuan Apartment, across the street from Xinhang Apartment, Zhang Qiqi and Meng Yiyi were sitting together in the living room watching a variety show.
The sisters were both wearing home clothes, with pure white T-shirts on the upper body and solid-colored cotton pants on the lower body.
Zhang Qiqi is slightly taller than Yiyi, so her legs are longer.
But Yiyi's proportions are also very good, and she is really the ceiling of "fair, young and thin". Her skin is really like a baby's, as if there is no blemish at all.
At this moment, they were all sitting cross-legged on the sofa, each holding half a small watermelon in their hands.
Ever since Yiyi came to Hangzhou to stay temporarily, there has never been a shortage of fruit at home.
Besides, there was always a constant supply of flowers in the vase.
These are things that Zhang Qiqi would not do on a normal day.
She was now digging into the watermelon with a spoon, and occasionally she was a little distracted.
This internet celebrity school beauty who has officially graduated from the University of Science and Technology, naturally, most of her troubles come from Cheng Zhu.
"Why don't my junior classmates come to me on their own initiative?" She was a little confused about the whole thing.
Ever since that night when they were trapped in the car by heavy rain, every time she tried to talk to Cheng Zhu, he would basically reply and chat with her for a few words, but he would never take the initiative to look for her, let alone ask her out.
"Logically speaking, we all acted like that in the car that day!" Kiki thought.
"Normally speaking, aren't men very impatient and demanding in this regard?" She didn't understand.
"Under normal circumstances, you would strike while the iron is hot, right?"
Sometimes she couldn't help but think of that rainy night, the Land Rover surrounded by rain curtains, and everything that happened to Cheng Zhu that night.
Then, Zhang Qiqi's body would feel slightly hot, as if she had a low fever.
"Maybe I'm too busy at work." This is all Zhang Qiqi could think of.
Yi Yi, who was watching the variety show attentively, saw that his cousin was distracted and the spoon in her hand was constantly digging in half a watermelon. He guessed that she must be thinking about her brother Cheng Zhu again and was in a bad mood!
Of course, this pure little white flower has been a little sluggish recently.
"Brother Cheng Zhu said he wanted to treat me to a meal."
"So many days have passed in the blink of an eye."
She has been staying at Zhang Qiqi's house for nearly half a month.
Her mother Meng Qingyu called her yesterday and asked her how she could stay in Hangzhou for so long this time, and whether the money she brought with her was enough.
Finally, the same voice as Qiqi's emerged in Yiyi's mind.
“Maybe I’m too busy at work.”
With the arrival of summer vacation, Cheng Zhu is indeed becoming busier and busier.
He began to feel a little fortunate that Ningning could help him with many tasks in the company.
Now generally speaking, Shen Qingning is the one who has spent the longest time with him.
We meet at the company almost every day and often go home together after get off work.
Both of them gradually began to get used to this pattern.
All I can say is that Cheng Zhu's plan to [kidnap the Shen family] is going smoothly for the time being.
In the afternoon, [A全民可飞·Shen Minglang] returned from a business trip and came to the company.
Young Master Shen always makes his presence known every time he comes to the company.
So today, he bought a lot of mille-feuille cakes as afternoon desserts for his employees.
"Why don't you just ask the dessert chef to come to the company to help you set up a dessert table?" Cheng Zhu teased with a smile.
As a result, the sunny and cheerful boy responded: "Is it okay?"
He thought it was so cool that he always made such a grand ceremony every time he came back from a business trip!
Cheng Zhu: “.”
Shen Qingning looked at Cheng Zhu's speechless expression and found it quite interesting.
The three of them came to Cheng Zhu's office and sat down, and Shen Minglang began to report the results of his business trip.
He is really getting darker and darker now.
After finishing the report, Cheng Zhu couldn't help but look at Shen Qingning: "Why don't you buy a bottle of sunscreen for your brother?"
