Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 376 Two Prime Shops (4K)

Although Zeng Wenjie goes to bed late, he still gets up very early.

It wasn't just Mu Qingyang who gained some weight during the New Year; he did too. After all, drinking baijiu and eating all sorts of big meals can easily lead to excessive calorie intake. When you pulled up his shirt, the outline of his six-pack abs wasn't as obvious anymore.

Zeng Mi did not reply to the message before going to bed.

However, Zeng Wenjie believes that not refusing actually means she really wanted to agree; it's just that she was still struggling with the decision.

With just a little push, Zeng Mi could be persuaded to turn against him and join his side.

This is also a good thing for Zeng Mi. At least she won't have to face the fate of dying young. Going to jail is better than dying.

Zeng Wenjie did it for himself, but also to save Zeng Mi.

He could only console himself with this thought, considering it a form of mutual redemption.

When I jogged to the playground, I saw Mu Qingyang hanging upside down on the horizontal bar. She had her hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing an Under Armour tracksuit, doing ab crunches upside down.

The fact that Mu Qingyang could easily throw Zeng Wenjie, a tall man of 1.8 meters, shows that her core strength must be considerable. In any case, Zeng Wenjie had seen her abs and her not-so-obvious abdominal muscles...

If you put Mu Qingyang in Attack on Titan, he'd be another perfect Mikasa.

Mu Qingyang waved to Zeng Wenjie while hanging upside down and said, "Boyfriend, come on, let's exercise together!"

Zeng Wenjie also hung himself up, and after rolling it a few times, he felt really tired, but Mu Qingyang beside him kept going, so he couldn't stop either.

"Holy crap, the core power is this good." Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, admitting defeat.

After half an hour of strength training, the two walked briskly along the track.

Some college students who were exercising in the morning were cursing inwardly when they saw the two exercising together. They never expected to encounter a dog so early in the morning!

Compared to those foolish college students who buried themselves in hard work, Zeng Wenjie and Mu Qingyang felt much more relaxed, even enjoying it.

Mu Qingyang turned to look at Zeng Wenjie, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask, "Still worried about that thing from last time?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "There's nothing to worry about. That Luo Xin is nothing. He'll be going in soon and won't pose a threat to me."

Mu Qingyang said, "Oh... the barbecue last night was delicious. The pork belly must have been really satisfying."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Pork belly, beef brisket fat, lamb skewers, and grilled eggplant are all delicious, but it's a pity you don't dare to eat them."

Mu Qingyang waved his hand angrily and said, "Give me a month, and I'll eat twice as much as I want back!"

After returning to school, she began to control her diet, which was indeed a bit difficult for a foodie.

After their workout, Mu Qingyang, as usual, went to the cafeteria to eat steamed buns and boiled eggs, while Zeng Wenjie was less particular and went straight for noodles, adding braised pork chops and two fried meat patties.

Mu Qingyang regretted that he shouldn't have been so indulgent during the New Year; otherwise, he wouldn't be suffering like this now.

But Grandma's cooking is really delicious...

Thinking of this, she started to miss the unique Eight Bowls again!
"It's the same for now, don't go out. Anyway, it's just the beginning of the semester, so just stay at school. I'll take you out to play after I've finished taking care of things," Zeng Wenjie instructed.

Caution prevents major mistakes, while carelessness can lead to disaster.

Once people's hearts turn dark, there's nothing they won't do.

Zeng Wenjie was also afraid that Luo Xin, who had been splashed with wine, might do something heinous. After all, Mu Qingyang was conspicuous and too easy for these idiots to have evil thoughts.

Mu Qingyang nodded obediently and said, "Then you must help me make up for the times I missed."

While escorting Mu Qingyang to class, they ran into their advisor, Li Jiaqiang.

When Old Li saw Zeng Wenjie, he smiled broadly and kept patting him on the shoulder, saying, "Wenjie, the director from Tencent is here! How is he? Easy to get along with?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "He's easy to get along with. I got him drunk yesterday, and he just woke up and is on his way to the startup base."

Li Jiaqiang said, "Although it's a card game, it's a project in collaboration with Tencent, so we must do it well. Reputation is very important!"

Zeng Wenjie clicked his tongue. It's hard to say. Why does everyone think that "Hero Kill" is a terrible game? Saying it's terrible is a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like it's just average!
Whether it's the major news media outlets that are paying attention, or some game companies, or even the leaders of Fengyuan, they all feel that this is definitely a game that is unlikely to have a great impact, belonging to the mediocre category.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but complain when he thought of this. It was all because Fengyuan was too weak, ranking in the middle to lower tier of second-tier universities. The leaders were ashamed of themselves and assumed that any project that Tencent kept in Fengyuan must not be any good.

