The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Once the project was established, Zhao Shucheng and his team began to work hard to ensure its successful completion. This involved purchasing all necessary items and researching relevant information.

After listing all the necessary items, Zhao Shucheng delegated the purchasing to others, while he prepared to program and develop his own program.

After everything was ready, Zhao Shucheng and the others arrived at Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang's apartment near the school.

This was Ye Zhanyan's first time here. After entering, she looked around and found that although there were signs of life here, it was not the place where Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang were living together as she had imagined.

Zhao Shucheng and his team held their first formal meeting here. Although the office location was casual, no one felt it was unprofessional. On the contrary, they were looking forward to the development of this project and the future, when they would move from this small apartment to an office building.

It was during their work that Luo Zhi and Ye Zhanyan discovered that Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang were indeed a couple, as they always managed to anticipate Zhao Shucheng's needs and accomplish what he wanted to do.

With just a glance or even the slightest movement from Zhao Shucheng, Gu Senxiang knew what Zhao Shucheng wanted, whether he was thirsty, what he wanted to drink, and so on.

The tacit understanding between them was something they couldn't learn in a short time, and they might not even be able to have such a tacit understanding with Zhao Shucheng in the future.

That day, Ye Zhanyan received a call from Ding Shuijing, who asked her why she returned to school so early and participated in the same venture capital project as Luo Zhi.

Ye Zhanyan said, "You know, I've never been a passive person or someone who's good at waiting. Since Qi Ming can't see me right now, I'll appear around him often so he can see me."

"Besides, Luo Zhi is just following Qi Ming without any official status. Anyone with eyes can see that Luo Zhi likes Qi Ming. If she can do it, so can I. Even if I can't make Gu Senxiang break up with him for the time being, I'm determined to stick with Qi Ming."

Ye Zhanyan glanced at Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang, who were walking out of the teaching building together, and said, "They say proximity makes it easier to get what you want, but I don't believe that after spending so much time together, Qi Ming really doesn't have any feelings for me at all. Besides, no cat in the world is immune to temptation; some are just bold enough to act on their desires, while others can only think about it in their hearts."

"Zhanyan, are you really sure? You're the school beauty of Zhenhua High School, and a top student now. Is it really necessary for you to go to such lengths for a man?"

Hearing Ding Shuijing's words, Ye Zhanyan smiled and said, "I think it's very necessary."

"But in order to compete with Luo Zhi, you've entrusted yourself to a man you barely know, even going so far as to compete with him, and possibly even share him in the future. Don't you think..."

“I know what I’m doing. Maybe at the beginning, I did have the idea of ​​competing with Luo Zhi, but after spending so much time together, I’ve really fallen for Qi Ming and want to be by his side. So even if Luo Zhi gives up, I won’t give up.”

"Since you've said that, I believe you can. I'll go to Shanghai and see what kind of person would make our Zhan Yan lower herself to fawn over him."

Ye Zhanyan didn't think she was trying to please Zhao Shucheng, especially since she had seen him working together and discussing project plans while he was coding and still operating his stock trading account.

It has to be said that Zhao Shucheng looks really handsome when he's working. The key point is that Zhao Shucheng has a lot of money in his stock account, so much that even if he were to retire now, he could live a happy life for the rest of his days.

Just as Ye Zhanyan was about to meet up with Zhao Shucheng and the others, she suddenly received a call from her senior from the reading club, reminding her not to forget that there would be a discussion later.

Ye Zhanyan could only helplessly greet Zhao Shucheng and the others, saying that she had something to do and might have to wait a while before she could meet up with them.

When Ye Zhanyan arrived at the book club, she suddenly discovered that only her suitor Li Dawei and Zhuo Chen, who had joined the book club after meeting her on the street to ask her a question, were there.

In fact, after such a long time, Ye Zhanyan often saw Zhuo Chen at the book club activities, and naturally knew that Zhuo Chen had feelings for her.

