Chapter 1072: The Female Shop Owner's Admiration!

~5 min read 815 words

When she heard Yu Zhouzhou ask about domestically produced cellos,

the female shop owner's eyes dimmed slightly,

but not because Yu Zhouzhou wanted to buy a domestic cello.

Rather, in her view,

a beautiful young girl with Yu Zhouzhou's image and temperament

should be equipped with a signature limited edition handcrafted by the most top-tier master artisans,

only then could the preciousness of both be displayed, barely qualifying as a perfect match.

However,

from the very first moment she saw Yu "Er Ba Ling" Zhouzhou,

the female shop owner was not only surprised by Yu Zhouzhou's peerless beauty, but also noticed the clean yet worn Tsinghua-Peking University uniform on her.

Since they did business beside Tsinghua-Peking University,

these shop owners naturally knew the school and the habits of several professors very well.

So,

Teacher Feng only allowed students to wear school uniforms during class,

but the fact that most students would custom-order expensive uniforms at high prices was already common knowledge.

After all,

nowadays at Tsinghua-Peking University, there are not only noble sons of poor families,

but more are wealthy aristocrats who have been raised as elites since childhood.

For the sake of their studies, they could accept Teacher Feng's requirements,

but at the same time, for beauty and freedom, they could also make their own changes according to Teacher Feng's rules.

Therefore,

on Instrument Street, it was very common to see students wearing Tsinghua-Peking University uniforms,

but

seeing a student wearing a genuine Tsinghua-Peking University uniform that was obviously washed old yet still being worn was truly uncommon.

The female shop owner was already in her thirties,

long past the stage of believing "human determination can conquer heaven, and knowledge changes destiny."

She knew that

this peerlessly beautiful little sister before her eyes,

if she wanted to change her destiny, could only marry well or attach herself to someone powerful.

Anything else basically did not exist.

Even if this little girl possessed huge talent in music,

even if this little girl worked hard for over ten years and finally became the principal cellist of a top European symphony orchestra,

at most, at most,

she could only immigrate to Europe alone,

transforming from a girl of a poor family into a somewhat famous but moneyless person who still longed for love and freedom and pretended to live well, a miserable worker.

Although living in a house she bought herself and driving a car she bought herself,

she would still carry loans of hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros on her back.

Although she went in and out of various high-end hotels and bars daily,

she would still subconsciously calculate the price in her heart when ordering, and even the tip would forever be only 15%; even an extra dime would make her heart ache, and she would complain that Europe's mobile payment services were truly trash, and she still had to carry cash when going out...

To be honest,

these lives were the true reflection of the female shop owner before her eyes,

and only after becoming the principal cellist of a certain Royal Symphony Orchestra at age 32 did she suddenly realize that

originally,

the life she had always pursued and hoped for

was actually truly meaningless, sometimes even making her feel nauseous...

So,

after barely continuing for two more years and saving some money,

this female shop owner directly returned to her alma mater, outside Tsinghua-Peking University,

found a relatively secluded storefront, and opened her own small music shop.

Relying on her connections and relationships abroad, she obtained some high-quality instruments to bring back.

From time to time, she could even find some past friends to sign their names.

Then, as long as she returned to the country, one instrument could earn her over a hundred thousand or even several hundred thousand.

So, the female shop owner's daily life was basically guarding the shop and lying flat.

Therefore,

the female shop owner directly placed a recliner in the shop.

Originally,

like other shops, the female shop owner had only planned to sell imported instruments.

After all, the female shop owner's connections and sources were superior to other shops.

However, a former university classmate of the female shop owner had switched careers to make instruments and asked the female shop owner for help,

so,

The female owner had hung three or four zithers in the shop, waiting quietly for the destined one.

Hearing Yu Zhouzhou ask about these domestic zithers,

the female owner's eyes dimmed, and she couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart,

then,

she pointed to the most remote display stand in the shop and said, "The zithers are there; look around as you please."

"Thank you."

Yu Zhouzhou replied, then walked toward the corner with Zhu Yun,

but the female owner, at that moment, looked at the zither case on Yu Zhouzhou's back and sighed deeply once more...
