Shen Minglang was taken aback for a moment before he caught the hint in Cheng Zhu’s words.
Then he joking said, “I’ve been particularly annoyed by Jiang Wanzhou again recently, what should I do?”
“No way, I can’t bear to trap him like that,” Cheng Zhu firmly stated.
— Protect our best Little President Jiang!
Speaking of which, in Cheng Zhu’s memory, after Jiang Wanzhou graduated from college, he also started his own business and did quite well.
But there’s an old saying, together they are a pile of shit, but apart they are both awesome.
The two of them, probably clashing in personality, not suited to do business together.
Once they partnered, many things would go wrong.
“By the way, how’s the bar business going recently?” Cheng Zhu asked, showing concern.
“Sigh, it’s terribly bad, Ye Zi even resigned,” Shen Minglang replied.
Cheng Zhu: “…”
Do I not know she resigned?
She’s working for me now!
This matter, there was no need to hide it from Shen Minglang eventually, but better not say anything just yet.
His bar was already planning to dismiss a bartender, and Ye Zi took the initiative to leave.
But her seamlessly joining him felt like poaching.
Perhaps because [Youu Come to Play] was transferring, and combined with the truly bad state of the bar business, Shen Minglang even said, “I’m even thinking about selling the place.”
“If it keeps losing money, you might want to consider that sooner,” Cheng Zhu said directly.
Profitable bars are indeed rare.
Especially for someone like him who entered the business halfway.
Many small bars are started by people who had been in the nightlife business, saved some money, then partnered up to open their spots.
These people already understand the business and have their client bases, so naturally, it’s much easier to get started.
And such people can let go of their pride; though shareholders, they would mingle and flatter the patrons.
But Boss Shen couldn’t let go of his pride.
Even friends who hang out with him might only come by occasionally.
Because this place, just isn’t as good with service or as fun as other bars!
Cheng Zhu had a class that afternoon and was chatting with Shen Minglang during it.
After class, he drove the Land Rover Lin Lu lent him and headed to the [Persistent Visit] studio.
When he arrived, Wang Anquan had just got there too, waiting for him at the first-floor entrance.
Seeing Cheng Zhu step out of the Land Rover, Wang Anquan’s eyes widened, and he quickly jogged over, touching the car door.
“Holy shit! Brother Zhu, did you buy a Land Rover?” Wang Anquan showed his envy.
These days, Land Rover holds a certain prestige among men, and much of that prestige owes to Teacher Zhang Jiayi.
“No, Lin Lu lent it to me,” Cheng Zhu clarified.
Wang Anquan: “…”
Damn, even more envious!
After going upstairs, Cheng Zhu made some personnel changes in the studio.
“Wang Anquan will now be in charge of overseas sales exclusively.”
“As for the Taobao store, Wang Haitao, you’ll be the team leader from now on.”
The domestic e-commerce price war was fierce.
Me, Cheng Zhu, a Chinese, won’t fight against my fellow Chinese!
He decided to spread the flames of the price war overseas.
He planned to rely on his three main strategies for export.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
First, experienced operation and management.
Second, innovative styles.
Third, unmatched price advantage.
Joking aside, do you understand when I say our selling price is even lower than your cost price?
Taking labor costs as an example, factories in China definitely have the advantage.
So, Cheng Zhu decided to dive into a very grand venture.
As was widely said when the live streaming sales industry took off later:
“Cheng Zhu brought down the global prices of QQ underwear!”
…
…
The next day, in the afternoon, Cheng Zhu first drove to pick up Lin Lu, then they went together to her home interior design company.
The energetic girl had already arranged a meeting with a designer for him.
This designer was not the oldest or most famous in the company.
He was quite young, not even 30 years old yet, but had already designed several popular stores in Hang City.
“My surname is Xia, you can call me Xia Liang, or just Xia,” he introduced himself to Cheng Zhu.
Cheng Zhu could tell from his gaze that he was curious and inquisitive about him.
In fact, as Lin Lu brought him into the company, people they passed couldn’t help but sneak glances at him.
There wasn’t much choice, as almost everyone in the company knew that the boss had a very pretty and adorable daughter.
But today, this young lady had brought a young man to the company!
If his looks had been more average, people wouldn’t have thought much about it, taking him simply as a client the lady boss personally brought in.
But the problem was, he was tall and handsome, and was chatting and laughing with Lin Lu.
It was hard not to be curious about him!
On the way there, Cheng Zhu had asked her, “Are your parents at the company?”
“They’re not, they both have their things to take care of today,” Lin Lu answered.
So Cheng Zhu didn’t care much, completely at ease.
During his communication with Xia Liang, he felt that the designer did indeed have some substance.
He understood Cheng Zhu’s requirements immediately and grasped the effect Cheng Zhu wanted to achieve.
The designer also thought Cheng Zhu was quite trendy. After improvising what Cheng Zhu described, he felt the final design would not disappoint.
For a high-end popular milk tea shop, design is very important.
And do you think just interior design is enough?
