Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 464 - 378 Torment the Arrogant to Death

Chapter 464: Chapter 378 Torment the Arrogant to Death

The next day, Cheng Zhu got up early.

Today, he was almost certainly going to skip class again.

He couldn’t return to the school for the time being, as there were too many media reporters around.

These people wouldn’t give up just because they didn’t block him yesterday.

"No choice, who made me so popular now?" Cheng Zhu stretched and yawned.

Thanks to his identity as a first-year student, he was now very popular across the internet.

The trending search term also managed to rise to the third spot on the hot search list, even higher than some celebrity searches.

If he went back to Technology University these days, he’d probably be annoyed to death by the media.

The three troublemakers from dorm room 309 kept sending Cheng Zhu WeChat messages last night, saying in the group chat that they had all been interviewed.

Liu Feng and Zheng Qingfeng were reliable people, only Dong Dong from their dorm was unreliable.

But Cheng Zhu had warned him that day not to talk nonsense, and he was sensible enough to only act like an attention-seeker in front of the media, which didn’t cause much negative impact.

On the contrary, at ten o’clock in the morning, Cheng Zhu received a call from his mother, Xu Yun, asking about the news.

"Oh my dear mom, you’re a bit behind with the news, aren’t you?" Cheng Zhu laughed on the phone.

"How could you, such a scoundrel, not tell your dad and me about such a big matter?"

A hundred million! This is a hundred million!

Although they knew their son was making good money now, they didn’t really have a concept of how much he had actually made.

But this news was truly shocking.

"I was planning to surprise you, wasn’t I?" said Cheng Zhu.

"Surprise? More like a fright!" Xu Yun said irritably; she thought she was dreaming when she heard the news.

Cheng Zhu loved these moments of showing off in front of his family.

He picked up the phone and slowly said, "I had already mentioned at home that I wanted to open a milk tea shop for Little Youzi."

"But I never said I would only open one."

...

...

Outside of Star City, Zhou Guodong, known as President Guo, the super franchisee, stood in front of the giant LED screen, a bit lost in thought.

He had never imagined that Youu Tea, the business he initially wanted to join forcefully, could achieve such success!

At first, he even had thoughts of joining the team and then trying to figure out the mindset of this young boss.

Little did he know that in Cheng Zhu’s mind, not to mention getting a ticket to the show, you didn’t even have the right to "tell him a story."

Please, just a super franchisee coming to promote his presence and asking people to hand out business cards.

What are you bouncing up and down for here?

You think you’re at such a level that I should contact you proactively?

Love being a clown, do you?

At this moment, in front of Youu Tea, many customers were queuing up to buy milk tea, the line even longer than usual.

In addition, a large number of media reporters were on the scene to get footage, and some were interviewing customers.

This scene was something Zhou Guodong had never seen before in his time operating milk tea shops.

He had never seen so many customers in front of any milk tea brand, not to mention this terrifying sight of media from all sides swarming in!

But human nature is so strange; even though he had no direct contact with Cheng Zhu, resentment rose in his heart.

"Let’s go back to my shop and see how the sale of Black Sugar Thick Milk is going today," thought Zhou Guodong.

Arriving at the Mo Tea shop closest to Star City, he witnessed a bizarre scene.

He saw in the queue a familiar figure.

"Cheng Zhu?" Zhou Guodong was astonished.

He and Zhou Jianxiong had watched him throw almost a full bottle of Black Sugar Bump Milk in the trash bin before.

So why was he buying Black Sugar Thick Milk again today?

"Sure enough, you still see Mo Tea as a competitor, feeling a sense of urgency about Mo Tea’s strategy to take the lead in the black sugar market!"

"So eager to understand the quality control of Mo Tea?"

Zhou Guodong felt this was the only possibility, otherwise, it was inexplicable.

With this thought, the super franchisee who had several Mo Tea shops just in Hang City and more in surrounding cities felt a bit more comfortable in his mind.

Anyway, you’re going to contribute some money to me!

Relying on his ability to recognize Cheng Zhu, while Cheng Zhu wouldn’t recognize him, he walked into the shop and observed closely.

When Cheng Zhu’s turn came, he was sure he would order a Black Sugar Thick Milk.

Sure enough, Cheng Zhu spoke to the staff: "One cup of Black Sugar Thick Milk, hot, fifty percent sweetness."

Then he continued, "With a voucher."

At this moment, Zhou Guodong was dumbfounded.

"Wait, where did you get that voucher from?"

"You won it in an event!?"

What’s going on, how could he win a prize!?

And when Cheng Zhu got his milk tea, he immediately took a sip and gave his evaluation.

His words infuriated President Guo, who screamed curses in his heart.

"The taste is slightly better than the original Black Sugar Bump Milk."

"Fair enough."

"The free milk tea indeed smells a bit more fragrant, haha!"

...

...

In the afternoon, Shen Qingning, the long-legged campus belle of Technology University, who hadn’t appeared there for quite some time, drove her Land Rover into the campus.

Like Cheng Zhu, she had taken leave for many days, and today she had promised Lin Lu to attend class together.

She had been feeling a bit restless the entire day.

To be precise, she had insomnia last night.

After trying unsuccessfully to sleep, she simply sat up in bed reading romance novels with plots of heartache until she fell asleep at some unknown hour.

