Rebirth Must Be Happy

"We're still preparing, it'll probably take a while longer."

In his previous life, Xu Jinhuan had a roommate who started an online store during college, so he had seen things firsthand and knew some key points.

First of all, it's not just about taking good-looking product photos, but also about "decorating" the online store beautifully; it's about appearances.
Secondly, you need to write positive reviews;
Secondly, there's user acquisition through advertising.

During the rapid development of e-commerce, following these three steps was generally enough to succeed. Of course, many others also succeeded even without following these steps, as they were riding the wave of opportunity.

By 2012, Taobao had already begun to take shape, with related industrial chains available on the platform, but it was far less diverse than in later years, and there were not many choices. Xu Jinhuan was still considering what style to make it.

As he talked to Chen Xingzhu, he parked his car downstairs. Just as he got out, he saw Song Zhiyu also get out of the front passenger seat, pouting and looking very unhappy.

Xu Jinhuan laughed and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"fine!"

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, glanced at Chen Xingzhu, and suddenly thought: 'Sister Wanqing doesn't know about my affairs, but Sister Xingzhu does. She doesn't seem to be jealous when she sees me and my brother like this.'

'Besides, even though my brother and Sister Wanqing are like this, Sister Xingzhu doesn't seem to be very jealous or unhappy...'

As she thought about this, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she seemed to understand something. But upon closer reflection, she realized she understood nothing at all.

This is unreasonable!

"Let's go."

Fearing that Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu would press her for answers, Xie Wanqing hurriedly went upstairs.

Chen Xingzhu looked at the two of them and said, "I just talked to him about the online store. What kind of online store do you want it to look like, sister?"

"I don't really understand these things either."

Seeing that she had changed the subject, Xie Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and replied softly, "I feel that it would be best to refer to the poem 'Drinking on the lake after the rain'."

"West Lake, I know it."

Song Zhiyu chimed in with a smile, "Then how about using colors like sky blue or lake blue for decoration?"

Chen Xingzhu thought for a moment and said, "This color is not easy to mix, is it?"

"I'll figure it out slowly. I don't really understand these things either."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "Besides, I feel that using warm colors to decorate the food would be more suitable, as it would make everyone more appetizing..."

Chen Xingzhu said, "How about we design a logo first?"

"I've been thinking about a logo!"

Xie Wanqing immediately chimed in, "Replace the radical of the character '晴' with 'sun,' design the character '方' as a grid, and design the character '好' as two people cuddling together..."

Song Zhiyu said, "Then we can add the color of West Lake."

"I feel so too."

The three started discussing it, but Xu Jinhuan was too lazy to get involved because he didn't understand these things and would easily backfire if he tried to show off.

Chen Xingzhu has some drawing skills. By noon the next day, she had actually drawn a logo based on Xie Wanqing's design. Xu Jinhuan took a look and, although not very satisfied, did not discourage them. She smiled and said, "It looks pretty good. It can be used as an alternative. We can revise it a bit more."

Chen Xingzhu was incredibly clever; she immediately realized he didn't think much of her. She rolled her eyes at him, said nothing, and spent her free time figuring out how to revise it.

"If he can write a really good song, why can't we make a nice logo?"

In the group chat of four without Xu Jinhuan, Song Zhiyu heard about Chen Xingzhu's plan and immediately expressed her support, saying, "If we discuss it properly, we can definitely create a beautiful logo!"

Chen Xingruo: "Exactly! Three cobblers with their wits combined can make even Zhuge Liang worry!"

Song Zhiyu: "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xingruo: "If my sister is in trouble, it's my trouble. A good Chinese sister has no choice but to help!"

Chen Xingruo: "Moreover, Xu Jinhuan actually knows how to write songs, which trampled on my dignity. Of course, I have to get revenge."

Chen Xingzhu: "Xingruo also studied painting."

Chen Xingzhu: "If we really can't do it, we'll have her find a professional in Beijing to design it for us."

Xie Wanqing: "Ah?"

Xie Wanqing: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Song Zhiyu: "Okay, okay!"

Song Zhiyu: "What's wrong with this? We have to save face." Song Zhiyu: "But I didn't expect you, Sister Xingzhu, to be this kind of person. You're so cunning."

