I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

at the same time.

Chen Yansen left the examination room and walked downstairs.

He wasn't lying to Tao Jingwen; he was indeed taking final exams these past two days. With his current mental capacity, social science majors like journalism posed absolutely no challenge for him.

You can easily master a semester's worth of knowledge in just ten minutes.

Last year he didn't fail because of Tang Qingshan's help. This time it's different; he can get a perfect score based solely on his own ability.

In university final exams, especially for humanities majors, professors usually highlight key points, and the exam questions and answers are all in the textbooks, making it extremely difficult to fail.

Unless you're too lazy to memorize the key points, or you get caught cheating in the exam.

"Brother Sen, the exams are finally over! How about we go to the city this afternoon? Dinner, karaoke, and a hot spring – it's on me!"

As soon as I reached the first floor, I saw Song Yang leaning against a stone pillar in the teaching building, greeting me with a grin.

Wang Zhengqiang was standing to the side, holding an Orange C1 laptop and playing Temple Run. When he heard Song Yang say he was treating, he forgot about the game and chuckled, "Can we change 'bath' to 'foot bath'?"

"Sure, I'll record a short video tonight and send it to your girlfriend," Song Yang threatened with a smile.

Wang Zhengqiang's girlfriend is studying at a university in Yicheng. The two are high school classmates and she visited Xucheng once before.

At that time, Song Yang asked her to confirm whether it was Wang Zhengqiang who pursued her or she who pursued Wang Zhengqiang.

After all, Qiangzi often boasted to the group that he was a key player on the school's soccer team in high school, and that he had a dozen girls pursuing him, eventually choosing the one with the best figure.

Before Wang Zhengqiang's girlfriend could answer, Wang Zhengqiang hurriedly admitted that he had pursued her first, which drew teasing from Song Yang, Meng Xibo, and others.

But despite their playful banter, none of them exposed Wang Zhengqiang's true colors.

"Why did you add my girlfriend?" Wang Zhengqiang asked instinctively, his thought process quite peculiar.

"Tattling on me, huh?" Song Yang chuckled.

“Okay, no problem.” Chen Yansen nodded and readily agreed.

Winter break is just a few days away. Although both Pinbei and Orange Technology have annual meetings, there won't be a separate gathering for dormitory 8302.

The three of them stood at the intersection for a while and then saw Tang Zhenzhe, Xu Xingxing, Meng Xibo and Zhu Xiaopeng walking over side by side.

Song Yang took the initiative to greet him and told him about the afternoon's gathering.

"Class monitor, can I come along?" Xu Xingxing asked Tang Zhenzhe with a smile.

She knew that if she asked Chen Yansen, she would most likely be rejected, but it would be different if she asked Tang Zhenzhe.

"Uh, is that alright?" Tang Zhenzhe looked at the others, especially Chen Yansen.

He knew that Xu Xingxing's target was Chen Yansen, and since Chen Yansen had become his boss after he joined Orange Technology's brand department, he dared not make any rash decisions.

"It'll be more lively with more people," Chen Yansen said dismissively.

After saying that, he took out his phone and called Mengjie, asking her to meet him at the school gate.

"Brother Sen, did you call your wife? Wait, I need to make a call too," Song Yang asked, and after seeing Chen Yansen nod, he also took out his phone.

Tang Zhenzhe, Meng Xibo, and Zhu Xiaopeng exchanged a glance and couldn't help but curse, "You two are truly inhuman!"

Of the 8302 students, only the three of them are still single.

Generally speaking, there are only three reasons why a person might not find a partner in college: first, they are not proactive; second, they are not good-looking; and third, they think other people are not good-looking.

"Damn it! I want to make a call too!" Tang Zhenzhe cursed, walked to the flower bed, and started calling for people.

"Zhe-ge is in a relationship too?" Meng Xibo asked, her face full of questions.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it," Zhu Xiaopeng replied, shrugging his shoulders with a blank expression.

Ten minutes later, a dozen or so men and women stood at the east gate of the Void Academy.

Chen Yansen took Meng Jie's little hand and got into the Bentley Mulsanne next to them, with Xu Xingxing and Meng Xibo following behind.

Wang Zihao got into the driver's seat of the BMW 750, carrying Tang Zhenzhe, Su Meiling, and Zhu Xiaopeng, and drove towards Fengbozhuang in the city.

