Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 503 - 404: Male and Female Toy Producers

Chapter 503: Chapter 404: Male and Female Toy Producers

"Hahaha!" Zhu Youwei burst into laughter, listening to Cheng Zhu’s scoffing and words.

Right! Couldn’t agree more!

Zhu Youwei had been thinking that with the great atmosphere at today’s dinner table and with Susu’s knack for handling things, there would definitely be some progress.

But after hearing Cheng Zhu’s words and remembering Zhang Sixing’s "loser" demeanor, he truly felt that nothing would happen tonight!

Some men are just that interesting.

Playing the noble card at a time like this, what’s the point?

So, your charisma can’t be displayed after you’ve slept with someone?

The funniest part is that deep down, these people are the ones who don’t dare to be proactive, the very passive type.

But when the other party finally takes initiative, they end up missing the opportunity.

Zhu Youwei snuffed out his cigarette in his hand and cursed with a laugh, "I was thinking of making a bet with you, damn it, now I’m a bit scared to."

Cheng Zhu waved his hand dismissively and after putting out his cigarette, flicked the butt into the trash.

"These two ’teammates’ of mine, could you give Brother Zhu a hand and see them off?" Cheng Zhu was referring to the two little internet celebrities sitting beside him in the private room.

"What are you sending them off for, tell them to hail a cab themselves," Zhu Youwei said, also nonchalantly waving his hand.

At this point, the designated drivers arrived.

As Cheng Zhu was about to get into the car, several little internet celebrities who hadn’t added him on WeChat also came over to ask for his contact.

He felt they had worked hard tonight, so he didn’t refuse anyone.

He was well aware that having his WeChat could become a talking point for them in the Hang City internet celebrity circle.

When you reach a certain stage, it’s like this. The fact that others have a friend slot with you is something they can’t help but show off a little.

The key is how you will be portrayed in their stories.

...

...

In the days before the Lantern Festival, Cheng Zhu and Zhang Sixing were basically together the entire time.

During the day, they met up to talk in detail about the short video platform project, and occasionally at night, he would take him out to have some fun.

By day he was an employer, by night a godfather.

He could distinctly feel that Zhang Sixing had perked up a bit compared to before.

Of course, nothing happened that night, but afterwards, Susu reached out every day to chat with him, and occasionally they’d all get together for a night out.

Cheng Zhu guessed that what Zhang Sixing was probably thinking in his heart was: "Good thing I didn’t do anything after drinking, she must realize that I am a good guy."

Motherfucker, he’s probably still patting himself on the back for that!

But like last night’s dinner party, Cheng Zhu had specifically told Zhu Youwei not to bring Susu along today, to invite a new batch of people to hang out.

With Sixing’s personality, just a little bit of experience could have him hooked.

But what’s interesting is that when a man is being courted by several girls he’s interested in at the same time, his mentality might start to subtly change, unnoticed.

He begins to see himself as the one making the choices.

Of course, this was also thanks to the foundations Cheng Zhu had laid.

The girls were very forward with Zhang Sixing, and there had been plenty of physical contacts.

Only under these circumstances could such a change in mindset occur.

If you’re just a "bootlicker" for several goddesses, it’s useless.

The saying "licking more isn’t bootlicking" is nothing but self-deception.

In the eyes of others, a dog will always be a dog, and in this case, an unfaithful, despicable one at that.

If you don’t get your mindset right, even if you do start dating, it’s all in vain. That submissive and lowly attitude will only lead to suffering later on.

After these days of interaction, Zhang Sixing now had two thoughts.

The first: I’m set on this company!

His initial mindset was that since his parents insisted he find a job, he’d look for one that was different from before, one where he could have fulfilling days, be happier, and not as miserable.

Now though he was still working with computers, hanging out with Cheng Zhu was comfortable.

The second: The company wasn’t as hopeless as I had initially thought.

The more he interacted with Cheng Zhu, the more he realized how mature the younger man’s ideas were!

Whether it could withstand the market test was another matter, but at least he wasn’t the kind to just dive in headfirst without thinking.

He even felt that it was more complete, mature, and comprehensive than the foreign short video app—Musical.ly—he had heard about before!

The day before the Lantern Festival, Chen Jieyu was invited to Dean Zhang’s house for dinner.

After dinner, she sent a WeChat message to Cheng Zhu.

"The dean and the teacher seem to be in much better spirits these past few days, feeling that their son has come out of the gloom a little."

"If it weren’t for me!" Cheng Zhu immediately bragged.

Of course, Cheng Zhu was so attentive to Zhang Sixing partly because he truly valued technical talent, and partly because the other party was Dean Zhang’s son.

If it weren’t for this relationship, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

"It’s not like he seriously calls me godfather, and it’s not like we’ve replayed the classic scene from ’Three Kingdoms’ in real life," he thought to himself.

Of course, Cheng Zhu believed that whether a person can really change depends on their own fate.

Like him and Zhu Youwei sending girls to hang out with Zhang Sixing, rounding off, it’s somewhat a light version of "just following the master’s orders."

