Chapter 537 Is this considered a date?
September 9, Saturday evening.

Because the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School will start school tomorrow, Zhao Rongjun and the other three did not come to join the study group today and had a final day of rest.

After dinner at Bi Hai Lan Ting, it was Ying Chanxi's turn to wash the dishes today, so she got up, cleared the table, and went into the kitchen obediently.

Yan Zhusheng went into the piano room as usual and continued to practice piano, making full preparations for the provincial unified examination at the end of the year.

Li Luo was doing nothing when he received a message from Xu Youyu, asking him to go to Lin Xiufeng's milk tea shop.

So Li Luo followed Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling downstairs, got into Xu Youyu's BMW X3, and was dropped off by Lin Xiuhong at the street side of the milk tea shop.

"Youyu and the others still have one week of military training, right?" Cui Suling saw Li Luo preparing to get off the car and urged, "Let her train well and take this opportunity to at least exercise her body."

"Yes, I know." Li Luo nodded with a smile, "But it seems that their department in the college is recruiting new members tonight, and Sister Youyu is probably going to sign up for the interview."

"That's great. Let her participate more." Cui Suling nodded in agreement. "Then you go. Your mother and I will leave first."

Li Luo said goodbye politely, got out of the car, watched his mother drive away, then turned and walked towards the milk tea shop.

When approaching the store entrance, Li Luo was surprised to find that the milk tea shop seemed to be doing good business today. There were at least a dozen people waiting for milk tea here.

Moreover, Li Luo discovered that everyone who left the milk tea shop either carried a large bag of eight or nine cups of milk tea, or simply carried a foam box.

Almost all of them are group buying customers.

This surprised Li Luo a little.

When he walked into the store, he found that in addition to Lin Xiufeng and Jian Chun, even Xu Youyu was helping to make milk tea.

Cup after cup of milk tea is made, packaged and bagged. After eight or nine cups or even more than ten cups are made, they will be handed all at once to a student present.

Is this business too good?

Li Luo was shocked when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Xu Youyu saw Li Luo coming in from the doorway, and immediately waved at him: "Come here quickly! Help! There are many people waiting!"

Li Luo curled his lips, but still walked straight to the space inside the counter. With the help of Xu Youyu, he put on the apron and gloves exclusive to the store employees.

With his memory palace ability, he can get started immediately after taking a quick glance at the production process without any unfamiliarity.

But after joining, Li Luo couldn't help complaining in his heart, thinking that it was a bit outrageous that he, a wealthy man with an annual income of tens of millions, had to come to the milk tea shop to help out.

Fortunately, with enough manpower, the production process was much faster. After more than half an hour of hard work, the four people finally finished all the orders and could take a break for a while.

So Li Luo couldn't help but ask, "Is my suggestion so effective? Why is the business so popular all of a sudden?"

"It was actually okay in the first two days." Jian Chun was also a little helpless. He explained while swinging his arms to relieve the soreness. "After handing out the flyers, there were probably one or two group purchase orders every day. It wasn't a lot, but it was very stable. Basically, they were placed by some classes."

"But today is different." Xu Youyu added, "Tonight is the night when the student unions of all colleges in the school are recruiting new members. Many departments will buy milk tea for their members."

"Because we are the only place that offers group-buying milk tea discounts, many departments come here to order milk tea."

"Just this evening, we received more than ten group purchase orders."

Lin Xiufeng was counting the money at this time, with a tired look of joy on his face: "Although the discount is very large, the profit margin of milk tea is high. I have made at least a few thousand tonight."

Normally, his milk tea shop can make a profit of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month during non-holiday periods.

As a result, thanks to Li Luo's group buying preferential policy, he earned one-third of a month's income in just one night.

Even though it's only temporary, it's great.

"So why are you here?" Li Luo didn't care much about the business of the milk tea shop. He turned to look at Xu Youyu and asked with a puzzled look, "Aren't you going to participate in the department's recruitment?"

"I've been chosen." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "Didn't I join the political work group during military training? The assistant in our class is the deputy director of the External Relations Department."

"I got along well with her. She heard that I used to be the president of the Student Union of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, so she invited me to join the club."

