Chapter 19: The Social Death After Staying Up All Night
Lu Yusheng glanced at the time without much hope, and sure enough, it was already 5:15.
I couldn't help but pinch myself: "Damn it, how could I be so lazy? It's worth staying up all night just to play a simple simulation game?!"
Then she immediately wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and jumped back onto the bed, forcing herself to close her eyes and start counting sheep.
Her hard-earned habit of going to bed early and waking up early after transmigrating was suddenly broken; this game only knew how to seduce her.
Lu Yusheng quickly counted from one sheep to forty sheep, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible, but the more he wanted to sleep, the more excited he became, his heart pounding and his presence felt extremely strong.
"Ugh, so annoying."
She could only struggle to sit up and decided to use the oldest and most effective way to help her sleep.
Lu Yusheng sat back down at his computer desk, took out paper and pen, and began writing furiously.
As he wrote, he murmured, "Hmm, let me think about the hope and promises the system brought yesterday, summarize and organize them, and write down the plan for the next stage."
Then I quickly got into the zone—
First of all, the store's sales volume will not be high in the short term.
Putting aside the issue of customer traffic, the store's resources couldn't support serving too many customers at the same time. Furthermore, she realized that most ordinary people's thinking wasn't as flexible and adaptable as she had imagined, and it would be terrible if she were treated like a monster.
We can only focus on retaining existing customers while seeking out high-potential, high-quality clients; the road to development is truly long.
Lu Yusheng thought helplessly, "Why don't we just start implementing the Six Sigma management system directly?"
I still need to consider whether to accept the investment... Forget it, she ruthlessly crossed that out. It's quite worry-free to manage it alone now. Adding people would just make me tired of the good old days.
With the help of dopamine, she quickly wrote a full page of analysis and planning.
But similarly, this trick is indeed the universal formula for falling asleep that has supported her from school to graduation and work, and it has never failed her.
As he watched the square characters gradually turn into circles, and his eyelids grew heavier, Lu Yusheng knew that an opportunity had arrived.
It's already past five o'clock, and I probably won't be able to get up in the morning. When I'm alone, I can just lie down and relax, but unfortunately there are other people in the store now.
Thinking back to the business plans she had just painstakingly written, she rubbed her temples and, with her last ounce of willpower, walked out of the room.
There was no other way; to continue developing, she had to maintain good relationships with existing clients. Having just recalled the knowledge she used at work, she was now incredibly strong.
At this moment, drowsiness gradually began to invade Lu Yusheng's brain. She regretted not coming over first to make arrangements here, but she still forced herself to stay awake and wrote a note, which she then placed on the door of Hua Manlou's room.
After doing all this, Lu Yusheng felt his vision blurring.
I don't know why, but I wasn't sleepy at all when I was lying in bed after being so excited. Now I'm feeling sleepy, and even the floor outside the room where Hua Manlou is staying looks like it would be a good place to sleep.
However, she managed to resist the urge to collapse, dragged herself back to her room, leaned back, lay down on the soft bed, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
In the quiet room, Hua Manlou slowly sat up.
He had already sensed Lu Yusheng's approaching footsteps, but he had a good impression of the girl and assumed that she was not coming with any ill intentions, so he remained silent and did not disturb her.
Hearing that she had returned to her room, he got up, put on his shoes, and went straight to the door.
Hua Manlou remembered hearing Lu Yusheng put something down outside the door, so he bent down and felt around for a bit.
Soon, he held a small piece of paper in his hand.
The note clearly stated—
[Sorry, I overdid it and am only now going to bed. I didn't have time to make breakfast, so I just left some fruit on the table. Please make do with that. I'll cook you a big meal this afternoon.]
Hua Manlou examined the note thoroughly and couldn't help but chuckle.
This is just an ordinary piece of paper, and there's an ordinary pen on it... No Braille is used, and the writing isn't like charcoal writing, which would slightly protrude from the paper.