It’s not that severe, but still somewhat brushes on it.

...

...

Time passed, and the holiday season just flew by.

Zhang Sixing, as initially agreed, called over two acquaintances to work with him.

The rest of the staff could be recruited through the normal market.

Once the team was established, it was time to get the short video platform rolling.

As for the 18 Youu Tea stores, they were steadily progressing.

Shen Minglang also began flying all over the country, continuing to build the supply chain.

Cheng Zhu took time to visit Guan Yun County with Wang Anquan.

Part of it was to inspect the factory they were continuously expanding before the New Year, and the other reason was that Persistent Visit was setting up a new factory.

The product they’d be selling was, of course, the toy category expansion they had in mind from the start—QQ toys.

And this new factory would launch with a full range of products, not just one.

Girls use our products, we produce them!

Boys use our products, we produce them too!

It’s all about equality and fairness, sharing the benefits equally.

As soon as Cheng Zhu and Wang Anquan arrived in Guan Yun, Mr. Chen, the middle-aged factory manager, said he wanted to entertain them.

Dinner at a fancy restaurant, play at a grand clubhouse at night!

Cheng Zhu kept refusing, "No more, I’m done. I’ve been drinking so much during the holidays that I’ve turned my brain to mush."

Wang Anquan listened, confused: "???"

Brother Zhu, am I not your favorite little brother anymore?

Holy shit, you never called me even once?

Cheng Zhu glanced at him, seeing through his thoughts with a look, and cursed jokingly: "It’s business, understand?"

"Got it!" Wang Anquan nodded repeatedly.

Then, led by Chen Bin, they went to the QQ lingerie factory.

Cheng Zhu, as the big boss, walked around the factory with his hands behind his back, receiving salutes from a crowd of factory workers.

Guan Yun had its own special reasons for not lacking skilled textile workers.

This was one of its natural advantages to become the future world capital of QQ lingerie.

These artisans needed to be cultivated over time.

In some places, there’s no suitable business because there just isn’t enough of the right kind of labor.

Many young people don’t want to learn, and even if they do, they’re not as skilled as this group.

These women might not all be pretty, but to Cheng Zhu, they were all beautiful!

After inspecting the QQ lingerie factory, Cheng Zhu drove in Chen Bin’s Mercedes to the new Persistent Visit factory.

After arriving, Wang Anquan was again reminded of the summer after graduating from high school when Cheng Zhu took him to Guan Yun County.

Standing in the corner, this fresh high school graduate didn’t dare enter the factory that sold QQ lingerie.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zhu was already getting hands-on, rubbing the fabric between his fingers.

Now, the scene was somewhat repeating itself.

Wang Anquan stared at the heap of samples on the table, dumbfounded, while Cheng Zhu had already picked one up, switched it on, and cranked it to the max setting.

The unsettling sound began to resonate.

"Wow, this little thing has some kick to it!" Cheng Zhu exclaimed joyfully.

The pink QQ toy made his two fingers tremble slightly with its movement.

Satisfied with it, he even wanted to take a few back with him.

"My slightly chubby fox would probably like these," he thought to himself.

Then, he picked up a men’s toy and looked inside closely, his eyes nearly touching it, as if trying to make out every detail.

Wang Anquan watched, stupefied.

The image was just too powerful.

Although the student felt he had progressed a lot, he still couldn’t do such a thing in front of everyone.

"He’s looking so earnest, so meticulous..."

In Cheng Zhu’s view, this was the most basic quality of a businessman.

After examining the factory and samples, Chen Bin led the two to the office.

Cheng Zhu flopped down in the main seat, then praised Chen Bin:

"Mr. Chen is doing well, completing the tasks I’ve assigned perfectly. Having you in Guan Yun, I’m very reassured."

They used to have a partnership, so he would call him Brother Bin, but now with their employer-employee relationship, Chen Bin wouldn’t dare respond to that.

Sitting in his chair, he glanced at Chen Bin and Wang Anquan, saying: "For the toy factory, we will definitely be selling our products online."

"But this requires some special operations. We’ll need to establish a new department here. I’ll send you a document later with the details explained."

"This year, the goal for the toy factory is to do good brand promotion and build a well-known QQ toy brand in China!" Cheng Zhu spoke with grand ambition.

But Wang Anquan and Chen Bin were a bit taken aback.

They were industry veterans and knew that QQ toys were harder to promote than QQ lingerie.

For example, photos of QQ lingerie can appear on many social media platforms, but toys are often censored.

It would be tough to replicate the old factory’s path for the new one.

Cheng Zhu noticed their slightly confused looks and suddenly laughed.

"I know what you’re thinking. Such products definitely can’t have their ads run, and even many forms of soft marketing are difficult."

"Building a renowned brand would be very, very challenging, even harder than those family planning products."

"But what if I said I could use someone else’s money to advertise our brand?"

Wang Anquan and Chen Bin looked at each other in bewilderment.

How is that possible?
