Chapter 288 - 165: Tao Tian, Zheng Yanyan’s Yoga Pants, The Mistress’s Suspicion_5
Seeing Zhou Yuwen paying little attention to her, Zheng Yanyan climbed directly into the driver’s seat, into Zhou Yuwen’s arms, and coquettishly asked if he was angry.
Zhou Yuwen said, "What have I got to be angry about?"
"Lucky we switched to a bigger car, now you can crawl all over the place," Zhou Yuwen said.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanyan burst into giggles.
While waiting for Lu Lin, Zhou Yuwen finished his call with You Changjin. You Changjin was delighted and immediately called Jiang Xinyi, asking where she was.
Jiang Xinyi answered, "I’m at the dorm."
"I just had three job interviews today. The pay is too low, and they even require unpaid overtime. Mainly, it’s far from where I live. Sigh, if this goes on, I might really surrender!"
Hearing his girlfriend’s complaints, You Changjin couldn’t help smiling and said, "Why don’t you come out for dinner tonight? I have some good news to tell you."
"What good news?"
"I’ll keep it a secret for now. I’ll tell you when you come out!"
And so, You Changjin rode his little electric scooter to Jinling University. He often went to see Jiang Xinyi like that, only since she started her internship, she had become much busier, and they rarely had meals together.
If Jiang Xinyi could intern at Zhou Yuwen’s place, You Changjin thought, they would have many more chances to meet.
Jiang Xinyi stood at the entrance of the cafeteria waiting for You Changjin, asking, "What’s the matter? Why insist on meeting to talk?"
You Changjin parked his little electric scooter, then took out the cosmetics Zhou Yuwen had brought for him, saying, "My student went to Hong Kong and helped buy some cosmetics on the side, do you like them?"
Jiang Xinyi glanced at the cosmetics in the box. Actually, she seldom used such cosmetics, but seeing the hopeful look in You Changjin’s eyes, she didn’t want to disappoint him and said, "Oh, how much are they? I’ll transfer the money to you."
"No need to transfer, consider it a gift from me."
Jiang Xinyi wanted to use her previous argument with him, but he insisted that she keep it, even proudly believing he had a good excuse—he said these were bought in Hong Kong and were much cheaper than on the mainland.
Jiang Xinyi wasn’t foolish; she knew they couldn’t be that much cheaper, but seeing his insistence, she thought that later, she would return the favor with an equal gift.
Right now, Jiang Xinyi indeed didn’t have much money on her, after all, her financial support from her mother had been cut off.
"You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Let me treat you to a meal," said Jiang Xinyi, who could only afford to invite You Changjin to a meal with her meal card.
"Hey!" You Changjin was very happy, and then, while walking with Jiang Xinyi into the cafeteria, said he had more good news to tell her.
"How’s the job search going?"
Jiang Xinyi said, "Didn’t I just tell you? I found three, but none worked out."
You Changjin asked again, "What kind of job are you looking for?"
Jiang Xinyi sighed and said, "Actually, my salary demands aren’t very high, just enough for me to live on. My graduate courses are not finished yet, and sometimes I still have classes, so I’m looking for a part-time job, preferably close to the school. But I find such jobs are hard to come by."
Jiang Xinyi became more and more intrigued as You Changjin spoke, and seeing the timing was right, You Changjin said, "Actually, I do have a job that might suit you quite well."
"You? What kind of suitable job could you have?" Jiang Xinyi found it odd.
You Changjin told Jiang Xinyi, "You mentioned your job search to me before, and I took it to heart. I also asked my student to inquire around, do you know about your school’s Xianlin Express?"
"Yes, I’ve talked to you about it. I think Xianlin Express is doing quite well. In the past, students working part-time jobs would earn around ten yuan, but they offer twenty directly. I guess that the boss behind it must be a student with ample funds because jobs like these definitely require some capital upfront," Jiang Xinyi said with some interest when Xianlin Express was brought up.
In just under a month, the previously chaotic campus delivery market suddenly became orderly, and one used to have to pay fifty cents to pick up a package.
Since Xianlin Express arrived, there was no charge at all.
Best of all, for some large items, those students working at the delivery stations were even willing to deliver to doorsteps, though for a fee. But for students like Jiang Xinyi, who would not quibble over a yuan or two, what mattered was the quality of service.
Just on this point alone, Xianlin Express was doing exceedingly well. Experience tales at NovelBin.Côm
Now, on campus, it was common to encounter students in blue uniforms working part-time, and even some students delivering food had donned the blue uniforms. Jiang Xinyi could vaguely sense something and was quite curious about who had started such a large organization.
"Would you believe it, the boss of Xianlin Express just happens to be friends with my student," You Changjin said with a smile.
"Friends?"
"Yes, they were classmates in high school. My student told me that the guy never focused much on studying back then and liked to dabble in all sorts of things. This time he’s taken over half of the delivery points in the university town and set up Xianlin Express. Then, I asked if he could find you a job. And he did help me ask," You Changjin explained.
"Then, his friend mentioned that they just happen to need someone for an accounting position. The salary might be on the lower side, though, only one thousand and five hundred yuan a month!" You Changjin blurted it all out at once.
"One thousand five?" Jiang Xinyi was taken aback.
She had a background in finance and could see things for what they were. It was clear that Xianlin Express was an improvised setup, probably in need of a professional accountant, but they definitely wouldn’t offer one thousand and five hundred yuan for a part-time accountant.
If there were accounting matters that needed handling, it would be more cost-effective to hire someone from an accounting firm. There was no need to spend one thousand five hundred yuan to hire someone directly.
Jiang Xinyi was curious about why they would offer one thousand five hundred yuan.
You Changjin said somewhat proudly, "It must be because of my face. I told my student that your auntie here is looking for a job, and to ask around for me."
"Then once he heard, he said that anything concerning his teacher’s wife is his own business, and he decided on the spot!"
You Changjin had intended to show off a little in front of his girlfriend, but Jiang Xinyi thought it was strange. If this was his friend’s company, how could he have possibly made that decision?
"Well, um..." You Changjin became a bit embarrassed; he had carried on the pretense too far. Zhou Yuwen had only called him after a good while, and not only had You put on such an act, but he had also inflated the salary by 50%. Anyone with a clear eye could see something was off.
All the more so for Jiang Xinyi.
Full of curiosity, Jiang Xinyi asked, "What’s the name of this student of yours? Do I know him?"
You Changjin hesitated for a moment, "It’s that one, Zhou Yuwen."
"Zhou Yuwen?"
