Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 110 The Best Ground for Building Social Media Platforms
After Chen Cheng transferred the money to Lin Zhenbang, he immediately called Lin Zhenbang and asked him to check the receipt.

Lin Zhenbang was surprised that Chen Cheng had paid the balance in advance. After checking the receipt, he quickly replied excitedly, "Brother, I've received the money. From now on, Jietong Taxi Company is yours!"

Feeling a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, he asked Chen Cheng curiously, "Brother Chen, what are your plans next? Are you going to sell these forty cars now, or keep letting the drivers keep them?"

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Brother, please tell them for me to bring the car back at the end of the month. I need to prepare to get a new car, so starting next month, these old cars will no longer be on the road."

Lin Zhenbang's forty cars were all old, and the rental income from renting them to drivers was lower than the market average, so Chen Cheng didn't want to bother with it.

Moreover, the taxi market is not very peaceful these days, and there are often reports of crimes against drivers. Chen Cheng's goal is to keep his main income in his pocket, and it is best to eliminate all unexpected risks before that.

More importantly, speculators from Wenzhou will enter the market next month.

Once they come in, they'll definitely target the big taxi companies first. Forty taxis aren't many, and they might not even catch their eye. But if all forty of them are parked there and not on the road, it'll likely cause a stir in the industry, making it easier for Wenzhou speculators to notice them.

When Lin Zhenbang heard that he was going to change cars next month, he couldn't help but praise him, "Young man, you really have the ability. Changing all forty cars will cost at least five million."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I'm out of money. I need to wait for my family to free up the funds. Otherwise, I'll strike while the iron is hot and buy a new car right away."

Lin Zhenbang asked, "Should I have the driver return the car at the end of the month and then wait for your notification to rent a new car, or should we have them find other cars to drive first?"

Chen Cheng said, "Let them find other cars to drive. Don't delay their ability to make money. I'm not even sure when my funds will arrive in October."

"That's it."

Lin Zhenbang suggested, "Why don't you let them drive it first? When you get a new car, just have them drive it back to help out, and then you can pay the difference based on the price of the new car. That way, your car won't be idle and you won't miss out on making money."

"Never mind, bro."

Chen Cheng said, "I'm just paving the way for my family. I don't have the time or energy to coordinate with each one individually. I'll have them all drive back by the 30th."

"Row."

Lin Zhenbang was a little confused when he saw that he was not making money, but he still readily said, "I will take care of this for you. Don't forget the remaining 20,000 yuan, brother."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll bring the cash over on the night of the 30th."

Lin Zhenbang laughed and said, "Okay! I'll tell the drivers to bring the car back on the evening of the 30th, and I'll pick it up myself then."

Chen Cheng thanked him, exchanged a few polite words, and then hung up the phone.

Everything is settled. We're just waiting for the business license to be issued tomorrow, then everything will be settled.

Chen Cheng and Yan Ruoxuan left the bank together and went straight back to school.

His roommates had all gone to the internet cafe that afternoon, so he could go back and focus on working on the school's intranet.

Yan Ruoxuan had nothing to do in the afternoon and originally wanted Chen Cheng to take her to an internet cafe to broaden her horizons, but she didn't expect him to want to go back to the dormitory.

However, she knew that Chen Cheng had important matters to attend to, so she did not reveal her true thoughts.
-
At 6 p.m., Chen Cheng arrived at the school gate and met Wu Haoyang, who had become much tanned.

As soon as the two met, Wu Haoyang poured out his grievances to him, saying that the three weeks of military training had really worn him out.

Chen Cheng smiled and comforted him, "You only get to do military training once in your life. You won't have the chance to do it again."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, Little Deer is waiting for us."

Wu Haoyang nodded and said, "Chen Cheng, let's split the bill for dinner, so let's not let Lu Xiaohua pay."

Chen Cheng casually said, "It's my treat, so don't worry about it."

Wu Haoyang said, "That's not appropriate. I don't have much money left, and I need to save a few dozen yuan for train tickets. Otherwise, I would have treated you."

Chen Cheng asked him, "Do you need money? Do you need me to lend you some?"

"Need not."

Wu Haoyang said, "I still have more than 180 yuan left. Today is the 23rd, enough to last until the end of the month."

"Okay, just say the word if you need money." Chen Cheng nodded slightly and waved to flag down a car.

Wu Haoyang kept his head down and tried to crawl to the back, but Chen Cheng grabbed him: "Hey, hey, where are you going?"

Wu Haoyang turned around and looked at him: "Let's sit in the back, okay? We'll let School Beauty Lu sit in the front later, right?"

Chen Cheng said irritably, "You sit in the front, and Xiao Lu and I will sit in the back later."

Wu Haoyang snapped out of his daze and laughed, "You said you didn't want to pursue her."

As he spoke, he consciously got into the passenger seat.

Chen Cheng muttered to himself, "Whether I want to pursue her or not is another matter, but if you two had to choose one to sit next to, I would definitely choose her. Xiao Lu always smells sweet and looks beautiful, and sitting next to her would be a pleasure."

When the car arrived at Renji Medical College, Lu Youyou, wearing a white ankle-length dress and a light blue denim jacket, was standing by the roadside, craning her neck to look around.

