Reborn as a girl and school beauty

Time passed day by day. There were still three days before Yang Lingxin returned to China and five days before school started. Although it was said that there was no good news when school started, it had to start.

Chen Lian takes the two kittens out, and has basically brought them to the store like this these days. More and more people come to pet the cats, and many store employees will hold the cats and play with them when they are free.

Chen Lian was tidying up the shelves when she heard a commotion at the door. She hurried over and saw a girl arguing with a clerk.

"I just want to see this cat, it's so cute!" said the girl.

"Sorry, we don't rent cats here," the clerk explained.

Chen Lian looked at the girl, then at the clerk, and immediately understood what was going on. She walked up to the girl with a smile and said, "Miss, if you like cats, you can pet them here or interact with them in the store."

The girl looked disappointed. But she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. But I really like this cat."

Chen Lian saw what the girl was thinking. She thought for a moment, then said to the girl, "If you really like cats so much, you can ask your parents to buy you one."

The girl asked frustratedly, "No, my mom is allergic to cat hair and won't let me keep one. She also won't let me keep a dog."

Chen Lian nodded. "If you really want to pet cats, you can come to our shop. You can come anytime, but please don't hurt them. Although this is not a cat cafe, you can come if you like."

The girl agreed and stayed at home to play with Xiao Luo. Then a clerk came over and said, "Manager, you can actually open a cat cafe. I think there are still a lot of girls who like cats."

Chen Lian shook her head and said, "No, I don't have the energy to manage so many stores. Besides, I'm short of funds right now. I've already spent more than half of my money on this large millet store."

Chen Lian feels happy to see the customers and cats getting along so well in the store. She can't help but think back to when she first opened her shop, when there weren't so many cats and business was slow. But as time went on, more and more people fell in love with these adorable little creatures.

I also adopted a few stray cats in the store and vaccinated them. The store employees would feed them cat food from time to time.

"Maybe opening a cat cafe wouldn't be a bad idea..." Chen Lian thought to herself. Despite her current lack of funds, the idea kept lingering in her mind. Perhaps she could consider finding a partner or applying for a loan to make this plan a reality.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked into the store. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Lian.

"Excuse me, are you the shop owner? I am a representative of an investment company. I am very interested in your shop. Do you have any plans to expand your business?" The man handed over his business card with a smile.

Chen Lian looked at him and hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any store recommendations for expanding our business? Besides, I mostly sell ACG-related stuff here. Compared to those clothing stores, I only have COS costumes."

The man smiled and said, "Of course, our company has many successful cases. For example, we have opened theme restaurants, cafes, or peripheral product stores. Based on your existing customer base, we can further expand our business scope."

After hearing this, Chen Lian had an idea. She thought of her previous idea about cat cafes and asked, "If I want to open a cat cafe, would your company be interested in investing?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he immediately replied, "Cat cafes are a very promising project. If you have a specific plan and business model, we can further explore the possibility of cooperation."

Chen Lian nodded, thinking this was a rare opportunity. "I'm short of money, and it's hard to ask Yang Lingxin for it," she said with a smile. "I'll discuss it with my family. Leave me your phone number. I'll contact you when I have an idea."

After the man left, Chen Lian didn't know what she was thinking. After all, it was tiring enough for her to run this store, and she also adopted so many stray cats. Although the Guzi store was popular for a while, there were few people buying things offline, while people often bought figures and the like in the online store.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it and wait for Yang Lingxin to come back before making plans. After all, there are some things that need to be discussed, and there are still three days before Yang Lingxin comes back.

For the next two days, Chen Lian took care of her store while thinking about her cat cafe plan. She searched online for relevant information and visited several nearby cat cafes to observe and learn from them. She discovered that cat cafes not only attract cat-loving customers but also provide a comfortable and relaxing environment where people can enjoy coffee and food.

However, Chen Lian also realized that opening a cat cafe would require a lot of investment, and she secretly thought about how to raise the money.

Song Wei and the others also agreed to open a cat cafe, but raising the money was a bit troublesome. They were embarrassed to ask for a loan. Although he was the son-in-law of the Yang Group, it was embarrassing to ask for money from his family, but he didn't want to borrow money if he agreed.

After all, Song Wei and Xinyi were also raising money to prepare for their wedding. Chen Lian secretly thought: "Why not give up this idea? After all, the money I earned was spent all at once, and I have put a lot of effort into this millet shop."

"Do you need my help?" Bai Mo asked

"No need. Although you can help me with everything, I can't rely on you for everything, otherwise I will really become a useless person." Chen Lian said

"It depends on you. If you need help, I can help you. Although you can do whatever you like, some things still depend on you. Haven't you noticed that since you adopted Xiao Luo, you like cats very much?" Bai Mo said

"No, but what you said seems to be right. Ever since I found a partner for Xiao Luo, I brought him to the store, and then we attracted a lot of kittens, but most of them were strays. I felt sorry for them, so I adopted them, built a cat bed, and vaccinated them. They also like my appearance and are not afraid of strangers at all." Chen Lian said

"It's up to you. Do whatever you like. If you really don't have money, you can come to me." Bai Mo said

"Ah."

Chen Lian herself didn't know, and then she stopped thinking about it. She decided to put the matter aside for now and deal with it later. Some things were not something she could decide on her own.
