Chapter 38

Seeing that the time was almost up, he said hello and ran to the west gate.

He found a place on the road, and when he reappeared, he was already wearing lulu clothes, a gray round-neck short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body, khaki casual shorts close to the knees on the lower body, and a pair of blue Allbirds mid-top casual sneakers.

Youthful and fashionable, with charming style.

All the military training students had dispersed, and most of them went back to their dormitories to rest.When meeting new students in twos and threes on the road, many would look Cao Si in the eye.

Walking through the west gate and walking into Nanbin Institute of Technology, Cao Si came to deliver military training items to Zhou Lixia today. She will start intensive military training tomorrow. Thinking that everyone has made arrangements, Zhou Lixia should not be missing.

When approaching Zhou Lixia's dormitory area, Cao Si turned into a deserted corner. When he came out again, he had pulled a small cart with 8 energy drinks on it and carried a large bag on his back.

Of course, Zhou Lixia can't finish 8 pieces of energy drinks by herself, so she can share them with her roommates to drink together.After more than ten days of military training, I drank two bottles a day in the morning and afternoon, which was more than enough for one person.

Cao Si dragged the drink along the way, and the wheels rubbed against the uneven school road, making a loud noise, which attracted the attention of many polytechnic students.

He dragged it all the way downstairs to the girl, and after a tacit greeting with the dormitory auntie, Cao Si moved up.

Cao Si had already checked with Zhou Lixia when she went out, and she was currently nesting in the dormitory.

I moved 4 items at once, a total of 60 bottles, and it was quite a lot to carry up the stairs.

Girls kept looking at Cao Si curiously as he went upstairs and downstairs. He was carrying boxes upstairs, his muscles were bulging, and he exuded irresistible masculine charm.

Finally, he moved to the door of Zhou Lixia's dormitory and knocked on the door. Without waiting for Zhou Lixia's surprise, he took off his bag and threw it to her, saying, "Look at the bag for me first. There are still 4 items that have not been moved."

Cao Si rushed down again, and after a while he climbed up again sweating profusely.

"I'm exhausted from climbing stairs!"

Zhou Lixia's roommate had already moved the box in. When she saw him coming up again, she quickly came over to help.

The other three girls except Zhou Lixia hurriedly thanked Cao Si and waved his hand. Just as he was about to wipe his sweat, Zhou Lixia wiped it with him with a tissue.

Zhou Lixia was so moved that she patiently wiped Cao Si's face, behind his ears, and neck. Her face turned a little red while wiping, and she didn't know if it was because she saw Cao Si's pectoralis major muscles under the T-shirt.

Cao Si felt the relief of his sweat being wiped away, and whispered: "Thank you."

"It's me who should thank you. Thank you for your hard work."

Cao Si waved his hand, "It's okay." He took out a lot of items from his bag, including towels, insoles, knee pads, wet wipes, breathable socks, heat-relieving medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, sunscreen, abrasion medicine, gauze, etc., Cao Si Si one by one told the purpose and usage.

There are four girls in the dormitory. If it is only provided to Zhou Lixia but not to her roommates, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for her.Cao Si doesn't care about her roommate, but she has to consider her daily living situation.

After taking out all the above, Cao Si took the bag and signaled Zhou Lixia to go out, and took out some things from the bag, which were a light and breathable sports coverall with stickers, and a special breathable pad between the legs and crotch.

Zhou Lixia was a little confused when she saw it, did the boy give these to herself?
Seeing that Cao Si was very focused on the introduction, I had no choice but to endure my shame and listen to him patiently explain how to use and replace it.

I just can't help but wonder why he is so nice to me. What's even more puzzling is that he seems to know a lot about me and understands himself very well. I still haven't figured out how he knows me.

Finally, after all the introductions, Cao Si said: "I've given it all to you. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Zhou Lixia was a little reluctant to leave, "I'll treat you to dinner."

Several other roommates also said: "Let's stay and have dinner together! Thank you for coming here after all the hard work and giving me a lot of things."

Cao Si raised his wrist and looked at it, "No, I have an appointment with someone tonight. Let's talk about it another day when we are free!"

"Then I'll take it to you."

Accompanying Cao Si to leave the girls' dormitory, dragging a small trailer and walking in silence all the way.

Zhou Lixia was touched, but didn't know how to continue to express her gratitude. However, Cao Si enjoyed walking side by side with her. He was already very happy without talking about anything.

All the way to the east gate of Nanbin Institute of Technology, Cao Si stopped and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Zhou Lixia said softly, "Yeah." Looking into Cao Si's eyes, she had something to say but didn't continue, and lowered her head slightly.

Cao Si was also a little reluctant to give up. Seeing that Zhou Lixia was a little unhappy, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, "Okay, I'll come see you later. Remember to wear sunscreen during the military training these days. Don't look like black coal when you arrive."

Zhou Lixia said "hmm" like a mosquito, turned around and ran away.

Cao Si laughed, she was shy after all!

----

Senior brother Panda continued to make an appointment, and the two of them were going to inspect the operation of sports shoes and clothing stores in Nanbin City.