The car stopped in front of her, and Chen Cheng, who was sitting behind the driver, leaned over, opened the car door, and waved to her, saying, "Xiao Lu, get in the car quickly."

When Lu Youyou saw her, her face lit up with joy. She sat down beside her and greeted Wu Haoyang, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Wu Haoyang turned around and looked at her, smiling as he said, "It's been three weeks since I last saw you, and School Beauty Lu has become even more beautiful."

After saying that, he asked Chen Cheng, "Chen Cheng, don't you think so?"

Chen Cheng nodded: "Yes, yes."

Actually, he and Lu Youyou met quite often, but Wu Haoyang didn't know that.

Lu Youyou felt a little embarrassed, so she changed the subject and asked them, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

Chen Cheng asked directly, "Are crayfish okay?" Lu Youyou's face lit up with joy, and she subconsciously asked, "Is it the one from last time..."

"Yes, right."

Chen Cheng interrupted, "It's the one you said was delicious last time, let's go try it."

Lu Youyou realized what was happening and said with a smile, "Then let's go, his food is especially delicious."

Wu Haoyang didn't notice anything unusual and casually said, "I'm fine with whatever you two eat."

Chen Cheng told him, "Have a couple of drinks tonight, you're happy today."

"That is."

Wu Haoyang immediately agreed: "We've finally escaped this misery, we absolutely have to have a couple of drinks to celebrate!"

Arriving at the lobster restaurant in Dacheng Night Market, the three found a seat. Lu Youyou called the waiter to order, then asked the other two, "Are you both going back for National Day? If so, you'll need to buy tickets tomorrow!"

"Back."

They both nodded at the same time.

Lu Youyou then said, "Let's go back together then. I'll go to the station to buy tickets tomorrow at noon, three tickets in total."

These days, train tickets aren't registered with real names, so buying tickets for others is quite convenient.

However, Chen Cheng said, "How can we let a girl like you buy tickets for us? I'll go."

"I'm going, I'm going!"

Wu Haoyang quickly interjected, "Chen Cheng bought me the ticket when I came here, and he's treating me to dinner today. I'd really feel bad if I didn't spend some money."

Chen Cheng understood his personality, so he said, "Then you should buy three tickets for the slow train. Are there any temporary trains running again during the National Day holiday?"

"some!"

Wu Haoyang immediately said, "I heard that an extra bus will be added on the 30th, and it will also depart in the morning. You two don't need to worry about it. I'll go buy it tomorrow at noon and let Chen Cheng know when I've bought it."

Lu Youyou felt a little embarrassed to ask Wu Haoyang to buy her tickets, so she said, "Then I'll give you the money."

"Need not."

Chen Cheng waved his hand at her and said, "Consider it Haoyang treating us to a nice meal. You can treat us to another meal another day, right?"

Lu Youyou knew that Chen Cheng was afraid that Wu Haoyang would feel embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "That's fine then, it's settled then."

After saying that, Lu Youyou asked them, "So, when are you coming back?"

Without even thinking, Wu Haoyang said, "It'll definitely be the 7th. I'll stay home for a couple more days."

Chen Cheng said, "I plan to come back on the fourth."

Both of them were somewhat surprised. Lu Youyou asked him, "Why did you come back on the fourth?"

Chen Cheng frankly replied, "I have a lot to do."

Lu Youyou immediately understood. Chen Cheng had borrowed money to buy a computer to build a website and then borrowed money to buy a taxi company. He must have a lot of things to do.

Wu Haoyang looked puzzled: "What are you so busy with during the National Day holiday?"

Chen Cheng said, "I created a website and wanted to see if it would go live on National Day."

Wu Haoyang asked in surprise, "You have a website? What kind of website is it?"

"A dating website for college students."

Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Once the website goes live, help me get your classmates to register as users."

Wu Haoyang asked him, "When did you learn how to make websites? Military training just ended, and you haven't even started school yet!"

Chen Cheng casually said, "I learned it myself. It's super easy. Just find a set of open-source code online, modify it a bit, and it's yours. It's similar to the plaster dolls sold outside the school gate when I was a kid. You just buy them and paint them yourself."

"Oh……"

Wu Haoyang nodded as if he understood, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you promote it at our school!"

Lu Youyou also said, "Once your website goes live, I'll help you promote it at school!"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Xiao Lu, your promotion is the most useful. A school beauty like you, I don't know how many people want to add you on QQ. When the time comes, you can register an account on my website and let your classmates follow you there. I estimate that it can bring me at least 10,000 registered users!"

"That's utter nonsense!"

Lu Youyou muttered shyly, "I'm not some school beauty..."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Once my website goes live and has a certain user base, I'll hold a poll on the website to see if you're the most beautiful girl at Huazhong University of Science and Technology!"

In his past life, Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook became an instant hit among American college students by using activities similar to college beauty pageants.

When he was young, he watched a lot of American comedies around 2000. In those films, American college students were obsessed with heterosexual relationships and extremely gossipy. If anyone kissed anyone else, the whole school would probably gossip about it. This kind of gossipy atmosphere was definitely the best breeding ground for social media platforms.

Of course, domestic college students are relatively more reserved, but that's about it. Sometimes everyone is secretly passionate and needs a platform to express and release their true feelings.

Therefore, he was certain that once a similar campus beauty pageant was held on campus, it would definitely generate phenomenal buzz among college students!
