Chapter 280: Chapter 235: Counselor at the French Window (Seeking Monthly Pass!) Chapter 280: Chapter 235: Counselor at the French Window (Seeking Monthly Pass!) Are you staying in the room all the time?

Chen Jieyu was already at a mature stage in her life, how could she not realize what was bound to happen today?

Adults need to have an understanding with each other.

So, she just nodded lightly.

“I’m going to the restroom to remove my makeup,” Chen Jieyu said to Cheng Zhu after thinking for a while.

She had gone to sleep just like that last night, without even washing her face or removing her makeup, which was really bad for her skin.

Of course, damaging her skin for just one day wasn’t a big deal; after all, it wasn’t just her skin that got hurt.

Mainly because the makeup couldn’t last that long, and with both crying and sweating, the makeup would significantly deteriorate and wear off–it wasn’t looking delicate at all.

This kind of makeup appearance might as well be bare-faced; it’s like deliberately making oneself look ugly.

When she was eating noodles just now, she didn’t really play with her hair and was always avoiding Cheng Zhu’s gaze; she was actually very dissatisfied with her current state.

Cheng Zhu nodded, “Okay.”

He guessed that although Chen Jieyu said she was going to the restroom to take off her makeup, she would probably remove it and then reapply a light makeup.

He understood this.

In relationships, even when they have become very intimate, there’s often an initial period of “keeping up appearances.”

With time, as they get more comfortable with each other, it gets better.

Everything went as Cheng Zhu had expected; after taking her makeup bag into the bathroom, she didn’t come out for a long time.

“That’s good, a more refined makeup on her makes my experience better, right?” Cheng Zhu didn’t mind, happy to wait.

Eventually, he simply took out his laptop from his computer bag and started working without any distractions.

He opened the backend of “Persistent Visit” and first checked the situation on Taobao.

After shooting to the top of his category, it was like devouring the site’s traffic.

Added to that, Cheng Zhu’s own massive external traffic, it was like having success on two fronts, both taking off.

“This month’s profits might be 30 to 40 percent higher than last month?” Cheng Zhu estimated roughly.

Now, just domestic sales from “Persistent Visit” were set to bring him an annual income that was definitely reaching eight figures.

“The key lies in what number it starts with,” he chuckled, expressing satisfaction.

Export efforts were ongoing steadily. This type of volume-driven model required a process to gradually build up distribution channels; Cheng Zhu wasn’t in a hurry.

Right now, the team handling exports at his workshop wasn’t very mature yet; a sudden boom would likely leave them overwhelmed.

The factory had just finished expanding too.

Having a gradual period of adjustment was actually a blessing.

From being the king of QQ underwear in China to becoming the king of QQ underwear worldwide was a big leap.

Taking too big a step might result in a misstep.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Another five minutes passed before the bathroom door finally opened.

The newly made-up Chen Jieyu walked out wearing slippers.

Cheng Zhu, who was sitting in front of the computer, casually glanced over but was ultimately surprised.

She had switched from the loose, high-waisted trousers she wore yesterday to a hip-hugging skirt and added a pair of stockings.

Different from the black ones before, this time they were flesh-colored stockings.

Stockings really emphasize quality, and Cheng Zhu’s store sold them, so he knew this well.

Especially like flesh-colored stockings, those of poor quality could look very average visually, whereas black stockings, being more prominent in color, could seem slightly better in this regard.

Those good-quality flesh-colored stockings created a so-called–bare leg effect.

From afar, you might not even be able to tell if someone was wearing them or not.

Still, their presence could better shape the legs, reduce bony appearances around areas like the knees, enhancing both the skin tone and the condition of the skin.

Chen Jieyu was wearing those expensive, high-quality flesh-colored stockings.

She was actually a bit conflicted in the bathroom, unsure whether to switch to black or flesh-colored stockings.

She had thought that Cheng Zhu might not notice once she wore them.

However, seeing his look now, he definitely noticed.

Why are his eyes so sharp!

The teacher stood with her legs together, still having a neat appearance, but mentioned, “It’s a bit cold.”

Cheng Zhu nodded in understanding, “It’s gotten cooler.”

With the current weather, turning on the heater felt uncomfortable, but for Chen Jieyu to have bare legs indoors like this, she must still feel somewhat chilly.

Given her physical condition today, it was definitely better not to catch a cold.

Cheng Zhu closed the backend of “Persistent Visit” and then called her over to sit by his side, smiling, “Do you want to find a movie in the computer to watch?”

He had mentioned before that he really liked the sound of rain; listening to rain helped him sleep better, a typical rain enthusiast.

Now, sitting together on the sofa in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the guesthouse, watching a movie while embracing each other as raindrops pelted the large window glass, outside there were trees and a small bamboo forest, the whole atmosphere was actually very good.

Chen Jieyu settled down next to him; Cheng Zhu asked, “Is there a movie you’d like to watch?”

“I’m fine with anything,” she said.

What they watched didn’t actually matter.

She just wanted to enjoy this moment of inner peace and comfort.

Cheng Zhu nodded, randomly picked a newly released movie, and ended up choosing “The Ex-Files.”
