Chapter 1329: Bro, Go for It (2)

Xiao Rou lowered her head and took a sip of juice, saying, "He came to me that day, and we had a fight. He thinks that I’m breaking up with him because of you, that you told me he was wrong, so I just listened to you."

"I..."

Zhou Chengchen’s eyes widened. Is she really getting blamed for this?

"It was after that fight that I realized how indecisive he thinks I am. Later, I thought a lot about it, and realized that from childhood to now, I haven’t really made any decisions on my own."

Zhou Chengchen listened, blinked but stayed silent, continuing to listen to Xiao Rou.

"Which school to attend was decided by my parents, and later whether to study science or arts in high school was determined by my grades. When it came to university, my parents chose the school, and my major was assigned. After graduation, I just randomly sent out resumes and went wherever I got hired, but honestly, I don’t like it at all."

"Are you unhappy at the Zhou Family?"

Zhou Chengchen frowned, and Xiao Rou quickly shook her head: "No, no, the company is fine, but you know how it is in the corporate world, conflicts are unavoidable. Many people are two-faced, and sometimes it feels quite draining. I’m not interested in data reports and I have no grand ambition to climb the corporate ladder, which is why I want to open a shop."

"But opening a shop isn’t easy, is it?"

"But at least it’s for myself, and actually, I had thought about this before."

"Thought about it?"

Zhou Chengchen was a bit surprised and then asked, "What kind of shop do you want to open?"

"A milk tea shop."

"Why?"

"Because then I’d have an endless supply of milk tea."

Zhou Chengchen almost spat out her juice. That reason...

Then she saw Xiao Rou looking at her with a playful gleam in her eyes: "Just kidding, but I did seriously consider it."

Xiao Rou rarely joked around, and now this playful smile added a spark to her gentle face, making her look incredibly lively.

In all the time she’d known Xiao Rou, this side of her was something Zhou Chengchen was seeing for the first time.

Zhou Chengchen thought it was great and slammed the table, "Alright, I’ll support you fully. If you need anything just let me know. How about this, I provide the money, you provide the effort, and we split the profit?"

Xiao Rou obviously didn’t expect Zhou Chengchen to say that and was about to refuse. She truly hadn’t considered this angle; she just wanted to share with her best friend, not gain anything from Zhou Chengchen.

But Zhou Chengchen had already made a sweeping gesture, deciding it happily.

Xiao Rou, in the end, was still soft-hearted. Considering this matter further, realizing her own parents might not support it, having a "big debt" like Zhou Chengchen might give her more motivation.

After all, even though they’re friends, and knowing Zhou Chengchen doesn’t care about the money, you can’t keep owing someone.

After discussing this, the two girls jumped into the kind of fantasy girls are good at, one moment planning how to open the shop, and the next dreaming of a national chain, with titles like the "Milk Tea Fairy," and other such nonsense.

After dining and chatting with Xiao Rou, and walking around a bit more, the sky was completely dark when they parted ways. Zhou Chengchen called Xi Siyan, found out he was still busy at the office, and instead of heading back to the apartment, went to Cheng Yi’s.

On the way, Zhou Chengchen’s eyes turned slightly, as if thinking of something, and she sent Zhou Qi a message: [Hey brother, I’m coming to your shoot tomorrow, prepare to welcome me.]
