Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 127 - 110: Cheng Zhu’s Fame

Chapter 127: Chapter 110: Cheng Zhu’s Fame

Cheng Zhu thought that upon returning to the dormitory, his three roommates, who had been busy with him all day, would have already lain down to rest.

But to his surprise, they were sitting together, moving chairs around, and furiously scrolling through the university’s online forum.

As soon as Dong Dong saw Cheng Zhu enter the dorm, he immediately said, “Cheng, you’re freaking famous on the forum again!”

Cheng Zhu spoke indifferently, “I already guessed.”

The three roommates: “…”

We knew you’d be all calm about it, but we didn’t expect you to say you’d guessed you’d be famous.

Damn dude, playing the prescient cool guy, huh!?

And sure enough, everything was within Cheng Zhu’s expectations.

After all, if anyone gossiped online, his identity could hardly be hidden.

Not to mention, just his classmates from Computer Science Class 2 knew that he owned the arcade.

Moreover, there were those girls from the fashion design department who subtly stirred things up; it’s likely many people knew who the boss was even before the store opened.

“Cheng, you are really a campus celebrity now,” Dong Dong said with a face full of envy.

—Your life is my dream!

Cheng Zhu pulled over a chair as well, sat down in front of Dong Dong’s laptop, and said coolly, “What do you mean ‘now a campus celebrity’, I’ve always been one, okay?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the computer screen, “See that? When others ask who the owner of the arcade is, how do they reply?”

Dong Dong glanced and said, “Cheng Zhu.”

“Do you see any unnecessary elaboration?” Cheng Zhu raised an eyebrow.

“Damn! You even found an angle to show off!” Dong Dong exclaimed.

But the thing is, Cheng Zhu was making sense.

If the arcade had been opened by Dong Dong, then when others asked who the boss was, the responders would probably use more specific words; otherwise, no one would know who Dong Dong was at all.

But looking around the forum, many people simply replied, “It’s that Cheng Zhu,” and even if there were descriptions, they were sparse.

This indicated that many people subconsciously assumed most of their schoolmates should know this person.

Since the semester started, Cheng Zhu had always been quite famous at the university.

Of course, most of the topics related to him were… amorous ones?

It was either his rumored affair with Shen Qingning, or Lin Lu specifically coming to watch his military training, or his “encounter” at the evening party with Zhang Qiqi…

Of course, there was also the clout built by the girls from Computer Science Class 2 and even the entire Information Science Department!

Many female students thought he was one of the top handsome guys in Information Science Department, a real campus hunk.

Now it got a bit more balanced, from purely amorous topics to personal capabilities and entrepreneurship.

“I’m a damn hexagon warrior!” Cheng Zhu certainly saw himself that way.

At this moment, Dong Dong and the others were browsing the forum on the computer, and the more he saw, the more annoyed he became.

“I’m speechless! We worked in the store all day too, how come nobody says we’re handsome?” he complained without self-awareness.

Looking around, all the discussions were like this.

“The owner of the arcade is that Cheng Zhu.”

“Ah? Isn’t it the handsome guy at the cashier? The roguishly handsome one.”

“Must be.”

“That’s him! He’s the hottest guy in our Computer Science Class 2!”

“My friend is in the same department as him, noticed him during military training, but has always harbored a secret crush.”

Cheng Zhu looked at him, suddenly grinned, and said, “How about… you sit at the cash register tomorrow?”

The business was so good today that the coin dispenser at the cash register seemed to be spitting out Game Coins non-stop, and Cheng Zhu really felt like his ears were about to go bad; he might even dream of this sound in his sleep.

“Hmm? Sure thing! Cheng, you’re my true bro!” Dong Dong’s eyes lit up immediately: “The cashier is definitely the most eye-catching, after all, that’s where transactions happen face to face, right?”

Liu Feng glanced at the room leader of Dorm 309 and really wanted to tell him, “Tomorrow’s post will probably be: The boss is that handsome guy wandering around the store!”

The four residents of Dorm 309 sat together and scrolled through the forum posts again.

Soon, their attention was captured by a particular comment.

“Today I saw people from the external relations department coming to collect sponsorship fees. I happened to be in line, and I saw the boss grace them with ten Game Coins.”

You gotta admit, the choice of the word “grace” was damn exquisite.

That’s how the bystanders are; they don’t care if it intensifies conflicts or anything.

They probably wanted to see just that.

“Hahaha, they even used ‘grace’! So mean!” Dong Dong laughed heartlessly in the dorm: “If the people from the external relations department see this, they’ll go mad!”

He and Zheng Qingfeng both have business-running families. After being around it so much, they’ve also developed a bit of the businessman’s superstition.

Our business just opened today, which means we’ve just started on the road back to breaking even, and you’re already coming to ask for money, causing our wealth to flow out; what’s that all about?

Just opened and already got your eyes on us, huh?

Moreover, when they came to ask for money, their attitude was not particularly good, constantly calling him “junior brother.”