Little did they know that after the release of "Happy Landlords", the senior executives of Tencent Games were already very much looking forward to "Hero Kill".

Everyone was hoping that Zeng Wenjie would finish making it quickly, then send all the struggling game arcades on the market to their graves, and then release some skins to make a fortune.

"Only children make choices. I want both reputation and results!" Zeng Wenjie stood next to Li Jiaqiang, stretched out his right hand, and shook it firmly in front of him.

After saying that, he turned around and went to play with his yo-yo.

Li Jiaqiang was taken aback, then laughed helplessly. It wasn't that he wanted to diminish his own prestige, but what kind of game could a small Fengyuan make that would shock the whole country?
He just thought Zeng Wenjie had too high expectations. If he failed, he would have to give him a good talking-to. After all, it was already a remarkable thing that Tencent kept the project at Fengyuan!
Moreover, once the project is completed, Zeng Wenjie's name will become one of the benchmarks of the School of Wind and Rain.

Zeng Wenjie went to the snack shop and called Ye Qiansheng out.

The snack shop did well today, but it wasn't as bustling as it was last year. Perhaps the buzz from the interview and "The Voice of China" has faded a bit.

Ye Qiansheng glared at Zeng Wenjie with obvious displeasure and said, "You damn capitalist, what do you want me to do now?!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Oh, we were originally going to do some branch site selection, but you seemed a little reluctant, so let's forget about it and go another day."

Ye Qiansheng immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Boss, you should have said you were going to open a branch earlier! Why would I be unwilling? You are the boss, and I am the employee. I would be willing to work even if it meant being asked to!"

Zeng Wenjie waved to Fu Qianzhu and said, "Senior, you're coming with me too."

Fu Qianzhu was taken aback, then pointed to herself and said, "Me?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Let Brother Ye stay and watch the shop."

Ye Qiansheng was furious and instinctively wanted to swear, but he held back and said with a forced smile, "Boss, you've done something wrong!"

Zeng Wenjie then stopped teasing him and hailed a taxi on the roadside to take the two of them there.

Driving yourself is troublesome; not only is there traffic congestion, but you also have to find a place to park. Taking a taxi is much more convenient.

Traffic jams are an extremely frustrating experience for drivers.

Upon arrival, Xue Xiangyao was already waiting there.

Ye Qiansheng glanced at Zeng Wenjie and said, "Wow, you're pretty good at getting a beautiful woman to help you find a shop?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Foolish Brother Ye, couldn't it be that the beautiful woman offered to rent the prime shop to me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiansheng was taken aback, and then felt a little jealous of Zeng Wenjie's popularity with women.

Both of them were fighting for Mrs. Feng, so why was Zeng Wenjie allowed to pat her butt while he didn't get any benefits and was even forced to vomit?
Feeling somewhat resentful, Ye Qiansheng stepped forward and said to Xue Xiangyao, "Thank you for your hard work, beautiful lady!"

Xue Xiangyao simply nodded reservedly and said, "Hello, Brother Ye."

Ye Qiansheng exclaimed in surprise, "Oh ho, you know me!" Xue Xiangyao replied, "The KTV where you two fought last time is owned by my dad, of course I know you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiansheng felt a little smug and pleased.

Xue Xiangyao said, "Come with me, I'll show you the storefront."

The storefront is not far ahead, located on the first floor, next to the roadside. It's adjacent to a pedestrian street and a hospital, so there's a lot of foot traffic.

The storefronts are two units, one with an area of ​​200 square meters and the other with an area of ​​over 90 square meters.

Xue Xiangyao said, "How about these two sets? If they're not suitable, you can keep them for now, and I'll rent them to you when the leases for other shops expire."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but stroke his chin and ask, "How many storefronts do you own?"

"Everything here and there is under my name," Xue Xiangyao said calmly.

Fu Qianzhu looked in the direction she was pointing and couldn't help but feel a little envious. There were probably eight storefronts, and the rent alone would probably be over 100,000 yuan a month.

Zeng Wenjie turned to Ye Qiansheng and asked, "What do you think, Brother Ye?"

Ye Qiansheng was a god-like employee in his eyes, so of course he had to try his best to please him. When it came time to renovate both apartments together, he would let Ye Qiansheng oversee the process!

Zhuang Bifan was busy; he had to stay at the store on Central Street and also supervise the production at the jewelry shop.

Zeng Xiangdong collected gold in the countryside and county towns, refined it, and then sent it to Fengzhou.

As for Zeng Wenjie...

Overseeing such a demanding task as renovations should definitely be entrusted to the most capable person!
Zeng Wenjie felt he couldn't do the job, so he kept a close eye on Ye Qiansheng.

