Han Zhou ignored him, took out his phone and looked at the time, then changed the subject and said, "Okay, it's almost time. Let's set off when everyone is here."
When it came to business, Gu Zheng couldn't hold on to the question just now. He nodded and said, "Well, Sister Yin just sent me a message, saying that she is almost ready."
"Don't you have to wait for senior sister?" Lin Anyu asked doubtfully.
The senior he refers to is Zhong Ling. Although they are not from the same school, in terms of grade, she is also his senior.
"No, senior sister has already gone to the store in advance, so we don't have to wait for her." Han Zhou stood up and accurately threw the can into the trash can in the distance. "The address is just outside the school, not far away."
More than half a month has passed since the social event. During this time, Zhong Yin has been repeatedly thinking about the feasibility of opening a pastry shop. He discussed it with his sister Zhong Ling for several days, and even asked Han Zhou for his opinion, and finally gritted his teeth and did it. I made a decision and planned to take a gamble with the savings I had saved in the past.
These savings include the money saved by the sisters' deceased parents for half their lives. This is the first time Zhong Yin has used it. He hopes that his parents can bless the pastry shop to open successfully.
Considering various factors, the pastry shop was finally opened on the street near Lincheng University. According to Lin Anyu, as long as the taste is not bad, opening a shop near the university will at least not make a loss. College students have always been the main consumer of pastries. If you open it near a school, you don't have to worry about the number of customers.
As for whether you can make a lot of money stably, it depends on how you manage it in the future.
Of course, it is well known that stores near universities are in demand. It is usually difficult to find people willing to transfer the store. Those stores with signs such as "The store will be sublet, clearance sale, only 38 for the whole store" Han Jugang I saw it on the first day of school, and I still see it now.
It has to be said that even 38 can't be sold, which shows how low the quality of the goods in the store is. Even if they shout slogans of clearance and sale at low prices, no one is fooled. Closing down is actually an inevitable outcome.
After learning Zhong Yin's idea, Han Zhou took the initiative to help and found a store that was indeed not operating well. He came to talk to it several times and finally bought the store at a satisfactory and reasonable price.
This is of course not because Han Zhou is eloquent and good at negotiating, but because he can now spy on secrets and easily ask the lowest price acceptable to the boss. Coupled with Lin Anyu's assistance, he can sell the goods at a low price. The store is leased and transferred.
Lin Anyu was called by Han Zhou to help, and he had contributed a lot to this matter. Zhong Yin naturally wanted to acknowledge his affection, so he invited him to try the pastries together today.
Yes, today is not the opening day yet. Since Zhong Yin has the confidence to open a pastry shop, it means that she is indeed good at it. Han Zhou can taste this from the pastries that Zhong Ling brings from time to time - the other party has always Making progress.
But this is not enough. In order to improve competitiveness, Zhong Yin has been trying to develop more attractive pastries recently, and today is the time to show the results of his research.
"I have a hunch that senior sister's store will be very popular." Lin Anyu stretched himself and said with longing, "If they are too busy in the future, Han Zhou, you must ask them to consider recruiting me to the store. help."
Whether it is that Jong-eun's store will be very popular or that he wants to work in Jong-eun's store, his two sentences are based on the same logic - Jong-eun is a great beauty.
Not only is Zhong Yin a great beauty, her sister Zhong Ling is also a great beauty.
Although many people say that you can't eat your face as food, in fact, there are countless ways to use your face as food. As long as you do a little publicity, you can say "There is a pair of sisters in that newly opened store, and one of them is still mute." If the news about the bride "Zhong Ling" spreads, if nothing else, at least many boys from college will definitely come here to see how charming Zhong Ling's sister is.
This is natural advertising that costs almost nothing.
To put it another way, if you are also going out to buy pastries on campus, would you rather look at more handsome guys and beauties while waiting, or would you rather keep your head down and continue playing on your phone?
This point is a matter of opinion, but it is undeniable that when the tastes are not much different, appearance is a factor that cannot be ignored that affects the choice. Otherwise, there is no need to spend time decorating so many shops, just find a rough house.
Of course, there are many factors that affect success, but at least in Lin Anyu's view, this store will definitely have no problem making a profit.
Han Zhou said angrily: "If you want to work, go and ask Sister Yin. But weren't you ambitious enough to unify the design aesthetic of bare-leg artifacts around the world? Why do you want to work again now?"
"What does it mean to change the design aesthetic of the bare-leg artifact?" Gu Zheng looked confused.
"This is not important." Lin Anyu said righteously, "The important thing is that our school will hold a sports meeting next week. The monitor insists that I participate in the relay race. As you know, my sports level is quite average. , you are so talented in sports, do you have any tips you can teach me?"