Damn, you don’t know to call me boss when asking for money?

So, the two of them were actually quite displeased with the people from the external relations department.

But in reality, if the arcade had been Dong Dong’s, and the first day’s business was booming, plus he loved to show off, he might have given the sponsorship to them just like that.

After giving, he could even post on Weibo to continue showing off, claiming he strongly supported the student union!

However, as an onlooker, he would be more sober, not blinded by the wealth he received today or the desire to impress.

It’s just like everyone can be the Think Tank in someone else’s love life, but once the Think Tank steps into the field, he’s also lost in love.

“Brother Zhu, some of the content in the forum is kind of stirring trouble, man. Inviting them with ten Game Coins and gracing them with ten Game Coins are two completely different things,” Liu Feng, the monitor of Computer Science Class 2, said.

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. The internet has so many mouths; nobody can control them all.”

Cheng Zhu really wasn’t bothered.

In his view, he’d need to deal with college leaders or even university leaders in the future.

His mindset was not that of an average student, so indeed, he didn’t care about a lot of things.

“In the past, people who came to talk business with me were freaking sent by beauties,” Cheng Zhu began to recall his colorful past life, thinking to himself.

“The student union, you show so little sincerity.”

“So short-sighted!”

…

…

The next day, Cheng Zhu had no morning classes, but he didn’t go straight to the arcade either.

He and Dong Dong went to buy electric scooters together.

Liu Feng didn’t have this budget, so he voluntarily went to the arcade to continue helping.

Zheng Qingfeng’s family told him to get used to the university first and that they would get him a car later, so he had no intention of buying an e-scooter either and went to help at the arcade, keeping Liu Feng company.

Eventually, Cheng Zhu did buy a pink scooter, while Dong Dong got a black one.

The design of electric scooters was increasingly stylish these days.

Cheng Zhu felt that with the autumn just starting and the weather cooling down, being a wind-chasing youth was pretty enjoyable.

After riding around for a bit, he inexplicably felt better!

Dong Dong arrived at “Youu Come to Play” a little later than him, not because his scooter was slower, but because after buying it, the first thing he did was take a picture, post it on Weibo, and caption it: Bought a little ride with my living expenses.

Good grief, you couldn’t tell if the focus of his Weibo post was on the words “living expenses” or on the ride itself.

After both arrived at “Youu Come to Play,” as per their agreement from last night, Dong Dong sat at the cash desk to exchange Game Coins for customers.

Cheng Zhu wandered aimlessly around the arcade, occasionally opening the glass doors of the machines to rearrange the position of the stuffed toys.

When he had nothing to do, he could also watch Yao Yina dance by the dance machine.

This long-legged hottie would twist her pert bottom more energetically when she saw her male idol passing by.

And sure enough, she did wear black stockings today.

Moreover, she wore an oversized T-shirt on her upper body, its hem covering her rounded bottom, hiding the pants entirely. Below the shirt were legs wrapped in black stockings, creating the illusion that she wasn’t wearing pants.

This style of dressing was quite popular in these recent years, although it seemed to lose favor with girls in a few years.

However, on platforms like TikTok, such attire in dance videos was still common.

As for Dong Dong, he suffered several psychological traumas today.

A few girl customers who came to buy Game Coins asked upon seeing him, “Is the boss not in the arcade today?”

What does that mean? Everyone says the boss is handsome, so when you see me, you automatically assume I’m not the boss?

Ah! My heart! Shattered into pieces!

He idly pointed in the direction where Cheng Zhu was, resulting in the two girls’ eyes lighting up immediately, whispering excitedly with vivid expressions.

“Forget it! I won’t come to help tomorrow!” Mr. Dong made a decision in his heart.

They say proximity to the water tower brings the moon within reach, so why do all the pretty girls in this store seem to have nothing to do with me?

He even thought, “Maybe if Cheng isn’t in the store one day, it’ll be better?”

By two o’clock in the afternoon, Dong Dong at the cash register glanced at today’s revenue.

The three of them thought Cheng must be making a killing, and now that he saw the exact numbers, he was still shocked.

“Holy shit, how much is Cheng going to earn in a month!”

“He’s gonna be filthy rich!”

As he was stunned, he heard a familiar voice.

“Dong Dong? Are you working at Cheng Zhu’s arcade?” A woman’s voice came from the entrance of the store.

Dong Dong turned his head and was immediately taken aback.

Because standing at the entrance was a woman dressed in OL-style attire: a cream silk long-sleeve blouse tucked into a black hip-hugging knee-length skirt, smooth and shapely calves beneath, and a pair of 3cm low-heeled black shoes.

She still wore those gold-rimmed glasses, with her slightly curled hair casually draped, exuding a subtle intellectual beauty.

“Mr. Chen!” Dong Dong couldn’t help but greet her.

The arrival was none other than their Computer Science Class 2 counselor, Chen Jieyu.
