Chapter 163: Chapter 139 Daddy the Sponsor, Here I Come
On the other side, what was Cheng Zhu doing after he returned home?
He was reviewing photos.
After freshening up and lying in bed, he asked Ye Zi to send over all the photos taken that day for him to review.
What can I say? Although they were taken according to the sample photos he had provided, Cheng Zhu’s feelings were still different.
After all, he didn’t take these photos himself and wasn’t involved in the process, so looking at them felt like browsing through new resources shared by group members on social media.
This new model named Xixi was overall quite satisfactory.
She was very open, and… her flexibility seemed not bad.
Even those high-difficulty, almost anti-human photography poses, she managed to nail them accurately.
Just that was enough to amaze many seasoned critics.
Cheng Zhu quickly picked the main showcase photo for each product set from the pile of pictures.
Then, he asked Ye Zi to edit these photos first.
He knew that this was Ye Zi’s first time handling this task, and she’d likely take longer to finish, fearing that she wouldn’t do well enough.
So he wasn’t in a hurry and gave her an extra half day.
“By the way, did you go to work at Shen Minglang’s bar today?” Cheng Zhu remembered this matter.
“I didn’t. I told him the other day, I quit.” Ye Zi replied.
Cheng Zhu didn’t expect her to be so efficient.
But this also showed that Boss Shen’s bar business must really be poor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let her quit immediately. He would’ve ideally found a new bartender first, then had her train the new person before letting her go.
Speaking of which, Shen Minglang now truly envied and admired Cheng Zhu.
Not to mention the booming QQ Lingerie store, but even a claw machine arcade could be so successful.
At this moment, Ye Zi continued to send WeChat messages: “Boss, so I stayed in a hotel tonight by myself, to save on the room fee.”
Cheng Zhu understood that she was hinting at him.
A sensible woman is like this; she sends you the message, telling you you’re welcome to come over anytime.
But she won’t make demands or ask you to come and accompany her.
She’s ready at a moment’s notice; as for you, it’s up to your mood.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Zhu decided against it.
Hang City was too big, and the hotel wasn’t too far from Technology University, but it was quite a distance from his home.
Since he had come home today, it wasn’t good to go out again in the evening and not return for the night.
Otherwise, his mom would surely give him an earful.
Moreover, he was currently chatting with Lin Lu.
“Cheng Zhu, you still owe me a meal. Have you forgotten?” Lin Lu suddenly brought it up.
Of course, Cheng Zhu remembered. That day they played darts on the street, and he purposefully lost to Lin Lu, thus owing her a meal.
“I might be a bit busy these days,” he truthfully said.
Of course, no matter how busy, meals have to be eaten, and it’s not like he wouldn’t have time to eat.
But if the two of them went out just for a meal, it would be somewhat regrettable.
A hasty date would surely result in a mediocre experience.
However, since she brought it up herself, it wasn’t much different from her asking me out for a meal.
“You’re really good at stalling, even a meal can be dragged out this long. If this continues, I’ll start charging interest!” Lin Lu sent him a WeChat.
“How are you going to calculate that?” Cheng Zhu typed with a smile.
“Double it. Now you owe me two meals!”
Cheng Zhu replied quickly, “It doesn’t matter to me; my budget for treating you won’t change; I can break it into five meals and it’s still fine.”
Lin Lu found this man to be extremely annoying!
However, Cheng Zhu soon sent a WeChat message: “If you don’t mind being a bit bored, feel free to come to the school on the weekend. I should be busy in the Entrepreneur Park. Remember to drive here; might need the car.”
“Alright!” Lin Lu agreed right away: “Ace driver Lin Lu at your service!”
“I’m not interested in ace drivers, I only like car models,” Cheng Zhu said casually.
Lin Lu immediately sent back an emoji of an old man aiming a gun at him.
After chatting for a while longer, they said goodnight to each other.
The next morning, Cheng Zhu rode his electric scooter to the plot of land that Director Li had assigned him in the East Building.
At the supermarket at the school gate, he also bought brooms, mops, rags, and the like.
Then, he started to call Liu Feng.
“Hey, Chuaner! Still asleep? Quickly wake up Dong Dong and Zheng Qingfeng, and come to 212, East Building! I’ve bought breakfast for you at the school gate.”
“Talking about living for games, dying for games! You guys don’t have the spirit of game production at all!” he scolded his three foster sons.
“Hurry up and help me clean!”
…
…
Entrepreneur Park, room 212 of the East Building.
The guys from dorm 309 worked together and cleaned up the place.
Dong Dong, leaning on the mop with one hand, looked around and said, “Well, I gotta say, I’m starting to feel a sense of accomplishment!”
“Just from cleaning up the venture space, you’re already feeling accomplished?” Cheng Zhu was amused.
Room 212 in the East Building had nearly a hundred square meters.
Tables and chairs were complete, and only one light overhead was broken and needed a new bulb.
Director Li was very generous and even approved two computers for Cheng Zhu.
But he guessed the computers wouldn’t have a very high configuration, so he planned to buy two better ones that afternoon.
Then there was the trivial matter of getting broadband and such.
“The tables are usable, but the chairs are really poor.” Cheng Zhu looked around and thought to himself.