"I think that's a good idea. Look, there's a really good snack shop over there. Let's just take it down!"

Ye Qiansheng said menacingly, pointing to a snack shop not far away.

This shop is even worse than "Snacks Are Very Good" because while the latter is a copy, at least it had a flashy pink decor. This shop, on the other hand, directly copied the decor of "Snacks Are Very Good" and painted it bright yellow.

Zeng Wenjie nodded, sneered, and said, "Kill it!"

Xue Xiangyao thought the two men were really being vulgar.

Fu Qianzhu covered her lips and smiled softly, then silently mourned for the snack shop for two minutes.

Even giants like China Gold and Fengxiang Jewelry couldn't withstand Zeng Wenjie's three-pronged attack. Someone who plagiarized would probably be crushed in no time.

Xue Xiangyao said, "In that case, let's sign the contract. It's ready."

As she spoke, she took the contract out of her bag.

Ye Qiansheng took it and glanced at it, then exclaimed in shock, "No way, you slept with Zeng Wenjie?"

Fu Qianzhu glanced at Ye Qiansheng in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Xue Xiangyao asked with a haughty expression, "Is there a problem?"

Zeng Wenjie snatched the contract away and said, "Can't you be a little more discerning? Is it possible that I persuaded her with my silver tongue?"

"Hiss... Is the tongue really that useful?" Ye Qiansheng said.

Fortunately, Xue Xiangyao didn't understand. Usually, few people would dare to make lewd jokes in front of her, who has a cool image and equally cool temperament.

Fu Qianzhu couldn't understand it either. The child from the countryside was focused on his studies and had no time for anything else.

Zeng Wenjie ignored him and solemnly said to Xue Xiangyao, "Are you sure? This is a two-year rent-free contract! This shop can bring you at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month... Moreover, the rent for the storefront has increased by 10 to 20 yuan this year."

Xue Xiangyao said coldly, "If you insist on paying rent, I certainly won't stop you."

Zeng Wenjie grinned and said, "I'm not going to be so insistent on taking money out of my own pocket to give to others! Okay, then let's rent it for free for two years first."

If other landlords did this, they would probably be called fools.

But Xue Xiangyao would absolutely not...

Xue Lu was very wealthy, and Xue Xiangyao also owned several other shops.

Ye Qiansheng strongly suspected that there was something going on between the two; otherwise, why would he rent a prime shop to him for free for two years?!

"Two years of rent-free." Fu Qianzhu was also a little shocked and murmured softly.

She couldn't help but sigh slightly, wondering when she would ever accumulate such a substantial fortune.

Having never experienced wealth and luxury, she actually longed for a life of affluence.

However, despite her aspirations, she was able to uphold her moral principles and earn money through hard work.

After signing the contract, Xue Xiangyao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She was somewhat worried that the breakdown of Zeng Wenjie and Xue Lu's relationship would affect their otherwise good relationship.

Now that Zeng Wenjie has signed the contract, it's as if he has accepted her compensation, so such worries no longer exist.

People like Xue Lu, who like to bet on both sides, were naturally happy to see this happen. After all, the profits that two shops could bring were simply not enough for him.

Zeng Wenjie said to Ye Qiansheng, "The larger shop will be used to open a snack shop, and the smaller one will be used to open a gold shop. Both shops will be built at the same time. Brother Ye, you'd better do your job of supervising the construction!"

Ye Qiansheng cursed and said, "I only manage the snack shop, who cares about your gold shop?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "The jewelry store's decor is very unique. If Sister Xuan came to shop here, she might praise it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiansheng recalled Zeng Wenjie's gold shop on Central Street. He had also bought gold jewelry there as gifts and found the decor to be very distinctive, elegant and luxurious, yet not at all ostentatious.

“Okay, but I want to receive two salaries!” Ye Qiansheng said.

“No problem!” Zeng Wenjie said.

The renovation of the jewelry store takes a long time, at least a month, and he didn't want to suffer by overseeing the renovation.

Moreover, there's nothing wrong with paying Ye Qiansheng two salaries. Who knows, he might complain that the snack shop is packing too slowly and then pay the workers out of his own pocket to work overtime?
Thinking of this, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but let out a strange "hehehe" laugh in his heart.

"I'll contact the renovation company right away and have them produce the plans as soon as possible so we can start construction," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"Yes, the sooner the better!" Ye Qiansheng couldn't wait any longer.

The branch stores on campus are just small-scale operations, catering only to students of the Fengyuan Academy, and have no significance for expansion.

Opening a store here is tantamount to firing the first shot in an expansion, which means...

It seems he's getting closer and closer to humiliating Ye Yixuan!
