Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Who's the real boss of the Xu Huai Society? They're that impressive?

I heard that even the delivery spots on campus are all operated by the Xu Huai Society?

"Oh, I know about this. A few days ago, our neighboring agricultural college also put up their flags. Have you seen the clothes they're wearing now? They're all that blue shirt with 'Xianlin Express' written on it!"

"That logo is the Xu Huai Society's emblem!"

"But I think it's actually pretty good. Have you noticed? Before, we had to pay a fifty-cent storage fee for packages, but ever since the Xu Huai Society took over the express station, that fee has been dropped."

"Yeah, my friend works part-time at the express station, and I heard the benefits are really great over there; they even provide lunch!"

Because of the sudden shortage of part-time workers in express delivery, Liu Shuo's actions were somewhat brash, leading to rumors about the Xu Huai Society all over the campus. However, those rumors didn't have any substantial basis. Moreover, Zhou Yuwen didn't participate in these affairs. Even with Xianlin Labor and Xianlin Express, those two shell companies, where Liu Shuo was the legal person, Zhou Yuwen was merely an investor.

However, walking around the campus these days, you can frequently see little delivery carts with the Xu Huai Society's logo, and the number of delivery personnel in blue uniforms is increasing.

Even in class discussions, the topic was whether or not to take a part-time job at the express station.

After all, you could earn twenty yuan per hour.

Zhou Yuwen, holding some cosmetics, went to report back from leave to You Changjin.

You Changjin inquired how much money Zhou Yuwen wanted.

Zhou Yuwen said three thousand yuan.

"Oh okay, I'll transfer it to you. You've really helped me out this time."

"It's no problem."

In some respects, Zhou Yuwen's social skills were still not polished enough. He accepted the transaction right in front of You Changjin. Since he was asked to help with purchasing, he charged the correct amount. Even if You Changjin was his academic advisor, their relationship was equal, and there was no need for Zhou Yuwen to cozy up unnecessarily. He didn't need anything from him, after all.

After receiving the money, You Changjin showed no sign of dissatisfaction, but he couldn't help but grumble while looking at the cosmetics, "These capitalist really are extortionate, just a little bit of stuff costs half a month of my salary."

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Nothing to be done about it. Chasing after the professor's wife, this small amount of money is nothing."

Hearing this, You Changjin chuckled and said, "You, young man, are quite worldly."

Zhou Yuwen noticed many leave requests in front of You Changjin and asked why so many people were taking leave recently.

"Oh, isn't Singles' Day coming up? I heard that part-time sorting jobs at express companies are going up to twenty yuan an hour. Look at this, all these people want to go work part-time. Honestly, I'm considering it myself," said You Changjin.

Zhou Yuwen joked, "You've got to be kidding."

"With your job, you can easily make six thousand yuan a month. Others can only envy you."

"Cut it out, nowhere near six thousand. I barely make four thousand after all the hard work, and I can't even keep those extra two thousand," You Changjin dismissed with a wave of his hand.

It was actually after 2014 that wages across China generally started to rise. With the development of the economy, the salaries within the system began to increase significantly, creating an image of economic prosperity for future generations.

Though the current benefits are not bad, people are ultimately never satisfied.

With the office empty, You Changjin seemed to want to chat more with Zhou Yuwen. After all, Zhou Yuwen, who had traveled to Hong Kong twice in a month, was not an ordinary student. You Changjin might need Zhou Yuwen's connections in the future, so he treated Zhou Yuwen differently from others.

He asked Zhou Yuwen if there was anything fun during his trip to Hong Kong.

Zhou Yuwen said it was all right, mostly meeting friends over there.

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I have a girlfriend."

"Hey, speaking of that, I've heard a thing or two about you, young man."

"What?"

You Changjin had talked about Chang Hao and Zheng Yanyan's affair, and Zhou Yuwen said, "Don't listen to Li Qiang talking nonsense. They are just from the same place and know each other, but it's true that I played matchmaker for Yanyan and her."

"Hmm, little Chang is still decent. Although he's a bit rash in doing things, he really takes responsibility seriously. Since you won't come to be the class leader, I can only turn to him," You Changjin said with a look of helplessness.

Zhou Yuwen said Chang Hao was doing a pretty good job as class leader.

Chatting with You Changjin was actually quite awkward. Yuwen was just being polite for a bit, then he was ready to leave. But then You Changjin said, "Hey, I remember, you work part-time at the express station on our campus, right?"

"Yeah."

"So, what's the deal with this Xianlin Express?" You Changjin asked comfortably from his chair, holding a cup of tea and blowing on it.

Zhou Yuwen asked, "What do you mean, 'what's the deal'?"

"I see they have quite a big operation, especially these last few days. Several of the school's carts have Xianlin Express printed on them. When I went to your mentor's school, I saw the same Xianlin Express there too. Your mentor mentioned it, saying that the company seems to have been started by university students. She said it has an innovative operating model; they operate under a contract responsibility system where the top only takes twenty percent and the students who have signed the contract get eighty percent of the profits. I figured since you work at the express station, I might ask you about it."

With a sigh, You Changjin said, "My girlfriend and I hardly ever seem to find common ground."

"Oh." Yuwen thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be this. So he explained, "It is indeed a start-up founded by university students, by a high school friend of mine. This guy wasn't great at studying, but he has good connections. In just two months, he has made quite a name for himself."

"So it's your classmate who started it!" You Changjin couldn't hide his delight upon hearing this. "No wonder! I thought you weren't lacking money; why were you always at the express station. It turns out to be your acquaintance's business."

"What about it? Why would your girlfriend be interested in this?" asked Yuwen.

You Changjin explained, "She's about to graduate from her master's program. Her family had arranged a pretty good job for her, but she feels it's too formal and doesn't really like the environment there."

"I was thinking about finding her a job, but it's a pity I just started working myself. This is the first group of students I've mentored. Just think, in a few more years, if all of you became big bosses, I'd have some connections too. But for now, I'm penniless and powerless," You Changjin said with a sigh, revealing a youthful side devoid of a teacher's authority, genuinely wanting to interact with Zhou Yuwen as a friend.

Zhou Yuwen replied, "That's easy., You just wait a few years, then find another graduate student."

"Go away!"

You Changjin couldn't help but laugh after hearing Zhou Yuwen's words, calling him a nonsense talker.

Zhou Yuwen joined in with a chuckle.

After a while, You Changjin asked, "How's your relationship with that classmate?"

"?"

"Your mentor's field is in finance. I was thinking, if you have a good relationship with your classmate, you could help arrange a job for your mentor there."

Zhou Yuwen was indeed taken aback by the suggestion, hesitated for a moment before speaking, and before he could say anything, You Changjin continued, "I know start-ups aren't easy. I'm just looking to find something for your mentor to do. If it seems appropriate, I can give you an extra five hundred yuan to pay your mentor as a monthly salary."

Zhou Yuwen looked at You Changjin in disbelief.

Yet You Changjin's face showed nothing but sincerity.

It wasn't that it couldn't be done, but the thought was so naive.

Zhou Yuwen couldn't believe this was something a counselor should be saying.

After a long pause, Zhou Yuwen finally said, "It could be done, but we definitely cannot take the five hundred yuan. They have their own wage system there. But does your girlfriend, a graduate student, really take an interest in his little company?"

You Changjin smiled lightly, "She's not in need of money. She just wants to find a place where she can improve herself. If you really could help make this happen for me, you would be doing me a huge favor. No matter what, I'd have to make you an outstanding 'x officer' this year!"

"..."

"I'll do my best."
