Chapter 593 Yiyi's Fall
It's a cloudy day today.
The weather forecast shows cloudy with occasional rain.
After Cheng Zhu finished calling the driver Xiao Wang, he looked up at the gray sky.
“It feels like the fireworks need to be set off a little earlier.”
"Who knows, it might suddenly start raining at any time." Cheng Zhu thought.
A little drizzle does not affect the fireworks.
But if it rains heavily, it will be troublesome.
The fireworks that Cheng Zhu asked Xiao Wang to prepare were not ordinary stuff.
The main ones are [A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains] and [Dingwangtai].
As well as [Blue Charm] and [Golden Mountain in the Sunlight] which many girls prefer.
The price of these fireworks is several times that of ordinary fireworks, and they are considered the Hermes of fireworks.
Even if they are set off during the day, the effect will be explosive.
The driver Xiao Wang was a little dumbfounded when he bought it.
"One firework like this is worth a month's salary for an average person, or even more than many people's monthly salary."
"It will be gone after a few explosions!" he thought.
What’s even more exaggerated is that Mr. Cheng prepared a total of 18 boxes of fireworks.
If you add all the prices together, it's really outrageous.
Xiao Wang also didn't know what Mr. Cheng was going to do tonight.
You can't possibly appreciate it together with Mr. Zhang Xuhao, right?
He was a little curious. What would the effect be when such expensive fireworks exploded?
It’s a pity that he is destined to have no chance to appreciate it.
At this moment, Zhang Xuhao walked out of the restaurant and Cheng Zhu saw him off to the car.
"Zhu, I think the merchant red envelope you mentioned can be set a little higher. Why is the limit set so low?" Haozi asked.
“No reason. I think it’s better not to get too inward-looking. Be careful of the backlash later.” Cheng Zhu said.
The food delivery platform is closely related to our daily life.
Now, the platform is still in the stage of burning money and giving subsidies crazily.
But a few years later, the platform became the daddy of the merchants, taking all kinds of deductions, organizing all kinds of activities, selling traffic, and forcing the merchants to compete internally.
Well, Wang Xin is really good at this.
Moreover, they always like to shift the conflicts among multiple parties. It is obviously all the platform's fault, but in the end they either blame it on the merchants, the customers, or the delivery guys.
For example, customers have low quality and are inconsiderate to the hard-working delivery guys.
But in fact, it can be said that the platform is making money from multiple parties. It takes money from each party, but it just wants to remain invisible.
It is true that the booming food delivery industry has brought great convenience to ordinary people, allowing them to eat what they want without leaving their homes.
However, this also has a reverse effect, which will definitely squeeze offline businesses and take a large part of them away from online businesses.
Some small businesses have no choice but to do offline business only. It is not enough. They must also take online business into consideration as well.
If you try to balance both, you will be exploited madly by the platform.
Once the platform exploits too harshly, many legitimate stores will actually be unable to make any profit.
The advantages of pre-prepared meals and junk takeout will become more and more prominent.
The phenomenon of bad money driving out good money will also occur.
But, remember.
——Food is the first necessity of people!
Cheng Zhu also didn't know how the future would develop.
But he feels that he still has to shoulder some social responsibility.
This will save me from being scolded every day and being told that I should be hanged under a street lamp!
At the same time, don't set yourself up for disaster, right?
What if this bomb explodes in the future?
You won’t even know how you died by then!
After seeing Zhang Xuhao off, Cheng Zhu got into his own Land Rover Range Rover.
He didn't drink a drop of wine at dinner today.
He glanced at the time. It was still early, just a little after eight o'clock.
However, it takes about twenty minutes to drive from here to Communication University.
Then, it’s another long drive from the Communication University to the B&B on the extremely remote mountain.
Of course, the homestay that Cheng Zhu booked was not the one that Class 2 of the Computer Science Department went to during their autumn outing.
The quality of that B&B is not very high and it is troublesome to book the whole place.
It mainly carries some shared memories between him and his counselor.
Given his personality, he wouldn't repeat the same location.
"Otherwise it would seem so disrespectful?" Cheng Zhu thought.
“I have always respected women.”
How is this not considered a manly virtue?
Cheng Zhu took out his cell phone and started sending WeChat messages to Meng Yiyi.
"I'm done here," he typed.
This happened much earlier than Yiyi had expected.
She is putting on makeup in the dormitory now.
"Brother Cheng Zhu, are you coming over now?" she asked.
"Yes, about twenty minutes." Cheng Zhu replied.
"Okay."
She put down her phone and began to speed up her makeup.
Originally, she thought Cheng Zhu would come to pick her up at supper time.
I didn't expect it to be so early.