It had been a long time since anyone had communicated with him using such unprocessed language. Hua Manlou could guess that this little girl had obviously forgotten that he was blind.
However, he didn't show any anger or anything like that; he just silently went back to his room, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.
——————
Fortunately, Lu Yusheng didn't sleep for too long. She set an alarm before going to bed and only gave herself five hours to catch up on sleep.
However, those five hours were enough. When she opened her eyes again, she felt full of energy and refreshed.
As I walked downstairs, I passed by Hua Manlou's room. Although the door was closed, the paper and pen that had been placed outside his door were gone.
While Lu Yusheng felt relieved, she couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. However, having just woken up and having overworked her brain before bed, she couldn't immediately pinpoint the source of her strange feeling.
Then, walking downstairs, I saw Hua Manlou sitting at the table drinking tea.
So he immediately greeted him warmly: "Good morning, Mr. Hua."
When Hua Manlou woke up in the morning and didn't see Lu Yusheng, he roughly guessed what she wanted to leave a message about.
I wanted to ask why it was so late, but I was worried that my words might sound reproachful, so I refrained from doing so.
The final response was a greeting tinged with a faint smile.
Good morning.
Lu Yusheng sat down opposite him and poured himself a cup of tea. After that, the two remained silent for a while.
With guests present, she felt awkward playing games directly. Hua Manlou was also a very patient person. In this eerie silence, Lu Yusheng felt his excitement gradually subside.
She began to feel her eyelids getting heavy again.
Hua Manlou seemed to sense something was wrong. His good upbringing made him resist the urge to ask, but even with his keen senses, he could tell that something was wrong when he heard her yawn for the fifth time.
"Didn't Miss Lu get enough rest yesterday?" He couldn't help but ask with concern.
Lu Yusheng looked puzzled and said blankly, "I remember leaving a note... Didn't you see it... Oh, wait..."
She suddenly realized something, and the words she hadn't been able to say caught in her throat.
Damn it, this is hellish. I'm so embarrassed I want to crawl under the table to calm down.
Writing notes to blind people really shows I can't stay up all night anymore.
The once comfortable chair now felt like it was nailed to the floor. She sprang out of her seat, and the phrase "My butt's on fire!" popped into her head.
When he finally left, all he said was a very helpless sentence: "I'll go prepare lunch."
Hua Manlou didn't feel offended at all, especially since he heard that Lu Yu had reached such a level and he still had to cook for him, which made his heart soften even more.
He quickly persuaded her, saying, "I've already contacted a restaurant in the city. Miss Lu, how about you join me today to sample some Jiangnan cuisine? I imagine you're new here and haven't had a chance to try the local Hangzhou dishes yet?"
On the other side, Lu Yusheng, who seemed to have been given a slowing buff, was stunned for several seconds before realizing that her "God" had granted her a pardon.
...Don't do that, I feel so guilty right now, especially if you don't let me do anything.
However, what he said was true. It had been a while since he had traveled through time, and Lu Yusheng had never actually eaten any local cuisine.
For a moment, she was tempted but also a little guilty. Just as she was about to say something polite, she heard the male voice on the other end say with a smile, "Miss Lu must have been busy with something last night and missed your rest."
She almost blurted out, "I've been busy searching all night for the murderer who usurped the throne."
He then coughed twice and gave a soft "hmm".
Then he quickly changed the subject, saying, "There are fruit trees over there, I'll go pick some for you to eat."
This time, Hua Manlou was unable to stop her, and a quarter of an hour later, he heard the familiar footsteps again.
Lu Yusheng held the wild fruits he had washed by the stream, carefully took out a larger plate, put them in it, and then handed them all to Hua Manlou.
The latter was clearly overwhelmed by her enthusiasm. Remembering that she had been worried about something last night, he took the initiative to say, "Miss Lu, have you encountered any difficulties? You don't have to be like this. You can just tell me directly. As long as it's within my ability, I will try my best to help you."