"It's okay. I think I look more handsome now that I'm darker." Shen Minglang said.
His idea is very simple. When he meets old friends or old friends now, everyone will be extremely surprised: "Why are you so dark?"
At times like this, he can talk at length about how hard his work is and how important he is to Yucha!
What a great entry point for showing off!
This is what he learned from Cheng Zhu. Once he finds a suitable entry point, he will just keep pretending!
"Cousin, you told me on the phone last time that you were planning to participate in the F round of financing for Are You Hungry?" Shen Minglang took the initiative to bring up this topic.
"Yeah." Cheng Zhu nodded, and then said: "It's a pity that I can't bring you with me for this round of financing. They didn't agree."
"It doesn't matter. You are the founder of Youcha. It is enough for you to become a shareholder of the platform." Shen Minglang waved his hand to show that he could understand.
The three major food delivery platforms are now thriving. It would be great if Cheng Zhu could get involved himself, but it is impossible for him to "drag his family along".
"Now that we, Youcha, have joined Dianping and Are You Hungry, we will definitely win this [takeout war]!" Shen Minglang began to speak auspicious words.
"Of course this couldn't be better. However, Zhang Xuhao and Zhang Tao must be having a headache now." Cheng Zhu smiled.
Shen Minglang looked up at his "master" to some extent, and instantly felt: "It's over, my cousin has taken the opportunity to show off!"
He started to listen attentively so that he could pretend to be second-hand to others: "Why?"
"Because they may not be able to figure out [Mi Tuan] Wang Xin's cards now." Cheng Zhu replied.
The facts were exactly as he expected.
Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao have been a little confused these days.
"Too fierce! [Rice Ball] has been too fierce recently!"
In the past, [Mi Tuan] was known for being “stingy” among all the group buying forces.
The main focus is to stay alive and develop. I don’t give a shit about you spending money.
In this mode, it can compete with [Dianping] on equal terms and fight back and forth. Now it has started the crazy money-burning mode, isn't that just a bloody massacre?
Wang Xin followed the original route and made a desperate effort.
His current state is: spend as much money as possible in the account!
He knew Zhang Tao very well. He was a very suspicious person and knew that this move of his could confuse him.
The development of events seemed to be in line with Cheng Zhu's prediction once again.
It seems like Mi Tuan is really going to have a decisive battle.
"Spending money at this rate is like risking one's life!" Zhang Tao was speechless.
[Comment] I have calculated that with MiTuan’s current momentum, it will burn at least 100 million US dollars a month!
Yes, this is still the base!
Now, it has been a while since the last round of financing.
"According to the rate Wang Xin is burning money, how long can he last? At best he can only last until the end of October, right?" Zhang Tao was very confused.
"【Comment】It would be a bit too much if I just follow the trend," he thought.
The reason why Dianping has been able to survive until now among a large number of group buying forces is purely because it was established early and has accumulated a lot of merchant information in the early stage, which gives it a huge natural advantage.
His company takes a different route from Mituan.
Mi Tuan has too many people under his command, including countless field sales staff, each of whom is experienced and a veteran.
Their market share in small cities can be said to be firmly in their hands and unbreakable!
Once we start spending money on a large scale now, it will spread like wildfire!
[Comment] The only advantage is having a good father, with constant traffic and cash support from Penguin Dad!
The reason why Zhang Tao dared to be so arrogant in the past and ignored Wang Xin’s request to merge the two companies was because the other party did not have a good father and Ali, his godfather, was not strong enough.
——Hehe, I’m bullying you because you don’t have a father who loves you!
But now he was a little confused.
"Wang Xin is a very steady person."
"There must be something fishy going on here!"
"Could it be that Alibaba has no grudges at all and will continue to provide him with a steady stream of cash support?!"
At this moment, Zhang Tao began to panic.
(ps: There will be fewer updates today. My wife is suddenly unwell and I am accompanying her to the emergency room.
Ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month.)
