Force me to be reborn, right?

Chapter 336 Confirming the relationship with Lin Lu

Cheng Zhu was standing outside the restaurant, but he hadn't called a designated driver yet.

After his rebirth, his smoking addiction was not as strong as in his previous life. He would smoke when he was socializing with others, but rarely when he was alone.

At this moment, he took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The fire flickered in the night, and he faced the night wind. Suddenly, he felt a little drunk.

Cheng Zhu blew out a smoke ring and then shook his head slightly.

After finishing a cigarette, I managed to suppress the somewhat complicated emotions in my heart.

Tonight, Cheng Zhu was actually feeling a little irritated.

He took out his cell phone and called a designated driver.

I didn't expect it was a female driver.

Many years later, it seems that the so-called designated driver did appear.

But overall, there are still relatively few women who work as designated drivers, riding small vehicles in wind and rain.

After arriving at Xinhang Apartment, Cheng Zhu looked at his phone. It was actually still early, only nine o'clock in the evening.

After paying the designated driver, he went upstairs and returned to his rental house.

After taking out the laptop from his computer bag, Cheng Zhu poured himself a cup of hot water while turning on the computer.

Then, he began to write in detail the first draft of the specific cooperation matters which would be sent to Shen Minglang later.

This involves his rights and obligations.

In his heart, he named this plan: "Kidnapping" the Shen family plan.

But in fact, the people to be "kidnapped" were Shen Qingning first and Shen's father second. It seemed that they signed a contract with Shen Minglang, but he was just a bonus.

When Cheng Zhu finished writing, it was already late at night.

Since this thing was for Shen Minglang to read, he tried to make it as easy to understand as possible.

As for the contract, we will find a professional to handle it when the time comes.

After finishing all this, Cheng Zhu looked through it himself and was very satisfied.

This also paves the way for subsequent financing.

Financing is easy for some people, but difficult for others.

Some talented people, with nothing, can easily raise hundreds of millions of dollars by making a PPT and talking.

Cheng Zhu now has another very successful store.

If he tells the story of high-end internet celebrity milk tea to investors, he will definitely tell it beautifully.

In fact, it is indeed very promising and is not just empty talk.

Just like what Lei Jun said in the interview: "As long as you run your company well, investors will come to you, because professional VCs and professional PEs have to invest their money. Investing money is their job, and they are looking for opportunities to make money every day."

"So, it's easier for them to come to you than for you to go to them."

This coincides with Cheng Zhu's idea.

One advantage of high-end internet celebrity milk tea shops is that they are very popular on the Internet and have high traffic, so it is easier for them to enter the vision of more people.

These investors are much more perceptive than ordinary people, and they know better than anyone else that the next few years will be years of very rapid growth in domestic high-end consumption!

Of course, Lei Jun also specifically mentioned one point in this interview, which is when you need to seek financing.

Is it when you have no money?

No, it's when you've only spent half of the money.

Lei Jun: "When you have no money on your books, it is the most painful time for you to raise funds. You have almost no bargaining power, because if he doesn't give you money tomorrow, you will die the day after tomorrow. What bargaining power do you have?"

"So the trick to finding money is that you have a lot of money in your account to find it."

“So this world is very complicated. Only if you have money can you raise money.”

“Isn’t it like a paradox?”

These may all be Lei Jun's experiences. He also cited his own example of Xiaomi, saying that someone wanted to invest in him, but he said he didn't need it and he still had money, so he directly refused.

The person then asked when the next round of financing would be and how much money was planned to be raised.

Lei Jun said he plans to raise $40 billion by the end of the year.

The man said directly: How about this, I will give you 40 billion US dollars today.

On the other hand, [Yuzu Tea] only has one store now, but its momentum can be said to be terrifying. The data of a single store can definitely beat any traditional milk tea shop in the country. No one can compete with it, and the gap is huge!
Besides that, does Cheng Zhu have money in his pocket?
Are you kidding? He is a QQ tycoon and earns a lot of money every month!

What's more, the Shen family is also very rich.

Only when you have confidence can you talk.

Do you think it is difficult for Cheng Zhu to raise funds?
But what he was thinking was, it’s not me who should be chosen by others, but me who should be chosen by others.

The next day, Cheng Zhu got up early.

He has a mission today.

"It's Saturday. I'm going to take Xiao Youzi out for some [Youzi tea] and then treat her to pizza."

What made him feel a little strange was that Lin Lu seemed to talk less today. She just said good morning to him, but did not share even the smallest things with him like she did in the past.

For example, what did you eat for breakfast, or did you lose any hair when you washed your hair this morning.

"Saying good morning means nothing serious has happened."

"But he suddenly became much quieter, so he must be a little emotional." Cheng Zhu guessed in his heart.

Of course, he could probably guess where Lin Lu's little emotion came from.

It’s really easy to guess what this energetic girl is thinking.

But he deliberately didn't point it out, nor did he deliberately go to find her, and chose to play dead first.

After getting up and washing, Cheng Zhu first did some simple morning exercises at home, and then quickly ate two pieces of whole wheat bread in the rental house.

It's quite cold outside today, and there is a layer of frost on the car windows.

He was not in a hurry to pick up his sister. He first went to the studio of [Insist on Visiting] and took care of the business.

Then, Cheng Zhucai drove to the fresh food supermarket opened by his family to pick up the little princess.

