The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Chapter 92 School Beauty: What do you want me to wear?

Inside the bakery, Lin Ran was clearly engrossed in his conversation.

As he walked past the display shelves, he continued to talk incessantly:

"It would be best to hold some small tasting events at the store entrance then."

"Free samples."

"Put out the best-looking and freshest items; they'll easily catch people's eye."

"Add some of the most fragrant stuff so that students and adults passing by can smell it from two streets away."

Even the best wine needs advertising; you have to use every means to attract people, and let them have a free first taste—

"If you're interested, you'll naturally go into the store, browse around, and start making a purchase."

"It's much more attractive than just hanging a sign out all alone."

Lin Ran spoke with great enthusiasm and animated expression.

Lin's mother, Zhao Shuqin, was a little confused.

However, Su Qingyan, who was the female president of a listed group in her previous life, was able to grasp the essence and subtlety of someone's words.

Many ideas will not be considered new even a decade or two later, or even just a few years later.

But if we put it in 07, in the small county town of Yunan.

Such a systematic and mature marketing and promotion plan can be described as forward-thinking and truly amazing.

Especially some of the fresh ideas mentioned in someone's words...

In Su Qingyan's mind, this was an idea that wouldn't come out for at least several years.

This made her feel confused and surprised.

Her gaze fell on Lin Ran, and she couldn't help but speak:

"How...did you come up with these ideas?"

Lin Ran's eyes remained unblinking, his face neither flushed nor his heart skipped a beat:

"I dreamed about it."

Su Qingyan: "?"

A big question mark appeared above the girl's head.

That doesn't sound plausible at all.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that it can only be attributed to someone's sudden inspiration and ingenious stroke of genius.

Otherwise, what other explanation could there be?

Unless Xiao Linran is also reborn.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Su Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

But reality is not a novel.

How can someone be reborn and still end up as a couple?

……

However, seeing someone so full of vigor and pointing out the flaws in the world...

The girl's competitive spirit also kicked in.

She had come to the bakery today full of ambition, planning to show off her skills in front of Lin's mother.

As a result, he didn't even have a chance to perform.

Lin Ran stole the spotlight from them.

This feeling...

It inexplicably makes people so angry they feel like their teeth are itching.

Su Qingyan looked at Lin Ran and raised her eyebrows slightly:

"You understand all of this."

"You can make bread too?"

Lin Ran perked up at the question. Wow, people actually cooperated with his act of showing off?

"Of course!"

……

After a while.

Inside the kitchen of a bakery.

Watching someone skillfully perform a series of steps, from preparing ingredients to proofing, resting, and kneading the dough, as if by a master pastry chef, was a truly remarkable sight.

The girl standing to the side was stunned again.

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, feeling both amazed and incredulous.

Xiao Linran is really good at this!?

She hadn't written these things in her diaries from her past life.

But as she watched, Su Qingyan herself became a little itchy and eager to try it out:

"Let me try."

The school beauty's deskmate actually volunteered.

Lin Ran glanced at Su Qingyan with surprise, then happily handed her several kneaded and proofed dough balls.

"Then could you cut these into small pieces for me?"

He then buried himself in his work, continuing to work on the other steps.

Su Qingyan took a few dough balls, looked at the sample that Lin Ran had just cut, and picked up a small knife to imitate him.

In her previous life, she was the female CEO of a listed company.

He is proficient in everything in the business world.

The only area I lack is cooking skills.

It was almost my first time properly handling a knife, and my knife skills seemed a bit clumsy.

While cutting the dough into pieces, the girl couldn't help but secretly glance at her classmate sitting next to her.

Watching the other person handle the pile of baking tools and dough with ease and composure.

The boy's profile was delicate and handsome, and his methodical busyness exuded a strangely reassuring aura.

Su Qingyan was slightly lost in thought as she watched.

Without realizing it, he overlooked the sharp blade under his hand.

……

A soft cry of pain was heard from the girl.

Lin Ran immediately turned around and saw that his classmate, the school beauty, was frowning with pain, and there was a bloodstain on her fingers.

