Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 255 - Chapter 255 Chapter 221 Simply Innovate

Chapter 255: Chapter 221: Simply Innovate Chapter 255: Chapter 221: Simply Innovate The next day, Hu Yan woke up on the hotel’s large bed.

Last night, she had several messy dreams.

But after waking up, her memory of the content was rather blurry.

She hadn’t slept well.

“What a pain the boss is!”

“Or should I call him Cheng Zhu now?”

At this thought, Hu Yan suddenly wanted to laugh, realizing that she actually knew him better in real life.

“He doesn’t know my real name.”

“He hasn’t seen what I look like either, I was wearing a mask yesterday.”

“In essence, in our unplanned offline meeting, he ended up revealing more about himself!”

To this day, she still hadn’t replied to the WeChat message Cheng Zhu had sent her yesterday.

Because Hu Yan really didn’t know how to interact with him.

Before, the idea was just to be online friends forever, wasn’t that whatever I wanted it to be?

Between him and me, there are only two layers of relationships.

The first layer is an online friendship, we chat occasionally.

The second layer is a financial relationship, I take his money.

Huh? Putting these two together, it seems like the relationship is pretty complicated!

After a night of adjustment, Hu Yan felt it wasn’t really a big deal.

“I live in Shanghai, the boss lives in Hang City.”

“When I leave Hang City, we’ll still interact like online friends.”

“As long as we don’t meet privately, there won’t be any contact.”

“The only difference now is, I know his name and identity, and also that he is… well, quite handsome.”

“At most, it’s like having met an online friend offline once.”

She thought that her junior sister having a schoolmate relationship and being in the same school was more troublesome.

After getting up from the bed, Hu Yan’s gaze rested on several stuffed toys on the table.

She had grabbed them yesterday at “Youu Come to Play.”

Thinking it over, she felt constantly ignoring the sugar daddy’s messages was disrespectful to the client.

Frankly, before meeting Cheng Zhu, she was almost unable to make ends meet, utterly broke.

So, she took pictures of the stuffed toys and sent them to Cheng Zhu along with a text: “Boss, I was too nervous yesterday and didn’t know how to reply. I caught these at the store in the afternoon.”

“Considering I spent money in your store, please don’t be too harsh on me, a small contractor.”

She also added a “please” emoticon.

–I’m broke, so I really lack dignity!

Her chats with Cheng Zhu were always similar in manner.

Only when they flirted did she switch to another persona.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu replied, “Too late, already scouting for a new artist.”

“Ah? Really?” Hu Yan was shocked.

“When did you find out the store was mine?” Cheng Zhu asked.

Seeing he wasn’t continuing the topic about scouting a new artist, Hu Yan knew he was just scaring her and immediately relaxed.

“It was after I arrived in Hang City yesterday.”

Hu Yan briefly explained what had happened.

After finishing, she asked Cheng Zhu, “So how did the boss know Jingjing and I were friends?”

She was a bit curious.

“Of course, I saw the interaction on your Moments.”

Hu Yan thought, “So it was because of that.”

She was quite regretful.

If I hadn’t commented under my junior sister’s Moment, how good that would have been.

Then perhaps, I could have spied on him as I had initially thought!

But now, it’s all social suicide, awkwardness, and passiveness!

On Cheng Zhu’s end, he was rather speechless.

He never imagined that Hu Yan discovered him because when they talked about the owner of the claw machine store, she asked out of curiosity, “Is he handsome?”

He silently noted this conversation and the question Hu Yan asked Yue Lingjing in his heart.

Maybe he could use it in the future!

After chatting a few more sentences, Cheng Zhu had to get back to work and ended the chat.

Hu Yan had nothing much in the morning, but in the afternoon, she and Yue Lingjing had plans to visit Lingyin Temple.

Today was Friday, and compared to the weekend, Lingyin Temple would definitely be less crowded.

….

….

On the other side, Cheng Zhu, who didn’t have morning classes, drove to Room 212 in the East Building.

“Sheep” underwent small changes every few days.

Two days ago, he ordered Wei Bo to weaken the “Props” feature.

In the game, there are “Props,” one of which can scramble the arrangement.

Meaning, when you might no longer be able to continue eliminating, using this prop could give you another chance.

Initially, Wei Bo had set this “Prop” as quite a functional one.

Basically, after use, you could continue eliminating.

After trying a few times, Cheng Zhu immediately said, “Nerf it! Nerf it for me!”

When he arrived at Room 212, the three rascals from Room 309 were also there.

Tomorrow, Class 2 of Computer Science was going on an autumn outing.