"Just now I was accompanying my senior sister to pick up the milk tea ordered by the External Relations Department. I saw that my uncle was so busy, so I just stayed to help."

"I see." Li Luo nodded in understanding, looked Xu Youyu up and down, and then smiled, "But I guess the senior sister didn't invite you because of the student union president."

"Then what else could it be?" Xu Youyu snorted, crossed his arms and said, "It's because I have outstanding abilities!"

"He is indeed very capable." Li Luo nodded, his eyes falling on Xu Youyu's face and chest, with certainty.

The biggest task of the External Relations Department is to solicit sponsorship for the Student Union and provide funds and other materials.

Generally speaking, they will take action against surrounding businesses and obtain cash or material support from these businesses by helping them to list their names and promote themselves in college activities.

As a college student, how good can your negotiation skills be?

Sometimes it is far better to let a beautiful girl like Xu Youyu to negotiate.

If you meet some shop owners who are easy to please, a young girl like Xu Youyu might agree to sponsor you if she asks them a few words.

But if you go there with a big, strong, black guy, people may not even pay attention to you.

Xu Youyu was certainly not a fool on this point. He knew what Li Luo meant by looking at his gaze and couldn't help but give him a blank look.

Xu Youyu didn't care about these things. A girl's appearance is innate. Even if she doesn't deliberately use it, she will still gain the benefits of her appearance.

In this regard, Xu Youyu is very open-minded and accepts these advantages frankly, but he does not take these benefits for granted.

And they are more willing to use their own abilities to get what they want.

For example, writing online articles.

"Uncle, let's go first. I have to go to the teaching building to see my seniors." Xu Youyu took off his apron and gloves, then came to Li Luo and helped him take them off.

"Oh, take these cups of milk tea." Lin Xiufeng pointed to the extra cups of milk tea next to him, "Send some to your roommate as well."

"Okay, thank you uncle." Xu Youyu filled the bag with milk tea and waved to Li Luo, motioning him to follow.

Li Luo looked at his uncle, waved to him, and followed Xu Youyu.

Walking into the campus of Qianjiang University from the west gate, the two people walked towards the teaching building of the School of Arts where recruitment was in progress.

On the way, Li Luo occasionally took a sip of Xu Youyu's milk tea and asked, "Why did you think of joining the External Relations Department? Don't you usually have to write online articles?"

"Writing does not conflict with college life." Xu Youyu put his hand into Li Luo's palm, enjoying the evening breeze on the campus path. "Now that I'm in college, I have to get into a department to experience it." "I was thinking that if I write novels, I'm bound to write about all kinds of characters, so it's always good to get in touch with people with different personalities and backgrounds."

"I discovered this problem when I was writing my last book. In the middle and late stages of the book, there seemed to be a lot of characters, but in fact, only a few of them were really established."

"Of course, many online novels have this problem, but I want to try a little harder and hope that the next book will make readers remember a few more vivid characters."

In this regard, Li Luo still supports Xu Youyu.

Compared with Xu Youyu, Li Luo's ability in this area is slightly weaker.

However, after his rebirth, with the help of the memory palace and the training of the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", Li Luo's current level is actually not bad.

In particular, he wrote another book called "Little Joy". Although it was written based on the plot of a TV series in his mind, the text content was all figured out by himself, which was actually a kind of exercise.

If Li Luo is willing now and really studies hard, his level will not be too bad.

"Come to think of it." After Xu Youyu finished talking about his plan, he turned to look at Li Luo and asked curiously, "Do you really plan to write this book until the end of time? Don't you have any ideas for a new book?"

"As for ideas... there are quite a lot of them." Li Luo thought about it, and many golden ideas that have been tested by the market in later generations emerged in his mind.

If he were asked to write it, it would be impossible for him to replicate it 100% because he has not read some of the books, or he has only read the first few dozen chapters when scanning the list.

But there is actually nothing wrong with just borrowing some ideas and thoughts.

"What idea?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

When Li Luo heard her say that she wanted to try a theme like the end of the world, he recommended the alternative idea of ​​spiritual revival to her.

