Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 243 - 147: The Courier Station, Zheng Yanyan’s Boast, Lu Lin’s Jealousy_3

Gao Yang went up and said hello, asking, "Picking up a package?"

"Yeah."

At this moment, Liu Yue had her arm around Xu Bowen, and when Gao Yang saw this scene, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Your girlfriend again?"

Xu Bowen gave an awkward smile, not wanting Liu Yue to detect anything amiss, and quickly changed the subject, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I’m helping the boss keep an eye on the package station. Our boss has taken over the station, and I’ll be managing it from now on. By the way, what package are you picking up? I’ll find it for you." Gao Yang’s words carried a certain pride.

"The boss?" Xu Bowen was surprised.

Gao Yang nodded, "Yeah, those two from before, Zhou Yuwen, you know him? He’s really impressive."

Actually, Gao Yang somewhat admired Zhou Yuwen; at first, his admiration had been for Liu Shuo.

That’s because when Gao Yang couldn’t get the money he was owed for a part-time job, Liu Shuo genuinely took people out to help him get the money back and even patted his shoulder saying, "From now on we are brothers!"

And Liu Shuo’s admiration for Zhou Yuwen was boundless. Today, when Gao Yang met him, he didn’t see anything remarkable about Zhou Yuwen—until Zhou Yuwen casually lent out a hundred thousand yuan to Liu Shuo and informed him of the future plan for the package station.

Liu Shuo was very obedient to Zhou Yuwen’s instructions.

Observing the interaction between the two during the trip, Gao Yang realized that his big brother Liu Shuo was truly like a little brother in front of Zhou Yuwen, most importantly, Zhou Yuwen was genuinely good to Liu Shuo.

Putting himself in their shoes, if a brother could casually hand over a hundred thousand yuan to him, he would be just as loyal to Zhou Yuwen as Liu Shuo was.

But Gao Yang felt that he too had a chance.

After all, Zhou Yuwen had left him in charge of the university’s package station, so there would definitely be future interactions, and as long as he worked hard, he believed Brother Zhou would certainly notice him.

Zhou Yuwen followed Liu Shuo to two more universities. In the university city, there were a total of nineteen universities, and Zhou Yuwen owned the package stations of ten of them. The remaining nine were either under a contract that hadn’t expired or had been signed over to someone else in advance.

It was a bit regretful. If the package stations of all nineteen universities were under Zhou Yuwen’s control.

The event of 2002 was not entirely impossible.

Liu Shuo said, "If all else fails, I’ll take some guys over, and we can buy those package stations back at a high price!"

"Don’t cause trouble for me, just manage the package stations you have well. We need to purchase some trolleys, and also those standard T-shirts you want. It’s going to cost a pretty penny, and I don’t have the spare cash right now. We’ll have to wait until November."

"No problem, Brother Zhou, I still have a bit of money. If it really comes down to it, I can ask my dad for more."

"That won’t be necessary."

Liu Shuo exhaled deeply, saying, "The main thing is, Brother Zhou, you’re too kind. You’re giving them eighty percent of the profits for no reason. I heard from the previous package station owners that they just pay a part-time student three or four hundred a month, and here we are, giving away eighty percent of the profits all at once."

Zhou Yuwen replied, "It’s different. Those people are solely interested in making money."

"Who asked you to start the Xu Huai Society. Relying on faith alone is fragile. You can’t say you’re treating people like brothers on one hand, while treating them like beasts of burden on the other, right? The package station is originally meant to benefit your brothers. If you’re going to do it, just do it." Explore more at NovelBin.Côm

"Sigh, you’re just too nice, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yuwen said, "There are many ways to make money, and we don’t necessarily have to think about making money off students. Now that we have half of the university city’s package stations, Double Eleven is starting soon. We can go directly to the courier companies to negotiate some other contracts."

"?"

When Dual Eleven Shopping Festival arrives, the courier business becomes incredibly busy, and the courier companies definitely do not have enough couriers, so they choose to contract out their courier services.

Normally, they pay third-party couriers an hourly wage of 22-25 yuan.

During this time, in certain campus part-time job groups, there are loads of part-time package handling jobs available, with the lowest offering nine yuan per hour.

The normal rate is 13-17 yuan per hour.

Third-party labor companies don’t even have to do much and can earn a fortune before and after the holiday.

Now, as a student, Zhou Yuwen might find negotiations a bit easier. And given that Zhou Yuwen had a large supply of student labor, he believed the courier companies would prefer a company that’s simple and efficient.

So, starting now, Zhou Yuwen instructed Liu Shuo to hook up part-time courier jobs, offering them twenty yuan per hour.

As many as needed.

They spread the word in various part-time job groups, regardless of whether it’s for the Xu Huai Society, they referred everyone.

Zhou Yuwen and Liu Shuo chatted all the way, with Zhou Yuwen consistently discussing the operations of the package station with Liu Shuo, who listened intently. Of course, he had his own ideas too, about how to make the unity at the package stations stronger. For instance, every package station employee must be a member of the Xu Huai Society.

Because our package stations are there to help Xu Huai Society’s classmates with their part-time jobs after all. And then, while working part-time at the package station, wear our Xu Huai Society’s special uniform. In the future, even the vehicles transporting the packages should carry our Xu Huai Society logo!

Zhou Yuwen didn’t bother with these minor issues, letting Liu Shuo handle it. His only requirement was for Liu Shuo to have sufficient labor ready for him before Double Eleven.

Liu Shuo guaranteed he would complete the task.

After talking about all this, it was almost six o’clock, time for the freshman welcome party to begin.
