Words : 843 Updated : Oct 6th, 2025

Shit, cheating students out of their money? Are they even human? The group of intermediaries behind also knew about the hometown association in the university town, which was tough to handle. Even Manager Zhao had heard of this legend, and that evening he sent Zhou Yuwen a puzzling message: "Little bro, you really keep a low profile (impressive)!" Zhou Yuwen did not participate in such childish games as Liu Shuo’s. In Zhou Yuwen’s view, as long as it was not illegal, it did not matter how Liu Shuo wanted to handle it. It was merely a student group, initially well-intentioned, but this way of operating was definitely not okay. Zhou Yuwen suggested that Liu Shuo should directly apply to the school to establish a club, perhaps named the "Part-time Mutual Aid Society," aimed at helping students find better part-time jobs. In Liu Shuo’s view, he was all brawn and no brains, while he thought that Brother Zhou was very smart, so he did whatever Zhou Yuwen said and followed Zhou Yuwen’s instructions to set up the Xianlin Labor Company. Zhou Yuwen only invested without involving himself in managing the company; Liu Shuo became the legal representative, holding twenty percent of the shares, and all the money, a total of twenty thousand yuan, came from Zhou Yuwen, thus Zhou Yuwen essentially gave Liu Shuo four thousand yuan for free, which made Liu Shuo even more touched. Seeing the company gradually getting on the right track, Liu Shuo grew even more convinced of Zhou Yuwen. Following Zhou Yuwen’s instructions, Liu Shuo had his classmates inquire one by one about the matter of transferring the delivery points at the school. As Zhou Yuwen had expected, the transfer fee for the delivery points ranged from eight thousand to ten thousand yuan, and there were a total of ten places in the entire university town to be transferred, costing a total of one hundred thousand yuan. Liu Shuo felt that one hundred thousand yuan was quite a lot. "Brother Zhou, otherwise, I’ll go home and see if I can sneak some from my dad?" "No need for that, just try to negotiate as best you can. Don’t worry about the money, the main thing is to make sure you can have someone to manage it." "No problem, now every school has my brothers!" While chatting with Liu Shuo about the delivery station in the auditorium, the rehearsal finally ended. Zheng Yanyan ran down and jumped onto Zhou Yuwen: "What are you doing? Just playing with your phone, not watching me dance?" "I watched." Zhou Yuwen said. "Come on, I didn’t see you lift your head once!" Su Qing and Shen Yu also came over to greet Zhou Yuwen, their makeup light and dressed elegantly, while Lu Lin, walking at the back, was still in her usual outfit, black flared jeans paired with a tank top. Zheng Yanyan said she wanted to punish Zhou Yuwen for not watching her dance. "They are pretty rich, probably locals from Jinling," Chen Wan said with a smile. Zheng Yanyan insisted on eating at Haidilao. Su Qing said, why pick the expensive places when you eat hot pot? "Not your money, so you don’t care, right?" "I’ll spend my boyfriend’s money as I like!" Zheng Yanyan and Su Qing often bickered, but they did have a sense of measure, at least keeping it to the point. By 2013, Haidilao was already gaining popularity, though not as explosive as in later years, of course, the prices were as high as ever. Honestly, if you just wanted to eat hot pot, Haidilao wasn’t the only choice. But some girls just wanted to check in at Haidilao, so the place was always bustling - in those days, showing off your trip to Haidilao on your college friends’ social media was almost a must. The group went to a Haidilao not far from the school to eat hot pot. During the meal, what Shen Yu was most curious about was why Zhou Yuwen decided to buy a house? Zhou Yuwen said with a smile, didn’t I tell you before the holiday? "My parents gave me money early on specifically for me to buy a house, I just used part of it to buy a car and the rest to buy a house." "What size of house did you buy?" Shen Yu asked curiously. Zhou Yuwen said with a smile, "Guess?" Shen Yu couldn’t guess, but Su Qing spoke as if she knew it all, "Your parents probably gave you two million for a house at most. You spent eight hundred thousand on the car, so that leaves one million two hundred thousand. With Jinling’s housing prices at ten thousand per square meter, plus renovation, you could only buy a small place." "You guessed that?" Zhou Yuwen laughed. "Hmph," Su Qing had an I-told-you-so attitude, "I know you better than you know yourself." Zhou Yuwen laughed silently as he swished the tripe in the pot, "Let’s eat first, I’ll take you guys to see it afterwards."
