In Starbucks, Shen Qingning listened to Cheng Zhu's words, her cold face tightened slightly.

She was really nervous when she had a video call with Xu Yun just now, but she thought she concealed it well.

But what annoyed her the most was that Cheng Zhu was not nervous at all when he met his stepmother.

This was also the reason why she felt a little disappointed before.

?????

In the end, this person was so good that he actually criticized himself and looked at me with an expression as if he was watching a show!

"Do I have one?" Shen Qingning said hard and raised her eyes to meet her.

The aura is as strong as ever, but the main focus at the moment is a strong support.

"Okay, okay." Cheng Zhu smiled and lowered his head to take a sip of coffee.

When Shen Qingning looked at him, the feeling of loss in her heart was still spreading.

Because in her opinion, if a boy of this age really has a crush on a girl, he will "hide" her in front of some people.

For example, when facing parents.

Cheng Zhu's behavior was so natural that he didn't mind letting his mother know that he was alone with a girl.

It feels like we are just friends, innocent, with a clear conscience, and not afraid of others asking or thinking too much.

It's not like her. When Cheng Zhu met her stepmother, he wasn't nervous at all, but Shen Qingning herself was a little nervous.

At this moment, Cheng Zhu took a sip of coffee and began to say vaguely: "Actually, I have been quite nervous all afternoon today."

I just didn’t say specifically whether I was worried about renting a store or other aspects.

"Huh?" Shen Qingning raised her head: "I can't tell."

"That's for sure, a real man can't show his emotions or anger!" Cheng Yi said with a stinking look on his face: "Didn't Auntie notice it too?"

The cold girl bit the straw gently, flattened the straw, took a small sip of coffee, and then let out a soft ooh.

After Cheng reached the point one by one, he started to change the topic.

"Speaking of which, the two times I opened a physical store, it was like renting your store." He said with a smile.

The shop at the school gate was a gift from Mr. Shen to his daughter, which allowed her to collect rent and earn more pocket money.

Starlight City is owned by the Shen family.

"Actually, the claw machine shop and the milk tea shop are my sister's little wishes. You have indirectly helped her realize her wish. No wonder I gave you half of the only candied haws." He said casually.

"Actually, I thought that little Yuzu wouldn't like me." The tsundere girl rarely revealed her sincerity, perhaps because the person in question was the most innocent child.

"Huh? Why?"

"I seem to have always had a bad rapport with children. The younger brothers and sisters in my family also prefer to play with my brother and Jiang Wanzhou."

"That's for sure. You have a straight face all day long, and you have no expression on your face. You frown at every turn, and you don't have a few nice words in your mouth." Cheng Zhu continued to talk.

"Look, I'm frowning again." He grinned.

"Don't talk about children, I think Jiang Wanzhou and Shen Minglang are both afraid of you." Cheng Zhu shrugged slightly.

"I don't think you have any at all." Shen Qingning said angrily in her heart.

Cheng Zhuze continued: "My sister actually likes you quite a lot. Although I don't know why, that's the situation."

"Then she should like Lulu more." Shen Qingning raised her eyes to look at him, or rather her eyes were fixed on him.

"Then I don't know, but... it's possible?" Cheng Zhu was not afraid of her eyes and looked into her eyes.

"But even if she doesn't like you first in the world, it doesn't mean she doesn't like you, right?" He said.

Shen Qingning said nothing, but lowered her head and took another sip of coffee.

At this moment, Cheng Zhu noticed Wu Yuzhou walking out of the perfume shop opposite.

The other party seemed to have spotted Shen Qingning and Cheng Zhu sitting in Starbucks at a glance.

The two of them sitting together were indeed a bit too eye-catching.

But this time Wu Yuzhou just nodded slightly to Cheng Zhu, who was looking at him, and had no intention of coming over to join in the fun.

Shen Qingning followed his gaze, turned to look outside, and then said to Cheng Zhudao: "The location of this store is really good. If you open a milk tea shop here, people outside the mall can see it."

"But do you really think it's a good thing to open opposite Starbucks?" She was a little curious.

She wasn't sure if Cheng Zhu said that just to win over this store, or if that's what he really thought.

Because based on normal business logic, this is really not a good thing.

No matter what everyone thinks of Starbucks, it has been operating at this price for many years.

If you have a newly established milk tea brand that has no public acceptance, sells milk tea at twice the price of ordinary milk tea, and opens opposite Starbucks, most people will think it is a dead end!

Even to put it harshly, many people will think: "Is this boss a fool?"

When Cheng Zhu heard this, he smiled and said frankly: "I do think it is a good thing."

Starbucks is opened opposite, which is really great.

The one I bought was Starbucks!

"Why?" Shen Qingning asked.

"It's hard to explain in just a few words. I'll tell you slowly when the store opens. I actually like fighting this kind of complicated battle."

"Because sometimes, seemingly unfavorable situations can actually be exploited."

"Wealth can only be found in danger." Cheng Zhu first said something that everyone had heard.

Then, he added in a coaxing tone:

"The well-known economics professor Gao Qiqiang once said: The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

Shen Qingning was very unfamiliar with this name and felt as if she had never heard of this economics professor.

But seeing how confident Cheng Zhu was, she didn't say anything more.

In her opinion, Cheng Zhu seemed to be very good at taking the wrong approach and finding new paths.

Since he really thought so, she felt more at ease.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Zhu and Shen Qingning found a hot pot restaurant in the shopping mall and started having dinner together.

Cheng Zhu only found out today that Shen Qingning likes spicy food.

"Did you know that spicy is not actually a taste, but a pain?" Cheng Zhu looked at the spicy pot and said to her.

"Huh? I think I've seen it somewhere." Shen Qingning said as she put beef brains into the spicy pot.

"Sour, sweet, bitter and salty are all tastes, but spicy is not." Cheng Zhu said, "But people are quite strange. Many people just like spicy food, just like you and me."

"Don't make it sound like we have masochistic tendencies." Shen Qingning raised her eyes and glanced at him, then started to put the lunch meat in again.

"I didn't mean that." Cheng Zhu stirred his sauce plate with chopsticks.

He took his phone and checked the time. Thinking that it was already past five o'clock, he sent Ye Zi a WeChat message.

"Are you still in the hotel?" he asked first.

"No, I'm eating nearby with Liu Jiani and the others." Ye Zi replied.

"Have the shooting plans for the next few days been arranged?"

"It's arranged."

"Send it to me for a look," Cheng Zhu said.

The factory in Guanyun has been rented, and a new batch of machines have been purchased.

Guanyun can become the QQ underwear capital of the world because of its unique conditions.

Due to some special reasons, this place has no shortage of experienced female textile workers.

In other words, there are enough workers.

Many people who have run factories with a lot of manual procedures should know very well that recruiting workers has always been a very annoying problem.

But for Cheng Zhu, everything is ready now.

After all the seller shows are completed, you can start to enter the overseas market.

Ye Zi quickly sent over the schedule form.

Cheng Zhu took a quick look and found that the schedule was quite tight. Ye Zi probably felt that the boss was in a hurry.

"Okay, just shoot it like this." Cheng Zhu replied.

"Well." Ye Zi said to Cheng Zhu at this moment: "Boss, Liu Jiani wants to add your WeChat account. Can I push your WeChat account to her?"

"Okay." Cheng Zhuchen asked, "Did you talk about anything after I left?"

"We just chatted a few words about the product design of our store. She is not a fashion designer, so she is more interested in this. She was surprised to hear that the clothes in our store are all designed by the boss yourself." Ye Zi Reply to the letter.

Cheng Zhu understood: The relationship is that after I left, you helped me pretend to be cool!
