Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 116 Did you bring it?

Chen Cheng's operational strategies are interconnected, and he understands marketing better than most people of this era.

Membership benefits may still be an unfamiliar term today, but in the future, they will be a winning formula for all industries.

Su Jianfeng's operating logic is to prioritize capital; to hell with it, getting the money first is the key.

Chen Cheng's operational logic is to put customers first and ensure their satisfaction at all times in order to achieve long-term success.

Putting aside other issues, why did so many chain restaurants eventually go bankrupt, while Haidilao developed into a catering enterprise with a scale of hundreds of billions?
Su Ziqiang's understanding of issues couldn't keep up with Chen Cheng's, but Su Zishan was much better than him. She could understand the underlying logic behind what Chen Cheng was doing, so she always wholeheartedly supported him.

Seeing that his sister trusted Chen Cheng unconditionally, Su Ziqiang temporarily gave up the idea of ​​opening a branch store.

Chen Cheng stayed at the store until evening when he received a call from Wu Haoyang's dormitory landline.

After the call connected, Wu Haoyang said dejectedly on the other end of the phone, "Chen Cheng, I can't go back to Fancheng with you and School Beauty Lu on the 1st."

"what happened?"

Wu Haoyang said, "My dad called me and said that my mom is not in good health and plans to come to Jiangcheng to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor during the holiday. They are all coming, so I'm waiting for them here."

Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that when he was in school in his previous life, he was focused on working to earn money to support Zhao Siyan's education, and his relationship with Wu Haoyang was somewhat distant. Several years later, he heard that his mother had passed away from illness not long after he graduated from university, but he did not know what illness she had died from.

So Chen Cheng asked him, "Do you know what symptoms your aunt might be experiencing?"

Wu Haoyang said, "My liver isn't doing well. I think it's something like excessive dampness in my body. I've been taking Chinese medicine for more than half a year."

Is your liver not functioning well?
Chen Cheng thought to himself, if Wu Haoyang's mother died of liver disease, then it might have been liver cancer.

I just don't know the specific situation now.

So he said to Wu Haoyang, "Talk to your uncle. Your aunt is not in good health. First, she needs to go to a general hospital to find out what the problem is, and then treat her accordingly. After the examination, treat her according to the hospital's instructions."

Wu Haoyang said awkwardly, "Well... it's not up to me to decide... My mom doesn't seem to want to go to a big hospital. She said the examination fees are very high, and she doesn't have social security, so she doesn't want to spend that much money."

Chen Cheng said, "Seeing a doctor is the most important thing; money is secondary. Hospitals should be open for outpatient services during the National Day holiday. Try to go to Renji Hospital tomorrow and see if you can get an appointment with the gastroenterology department during the holiday. Remember, go to the gastroenterology department. When they arrive, take them there and tell them that all the appointments are booked and it would be a waste not to go."

Wu Haoyang didn't know what gastroenterology was, and said with some worry, "I... I should have no problem making an appointment, I'm just worried that my mom might be reluctant to go because she's afraid of the cost..."

Chen Cheng comforted him, saying, "It's okay, go register first. After you register, when they arrive, you can make a scene and force them to go. I have some money on me. Before we leave, we'll meet and I'll give you the money. Then you can take the money and take them. The checkup won't cost too much."

Wu Haoyang quickly said, "That's so embarrassing..."

"fine."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I'm lending it to you, not giving it to you for nothing. Nothing is more important than your health. You must take Auntie to a big hospital for a thorough check-up to make sure there are no problems before you can feel at ease. If she misses any symptoms, no amount of money can make up for it later, understand?"

Wu Haoyang was a little confused, but he was still very grateful and said, "Thank you, Chen Cheng. Don't worry, I'll have my dad give you the money after I finish investigating!"

“That’s nothing. Let’s meet on Sunday. I’ll bring you the money and pick up your train ticket while I’m at it.”

Because Wu Haoyang's schedule changed, Chen Cheng called Lu Youyou to let her know.

After hearing this, Lu Youyou asked him, "Do you still have money to lend to Wu Haoyang? Or should I withdraw some money and you give it to him?"

Chen Cheng said, "I still have some left, don't worry."

Lu Youyou asked nervously, "Has your itinerary changed?"

Chen Cheng said, "I haven't changed. I'll leave with you on the morning of the 1st."

Lu Youyou was relieved: "Okay!"

Then she asked Chen Cheng, "You're meeting Wu Haoyang on Sunday, do you want to have a meal together? We won't have time to see him before National Day."

Chen Cheng agreed: "Okay, I'll tell him, and I'll make the arrangements on Sunday."
-
This weekend, Chen Cheng is making the most of his time to prepare for the internal testing of the school's intranet.

On Sunday afternoon, the 29th, the campus network was finally deployed on the server and began internal testing.

Chen Cheng tested the user interface, product experience, and key functions one by one, and the performance was stable.

Since Renren.com will officially launch on October 7th, he plans to upgrade the server when he goes to the electronics market to buy a computer and scanner on the 4th.

At a minimum, it needs to be able to support several thousand people online simultaneously, enough for Jiangda users to log in and view their photos.

As for the number of photos each person can upload, Chen Cheng decided to limit it to five for the time being, with each photo not exceeding 1MB in size.

After all the functional tests passed, Chen Cheng closed his computer and planned to go to the bank to withdraw money for Wu Haoyang.

Lu Youyou had been looking forward to meeting Chen Cheng all afternoon. She spent the whole afternoon thinking about what clothes and shoes to wear, and whether to tie her hair up or leave it down.

To my surprise, just as I was about to leave, I received a call from my father.

On the other end of the phone, Lu's father said to her, "Yoyo, Dad's here in Jiangcheng. I'll come find you for dinner tonight."

