Liu Shuo said he wanted to help, but he was always all brawn and no brain. Only now did he think of Zhou Yuwen, the leader of their Xu Zhou Association.
He explained the situation to Zhou Yuwen.
At that mont, Zhou Yuwen was completely bewildered. "When did I beco the leader of the Xu Zhou Association? And what even is this Xu Zhou Association?"
"Hey! Brother Zhou, you forgot! That night at the BBQ stand was our Xu Zhou Association's debut battle!"
"???"
Fine, Zhou Yuwen was completely confused the entire ti, but Liu Shuo had a knack for conning people at their school. Now, quite a few strong lads from Xu Zhou and Ludong were declaring their intention to join the Xu Zhou Association, thinking it was so impressive organization.
But none of that mattered. What did matter was that the head of the school's external affairs departnt was a real piece of work. He was making students do part-ti jobs while taking kickbacks. The students worked themselves to death, getting up at five in the morning and getting ho at ten at night, only to earn a hundred bucks, while he did nothing and pocketed fifty.
"Brother Zhou, you're smarter than . Think of a way!" Liu Shuo said.
Zhou Yuwen had interacted with Liu Shuo and his schoolmates before. In Zhou Yuwen's view, Liu Shuo's school was full of honest young n. Though they weren't good students, they had decent personalities.
In his previous life, so senior mbers of the student union or departntal heads exploited these free laborers under the guise of their positions. Back then, Zhou Yuwen couldn't do anything about it, so he let it be. But now that he had the ability to change things, why not give it a try?
So, Zhou Yuwen told Liu Shuo, "Now that your classmates listen to you, why don't you bypass the external affairs head and do it yourself?"
"Do it myself?"
"Yeah, there's a high demand for wedding labor in the market right now. Since your classmates need part-ti jobs, you can handle the channels yourself. This way, there are no middlen to take a cut, and you can negotiate directly with the buyers."
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that!" Liu Shuo's eyes lit up.
Zhou Yuwen told him that such a straightforward need didn't require any negotiation skills. But there's one condition: since you're taking charge, you definitely can't take a cut like your external affairs head. Just treat it as helping out fellow townsn.
"Of course, our Xu Zhou Association is like brothers. How could I take a cut, especially since I don't need the money."
Zhou Yuwen also suggested that part-ti jobs shouldn't be limited to wedding services. They could look for other gigs, like handing out flyers or doing winter and sumr break jobs.
"Oh right, you could set up a part-ti job group."
Zhou Yuwen shared all his experiences from his previous life with Liu Shuo, who listened intently, nodding frequently.
Zhou Yuwen never expected that because of his casual advice, the non-existent Xu Zhou Association would slowly take shape. For a long ti, the Xu Zhou Association would control all part-ti job resources in the entire university city. Due to Zhou Yuwen's influence, Liu Shuo, who should have gone back ho to inherit the family business, directly started a human resources company after graduation and beca one of Zhou Yuwen's right-hand n.
Though not highly educated, Liu Shuo was the first to capitalize on the campus labor market, remaining fiercely loyal to Zhou Yuwen. Many things happened later, but at critical monts, Liu Shuo always said one thing:
"Brother Zhou didn't know about this; I did it myself!"
Of course, that's a story for later. At this mont, Zhou Yuwen was still in a carefree mindset, making a little money with his campus card and enjoying a peaceful college life.
After treating Liu Shuo's classmates to BBQ that night, Zhou Yuwen returned to the dorm alone. The mont he entered, Chang Hao and a few others exchanged glances, looking at Zhou Yuwen oddly.
Zhou Yuwen was curious. "Why are you all looking at
like that?"
"Not hiding it anymore, huh, Old Zhou?" Chang Hao couldn't help but say.
"?"
Zhou Yuwen was even more confused until Chang Hao pulled him over to the computer. Zhou Yuwen finally understood.
Damn, soone had posted photos of him and the others negotiating with Zhao Hao at the BBQ stand on the forum!
Soone even asked who the leader was.
"Wow, Brother Zhou, are you really the leader of the Xu Zhou Association?" Even Li Qiang, who had always been envious of Zhou Yuwen for getting the campus card agency, now spoke to him cautiously. He didn't dare to be jealous anymore, fearing Zhou Yuwen would bring people to block him.
"What are they talking about?"
The more Zhou Yuwen read, the more he frowned. How could they write such nonsense?
Soone even claid that Zhao Hao was beaten by a hundred people until even his mom wouldn't recognize him, and then he knelt in front of Zhou Yuwen calling him dad!
Damn, this was ruining his reputation.
Zhou Yuwen wondered how such a defamatory post could exist. He quickly contacted the administrator to delete it!
Fortunately, the post wasn't too popular yet. Zhou Yuwen quickly got in touch with the admin.
He called and said, "Hello, I think this forum post is really inaccurate. It should be deleted imdiately."
"Who the hell are you? Why should I delete it just because you say so?"
"I'm Zhou Yuwen."
"Okay, okay, I'll delete it right away!"
"???"
Zhou Yuwen was stunned. What was going on?
"Old Zhou, you're famous now!"
"Shut up! I've told you guys it's a misunderstanding." Zhou Yuwen didn't hide it from them. He really didn't want to be associated with Gangster. Besides, it was the 21st century, where would you find criminal gangs?
After hearing Zhou Yuwen's explanation, Li Qiang felt incredulous yet a bit disappointed. He thought Zhou Yuwen was really lucky. If he had led seventy people to fight tonight, how great would that have been?
Just like the forum said, Zhao Hao knelt in front of Zhou Yuwen calling him dad.
It sounded more exciting than a fantasy novel!
If it were him, he'd want the incident to be as big as possible. But Zhou Yuwen insisted on keeping it under wraps.
At that mont, Zhou Yuwen's phone rang. He had changed the contact na; it was Su Qing calling.
"Why is she calling so late?" Zhou Yuwen wondered.
"Uh," seeing it was Su Qing, Chang Hao felt a bit awkward.
He coughed twice, "Old Zhou, you don't want Su Qing to know about this?"
"Of course not! I'm not a criminal," Zhou Yuwen scoffed.
"She might already know..."
"?"
Chang Hao sheepishly admitted that he had sent the post to Zheng Yanyan the mont he saw it.
"Are you nuts?"
"Co on! You know I tell Yanyan everything!" Chang Hao thought it was perfectly reasonable.
