Chapter 145 - 103 Aren’t You Lonely By Yourself?

Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen were dating, and Su Qing felt a bellyful of grievances.

But no matter what, Zheng Yanyan was Zhou Yuwen’s girlfriend. Su Qing made some disparaging remarks about Zheng Yanyan, and seeing that Zhou Yuwen ignored her, she let it go.

After Zhou Yuwen finished escorting Zheng Yanyan and her friends, it was almost noon. Liu Shuo had arranged all the part-time students working as security guards and sent Zhou Yuwen several grimacing emojis.

"Brother Zhou, you’re really capable. Our school’s other part-time security guards only get sixty or eighty a day, but you found us a job that pays a hundred a day. Our classmates really admire you now (grimacing) (grimacing)."

Zhou Yuwen said if the wages were high, they should work hard. With plenty of people on their side, they wouldn’t have trouble finding good part-time jobs in the future.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, I’ll listen to you."

Liu Shuo told Zhou Yuwen that he had already created a part-time job group, and in one night, over three hundred people had joined. After today’s job arrangements, even more students came to Liu Shuo, saying, "Shuo bro, um, I’m from Shandong, and I’m half from Xu Huai. I heard the part-time wages are high on your side, could you help me find a part-time job as well?"

Actually, these eighteen or nineteen-year-old youngsters had simple characters. Due to educational disparities, they might not have been able to get into their preferred university, but they were honest and wanted to earn money.

It’s just that in the college town, there were too many twists and turns, and the overly honest could easily be cheated. Not to mention other losses, some would work hard at their part-time jobs only to end up losing money on the bus fare home.

Some said that Liu Shuo from the School of Mechanics and Electronics, who seemed to be from the Northern Jiangsu Association or something, had connections and took extra care of his fellow countrymen.

So some thought about trying their luck, like getting Liu Shuo’s contact through a friend and adding Liu Shuo on WeChat.

Liu Shuo was definitely not the type to turn people away. In high school, students mainly focus on academics, and someone with poor grades like Liu Shuo couldn’t find his place. But after entering university, because of Zhou Yuwen, Liu Shuo suddenly felt he had gained importance and could show off his strengths, which naturally made him happy.

He had always enjoyed watching gangster movies or reading martial arts novels about chivalry. What he envied most was the brotherhood in those stories and the growth and strength of their fraternities.

Now, whenever someone came to him, as long as they were willing to join the Xu Huai group, he would grin and say, "Don’t worry, as long as you join the Northern Jiangsu Association, you’re my brother, Liu Shuo. One of these days, I’ll take you to meet our Association President, my boss, Zhou Yuwen!"

"Ah! Thanks, Shuo bro!"

Zhou Yuwen had already given Liu Shuo the contact of Manager Zhao from the labor company. Liu Shuo had an endless stream of part-time students, and Manager Zhao needed these students even more. The two hit it off and cooperated happily.

Liu Shuo reported all these developments to Zhou Yuwen with great delight.

He even mentioned that Brother Zhou you’re now the President of the Xu Huai group, and I’m the Vice President.

And below me, I’ve set up four Protector Halls and eight Incense Masters.

Our Northern Jiangsu Association’s influence is no longer limited to the School of Mechanics and Electronics. Many students from other schools are looking to join our Association, and I’ve appointed a Hall Master at each school.

Zhou Yuwen found Liu Shuo’s antics baffling and told him not to mess around. It was a harmonious society, and he should avoid such regional clannishness.

"I know, I’m not messing around, I don’t only recruit people from Xu Huai, but from Shandong, Northern Anhui, really anyone who wants to join us. But Brother Zhou, you’re right, we shouldn’t call it the Xu Huai group, let’s call it the Northern Jiangsu Association, what do you think?"

"I don’t think much of it, if you want to do it, do it yourself, don’t drag me into it."

Zhou Yuwen frowned, cutting off Liu Shuo from continuing. Zhou Yuwen’s idea was simple. He saw the labor demand on Liu Shuo’s side, so he thought of setting up his own labor company. However, he hadn’t expected Liu Shuo to take such action. Nevertheless, the number of people at Liu Shuo’s end was growing, and clearly, Manager Zhao alone couldn’t fulfill their needs.

Moreover, Zhou Yuwen didn’t want a third party to earn money off them.

After some thought, Zhou Yuwen casually mentioned to Liu Shuo about speeding up the registration of the labor company, and then for the upcoming part-time jobs, he should run more with Manager Zhao to secure more resources.

Liu Shuo was now completely obedient to Zhou Yuwen. In just one month, the growth of the Xu Huai group was all thanks to his boss’s overwhelming capabilities. Anyway, Liu Shuo was set on following Zhou Yuwen.

Besides that, Zhou Yuwen thought, since they had ample labor, they could take on the courier services of the surrounding schools.

It was the year 2013, and the courier business among colleges mainly involved logistics companies subcontracting to students from the respective schools, who then delivered the parcels to their schoolmates.

Before 2015, the courier logistics system in schools was very chaotic. Although students had contracted the courier points, they could only earn a pittance even with all their hard work.

At that time, some astute students chose to get paid from both ends. Not only did they take the meager salary from the courier companies, but they also secretly charged students.

Back then, the delivery fee per parcel for students was fifty cents.

Such charges were unreasonable, but many schools went through such a phase, and even some schools charged one yuan.

It wasn’t until after 2015 that Mr. Ma directly established a Rookie Station. This Rookie Station was him forcibly inserting a foot into the already saturated logistics market. And this foot was simple—it was all about investment!
