Chapter 154 Store Decoration, Seed Research Society
With Zhang Wanwan's gestures, the two workers roughly understood her requirements. Because color matching takes time, Zhang Wanwan had to stay and wait until the workers mixed a color that satisfied her before leaving.
On Tuesday, Zhang Wanwan was still busy as she had no classes in the afternoon. She simply went to the second-hand market and bought four flower racks, several stair-like racks, a small counter, and a rattan chair with a backrest. The workers in the store were still working, so she could paint all these things together after transporting them over. It cost her another 6,000 yuan to buy these things. Together with the workers' wages, she has now invested more than 10,000 yuan in this store.
On Friday, two workers finally finished decorating Zhang Wanwan's flower shop. Even the small LED lights were hung up and all the shelves were placed in designated locations according to Zhang Wanwan's requirements. The custom-made wrought iron shop name sign was also locked next to the store by the workers. On it were four large characters formed by simple lace. The characters "Xiao Zhang Flower House" were hollowed out, and there were some small decorations of flowers and plants on it, inlaid with a circle of lamps. When the lights were turned on at night, the four large characters were extremely eye-catching.
The newly renovated store still has some smell. Zhang Wanwan plans to open the store after National Day, so she can take this opportunity to let the smell get rid of the store.
When Zhang Wanwan finished her work in the store and returned to the dormitory, she happened to hear her roommates discussing buying tickets to go home for the National Day holiday.
Kong Rou grabbed her collar and asked, "Sister, are you going home for National Day?"
Zhang Wanwan nodded affirmatively, "If I don't go back, my parents will come and kill me! I've already made an agreement with my brother that I will go with him when the time comes."
"That's great. Others have brothers, but why don't I have such a caring brother?" Yu Yunfei grumbled aggrievedly, lying on the bed and throwing a wink at Zhang Wanwan from time to time, full of resentment. "You said you are so busy now that you can't even see your shadow! I heard that your seed research club has started club activities, did you know?"
Zhang Wanwan stood up in shock. "When did this happen? I didn't receive any notification!"
Yu Yunfei looked confused. "Could it be that they missed you? That doesn't make sense. There are always a few people in that club. It's rare that they accepted someone as talented as you. How could they miss you?"
Zhang Wanwan: “.” Knowing that she couldn’t get anything out of Yu Yunfei, Zhang Wanwan simply took out her cell phone and opened QQ. Only then did she realize that she had set the group message to do not disturb. No wonder she didn’t know anything about this.
"How is it?" Yu Yunfei curiously stuck her head out from the edge of the bed.
Zhang Wanwan nodded silently, "That's true. Fortunately, the event is tomorrow and I won't be absent. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I can go and take a look. What about you? What are you planning to do? Are you going on a day trip to Beijing?"
Song Lijun shook her head. "The student union has something for us to help out with tomorrow."
Wu Ruoling nodded in agreement, "I guess I'll have to go to the Student Union every weekend from now on. It's all about chores, but I can't not do it."
"I want to go to the girls' club too. The school has a freshman cultural evening on Christmas. Qin Shu will be performing and we have to dance with her. We have to practice every weekend." Yu Yunfei sighed. She wanted to go out and have fun. She had been in Beijing for so long and had never been far away! ''
Zhang Wanwan looked at Kong Rou, who crossed her arms and said like a big sister, "Don't look at me. You all are going to the club, so I must be going to the club too. I just don't like those boys, so I'll go over and fight with them this weekend!"
Zhang Wanwan trembled and quickly ran away with her toiletries.
The next day, she followed the address in the group to find the so-called Seed Research Society. She discovered that the Seed Research Society was in a classroom at the back of the old teaching building, close to the garden. They seemed to have also enclosed a piece of land in the garden for research, but it was not very big. When Zhang Wanwan was walking around, she saw someone holding up a wooden sign in the flower garden that read "Social Research, Please Do Not Touch."
She smiled and felt that this seed research society seemed to have some substance, unlike some other clubs which wrote very exaggerated content when recruiting new members, but only realized after joining that it was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. Every club activity was just about eating, drinking and gossiping, and they never did any serious work. If they quit the club without a very urgent reason, they would offend seniors. It was simply a pitfall.
Zhang Wanwan found the door of the club and gently pushed it open. Looking around, the lighting in the room was not very good, with the incandescent light still on. There were some potted plants inside, and in the middle was a large table made up of several tables. It seemed that everyone usually gathered around this table. There were already three people inside, two men and one woman.
When they saw Zhang Wanwan, they all stood up, their eyes shining brightly.
"Hello," Zhang Wanwan greeted politely and walked in hesitantly.
"Welcome, junior sister!" The three of them cheered in unison, which scared Zhang Wanwan.
The leading girl ran over and pulled her to sit down. "Come on, let me introduce myself. I'm the president of the Seed Research Society, Luo Guanjing. This gentle man is Ye Jing, and this sunny and handsome guy is Xia Mu. I'm a junior, and they're all sophomores. From now on, we'll all belong to the same club, so we should get along well! Now I declare that the club activities begin!"
"Huh? Is there no one here?" Zhang Wanwan looked surprised.
Luo Guanjing's face flashed with embarrassment, and she smiled awkwardly: "Well, that's because our club is not as lively as other clubs, and the content is relatively boring, so not many people come."
After saying this, Luo Guanjing felt guilty. It wasn't that there weren't many people, it was that there was no one at all! If they hadn't recruited Zhang Wanwan this year, their club would probably have closed down.
Perhaps because she was afraid that Zhang Wanwan, the only one left, would run away, Luo Guanjing hurriedly said, "Xiaoxuemei, don't look at the small number of people in our club. Our club used to be a big club, but the seniors all graduated and went to do research. The people behind us failed because of poor management. You have to believe that as long as we persist, we will be able to revive the club's former glory!"
"Yes, yes, junior sister, don't underestimate our club because we have few members. We actually have instructors! They are all senior professors from the College of Agriculture. It's just that they are very busy and don't have much time to supervise us. However, if we have any questions, we can go directly to the professors and they are happy to help us answer them. Also, our club can get a batch of seeds from the laboratory every semester. There are all kinds of seeds. We even got an ancient lotus there before!" Xia Mu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jing kicked him, "Xiaoxuemei, even though you gave us the ancient lotus, we couldn't figure it out, so we gave it back."
