CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 627: WHISPERING

Thank you, this simple and honest era! Thank you, uncles and aunties who step up to do the right thing! Thank you to the old grandma crossing the road! And even more thanks to Comrade Police X...

Although the police station isn’t too far from First High School, after dealing with that matter, Zhen Yu still inevitably arrived late.

Luckily, she quickly called Han Mingyue! Not only did she briefly explain the situation, but she also got him to excuse her absence.

It wasn’t until halfway through the first period of self-study that Zhen Yu entered the classroom under the gaze of all her classmates.

After she had just sat down, Han Mingyue couldn’t wait to say, "Did you go out to buy formula? Next time, just tell me about such things! I can buy it for you!"

Zhen Yu smiled helplessly, "Just a couple of punks! You don’t need to worry so much."

"How can I not worry?! Last time it was just Ju Ming alone! Anyway, you’re better off listening to me!" Han Mingyue argued insistently!

"...Sigh!" Zhen Yu couldn’t win the argument, so she could only sigh helplessly and changed the subject: "Here’s a bag! Help me taste if it’s still the same flavor as before."

Han Mingyue didn’t take it, "I’ll buy it myself after school! You keep these two bags to drink!"

"Alright then!" Zhen Yu took her arm back and stuffed the formula back into the desk.

"It’s been over a month now! You reminded me of Ju Ming, I almost forgot. His sentence should be coming soon, I guess!"

"Yeah! I think so too! Why don’t you take the initiative to call Lawyer Sun tomorrow?"

"Um, that’s a good idea!" Zhen Yu nodded: "Once I’m sure how many years Ju Ming will be in prison, I can put my mind at ease."

After hearing this, Han Mingyue felt a jolt in his heart! Suddenly, he remembered the words Zhen Yan had once said to him...

---

During the ten-minute class break, Zhen Yu was hunched over the desk doodling, and Han Mingyue couldn’t help but lean over for a peek.

"Are you drawing Xuehua’er?"

"You realize that?" Zhen Yu stopped writing, turned her head and glanced at Han Mingyue, "Did you recognize it at first glance?!"

"Yes!" Han Mingyue nodded affirmatively, "I remember you just enrolled in the drawing class not long ago! You’ve made quick progress! It looks quite professional!"

"Does my drawing of Xuehua’er look good? Take a look at this!" While asking, Zhen Yu suddenly took out a bag of formula from the desk and pointed at the trademark for Han Mingyue to see!

"This, the Snowflake trademark actually looks like this? This is the first time I’ve looked so closely at it!"

"Don’t you think it doesn’t resemble a snowflake but rather, a..."

"Football!" Before Zhen Yu could finish, Han Mingyue blurted out!

"...I’ll draw it and ask others later! If everyone thinks the same after seeing it, then the trademark design must be changed!" Zhen Yu said while putting the formula on the desk and started to draw according to the trademark.

Han Mingyue silently watched her for a while, then suddenly came up with a question!

"Xiao Yu, is the trademark very important?"

"Of course!" Zhen Yu replied without lifting her head or stopping her hand: "The market competition is so fierce, only by establishing your own brand can the consumers quickly identify you among the multitude of similar goods! And the representation of a brand is the trademark! Through trademark registration, one can establish a brand and capture the market!

The most important thing is! Trademarks are protected by law! If you build your brand, the trademark becomes an intangible asset! You can then evaluate its value, transfer it for a fee, use it for mortgage loans like real estate, um... license it to others for use, in short, it means money! There are loads of benefits!"

---

Zhen Yu’s explanation was quite impactful on Han Mingyue’s thinking!

After a good while, Zhen Yu had already asked the four people around her about the two Snowflake designs, when Han Mingyue suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Yu! Can my family’s pharmacy register a trademark?"

Zhen Yu was taken aback at first! Then she vigorously nodded: "Of course! That’s a good thing!"

Saying that, she put down the drawing paper, grabbed Han Mingyue, and started whispering to him!

"Let me tell you! You can totally get Uncle Han to register ’Yishou Pharmacy’ as a trademark! And design a beautiful and meaningful graphic to go along with it! With a trademark, no matter how many branches you open in the future, the shop signs must be unified! Put the trademark in the most conspicuous place! This way, as the number of branches increases, sooner or later, when the whole city thinks of buying medicine, they would subconsciously think of ’Yishou Pharmacy’! Just imagine,"

"Hey? Han Mingyue! Are you even listening to me?!"

After passionately speaking for some time, Zhen Yu suddenly realized that Han Mingyue’s gaze had become vacant...

This was puzzling!

"Han Mingyue? Han Mingyue!"

"Ah? Oh! I, I was listening..." Han Mingyue guiltily lowered his head.

But then, as he saw Zhen Yu’s hand still gripping his wrist, the temperature of his ears soared again!

---

Unfortunately, the dreamy Han Mingyue inadvertently overlooked one thing: he was currently leaning very close to Zhen Yu!

So close that with just a slight lean forward, their heads could touch.

At such a close distance, Han Mingyue’s behavior being so abnormal naturally attracted all of Zhen Yu’s attention! As a result, Zhen Yu subconsciously reflected on what she had just said, and then she realized - there was nothing wrong!

People’s daily behavior is to talk and to act! Since there was nothing wrong with her words, it must have been something she did.

With clear thinking, Zhen Yu analyzed and immediately understood the reason for Han Mingyue’s odd behavior.

Although feeling slightly embarrassed, Zhen Yu still subtly let go of his hand and slowly sat upright: "Uh... well, how about I help you design the trademark graphic?"

"...Okay!" The two were still in the classroom, after all, so even if Han Mingyue had some other thoughts in mind, he still quickly nodded in agreement.

In contrast, Zhen Yu didn’t overthink anymore. She quickly shifted her focus back to the trademark, thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Your family runs a pharmacy... so should the graphic maybe be a medicinal herb?"

"Yes! Indeed!" Han Mingyue was still not very focused, and as he spoke, his eyes weren’t looking at the pen in Zhen Yu’s hand or the paper on the desk!

Instead, they were fixed on Zhen Yu’s profile...
