Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 189 Busy schedule, heading to Europe
PS: There will be another update later, it will be after 12 o'clock.

……

"Brother, are you going to invest in catering?" Sun Kai was very curious. "You see, Yao Ming opened a Yao restaurant. With Yao Ming's own reputation, the business is quite booming!"

"Your reputation is no worse than Yao Ming. If you invest in opening a 'Chen Restaurant' now, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

Catering?Sorry, Chen Ran never thought about it.

Indeed, we Chinese people have a special liking for food since ancient times, and we also like to constantly study and innovate.

So when it comes to catering, Chinese people are also very, very good at it.

Although many restaurants are extremely busy when they first open, with long queues all the time, it is very likely that after a while they will be empty and replaced by other new restaurants.

The competition among Chinese people in the catering industry is too fierce.

It is not enough for these guys to compete within China, they will also compete overseas.

For example, in a commercial street in a certain European country, there is a restaurant opened by Chinese people, and it makes money. Then after a while, that store will be surrounded by stores opened by Chinese people.

As for the stores opened by locals in Europe, they can only close down.

The shops opened by us Chinese people are running day and night, so how can those lazy Europeans get away with it?

Chen Ran felt that even if he was a celebrity or a public figure, he probably wouldn't be able to win over those guys.

You see, Yao Ming's "Yao Restaurant" has closed down after being prosperous for several years.

Later, many domestic entertainment stars entered the catering industry and opened various hot pot restaurants. The result was a mess and infamy was left behind.

"No, I don't open a restaurant." Chen Ran joked with a smile, "You can try it if you are interested, but I'm not interested."

His goal is simple and crude, which is to buy shops and collect rent. No matter how clever this guy Sun Kai is, he will not be moved.

"Okay, I'll give my dad a message." Sun Kai could only nod helplessly.

In this era, there are not many bosses with sufficient cash flow, especially in third-tier small cities like Dongzhou City.

If this classmate of mine could really buy a bunch of shops owned by his father in one go, that would be a very considerable amount of cash.

Afterwards, the two chatted about school affairs for a while.

Anyway, Sun Kai felt that he was so miserable in school and had no meaning at all, because his status as a young master could not bring him any extra points.

Those girls in school who had excellent grades and outstanding looks simply looked down on him.

Girls in this period are very simple and simple. They have not experienced hardships or ups and downs in society. They feel that they are top students in key high schools and look down on such idle young men.

In particular, the information channels that girls can obtain are very limited, and it is basically from TV dramas. In TV dramas, such young men are basically villains.

Perhaps a talented and handsome poor scholar may be more likely to attract these girls.

After hearing this, Chen Ran secretly sighed that girls in this era are really innocent.

So Sun Kai can only go to Internet cafes in the hope of meeting a female netizen he likes.

Chen Ran was about to fly to Europe, so the meeting with Sun Kai's father could only be postponed for a while.After all, purchasing so many shops at one time is definitely not something that happens overnight.

After Sun Kai got off the bus, Chen Ran continued to take a nap in the car with his eyes slightly closed.

When he came to his alma mater this time, he planned to come and leave in a low-key manner. This was also the agreement between Chen Ran and the principal of Dongzhou Middle School.

The school hopes that Chen Ran will take a group photo with the school leaders after returning from the honor and hang the photo on the school's photo wall.

As a member of the school, he had no reason to refuse this request, which was not too much.

After waiting for the school bell to ring again, Chen Ran, accompanied by assistants and school staff, quietly came to the principal's office and took photos with several appointed school leaders without attracting anyone's attention.

Even so, it still caused a sensation in a small area.

Several nearby teachers who had no class assignments still came out of curiosity after hearing the news.

After all this was over, when Chen Ran walked quietly back along the campus path, a volleyball suddenly rolled to his feet.

"Classmate, please throw the volleyball over here."

Chen Ran picked up the volleyball and when he looked up and saw the girl running over, he was stunned for a moment and then waved to her.

In physical education classes on high school campuses, only girls can play volleyball, because boys are either playing basketball or football.

As for tennis, some boys want to play it, but the threshold for getting started is a bit high.

At this moment, the girl also saw Chen Ran and covered her mouth in surprise, obviously very surprised to see him here.

"Chen Ran, when did you come back?"

"I have something to do and I have to go back to school. Then!" Chen Ran threw the volleyball in his hand to the girl, "But now I have to go."

"Oh..." the girl was stunned for a while, "You just came back from the United States and are you going to Europe soon?"

