Chapter 353: Chapter 277: This is How to Use a Christmas Dress Chapter 353: Chapter 277: This is How to Use a Christmas Dress Outside the hotel suite, the rain was pouring down.

For some reason today, it seemed that the entire Hang City was shrouded in rain.

Inside the hotel suite,
this little dog was both docile and asking for a beating, which was extremely contradictory; hence, the room was occasionally filled with “thunderous sounds.”

Some people, you know, get spanked as children and still get spanked when they grow up.

The little golden bell on the collar kept making noise.

The quality of the bell was quite good. Although it was small, the sound was very crisp. Even the heavy rain outside couldn’t drown out the ringing, despite the rain hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows with a rustling noise.

“Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling!!!”

After a series of loud bell sounds, it began to make a very faint noise.

This was because the little dog had stopped shaking the bell, now lying there shivering.

As a result, only a soft tremble came from the golden copper bell.

Throughout this process, it happened twice.

“Watch closely, this is how to use the Christmas dress.” — Cheng Zhu.

….

….

In the bathroom, Cheng Zhu took a quick shower.

He had thought about taking a shower directly, but the docile Ye Zi offered to give him a preliminary deep cleaning.

After being disinfected with saliva, he then used the shower gel for a secondary cleaning.

Nothing else, he just loved cleanliness.

The clean boy Cheng Zhu, wearing a bathrobe, stepped out of the bathroom and glanced outside the window.

The rain had lessened a bit but was still coming down.

Ye Zi lay on the sofa, on the phone with the female model who was about to arrive.

Her voice sounded a bit different from usual, with a breathy quality to it.

“Could there possibly be a slight delay?”

“Okay.”

“Let me know when you arrive, and I’ll come down to meet you.”

The model introduced by Zhu Youwei was quite polite. In fact, there was still about an hour to the agreed time.

But she received such an “unexpected wealth,” immediately got out of bed to do her makeup, and was about to head to the hair salon to get her hair done.

She had planned her time well, but now the sudden downpour seemed likely to cause a delay, and she felt it was better to give an early notice.

It would only be a notification, not a request, if she only mentioned the possible delay close to the meeting time.

Over the phone, the female model’s attitude was very good, and her posture very humble, as she continuously apologized.

She was actually just worried that the rain might cause some delays. She might even arrive on time, but the first impression counts, right? So better make a phone call first!

You see, her opposite was the photographer from Persistent Visit!

She couldn’t believe such good fortune could find her in this world.

Unforeseen riches had fallen her way; it was time to prepare and rise in the ranks in the circle!

On the sofa, Ye Zi put down the phone and didn’t lift her head again but rested it on the sofa, informing Cheng Zhu, “Boss, it was the new model who called.”

“Yeah, I heard.” Cheng Zhu replied.

“Anyway, I’ll leave when she arrives.”

“I’ll go down first, pretending to be a passerby, to check her physical attributes.” Cheng Zhu smiled.

“Okay.” Ye Zi didn’t ask any more questions.

Cheng Zhu patted her and urged, “Go take a shower and brush your teeth.”

The still unrested Ye Zi obediently got up.

Boss Cheng sat on the sofa with his mobile phone and called the foreman at the milk tea shop.

“Hello, Mr. Zhang, how long will it take to complete the cleaning?” he asked.

The renovation of the milk tea shop was completed that day and was undergoing a second round of cleaning.

“It will definitely be done by 5 p.m. at the latest,” the foreman responded.

“Alright, I’ll come over before 5 p.m.,” Cheng Zhu said.

The trial operation of Youu Tea was soon to be scheduled.

The overall renovation pace of the milk tea shop was faster than Cheng Zhu expected, finishing four full days ahead of the scheduled timeline.

And the project was completed with both quality and quantity assured.

Exactly how much Baby Lu contributed to this, Cheng Zhu wasn’t quite sure.

But regardless, high efficiency in the renovations was undoubtedly a good thing.

Cheng Zhu had some plans in mind for the pre-opening publicity of the milk tea shop.

This kind of shop wasn’t like a claw machine shop; he wasn’t planning to make a quick buck over a few months but intended to earn for three, four years, or even longer.

As a Reborn, he had a significant advantage and could reduce many trial-and-error costs.

Therefore, whether it was the first move or every subsequent move, he wanted to be more precise.

“He who does not plan for the eternal is not even fit to plan for a moment. He who does not plan for the whole situation is not fit to plan for a single area.”

Cheng Zhu felt there was some truth to this saying.

“Now it’s 2014, actually, by the normal timeline, those famous internet celebrity milk tea shops are still gathering strength, not yet trending.”

