Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 109, Section 107: Grand Opening

The class monitor took the lead by skipping class, setting a positive example.

So none of the boys in room 501 went to the classroom. They ate breakfast by the roadside and then went back to sleep until noon.

At 12 o'clock sharp, Zhou Mingyuan got up, washed up, and went out to Beiyuan to welcome the first day of the opening of the Jieyou Coffee Shop.

Several enthusiastic roommates who insisted on going to support him were with him.

At the entrance of the Relief Cafe, the waitress and the beautiful owner stood together, busily preparing for the opening.

"Hurry up, hurry up! You have to be right on time. We're waiting for you to set off the firecrackers!"

Upon seeing Zhou Mingyuan and his roommates from a distance, Gu Caiwei immediately waved and greeted them with a bright smile.

"Are these your friends? Welcome, welcome!"

"Yes, they are all my roommates, who came here especially to support us."

While agreeing, Zhou Mingyuan introduced several roommates to Gu Caiwei.

"Go to the inner room and get the firecrackers from Xiao Lizhi. I'll hang the flowers up."

"Ok."

The man entered the coffee shop with three helpers.

Outside the shop is a beautiful and charming female owner, while inside at the bar, another short-haired shareholder has a completely different style.

Li Zhi was dressed in a formal wrap dress, her high heels clicking crisply on the coffee shop floor. Her steps were elegant and brisk, making her look every bit the part of a white-collar professional.

She was carefully decorating the shop with the newly bought bouquets, her every move meticulous.

"You're here."

The moment she saw Zhou Mingyuan and his friends enter the house, she subconsciously tidied her short hair at her temples and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

Compared to the enthusiastic greetings from Boss Gu, Li Zhi merely nodded to the unfamiliar guests, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and continued to give instructions to Zhou Mingyuan.

"The firecrackers are in the inner room. Go get them; it's almost time."

Since ancient times, merchants in various regions have valued the concept of good fortune.

Most new store openings involve decorating the storefront, reflecting the importance that businesses place on their opening date.

Li Zhi, who hails from Guangdong Province, is no exception, placing great importance on this sense of ritual.

She specially asked the law firm for half a day off and rushed over early in the morning to help with the decorations and preparations for the celebration. She also bought firecrackers and bouquets.

"Sister Jing, could you please make them four cups of coffee?"

After arranging the last bouquet of flowers, Li Zhi watched Zhou Mingyuan and the others leave after collecting the firecrackers, and then gave instructions to barista Li Jing.

Despite her cold exterior, this short-haired girl is actually quite thoughtful.

"Grand Opening! Great Fortune!"

The sound of firecrackers filled the air as the employees of Relief Coffee set off firecrackers together, officially opening for business amidst a crowd of onlookers.

It was lively; the three boys in room 501 felt lively from beginning to end.

"Don't let the fact that it's the first day of business fool you, there are already quite a few people here."

They said they came to help, but the shop had waiters, baristas, and two stunningly beautiful female owners.

The three roommates were of no help at all, sitting in a corner of the dining area, sipping their free coffee.

Cai Zhipeng stared intently at the crowd and let out a sigh.

Watching the excitement seems to be a trait ingrained in the Chinese people.

The new store opening was marked by a flurry of firecrackers, and naturally, many young people walking along Beiyuan Road came in to look around.

With the door wide open, passersby could easily spot Gu Caiwei and Li Zhi sitting in the middle of the bar by simply turning their gaze slightly to the side.

What exactly is a "visual representative"?

The two women, one bright and beautiful and the other aloof and elegant, were a sight to behold simply by standing near the shop entrance, attracting the attention of passersby.

"A cappuccino, please." "An iced Americano, please."

"Boss, hot milk, extra sugar."

As time went by, the number of customers quickly increased.

"Where do you think Lao Zhou got to know so many beautiful women?"

After observing for a long time from the corner, Xiong Yao couldn't help but ask a thought-provoking question.

Du Jianuo's live stream attracted a lot of attention. After spending a few minutes advertising, it easily reached most of the school.

Therefore, many of the guests who kept coming in were actually students from the nearby Nanhu University.

One pretty girl after another walked into the store. Some had glamorous makeup, and some were dressed scantily, but no matter how you looked at them, Xiong Yao felt that they couldn't compare to the two sitting at the bar.

That's truly beautiful.
"I don't know either."

Cai Zhipeng was lost in thought, and he was tired of saying the word "envy" to himself.

Within ten seconds of seeing Gu Caiwei, he felt as if he had fallen from a height of ten thousand meters, landing in the shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, and suddenly felt like he was experiencing his first love all over again.

This type of girl is simply irresistible!

I helped her set off the firecrackers, heard her say thank you, and then took a cup of coffee from her.

Cai Zhipeng felt that this smiling female boss was exactly his ideal type since childhood.

After sitting down in the dining area with his roommates, Cai Zhipeng barely looked at anyone else, focusing instead on Gu Caiwei next to Zhou Mingyuan.

She smiled at the guests, and Cai Zhipeng secretly grinned as well.

She politely said goodbye to the guests, and Cai Zhipeng thought she was very courteous.

She and the short-haired girl next to her must have been best friends, chattering away non-stop. Cai Zhipeng noticed that even the way she squinted her eyes was incredibly charming.

Immediately afterwards, the short-haired girl went into the inner room, seemingly to retrieve something, and Zhou Mingyuan came over.

Hey!
No, what are you doing!
Cai Zhipeng's expression froze on the spot.

He watched as Zhou Mingyuan gently hooked his arm around the girl's shoulder, naturally leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.

The next second, Gu Caiwei pursed her cherry lips and giggled, amused by the man.

Her soft, sweet voice melted into the noise inside the store.

Fuck!
First love comes quickly, but heartbreak is even more overwhelming and sudden.

Cai Zhipeng took a deep breath, turned his head away, tried to control his emotions, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Upon closer inspection, I spotted several familiar faces.

"Zhao Xue, Zhao Xue! Sit here!"

He stood up, a smile returning to his face, and waved to the four girls who had just entered the store.

The visitors were none other than the four beauties from dormitory 203.

How strange, their outfits today, like plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, each have their own unique charm, it seems...
It seems like they're all wearing makeup!

Cai Zhipeng gestured for Xiong Yao to take the four-person table next to him and walked over.

"Vivi!"

Zhao Xue leaned against the edge of the bar with one hand and pointed to her roommates beside her: "My roommate and I came to support you guys."

Welcome everyone!

All who come are guests, Gu Caiwei said with her signature smile.

"Please come in and have a seat. We're all family here. After you've chosen what you want to drink, we'll have Boss Zhou bring it to you."

She pointed to an empty seat not far away, her gaze falling on Zhong Yujun, who was the last to leave.
