Chapter 170 - 112: Xianlin Labor Service Company_2
Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
The Literature Department was akin to the Web of Dreams at Jinling University; more girls than guys. When Zhou Yuwen joined, he was quickly swarmed by everyone. At the time, Zhou Yuwen wasnât very well-known, but his handsome face had already made an appearance on his social circle, along with his small-capitalist literary lifestyle, which was quite popular among the girls.
Soon, someone realized and said, "@Zhou Yuwen, is that m4 thatâs been showing up around school yours?"
"Oh, so itâs your ride? The campusâs new rich kid!"
"Rich guy, sponsor me! (emoji) (emoji)"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
True to its name, Zhou Yuwen sent a red envelope of 200 yuan in the group chat and then replied, "I look forward to learning from all the senior sisters. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to me."
"Thanks, boss (shy)"
"Thanks, rich guy (grin)"
A group of girls with fresh and artsy profile pictures all expressed their thanks to Zhou Yuwen.
Tao Tian mentioned that the red envelope Zhou Yuwen sent was a bit much and a small token would have sufficed.
Zhou Yuwen said it was fine and wanted everyone to be happy.
After leaving the group chat, there were already many interested girls who had added him. Of course, some girls added Zhou Yuwen not for part-time job opportunities, but because they saw his generous nature and wondered if a spark of love could ignite.
But no matter why they came, Zhou Yuwen added them all to another part-time job group, and also added Liu Shuo. For work matters, just connect with Director Liu.
After briefly explaining the situation to Liu Shuo, Liu Shuo couldnât help but suck up, saying, "Brother Zhou is amazing at getting hold of such channels."
Zhou Yuwen said, "Cut the crap. If youâre going to do it, do it well. Have you finished all the tasks I gave you?"
"Of course, Brother Zhou, would I not do the tasks youâve assigned?"
Liu Shuo had returned to the university on the fifth of October. In high school, he thought playing games was fun, but since starting university, he had been following Zhou Yuwen around and a group of people started calling him Brother Shuo, which increasingly fueled his sense of achievement.
During the holidays, the feedback from the students he arranged for part-time jobs was all positive, saying, "Brother Shuo! The part-time jobs Brother Zhou found for us are awesome, not only is the pay good, but the food is great too (grin)"
"Brother Shuo, when are you coming back? Weâll treat you to a meal, and bring Brother Zhou along!"
The smooth arrangement of the first part-time job gave everyone a stronger sense of belonging to Liu Shuo. Plus, during those days, Liu Shuo followed Zhou Yuwenâs instructions and created a part-time job group. Within just three days, the group was filled with two thousand people, and soon they had to start a second group.
Moreover, students from other universities in the city had heard about it and were seeking to join Liu Shuo. Naturally, he didnât turn anyone away.
Of course, among these events, there were also those who came to Liu Shuo to complain, like being scammed in a part-time job.
"Brother Shuo, they said theyâd look out for our brethren from Xu Huai. Youâll help me, right?"
If Zhou Yuwen knew about this, he would definitely pretend to know nothing at all. No, that wasnât right; Zhou Yuwen wouldnât bother with such things at all.
But Liu Shuo was different; he had a sense of underworld righteousness. He really took it to heart and immediately said, "Bro, what are you talking about? Weâre all family here! If they bully you, theyâre bullying us!"
Liu Shuo was all about underworld righteousness, and the group that gathered around him also came to belong because of Liu Shuoâs influence.
Once people have a sense of belonging and unity, it can be a very fearsome thing.
Liu Shuo returned to Jinling on the fifth of October and he also sneakily brought over his dadâs old van from the factory.
Because of this, he got a scolding over the phone from his dad.
But Liu Shuo retorted: "Iâm doing big things here; Mom, stop nagging!"
To be honest, encountering someone like Liu Shuo was simply bad luck for that intermediary. Usually, scamming a few part-time students out of a bit of dirty money was fine since they thought these poor students were powerless in a big city.
They scammed and thought, so what? You gonna find someone to beat me up?
Unexpectedly, one day, while the intermediary was having dinner at home, he received a message from a part-time student.
When he opened it, he realized it was the floor of his own apartment building.
"This is where you live, right?"
"No worries, weâve got lots of people. If you wonât pay, weâll knock on every door."
The intermediary was stunned for a moment. What kind of society was this now?
"Honey, there are a lot of people downstairs," said his wife from the balcony.
"???"
Stunned, the intermediary went to the balcony and saw that there were five or six rowdy lads downstairs.
I mean, come on, all this over just seventy bucks? A bunch of broke kids!
He talked big, but the intermediary still transferred the money.
With a home and business to consider, there was no need to play tough with these poor students, was there?
"Donât even think about finding any part-time gigs in our university town from now on!"
Those were Liu Shuoâs words, and Liu Shuo indeed had a gangsterâs air about him. He might not make money, but he had to make a statement.
And at this age, most kids felt the same.
Over just seventy bucks, Liu Shuo spent over three hundred that night treating his classmates to food and drink. He might not have made money, but under the operation of Liu Shuoâs gangster influence, they actually became united.
In the following days, any student who had experienced being cheated came to Liu Shuo, including those not from the Xu Huai area. Liu Shuo, of course, welcomed them all, proclaiming that they were his own people!
In just one week, he actually made a name in the university town, and all the deceitful intermediaries were photographed by Liu Shuo and placed on a blacklist.
