Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 38 38. Are You Worthy? (Please Read)

"Please, Lychee Baby~"

"Little sweet pear~"

The setting sun dyed half the sky red, and the rippling waters of Nanhu Lake reflected two graceful figures holding hands.

"You can't go away!"

The short-haired girl curled her lips and spoke unhappily.

"Please, Weiwei, think about it carefully. That place just closed down. The feng shui must be bad."

After crossing the road, you will see Beiyuan Street, the junction of Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics and Nanhu University.

"You people from Guangdong Province are superstitious!"

Gu Caiwei giggled, and two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"The China News Agency even published an article saying that summer is steaming like a dream, and it's the era of innovation and entrepreneurship!"

"It's rare to see a support program from the national level to the school level. Wouldn't it be nice to try or respond to the policy?"

The two walked towards Beiyuan step by step in the afterglow of the sunset.

"The school supports innovative and entrepreneurial projects. Can this be considered entrepreneurship?"

Li Zhi turned her head, feeling both angry and amused.

"I see you just want to drink coffee every day, but you can't find a suitable place."

"It's no use acting like a spoiled child. I won't play around with you."

There was once a girl from Shanghai who topped the trending search list with the phrase "I want to buy coffee!"

What's running in the blood of Shanghainese?
Many people will probably tell you, yes, it’s coffee.

The same is true for Gu Caiwei. Drinking coffee is a small part of her life, and she really can't get used to it without it.

"I don't have any~~~"

Gu Caiwei stretched out her voice, shook her best friend's slender arm, and really started to act coquettishly.

"I've put a lot of thought into this!"

"Then tell me?"

The short-haired girl opened her cherry lips slightly.

"This Jieyou shop was bought very cheaply to begin with. We can choose a minimalist industrial style for the decor, and second-hand coffee machines for the equipment. It should be around 20 yuan. We should be able to do it."

Gu Caiwei said this with a smile, pressing herself close to her bestie, a look of anticipation on her face.

"Investing 20 yuan in a coffee shop?"

"Yes, there may be labor costs later. We'll talk about it then."

Li Zhi frowned: "How much do you have?"

"I've made some money in the stock market recently. I can come up with a hundred thousand!"

"."

Li Zhi pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"For the sake of our sisterhood over the years, I can only give you 30,000 yuan to support you."

The short-haired girl rolled her eyes at the other person.

"So what about the rest?"

Gu Caiwei said in a sullen voice, "The stock market has been booming lately. If you move your capital, you'll miss out."

"How dare you say that? You tricked me into speculating in the stock market and I lost all my New Year's money!"

The two found a dessert shop and sat down. Li Zhi crossed her arms, still looking cool and aloof.

"You're trying to trick me again, talking about innovation and entrepreneurship."

"I don't care, figure it out yourself."

"Alright, alright, baby, thirty thousand is thirty thousand."

Gu Caiwei stuck out her tongue. Seeing that her best friend was not swayed, she took out her phone from her bag and swiped it around boredly.

otherwise.
Ask your family for some support?
Before she even looked at her family’s WeChat, the first thing she saw was the Fruit Princess WeChat group.

Gu Caiwei suddenly had an idea and typed a line of words.

@fandazi2, do you want to start a business together?

【? 】

The other party responded almost instantly.

[We'll discuss the details in person! The usual place! ]

It’s the same old place.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Mingyuan appeared at the Jieyouqing Bar on Beiyuan Pedestrian Street where he met Gu Caiwei for the first time.

"Huh? Jieyouqing Bar is closing down already?"

He stared at the dark, illuminated plaque and the [For Sale at Low Price] notice and couldn't help but sigh.

Even though he had studied in college for four years nearby, the turnover rate and survival rate of Beiyuan stores had always been a mystery to him.

Even if a restaurant has delicious food and is considered a treasure, it may suddenly go bankrupt one day in the future.

"Yeah~ I'm planning to buy this place and open a cafe. What do you think?"

Gu Caiwei held Li Zhi's arm, and they both wore the same knee-length skirt and white sneakers of different sizes. One was charming and the other was cool, attracting the attention of passers-by on the street.

".This is what you call entrepreneurship?"

"What's wrong? Don't underestimate this small coffee shop. Maybe it will become a chain store in the future."

Gu Caiwei straightened her back, her eyes shining.

"Okay, okay, just tell me straight out, how much do you want me to pay?"

Zhou Mingyuan doesn't want to listen to other people's empty promises.

He is familiar with many coffee chain stores, but they are called Luckin Coffee.

Looking at the mess in the Jieyouqing Bar in front of him, he couldn't help but question himself.