"You changed the topic quite abruptly..."
Gu Zheng glanced at him, thought for a while and said, "You also said that I am only talented in sports, not the know-how to improve my sports level, so I can't teach you anything, um... just keep working hard and move forward. ?"
Lin Anyu had no choice but to speak at Gu Zheng's Versailles, and turned to look at Han Zhou: "Han Zhou, what can you do? I always feel that your athletic level is not at the same level as before. Could it be that you have been got through to Ren Duer? Pulse?"
"I just didn't take action before."
Han Zhou said without changing his expression, "You want to improve your sports level mainly because you want the girls in the class to cheer for you, so why don't you just work hard for this goal."
Lin Anyu sighed: "Oh, your answers are really perfunctory."
Han Zhou didn't want to be perfunctory, but he couldn't tell the other person that I became stronger because of cheating. You should also find someone to cheat, right?
At this moment, Gu Zheng said: "Speaking of which, our school's sports meeting will start soon. I seem to have heard it mentioned by the sports committee member two days ago."
Han Zhou nodded: "One week later than Lin Anyu's school."
I heard this news from Ouyang Lianyu. It is worth mentioning that not long ago, this "covered with injuries" finally got out of the wheelchair and relived the feeling of being down to earth. As long as his hands recover after a while, After that, she can break the rumor that "Teacher Ouyang cannot appear on campus unscathed" with a sound attitude.
She was looking forward to this very much, and mentioned it in several chats with Han Zhou, and said that she would be very careful recently to eliminate the stereotypes of her among teachers and students in the school.
——Then she went to the hospital again.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious this time, just an ankle sprain. Ouyang Lianyu still firmly believed that she would be able to fully recover in the near future.
Hearing Han Zhou suppressing a smile to say this, Gu Zheng looked worried: "Is Teacher Ouyang really cursed as everyone said? How can anyone be injured all day long?"
"It has nothing to do with the curse." Han Zhou shook his head and said, "Teacher Ouyang is just too focused on her mathematical research. If she focuses too much on one thing, she will be too careless on other things. I think she should find something other than mathematics for her to do. Do."
"for example?"
"For example, let her go to sports meets."
Gu Zheng rolled her eyes: "I finally understand why Teacher Ouyang always loses his temper with you."
Han Zhou said innocently: "It's not because she has been hinting that I should take part in sports, but it is also the most troublesome long-distance running. There are so many talented people in the class, and I am obviously more suitable to be the head of the logistics department."
"Then remember to come over and help me when the time comes, and cheer me on by the way."
"no problem."
Han Zhou smiled. With Gu Zheng's character, he definitely wanted to participate in the sports meeting, so of course he wanted to cheer.
"What about my cheers?" Lin Anyu suddenly said sourly, looking at Han Zhou with burning eyes.
Han Zhou glanced at him doubtfully.
"who are you?"
"..."
A few people chatted all the way, and soon they came to a street outside the school.
This street is in a pretty good location, adjacent to the commercial street. Pedestrians will basically pass by here when shopping. At this time, you can see a lot of people on the street, indicating that the flow of people is good.
The pastry shop is located a little closer to the street and is less conspicuous than other shops. This is normal. If it is a store in a prime location, the transfer price will undoubtedly be much higher.
The store has obviously been renovated. It has changed a lot compared to the last time Han Zhou came here. All the necessary tools are in place. On the table near the corner, Han Zhou saw the winning number he won with Zhong Ling at the social event. cake machine.
There is no signboard outside yet. In addition to tasting food, another reason why Zhong Yin invited everyone here today is to help think of a catchy name for the store.
"Sister Yin, senior sister, we are here."
Han Zhou took the lead in the door and immediately saw Zhong Ling who was busy. She was squeezing cream on the pastry on the plate with concentration. She didn't know if it was because she was in a good mood. There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. His smile made the room seem a lot brighter.
Han Zhou did not disturb him. Zhong Ling was similar to Ouyang Lianyu. Once he entered the state, he would be very focused. The difference was that the latter was more extreme and often even ignored his own safety.
He signaled Gu Zheng and the two behind him to be quiet, slowed down and walked over, looking down at the good-looking pastry in Zhong Ling's hand - if nothing else, this should be the pastry they were going to try today.
After seeing the pattern on the pastry clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.
"I really added a smiley face..."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 291 Silver Bell
The pure white cream turns into thin lines, gradually outlining the curved corners of the mouth and eyebrows. A bright smile blooms on the pastry, adding a bit of agility to it.