As a result, Li Luo now said that there were many other ideas, which immediately whetted Xu Youyu's appetite.

"They are some interesting cheat codes." Li Luo smiled, "For example, collecting negative emotions. If you make others have negative emotions, you can get benefits."

"There is also a chat group mode that someone is writing now, but you can try to transform it into a fantasy or otherworldly theme."

"Or maybe the urban type of money-losing anti-routine system, the more money you lose, the more you earn."

"For example, we can start with the character setting of the protagonist, designing a protagonist who is different from the regular protagonists of online novels, with a steady personality, who can retreat when faced with difficulties, and who can hide when faced with danger."

The more Xu Youyu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and his heart began to itch. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Then why don't you write it?"

"Ideas are just ideas." Li Luo spread his hands and smiled, "I may not be able to make good use of them."

Seeing him like this, Xu Youyu immediately sighed: "Be more confident in yourself, okay? Anyway, I'm almost tired of reading your book now."

"After all, it's already five million words." Li Luo laughed, then he thought of something, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to write a new book."

"Really?" Xu Youyu showed an expectant expression, "You said so!"

"Well...but let's take it slow." Li Luo also had a sudden idea.

The main reason is that after entering the third year of high school, he became different from other third-year high school students.

First, his target university is not Peking University or Tsinghua University, but Qianjiang University. With his current level, he will definitely be admitted even if he does not study for a year.

The second reason is that he has a memory palace. He has almost planned the subsequent plot of the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity". If he writes step by step every day and only updates 4,000 words a day, it may only take him an hour to finish it.

This resulted in Li Luo being very idle even though he was about to enter his senior year of high school.

As for the third point, Li Luo actually thought of his current income and savings. For him who does not have much expenses, he probably will not have to worry about food and drink in this life.

In this case, it’s not a bad idea to do something that interests you and is a little challenging.

In his previous life, he wrote online articles and made short plays because he quite liked the business of writing stories.

In that case, why not give it a try.

Just write it for fun.

"Let's talk about it after we sign the platinum contract at the end of the year." Li Luo thought for a moment and said, "The exclusive contract I signed with Wenyue took back part of my film and television copyrights, and we will jointly develop them in the future."

"Also, if there are any more short stories like "Little Joy" in the future, as long as Uncle Ying can take them over directly, I won't have to go through the Qidian platform."

"But there are some requirements there, such as continuing to write new books during the contract period."

"The contract is for five years, so I didn't think there was any rush. But if you want to read it, it's not impossible to write a new book sooner."

After listening to what Li Luo said, Xu Youyu nodded vigorously and laughed: "Then I will look forward to it~"

The two chatted all the way and finally arrived at the teaching building where the department was recruiting new members.

The first and second floors of the building were filled with freshmen wearing military training uniforms, while the classrooms were filled with sophomores and juniors wearing casual clothes.

Xu Youyu sent a message to his roommates, waited for them at the door, and then gave out the milk tea he had brought.

Song Yu, who had been following Jiang Feiya, greeted Li Luo happily after seeing him: "Senior Li Luo!"

Judging from Song Yu's expression, it seems that sending milk tea to the whole class a few days ago did have some effect.

I just don’t know what benefits I got from Jiang Feiya.

Thinking of this, Li Luo's gaze fell on Xu Youyu's roommates again, and he nodded and greeted them one by one.

Zhao Letian and the others were still waiting for the department interview, and they left again after a while.

Xu Youyu was just about to go to the External Relations Department to look for a senior student. Jiang Feiya was also called by a senior student from the External Relations Department for an interview. So only Li Luo and Song Yu were left in the corridor.

"I also have to thank you for the milk tea strategy." Song Yu looked happy, laughed and thanked Li Luo.

"Is it very useful?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Of course it worked!" Song Yu couldn't help but raise his chin to show off, "Xiao Ya promised me that she could go on a date with me on the first weekend after military training!"

"Are you two alone?"

"Of course not." Song Yu shook her head and said seriously, "There is also one of her high school best friends, but this is already a big improvement!"

Li Luo: “…”

Is this considered a date?
So what is it called when he usually takes three girls out shopping?