In this steamy and dreamy summer, the whole country is filled with entrepreneurial enthusiasm and vitality from top to bottom.

But is this what most startups are like?
Instead, it seems like an investment game that rich girls join on a whim.

"It doesn't need to be much, just 70,000 will be enough!"

Gu Caiwei smiled and stretched out her hand, put her four fingers together, and put them close to her thumb to make a number.

As someone who had stood by Zhou Mingyuan and witnessed the ups and downs of seven-figure sums firsthand, Gu Caiwei was well aware of his strength. Forget 70,000, even adding a zero to the end would be enough for this guy.

"I've asked the boss about the price, and we've already negotiated the lowest price, including some ice-making equipment and basic utensils. He said we can keep them all."

"From now on, I will be the majority shareholder, and you and Lizhi will be minority shareholders. Just wait for the dividends and make money!"

The cheerful girl stood with her hands on her hips, her cascading brown hair fluttering in the wind.

At the same time, after finishing a whole day's work, He Min was invited by her schoolmate Du Jianuo to have dinner at a restaurant.

"I'm sorry, Sister Minmin."

Du Jianuo sat alone in the box, looking listless.

As soon as she saw the person coming, she pulled out a chair and said.

"what's wrong?"

He Min pushed open the door wearing a black blazer, a V-neck base layer, and a white mid-length skirt with a naturally draped A-line silhouette. The light brown pointed high heels on her feet made a clicking sound.

She looked brand new from head to toe, and even her eyes were filled with confidence.

"I don't want to sign a contract with Zhou Lu and Zhou Mingyuan anymore."

Du Jianuo didn't notice He Min's change at all. He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"why?"

He Min sat down next to her and asked curiously.

"Because he's a liar!"

Du Jianuo raised his head and couldn't help raising his voice.

"He's not even a lawyer! He's our junior, and he's only a freshman this year!"

The girl pushed her curls away from her ears, as if the action would help her thoughts clear.

"Those operating methods he said were probably all bragging, Sister Minmin. I'm really ridiculous, right? I believed them all that night."

"I'm so childish."

Du Jianuo paused for a few seconds, and his tone was filled with unconcealable disappointment.

"For him, I even turned down another company's offer! They were willing to pay me 300,000 yuan to be an MCN, and all their resources were allocated to me."

"Do you think I'm special?"

As he was speaking, Du Jianuo stopped involuntarily, not hearing the comfort he had imagined.

There was no joint attack from the other party out of empathy after the liar was exposed.

She raised her head and saw senior He Min's meaningful expression.

"Nono."

He Min pulled her slender right hand and pressed her fingertips on his black coat.

"Don't be anxious. Feel my clothes and see if there's anything different."

".The fabric seems OK."

Du Jianuo rubbed his eyes and touched it a few times. He was so curious that he just moved closer.

Lifting up the collar, the label comes into view.

"Gucci! What's going on? Sister Min, are you rich?"

The girl looked surprised and subconsciously raised her voice.

"You see, sometimes even you can't tell whether a piece of clothing is luxury goods or not. You have to look at the logo to be sure, right?"

He Min turned his collar back, poured a small cup of warm water, and spoke patiently.

"It's the same as judging people. Age and status are not that important."

“The key is problem-solving skills.”

"I'm just asking you, did he pay you the exorbitant penalty?"

"Um"

Du Jianuo bit his lip and nodded.

"Did he find those connections and relationships?"

"Ask yourself again, are the things he talks about more professional than Ke Kairui's?"

Du Jianuo nodded again.

"Besides not being the social elite you imagined, what else did he lie to you about?"

"He said he would make me an internet celebrity within three months."

Du Jianuo hummed softly.

"So you don't believe it?"

He Min stretched out his hand, placed it on the girl's shoulder, and raised his eyebrows.

"I believed it before, but now I have doubts."

"what."

He Min laughed: "Nono, look at me."

She pointed to her brand new outfit from head to toe, and opened the shoulder bag that was placed aside.

It was bulging with several stacks of bright red hundred-dollar bills.

"Today was my first day at work, and he said that my dress, which cost several hundred yuan, was affecting the company's image. He told me to buy some decent clothes, and the company would reimburse me."

"No normal person would buy that, right? Because it sounds like a joke."

"But he's serious."

"Even if he's not a lawyer, do you know how much money his firm makes and how much he pays me?"

"Not counting the base salary, the commission alone is five figures every month!"

"So you say."

He Min's gaze drifted out the window, where the evening stars twinkled and tall buildings stood in rows.

"With such power, why would he need to lie to you?"

"Or, they set up a company specifically to defraud you."

"Are you worthy?"
