Chapter 816: Chapter 535: Weather Forecast: Rain Expected (Part 2)
Then, Cheng Zhu looked at Yiyi, who was eager to try, and said with a smile, “Minors are prohibited from drinking!”
“Brother Zhu, I’m almost an adult, can I just have a taste? I’m a bit curious.” Yiyi held up her fingers to show a tiny distance.
“Alright.” Cheng Zhu only poured her a tiny bit, just about half a sip.
The Innocent Little White Flower took a small sip and then showed a somewhat strange expression, clearly someone who rarely drinks.
Cheng Zhu couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking Yiyi, the youth limited edition, was still quite fun.
In their past life, Yiyi often accompanied him to social gatherings where alcohol was involved, and she seemed naturally good at handling alcohol. After drinking more frequently, she would often help Cheng Zhu block drinks.
With her delicate and gentle face, she actually protected Cheng Zhu quite well.
At that moment, when the beef was brought to the table, she eagerly volunteered, saying she would grill the meat: “I have a lot of experience with grilling.”
“I should do it.” Cheng Zhu said.
“It’s okay, junior, Yiyi enjoys it.” Zhang Qiqi intervened.
In her mind, Yiyi was the kind of girl who loved doing household chores and different tasks, and she never seemed to tire of them.
However, she wasn’t aware that the first time Cheng Zhu touched Yiyi’s heart in their past life was when he remarked to her, “You seem to really like pretending to be sensible?”
The two girls didn’t really have a habit of eating late-night snacks; they just wanted to meet Cheng Zhu.
But once the beef was in their mouths, they all exclaimed, “This is really delicious!”
Cheng Zhu nodded slightly, he hadn’t been there for a while and missed it a bit, so he buried his head and ate fervently.
“Junior, you’ve been really busy lately, haven’t you?” Zhang Qiqi asked.
“Yeah, so busy that smoke’s coming out.” Cheng Zhu replied honestly.
All his remaining spare time was given to Lu Lu, Ningning, his counselor, and his family… He hadn’t considered giving any to her at all.
“Since you signed with Ancient Mountain, how has Zhu Youwei been arranging things lately?” he asked with a hint of concern.
“Right now, I’m collaborating with other influencers in the company, to mutually drive traffic.” Zhang Qiqi replied, “Mr. Zhu wants us to collaborate with everyone first.”
Cheng Zhu nodded slightly, thinking to himself: “What mutual traffic flow, you don’t have much traffic to begin with.”
“Have they invested in driving traffic for you?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“Yes, the company spent quite a bit of money.” Zhang Qiqi replied.
Once my short video platform is up and running, based on the principle of keeping “fertile water within the family,” I’ll definitely prioritize making Zhang Qiqi, with whom I’ve established a unique lip friendship, a phenomenal internet celebrity. She’ll be the benchmark during the early stages to attract other influencers.
Before that happens, the higher Zhang Qiqi’s personal traffic gets, the easier it will be for him to manage things later on.
Yiyi sat quietly on the side, listening to her cousin and Brother Zhu chatting while grilling the meat meticulously.
During this time, the green tea senior kept nudging her chopsticks, proactively placing meat into Cheng Zhu’s bowl.
The meat was grilled by the cousin, and the courtesy was shown by the cousin’s sister.
In this, the Innocent Little White Flower didn’t mind at all.
Because she knew very well what level of person Brother Zhu was, having managed such a big business while still in college, his mind was clearly sharp.
The only thing she disliked was: “How annoying, not using serving chopsticks, using her own chopsticks to put meat on Brother Zhu’s plate.”
Besides that, she also noted the little tricks Zhang Qiqi used for physical contact.
For example, when having a joyful conversation, she would laugh and lightly tap Cheng Zhu.
“If they were sitting side by side, they’d probably lean over while laughing.” Yiyi thought to herself.
She had seen many girls in high school, all trying to present themselves as very outgoing, often mingling well with the guys.
In her impression, Zhang Qiqi was the type who liked to fish for compliments, normally she wouldn’t act this way.
But facing someone of Cheng Zhu’s level, of course, she could only paste herself up eagerly.
After taking a bite of grilled meat, Cheng Zhu suddenly turned to Meng Yiyi and said, “Yiyi, you’ve been in Hang City for almost a month now, what have you been up to lately?”
— “Sharing the blessings across.”
Zhang Qiqi heard this, and the first thought popping up in her mind was, “Yiyi? That’s quite affectionate.”
But she quickly let it go.
“Cheng Zhu and I have done that thing, she’s my cousin, couldn’t he be considered half a brother-in-law?”
Upon hearing Brother Zhu suddenly ask about her, Yiyi felt a burst of joy, not feeling neglected at all, and immediately opened up:
“Lately I’ve just been helping out around with my sister, but I’ve learned a lot, it feels really fulfilling every day.”
Cheng Zhu looked at her, smiling, and asked, “Have you thought about becoming an influencer? You totally have the looks for it.”
Zhang Qiqi heard this, and her alarm bells rang even louder!
“Could junior even want to personally nurture her?” the influencer senior thought to herself.
Meng Yiyi automatically filtered that sentence as Brother Zhu complimenting her looks.
Then, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, “I…I don’t think I could, I get a little nervous in front of cameras, not as confident as my sister.”
She even took the opportunity to compliment Zhang Qiqi.
As a result, the sly man immediately said, “Is that so? Aren’t you quite fond of taking pictures?”
He was subtly hinting at Yiyi taking candid shots of him at a concert while managing to be in the frame herself, even making a peace sign.
“Ah!” Yiyi quickly realized, then immediately said, “No…not really.”
Zhang Qiqi, listening beside them, always felt like they shared some encrypted language, as if there were things she didn’t know about?
