When the shop assistants in the shopping street learned that the holographic projection room of the cinema was launched, they couldn't wait to find the shop owner in the group to act cute.
Zhou Su: [Yaoyao, I also want to watch a holographic movie. ]
Zhou Su: [Looking pitifully at the finger.jpg]
Ji Zhixin: [I heard from Fu Chi that the holographic projection room in the cinema is more advanced than the holographic technology currently predicted by experts. I haven't watched a movie for a long time. ]
The post-production team usually stays in the office, and so far only knows that a few stores in the shopping street are great. Except for the nail salon on the day of signing the contract, I have not been to other stores.
The owner had previously told them to visit each store, but he has been very busy in the past month and has not had a suitable opportunity to visit.
Gao Meng: [Holographic movie? Where?]
Zhou Su: [No way, no way, you guys in the post-production group don’t know anything? ]
Liu Tang: [Concentrating on editing…]
Gauss: [Is there really a holographic projection room? ]
Zhou Su: [The little rabbit shakes its finger, tsk tsk tsk ~.jpg]
Zhou Su: [It's been so long, and you still don't know anything about the owner. Why don't you come to Maorongrong's shop for lunch today? A seafood feast! ]
Fu Chi: [Just came out of the holographic projection room. To be honest, I am a little jealous. ]
Ji Feiming stared at the screen for a while, but couldn't find a chance to speak. He quickly sent a picture: [small question mark.jpg]
Fu Chi: [I don’t know that the ancients thousands of years ago could watch holographic movies, and we are still stuck in the 4D era where seats are beaten. Most of the guests here still can’t understand the power of holographic technology and just complain about the high ticket prices. ]
Zhou Su: [How much is the ticket price? ]
Fu Chi: [Five hundred wen, converted to RMB, is about five hundred yuan.]
Zhou Su: [The price is indeed not cheap, but it is a holographic movie, I can afford it! ]
Gao Meng: [Five hundred wen? What currency unit is this? Where are the guests of the cinema? ]
Ji Zhixin: [The shop owner is out again? ]
Lu Yao: [I'm here. Since you're curious, why don't you come over during your lunch break to experience it? The cinema will be closed by then, so there won't be any other customers.]
Zhou Su: [Yaoyao, I love you the most! ]
Gao Meng: [The little rabbit weakly raises his hand.jpg]
Gao Meng: [Will you still eat the seafood dinner? ]
Lu Yao: [Eat if you want to, let Susu cook for you. I won’t come over at noon, I need to consider the location and business direction of the next store.]
Fu Chi sat in the lounge area of the lobby and looked up at Lu Yao, a little surprised: "Opening a new store again?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Well, the operation of the cinema is on the right track. If we continue with this model, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Fu Chi hesitated.
Lu Yao added: "Your contract has only a few months left. Please work harder before you leave. Select two employees from the current staff of the cinema and focus on training them."
Fu Chi almost forgot about it. There were only a few months left on the contract. He was conflicted, but finally nodded, "Okay."
About half a month ago, Fu Chi met Qi Chen at the door of the snack bar.
As the deputy manager of the snack bar, Qi Chen received the ingredients and chatted with him for a while.
Fu Chi once again clearly felt that the shop owner was omnipotent, but his only interest was in running the shop.
To this day, no one knows why Lu Yao ran so many shops on such a desolate street.
It’s not that Fu Chi isn’t curious, nor does he want to cut off this strange connection easily, but he can’t work in the cinema forever.
-
During lunch break, the post-production trio and other shop assistants on the shopping street went to the furry shop to have lunch.
Gao Si, Gao Meng and Liu Tang came to the furry shop under the sea for the first time. They were so scared that they collapsed to the ground as soon as they entered the door.
Gao Meng sat slumped on the beach: "This... turns out this isn't a pet store."
Gao Si's reaction was similar to Gao Meng's. Liu Tang was calmer on the contrary. After all, he had experience as a theme park player and had made sufficient mental preparations before coming.
Gauss and the other two were terrified at first, but when Zhou Su brought out several large plates of seafood sashimi and a plump, furry seal turned over its belly to be rubbed, they gradually let go.
The seafood was delicious, the furry creatures were so cute, and the people around them all looked accustomed to it. Gradually, they felt that what they saw and heard was not so strange.
After lunch, everyone went to the cinema together.
The cinema has closed and there are still a few passers-by on the street.
Later, the trio leaned on the glass and looked out, "This, this, this is ancient times?"
Gao Meng: "Seriously, who is our boss?"
Gao Si: "I'm almost numb too. When Sister Chen introduced me to you, she didn't say anything."
Liu Tang: "I guess Sister Chen doesn't know either."