She deliberately started putting on makeup at eight o'clock, so that the makeup would look its best around ten o'clock.
It not only looks natural and fits well, but also won't produce oil, cake, or come off.
Especially for someone like her who wears fake natural makeup, all she wants is a clear and transparent look!
Chen Qianhui was sitting on a chair playing games. After finishing a game, she turned her head to look at Yiyi and gossiped, "This is the first time I see you putting on makeup so seriously. Yiyi, are you going on a date?"
In the past, it was normal for her to go out without makeup at school.
Because Yiyi's skin condition is so good, she only needs to apply some sunscreen like Anessa which has a skin-beautifying effect, and she doesn't need to wear any makeup at all.
In fact, some boys use sunscreen as a makeup remover.
You thought he was just afraid of getting tanned, but actually he was cheating behind his brothers' backs!
Yiyi patted loose powder on her face and said with a smile: "I won't tell you!"
She didn't mind at all that Chen Qianhui spread some gossip about herself, so as to avoid being harassed by those male classmates via WeChat.
"Oh~~~~" Chen Qianhui immediately made a booing sound.
Yiyi stopped revealing any information at this moment, leaving it to her own imagination.
After putting on makeup, she remained the same as usual, tying her long hair into a simple ponytail.
Because she is pure and clean, she actually looks unique with twin ponytails.
In her previous life, when Cheng Zhu played with her like this, Yiyi was already quite old.
But because she looks naturally young, even with two ponytails, there is still no sense of incongruity.
I saw her open the wardrobe and take out a white dress that just reached her knees.
The style of the skirt is very plain, but it looks good on her.
Chen Qianhui was quite enthusiastic and said, "Yiyi, your skirt is quite revealing above your chest. I think you should wear a necklace with it. Do you want to try mine?"
The innocent little white flower looked down and felt that what she said made sense.
But she actually has a good sense of propriety and doesn't like to use other people's things, so she politely refused.
Although Cheng Zhu told her that it would take him about 20 minutes to get to Communication University, Yiyi still went out early and planned to wait for him at the school gate.
She is a girl with a strong sense of time, and is rarely late, whether at work or in life.
Therefore, when the Land Rover Range Rover drove to the vicinity of the school, Yiyi was already waiting at the agreed pick-up location.
As soon as she got in the car, Cheng Zhu smelled a faint fragrance.
The scent is not strong, and it is probably not a perfume.
"Brother Cheng Zhu." The innocent little white flower greeted with a smile in her soft voice.
"Well, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"No, just two or three minutes," she replied.
Cheng Zhu nodded slightly and said, "Shall we set off?"
"Well, Brother Cheng Zhu, where are we going?" Yiyi was a little curious.
"Let's go to a B&B on the mountain." Cheng Zhu smiled, turned to look at her, and asked, "Will you be afraid to go?"
"Minmin Hotel?" The girl looked at him in surprise, then didn't dare to look him in the eye, her heartbeat began to speed up.
"Haha, don't think too much. It's just that didn't I say that day that I would provide you with one-stop service, so I need a venue." Cheng Zhu explained.
"Besides, that B&B is a stand-alone building. I just booked a room," he added.
After all, Yiyi was still an innocent minor at the moment. The more she listened to his detailed explanation, the shyer she became, and her heart beat faster.
In the end, she just nodded panickily.
Along the way, she looked out the window and began to have some wild thoughts.
The location of the B&B is very remote, it is no exaggeration to say that it is in the middle of nowhere.
But many high-end B&Bs like to open in such strange but unique places.
There are four mountain view villas on this mountain, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows are the woods.
Many internet celebrities come here to check in and take photos.
The villas are quite far apart and the nightly fees are extremely high.
The car stopped in front of Linjing Villa. Yiyi looked at this uniquely shaped mountain villa and was completely attracted.
Its design style is quite modern, and there is a separate swimming pool at the back.
After getting off the car, the two stood outside. Cheng Zhu smiled and asked, "How is it? The place I arranged for your birthday party is not bad, right?"
"Well, it's such a big place, and there are only two of us. It feels so luxurious." Yiyi nodded and sighed.
"Why, do you feel it's too lonely just the two of us? Do you want to call some more people?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"Ah? I, that's not what I meant."
If two people continue talking about this topic, it will only become more ambiguous.
But Cheng Zhu had no intention of continuing the conversation. Instead, he looked up and pointed towards the distance.
"In fact, the last day of every month here is always very lively." He glanced at Yiyi and motioned for her to look in the direction he pointed: "Do you see that?"
"Well, is there anything over there?" asked the innocent little white flower.
The dog man started to cheat people of all sizes everywhere.
