Chapter 454: Chapter 370: The New Direction of 【Persistent Visit】

"Does Youu Tea really have such a grand plan?" ——[Mo Tea].

...

On Saturday night, the editor in charge of Mo Tea’s official Weibo was utterly bewildered.

Mo Tea’s internet fame wasn’t strong.

Though they had just over a hundred franchises nationwide and the brand was well-known, the editor had an easy job since the official Weibo wasn’t very hot.

Every day, he simply followed orders to post some Weibo entries and conduct some online events.

He didn’t need to rack his brains to create original content, nor did he need to establish a brand persona or create catchy segments; Mo Tea had never placed much emphasis on online marketing.

Additionally, managing the comments and controlling the narrative in the comment section was relatively lax since the active fan base was low anyway.

Lately, though, he was feeling quite pressured.

The higher-ups were taking the new product "Black Sugar Thick Milk" very seriously and actually wanted to invest money in online marketing!

They planned not only to buy hot search spots on Weibo but also to purchase various data points and engage in crazy fan activities!

This made the editor feel like he was suddenly doing something major.

From slacking off daily, he had shifted to working on a massive project.

Just today, the "Weibo Lottery Draw" he was responsible for was giving away a whopping 1,000 cups of Black Sugar Milk Tea vouchers!

Keep in mind, this was still just the preliminary phase; it wasn’t even Monday yet, and the product hadn’t officially launched.

The editor spent the entire day quite cheerfully since people could participate in the lottery by commenting or sharing the promotional post about the new product, so he had endless replies to read through.

"These people are all acting like idiots," he thought.

"It’s drawn directly through Weibo’s lottery system. Writing so much and excessively praising and bootlicking, does that increase your chances of winning?"

Yes, the comments beneath this lottery Weibo were quite varied.

Most were praying to be selected, the most common type.

But some were genuinely praising the milk tea, writing a ton, as if the draw were manually handled, and as if flattering comments could just hand them the vouchers.

The biggest joy for the editor today was reading the comment section, but as he kept looking, one particular comment caught his eye.

Or more precisely, it was the Weibo account that caught his attention.

"Youu Tea?" The editor was slightly stunned.

"It couldn’t be the official account, right?"

He knew very well that their own Black Sugar Milk Tea was a rip-off of Youu Tea.

The reason was simple... netizens from Hang City had pointed it out in the comment section.

He found this quite amusing.

"Buying a slightly more expensive milk tea elevates your class, huh? Became their fan and even defend them?" he thought.

He was just an employee, but he felt, who cares if we copied? What can you do about it?

We have more than a hundred stores nationwide. You only have one in Hang City; what are you in comparison?

But, the account that left the comment seemed... damn it, it really is Youu Tea’s official account, shit!

The comment was: "Looking forward to Monday."

No, what are you looking forward to Monday for?

On Monday, we are launching the new copied version, no, precisely speaking, after copying your product, we even upgraded it internally!

Bro, aren’t you mad?

These few words you typed, do they really represent your brand’s attitude?

It can’t be that the dignified official account just came to enter the lottery, right?

Shit, does Youu Tea have such a grand plan?

The editor suddenly began to feel a bit ashamed.

Looking at their tone, their emotional quotient, their grand plan!

He vaguely felt as if there was a grand vision of milk tea brands joining hands to advance together, create a better tomorrow, and learn from each other.

This editor was very clear that the situation had escalated beyond his control, and this matter had to be reported immediately.

And the result of reporting it was even the big boss, Zhou Jianxiong, was alarmed!

Not only was Zhou Jianxiong alarmed, but he also called for a late-night meeting with company executives and even summoned the PR team.

Shit, what is Cheng Zhu trying to pull at this critical juncture?

Is there a need for PR?

Is there a need for a bit of PR?

No choice, they still had a bit of self-awareness as copycats.

The folks at [Mo Tea] discussed back and forth and realized that aside from making that comment, Youu Tea didn’t really seem to be doing anything else.

"Spooky! It’s too spooky!"

They should be denouncing us for copying, yet they are not panicking.

The PR team already had several plans ready.

But what’s with this "Looking forward to Monday"?

It couldn’t really be... a blessing, could it?

They thoroughly investigated Youu Tea’s current situation and came up with nothing.

It seemed like Youu Tea wasn’t making any significant moves.

This was even more bizarre!

—Is their plan really that grand?

"Nowadays, young people are so impressive!" Brother Xiong thought internally.

A phrase from Youu Tea echoed in his mind: Youu Tea, shaping the new power of Chinese beverages.

Somehow, this time when he recalled this phrase, it tasted differently.

—Great ambition!

At this moment, Zhou Jianxiong even thought, "The 1,000 cups of milk tea giveaway, if it really ends up going to Youu Tea’s official account, wouldn’t that also be an epic tale in the milk tea circle?"

On Saturday night, [Mo Tea] was in turmoil.

And Cheng Zhu was merely typing out four words on Weibo.

...

...

In Shanghai, within Hu Yan’s apartment.

Cheng Zhu laid down his phone after making the comment.

Resting against him as he typed, Hu Yan looked puzzled, not understanding his intentions.

