Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 107 - 94: The Disappearing Name
Chapter 107: Chapter 94: The Disappearing Name
[Persistent Visit] On the night the new products were launched, the total sales of the new items combined broke through 200,000 yuan.
And that was done with hardly any money spent on internal platform promotion.
This is the advantage of an internet celebrity’s store.
—So outrageous, no cost, all profit!
Many regular stores have to operate slowly after launching new products and gradually accumulate sales.
The internet celebrity store comes with a fan economy, so the data on launch day won’t be bad.
...
In most cases, the sales figures on the first day might already be the peak.
Now, [Persistent Visit] had begun to subtly feel like a trendsetter.
Anyone who needs to stay on trend will undoubtedly choose to buy as soon as possible.
“Speaking of which, never underestimate the purchasing power of these internet ‘benefit princesses’ and little web celebs.”
“Indeed, it’s not bad at all,” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
But then again, there’s nothing surprising about it. After all, this is the business they’re engaged in. Buying these clothes is just an initial investment cost.
Cheng Zhu was now looking at the large orders in the backend, especially those ordering several, or even more than a dozen, of the same style, he could virtually confirm the occupations of these customers.
They are either peers from the QQ community, coming to our store to stock up.
These goods might be sold in physical stores and such places.
Apart from peers, those who buy so many pieces of the same style are likely minor internet celebrities.
For [Persistent Visit], doing business with these web celebs is especially easy because their return rate is almost zero!
Do you think these people would haggle, buy the stuff, take a picture, and then return the merchandise?
That would be a big mistake!
These individuals will sell the products as ‘original flavor’ in their dedicated fan groups at high prices.
That’s also the reason they buy so many pieces of the same style.
“For them, our store’s products are like their… personal merchandise?” Cheng Zhu mocked in his heart.
He simply could not understand this web celeb industrial chain.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as it makes him money.
“Just as technology is innocent, so are our products,” the serious QQ businessman Cheng Zhu told himself.
…
…
The next day, Cheng Zhu got up early.
The weather had started to cool down, and in the early morning, if you only wore a short-sleeved shirt, you would feel a bit chilly.
Last night, it had drizzled a little.
That brought the temperature in Hang City down a notch after the start of autumn.
—Autumn creeps in slowly, but the cold comes abruptly. You don’t realize summer’s gone until it’s sunny, one rain and you know it’s fall.
The three drama queens in the dorm had already bought new autumn clothes.
A few days ago, they were even clamoring for Cheng Zhu to go buy a long-sleeved white shirt and to wear it together when it got cold, so that the whole 309 dorm could switch to white shirts at the same time and become white shirt male gods!
Cheng Zhu couldn’t bear to tell them that white shirts are particularly selective.
Did they have no clue about their own suitability?
Why not wear plaid shirts that suit your computer geek identity?
That morning, Cheng Zhu had almost a full schedule of classes.
He listened very attentively, always sitting in the front row of the classroom.
“In 2015 and 2016, the landscape online is undergoing major changes with many emerging industries popping up like bamboo shoots after rain,” Cheng Zhu felt he needed to prepare early.
One way to prepare was to enhance his knowledge reserve.
There had been many hot topics in recent years.
But whether you could soar depends on your own abilities.
By nearly three o’clock in the afternoon, Cheng Zhu, who finally had no classes, planned to go check out his claw machine store off-campus.
Today, the workers’ task was demolition, removing all the unnecessary decorations.
Cheng Zhu strolled off campus and first went to a milk tea shop called Yididian on the street to buy a cup of Four Seasons Milk Green Tea.
Then, he walked to his own shop while savoring the milk tea.
He could hear noises from afar.
The neighbors to the left and right of his shop were a fried chicken restaurant and a snack shop, respectively.
Cheng Zhu had already visited them.
If he encountered the boss, they would smoke together.
If he met the boss’s wife, he would be a bit nicer and chat with her while showing off his handsome face.
In the same street where everyone was trying to make a living, even though his store was short-lived and not long-lasting, it might suddenly die before even celebrating its first anniversary, he still needed to maintain basic neighborly relationships.
When Cheng Zhu was almost at his store, he saw a man standing outside looking in.
The visitor was none other than Xu Shao.
Of course, Cheng Zhu didn’t know his name, he thought of him as: the curved-lip guy fetched by Zhang Qiqi.
There was a new internet-famous dessert shop opening in Hang City, and Xu Shao queued up for a long time, then came to bring desserts especially for Zhang Qiqi.
Passing by the shop that was under renovation, he couldn’t resist stopping to look.
He found it difficult to be completely indifferent to Cheng Zhu.
Not destined to have a boyfriend, yet always setting up a rival in his mind.
At that moment, before he clearly saw what was going on inside, he saw Cheng Zhu approaching him.
An awkward Xu Shao immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket, bowed his head to light it, and walked on.
Their eyes crossed as they brushed past each other.
“Damn, what’s with that strange look again!” Xu Shao inwardly thought, as he caught Cheng Zhu’s gaze.
“What the hell is that look?” Cheng Zhu also thought.
