Chapter 135: Chapter 117 The Wicked Also Need the Wicked to Grind
Xu Shao, a rare deep-hearted seed among Hang City’s rich second-generation circle.
Or rather, a deep-hearted seed for now.
Because if you were to interview many jerks, often you would get a somewhat consistent answer, such as, “I’m all because of her!”
Xu Shao always paid incredible attention to Zhang Qiqi’s updates.
Whether it was her Weibo or Moments, it was the same.
Just now, he had stumbled upon a beautiful photo she posted in her Moments.
He had been ready to appreciate it, but as soon as he opened the photo, he was stunned!
“No way! This can’t be possible!”
“Why would Qiqi go to his shop?”
“She dislikes Shen Qingning so much, and she even hinted to me that because of this, she has come to loathe Cheng Zhu too!”
“Besides, she doesn’t like claw machines at all! She thinks dolls are something that little girls like, she’s already past that stage.”
Xu Shao had been quite busy these past few days too, his family had arranged a small project for him to follow through the entire process.
So he could only find time to chat with Zhang Qiqi every day.
“Could it be, she feels that I’ve been neglecting her lately, so she did this on purpose to spite me?” Xu Shao thought to himself with such a dreadful idea.
Xu Shao would like Zhang Qiqi’s every Moments post, but this one about “Youu Come to Play,” he didn’t hit like immediately.
What’s more outrageous was that this internet-famous campus belle posted nine pictures in one go!
This was simply VIP treatment!
You know, arranging a nine-square grid is hard work!
He’s heard Qiqi complain enough about how sometimes it’s hard to arrange the photos.
What made him even more incredulous was the caption of the Moments post: “Discovered a really interesting shop~”
What’s so interesting about this crappy store!?
“He even added the location of this shop at the bottom, included the location?” Xu Shao was dumbfounded.
This treatment felt like she was a web celebrity who had taken on a business endorsement for “Youu Come to Play”…
Did she take money to make soft advertisements for him?
Many might wonder why rich men also play the fawning follower?
Sometimes it’s actually about the difference in levels.
And another thing is, so-called fawning followers are those who constantly give money, time, energy, emotions, etc.
You can’t bring anything to the table, you’re not even qualified to be a fawner!
Take a look at the fawners in real life, how many of them have neither money nor free time?
Xu Shao picked up his phone and messaged Zhang Qiqi on WeChat immediately.
His fingers pressed against the phone screen with incredible force, as if he wanted to smash the screen.
“Qiqi! Why did you go to his shop!”
After typing, he hesitated for half a second before sending, then deleted the two exclamation points, replacing them with a comma and a question mark.
No, no, when the full picture is unknown, it’s not appropriate to use an accusatory tone; that would only deduct points.
When chasing a girl, I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve!
Once I’ve successfully won Qiqi over, these advanced-level details are all something to brag about.
When Zhang Qiqi saw Xu Shao’s WeChat message, she frowned immediately.
—This guy is so annoying!
Why is he so annoying!
She was just in the middle of creating a slightly flirty chatting atmosphere with Cheng Zhu, focusing on hooking the handsome guy.
And you just had to ruin my mood!
I can’t be fully immersed now!
She decided to handle this annoying guy first.
“His shop is quite popular online, it really is a good photogenic spot, you know, I have to post pictures on Weibo every few days, otherwise, I’ll run out of traffic.”
“I haven’t found any particularly suitable places to take pictures recently, this place is perfect.”
Xu Shao’s first reaction was: “It’s my fault!”
“Qiqi, I’ve been really busy these days, my family has arranged some things for me, once I’m done, I’ll take you wherever you want to go.”
In a big city like Hang City, there are countless high-end places to take photos.
But he was well aware that Zhang Qiqi was only from a middle-class family, and her allowance was limited.
The shop was right outside their school, indeed convenient.
But the problem was… why the hell is this crappy store so popular!
The arcade I invested in has gone belly up, ice cold, his shop only has a couple of claw machines and a few dance machines, why the heck?
Is it because his claw machines are pink?
Could it be that he called in some favors during the grand opening?
When their arcade first opened, they also had many friends play for free inside, in fact to act as shills to create buzz and atmosphere for the shop.
“Observe and observe, I really don’t believe the business could continue to be good!”
Indeed, many men completely don’t understand these popular internet-famous shops favored by girls and what makes them tick.
Just as he was about to continue chatting with Zhang Qiqi, she sent him a WeChat message.
“I’m going to sleep, I’m a bit tired today, planning to rest early.”
“Then you rest up, good night,” Xu Shao replied promptly.
Of course, he naturally did not receive a good night reply from Zhang Qiqi.
After sending that message, she temporarily became a “dead person” in Xu Shao’s world, immediately switching chat boxes to chat with Cheng Zhu.
Xu Shao was used to this by now, after all, every chat session always ended with his last spoken words.
This was also something he learned from the internet!
When chatting with girls, you need to end with your own words, to show yourself—that you’ll always have a response for her.
So even if during a chat, Zhang Qiqi ended with a simple “Hmm”, he would reply with “Hmm hmm”.
