Chapter 81 Extra 1
After the wedding banquet, Zhou Qingti and Lu Yanzhi's life returned to peace, but under such peace it seemed that there was a lot of love hidden.
Happiness and love are hidden in every minute of every day, just like an ordinary couple in the world.
Lu Yanzhi goes shopping at the supermarket every Saturday. He picks up Zhou Qingti from the store and then drives to the mall together. Every time, his cart is full.
It was just that Lu Yanzhi, who always bought vegetables, fruits and meat in the past, suddenly remembered the location of the snack area, and could even always find the dried fruit snacks that Zhou Qingti wanted to eat before her.
There was a cool breeze outside. Lu Yan subconsciously looked at Zhou Qingti, but Zhou Qingti asked first, "Are you cold?"
“Isn’t it cold…”
The two smiled at each other, and Zhou Qingti held his hand tightly, "It's not cold at all."
There was a thin light blue sky and a faint sun. Although the surroundings were so noisy, Lu Yanzhi felt that the empty valley in his heart seemed to be filled silently.
He heard the wind blowing through the leaves, and heard Zhou Qingti take a deep breath and then let out a contented sigh.
The tip of her nose turned red, but she smiled at him: "This winter is so nice."
Yes, that’s great. His mother finally let go of this land. After staying in City G for three days, she took Bronson to travel to Beijing.
It happened to be the peak period for work after the New Year. Apart from the traffic jams, there were not that many people at the tourist attractions. However, for Bronson, a foreigner, there were still too many people.
After visiting Beijing, Song Zhi took Bronson to Yunnan and Hainan. The flight took them from cold wind to spring. Bronson exclaimed, "China is amazing."
He has learned quite a bit of Chinese. When Song Zhi and Lu Yanzhi were video chatting, he would ask, "Have you eaten?" and "Your mother is so beautiful." These were the kind of things that made people laugh and cry.
There are two motionless little turtles in the small fish tank at home. The indoor temperature is high, so they do not hibernate. The succulents are also growing well on the balcony.
"When the weather gets warmer, we'll go on our honeymoon. We'll go to an island to watch the sunrise, go to Spain to see the Colosseum, and go to Santorini to watch the sunset."
Zhou Qingti lay on the sofa, looking up at him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my wife." She must have been seduced by the scenery video Song Zhi sent her.
"Lu Yanzhi, it seems like I've become a hedonist after being with you."
Lu Yanzhi squeezed her shoulders with both hands: "Isn't it good to enjoy yourself? I'm glad that I have the capital to let you enjoy yourself."
Zhou Qingti enjoyed his massage with just the right amount of force: "Very good, I'll use your card from now on."
Time spent enjoying oneself always passes quickly. In early March, the magnolia tree in the yard of the Lu family's old house finally bloomed, and the willow trees in the corner of the yard also sprouted.
The weather in G City in March is dry and sunny, with blue sky and white clouds. It is such clear and bright weather, which is a rare good weather.
Old Mrs. Lu called her and asked her to go appreciate the flowers.
The magnolia flowers seemed to have bloomed overnight, although they were still shy buds yesterday.
Just that night of spring breeze, the dry and strong branches were covered with white flowers, and the yard was filled with fragrance.
The peach blossoms are also in bloom, and the branches are full of pink and white flowers.
The winter jasmine flowers beside the pavilion were also in bloom, with tender yellow petals. Zhou Qingti asked Lu Yanzhi, "Is this the little yellow flower from the story?"
Lu Yanzhi smiled: "Do you want a swing?"
Mrs. Lu was confused when she heard them talking: "What kind of story is this about a swing? It doesn't make sense."
It's Jay Chou's "Sunny Day"
The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year of birth
The swings of childhood are still swinging with my memory
Playing the prelude and looking at the sky
I think of petals trying to fall...
On weekends, Zhou Qingti would sit on the lazy sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, basking in the sun and reading suspense novels.
Lu Yanzhi would copy a calligraphy piece on the side and occasionally open his piano.
Under the warm sun, spring passes so slowly and gently.
