Chapter 129: Chapter 112: The Gathering of the Three Women
“It’s weird,” Chen Jieyu always felt that Cheng Zhu’s gaze on her was different from that of an ordinary male university student.
But where exactly the difference lay, she couldn’t articulate.
She came to “Youu Come to Play” indeed with the intention of checking in.
But as she was alone, she couldn’t bring herself to ask her students to help her take photos.
To her, this store could add to the carefully curated content of her WeChat Moments.
It was classy, elegantly decorated, in the vanguard of fashion, and it was also a store owned by one of her students.
For her, the cache of checking in at this store even surpassed that of high-end venues with very high per capita consumption.
As for Cheng Zhu’s intentions, they were even less pure.
The circle of students, and that of college and university leaders, had a certain distance.
Although as a counselor he didn’t rank high among the staff, he was still a member of the staff after all.
His idea was simple: to capture the attention of those big shots at the school to the greatest extent possible.
That was also one of the reasons why he chose to open a brick-and-mortar store first.
Some online projects, well, if no one whispers in their ears about them, they might really have no clue about your project.
Of course, super hot topics like the QQ Lingerie Store that could set University City abuzz were the exception.
But with a physical store, it’s a different story.
Unless you fuckers don’t walk down this street!
This is the essential path to the school’s gates—prime retail property.
As the leaders pass by, they’re bound to notice “Youu Come to Play.”
Unless they’re blind as well as old, which would be tragic.
Having Chen Jieyu post on Moments was actually just the icing on the cake, who knows, maybe it could even act as a catalyst.
Cheng Zhu needed to accumulate more cards in hand, leaving a stronger impression on the school leaders early on to make it easier to secure more benefits and resources later!
Manipulating a beautiful counselor’s little emotions was just incidental.
“Men who are single-mindedly obsessed with women are all losers,” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
“Of course, if the woman is a rich lady, then disregard what I said.”
At this moment, Chen Jieyu was still somewhat reluctant to have Cheng Zhu take photos of her.
But since her Moments photos usually had few expressions and shallow smiles, it really didn’t matter.
Cheng Zhu was naturally excellent at photography, more than capable of taking portrait photos, and was recognized in the QQ Lingerie field as being adept at it.
Therefore, Chen Jieyu was quite satisfied, the surprise in her eyes far exceeded that of when she won a toy on her first try earlier!
Just as she was getting ready to chat with Cheng Zhu a little more, she heard a voice full of vitality.
“Cheng Zhu! Hello, hello!”
— Your adorable senior, Lin Lu, suddenly appeared!
Lin Lu and Shen Qingning came to the store together, finally finding Cheng Zhu in the crowded space.
She was even holding two big bags of milk tea.
Didn’t Cheng Zhu tell her not to come to the store yesterday, saying everyone was copying their “demonstration photo” poses, and if the real deal suddenly appeared, it would make people uncomfortable?
Perturbed, Lin Lu decided not to care about his business today, nor buy him milk tea as a busy treat!
So, with a lot of spirit… she came today! Bought it today!
“Here, in this bag, is your five-percent-sweet drink,” Lin Lu said, lifting the bag in her right hand carrying four cups of milk tea.
Having been around him for so long, she knew Cheng Zhu’s tastes.
Seeing these two female students, who were very popular at the school, approach Cheng Zhu, Chen Jieyu said, “Your friends are here; I’ll take my leave.”
“Okay, bye Mr. Chen,” Cheng Zhu replied.
He noticed Chen Jieyu left in a rush, like she was escaping, and was somewhat puzzled.
“Why did she look like a thief, as if a mistress got caught by the legitimate wife?” Cheng Zhu wondered to himself.
He hadn’t actually noticed that the shoes Chen Jieyu wore were imitation versions of the shoes Shen Qingning was wearing now.
Many high-end designer runway pieces aren’t necessarily very recognizable by their logos, and they might not be mass-produced.
Such runway designs were often the target of imitation and copying by shops, with a few changes they become the new style of their own store.
Chen Jieyu had noticed this point, which was why she hastily left.
“Was that person just now… your class’ counselor?” Lin Lu felt she looked familiar.
“Yeah,” Cheng Zhu nodded.
“How did you know it was his counselor? Have you seen her before?” Shen Qingning abruptly chimed in.
Lin Lu replied frankly, “Yeah, I went to see Cheng Zhu’s military training, and I invited you, but you didn’t want to go! I saw their class’ counselor that day, quite pretty.”
Shen Qingning recalled that Lin Lu had indeed invited her, but before that, she had unexpectedly met Cheng Zhu at the fruit shop. His casual “Hello, rumored girlfriend” caught her off guard, so she flatly refused to go.
“Oh, I see, alright,” she said indifferently.
At that moment, Lin Lu moved close to Cheng Zhu, standing shoulder to shoulder, very close.
She asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that if Ningning and I came, it would affect others’ photography? How come it doesn’t affect today?”
“You don’t know how many people posted photos of our store online yesterday!” Cheng Zhu declared proudly.
“With so many similar photos flying all over the internet, they’ve become the standard photo check-in mode for our store, so of course things are better now!” he explained simply.
“Hiss, that makes some sense!” Lin Lu nodded slightly.
The sudden appearance of the two school beauties caused a small commotion in the game arcade.
