Chapter 280 - 163: Buying a Car, Pampering Lu Lin, Preparing for Singles’ Day_Part 4
And driving an X7 really is a pleasure only when you’re sitting in the back.
Damn, the space is seriously huge, like a little house.
"Bro, where are we going?"
"Let’s find a place to eat, and call Gao Yang over, I have something to discuss with you guys."
"Oh, sure!"
Although Liu Shuo was a good driver, suddenly driving such a nice car made him nervous, damn, Brother Zhou really treats me well! Letting me drive such a nice car!
Lu Lin’s expression, however, was complicated throughout, clearly affected by what Zhou Yuwen had just said.
Zhou Yuwen knew what she was thinking and patted her thigh, "Don’t worry, Liu Shuo is not an outsider, he knows what can be said and what can’t."
Liu Shuo asked, "Sister-in-law, are you afraid I’ll talk too much?"
Zhou Yuwen had dined with Liu Shuo, Zheng Yanyan, and Lu Lin before, and Liu Shuo knew the relationship between Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin.
Now, seeing from the rearview mirror that Zheng Yanyan’s expression was off, Liu Shuo said, "Sister-in-law, just relax, I’d never blab about my brother’s business, hey, brother, I think this sister-in-law is much better than the other one, that one’s all bluster, not likable at all."
"Now you’re giving evaluations?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
Liu Shuo grinned, "Well, I just want what’s best for my brother. Look how great Sister-in-law Lin is, beautiful and gentle."
Zhou Yuwen said, "Just focus on driving."
And so, Liu Shuo quietly drove on, while Zhou Yuwen sat in the back, wrapping his arms around Lu Lin’s shoulders.
Lu Lin’s feelings were complex, that’s one thing, but she was moved by something else. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to get intimate with Zhou Yuwen, but she hadn’t expected him to be even more remarkable than she thought.
She believed she would never be accepted in the light of day.
But Zhou Yuwen had publicly acknowledged her.@@@@
From now on, Lu Lin thought, as long as Zhou Yuwen wanted her, she would always be by his side.
Even if Zhou Yuwen had no money, Lu Lin would work and earn money to support him.
She lay quietly in Zhou Yuwen’s embrace, listening to his heartbeat.
She wished she could lie there forever.
In the two months that Liu Shuo had been in Jinling, he hadn’t wasted his time; at the very least, he’d experienced many restaurants and become familiar with their owners. After every part-time job, he’d take his classmates out for a wild feast.
Plus, with Xu Huai planning to expand and students from other schools coming over, shouldn’t they witness the strength of the Xu Huai Society?
Some wealthy students, clueless and just posing, needed to be shown.
A couple of beatdowns from Liu Shuo and his crew were enough to make them respectful and invite Liu Shuo to dine with them.
The courier supervisor straightforwardly said, "I’ll take as many people as you can supply from your side."
The Double Eleven festival spans from November 8th to the 20th.
Because Zhou Yuwen had a large workforce, the courier side wanted to avoid the hassle and directly offered thirty yuan per hour.
The usual rate was twenty-five yuan per person.
Whereas some campus hustlers advertised the job in part-time work groups for fifteen yuan an hour.
The most deceitful campus hustler even dropped it to eight yuan an hour.
Anyway, some students are naive and just head over when they see a part-time job opportunity.

After working ten hours, they would only earn eighty yuan.
Following Zhou Yuwen’s instructions, Liu Shuo offered twenty yuan per person, initially recruiting internally from the Xu Huai Club, where he managed to gather about two hundred people, and then he posted recruitment ads in various part-time job groups.
At twenty yuan an hour, the Xu Huai Club essentially squeezed other campus hustlers out of the market.
Many seniors despised those people when they saw them, cursing Liu Shuo for being a malevolent force. However, in reality, these students felt that it was normal to only offer ten or eight yuan each, not realizing taking a commission was anything wrong.
Although Zhou Yuwen also took a commission, he was the one assuming the risks, as large-scale part-time events like these require deposit advances, which could easily amount to tens of thousands. Besides, part-time jobs for students were usually settled daily, while courier companies settled accounts later.
Thus, Zhou Yuwen was taking on the risks.
So, making money was nothing to be ashamed of.
This recruitment drive brought in about three hundred people, and on average, each person could generate eight yuan per hour in profit for Zhou Yuwen.
Profit varied with the type of work, but on average, it was eight yuan.
The most exhausting job was unloading trucks; it was tiring but paid well. Outside offers were at eighteen yuan an hour, while Zhou Yuwen’s was twenty-five yuan an hour directly.
There were also forklift drivers, moving goods into the warehouse or working beside assembly lines.
In addition, there were scanning jobs suited for girls, like receiving and storing parcels.
Organizing such a large-scale part-time workforce had essentially gone beyond the scope of what Liu Shuo and the others as students could handle; only Zhou Yuwen had the courage to undertake it. In the hands of others, any mistake could lead to financial ruin.
"Besides this, you guys need to find some accounting students, but not just any students, you should look for professionals from society, wait, I’ll go find them. I’ll advance the initial funds, but since most of the students want to be paid daily, and they trust us, we can’t let them down. We should settle accounts as much as we can," Zhou Yuwen said.
"Okay."
Gao Yang said, "Brother Zhou, I know a senior, she’s graduated but majored in accounting, and she just happened to be unemployed lately. How about I call her over to help?"
Zhou Yuwen replied, "If she’s competent, then definitely."
