Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 171 Takeaway
Lu Yao discovered something.

That is... this senior of mine is really a perfect fitness partner.

Always on time, always available.

Always lend a helping hand when you are exhausted and need it most.

You don’t even have to open your mouth to communicate.

Her attention was always kept highly focused, and as soon as she showed the slightest sign of being unable to push forward, her hands would already be placed at her elbows.

It’s really enjoyable.

So much so that every time he practiced with her, he would be in a state of exhaustion but extremely clear-headed.

And...the most important thing is that you can have a free buffet meal in a five-star hotel every day.

"It's so comfortable. I feel embarrassed."

Hearing Lu Yao's sigh, traces of sweat appeared on the collar of her clothes. The short-haired senior sister, whose whole body exuded the scent of sandalwood, also had a smile on her cold face.

Let the iceberg melt.

"Working out with someone is different than working out on your own. At least it's not as boring."

"…Senior, do you usually practice alone? Don't you have any teammates to accompany you?"

"Sometimes. But there are very few people who can stay with me until six in the morning every day, all year round."

"Well, it sounds like all of us are just passers-by in the senior's life. That's too cruel~"

After two or three days of training, the two people quickly became closer.

There was a touch of casualness in Lu Yao's words.

Bai Yao just smiled and said:

"Don't come tomorrow. Take a good rest for the day. Go to bed early tonight. It's best to sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow. Your body needs rest."

"Where are you, senior?"

"I'll take a break too. We can just keep practicing 3 times and resting 1 time."

As they talked, they walked into the elevator together.

The elevator door closes and you go downstairs.

Lu Yao's nose twitched and he sighed:
"Senior sister, the smell of sandalwood on your body is really exaggerated. It will be there whenever you sweat."

Hearing this, Bai Yao thought about it and suddenly pressed the button for the 10th floor.

The elevator stopped quickly, and in Lu Yao's puzzled eyes, she said:

"You come with me."

"Where?"

She didn't answer, but walked out of the elevator.

Then he pressed the elevator's up button.

Soon, another elevator arrived and she took Lu Yao back in.

This time, we went straight to the top floor.

Under Lu Yao's curious gaze, she walked out and came to the door of the room at the end of the corridor.

He took out the room card and opened the door.

"…Is this the senior's room?"

He asked, looking at the room which was almost the same size as the Marriott room his girlfriend had stayed in before.

"Ah."

Bai Yao responded and then walked directly to a room.

Lu Yao looked around, seeing the room full of life, and thought, wow... Although he didn't know if this could be considered a presidential suite, Aunt Bai was really extravagant for the girl's "life".

At the same time, he also saw a cabinet full of CDs.

The most eye-catching thing was a CD with a black and white cover, on which there were four men posing for the camera.

QUEEN.

Queen.

At the top of the album, there is a line of red words: QUEEN THE WORKS
On the gray background below the red letters, there is a freehand English signature.

Lu Yao thought to himself, could this be Queen’s autograph?

He leaned forward to take a closer look and found that all the CDs on the cabinet had various words written on them.

At this time, Bai Yao came out with a cloth bag in her hand. After seeing him observing, she asked:
"Want to listen?"

"…Is this Queen's autograph?"

"Ah."

Bai Yao nodded, walked to his side, pointed at the Queen CD and said:

"THE WORKS is Queen's tenth studio album, released in 84. It was also their comeback album after the failure of HOT SPECE. I felt it was just average, but after all, albums signed by Mercury are too rare on the market. I searched for a long time and only found this one, so I bought it."

"…84?"

Lu Yao was somewhat speechless:

"It's almost 30 years old, and you just leave it here?"

Bai Yao asked doubtfully:
"if not?"

"At least wrap it up."

"How can I listen if it's wrapped up?"

"You still listen to it? You still listen to a 30-year-old CD?"

"As long as it's properly preserved, why can't I listen to it? Besides, I'm not a collector, I just like it. If I can't use the things I like, what's the point of buying it?"

"..."

These remarks left Lu Yao speechless.

"Okay, I'm too vulgar."

"fine."