He let Xiao Youzi sit in the back seat and fasten her seat belt.

Before driving, he thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Little Pomelo, do you miss your sister Xiaolu?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely!" Cheng You immediately raised her hand, just like she was speaking up in class. "Then I'll take a photo of you and see if your sister Xiaolu will come to see me just because of you after seeing the photo." Cheng Zhu smiled and picked up the phone.

Little Youzi immediately made a cute face towards the camera, and his chubby little face wrinkled up like a steamed bun.

After taking the photos, Cheng Zhu started posting them on his Moments, and set the content to be visible only to Lin Lu.

He also typed a caption for the photo: Taking the little princess to eat pizza and drink milk tea!
Humph, the circle of friends is something that many people use to fish!
This is also why many people post less on WeChat Moments when they start dating, but post a lot more when they break up.

Along the way, Cheng Zhu asked, "Xiao Youzi, do you have a New Year's Day performance?"

"Yeah, that's right!" The little girl sitting in the back seat nodded.

It's strange that after children put on seat belts, the seat belts will look like decorations, making the children look even more adorable.

"So what are your plans?" Cheng Zhu asked with a smile.

"Yes, our class is dancing." Xiao Youzi replied.

When Cheng Zhu heard this, he could already imagine her clown face at that time.

He actually never understood why many kindergartens held art performances and liked to put makeup on children, but the makeup they made was very ugly.

The children are all so cute, why do they have to draw on their faces?

After arriving at Starlight City, Cheng Zhu first took her to eat pizza.

The little girl held a piece of pizza that was almost the same size as her face in her two little hands and ate it very happily.

"Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

It's just that she often looks around while eating pizza.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Zhu wondered.

"I'm looking for Sister Xiaolu." Little Youzi answered as a matter of course.

"I didn't say she would definitely come." Cheng Zhu smiled.

"Impossible!" Cheng You immediately retorted: "She must miss me terribly too!"

Yes, very confident, like me.

As a result, she finished her pizza, Lin Lu didn't show up, and Cheng Zhu's phone was silent.

"Wipe your hands and mouth, I'll take you to drink milk tea." Cheng Zhu said.

When the brother and sister took the elevator to the milk tea shop on the first floor, the sharp-eyed little Youzi spotted Lin Lu queuing in the queue at a glance.

Yes, she came to Starlight City, and Lin Lu came angrily.

"How annoying! Cheng Zhu is such an annoying person!"

"I've already told him that he has to give me an answer after my birthday!"

"He obviously agreed to it, right?"

"But now another day has passed and he still hasn't told me!"

"This bad guy must be thinking that I will ask him first, and then he will act arrogantly and agree to it reluctantly, with an expression that says I really can't do anything to you. What a jerk!"

"How could I not understand him?"

"Humph, he held my hand, hugged me, and took my first kiss, but he didn't take the initiative at all, what a scumbag! Bah, bah, bah!"

This is why Lin Lu only said good morning in the morning.

——Let me show you the power of my cold violence!
But after seeing Cheng Zhu’s circle of friends, she began to feel conflicted.

Today is Saturday, and it's a rare occasion that I don't have to go to class.

I just confessed my feelings to a boy and we had some intimate contact. A normal girl would definitely want to go on a date on the weekend.

So, while she was using "cold violence" on Cheng Zhu, she was putting on makeup and picking clothes at home, and then she began to endure and not go to see him.

My cold violence is patience!
This made her drive to Starlight City after seeing the circle of friends.

I'm not here to see him, I'm just craving for milk tea.

Even if I met him, I came to see Xiao Youzi.

I haven't seen her for a long time. She must miss me too.

As a result, the longer Lin Lu waited in line at [Yuzu Tea], the angrier he became.

In her heart, all she and Cheng Zhu lacked was a sense of ritual in which they acknowledged each other's relationship.

After all, they kissed, and he was the one who took the initiative, what a pervert.

Well, rounding it off, I am at least half the boss lady of [Yuzu Tea].

It's ridiculous that the boss lady has to queue up to drink milk tea!
In fact, the clerk at the cashier counter had already noticed the extremely eye-catching beautiful girl in the crowd.

"Isn't this the girl who often comes to see the boss? Why did she come alone today?"

Of course, although the queuing process was painful, it also allowed her to wait for Cheng Zhu and Xiao Youzi here naturally.

She had calculated the time and thought the pizza would be almost finished.

Sure enough, she was waiting for it.

When Xiao Youzi saw her, she also saw the little girl.

Now that's great, the lively little girl meets the energetic girl.

The kid didn't care about that and just waved and shouted, "Sister Xiaolu! I'm here!"

Lin Lu immediately looked at her in surprise, as if she had not expected to meet Xiao Youzi here. Her acting was so exaggerated that she could only be a behind-the-scenes dubbing artist.

She was halfway through the queue and just gave up.

What else is there to arrange?

She walked quickly towards Xiao Youzi, then deliberately ignored Cheng Zhu with her eyes and ignored him, as if he was air.

"Hello, little Yuzi! Hello!" It's another signature way of greeting.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Cheng Zhu grabbed her wrist, and then she heard words that made her little head buzz, and her heart skipped a beat.

Cheng Zhu looked at her with his naturally slightly raised eyebrows frowning, his expression full of displeasure, and his tone full of dissatisfaction:

"You don't even say hello to your boyfriend when you see him?"