"Yes, the first stop in Europe is Madrid, Spain." Chen Ran smiled lightly, "You...you wear glasses when playing volleyball now, you must be very busy studying, right?"

"Yes, the academic work in high school is much more arduous than that in junior high school, so you can do some exercise during physical education class." The girl said calmly, with a peaceful smile on her face.In the distance, the voice of a female companion came.

"Zhou Jing, why aren't you here yet? Do you know that person?"

The girl smiled sheepishly and raised the volleyball in her hand: "They asked me to play ball, so I'll leave first. By the way... I will keep it a secret for you. If you let them know you are here, I will definitely It will be very exciting.”

"Well...see you then."

Chen Ran waved his hand and at the same time pressed the visor of the hat on his head down a little further.

"It's been a year. It's been almost a year since I was reborn."

During this year, Chen Ran spent most of his time fighting everywhere, and the only time he had on campus was the moonlight scene when he was just reborn.

Sometimes, it's quite nostalgic.

When Chen Ran left school in the car, his eyes glanced slightly in the rearview mirror.

In the rearview mirror, several youthful high school girls were happily playing volleyball.

From China to Australia to the United States, he has seen all kinds of women in various vanity fairs, but Chen Ran feels that these high school girls have something that the women in vanity fairs do not have.

Maybe a real young boy would be attracted by the beautiful women in Vanity Fair, but Chen Ran is already a man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life in his heart.

……

The short vacation is over.

On the last day of the vacation, Chen Ran met the netizen of his junior high school friend Hu Jie, who was really the Li Xiaofeng of Human Emperor SKY in his memory.

At this moment, Li Xiaofeng is still a little reserved when facing a tennis star like Chen Ran, and is very cautious in his words and actions.

After Chen Ran confirmed that the real person was correct, he immediately invested 50 Huaxia coins in their team, which could be regarded as a helping hand to their e-sports career.

A few days later, Chen Ran went to the Magic City.

According to his agreement with Coca-Cola Company, he will spend two days shooting the "Coca-Cola" advertisement.

He is collaborating with SHE, a super popular girl group from Taiwan, China.

These three little girls are quite lively... Even though they are several years older than Chen Ran, they are still little girls in his eyes.

For example, Ella, known as the "manly woman", is not only lively, but also very straightforward.

When she found an opportunity, she asked Chen Ran in a joking tone: "Master Chen, the Taiwanese media calls us the Asian band. Do you think our name is not worthy of our name?"

It seems that Chen Ran's verbal excitement at that time will not be reviewed for a while.

The entertainment reporters on the scene all flashed excited eyes, feeling like they could dig out some big news.

Chen Ran smiled bitterly and replied jokingly: "Be more rigorous, you should be the number one girl group in China."

China's No. [-] all-girls group...

With SHE's current popularity, there is actually no objection to being called China's number one girl group.

But the subtext is also obvious, you are all Chinese, there is no doubt about it.

Chen Ran also quietly observed the expressions of the three girls and found nothing unusual.

Especially Ella, who bounced back and replied: "This is more appropriate. In fact, I don't like the praise from the media in Taiwan. They always talk about being the first-day Asian women's group. It sounds strange and puts a lot of pressure on me." "

"Every time I hear them describe it like that... it makes my brain explode, to be honest."

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being modest." Selina, the sweetest-looking of the three, also replied, "I like Chen Ran's evaluation."

There is also Hebe, who is now the most low-key among the three, just standing aside and nodding in agreement.

Of course, Chen Ran knew that she would be the most popular after her solo career in the future, and she would also be the most controversial one. She was even almost included in the "soft ban" list by China Mainland.

Chen Ran knows that people are fickle. The person you are today, the person you will be ten years from now, and the person you will be 20 years from now will all change after experiencing many things.

Chen Ran has no intention of changing or caring about how things will develop in the future.

Two days passed very quickly. Chen Ran was a little aloof and taciturn while filming the commercial, and occasionally made a few cold jokes. However, the three girls were very lively, singing, laughing, and chattering non-stop.

After filming the commercial, Chen Ran immediately packed his luggage and prepared to leave for Europe with his team.

As for the three girls, they were also very busy and had to rush to the next announcement.

They seem to be beautiful, but they are also seriously squeezed by the entertainment companies behind them. This phenomenon is especially common among Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

"When will I collaborate with mainland artists? Hey, mainland artists in this era are being suppressed so miserably by Hong Kong and Taiwan."

When Chen Ran boarded the plane to Madrid, Spain, such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