The cold-faced senior shook her head and handed over the cloth bag in her hand:

"Every time you take a bath, take out a bag and put it in when you run the water. The water should be slightly hot, or better yet, you can boil a pot of water in advance and soak it in it like making tea for about 20 minutes, then put the whole pot of water into the bathtub. While soaking, you don't have to do anything. Sandalwood is calming to begin with, so after soaking, you can go to sleep directly. You will sleep very comfortably."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he asked subconsciously:

"Senpai, you don't think I have a bathtub at home, do you?"

"You don't have a bathtub at home?"

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other in silence.

Finally, looking at Lu Yao's speechless eyes, the senior sister nodded as if awakened from a dream:
"Then soaking your feet will do."

"I don't soak my feet at school either."

"You need to soak your feet. There are many acupuncture points on the feet. Soaking your feet every day can eliminate fatigue and a lot of inflammation in the body. It is a long-term self-treatment that is very necessary for people of all ages. There are 30 packets here. If you soak your feet, use one packet every two days."

"Uh……"

Seeing that Lu Yao hadn't taken it yet, she simply stuffed it into his hand.

People with a passive personality naturally need to take the initiative.

Then he walked to the closet:
"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll take a shower."

"…Then I'd better go out and wait."

"No need, I'll go to the bedroom to take a shower, you just wait here, it will be quick."

"Ok."

Lu Yao did not refuse.

I sat quietly on the sofa and waited.

While waiting, he opened the cloth bag and took a look.

Inside the cloth bag were small cloth bags the size of instant noodle seasoning packets. When opened, they contained various wood chips.

It smells similar to her.

But thicker.

Apparently, this is sandalwood chips.

You know what... he gradually began to get a taste of this senior's northern lifestyle.

Soon, he heard the sound of a hair dryer.

After waiting for about three to five minutes, the bedroom door opened and the senior sister, who had changed into loose sportswear, came out:
"Let's go and eat."

"it is good."

……

"Here, breakfast."

When Lu Yao came back with three boxes and three cups of coffee, the hungry wolves from 305 quickly came over.

Especially Yu Kun, he ran the fastest.

Because he likes to eat the sausages of Crowne Plaza Hotel. In his words, they taste like the Qiulin red sausage from his hometown.

Yu Kun drank coffee and looked at Lu Yao who had just returned from the shower and asked:

"You date a senior every day, you're really good at it. When are we going to have your wedding?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

He rolled his eyes unhappily:
"I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow. You raised me."

"No, brother, I was wrong, I take back my mean words!"

Lao Yu quickly admitted his mistake.

And Mr. Xu on the side also joined in:

"I sold my butt to earn breakfast. It's really rude of you to pick up the bowl to eat and then put down your chopsticks to curse."

OK OK.

Sun Ze, you play like this too, right?

"Ahem, what do you think of Senior Sister's blind date..."

"?"

"what?"

Under the puzzled gazes of Liu and Yu, Xu Ruochen's mouth twitched.

So, in response to the two people's curious question of "Did the senior sister go on a blind date?", Lu Yao smiled and shook his head, vaguely answering the question.

After dinner, Liu Yu and the others went to class. Lu Yao looked at Mr. Xu who was lying on the bed reading comics and asked in confusion:

"You're not going?"

"No, today's class is English and I have no problem with English. I'll go in the second period."

Lu Yao nodded, didn't care, and turned on the computer directly.

After reading the comics for a while, Mr. Xu felt bored and got out of bed. Then he saw the cloth bag on Lu Yao's desk.

He picked it up curiously, opened it, and asked:

"sandalwood?"

Lu Yao, who had not yet started business, responded:
"Yes. My senior gave it to me."

“That should be good stuff.”

"What do you mean?" "Don't you know? Her father specializes in the sandalwood business. There is a sandalwood museum in Yanjing."

Lu Yao rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"You might as well just say her father is the emperor's brother. What's the matter? Aunt Bai's last name is Chen?"

Mr. Xu looked disgusted:
"They are playing with small-leaf red sandalwood."