"60 million, put 40 million under my name, and 20 million under my brother’s."

This was the distribution made by Mr. Shen, Shen Guoqiang.

She wasn’t clear whether joining Youu Tea was a good thing or not.

It meant that she might have to come into contact with Cheng Zhu due to work-related matters.

But anyway, the two of them now seemed to be in a cold war, which might be an opportunity to break the ice.

"Sigh, but Lu Lu confessed to him."

"If that day... that day he asked me those questions, if I’d been a bit more honest..." Shen Qingning shook her head, focused on driving, and stopped her wandering thoughts.

Why would there be situations that could be redone in this world?

Her Land Rover reversed into the parking space; Shen Qingning got out of the car with her bag and headed for the classroom.

Upon entering, she saw Lin Lu waving at her.

As usual, she had saved a seat for Ningning.

Shen Qingning felt complicated but appeared as calm as ever, sitting down silently beside her as she used to.

But the voice actress wasn’t going to let her off the hook and immediately revealed her usual "nasty face," teasing with her super A sisterly voice, "Ningning’s wife, have you missed me these past few days?"

"No." the cool girl answered decisively.

"Got it, you missed me a lot." Lin Lu said with a smile.

Shen Qingning found her helpless.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I’ll tell you the specifics when we have dinner tonight, hehe!"

Once the class started, they stopped chatting.

But Shen Qingning noticed Lin Lu’s phone on the desk lit up from time to time, indicating incoming WeChat messages.

"Is it with him?" she thought, feeling a sour twist in her heart.

After class, they first went to buy some fruits as they had run out at home.

Then, they headed to the restaurant chosen by Lin Lu.

Little Lu liked to check in and try dishes at various restaurants, so when this pair of best friends went out to eat, she was always the one to pick the place.

After arriving at a French restaurant, Lin Lu started ordering.

While eating, she was curious about Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang’s trip to Yun Province.

Shen Qingning briefly shared with her.

"Basically what I did there is just what I told you."

"However, the trip was quite fruitful, and I learned more about the new model of the milk tea industry."

There was something she hadn’t told Lin Lu.

"I’ve also increasingly realized just how ambitious Cheng Zhu is!"

She could sense that he was planning to overturn the entire traditional milk tea industry!

In Shen Qingning’s view, most people in this world just go with the flow.

To notice the upcoming trend and follow it in time, doing whatever makes money, is already quite difficult.

Not to mention someone like Cheng Zhu, who single-handedly creates a new model.

"Especially when his entire set of ideas are quite mature, diligently executed, and seem highly feasible." That was the most shocking part for her.

Ideally, you would be testing the waters, figuring things out.

But he seemed to have a plan in mind, not just for what to do this year, but for the next and beyond!

"Can a person’s vision really be so far-reaching?" she wondered.

This trip to Yun Province made her recognize more deeply certain charms in Cheng Zhu.

Charms that none of her peers possessed.

Listening to Ningning’s story, Lin Lu finally nodded heavily and said, "You’ve worked hard. I’ve told him that when you come back this time, you must be well rewarded!"

"Uh." Shen Qingning blinked.

Rewarded me?

"He’s not even talking to me now..." she thought to herself.

Of course, given the tsundere girl’s personality, she wouldn’t actively seek out Cheng Zhu for the time being.

She was quite stubborn.

A girl who couldn’t help but take a step back when others advanced, for her, taking the initiative was incredibly difficult.

But in her heart, she always hoped that Cheng Zhu would come to find her, even if it was just with some lame excuse.

Shen Qingning looked at Lin Lu and after thinking for a moment, she shared the news about her family wanting to invest in Youu Tea with her.

In her view, Lin Lu would know about it sooner or later.

"That’s great!" Little Lu’s eyes immediately sparkled.

Best friends joining her boyfriend’s brand!

Everyone would be one big happy family! Yay, yay!

—Blood Relatives.

In Lin Lu’s heart, Ningning was much smarter than herself and had a good business sense.

If she joined the Youu Tea team, she could definitely become Cheng Zhu’s right-hand woman, his...competent lieutenant!

Shen Qingning watched the excited Lu Lu, at a loss for what to say.

In the end, she just said, "Didn’t you say, you have something to tell me over dinner?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" exclaimed Lin Lu, even more energetic.

She began pouring juice into Shen Qingning’s flute glass and a little into her own, preparing to clink glasses to raise the sense of ritual.

"Ningning, I haven’t told anyone else about this yet; I wanted to tell you first," Lin Lu said.

But at the moment of speaking, the normally breezy and enthusiastic girl became a little shy, her face blushing adorably.

The matter of her liking Cheng Zhu, she had first told Ningning.

Later, when she confessed to Cheng Zhu, she also told Ningning first.

Now that she was with her crush, of course, she had to tell her first.

Lin Lu raised her flute glass filled with juice and said, "Ningning, I’m together with Cheng Zhu now!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingning stiffly raised her flute glass and clinked it with Lin Lu’s.

Her expression became a bit wooden, even colder.

The glasses collided, making a sound.

It was a crisp sound, as if something had shattered.

(ps: Seeking monthly tickets at the end of the month.

I’m about to head out to the Yuewen IP Grand Ceremony, and it will probably end very late tonight, so tired.....)