“That’s about over a year ahead of them,” Cheng Zhu thought.

This time point was just right.

If he pushed back another year or two, the milk tea 2.0 era was just beginning, and he definitely wouldn’t go for a high-end internet celebrity milk tea shop, because the market hadn’t even started.

“But in a few years, when everyone starts downgrading consumption, milk tea priced over 30 yuan will be hard to make again,” Cheng Zhu was clear on the era’s trend.

“By then, even the prevalent ‘Licking Dog Economy’ will have to collapse!”

“The collapse of the ‘Licking Dog Economy’ will bring destructive impacts to many industries.”

Cheng Zhu thought this as his thoughts began to wander.

At this moment, Ye Zi came out of the bathroom, removing her shower cap as she walked.

Seeing Cheng Zhu in deep thought, she went on her own to pick up the camera and began admiring the photos Cheng Zhu had taken for her.

She liked nearly every one of them, not willing to delete a single one.

After a few minutes, Cheng Zhu put down the phone and smiled, “Picking out photos?”

“No, just looking. I love them all, won’t delete a single one.” Ye Zi’s smile was bright.

She seemed to radiate endless vitality, like she had passed through fall and winter and was sprouting new buds.

This Ye Zi had a kind of… well-nourished beauty.

“But I only plan to post one photo in Moments for Christmas, and I really can’t decide,” Ye Zi said, “Boss, help me pick one.”

“Sure.” Cheng Zhu gestured for her to sit next to him.

He took the camera, and the unshowable photos came into view.

He turned to look at Ye Zi, who had a smile in her eyes and leaned in to whisper, “I like these too.”

Normal people couldn’t handle this.

Cheng Zhu browsed through all his masterpiece photos in the camera and finally chose a side-profile photo.

He thought the slight lift of the dress’s hem in the photo had a special feel to it.

“Let’s go with this one,” he said.

“Okay.”

He turned to look at Ye Zi and realized she was wearing a bathrobe but hadn’t taken off the collar.

She still wore the collar with the Christmas bell, seeming to be especially fond of this little accessory.

Cheng Zhu smiled and reached out a finger to gently flick the bell.

The room immediately echoed with the sound of the bell, “Ding-a-ling…”

In fact, while touching the collar, he was analyzing Ye Zi’s mindset.

Because upon touching the red ribbon of the collar, he found it to be dry and not wet.

This meant she had put it on again after the shower.

“Got hooked on wearing it, huh?” Cheng Zhu chuckled.

Ye Zi lowered her eyelids and said nothing, feeling that her little secrets were seen through by her boss.

When she was giving Cheng Zhu a saliva disinfection while lying on the couch, she had already noticed the strong vitality on him.

After all, the boss was only eighteen years old this year.

Since he said today was a reward for her, could she be a little greedy, just once in a while?

Occasionally, only occasionally.

Maybe the boss was also a bit uncomfortable?

By age, she was the elder, she should be the sister.

And a sister should take a little initiative with her brother.

“Boss, I’ve been self-studying a set of massages online recently, would you like to try it?” Ye Zi’s eyes sparkled.

Cheng Zhu looked down at the phone for the time; indeed, there was some to spare.

“Alright then,” he said reluctantly.

….

….

Time passed, and the new QQ model finally arrived at the hotel lobby and called Ye Zi’s mobile number.

Ye Zi was tidying up the mess at the moment.

The room didn’t need to be spotlessly clean, as she already had an excuse in mind, claiming she stayed there the night before, which was why it was a bit messy.

“I’m leaving now,” Cheng Zhu said, putting on his coat.

“Okay.” Ye Zi saw him to the door.

Cheng Zhu rode the elevator down to the hotel lobby and immediately spotted a girl waiting there.

“The person and the photos and videos sent are not too different,” he thought to himself.

Not bad; overall, she was better than the previous model Xixi.

She had quite attractive eyes.

“But in person, she looks younger than in the photos, probably just over twenty,” Cheng Zhu thought.

The model was just standing in the lobby waiting, but one could clearly see her nervousness, and she even took a simple deep breath.

The young girl was afraid the photographer upstairs might not be satisfied with her upon meeting her.

She completed her deep breath with her head down and lifted it just in time to see Cheng Zhu turn away.

“The guy just now seemed pretty handsome,” she thought to herself.

Little did she know that he was the one who could decide her fate today.

After returning to the elevator, Cheng Zhu pressed the button for the basement two floors, heading for the underground parking lot.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Zi, a casual comment that could change someone’s destiny just a bit:
“Not bad, let’s go with her.”