It is not difficult to give a smiling face to the pastries, but Zhong Ling is still very focused and even cautious.
This is the task assigned to her by her sister, and she must complete it well.
When the last smiley face was finished, she breathed a sigh of relief, held the pastry and stared at it blankly for a while, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, and tried to make the same smiley face as the one on the pastry, but she always felt that it didn't look like the same, so she stopped trying and turned around to ask her sister to come over to see if she was satisfied.
However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The junior student had stood beside her at some point, with an interested expression on his face.
Thinking of her childish behavior just now, Zhong Ling smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Junior, you are here."
Han Zhou had already activated his hearing enhancement. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I've been here for a while. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"No." Zhong Ling shook her head and said softly, "I'm drawing a smiley face."
"I saw it. It's a really good painting."
Han Zhou praised sincerely. He would definitely not be able to draw such a brilliant smile if it were him. He had average talent in handicrafts and painting, unless he put in special effort to learn it.
He was a little curious. When he was talking to Jong-eun on the phone on the day of the social event, he misunderstood Jong-eun's question and suggested that he should smile more. Although it was a coincidence, he didn't know whether Jong-eun decided to draw a smiley face on the pastry because he adopted this suggestion.
"Thank you."
Zhong Ling smiled gently and nodded to Lin Anyu and Gu Zheng behind Han Zhou, "You sit down for a while. I'll go call my sister over."
Although they couldn't hear the voice clearly, Lin Anyu and Gu Zheng roughly understood what she meant. The latter asked curiously, "What is Sister Yin doing?"
"Cleansing up the back room."
Since Zhong Yin opened a store near the school, it means that she will not be able to run back and forth between home and the store in the future, so she plans to live in the store. Zhong Ling is so happy today because she knows that she can see her sister often in the future.
Han Zhou told the two what Zhong Ling said, and then they waited in the store together.
Not long after, Zhong Yin and Zhong Ling walked out of the room together. It is worth mentioning that the former's expression changes were very interesting. His eyes swept across Gu Zheng, Lin Anyu and Han Zhou's faces in turn, and the smiles on his faces gradually became shallow and finally disappeared.
Han Zhou felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that the other person looked at him with deep meaning. He didn't know if it was because he was still brooding over the content of their last phone conversation.
Zhong Yin's gaze did not stay on Han Zhou's face for too long, so as not to let the other party notice his thoughts.
She had mixed feelings towards this guy. She was grateful for his care for her sister and his help to her family, but she was also inexplicably worried that her sister would be kidnapped by him.
This was not aimless. She had already learned from Xiaoling about the content of the games in the last social activity. She was not angry with Han Zhou because of the hugging, nor did she think that the other party took advantage of her sister. After all, Xiaoling mentioned more than once that she was the one who took the initiative to ask Han Zhou for help in this matter.
What really worried Zhong Yin was that perhaps even Xiao Ling herself didn't realize that her defense against this man was too low. If it were someone else, she wouldn't even let the other person touch her hand, but she let Han Zhou hug her.
"Being forced by the rules of the game" is not an excuse. Zhong Yin knows very well that Xiao Ling is just naive but not stupid. She should have anticipated the subsequent situation as early as the moment she heard the rules. If she was unwilling, she would definitely refuse to continue participating in the game.
Zhong Yin originally thought that Xiao Ling cared about Han Zhou because the latter had a special meaning to her, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
Of course, it's hard to say. She knows that Xiaoling is very slow in feelings, and this sister who has never been in love has even less understanding of love. She has thought about having a good chat with her, but she is worried that such a chat will make the other party realize her feelings or become curious about them, and thus truly fall in love with Han Zhou.
Even though the first impression was not very good and the negative impact it brought has not been completely eliminated, making Zhong Yin couldn't help but give Han Zhou the cold shoulder, but she also admitted in her heart that this young man could bring happiness to her sister, and it was not unacceptable to entrust her sister to him.
But the problem is... there are too many girls who have unclear relationships with this guy.
Thinking back to the many girls she saw in the hospital that day, and Gu Zheng, one of the strong contenders for Han Zhou's girlfriend who was now present, Zhong Yin couldn't help but feel a headache. Her intuition told her that Xiao Ling should not and could not be with Han Zhou.
It seems that I still need to find an opportunity to talk, but I have to think about how to say it first...
Putting away his scattered thoughts, Zhong Yin smiled and said, "Thank you for taking the time to come here. Thank you for troubling everyone."
If the smile on Zhong Ling's face is gentle and easy-going, then the smile on Zhong Yin's face is a bit cold and aloof. It can be described by a line of lyrics -
