You didn’t accept my confession, why are you crying because I changed my mind? Chapter 138

Chapter 138

The next day dawned, crisp and clear.

Jiang Zhou headed to the Administration for Industry and Comrce and registered a company.

The na wasn’t important, he just called it Xingzhou Investnts.

It would serve mainly as a platform to receive investnts.

Later, it would rge into Ganfanren and spawn subsidiaries across other industries.

Now, Jiang Zhou wouldn’t have to negotiate as a re university student.

He was President Jiang of Xingzhou Investnts!

Sure, it was just an empty shell of a company, but damn, it felt good.

After finishing up, he returned to campus, only to be summoned to the principal’s office by Yan Weimin.

“Yesterday, we heard from the venture conference. You secured ten million in investnt?!

“Such an important matter, why didn’t you report it right away?”

The director of academic affairs, the principal, and the vice-principal all sat lined up like three Buddhas, eyes burning with intensity.

But their gazes weren’t stern, they were full of admiration.

“Leaders, I didn’t speak up imdiately because… well, I was embarrassed.”

“What? Why embarrassed?”

“Because I feel like I failed. Ganfanren only secured ten million. I’ve let you down.”

The principal almost fainted. “Our highest estimate was five million!”

Jiang Zhou sighed. “But my target was twenty million. Who knew there’d be complications?”

Cough cough!

Yan Weimin flushed on his behalf. “Tone it down a bit. Ten million already far exceeded expectations. What complications?”

“I didn’t even attend in person yesterday. If I had gone and used my looks to sway them, I could’ve bagged thirty million easily.”

Buzz!

All three administrators shot to their feet, eyes misty.

He didn’t even go… and still got ten million?!

If he had gone, who knows how much more he’d have pulled in?!

For years, Shangjing’s universities had been weaklings in student entrepreneurship.

But now, finally, they had crushed the competition!

Jiang Zhou… what a prodigy.

And he was only a freshman. Who could predict where he’d be in four years?

“Jiang Zhou, get back to work and keep building. One day, you’ll be a star in our alumni hall of fa!”

“Thank you for your encouragent, leaders. I’ll keep striving! Today, I am proud of Shangjing University. Tomorrow, Shangjing University will be proud of !”

Hearing this, Principal Qin felt his scalp tingle.

What a tiless line, it made even him shiver.

Today, I am proud of Shangjing University. Tomorrow, Shangjing University will be proud of !

Perfect. It had to be printed in the freshman handbook.

Jiang Zhou really is a student full of surprises!

Thinking about it this way, the last ti he got tricked didn’t feel so painful anymore.

“Go on, go on. If you need anything, just ask!”

“Thank you, Principal. Thank you, Vice-Principal. Thank you, Director!”

Jiang Zhou thanked them repeatedly, then walked out of the principal’s office.

Ah, sotis putting on a bit of a show really did feel refreshing.

But now that the show was over, the real workload would only get heavier.

Promoting city-wide ant they couldn’t rely on small tricks like handing out flyers.

First, he’d run ground promotions, and then put an ad on TV.

After all, with ten million in investnt, why not make use of it?

So Jiang Zhou imdiately posted part-ti job listings around the university district. It was high-paying recruitnt for Ganfanren’s ground promotion team!

Each worker would receive a six-digit promo code.

Every ti a new user registered and placed an order through their code, they would earn a 20 yuan commission.

The more they worked, the more they earned. No cap!

And so, a large-scale ground promotion campaign kicked off in the early winter.

This season was extrely favorable for Ganfanren.

The weather was getting colder by the day, and no one wanted to go outside for fun.

Who wouldn’t prefer staying tucked in bed and having takeout delivered straight to them?

—

Before long, it was already late December.

Over the course of that month, Ganfanren’s orders skyrocketed.

Part of the surge ca from the success of ground promotion.

But on the other hand… many people probably had two phone numbers.

That kind of thing was impossible to completely prevent. Losing a bit of money was just part of the ga.

Jiang Zhou figured, as long as Ganfanren could break out of the university district, this little cost was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

“Boss, our offline promotion numbers are in.”

“Oh? What’s the highest number of successful referrals from a single code?”

Su Nan looked a bit stunned. “Over a thousand? That averages to thirty-three people every day!”

Jiang Zhou thought he misheard. “Every day? Thirty-three people per day?”

“Yeah. Every single day there were users registering and ordering.”

“What the! Could our statistics program have a bug? Who has ti to promote every single day?”

Su Nan shook her head. “Probably not. We tested it dozens of tis already.”

Jiang Zhou leaned over. “Check what tis those users registered.”

“Mostly between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.”

Six to eleven?!

That ant this person was only working five hours a day.

And they were closing six orders per hour!

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou’s heart couldn’t help but race.

With numbers like that, could it be a hidden sales genius?!

Why would soone like that waste ti on part-ti work? I should hire them outright!

“Xiao Nan.”

“Mm?”

“Get in touch with this person. Tell them I want to et.”

Su Nan nodded and imdiately dialed the number.

But as soon as she lifted the phone, her expression began to stiffen.

It was… an invalid number.

“What happened?”

“Boss, the prompt says this is an empty number.”

Jiang Zhou’s eyes widened slightly.

Promo codes were bound to phone numbers.

The part-ti salaries were also paid based on those numbers.

This person had generated over a thousand orders in a month, that was more than twenty thousand yuan in commissions.

And yet, they left the wrong phone number?

Good heavens, was there really such a thing as doing good deeds without leaving a na?

Twenty thousand might not be much.

But this is 2009!

What kind of trick is this?

Could it be… a hidden master at play?

A fisherman casting bait like Jiang Ziya waiting for kings?

“Check the info they left behind. Let know if you find anything.”

Su Nan nodded. “Okay. I’ll ask the people who registered under him, maybe soone knows.”

Jiang Zhou nodded back and left Ganfanren.

Christmas was around the corner.

Another season of white albums.

Having earned so much, it was ti to buy gifts for his little girls.

After making his plans, Jiang Zhou drove out of Shangjing.
