Chapter 201 : All-Night Heart-to-Heart
Meow meow meow~
To many 'two-legged beasts' humans' strange behaviors, in the four-legged pet Xiaobai's view, they were all very odd.
For example, why wasn't there food in its little cat bowl when it was clearly dinnertime every day?
Or why did the two-legged beasts wear strange equipment and stubbornly hang that two-legged beast it really liked from the ceiling?
And why did these two-legged beasts, who clearly didn't have fluffy fur like itself, also need to lick fur... This was really too strange!
Since these human behaviors were quite difficult for a two-year-old cat to understand, touching on its knowledge blind spots, Xiaobai, feeling its little brain wasn't quite sufficient, although it really wanted to join in, but clearly the two-legged beasts didn't plan to let it play. Finally, Xiaobai went to its little cat nest in the living room, and after stretching in a big lazy stretch, meowed~ once, smelling the increasingly rich, refreshing fragrance in the room, and closed its heterochromatic pupils.
After Xiaobai fell asleep, "Holy Knight Mo Mo Chronicles" made qualitative progress in its defeat animation with Lin Muyao's participation.
Just one hour had passed, and the front-and-back goblin chapters were already over, now switching to the second act of being defeated by pig-headed men and becoming a pig-headed man's bride.
Feeling waves of tingling sensations on her body, looking at the holy knight Mo Mo on the laptop displaying her snow-white delicate body trembling lightly, with various lewd patterns drawn by An Xiaoqian appearing on her body, and seeing that already somewhat 'ahegao' cute but inappropriate expression, Su Mo felt incredulous at this moment.
Wuu wuu wuu, so when I'm being bullied, I actually look this lewd!?
Also, don't point the laptop at me, I don't want to look in the mirror!!!
Just as Su Mo covered her face and closed her eyes, continuing to film the defeat scenes for An Xiaoqian's dream game with the two beautiful girls Lin Muyao and An Xiaoqian, as time passed minute by minute, the hour hand pointed to 5 o'clock.
Su Mo's eyes couldn't help but brighten, whimpering: "Small f... wife Muyao, wife Xiaoqian, I still need to tutor Ningning and Chenchen later, can you let me go? Can we continue afterward?"
Hearing Su Mo's words, before Lin Muyao could speak, An Xiaoqian brought the laptop in front of Su Mo.
"Hehe, now you're the small fry wife. Say, small fry wife, are you really planning to go teach the little ones with these marks? That would be really exciting!"
Hearing the scheming loli's tempting words, Su Mo instinctively looked at the laptop showing her lower abdomen covered with colorful marks just now, and those suggestive words below.
Looking at that seductive scene, Su Mo felt like crying without tears.
Wuu wuu wuu, it looks like I'll have to skip work again today!
After all, if the three little ones discovered this during class, it would easily corrupt children.
That wouldn't be good!!!
Just as Su Mo, feeling guilty about skipping work and trembling all over from provoking 'small fry' Lin Muyao, Su Mo didn't expect that someone would substitute for her work today.
...
Today, Yun Xia, with Su Mo's introduction this morning, had scouted many store locations with part-time Brother Wang.
Unlike renting a house, which was just a place to live, opening a store required considering many things: foot traffic, customer flow, surrounding environment, demographic age, and most importantly, rent and renovation costs.
After an afternoon of location scouting in various places, Yun Xia actually found a suitable location.
It was in the somewhat run-down 'Carrefour' commercial plaza, in the opposite direction from Weiyang Apartments to 'Vanke Beautiful Plaza.'
Yun Xia chose to open a store here after comprehensive consideration of many factors.
First was the rent issue.
For popular storefronts with high foot traffic like Vanke Beautiful Plaza, according to Yun Xia and Brother Wang's investigation today, a 190㎡ store had a monthly transfer fee of about 20,000 yuan with a minimum one-year lease, which really exceeded Yun Xia's budget.
In contrast, 'Carrefour' commercial plaza, because online shopping was now prevalent and this was on the border of the university town with somewhat old and run-down environment and sparse foot traffic.
According to Yun Xia's observation, except for the 'Chaoyun' pink brand small store where she had bought small props which was very popular, many stores in Carrefour mall had already closed down, and the remaining stores couldn't get a single customer for long periods.
The entire mall seemed somewhat deserted.
Thanks to this, the rent here was very cheap monthly.
The 150㎡ usable area shop that Yun Xia liked cost only 4,000 yuan in rent.
Some might not understand this point.
Since the environment was so deserted with no foot traffic, why would Yun Xia still choose to open a store here?
This brings up Yun Xia's little calculation.
On one hand, choosing this location was naturally due to cheap rent.
But besides that, there was a more important reason—the characteristics of cosplayers.
As a cosplayer who loved two-dimensional culture, Yun Xia really enjoyed wearing cosplay outfits imitating her favorite characters.
But wearing cosplay outfits on the street in daily life always made people see her as a strange, unconventional existence, which didn't feel good.
But anime conventions were different—everyone could freely play their favorite characters without worrying about others' gazes.
With Carrefour mall having such sparse foot traffic, Yun Xia felt that if she really opened a store here, could she organize some like-minded cosplayers to gather here while selling clothes, holding small anime activities!
Having this idea in mind, since Yun Xia had never opened a store from childhood to adulthood, after parting with part-time Brother Wang, Yun Xia wanted to find her former idol and current rival Chu Tianlan to discuss this.
As for why Yun Xia, as a rival, would choose Chu Tianlan as her discussion target instead of other people she knew, there were actually many reasons. First, Chu Tianlan's family was in business and she was Student Council President, so Yun Xia simply felt discussing issues with Chu Tianlan was reliable.
Besides that, after experiencing the four-person meeting two days ago, because of Chu Tianlan's modest proposals and yesterday's agreement to let Senior Mo Mo take leave, facing these two matters, last night's very satisfied Yun Xia was truly grateful to Chu Tianlan, and her hostility had also diminished considerably.
This visit for discussion was also Yun Xia's way of trying to ease the relationship between them through inquiry.
Just as Yun Xia came to Chu Tianlan's home to discuss store issues and began chatting, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Tick tock~
As the hour hand reached 5 o'clock, seeing Su Mo who still hadn't returned, and looking at the leave request An Xiaoqian had sent on Chu Tianlan's phone today, recalling the reason for Su Mo's absence last night, Yun Xia voluntarily took on the tutoring responsibility.
After 6 o'clock arrived, she brought the three little ones Ningning, Chenchen, and Jiajia into the study and began tutoring them.
As someone who could attend Su University, Chu Tianlan was completely confident in Yun Xia tutoring elementary school coursework.
But being confident in Yun Xia tutoring the three little ones didn't mean Chu Tianlan was confident about the store opening matter they'd just discussed.
Recalling Yun Xia's description of opening a store just now, she hadn't anticipated or planned many things.
From Yun Xia's description, it was clear that Su Mo was even more confused, just providing 500,000 yuan without any clue.
At this, Chu Tianlan's gentle, neighborly big sister-like pretty face slightly furrowed her delicate brows.
She silently made a decision—after tomorrow night's literary performance 'confession meeting' ended, she should have a good chat with Su Mo.
After all, investing in opening a store was a big deal.
How could such an important matter be acted upon so rashly!
Proper planning and potential problems that might be faced must be carefully written out.
After all, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle.
It seemed tomorrow night would require an all-night heart-to-heart with Junior Su Mo.