After saying this, he casually threw the cloth bag on the table, and while picking comics from Liu Mingze's cabinet, he said:
"But the situation is similar. Didn't I tell you before that Aunt Bai's family has no male heirs in this generation, and the three daughters have all recruited live-in sons-in-law... I also heard from my father during the Chinese New Year this time. Senior sister's mother likes sandalwood, and her father has been managing this business for many years. It's quite big in Yanjing."

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed... Does everyone in Aunt Bai's family like collecting? I see Aunt Bai has quite a few artworks."

"Yeah, that's about right. After all, everyone has to have a favorite."

"So what do you like?"

"I like you, okay?"

"Haha, I like you too."

“…How disgusting.”

"Haha."

The two chatted in a gay manner for a while, and when they saw Lu Yao started fiddling with the weird "Bagua Formation" again, Mr. Xu, who was a little bored, flipped through comics for a while. After the first class was over, he packed up and went out.

……

By Tuesday noon, March in Shanghai had begun to feel a bit like spring.

But it's still quite cold.

At noon, along with Liu Mingze and Yu Kun, the four people who had not given birth took the subway to Jiaotong University.

I went to watch the women's volleyball team from my school beat up Jiaotong University as planned.

In fact, the local women's volleyball team in Shanghai has always been among the top three in the country.

A frequent winner of the championship or runner-up awards.

The strength of Jiaotong University and Fuhua University also alternates.

Maybe Jiaotong University will be strong for a few years, and then Fuhua University will start to be strong for a few years.

The two sides are rivals who respect each other.

In recent years, Fuhua is obviously stronger.

The several internal friendly matches between the two schools every year always attract the attention of a large number of scouts.

Lu Yao and his friends had played in the CUBA game at Jiaotong University last year, so they were not unfamiliar with Jiaotong University. They didn't need anyone to lead them, and they walked through the school and finally arrived at the stadium.

When we arrived, it was still early for the game.

Liu Mingze and Yu Kun were visiting Jiaotong University for the first time, so they decided to take a look around.

However, the two were unfamiliar with the environment of Jiaotong University, so Lu Yao was drafted into the army.

Lu Yao himself is not a very capable person, but it’s because Mr. Xu didn’t come.

So I had to accompany them for a stroll.

"Lao Lu, you were abused badly by them last year."

"..."

Listening to Liu Mingze's words, Lu Yao thought to himself that you are really talking about things that are not relevant to the topic.

Jiaotong University is really strong, with so many special recruits and high-ranking recruits, all of whom are over 2.5 meters tall. What can we, a group of short guys, do?
Yu Kun looked left and right...

"Not to mention how many beautiful girls there are in Jiaotong University, but I didn't see many of them here."

"You are stupid. If you want to see beautiful women, you have to figure out where they appear."

After hearing Liu Mingze's words, Yu Kun thought for a moment and asked:

"Gym? Lao Lu, where is the gym at Jiaotong University?"

Lu Yao thought to himself that you have asked the right person.

Because he doesn't know either.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and after walking for a while, they happened to come across a small supermarket. Yu Kun said:

"Let's go, it's nothing interesting, just buy a few bottles of water and go back."

So the three of them walked towards the supermarket.

"What are you two drinking?"

"Let's take a look."

As Lu Yao spoke, he and Liu Mingze walked into the supermarket and chose from the wide variety of drinks in front of the refrigerator at the checkout counter.

Anyway, it's Yu Kun's treat.

When they were carrying two bags of water to pay the bill, all of a sudden, the three of them heard a noise coming from the computer speakers at the counter:
"An order has been placed. Address: Men's Dormitory Building No. 2, Room 208. We want: Master Kong instant noodles, ham sausage, and Master Kong iced black tea..."

A very mechanical voice announcement came from the speakers, and the boss who was calculating the bill for Lu Yao and the others quoted a price of 34 yuan, then operated the computer. The small printer next to it made two "beeping" sounds, and a list came out.

Yu Kun paid the money and was about to go out with the things in his hand, but Lu Yao looked at the boss who was holding a list and walking out of the counter to start choosing things. He suddenly realized something and did not follow him out for a moment, but just stared at the supermarket owner.