Not at all.
There’s also the logo, milk tea cups, packaging bags, etc.
These all need to be designed, and the design fee isn’t as cheap as you might imagine.
Thus, Cheng Zhu spent over two hours in the design company talking with Xia Liang.
Lin Lu, listening on the side, didn’t find it boring; on the contrary, she found it quite interesting.
After sitting for a while, she lay her head on the table like she was napping at school, but instead of burying her head in her arms, she tilted her head and watched Cheng Zhu, who was enthusiastically talking.
After the initial communication, Xia Liang saw them out of the design company.
After getting into the car, Cheng Zhu asked, “Bored, huh?”
“Not really, I was quite intrigued listening on the side,” Lin Lu, sitting in the passenger seat, added: “I even imagined it a bit, and I think the store will definitely look great in photos!”
“The designer you chose is indeed very competent, I’m looking forward to the effect he’ll deliver,” Cheng Zhu praised as he drove.
“Pssh! You don’t see who selected him very carefully,” Lin Lu immediately boasted.
If she had a tail, it would probably be wagging up to the sky right now.
“Alright, alright, I’ll note your great contribution, my dear. What reward would you like from His Majesty?” Cheng Zhu said, laughing.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lu just lifted her chin, replying, “Not yet! I want to save it up!”
While driving, Cheng Zhu just quickly glanced at her.
It had to be said, this energetic girl really radiated an adorable aura from the inside out.
Just her tone of voice, along with her small movements and expressions, inexplicably made one want to pinch her little cheeks.
Saving it up?
You’re not planning to hold out for something big, are you?
…
…
The car soon arrived at the high-end apartment where Lin Lu and Shen Qingning lived together; they planned to have a meal together, then head to the beauty salon for skincare in the evening.
Previously, beauty salons primarily made money from middle-aged women.
Nowadays, many patrons might not even be 20 yet and could already be regulars at beauty salons.
But mostly, young girls only opted for basic skincare, their spending power still couldn’t match that of the middle-aged women.
After Lin Lu got out of the car, Cheng Zhu drove on to the East Building.
The game project was nearing its final stage.
But that didn’t mean that in a few days, “Sheep” would be ready to hit the market.
Once production was complete, there was still much work to be done.
Perhaps after some testing, changes would be needed.
After arriving at the studio, Wei Bo specifically stood up to report something to Cheng Zhu.
“Boss, Zhang Qiqi came by yesterday to ask about some details of our project,” he volunteered.
“You didn’t tell her, did you?”
“Of course not. I just thought I should let you know,” Wei Bo said frankly.
Cheng Zhu nodded slightly, guessing that Senior Sister Zhang had learned about the transfer of [Youu Come to Play] and had come to probe Wei Bo for information.
“It seems she’s quite interested,” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
After he sat down at his desk, it wasn’t long before he heard someone knocking on the door.
The front door was ajar, and a beautiful figure was standing beside it – it was Chen Jieyu, the nominal advisor for this game project.
The cold of autumn doesn’t creep in gradually; often, it hits suddenly.
In these past few days, the temperature in Hang City had plummeted quite a bit.
Chen Jieyu was wearing a white silk blouse with a light ladies’ blazer over it, switched to a longer skirt that covered half of her legs, and wore black tights underneath.
Her makeup and attire remained as meticulously workplace-appropriate as ever.
Just by looking at her, one wouldn’t notice anything different from everyday, despite what she had recently been through.
“I haven’t been here for a long time, just came to have a look,” she said, indicating as the advisor she just wanted to show up to make her presence felt.
Cheng Zhu then stood up and walked over to her, guessing why she might have come.
As expected, after staying a bit in the studio, she said to Cheng Zhu, “Can we talk outside for a moment?”
“Sure,” Cheng Zhu responded with a smile, and went out into the hallway with her.
As they left, he also casually closed the continuously open front door.
After closing it, he pointed ahead, saying, “Let’s talk over there.”
“Okay,” Chen Jieyu followed behind him, watching his back as he led the way.
She suddenly thought that this young man must have a really strong heart.
His game project had such a big financial shortfall, yet he seemed as carefree as if nothing was troubling him.
Chen Jieyu didn’t know that was because he… really had nothing troubling him!
Room 212 next door was temporarily empty, so they stood in that area to talk.
Cheng Zhu looked at Chen Jieyu, and being someone adept at observing women, he could discern from her immaculate makeup traces of fatigue that makeup almost hid.
Moreover, her eyes behind those gold-rimmed glasses were slightly bloodshot.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but recall that a few days ago, this counselor had shared an English song on her social media.
The song was quite melancholic, carrying a slightly oppressive atmosphere, a bit of a downtempo tune.
And when Chen Jieyu saw him staring at her, she initially felt a bit uneasy.
But unexpectedly, when he spoke, just a simple sentence unleashed all the suppressed grievances, discomfort, and breakdowns she had bottled up over the past few days.
“Mr. Chen, have you lost some weight?” Cheng Zhu asked, looking at her.