Zhou Su: "I was just like you guys at first. I applied for the job without knowing anything. But after I started working, the salary was right. The working hours were a bit tiring, but I basically got off work on time every day, and there were special benefits from time to time. I think it's more interesting than being an ordinary worker."
The three of them thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.
The working environment and treatment in the shopping street are actually not much different from those of senior white-collar workers in the city.
Just take the seafood dinner at noon and the holographic movie I’m going to watch later as entertainment during my weekday lunch break. I never dared to think of that before.
Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin stood at the entrance of the cinema, secretly observing the world.
Uncle Ming and Zhou Su have both been to the cinema, but no matter how many times they come to such a place, they still find it strange.
Just like how the people of the Dawu Dynasty felt about movie theaters, every time there was a new experience.
Fu Chi led the way and led everyone upstairs.
Seeing the claw machines and vending machines upstairs, the post-production team, who had never seen the world, was surprised again. They imagined how the ancients must have operated these machines. It felt very awkward, but also very interesting. They couldn't stop imagining it.
Once you actually enter the holographic projection room, put on the special glasses, and start watching the movie, the clerk's reaction is even more exaggerated than that of the people of the Dawu Dynasty.
Gauss: "Oh my god, the smell of blood is too strong."
Gao Meng: "It really hurts when the wind blows on my face, and it stinks!"
Liu Tang: "It turned out to be this film. When I was editing it, I felt that the subject matter was very old. It turned out that it was for ancient people to watch."
Zhou Su: "This mountain of corpses and sea of blood is too realistic, and there's even a smell. Ugh."
Gauss: "It's no exaggeration to say that I'm personally there. I can now understand what Mr. Fu means by 'jealousy'."
Fu Chi: "I have watched it once. Not only the various smells in the environment, but also the food the characters tasted, the scenery they saw, and the feelings in their hearts, the audience can empathize with them. Not to mention in ancient times, even in our time, this technology can occupy a large blank market in one fell swoop."
Ji Zhixin: "Only the shop owner can do this."
Ji Feiming: "It's a pity that the shop owner's business is limited to the other world."
…
While the clerk was experiencing the holographic movie, Lu Yao stood in the middle of the small road in the shopping street, looking at the storefronts on both sides, wondering about the location of the new store.
Nowadays, there are snack bars, nail salons and blind box stores on the river side of the shopping street, and a furry shop, a cinema and an office on the mountain side. The cinema is a merger of five shops, and its facade is quite impressive.
Lu Yao turned around, looked at the blind box store next door, raised his hand and gestured: "Why not open it here, so that it looks more balanced from left to right."
However, the shop next to the blind box shop is a small storefront, only about 10 square meters. The storefront next to it is slightly larger, and the two together are estimated to be 30 square meters.
Lu Yao typed into the system: "Just these two, merge and upgrade to a different space, the store name will be 'Lu Yao's Childhood Tuition Center'."
System: "Tutoring? Are we going to open a tutoring class?"
Lu Yao: "First, upgrade according to the blueprint, and we'll take care of the rest later."
System: "The main business category must be decided in advance and cannot be ambiguous."
Lu Yao: "Don't worry, I have made up my mind."
The clue information this time is very simple and straightforward, but the scope of "childhood" is actually very broad, and you may take a detour if you are not careful.
Lu Yao was also concerned about the light-colored skull shadow on the note. She took all past situations into consideration before deciding to open a tutorial center.
The system sensed the shop owner's alertness, but received no warning of any violation, indicating that the shop owner had indeed chosen the business owner category, and had no choice but to open the star gate and upgrade as instructed.
The maintenance time is still twelve hours. Lu Yao went to the store owner's location after a long absence to check the status.
Owner: Lu Yao
Age:22
Shop:5
Clerk:196
Popularity:41212500
Assets: 647w
Wish progress: 27%
Warehouse grid: 45
(Shopping Street Map)
Once the maintenance of the "Childhood Tutorial Center" is completed, the number of stores will increase to six; there will be more than 20 new employees, and by the New Year, the number of employees will probably exceed 200.
With the existence of the Sea of Eden, the popularity value has increased by several million points compared to the end of the Furry Shop mission.
In contrast, assets have shrunk significantly.
Lu Yao sighed, saying that opening a cinema was too expensive.
However, the three bones were recovered from the Dawu Dynasty, which completed a large part of the mission and the money was not wasted.
The warehouse grid has been increased by five units, which is better than nothing.
The funds for the next store are tight, so I can’t spend money lavishly.
The next day, maintenance was completed.
When the shop assistants came to work in the morning, they saw that a new storefront next to the blind box shop had already had a sign hung up, and they all stopped to watch the fun.
Gao Meng looked up and asked, "Childhood Tuition Center, are they planning to run a tutoring class?"
Zhou Su crossed her arms and fell into deep thought, "It's definitely not the tutoring class we have here."
Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin also came over and looked at the sign.
Lu Yao came out of the cinema and saw people gathered in front of the Childhood Tuition Center. He walked over slowly and said, "Good morning."
The shop assistants greeted the owner one after another, then left, looking back every few steps.
Lu Yao did not explain.
She was also about to go over to check out the new store.
Pushing open the door of the Childhood Tutorial Center, we found that the interior had been decorated according to Lu Yao's requirements.
The space of 30 square meters is not too big, but not too small either.
Opposite the store door, there are two four-layer high shelves. Behind the shelves, there is a small space of about ten square meters, with two sets of tables and chairs placed in it. The tables and chairs are separated by soundproof glass.
On the other side of the glass space is the restroom.
Then there is still more than ten square meters of secret space that is not open to the public.
The entire shop has only been divided into spaces for the time being. The shelves, tables and chairs are still in an empty or furnished state. No goods have been purchased yet, and no fine decoration has been carried out.
Lu Yao took a quick look around the store, walked to the door, and pushed the door open on an impulse.
The scenery outside the door changed.
Lu Yao stood at the door and looked up.
The sky is high and the air is fresh, tall buildings stand tall, and there is a constant stream of traffic in front of the shops.
This time the store seems to be located in an extremely prosperous area, like the commercial center of a modern city.
Lu Yao stepped out of the store and took a few steps. He saw a road sign erected at the intersection. On the caramel-colored sign was written "No. 66 Sanhua Road" in characters from another world.
This is the address of the new store in this world.
The Childhood Tutorial Center is located right at the intersection of Sanhua Road, with a street running through it on both sides and a busy long street opposite.
Lu Yao felt a little strange because the shops on both sides of the Childhood Tutorial Center had signs saying they were for sale.
In her opinion, the geographical locations of the shops on both sides are pretty good.
Walk five meters straight out of the door and you will see the pedestrian bridge. Lu Yao looked up and couldn't help but be amazed.
This pedestrian bridge spirals up and down like a maze. It looks extremely complicated and you can't see the top.
Lu Yao looked around and chose to go in from the left intersection and take a walk first.
It was rare to find a store in a prosperous area on the shopping street. Along the way, Lu Yao saw many familiar stores but slightly different in details, such as electrical appliance stores, clothing stores, jewelry stores, computer malls, printing shops, banks, hotels... There were also many towering office buildings around, with various business signs hanging on them.
After Lu Yao walked around three streets near Xindian, he had a general understanding of the surrounding environment.
The level of development of this world is probably slightly higher than the world in which the shop owner lives, but how much more advanced it is is currently impossible to estimate.
Lu Yao has no currency in this world, and all his observations are limited to what the eyes can see.
The system popped up: "There is no school nearby."
Not to mention the kindergartens and primary schools that can be associated with childhood, there is not even a middle school or university.
Everywhere you look, there are commercial areas.
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, that's true."
To confirm, Lu Yao asked a few passers-by and learned that there was a Black Cat University in the Black Cat District three blocks away from the Childhood Tutorial Center, and there was also a Black Cat Affiliated Middle School next door.
Besides, there are no formal educational institutions nearby.
The system asked cautiously: "Did you choose the wrong main category for this store?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "No, everything is going as planned."
The system doesn’t believe it: “Don’t force yourself. People always make mistakes.”
Lu Yao kept walking: "Let's go back first. I have already figured out how to decorate the store."
Lu Yao returned to the cram school, quickly drew a new blueprint, and submitted it to the system for secondary maintenance.
The shop owner who left was unaware that after the Childhood Tuition Center temporarily closed, the owners of nearby shops came out and watched carefully.
The owner of the fruit shop: "Someone actually took over this unlucky shop."
Cafe manager: "I came back from delivery and saw that the owner was a young girl. I'm afraid she's from out of town and got ripped off."
Fruit shop owner: "Childhood Tuition Center, which kid dares to come here?"
Beauty store manager: "Just wait and see, we'll have to close in less than a week."
…
Lu Yao first went to the snack bar and discussed with Qi Chen that he wanted some candy, then returned to the nail salon and went straight into the laboratory to start making the first product of the new store.
On the second day, Lu Yao arrived at the Childhood Tutorial Center early and placed the bubble machine he had made with the store clerks last night on the shelf at the door.
These bubble makers come in various shapes, are fancy and exquisite, and some are even filled with candies. They are neatly placed on the shelves, always attracting a second look from passers-by.
After the second maintenance of the store, a bamboo curtain was added to the glass area to block the view, and two pots of plump succulents were added to the table.
The single-sided shelf was upgraded to a double-sided one. The side facing the door was filled with bubble machines, and some comic books were placed on the back. The rest of the space was temporarily left vacant.
