By noon, the number of people coming to Zhou Yuwen for phone cards had only increased. Initially, Zhou Yuwen had around eighty effective custors, with Li Shiqi bringing twenty more, Liu Shuo adding five, and another eight or nine walk-ins. In total, they had over a hundred custors.
However, Chen Wan decided getting commissions from Zhou Yuwen was more profitable, so she brought her thirty-plus custors and another five or six walk-ins, swelling the crowd at Zhou Yuwen's booth. Li Shiqi, although not naturally skilled in sales, was willing to learn. Despite her lack of social skills, she handed out flyers at the school gate, patiently asking new students if they needed a phone card.
Having such dedicated helpers made Zhou Yuwen very happy.
"Brother Zhou, I didn't know you and Li Shiqi had this kind of relationship!" Liu Shuo teased, nudging Zhou Yuwen.
"What relationship?" Zhou Yuwen asked, curious.
"Co on, you can't hide it from ," Liu Shuo winked.
Zhou Yuwen brushed it off, "Nonsense. It's almost lunchti. Let's go to the cafeteria and get so boxed als. You and your friends have been working hard; we can't let you go hungry."
"No need, Brother Zhou. We're like family. Besides, I enjoy helping out," Liu Shuo replied.
Despite his words, Zhou Yuwen insisted. With nearly two hundred people needing cards, it would take a while. He ordered so boxed als, and Liu Shuo's group and the telecom staff took a break under the trees.
"Why don't you and your friends return for now, Liu Shuo? There's no need for you to stay and help," Zhou Yuwen suggested.
"No way, Brother Zhou! We don't have much to do anyway, and we can enjoy watching the girls and helping out. Right, guys?" Liu Shuo called to his friends.
They all nodded, smiling.
Zhou Yuwen appreciated their help. It made the scene more manageable. He noticed Li Shiqi was still busy handing out flyers and brought her a water bottle.
"Take a break. There are boxed als over there," he said.
Li Shiqi smiled and shook her head, "I'm not hungry."
"You still need to rest. Not many people are getting cards at noon," Zhou Yuwen insisted.
Seeing the lower crowd, Li Shiqi reluctantly agreed and followed Zhou Yuwen to rest under the tree.
"I've got thirty people, including those I found at the gate. You promised an extra two hundred yuan if I got over thirty. Does that still count?" Li Shiqi asked, her big, watery eyes blinking.
Li Shiqi's beauty rivaled Su Qing's. With fair skin and delicate features, she was eighteen or nineteen. Her skin was fresh and dewy.
"Of course! I'll even throw in a free bottle of water and a boxed al. How about that?" Zhou Yuwen joked.
Li Shiqi rolled her eyes, "I'd rather you just give
the cash."
"Are you really that short on money?" Zhou Yuwen asked, feeling a bit intrusive.
Li Shiqi smiled softly, unsure how to respond. Fortunately, familiar faces arrived to get cards, easing the awkwardness. It was Gu Yaoyao and her dormmates.
Despite Zhou Yuwen's advice that one card per dorm was enough, Gu Yaoyao insisted on getting her own. She was surprised by the large operation Zhou Yuwen had set up and asked excitedly, "Zhou Yuwen, how many cards are you selling? How much will you make?"
Zhou Yuwen smiled, "Not much."
Gu Yaoyao complained, "Class rep, you've worked
to the bone."
Zhou Yuwen had handed over the military training uniforms and left, leaving the rest to Gu Yaoyao, which was unfair. He apologized with a sheepish smile, "My bad. I'll give you an extra 50GB of data. Here's your card and ID."
"I can't use up all this data! Find another way to make it up to ," Gu Yaoyao pouted.
"I'll treat you to a al," Zhou Yuwen offered.
"You said it! I'll hold you to that," she replied playfully.
Though Liu Yue tried hard, Gu Yaoyao always managed to take over the conversation, which made Liu Yue a bit jealous. Despite her efforts, Zhou Yuwen remained distant. She wondered if he judged people by their looks.
After Gu Yaoyao's group got their cards, Chang Hao arrived with Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan. Chang Hao had planned to take them to lunch, but Su Qing wanted to see Zhou Yuwen's card business, and Zheng Yanyan followed out of curiosity.
Shen Yu ca along, too. She had learned that Zhou Yuwen wasn't an upperclassman, and Given Su Qing's intense feelings, it was impossible to keep this a secret. Shen Yu felt disappointed and almost didn't get a card from Zhou Yuwen, but her curiosity about Su Qing's relationship with him drew her along.
Among them, Zheng Yanyan was the most fashionably dressed, often wearing revealing clothes like denim shorts that showcased her long legs. She naturally attracted attention, and Chang Hao enjoyed the envious looks from passersby.
In contrast, Su Qing dressed more maturely in a white shirt, jeans, and white sneakers. Her hair was neatly tied up, and she looked every bit the professional designer. Zhou Yuwen felt a bit anxious making eye contact with her but was saved when Chang Hao greeted him first.
Zhou Yuwen chatted with Chang Hao, avoiding Su Qing's gaze. However, he could tell from her eyes that she was starting to suspect him.
This wasn't how things went in their previous life!
