Chapter 146 - 103 Aren’t You Lonely By Yourself?_2
Back then, Boss Ma was wealthy and ambitious, wanting to get a piece of every pie, so during that time, almost everyone in the delivery business was making a tidy profit, even the basic student delivery stations could rake in quite a sum.
Not to mention, before 2015, the transfer fees for school delivery stations were really cheap, starting from three to five thousand and towards the end just seven to eight thousand, and at most, a transfer fee of ten thousand yuan.
After 2015, the fees just kept increasing, finally reaching up to thirty thousand.
Zhou Yuwen had never thought of managing a delivery station, but he figured, for a current transfer fee of only ten thousand yuan, he could secure the contracts for several delivery stations in Xianlin University Town, and then, three years later, when he graduated, the transfer fees could double to twenty or thirty thousand, making it a guaranteed profitable investment for him.
Moreover, Liu Shuo and the others had adequate manpower, and indeed, running delivery stations was much easier than finding part-time jobs outside.
After hearing Zhou Yuwen out, Liu Shuo’s eyes lit up as he said, "That’s possible, Brother Zhou, this way, the entire Xianlin University Town’s delivery service would be under our Xu Huai Society’s control!"
"Cut the crap."
Stay tuned to empire
"But Brother Zhou, even if the transfer fee is only ten thousand, I can’t pull together that kind of money," Liu Shuo said awkwardly.
"You don’t need to put up the money, you just need to find the respective school’s person in charge," Zhou Yuwen said.
"That’s definitely no problem, Xu Huai Society’s biggest asset is its people."
"Hmm, okay, let’s go with that, I’ve got other things to handle, gonna hang up."
"Alright then!"
After hanging up with Liu Shuo, Zhou Yuwen checked his phone and saw that he had a missed call from Li Shiqi.
He also had messages from Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan, Su Qing’s was purely a nuisance, so Zhou Yuwen didn’t check it.
Zheng Yanyan sent a message saying, "Honey, I’m on the bus now (cute)"
"Honey, why are you ignoring me?"
Zhou Yuwen replied, "Don’t call me ’honey’ if we haven’t slept together,"
"Tch, like I care."
Besides these two, there was one message that surprised Zhou Yuwen.
It was from Lu Lin, who had actually sent Zhou Yuwen a message:
"Have they boarded the bus?"
It was sent ten minutes ago.
Lu Lin had changed her profile picture, and Zhou Yuwen almost didn’t recognize her. All the other girls had stable ones, but Lu Lin liked to change hers frequently, and her pictures were always those of melancholic girls, usually with a cold color tone, this time using a girl in a white shirt bowing her head.
"Yeah."
It was already noon, and Lu Lin had just sent Zhou Yuwen a message to inquire if Zheng Yanyan and the others had left.
Seeing that Zhou Yuwen didn’t respond, and not waiting around, she decided to make herself a bowl of braised beef noodles in the dorm, planning on spending the day watching dramas while eating.
It wasn’t until Zhou Yuwen sent a dry "Hmm."
that Lu Lin continued with: "Treat me to a meal?"
"?"
"[Picture of instant noodles]"
"I’m out of money for food, treat me to a meal."
Zhou Yuwen, looking at the message from Lu Lin, felt it was somewhat baffling; even now, he hadn’t figured out what was going through Lu Lin’s mind and simply chose not to reply.
He called Li Shiqi, who wanted to discuss tutoring matters.
Zhou Yuwen asked, "You’re at school, right?"
"Yeah."
"I’ll come pick you up, let’s have a meal together," Zhou Yuwen said.
"Great!"
Li Shiqi had initially planned to skip lunch, but since Zhou Yuwen was coming, she decided to treat him to a meal in the cafeteria.
During the eleven-day-long holiday, two of Li Shiqi’s dorm mates weren’t going home.
A higher education institution was indeed different; even during a holiday, the two of them were still able to settle down and study.
"Shiqi, are you going to the cafeteria for lunch?" Li Shiqi’s roommate asked her.
Li Shiqi shook her head, saying she would in a bit, as a high school friend was coming to see her.
"Is it that guy?"
Li Shiqi didn’t answer, but her face turned red.
Her roommate immediately started laughing, "So envious, you got a date."
"No, Li Shiqi replied, indeed blushing and lowering her head, "he’s not interested in me like that."
"But if he was, would you agree?"
They were still chatting when Li Shiqi’s phone rang again.
It was Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen said, "I’m here, come on down."
"So fast? Wait for me."
Li Shiqi hurriedly packed up and took out a box of unopened watermelon frost spray from the drawer.
She had bought it on the day she went out.
A month ago, Zhou Yuwen mentioned feeling a bit inflamed and didn’t eat some spicy hotpot, which Li Shiqi had quietly noted, intending to give it to him when they met last weekend, but it was delayed due to military training, so it had stayed in her drawer until now.
This meeting, Li Shiqi wanted to give it to Zhou Yuwen.
But when she went downstairs and saw Zhou Yuwen standing in front of a brand new white convertible, Li Shiqi’s expression froze for a moment.
She didn’t know the price of an M4, but only when Zhou Yuwen opened the car door and said, "Get in, I’ll explain on the way," did she come out of her daze with a "Oh."
"What’s that in your hand?" Zhou Yuwen noticed Li Shiqi was holding something.
"Nothing, nothing," Li Shiqi, flustered, hid the spray she was about to give Zhou Yuwen.
Li Shiqi, dressed in a red dress that day, just a typical college student outfit, felt a bit self-conscious as Zhou Yuwen helped her into the car, feeling like she was dirty and wanted to lay a handkerchief on the seat.