"Did you cut your hand? Let me see—"

Lin Ran quickly walked over, grabbed the hand of the school beauty's deskmate, glanced at it, and couldn't help but frown.

The wound wasn't deep.

But it was torn with a cut that was nearly two centimeters long.

"and many more."

After saying that, Lin Ran quickly turned around and rummaged through the toolbox to find disinfectant alcohol and bandages.

When I got back, I carefully disinfected my classmate's injured finger, wiped it with a tissue, and then carefully applied a band-aid.

Having completed all this, Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the furrowed brows relaxed.

"Okay."

Be careful not to get it wet lately.

"It should be fine in a few days."

As Lin Ran was giving instructions, he suddenly noticed that his classmate, the school beauty, seemed to have been silent for a long time.

He looked up in confusion, only to find the other person staring at him blankly.

Lin Ran suddenly realized the truth.

He realized that he was now sitting right next to the school beauty, their deskmate, and he was holding her hand tightly.

To an outsider, the atmosphere between the two at that moment would appear incredibly intimate and ambiguous.

Lin Ran quickly let go of her classmate's hand, trying to remain calm and pretend nothing was wrong:

"Then what-"

"It's reasonable for your deskmate to show concern, right?"

Su Qingyan also couldn't help but blush, and tried her best to hide it, pretending to be calm and composed:

"Ah."

"Reasonable."

The air suddenly became quiet.

An enchanting atmosphere permeated the air silently.

Both of them were clearly feeling guilty.

They awkwardly turned their heads away, yet couldn't help but steal a glance at each other.

The moment their eyes met, they both panicked and quickly turned their heads away again.

To break the awkward atmosphere, Lin Ran quickly turned back to continue kneading the dough:

"Don't move."

"Watch me do it."

Su Qingyan gave a soft "hmm".

So, someone returned to the pastry counter and tried to keep busy, appearing completely focused.

The girl sat quietly on the high stool next to her, watching obediently.

……

As the colorful doughs were kneaded and arranged by Lin Ran, they were brought together.

At last.

An unbaked, colored cookie dough was made.

Su Qingyan curiously leaned closer to take a look, and immediately recognized the shape of the cookie dough, revealing a look of surprise:

"This is……"

"SpongeBob cookies?"

Lin Ran laughed: "You figured it out?"

He used a pastry knife to cut a thin slice of the cookie dough, and instantly the SpongeBob SquarePants image came to life even more vividly before our eyes:

"To be precise, they are cartoon cookies."

"When a new bakery opens, relying solely on its decoration and layout will only attract a segment of people who are simply curious about it."

"To attract enough customers and even build a loyal customer base—"

"It also needs to have enough gimmicks and selling points."

Not just SpongeBob.

For various cartoon and animation characters, well-known ones are sourced from older foreign animations to avoid copyright issues.

I will create some new cute cartoon designs later.

These cartoon-themed cookies are loved by children and their parents have the purchasing power; girls love them and they or their boyfriends also have the purchasing power.

This immediately attracted the most affluent consumer groups into the store.

Once customers enter the store, they won't just buy cookies, which will naturally boost sales of other baked goods.

Su Qingyan looked at the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon cookie and was slightly moved:

"That... will work."

Lin Ran laughed:

"Hmm, it should work."

"My plan is to have the newly hired pastry chefs make a large quantity of these cartoon cookies two days before the opening, and then put them all on the Good Come Bakery label."

"Then, we should try to expand our reach and promote our products in small shops, convenience stores, and large supermarkets in Yunan."

"When the store opens, we'll make it a huge success."

Drive traffic through advertising in convenience stores and supermarkets.

That makes sense.

But there is a problem -

Su Qingyan looked at Lin Ran: "Do you have a way to get small convenience stores and large supermarkets to accept your cartoon cookies?"

Lin Ran laughed: "Actually, it's simple, it's nothing more than... taking advantage of both sides."

Leveraging the strengths of both sides.

To outsiders, it sounded a bit confusing.

But Su Qingyan, a business genius in her past life, instantly understood, glanced at Lin Ran with surprise and admiration, and nodded:

"feasible."

She never expected that her deskmate would have such a clever and daring idea.