However, she had no interest in getting entangled with these two. After all, compared to Zhao Shucheng, Li Dawei, although a rich second-generation, was neither as wealthy nor as handsome. Zhuo Chen, although obsessed with mathematics, was severely unbalanced in his studies, and in terms of professional ability, he might not even be as good as Zhao Shucheng, who majored in computer science.

Although the two of them had been able to get close to Ye Zhanyan through book club activities for more than a year, their progress was minimal. Ye Zhanyan even told them several times that she would never like them and that they should give up as soon as possible.

Li Dawei and Zhuo Chen couldn't really give up. After all, there weren't many beauties like Ye Zhanyan in the entire university. Since they had the opportunity to get close to her, how would they know it was impossible if they didn't try?

Although they knew that Ye Zhanyan was getting close to Zhao Shucheng, it was obvious to everyone that Zhao Shucheng liked Gu Senxiang, and even Luo Zhi had a better chance than Ye Zhanyan.

Li Dawei immediately offered Ye Zhanyan a necklace, but Ye Zhanyan returned it without hesitation, saying, "I don't lack jewelry; I want something unique. Besides, my birthday has already passed. What kind of gift are you giving me? We're here for an event; have you come to the wrong place?"

Li Dawei could only laugh awkwardly and change the subject.

Ye Zhanyan had no interest in continuing the book club activity. After telling her senior, she got up and left to meet up with Zhao Shucheng and the others to discuss where to deploy the first batch of products and how to conduct usage tests.

When she arrived at the apartment, she smelled the aroma of food and said, "Oh, so you guys sneakily eat good food while I'm not here?"

"You've come at the perfect time! Our Chef Qi is finally cooking today, you've made it just in time. Hurry up and sit down to eat, we can't wait for you."

Ye Zhanyan saw that Luo Zhi and Gu Senxiang were already sitting at the dining table waiting. It seemed that they would start eating as soon as Zhao Shucheng brought out the last dish.

After washing her hands in the bathroom, she walked over curiously, smelling the aroma of the food, and asked, "Did Qi Ming really make this?" "Of course! I told you before that Qi Ming's cooking is delicious, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right?"

Ye Zhanyan nodded and said, "I believe you. Just for his cooking skills, even after graduation, I will stay and work at Qi Ming's company. As long as I can eat this kind of food occasionally, I will be happy."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng bring out the last soup, Gu Senxiang and the others didn't waste any words or stand on ceremony with him. They all started to dig in and pick out their favorite dishes.

Zhao Shucheng smiled helplessly after seeing this. This was also why he didn't cook often in the various worlds. People who have tasted their own cooking find it hard to like the food cooked by others.

Especially for some people, who were not picky eaters before, they now only eat the food they like, and have become picky eaters without realizing it.

After a satisfying meal, Ye Zhanyan patted her stomach contentedly and said, "This was so delicious, Qi Ming! Your cooking skills are superb, even better than many chefs I've had at high-end restaurants. Even if you didn't invest in stocks or start your own business, you could still achieve great success as a chef."

Zhao Shucheng smiled after hearing this and said, "Being a chef is not worth it. It's all smoke and fire every day. It's not your own restaurant, and you'll only get a small salary. It's not worth it."

"That's true. Now that you're so rich, you naturally wouldn't care about a chef's meager salary. But if you were to open your own restaurant, I would definitely be the first to support you."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Then you'll have to wait a while. I have no interest in opening a restaurant. At most, I'll cook for myself when I feel like it, and occasionally cook for myself."

Ye Zhanyan said, "Then I will definitely try my best to be your neighbor. When you cook, I will come over for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Gu Senxiang gave Ye Zhanyan a meaningful look and said, "Really? Aren't you afraid your boyfriend will be jealous?"

"So what? At worst, I won't find a boyfriend. Besides, maybe when I eat Qi Ming's cooking, he'll ask to come and eat with me."

Luo Zhi listened to Gu Senxiang and Ye Zhanyan's conversation and was also touched. She actually had the same idea as Ye Zhanyan, to become Zhao Shucheng's neighbor, but she did not have the courage to speak up like Ye Zhanyan.