After looking at the statue of the Flying Goddess on the car in front of him for a long time, Panda was surprised and asked: "Is this car yours?"

Cao Si sat in the driver's seat: "Yes."

Panda was clumsily about to open the passenger door, but it popped open on its own. With a slight pull, the door opened wide.After sitting in the position, Panda moaned comfortably: "It feels so good!"

"The first time I sat in a Rolls-Royce, I didn't expect it was September 1999, 9. I must remember this day." Cao Si laughed: "Do a good job, and you can buy and drive it yourself in the future. Just buy it There are seven of them, one on Monday and one on Tuesday, and they change every day, all with different numbers."

Panda slapped her thigh hard: "Okay, let's do it!"

Cao Si showed off his car to Pan Da to continue to strengthen his determination to do things.This young man does not have any pressure to survive and a strong motivation to improve his life. It is often difficult for him to devote himself wholeheartedly to a career.

Neither his internal needs nor external pressure were enough to push him to a higher position. Now he can easily achieve the goal that inspired him with a luxury car.

Panda could no longer care about the business to be done tonight. He looked like a curious baby and asked about the car for a long time. He patted and touched it everywhere. If in the future, he would have taken a lot of short videos.

He also asked Cao Si why he had a driver's license just after he entered college. Cao Si smiled and said nothing. Panda felt that he had asked a stupid question and quickly shut up. However, he could not hold back the excitement on his face.

Cao Si has reached adulthood after finishing the college entrance examination. He just returned to 1999 and quickly took care of some urgent matters. He took care of his car, driver's license and even more personal and valuable vehicles that he could take out.

Find a luxury hotel in the city to have dinner first.Cao Si chose the place not because of its taste, but because it was very convenient to park his car in a luxury hotel in the center. The parking space was spacious. There were many luxury cars coming in and out, so it was not too eye-catching.

It even parked directly opposite the exit of the hotel lobby, with security guards and doormen helping to keep an eye on it, and the cost was only one ticket for four great people.

After a simple dinner, the two set off from the hotel and headed towards the pedestrian street.

Nanbin urban area is huge and currently has multiple commercial center areas.The old neighborhood, with the pedestrian street as the center and radiating outwards, is still the most popular area in Nanbin and has the most brands. It is indispensable if you want to inspect shoes and clothing stores.

The two chatted while walking, and Panda introduced to Cao Si the specific conditions of the surrounding business district and the general development of the brand.

Along the way, you can see some traditional clothing and shoe brands that are no longer familiar to future generations but are very popular today, while sports brands are relatively rare, such as Li Ning, Anta, Nike, Adidas, etc.

Cao Si couldn't help but shake his head and nod. The turn of the new century is a golden period of development. There are still a large number of industries that have not really formed a large scale and are just budding. The young people of the new era have a lot to do.

"Brother Da, do you know the newly renovated shop next to the school supermarket?"

Panda said: "I know."

Immediately he asked in shock: "Is that yours too?"

Cao Si shook his head: "It's ours." Cao Si didn't care about the ownership of the property. Anyway, he didn't lack it at the moment.

"Are you interested in becoming the store manager of this store first?"

Panda pointed at himself: "Am I the store manager?"

Cao Si nodded: "Yes. Our store will first sell sports shoes and clothing. You have the supply channels, so it is not difficult to operate."

"How is it? Are you interested?"

Panda touched his chin: "Okay, I'll try."

"It's definitely no problem. You can think about how to operate it first."

Panda suddenly became excited, "I have thought about what I would do if I did it myself. I have been passing by it every day recently, and I had already guessed that it might be a store selling clothes and shoes, but I didn't expect that it was specifically used to sell sports shoes and clothes."

"Then tell me."

"Low price, full range."

Cao Si shook his head: "Brother Da, your thinking is not right."

Panda felt a little guilty. The school was full of college students and they didn't have much extra money. How could they sell expensive products if they didn't sell them in the low-price market?

"Asi, tell me."

"First of all, you must understand that our store has two purposes in the first one or two months. One is to let you practice your skills, and the other is to test the value of the store display."

"This store is not to make money, but to lay a foundation for the Allbirds brand. When it is officially launched, we will transform it into a display center for the new brand."

"In the initial operation, you can consider displaying sportswear and sneakers in three price ranges, high, middle and low, and then collect data to see what price ranges of shoes and clothing students can accept and what percentage of each can be achieved."

Panda suddenly understood and nodded sharply, "Then I probably understand."

Cao Si added: "This store still recruits clerks from students, but it has requirements for clerks. They must have a good image, and the most important thing is to have a sense of sports and fashion. This is particularly important."

"After all, our store sells sportswear." Cao Si emphasized after a pause.

"Part of the store staff can recruit some students from poor families, and provide student assistance at the same time, which is also a good deed."

"Okay. I'll think about what to do!"

The two continued to shop around, and also absorbed some unique experiences in store decoration and personnel services of brands with huge customer traffic.

Cao Si and Panda were walking around in the urban area. At the same time, the opposite of Liu Jie in the library was empty again. They couldn't help being a little surprised. The little junior who could be seen from time to time sometimes didn't appear, unknowingly It left some impression on people.
