Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 241 - 147: Courier Station, Zheng Yanyan’s Bragging, Lu Lin’s Jealousy

Shen Yu was slightly surprised to hear this news, looking up at Zhou Yuwen as if seeking confirmation.

However, he saw Zhou Yuwen just smile and say, "Don’t listen to his nonsense. Didn’t we make some money with the campus cards before? I just thought I’d find something to do and the campus express station was up for transfer, so I took it over."

"That must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Not really, just eight thousand yuan."

"Hey, beauty, my Brother Zhou took over ten of them. From now on, he’s the one calling the shots at these express stations in this area!" Liu Shuo said, embellishing the story.

Zhou Yuwen was somewhat speechless, symbolically kicking Liu Shuo and saying, "Can’t you speak less; will you die!"

Grinning, Liu Shuo chuckled and said, "Then, Brother Zhou, you go about your business; I’ll hang out nearby with Gao Yang and the others."

Seeing Liu Shuo’s embarrassed look from the kick, Shen Yu couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

Zhou Yuwen asked what parcel to retrieve.

"Oh, nothing, just bought two pieces of clothing online."

Zhou Yuwen accompanied Shen Yu to fetch the parcels. A normal express station transfer usually involves a student taking the contract and then hiring two party-time workers, either friends or directly recruited from the school, making about three to four thousand yuan a month.

This is considered high earnings among students.

Having taken over the express station, Zhou Yuwen could also use this model to garner more profits, but since he had ten express stations, just paying salaries meant Zhou Yuwen had to invest a lot more effort in management. Clearly, Zhou Yuwen didn’t have that much energy.

Firstly, as a reincarnated person, he could see further into the future than others. Knowing there wasn’t much profit to be made in this industry, it definitely wasn’t necessary for him to put effort into managing it.

The initial intention of running the express station was so long as the ownership of the express station belonged to himself, after three years he would not be at a loss. Another reason was that Liu Shuo’s followers were from poor families, diligent and hardworking. It was also a way of providing them with a work-study position.

As for turning the express station into an enterprise belonging to the society, as Liu Shuo suggested, Zhou Yuwen did not make any clear statements. It all depended on Liu Shuo’s capabilities.

Two second-year girls were currently part-timing at the express station. They had already heard about Zhou Yuwen becoming the boss of the express station, so the way they looked at him changed slightly.

Zhou Yuwen chatted casually with Shen Yu while helping her retrieve her parcel, like asking why she came alone to collect it.

"Finished class?"

"Yeah, Yanyan and the others went to the auditorium to rehearse. I’m just grabbing my parcel and then heading there." Shen Yu was wearing a simple elegant long dress, making her look ethereal and gentle.

Zhou Yuwen acknowledged, noting that everyone seemed to take the upcoming evening party quite seriously.

"Absolutely, it’s the first gala in college after all. Don’t you have to rehearse too?"

"I talked with the teacher. With something like a mass choir, it’s actually unnecessary for everyone to participate. Removing a few students actually improves the performance."

Shen Yu said, "It’s a pity to leave out your singing, it’s really nice."

"Not really, in this kind of mass choir, you should actually remove the best and the worst to keep it balanced and ensure uniformity."

Zhou Yuwen walked with Shen Yu for a while.

Arching her eyebrows, Shen Yu quipped, "Aren’t you being modest?" Experience more tales on NovelBin.Côm

Zhou Yuwen shrugged his shoulders, and then both of them laughed together.

They then talked about Yanyan not returning to the dormitory last night. Zhou Yuwen was noncommittal. He wasn’t likely to initiate talks about such girl matters, but seeing that Shen Yu tried probing but didn’t get far, she sighed, saying, "Su Qing seems to be in a bad mood."

Zhou Yuwen responded, "Is that so?"

They chatted for a while, and after accompanying Shen Yu more than ten meters away from the express station, Zhou Yuwen showed no intention of going further.

Shen Yu asked Zhou Yuwen, now that the express station was his.

"Does this mean I can apply for a work-study position here in the future?"

"Sure, if you don’t mind the low salary of the express station, it’s acceptable."

Unnoticed, it was already four-thirty, a typical time for students to finish classes. More students gathered around the express station entrance, where Zhou Yuwen and Shen Yu encountered quite a few acquaintances, nodding and greeting them.

Some greeted them quite openly.

"Zhou Yuwen!"

At that moment, someone called out to Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen saw that it was Liu Yue with an unfamiliar boy.

Liu Yue and the boy appeared very close, hand in hand.

Embarrassed under Zhou Yuwen’s gaze, Liu Yue tightened her grip on her boyfriend’s hand, trying to act normal. "Hi, Zhou Yuwen, this is my boyfriend!"

Xu Bowen still wore glasses, looking quite scholarly. From afar, he had seen Shen Yu and actually wanted to avoid them, but Liu Yue had directly stopped Zhou Yuwen.

This made Xu Bowen somewhat embarrassed, but he eventually went over to greet her, "Hi, long time no see, Shen Yu."

"Hello,"

Shen Yu nodded slightly. She wasn’t very familiar with Xu Bowen, having only seen him at the student union and spoken a few words. Xu Bowen definitely took the initiative to talk to Shen Yu, showing interest in her, but she found this boy somewhat frivolous. His speech was filled with notions of freedom and self, which sounded artistic but also rather hollow.

She had seen Xu Bowen being flirtatious with other girls at the student union and now seeing him with Liu Yue didn’t improve her impression of him.

After a brief greeting, Shen Yu told Zhou Yuwen that she was headed to the auditorium.

"Don’t forget to come watch the performance tonight."