Cheng Zhu agreed to cover for Liu Feng and had already planned it out, arranging for the students to watch an open-air movie on the lawn in front of the hostel.

He casually chose a youth film and asked Liu Feng to watch this movie several times in the next few days, aiming to memorize the plot thoroughly.

But he didn’t inform him precisely how to proceed, deliberately piquing the interest of these three godsons.

So, the moment he saw Liu Feng, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Quite the look, Chuaner, you even went for a perm yesterday, didn’t you?” Cheng Zhu teased.

These days, many college students still loved perming their hair, unlike before Cheng Zhu’s rebirth when the number of guys perming seemed to be gradually decreasing.

Cheng Zhu personally wasn’t a fan of permed hair, after all, there’s a saying: “The three legal gambles today: perming hair, getting married, buying durian.”

Who knows what the outcome will be!

If you tell the hairstylist you want light curls, they’ll guarantee light curls, but the final result is mostly either too curly, or like you never permed it at all–definitely not what you imagined.

Right now, Liu Feng was in this situation, to the extent that Dong Dong had stopped calling him “Chuaner” and directly referred to him as “Curly.”

At that moment, Liu Feng, wanting to cry but without tears, fumbled with his hair: “Brother Zhu, stop teasing, I’m thinking about straightening it tonight.”

This damn hair makes me look like a Teddy bear; the hairstylist could blow it into a nice hairstyle, but Liu Feng himself couldn’t manage it.

Present-day Cheng Zhu was a bit out of touch with these young people’s troubles.

Moreover, his aesthetic preferences didn’t align with those of young people nowadays.

Like how college students now loved wearing cropped pants or rolling up their pant legs, inevitably exposing their ankles in autumn, Cheng Zhu didn’t appreciate it.

Thus, Cheng Zhu stayed in the East Building until 1:30 PM.

After 1:30, he drove to the “Persistent Visit” studio.

After all, they were going to the hostel tomorrow, and he had some matters to settle in advance.

Interestingly, nowadays, everyone’s desk in the studio had at least two cups of milk tea.

These milk teas were all delivered by the four sisters from next door, as per Cheng Zhu’s instructions.

Since the four girls were quite attractive, it made the men in the studio quite happy.

After finishing up in his office, Cheng Zhu even made a point to visit them.

As he arranged, the four girls had different assignments now.

Liu Tian was already brewing Black Sugar Boba today.

She was quite surprised–how did the boss come up with this way of making pearls?

Were they sure it would taste good?

“How’s it coming along?” Cheng Zhu asked as he entered Liu Tian’s room.

“It should be flavored by now and already softened.”

Some black sugar was added to the pot, followed by hot water, then some tapioca pearls were poured in.

Tapioca pearls are material used to make boba.

Cheng Zhu looked down and felt it was almost done.

Then, he scooped some out with a spoon and placed them into a cup.

He was initially going to pour milk directly over it.

Then he thought again, no, no, that’s not the right way.

“Now I’m someone with experience making milk tea, I should know how to make it more visually appealing!”

He started stirring with a spoon inside the cup, sticking the black sugar syrup to the cup’s sides.

Hanging on the walls is the essence!

After this, he slowly poured in hot milk, immediately creating layers.

Finally, he poured a bit of cheese cream on top, sprinkled some sugar powder, and briefly used a torch on it, instantly creating a cup of Black Sugar Boba Milk Tea!

He tasted it himself and found the flavor alright.

There was certainly room for improvement, but the direction was correct.

“Try making it yourself following my method.”

Liu Tian nodded and proceeded as instructed.

Honestly, she didn’t grasp what the boss was up to.

The whole operation was too simple, though the use of a torch seemed a bit fancy.

Yet, she didn’t think it would taste good this way.

However, after making it, she took a sip and was instantly impressed!

–Delicious!

It’s the taste I like!

She was a bit shocked.

This young boss just casually created an innovation in the tea industry?

Many things might seem simple.

But the premise is that you have to think of them first!

Many well-known tea brands have their own R&D teams working on this.

But releasing a tasty product is not that simple!

Honestly, its taste is indeed different from the milk teas available in the market!

Especially the texture of the pearls!

And it indeed needs better quality milk.

As the workers looked on in astonishment, Cheng Zhu calmly made another cup.

He felt the previous cup was too sweet and rich, so this time he added a bit less black sugar boba.

After finishing, he picked up his phone and started texting Lin Lu.

“Where are you? I’ll come over to return the car.”

“I’m at the apartment, you can come over.” Lin Lu replied.

Cheng Zhu put his phone in his pocket, picked up the milk tea he hadn’t finished, and the one he had just made, and headed downstairs.

Let Baby Lu taste my handiwork!
