Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 740 - 739: Changing Minds
After turning in the club registration form on the last day before the National Day holiday, Zhen Yu was finally unburdened and light as air.
So for this lengthy National Day Golden Week, Zhen Yu decided to focus on doing just one meaningful thing.
That was writing, diligently writing! Striving to stockpile more manuscripts!
And with this decision of hers, Han Mingyue naturally gives her full support with both hands and feet, but Bai Xue scoffs at the idea!
"I really don’t get your thinking, Xiao Yu! With such great weather, you should go hiking, see some scenery!"
"No! If you want to go, go with Lu Huai! But don’t blame me for not warning you, by then the mountain might be more crowded with people than trees!"
"Nonsense! How could that be?" Bai Xue, inexperienced with traveling, didn’t believe a word of what Zhen Yu said.
"Pfft!" Zhen Yu couldn’t be bothered to persuade any further! Just wait and see, after Bai Xue gets a social beating, she’ll learn what a ’sea of people’ really is...
Since everyone had different plans for the holiday, there was no pressure to gather together!
Only Han Mingyue stayed with Zhen Yu and temporarily moved into her house near Beijing University.
The two spent days writing and chatting, sharing knowledge and guiding each other; at night, they discussed love, watched TV, and sometimes didn’t forget to talk about their studies.
If it weren’t for Zhen Yan coming over every now and then to create a mess a couple of times, life would really have been as cozy as an old married couple...
Fortunately, Zhen Yan had completely started to treat Han Mingyue as a brother-in-law! Seeing how happily the two got along, he came over just twice and then stopped visiting.
——
For the adoring young couple, seven days really flew by! It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the holiday was over.
But for the world, every hour, every minute, every second of those seven days, big events were happening.
Rarely having any free time, Zhen Yu would go online almost every day! So it was within just this short week, she discovered several major events!
First was a news report mentioning how many websites now offer free online novels for readers, but the quality of content varied greatly, so the author urgently called for the relevant authorities to pay high attention!
The report also listed nearly all the current online literature portals, several of which, to Zhen Yu’s memory, shouldn’t exist in 2001! Like a certain green one, a certain point...
Moreover! Zhen Yu also found many TXT format novels in a certain website’s shared documents section! These files were downloaded an incredible number of times, clearly marking that they were primarily for mobile reading support! This indicates that reading novels on mobile phones has become a very common trend!
Finally, and what shocked Zhen Yu the most, was that some treasure site seemingly appeared out of nowhere! It’s just not widely known yet.
Zhen Yu found it by chance! After registering and logging into the website, she discovered that even the related payment treasure could only have cards created and cash deposited at designated banks! It could be considered very primitive!
But all of this showed one thing! That is, the world Zhen Yu was living in was rapidly developing!
So after finishing the last lunch of the holiday, Zhen Yu, who had been waiting for a callback from Factory Director Lu without success, finally made up her mind to proactively give him a call.
Her goal was very simple and direct! She wanted money! Cash!
——
"Factory Director Lu, you don’t have to struggle with the problem of stock exchange anymore! Just give me a reasonable price within a week, and I’ll agree to sell that 25% of shares, even 30%!"
Factory Director Lu, who picked up the phone, was so stunned by this pie falling from the sky that he hadn’t even had the chance to say a word. "Am I hearing this right? Are you serious? You really want to sell directly?!"
"Absolutely! When have I ever joked with you?" Zhen Yu said seriously.
"Then it’s decided! Three days! Oh no! Five days! I’ll definitely give you a reasonable answer within five days!" Factory Director Lu, afraid to miss this opportunity, almost instinctively slapped the table and agreed without thinking. Then he excitedly said, "I need to hurry and notify everyone to come for a meeting! I’ll stop talking now, Zhen Yu!"
"Okay, you’re busy! I’m hanging up!" Zhen Yu courteously hung up first.
The moment she took the phone away from her ear, Han Mingyue frowned and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Hey!" Zhen Yu didn’t care much and honestly replied, "Rather than dragging on like before, I’d rather use the money for something else! It’s a complete waste of my precious time to keep haggling with them!"
"Heh, something else? You know, as long as you don’t agree to sell, you’ll get dividends during this time anyway! Plus, Factory Director Lu can’t possibly drag things on for much longer, they will agree to your previous terms! So..."
"I know they’ll agree sooner or later! But the problem is, for me right now, time is money! I can’t wait to open a Hanfu shop in the Capital!"
——
When she thought about it, she acted on it! After a lunch break, Zhen Yu dragged Han Mingyue to accompany her as she plunged into the busiest commercial street surrounding Beijing University.
After some field investigation, Zhen Yu then hung up a sign at the real estate agency.
Seeking a popular shop! As long as the size and location are good!
Those ten words at the end truly displayed an attitude of wealthy capriciousness...
Han Mingyue suggested Zhen Yu change it, but she refused. She insisted that she wanted the best shop in the area! Without such wording, who would come knocking on her door?!
Han Mingyue had no choice but to let her be, and took Zhen Yu back to school for dinner before sending her back to the dormitory.
Because to avoid affecting classes the next day, Zhen Yu, who occasionally went home on weekends, always returned to the dormitory the last night before the holiday ended as per usual.
This time, just as she walked in the door, she heard Shi Mei’s outspoken rant!
"...This world is so strange! I’m finding it harder and harder to understand love! Tell me, do those girls have holes in their brains?! They’re all rushing to jump into the fire! You can’t even stop them!"
"What’s going on? Who’s upset our Shi Gan now?" Zhen Yu inquired curiously with a chuckle.
Before Shi Mei could answer, You Qing immediately filled Zhen Yu in!
"You probably don’t know since you’ve been living off-campus! Xing Ming is involved in gossip again! And it’s not just with one girl! Just from what we’ve heard, there are already two quite pretty freshmen! Doing things like going hiking and watching movies..."
This news instantly stunned Zhen Yu, almost disorienting her. It took her a while to respond and ask, "So those girls aren’t fighting with each other?"
Shi Mei’s temper flared up again at the mention of this.
"Exactly! Such a disgrace to women!"