Lu Yao also spent his popularity points to ask the system to produce a batch of flyers.
After tidying up the shelves, the owner went out to the street carrying a giant bubble gun and a stack of flyers.
"Hello, do you need tutoring on 'Childhood'?" Lu Yao handed a flyer to a lady walking by on the street.
The lady was slightly stunned and looked down at the flyer handed to her. There was a colorful rainbow drawn on the light yellow paper and a lot of content was written in round fonts, but she had no intention of reading it carefully and hurriedly shook her head to refuse.
This is the twenty-third passerby who rejected Lu Yao.
Since the morning, most of the passers-by the store owner met refused to take the flyers. If someone happened to take one, they would not even look at it carefully, but would just turn around and throw it into the trash can.
System: "Oops, the new store has suffered a Waterloo. Who would believe in the nonsense of tutoring for 'childhood'?"
The system has figured out the new store’s main business category—tutoring for children.
Simply put, anything related to childhood falls under the business category.
The store owner did catch the loophole in the clues and minimized the risk of choosing the wrong type of business owner.
Unfortunately, the difficulty of this world is different from the previous ones. There are no potential customers around the store, and the owner’s cleverness is useless.
I spent the whole morning distributing flyers, but only managed to hand out a few.
Lu Yao did not go out in the afternoon. He was bored guarding the store alone, so he went to the furry shop and picked up Erxin.
In the past few months without the owner watching over, Er Xin has won the love of customers in the furry shop, and the medium-sized gas tank has become a large size.
Lu Yao pulled a wicker chair and sat in front of the shelf to read comics. He was as sleepy as a pile of cat biscuits, lying at the owner's feet to bask in the sun.
Not to mention, passers-by in the afternoon would inadvertently take a second look at the Childhood Tuition Center.
That cat is so fat.
But how come someone took over this store
-
Xiao Ze is a salesperson at a real estate company. His job involves making phone calls and maintaining client relationships day after day, and almost all of his time and energy is spent on clients.
After making phone calls at the company all day, he was called by his boss for a lecture near the end of the day. He hadn't placed an order for a long time.
After being scolded, Xiao Ze didn't dare to leave work and worked overtime until he was the only one left in the office.
When it was completely dark, he got up, packed his things, and slowly walked out of the company with his bag.
Walking on the road where tree shadows and lights intertwined, Xiao Ze's face was expressionless and his heart was confused.
Maybe he was not suitable for sales from the beginning. He has been spinning in circles for so many years.
Xiao Ze stopped and looked up at the sky, which was pitch black.
For a long time, he didn't move.
The cell phone suddenly rang. About half a minute later, Xiao Ze responded and slowly took out his cell phone. It was Xu Xiaoxiao.
He hesitated for a moment and answered the phone. Before he could say anything, the person on the other end asked him, "Why did you answer the phone so late? Did you see the link I sent you at noon? The promotion will end after 12 o'clock tonight. Now is the cheapest time for that dress. Just..."
Xiao Ze threw his phone directly into the trash can on the side of the road and turned to walk towards Sanhua Road.
On the phone, Xu Xiaoxiao was still talking: "Xiao Ze, are you listening?"
Xiao Ze walked to the Sanhua intersection and was a little surprised to see the exaggerated sign of the Childhood Tutorial Center.
This intersection is a famous holy place of death in Sanhua City, and yet someone actually took over this shop.
Xiao Ze smiled self-deprecatingly. After tonight, this shop would probably be closed again.
He turned and walked towards the pedestrian bridge, onto the circular bridge with an elevator in the middle that went straight to the top.
There were no customers all day, so Lu Yao moved the chair back behind the shelf and prepared to close the shop.
When she came out to close the door, she saw someone walking up the pedestrian bridge. She remembered the rumors she had accidentally heard today, opened the door, ran out, and shouted, "Hey, sir."
Xiao Ze ignored him and kept walking.
Lu Yao ran up the pedestrian bridge and grabbed Xiao Ze's handbag. He was stunned for a moment after seeing his appearance. "Sir, you took my flyer this morning. Do you still remember it?"
Xiao Ze was extremely annoyed. He didn't understand why someone would stop him from doing something like this, and turned his head impatiently.
He noticed the girl's earrings first rather than Lu Yao's appearance, and was slightly stunned.
He remembered that when he was walking to the company as usual in the morning, a girl wearing exaggerated earrings stuffed a strange flyer into his hand on the road.
He didn't look at it carefully at the time, but just didn't want to listen to the troublesome sales pitch, so he hurriedly took the flyer and left.
Lu Yao pulled him downstairs, "You want to go up there and get some fresh air, right? There's no point in getting some cold air, so don't go. You were the first person to receive my flyer this morning, so come on, I'll buy you a cup of tea."