"Not getting it?" Cheng Zhu asked with a smile.

"Yeah," she nodded.

"I’m merely... entering for the milk tea coupons!" Cheng Zhu responded with a grin.

"The draw is on Monday, and I just feel like with my luck, amongst these over twenty thousand responses, I’m definitely going to win! The chances aren’t that low."

Even the somewhat naive female illustrator wouldn’t believe such a silly tale.

Now curious, she began to wonder: "What exactly will happen on Monday?"

As the night deepened, Cheng Zhu mentioned he had work to do, so Hu Yan returned to her desk to continue drawing.

However, she now forbade Cheng Zhu from watching her draw.

The voluptuous artist stated, "Boss, I’ll send them to you once you’re back in Hang City."

Cheng Zhu was indifferent to this arrangement; he occasionally looked towards Hu Yan’s back as she painted, noticing her many quirks.

For instance, her big butt occasionally rubbed against the chair, and her fleshy toes curled up every so often.

She alternated between squatting and sitting while painting.

And every now and then, she sneakily peeked back at Cheng Zhu.

It seemed she was drawing from memories, which made it impossible for her to focus completely.

As for what Cheng Zhu was doing, he was contacting several familiar marketing accounts.

The news media aspect was handled by Pulin Capital, and seeing this setup, it seemed Yue Dongyi was aiming to create a bigger stir.

Clearly, Yue Dongyi was already looking beyond the second or even third rounds of funding.

How much money could be earned from selling milk tea alone was of secondary importance to both parties.

And since capital games were playing out, the first round had to make a significant impact!

Of course, Cheng Zhu, besides reaching out to those marketing accounts, was also chatting with Lin Lu and Chen Jieyu.

The college counselor was easy enough to handle without constant discussions.

The mature urban woman, sensible and independent, knew Cheng Zhu was busy. Having been solitary in her life, she was accustomed to doing things on her own.

Little Lu, as his official girlfriend, was different.

She was someone who needed daily communication.

But Baby Lu was good in one respect; she knew Cheng Zhu was busy, so she never minded whether he replied to her messages immediately.

In this world, a considerable number of young women are profoundly concerned about the promptness of replies.

To some people, if the reply is slow, you are culpable and grievously so!

This causes many guys to pick up their phones and text back their girlfriends as soon as they die in a game.

Girls don’t necessarily need to overthink sometimes.

If your boyfriend replies slowly, it might be because he’s good at the game and doesn’t die often!

Those with hands like feet, who are terrible at games, reply promptly because they respawn frequently.

Cheng Zhu was sharp-minded and capable of multitasking.

Thus, he managed to handle business and chat with women simultaneously without missing either end.

As night deepened further, Cheng Zhu put down his phone and went into the room.

Hu Yan was squatting on the chair, painting, and upon hearing Cheng Zhu’s footsteps, she stopped her work, eager not to let him see her creation.

Cheng Zhu, observing her squatting profile, thought that this plump and voluptuous woman, if wearing those sporty shorts, would certainly present an appealing flavor.

Whether tight or loose, she would surely bring out a distinct style.

"Drawing so intensely you turned your face red and squatting too?" Cheng Zhu approached and bent down towards her, "Boss, I have no seat manners when I work," Hu Yan explained only the latter, not the prior statement.

She was more than just blushing now.

Subsequently, they took turns visiting the restroom to freshen up.

By the time it was almost midnight, though they had agreed to turn off the lights and sleep, the bed soon rustled, and the lights were turned back on shortly after.

This is always how it is between men and women, the romance of the night lies in lights turning off and then back on.

During this process, Cheng Zhu suddenly opened the drawer on Hu Yan’s bedside table.

"Boss, no!" The plump vixen barely had time to intervene.

Her drawer full of colorful toys was now fully visible to Cheng Zhu.

Hu Yan, oh Hu Yan, you are truly a... treasure trove of a girl!

So many treasures at home!

With righteous indignation, he casually picked up one, played with the toy, and spoke in a serious and stern tone, "Our store can’t just sell QQ underwear forever; we’ll launch a new plan next year to market these exquisite small products as well."

Then, Cheng Zhu smiled at her.

That smile immediately let her know how to cooperate.

Cheng Zhu and Hu Yan were truly...

——"Smile and Open"

Soon enough, Hu Yan’s eyes were glittering, and her hands occasionally tried to stop him, but he brushed them away each time.

"When the time comes, I’ll give you a part-time job too; you are absolutely perfect to be the chief experience officer," Cheng Zhu was serious about this and believed there was no one more suitable than Hu Yan for this role around him.

He was confident that with the right tactics, they could not only achieve over a hundred million in sales but could even create the first well-known QQ toy brand in the country!

Of course, that would require a deep strategy, a special trick.

Though it was still a QQ category, the approach would certainly differ from when selling QQ underwear.

Cheng Zhu was planning to use a new model, a very special model.

"From now on, write me a feedback report for every product," he said firmly to Hu Yan.

"The new year will bring in more money, my little gold digger, happy?" the financial backer Daddy asked.

"Happy... happy," the humble Beta replied.