Lu Yanzhi would sometimes play Jay Chou's songs for her, and Zhou Qingti would hum along. She always particularly liked watching him play the piano, as if it were a spring day.
Sometimes I would go on a spring outing with friends. We would set up the tent, lie on the lounge chairs, and let the wind carrying the fragrance of flowers blow past them.
Zhou Qingti held a coconut and drank coconut juice, and Lu Yanzhi gave her a flower cake.
Lin Miao also came with Xiao Fu, who invited them to his pub for a drink when they had time.
Such leisurely days only happen on weekends, because Lu Yanzhi has to arrange a lot of work matters because he is planning to travel to the island.
He even went on a business trip for two days, but Zhou Qingti felt it was okay, after all, his presence was still at home.
Lu Yanzhi was reluctant, and wanted to sleep with her on the phone at night: "I'll go on long-distance business trips from now on."
Zhou Qingti found it funny: "You are the boss, you have the final say."
"But work is important. I can go with you later and treat it as a trip."
Lu Yanzhi's eyes lit up: "Okay."
I've been waiting for her to say this for a long time.
Zhou Qingti didn't go this time because her T cake was going to open two branches.
One of them is located in the wealthy area of City G and mainly produces high-end dessert lines.
One of them was located in the old city. She also asked Xiao Li which one he wanted to invest in, saying that high-end ones required large investments but lacked certainty in the later stages.
Ordinary ones still operate in the old way, with small investments, but the income is definitely not much either, so they take a steady route.
Xiao Li thought about it for two days and decided to go the high-end route. Then she would have to go for training to learn how to make mirror-like products and some desserts that looked very expensive.
Zhou Qingti has already started designing and has also found a high-end Western pastry baker.
Lu Yanzhi had such connections in the hotel and introduced two of them to her.
Since the brand is going for a high-end approach, everything from the name to the logo and packaging needs to be updated.
If you want to make money from rich people, you have to look expensive and make them feel that it is worth the price at first glance.
Recently, Zhou Qingti has been busier than Lu Yanzhi and often has no time to have lunch with her. He is either looking at samples or communicating with designers.
The name of the new store is simpler, with a capital letter T and a simple cake pattern behind it, which was drawn by Lu Yanzhi for her.
The main color is white, the soft furnishings are natural wood color, and the dining plates are imported from Italy.
Basically every scene is a check-in area, and the socialites' afternoon tea is composed of beautiful desserts, beautiful backgrounds, and beautiful people.
Zhou Qingti also plans to hire a few store clerks who are good at photography, so that when customers need it, he can help them produce photos for free.
In the evening, Zhou Qingti turned the laptop screen towards him and asked, "Which packaging bag do you think looks good?"
Lu Yanzhi looked at the three designs carefully and finally chose the second one. A green stick figure cake occupied the center of the white paper bag, and the letter T was printed inside the cake pattern.
“This best suits the decoration style of your store.”
Zhou Qingti took back the computer: "Okay, I'll listen to you." He typed on the keyboard, and decided on the style with the designer, and it was time to make the pattern and start production.
After finishing the work, Zhou Qingti frowned and said to Lu Yanzhi anxiously, "With such a large initial investment, I'm really afraid of losing money. Besides, Xiao Li is also working with me on the high-end line. This is only my first time, and I'm afraid I'll mess it up. She owns 30% of the shares."
What she said was a little incoherent, and her anxiety was real, although with her current financial resources she could afford to lose it all.
But failure would be a huge blow to her mentally, and an even bigger blow to Xiao Li, so she was quite anxious.
Lu Yanzhi held her hand and said, "Don't worry. If that doesn't work, you can invite those wealthy ladies and celebrities. They are very capable of bringing in goods. Keeping one person is equivalent to keeping an entire circle."
She also has such a huge invisible resource as Lu Yanzhi. When the time comes, when the name of Mrs. Lu Yanzhi's dessert shop is spread out, many people will come to support it.
But Zhou Qingti doesn't want to rely on this. She hopes that people will come to her place if they really like her.