Then, the boss's cell phone rang.

He was picking things up while holding up the phone:

"Hey."

"It will take... about 20 minutes."

"He just left and delivered an order. If you had placed the order three minutes earlier, it could have been delivered together."

"Okay, I'll try to make him quick."

The boss hung up the phone.

Liu and Yu, who had already walked out, saw that Lu Yao did not move, and shouted in confusion:
"old road?"

"..."

Lu Yao turned his head to look at the two of them, thought for a moment, and waved to Liu Mingze, meaning, "Come here."

Then the two of them walked in.

At this time, the boss also picked up a bunch of things, packed them in plastic bags and walked back.

Seeing that the three people had not left yet, he asked doubtfully:

"What's up, classmate?"

Then I heard Lu Yao ask:

"Boss, do you use an app to place orders for food delivery?"

"Yes, you are not from Jiaotong University?"

"...No, it's from Fuhua."

Lu Yao said, pointing at the computer and asked:

“Can we take a look at this food delivery platform?”

The boss nodded, came to the counter, turned the screen, and said:

"Don't press it randomly, they just adjusted it, I don't know how to do this."

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded and said to Liu Mingze:

"Lao Liu, look at this... Boss, is this an order placed using a computer or a mobile phone?"

"We install a software on the computer, which the students made themselves. Then we input the things we sell into it. They also have their own accounts. After they place an order, we prepare the goods and have someone deliver them."

"…Do you charge people for running errands and delivering things?"

"No, it's free. If I charge, who would buy my stuff?... Don't order randomly, classmate. It's troublesome to adjust it once."

"Uh...ok."

Liu Mingze nodded:

"I'll just take a look..."

After a few minutes, Liu Mingze finished reading and said with a smile:
"It's pretty simple, a small program."

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded and said to the boss:

"Thank you."

Then, the three of them walked out together.

Yu Kun said:
"People from Jiaotong University are so lazy."

Lu Yao was speechless.

I thought to myself that in ten years, you will be one of the “lazy people”.

Then he asked Liu Mingze:

“Is the procedure simple?”

"It's very simple, an interactive software. Everyone registers their own account and fills in the corresponding address when registering. The merchant has the corresponding products and prices. A orders something on the software, and B receives it through the program. The e-commerce O2O model is the same as Taobao."

Hearing this, Lu Yao thought for a moment and asked:
"Is it difficult for you to replicate it?"

"Not really. This kind of program will only take a month or two to complete. What do you mean... you want to make one at school? Well, it should be possible. It should be no problem to hand it in as an assignment..."

“…What if it’s a mobile app?”

"If it's a cell phone... it'll probably take longer if I'm alone."

"How about you start one? I think this is an entrepreneurial opportunity. And it has great potential."

"?"

"???"

Both Liu and Yu were speechless.

"What's the point of starting a business with this thing? It's just a simple interactive platform, anyone who knows a little about software design can build it."

Liu Mingze still hasn't reacted yet.

But that's okay.

It's normal for them not to react. It's enough for Lu Yao to react.

"Let me put forward a hypothesis, please listen to it."

He began to describe the concept of "takeout".

Keep it simple.

In short, after walking from the small supermarket to the Jiaotong University Gymnasium, both of them understood the concept that Lu Yao was talking about.

"So, Lao Lu, what you mean is, we can create a mobile app, and when people place orders on the app, we hire people to deliver the goods, right? Then we give the delivery people some money as a fee for running errands. And then we take a cut from the middle?"

When Lu Yao described the blueprint of the future "takeout empire" in the simplest words, both of them understood.

"Yes."

Lu Yao nodded:
"I feel like this thing has a lot of potential. Didn't you just see the commercial demand? There are always lazy people who don't want to use it."

"Well……"

Liu Mingze thought about it and it seemed to be true.

So he said:

"Then go back and think about it."

“It has to be quick, because Jiaotong University already has a mature system.”

"Don't worry, I understand."

Liu Mingze also became completely interested.
