CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 370: FINDING THE SHOPFRONT

Zhen Yu firmly replied, "Yes! Two network managers swapping every day and night! After each of you takes charge of one shop, the main task is supervision!... I don’t need to spell it out, right? Both shops’ ’bars’, I’ll leave entirely to you!"

Zhang San responded to Zhen Yu’s complete trust with a joke, "Looking after the bar is definitely ’hard labor’..."

Li Si’er: "Haha! Yeah..."

They joked, but the message was clear: they both accepted the arrangement.

A few seconds later, Zhang San moved his lips and finally mustered the courage to ask, "Buying shops and computers, do internet cafes really make that much money?"

Zhen Yu laughed with a hint of a Mona Lisa smile, "Once you get a share of the profits, you’ll know everything! I need both shops up and running before school starts in September! By then, I’ll allow each of you to add five more computers!"

Zhen Yu’s expression was serious, "Listen carefully! This is the limit."

Zhang San and Li Si’er nodded solemnly together! Their expressions were very earnest! Both understood that greed could not be limitless.

Seeing their response, Zhen Yu sighed with relief, "There’s one more thing,"

Hearing there was more to say, Zhang San and Li Si’er almost snapped to attention!

Zhen Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, "Why so nervous? What I’m saying is to put up a notice at the door, from now on try to handle all membership card registrations and top-ups mainly on Sundays! Over these six months, gradually sync all customers to recognize and follow this rule as common sense!"

"Okay! Got it!" Li Si’er was used to following orders—no words, just action!

Zhang San immediately grasped the deeper meaning behind Zhen Yu’s decision, "This way, the bulk of the income is concentrated on Sundays, making it easier for us to manage later."

"Good to know! I’m heading upstairs."

Li Si’er nodded, "Yeah! Go ahead!"

Zhang San: "I should head home too, today is Li Si’s shift, and I stayed especially to wait for you."

As Zhen Yu stepped upstairs, she mused, "Although these two have very different personalities, as subordinates they’re quite suitable. I really found treasures back then."

---

Since the idea of buying new computers with gold was off the table for the time being, Zhen Yu naturally had to clarify this with He Baihe! Meanwhile, she also ’sold’ her a USB drive filled with information about male stars for 1 Mall Point, telling her to ’take a good look’ and call her when she had a target in mind.

In the following days, Zhen Yu kept visiting the main street outside Qi University every three or five days, all in pursuit of finding a suitable shop.

And boy! Neither Zhang San nor Li Si’s friends had any leads, but Zhen Yu personally found one.

Double glass doors, the last time Zhen Yu passed by they were spotless! This time though, two huge characters were plastered on the door—For Sale!

Zhen Yu clearly remembered, this was a shop specializing in small household appliances, spanning over two hundred square meters! Not only was it single-story, but the spacious hall lacked any partitions—a lot could be saved on renovations!

Such a great shop should not be missed, or Zhen Yu would be a fool!

So, she pushed the door and rushed inside, heading directly to the counter to find someone! "Excuse me, is the shop owner here?!"

The female clerk asked skeptically, "Young lady, are you a relative of the owner?"

Zhen Yu shook her head, "No! I saw the notice posted at the entrance of your shop, this place is for sale, right?"

"Yes! You’re not planning to buy the shop, are you?" The skepticism was plain on the clerk’s face—she clearly didn’t believe it!

Zhen Yu saw her expression but still nodded firmly. "Yes, I want to buy it! Is the owner here?"

"Stop joking, okay? If you should be at school, then go! Can you really afford a shop this big?! Even I can’t afford it! What kind of silly joke is this coming here, little girl!"

Given such poor treatment, Zhen Yu naturally cooled her demeanor!

"Since you’re employed by this shop’s owner, you should act like an adult. I’ll ask you one more time, is the owner here?"

Zhen Yu’s tone was less than polite, prompting the clerk to become instantly annoyed!

"Ask a hundred times more, it won’t matter! Just leave!" As she spoke, she rolled her eyes, "Really freaking annoying!"

Zhen Yu: "..."

While someone else lacked manners, Zhen Yu wouldn’t stoop so low. Additionally, since it was another woman, she truly didn’t want to waste her time arguing with her. So she turned her head and simply started browsing the store.

Since there was still plenty of time, why not wait a bit longer?!

Seeing this, the clerk became even more agitated. "Hey, are you mentally ill?! I told you to leave, didn’t you hear?!"

Zhen Yu didn’t even glance at her, "Open for business, welcoming customers! Since this is a shop, why can’t I browse?"

While talking, Zhen Yu picked up an electric shaver from the shelf, examining it; it seemed quite suitable for Zhen Yan.

"Put that down!" Following this shout, the clerk hustled out from behind the counter, approaching Zhen Yu with intentions to snatch it away.

Hearing the commotion, Zhen Yu quickly shifted her weight to her left foot, tapped the floor with the tip of her right foot, and spun to the left, dodging away.

"Ah!" The clerk, failing to grab Zhen Yu, screamed as she staggered forward and fell.

Zhen Yu quickly pursed her lips but still reached out her right hand to grab the clerk’s back shirt, preventing her face-plant.

"What happened, what happened?" A worried woman’s voice came from behind the shelves, and soon, she appeared before Zhen Yu. "What’s this fall about? Did you push Xiao Wu?"

Since this newcomer knew the clerk, she must also work here!

"I grabbed her." Zhen Yu told the truth and promptly asked, "May I have the contact information for the shop owner?"

"I am the owner!" The woman declared confidently.

Zhen Yu immediately let go of Xiao Wu’s shirt, "That’s great! I’d like to buy this shop!"

"You?!" The shop owner was extremely surprised! Clearly, she was also doubtful about Zhen Yu’s claim, "You’re not joking, are you?"

"I’m really not!" Zhen Yu said seriously: "My lunch break isn’t long, let’s quickly discuss this!"