These tables and chairs were similar to those in classrooms and definitely were not as comfortable as office chairs for long-term use.
At this thought, he suddenly remembered: “Nowadays, ergonomic chairs still haven’t caught on.”
“That might be a good opportunity as well.” he thought.
Knowing that more and more people need to sit for work, many will develop various occupational illnesses.
Whether ergonomic chairs are actually useful, or just a placebo, Cheng Zhu wasn’t really sure.
He only knew that these chairs later sold very well.
“Even the lower-quality ones are quite pricey, easily costing several hundred, and the decent ones can cost a couple of thousand.”
“Prices aren’t low, but sales are quite high.”
He had purchased several of them in his previous life’s company and had seen several Taobao shops selling thousands of units per month, or even more!
In a year, the sales could easily exceed a hundred million!
The profits within must be considerable.
“But it’s definitely not time to make those yet. People’s consumption habits will change with the times, and as time goes on, more and more people will be willing to pay for health.”
“And interestingly enough, the proportion of young people willing to pay for health and wellness keeps growing each year.”
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered: “The esports chair trend seems to come earlier than ergonomic chairs. They became popular sooner.”
“Those are also very hot sellers!”
The advantage of being reborn is sometimes coming across something that makes you think laterally and keenly sense business opportunities.
By noon, Lin Lu arrived at room 212, and this little rich girl brought McDonald’s for everyone.
Liu Feng and Dong Dong immediately cheered, while Zheng Qingfeng silently cheered in his heart.
The three foster sons, while feasting, couldn’t help but admire Cheng Zhu even more.
So esteemed, the campus goddess comes to help on the weekend and even pays for McDonald’s for everyone.
They’re not even dating yet—if they were, that’d be something else!
After eating, Cheng Zhu sent them to take care of the broadband, while he and Lin Lu went to buy computers.
Once in the car, Cheng Zhu sat in the passenger seat and casually said, “I feel like I should go buy a car too, otherwise it can be quite bothersome at times.”
He had thought before that when he had more spare cash, he’d go straight for a nicer car.
After all, he was only really poor at the beginning of his former startup phase; within a couple of years, he had upgraded to a Cayenne, and later on, he had his pick of luxury cars.
“If you need a car, just tell me. You can use mine,” Lin Lu said while driving.
“I usually live with Ningning, and we have the same classes, so the two of us using one car is enough.” She explained, “Actually, this car is usually just parked downstairs most of the time.”
Wow, even offering her car for me to use.
The appeal of the rich and beautiful…
He smiled at Lin Lu, making a mischievous noise: “Then, could you and Ningning use the Audi from now on, and I get the Land Rover?”
This guy’s even got a preference now.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lu replied, “Is that right? I don’t make the call about Ningning’s car, maybe I’ll go home and switch cars with my mom. Though it’s not a Land Rover, it’s a Discovery.”
Cheng Zhu: “…”
Fair enough, you win this round.
I just made a casual joke, and you really can pull it off, huh?
He quickly laughed it off and teased, “Then, how do you plan to explain to your aunt? Are you going to tell her that you’re switching cars because a guy said he wants to drive a Land Rover?”
Listening to his teasing, Lin Lu blushed slightly, glancing at him and said, “Get out! What are you talking about? I won’t switch then. You’ll have just the Audi, take it or leave it!”
Cheng Zhu watched her with a smile, finding her slightly flushed cheeks all the more endearing, and said:
“Of course, I was just joking. With my looks and temperament, I’m not really suited to drive a Land Rover; I’d easily draw the police’s attention.”
Lin Lu heard him, huffed, and her mood improved quite a bit. She even laughed at his joke and said, “Huh, so you know you don’t look like a good guy?”
Cheng Zhu looked at her and muttered in his heart, “I might be even worse than you think!”
…
…
Cheng Zhu was busy with various odds and ends for the entire afternoon on Saturday.
It wasn’t until four o’clock that Lin Lu left the Entrepreneur Park’s East Building and drove home for dinner.
Cheng Zhu checked the time and thought that Ye Zi should have finished editing the main seller show photos by now, so he went to her for the photos.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Sure enough, in no time, Ye Zi sent over her work.
He checked and found only one photo that wasn’t quite right; the face looked too stiff, but the rest were usable.
“You redo this one, the face doesn’t look natural, but the rest are all good,” Cheng Zhu said.
Ye Zi immediately replied with the “OK boss” emoji.
This emoji was actually an edit from “Ok master”, with the word “master” scratched out and replaced with “boss”.
If they were flirting privately, Ye Zi would just send the original.
Indeed, it was about a seamless switch between work and personal life!
Following the principle of saving time, Cheng Zhu sent these usable seller show pictures to the artist Hu Yan.
To his surprise, Hu Yan’s response was, “Wuwuwu! Boss, you’ve finally, finally, finally given me work!”
“Are you that short on cash?” Cheng Zhu was taken aback.
Little did he know that Hu Yan was bursting with inspiration for that kind of art, ready to draw instinctively.
Hu Yan immediately sent a WeChat message to her studio’s junior sister: “Junior sister, junior sister! Big news! My sugar daddy has found me!”
