Chapter 135 - Ninety-Eight: She’s a Good Girl_3
Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Zhou Yuwen planned to start a labor service company, but he wasnât going to run it himself; it was for Liu Shuo, with Yuwen providing only the financial support. The rest was for Liu Shuo to handle by himself.
"Ah? Brother Zhou, am I up to it?" Liu Shuo hadnât expected that, being only a freshman, he could actually be a boss, and he felt rather nervous.
Zhou Yuwen said there was nothing he couldnât do. "Youâve already found fifty people. Iâve sorted out the channels for you; you just need to make the contacts. While itâs quiet, run to the business bureau and register for a business license. You need to get this company up and running; otherwise, it will be inconvenient later.
Youâve already set this up, and more people will definitely come to you for part-time jobs, right?"
Liu Shuo actually knew nothing, but he felt that his Brother Zhou was helping him take off, which really touched him. Zhou Yuwen even asked if he dared to do it.
Liu Shuo, caught up in the moment, said, "I dare! Definitely dare, Brother Zhou. Whatever you ask me to do, Iâll do it!"
"Then alright, you first add him on WeChat. Iâve roughly settled the details for you, just talk it out with him directly."
Zhou Yuwen discussed the labor service company on the balcony with Liu Shuo. Not taking a percentage seemed unrealistic, but they would figure out the specifics as they went, ensuring that their friends following them wouldnât lose out, and then see what else was needed to start the company.
Moreover, if his classmates were in urgent need of money for meals, they could advance their salaries. They still needed to eat.
It wasnât an exaggeration from Zhou Yuwen, who had grown up at this age, knowing all too well how some students struggled even to scrape together meal money.
The part-time jobs Zhou Yuwen found were absolutely reliable, but due to the high number of people, the disbursement might be a bit slow. However, if they were starting a company, Zhou Yuwen thought of advancing the money first. After all, he wasnât looking to profit from the labor service company; he truly wanted to help these students.
"Hey, okay, Brother Zhou, Iâve noted everything down. Iâll go handle it tomorrow."
Zhou Yuwen was on the phone with Liu Shuo and, at the same time, was gathering up the laundry he had dried.
At that moment, Chang Hao came to the balcony.
"Old Zhou."
"Hmm?" Experience tales at empire
"Yanyan is looking for you." Chang Hao held out the phone.
Zhou Yuwenâs own phone was set to speaker mode on the other side, and he was busy gathering clothes, utterly unable to take the call.
Seeing this, Chang Hao told Zheng Yanyan, "Old Zhou is hanging laundry and canât talk over the phone."
"You hold it and talk to him!" Zheng Yanyan was being rather unreasonable at the moment.
"I," Chang Hao felt a sudden sting in his nose after hearing those words.
Although Chang Hao hadnât put it on speaker, Zhou Yuwen could still hear it, and given what Zheng Yanyan said, it seemed inappropriate for Zhou Yuwen not to take the phone.
He then took the phone from Chang Hao, hit the speaker button, and said, "Hello? Whatâs the matter? Why the hurry?"
Hearing Zhou Yuwenâs voice, Zheng Yanyan finally calmed down.
She didnât know why, but not being able to contact Zhou Yuwen earlier had really frustrated and upset her; hearing his voice now, she suddenly felt a sense of peace, and her tone changed: "Zhou Yuwen, what were you just doing?"
The tone was completely different from when she spoke with Chang Hao.
"On the phone."
"With whom?"
"Liu Shuo, who youâve met."
After saying this, Zhou Yuwen told Liu Shuo he had to go because something came up, and hung up.
"Tomorrow is a holiday for October 1, and I guess the business bureau wonât be open. You take care of our classmatesâ part-time gigs for the holiday first," Zhou Yuwen instructed Liu Shuo.
"Okay, got it, Brother Zhou. Youâre not coming over for dinner tomorrow, Brother Zhou?"
"No, I need to take your sister-in-law to the station," Zhou Yuwen said.
"Oh alright!"
Liu Shuo hung up the phone.
Strangely enough, Zheng Yanyan had actually been extremely angry just now; she had said so much to Zhou Yuwen on WeChat. Yet, the moment she heard Zhou Yuwen refer to her as "your sister-in-law" to someone else, her anger instantly vanished, and she obediently stayed quiet, waiting for Zhou Yuwen to finish his conversation before he asked, "Alright, what did you need so urgently to find me for?"
"Canât I look for you if thereâs nothing wrong?" Zheng Yanyan retorted petulantly.
Zhou Yuwen said, "I donât understand you; when we were together, you rushed off."
And now that weâve been apart, you keep looking for me.
"You also called Chang Hao to reach me, right?" Zhou Yuwen said, glancing at Chang Hao standing there.
He was still folding laundry.
"Well, I couldnât get through to your phone!" said Zheng Yanyan, her voice filled with grievance and a heavy nasal sound.
"Oh." Zhou Yuwen couldnât be bothered with Zheng Yanyan.
"Zhou Yuwen," Zheng Yanyan called out again.
"What is it?"
"Did you see the WeChat message I sent you?"
"Not yet, what about it?"
Zhou Yuwen was about to check his phone as he spoke.
Zheng Yanyan hurriedly said, "Then donât look at it; I was just speaking in anger."
"Too late, I already saw it. What do you mean by this, planning to post about me on the confession wall?" Zhou Yuwen asked as he read the message from Zheng Yanyan, laughing in spite of himself.
"No! Itâs just because I couldnât contact you!" Zheng Yanyan said pitifully, and hastily added, fearing that Zhou Yuwen might be mad at her for the words she said, "I was afraid you wouldnât want me."
"..." Zhou Yuwen listened to her words, and couldnât help but glance awkwardly at Chang Hao.
Chang Hao felt even more awkward than Zhou Yuwen and wanted to leave, but Zhou Yuwen was using his phone.
"Alright, Iâm hanging the laundry. Iâll call you back in a bit. Who finds their friendâs number if they canât reach someone through their phone?" Zhou Yuwen said.
"Itâs because you werenât paying attention to me."
"Okay, Iâm hanging up now," Zhou Yuwen said.
After chatting up Zhou Yuwen, Zheng Yanyan felt much cheerier and said, "Okay then."
"Hey, remember to thank Chang Hao for me."
"Heâs right next to you, you can tell him yourself."
"Annoying, just tell him for me~" Zheng Yanyan whined on her end.
Zhou Yuwen couldnât take it anymore and asked her to act a bit more normal.
They spoke a few more words before he hung up and handed the phone back to Chang Hao, thanking him.
Chang Hao shook his head and said it was nothing.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen continue to hang up the laundry, Chang Hao appeared somewhat hesitant and after a pause said, "Brother Zhou,"
"Hmm?"
"If you are dating Yanyan, just be sincere, sheâs a good girl."