"Huh?" Lu Youyou asked in surprise, "Dad, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Deer's father said, "I've been here for two days, and I've been running errands the whole time."

Lu Youyou asked again, "So you're going back today?"

Lu's father said, "I'm not going back tonight. I still have some things to take care of."

At this point, Lu's father asked her, "Are you not available at night?"

"Yes."

Lu Youyou said helplessly, "I made plans to have dinner with my classmates."

Dad said, "Excuse me, but I have something important to discuss with you. How about you have dinner with your classmates again tomorrow?"

"Ah..." Lu Youyou was naturally reluctant. She had already agreed to have dinner with Chen Cheng that evening, and it would be inappropriate to stand him up now.

But then I thought, my dad said he had something important to discuss with me, and it would be even more inappropriate for me to refuse him just because I was having dinner with Chen Cheng.

After thinking it over, she could only say, "Then I'll tell my classmate, Dad, when are you coming?"

Dad said, "I'm right at your school gate."

Lu Youyou was a little surprised, and said, "Then wait for me a moment, I'll be there in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Youyou felt melancholy, but she still quickly called Chen Cheng back.

Chen Cheng had just come out of the bank when he received Lu Youyou's call. He smiled and said, "Little Lu, wait for me a moment. I'll take a taxi to pick up Wu Haoyang first, and then I'll come find you."

Lu Youyou said in a wronged tone, "Chen Cheng, I can't go tonight. You can go with Wu Haoyang."

"what happened?"

Chen Cheng asked curiously.

Lu Youyou said, "My dad suddenly called and said he was in Jiangcheng and wanted to see me. He's already at my school gate and said he wants me to have dinner with him tonight."

"Oh……"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, you can have dinner with your uncle, Haoyang and I will eat together."

Lu Youyou whispered, "I want to go too..."

Chen Cheng comforted her, "You stay with your uncle first. We can eat another day. Today is the 29th, and we should go back soon. When we get back, I'll treat you to the restaurant where we had our farewell dinner last time."

"Ok."

Lu Youyou felt a little regretful, so she said, "Then tell Wu Haoyang tonight."

"it is good."

When Chen Cheng took a taxi to find Wu Haoyang,
Lu Youyou had already seen her father's Mercedes-Benz S600 outside the school gate.

The driver was my dad's chauffeur, and my dad, Lu Zhixing, was sitting in the back seat.

Lu Youyou opened the car door and sat in the back seat, looking at her father and asking, "Dad, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Jiangcheng beforehand?"

Lu Zhixing smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, "Oh dear, I didn't mean to tell you. I was thinking of rushing back after finishing my business. I still have a lot of business to attend to in Fancheng."

Lu Youyou was even more puzzled. She hadn't intended to tell me, but then suddenly she did, saying it was something important. What exactly was going on?

She looked at her father more closely and noticed that after nearly a month apart, his white hair was noticeably more abundant, his complexion was not good, and his eye bags were much larger than before, as if he hadn't been getting enough rest. He also looked much more haggard.

So she asked Lu Zhixing, "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lu Zhixing smiled and said, "Let's find a restaurant and chat while we eat."

Lu Youyou asked, "Aren't you going to invite my brother along?"

Lu Zhixing waved his hand: "Don't call him. Don't let him know I'm in Jiangcheng."

"Ok."

Lu Youyou said, "There's a Shaxian snack shop not far away, Dad, are you interested?"

"I can do it."

"Then let's go. Uncle Liu, you drive east."

Chen Cheng then took a taxi to Wu Haoyang's school and picked him up.

He told Wu Haoyang that Lu Youyou couldn't come, and the two of them went straight to Fat Cat to eat crayfish.

The two ordered a few more bottles of beer, ate and drank, and chatted, which made them feel much more relaxed.

In contrast, the atmosphere between Lu Zhixing and Lu Youyou was somewhat awkward.

After sitting down at Shaxian Snacks, Lu Zhixing had no appetite for anything. Lu Youyou ordered a few dishes at random and then asked him, "Dad, is something wrong?"

Lu Zhixing had been unsure how to broach the subject, but when his daughter asked, he sighed and said, “There’s been a bit of a problem with business lately. The client still owes me over 20 million yuan in payments and insists that I continue supplying goods. If I can’t deliver the goods for October, they might look for other suppliers. I came to Jiangcheng to ask a few friends for help and see if I could coordinate some funds, but I haven’t gotten anywhere.”

Lu Youyou didn't know much about her father's business, but it sounded like the problem was quite serious, so she quickly asked, "What's the worst possible outcome?"

"The worst-case scenario..."

Lu Zhixing lamented, "The worst outcome is that the partnership will be replaced by someone else. I will then withdraw from the partnership and wait for the client to pay me back. If the payments come back gradually in October, the worst outcome will be that I will lose all revenue from this business."

Lu Youyou picked up on the key information and asked, "What if the payment doesn't come in October?"

Lu Zhixing said, "Then the situation is a bit more complicated. We might have to sell some houses or cars to pay off part of the loan and bridge loan."

As he spoke, Lu Zhixing added, "But you don't need to worry too much. Even in this situation, it's not a big problem for our family."

Lu Youyou nodded gently and said, "Dad, you don't need to worry too much. The amount of money is not that important to me. If this matter results in some financial loss, you should be more open-minded about it."

"Yes."

Lu Zhixing smiled and said, "Dad knows what's going on. At worst, we'll lose some money and have to sell a few houses, but we'll still have a solid foundation."

After a moment's hesitation, he asked Lu Youyou, "Youyou, your grandparents gave you a card during summer vacation. Did you bring it with you when you came to Jiangcheng?"