Chen Xingruo: "Hahahaha, sister, you've finally revealed your true colors!"

Xie Wanqing: "So if we really hire someone else to design it, should we say that we designed it ourselves?"

Song Zhiyu: "Of course we want it. If we tell the truth, what face will we have left?"

Song Zhiyu: "@Chen Xingruo, didn't you want revenge? If you want to hire professionals, you can pay for it."

Chen Xingruo: "Pah!"

Chen Xingruo: "I want revenge, not to be a sucker."

Xie Wanqing: "If it costs money, of course I'll pay."

Xie Wanqing: "It can be reimbursed, don't worry."

Chen Xingruo: "What kind of logo are you guys making?"

……

Chen Xingzhu was still working on designing a logo in her spare time. When Sunday came, the group gave Xiaoguai a bath as planned. Then Xu Jinhuan took a piece of paper out of the room and handed it to her with an arrogant expression.

"sigh,"

Xu Jinhuan, looking down at Xie Wanqing, whose face was framed by the two green mountains on opposite sides as she squatted down to hold Xiao Guai, quickly looked away and said to Chen Xingzhu, "Come and eat!"

Chen Xingzhu was stunned for a moment. Even though she reacted quickly, she still didn't understand what Xu Jinhuan was going crazy about.

On the contrary, Song Zhiyu was closer to Xu Jinhuan's thought process and quickly reacted, saying, "Sister Xingzhu, he must have already written the second song and is showing off to you as if you were Sister Xingruo, saying that he wants Sister Xingruo to eat handouts!"

"If Xingruo were here, she would definitely let the cat catch you."

Chen Xingzhu wasn't angry. She was already used to his occasional childishness and boredom. She gave him a funny glare, then took a dry towel and continued to wipe the water off Xiao Guai.

Xu Jinhuan wasn't angry, so he just stood there and waited, because Chen Xingzhu was also squatting down, facing the green hills.

'The little girl is much bigger than she looks...'

Xu Jinhuan was secretly surprised, realizing that he had underestimated Chen Xingzhu because of Xie Wanqing's presence.

For some reason, his first thought was: 'Chen Xingruo must be about that size too. Wouldn't she be very conspicuous when she performs on stage in formal attire?'

"Let me see."

After wiping Xiao Guai again, Xie Wanqing let go of Xiao Guai. Chen Xingzhu and Song Zhiyu then got up together. Chen Xingzhu went to take the papers from his hand, but suddenly frowned, closed his eyes, and swayed.

"what happened?"

Xu Jinhuan quickly reached out to support her shoulder. Chen Xingzhu felt dizzy and instinctively grabbed his arm to steady herself. After the dizziness subsided, she said softly, "I was a little dizzy when I stood up after squatting for so long."

"I know, this is called orthostatic hypotension."

Song Zhiyu boasted, "I had a classmate like that before; he once fell right to the ground..."

"Are you okay?"

Xie Wanqing also helped Chen Xingzhu up, and asked her softly with concern, "Be careful next time, don't fall."

"fine."

Chen Xingzhu blushed slightly and quickly let go of Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan was initially worried that Xie Wanqing would overthink things and Song Zhiyu would cause trouble, but seeing that the two of them seemed not to have seen her helping Chen Xingzhu, she breathed a sigh of relief and pretended that nothing had happened. She handed the papers to Song Zhiyu and said, "Let's go and sit in the living room to talk."

"Birds and cicadas?"

Xie Wanqing was gentle and carefully looked after Chen Xingzhu, afraid that she would have another relapse. Song Zhiyu, however, was not so patient. She held a piece of paper, looked down at the lyrics, and said, "What does this song title mean?"

"It tells the love story of a cicada and a bird."

With so many people around, Xu Jinhuan was worried about causing misunderstandings and potentially even resulting in someone's death. So he explained, "Cicadas sing their whole lives until autumn, and birds migrate south in winter, so each has its regrets and helplessness... The lyrics were written based on this."

"Let me consider."

Song Zhiyu sat down on the sofa to look at the lyrics, with Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing flanking her on either side, also looking down at the lyrics. (End of Chapter)