Just now, he had looked at the big fish in Zhang Qiqi’s pond with pity while Xu Shao, thinking Cheng Zhu was crazy to open an arcade, looked at him with pity too.
Even though their points of interest were different, they both tacitly thought the other was a clown.
Until a crisp voice rose from the noisy shop: “Cheng Zhu! Hey! I’m here!”
A figure wearing a mask trotted out of the dusty store.
The energetic voice actress jumped down from the steps, pulled off her mask at the first chance, and took deep breaths of the fresh air outside.
She had arrived early to keep an eye on the renovation for Cheng Zhu, and had even been chatting with the contractor for about ten minutes, hinting subtly, “I’m an insider! Don’t you dare skimp on the work!”
In response, the contractor had said, “Boss Cheng is sure lucky, having such a beautiful girlfriend who is also so knowledgeable.”
“Mr. Chen, I’m not his girlfriend, I’m his school senior!” Lin Lu said.
At the time, they had been knocking down a wall, and Mr. Chen with the surname Chen misheard, “Huh? You’re his biological sister? You don’t look very similar!”
“Not biological sister! School senior!” Lin Lu raised her voice, emphasizing, “Just a school senior!”
“School senior?” Mr. Chen gave her a glance, thinking: “Just a school senior, yet you care so much? You came early in the morning and again in the afternoon, you look like you have a bit of a cleanliness obsession, but you’re checking everything out at the construction site.”
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
He just couldn’t understand the youth of today.
At that moment, Xu Shao, who hadn’t gone far, heard the commotion behind him and turned to look.
He saw Lin Lu jump down from the steps to Cheng Zhu’s side, remove her mask with a single motion, and take a deep breath.
It was a simple movement, yet it gave off such a cute and vibrant impression that it struck him with a wave of beauty.
Being in love with such a cute girl must make one smile often when looking at her.
Xu Shao immediately shook his head, dispelling any distracting thoughts.
“Better hurry and deliver the desserts to Qiqi before the ice pack melts and they don’t taste as good,” he thought.
With that thought, he quickened his pace.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhu looked at Lin Lu taking deep breaths and sniffed himself, saying, “Are you also enchanted by my body scent?”
“Cut it out! Body scent! It’s just that the smoke and dust inside was too much, and wearing the mask was killing me,” she complained a bit.
Then she saw the milk tea in Cheng Zhu’s hand: “I can’t believe you. Here I am helping you supervise the work, and you’re leisurely buying milk tea!”
“You didn’t tell me you were coming, or else I would have bought one for you. Don’t bother, I’ve already drunk from this one,” Cheng Zhu told her: “Should I send you the money?”
“Hah! Like I’m pining for your milk tea money!” Rich girl Lin Lu felt that Cheng Zhu’s words, both spoken and unspoken, revealed a lack of sincerity.
“I’m so irritated, I won’t come to supervise the work for you tomorrow!” Lin Lu said with a huff.
The next day, Lin Lu really didn’t come.
She was one to keep her word.
Early the next morning, the moment Mr. Chen the contractor arrived at the store, he saw the masked girl.
Everyone was running late to start work, and she seemed a bit unsatisfied.
…
…
Time passed, and five days went by.
In those five days, Lin Lu only missed supervising on the second day.
She liked to record her life, enjoyed taking photos and writing little diaries.
So, she began writing her own diary on supervising the construction.
“Day one of the construction, which is also my first day of supervision. The contractor thought I was amazing, understood a lot, he should see whose daughter I am! Of course, I didn’t tell him my identity, otherwise, he’d know the project he’s working on was outsourced to him by my family’s company.”
Parenthesis: (Cheng Zhu is really annoying, he upset me again today).
…
“Day two of the construction, didn’t go, supervising diary takes a break for a day.”
Parenthesis: (That will teach him, even I have a temper!)
…
“Day three of the construction, my second day of supervision. Today they started laying cables, I really don’t understand this. But never mind, Mr. Chen must have been intimidated by my performance last time. The store has already changed a lot, it’s all beaten up, nothing left that resembles the sushi restaurant before.”
Parenthesis: (I told him today that I was coming to supervise and he didn’t come to keep me company, which made me mad; so I bought myself a cup of milk tea to calm down, but I absolutely can’t drink it tomorrow, I haven’t been maintaining my weight very well recently).
…
“Day four of the construction…”
“Day five of the construction…”
Parenthesis: (He only showed up today to mark his presence! Makes me so mad, is it his store or mine! But at least today he knew to bring a cup of milk tea, that’s progress).
At night, Lin Lu put down her pen and closed her little notebook.
Since Cheng Zhu’s name first appeared in this notebook, these two characters have begun to show up frequently.
But recently, these characters disappeared again, to be precise, the name was no longer seen, it became… unnecessary.
Since only this person has been appearing in this period in this book, his name temporarily lost its meaning.
Lin Lu herself was unaware of this point, as if it had subconsciously happened.
In the notebook, she no longer wrote the word [Cheng Zhu].
Instead, she wrote one after another — [he].