"Right there, at the end of every month, there will be a small fireworks show, which is a special service provided to the guests of the four B&Bs."
"Really? There can be a fireworks show here?" Yiyi immediately showed his curiosity.
Cheng Zhu thought to himself: Of course it’s fake.
But the dog man said, "Yes, so although the room rate here is not low, it is always difficult to book on the last day of the month. This is one of their selling points."
Yiyi listened at the side, nodded frequently, and said, "It's quite attractive."
"That's a pity. It's the 11th, not October 31st. It seems that you like fireworks very much?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"Well, I like fireworks very, very, very much!" Her answer was exactly the same as in her previous life, word for word.
"Is it played often?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"I let it go several times when I was a child, but I haven't let it go in recent years," she replied.
Fireworks are actually a bit of a luxury.
And if you just buy those small fireworks that only have a few shots, it won’t be fun to set them off.
But if you want to have fun, you have to spend a lot of money.
"You have to tell me three verys. Do you like fireworks so much?" Cheng Zhu smiled and brought the topic back to Yi Yi's previous sentence.
"Yeah!" The pure little white flower nodded.
"Why?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"Because it's beautiful, and it will disappear in a moment. This kind of fleeting beauty makes you want to remember it with all your strength." Meng Yiyi replied.
"Then do you want to go and see the corpse of Fireworks?" the dog man began to guide.
"Corpse, what does that mean?" Yiyi didn't understand.
"It's just the fireworks that have been set off." Cheng Zhuyi spread his hands.
He pointed in the direction he had just pointed and said, "Didn't I tell you that there will be a fireworks show here at the end of the month? The fireworks will be piled up together, and the more they accumulate, the more spectacular it will be. It can be considered a check-in spot here."
"all right!"
"Let's go, I'll go over and take a picture of you."
"Well, actually... actually I don't really like taking photos. I feel like I can't pose in front of the camera." Yiyi said with his head down.
"Huh? Then why do you like to take pictures of me so much?" Cheng Zhu started to talk about what happened at the concert.
“Well! Then taking pictures of others will be different.” Yiyi replied.
The dog man smiled and remembered the bunch of photos in Yi Yi’s mobile phone album in his previous life.
She liked to take secret photos of Cheng Zhu, with only half of her face or one hand in the frame, making a "yeah" gesture in the picture.
Naturally, these photos cannot be shown to friends or others.
But she would also be satisfied if she kept it for herself.
The two of them walked to the left.
The forest path was a little dark, so Cheng Zhu turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone.
"Be careful." He reminded Yiyi and signaled her to watch her step when walking at night.
"Yeah." The pure little white flower nodded.
If it was her cousin, she would have taken the opportunity to hold her hand by now.
The dog man walked in front and said, "How about this, on the 31st of this month, let's drive over to the side to watch the fireworks?"
"We don't rent a villa, we just drive to a nearby place and get a free ride!"
"How about watching it in the car?" he said deliberately.
Upon hearing this, the innocent little white flower immediately said, "Okay!"
Naturally, she would love to have more opportunities to be alone with Brother Cheng Zhu.
What's more, she could watch her favorite fireworks show.
They walked forward for four or five minutes and came to an open space.
There were 18 boxes of fireworks on the ground, not very close together.
Cheng Zhuyi bought a total of four types of fireworks, only three boxes of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and five boxes of the others.
For example, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is very large and it is difficult for one person to hold it.
"Hey, why is there only this little? There were a lot of them piled up before." Cheng Zhu stopped and looked at them from a distance with Yi Yi.
"And why does it look so weird?" The dog man started to act up again.
When Yiyi was about to reply, he had already spoken: "Yiyi, stand here, I'll go over and take a look."
The innocent little white flower was stunned for a moment, then saw Cheng Zhu jogging over.
He squatted down, seemingly checking, but in fact he was looking for the fuse with a lighter.
"Let's release [Sunshine on Golden Mountain] first. It looks quite shocking when it is released suddenly." Cheng Zhu made the decision and turned on the lighter.
The fuse was lit immediately.
Cheng Zhu quickly ran towards where Yi Yi was standing, saying, "Fuck! This shit hasn't been released yet!"
When the girl heard this, she saw the burning fuse and the fire in the darkness.
"ah"
Everything happened so suddenly and she was not mentally prepared.
As we all know, setting off fireworks actually requires some mental preparation, because these things are so damn loud.
Just when the innocent little white flower was stunned, fireworks shot up into the sky!
She only saw Cheng Zhu running in front of her under the brilliant fireworks.
"If you want to see a fireworks show, you don't have to wait until the 31st. I'll get one for you and we can watch it right away."
