Cheng Zhu’s series of moves quickly spread throughout the industry.
Everyone started to realize how ruthless this first-year college student was.
"He’s not leaving any room for us at all!"
Speaking of which, Cheng Zhu had to thank Sister Yue.
After all, it was Sister Yue’s cryptic remarks that had inspired him.
"You said that betting on upcoming dramas was irresponsible behavior towards the company, right?"
"Okay, that opens up new ideas!"
"I almost forgot about classics like ’Empresses in the Palace’ and ’The Legend of Martial Arts’."
Cheng Zhu immediately utilized his resources to sign an exclusive co-branding contract with the drama producers.
The schedule for the co-branding was already lined up for next year...
This left his competitors helpless.
Everyone else could only try to come up with their own co-branding strategies to boost their traffic.
Over the next three days, Cheng Zhu was constantly in meetings.
Spending money was a painful affair, and he had to strategize with every department.
The rapid operation of the brain, along with some mentally draining issues, made one feel exhausted.
After a while, even this vigorous young man felt extremely tired.
This is why it’s not hard to see why many business tycoons are those who appear very energetic.
After finishing the last meeting, Cheng Zhu returned to his office, slumped in his chair, and closed his eyes to massage the bridge of his nose.
This cheeky, handsome guy actually started doing... eye exercises after slumping for a while!
When he was a student, he only did these exercises to slack off, feeling uncomfortable throughout with his eyes closed, occasionally sneaking peeks around, and his movements were far from standard.
But now, doing the eye exercises really helped alleviate some fatigue.
After completing a full set of eye exercises, Cheng Zhu leaned his office chair back and called Lin Lu.
"Hello, hello!" Lin Lu’s energetic voice quickly sounded from the phone.
Her tone of voice always gave off a very energetic vibe.
"Hey, can you hear me? Hello, hello, hello! Cheng Zhu, Cheng Zhu! Calling Cheng Zhu!"
"Then why aren’t you talking?"
"These past few days have been very tiring, I just wanted to hear your voice to recharge," Cheng Zhu replied with a smile.
"You are." Cheng Zhu replied seriously.
Lin Lu was one of those rare girls that even Cheng Zhu couldn’t handle, and he always felt better whenever he met her.
He wasn’t just saying sweet nothings to make her feel special, he was speaking from his heart.
To be precise, he had made this call to ask the energetic girl for some emotional value.
"Then you shouldn’t work so hard, you’ve already made a fortune!" Little Lu said.
"It’s not a matter of earning more or less now, there’s no way around it." Cheng Zhu said.
Sometimes, you can’t rest even if you want to.
He was already a master of time management, both in work and in his emotional life.
But these days, he still felt like there wasn’t enough time.
He couldn’t stop because there was a pile of things chasing after him.
If he rested even for a moment, the next few days would only be busier, messier, and more tiring.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Lu asked, "Do you still have things to do today?"
"Not at the moment, maybe just some urgent calls." Cheng Zhu said.
Upon hearing that, Energizer Girl immediately suggested, "Then how about I come pick you up and we go for a SPA to relax! Ningning and I often go to that place, it’s really comfortable."
"Alright, then send me the location."
"No, I’ll come to your company to pick you up, Little Lu driver is ready!" Lin Lu, seeing her boyfriend so tired, thought she must provide the best service.
"That’s great?" Cheng Zhu laughed and said, "Then I’ll pay for the SPA later."
"Of course, you should pay. You’ve earned so much money, and you’re working so hard, you need to spend a bit to feel accomplished, right?" The voice actress, who certainly didn’t lack money, added over the phone:
"Thanks boss, the boss is generous, boss is awesome."
Listening to her voice, a smile naturally appeared on Cheng Zhu’s face.
"Alright alright, just let me know when you get here, drive safely."
About fifteen minutes later, Lin Lu arrived at the office building.
As Cheng Zhu was taking the elevator down, he heard Lin Lu say, "Cheng Zhu, let’s go straight to dinner there, the dumplings and Zhajiangmian at the wellness center are super tasty."
"Alright," Cheng Zhu laughed, "I’ll follow your lead."
After getting on the road, Lin Lu casually suggested, "How about we skip the SPA and just get a foot massage or a massage?"
"Aren’t you the one who dislikes foot massages and body massages because they hurt too much? No worries, we’ll do the SPA, I can just lie down and take a nap." Cheng Zhu wasn’t fooled, he replied.
It dawned on Little Lu on the way that taking her boyfriend for a SPA was completely different from going with Ningning!
You have to take your clothes off!
Since she was averse to foot massages and massages, she had always just gone for SPA treatments at the wellness center, and that’s what she blurted out over the phone.
Lin Lu, who can’t keep things to herself, seeing that Cheng Zhu insisted on the SPA, could only frown and say, "Then you... you better not peek later!"
"Peek at what?" Cheng Zhu laughed and teased her.
After all, although the two of them had hugged and slept together on his birthday night, Cheng Zhu had already experienced the amazing touch, feeling like the flesh might spill out from between his fingers if he squeezed too hard.