"If you don't find a boyfriend, are you going to live alone for the rest of your life?"

Ye Zhanyan glanced at Luo Zhi and said, "No, it's just that I feel my career and work are the most important things right now. I can share an apartment with Luo Zhi, so we can look after each other, right, Luo Zhi?"

Luo Zhi nodded subconsciously, then realized what Ye Zhanyan had just said. She shook her head and said, "No, I won't stay single. My brother would break my legs if he found out."

"And what's there to be afraid of? When he comes, just have Qi Ming act as your boyfriend to deal with him. Anyway, Qi Ming is your shield at school now. But speaking of which, Qi Ming, why don't you help me out too? Those suitors are so annoying. If you help me like you helped Luo Zhi, they'll definitely back off when they see you."

Zhao Shucheng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "You've come to the wrong person. I already have bad rumors circulating on campus because I helped Luo Zhi before. If I help you again, it's questionable whether others will believe me. Besides, the reputation of being two-timing is bad enough. To go three times would be a provocation to those who covet your beauty. I don't want to have endless troubles from now on."

"How could that be? They'll just think you're very charming, and they might even feel ashamed and not dare to show their faces in front of you."

Ye Zhanyan, however, increasingly felt that this idea was quite good. On the one hand, it would deter those suitors; on the other hand, after she and Zhao Shucheng pretended to be a couple, they could take the opportunity to do things that only boyfriends and girlfriends could do, such as eating alone, holding hands, hugging, and so on.
Gu Senxiang knew that Ye Zhanyan's true intentions were not what they seemed, but she had long known that Zhao Shucheng was popular and had no shortage of suitors, so she was not angry about it.

Besides, after spending so much time together, she knew that Ye Zhanyan wasn't actually a bad person; she just lacked a sense of security. Zhao Shucheng's previous help had made Ye Zhanyan see him as her emotional support, which was why she wanted to get closer to him.

In fact, Luo Zhi also had this tendency. Because of their meeting at the beginning of the semester, Luo Zhi chose to trust herself and developed different feelings for Zhao Shucheng. However, due to her status as his best friend, she kept her feelings for Zhao Shucheng hidden in her heart.

Zhao Shucheng did not dwell on the topic any further. After Luo Zhi and the others finished cleaning up the kitchen, he led a group of people to a meeting to discuss the upcoming project testing issues.

Zhao Shucheng and his team have now completed their research and development. The program is finished, and Zhao Shucheng has even assembled the first bicycle himself, which has already been tested.

"The bicycles we assembled ourselves have been tested and are working perfectly. There are no major deviations in either riding or positioning. Now we need to do mass testing, which requires us to contact manufacturers to customize bicycles and also customize our own electronic locks."

"After production is completed, we also need to consider the placement locations and how to promote our app so that more students know about it and are even willing to try our product."

"Of course, there is another problem we need to solve, which is the issue of bicycle recycling. If it is on campus, there are many people, so the utilization rate will be much higher. But if it is outside the campus, we can't just leave them on the roadside. If it affects traffic or the city's appearance, we may face penalties."

"If the bicycles outside are left unused and idle, it would be a huge waste for us, so we need to think about the recycling issue in advance."

The questions raised by Zhao Shucheng were ones that Gu Senxiang and the others hadn't considered before. They only saw the convenience of the procedure and its benefits to students, but they didn't expect that there were so many things that companies would have to worry about.

They thought that once the program was developed and put into production, things would be much easier for them. Now it seems that the beginning was the easiest part, and the end was the most difficult.

Actually, Zhao Shucheng was being somewhat restrained in his words to avoid discouraging them. After all, he had already witnessed the problems associated with shared bicycles, both in the real world and in other film and television worlds. Issues like recycling and damage all require significant manpower and resources to resolve.

Of course, more importantly, soon after the concept of bike sharing was proposed, a wave of copycats would appear, leading to a price war. At that point, you'd either have to follow suit or cash out and leave immediately, otherwise you'd be dragged down sooner or later. (End of Chapter)