Song Yang took the car keys Chen Yansen gave him, got into the Aston Martin Rapide, and followed closely behind the Bentley with his girlfriend and Wang Zhengqiang in tow.

"Was that Chen Yansen just now?" Song Yang's girlfriend, Fu Yin, asked curiously.

There was no way around it; Chen Yansen's reputation in the virtual college had long surpassed that of Principal Tang Qingshan.

Freshmen may not know who the virtual school president is, but they have definitely heard of Chen Yansen.

He started his business at eighteen, became a billionaire at nineteen, and owned two companies valued at over 300 billion by twenty.

Including part-time customer service staff, more than 400 students in the virtual college are his employees.

When Fu Yin was pursuing Song Yang, he told her that he and Chen Yansen were roommates.

"Yes, that's right," Song Yang replied casually, gripping the steering wheel.

"He's even more handsome in person than in photos!" Fu Yin commented with a smile.

"What do you mean? Am I not handsome?" Song Yang frowned, a little jealous, and said with dissatisfaction.

"Of course you're the most handsome," Fu Yin said softly, her head held high.

Wang Zhengqiang, who was sitting in the back seat, coughed twice to indicate that there was still a living person in the car. He asked if they could avoid people.
"Qiangzi caught a cold?" Song Yang joked.

"When my girlfriend comes next time, I'll make sure to feed you two a dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection)," Wang Zhengqiang grumbled.

One was his boss, and the other was his boss's wife. Wang Zhengqiang's counterattack was weak and instead made the two of them laugh.

"Xu Xingxing and Su Meiling seem to be at odds. I don't know what Zhe-ge was thinking, why did he have to invite Secretary Su along? Sigh."

Thinking of this, Song Yang couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is here," Wang Zhengqiang said with a forced smile.

In the 10th Journalism class, many people knew that although Su Meiling and Xu Xingxing lived in the same dormitory, they never got along, and others thought that the two had incompatible personalities.

But everyone in 8302 knows that it's because they both pursued Chen Yansen. It's not a matter of personality clashes; they just disliked each other because they were vying for the boy they liked.

However, Chen Yansen announced his girlfriend early on, thus dashing their hopes.

When the group arrived at Fengbozhuang, they gave the restaurant manager quite a fright.

The average cost per person at their restaurant is just over 100 yuan.

The guests we usually entertain are college students or white-collar workers. It's rare to see a few guests driving BMWs or Mercedes-Benzes. Today, three luxury cars actually showed up.

The Bentley Mulsanne, the Aston Martin Rapide, and the BMW 750—none of these cars are priced below 200 million.

The restaurant manager glanced at the license plate and hurried over. A tall young man stepped out of the driver's seat of the Bentley.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Fengbozhuang."

The restaurant manager greeted him in a fawning manner.

In the past two years, Chen Yansen has become a household name in the virtual city thanks to FoxTao, Orange Technology and Pinbei, as well as his personal wealth of over 10 billion yuan.

Even if the restaurant manager doesn't know him personally, he can recognize his license plate number. Moreover, Chen Yansen has over 2000 million followers on Weibo, and each of his posts receives tens of thousands of reposts, likes, and comments. He also occasionally posts photos.

It's not surprising that the restaurant manager recognized him at a glance.

"Find me a larger private room, somewhere away from the main hall," Chen Yansen replied, instructing the other party.

“Okay, Mr. Chen, please follow me,” the restaurant manager immediately replied.

Fengbozhuang is a 'martial arts-themed restaurant' where the dishes are named after martial arts elements such as the Nine Yang Manual, Bone-Melting Palm, and Mighty Pill. The decor also tries its best to fit the ancient style, and the waiters wear cosplay costumes as waiters and walk around the hall.

After sitting down in the private room, each person ordered one or two dishes before finally handing the menus to the waiter.

After a brief introduction, everyone started chatting about interesting things that happened in college.

Chen Yansen took out his phone, opened the Kuaipao App, and switched the delivery address to Luzhou University Town in the upper left corner. Only then did the homepage show that he was within the service area.

He casually swiped through a few screens and found that the merchants offering milk tea, food, and flowers were quite comprehensive.

It's clear that Kou Zhen has decent business development and team management skills. The reason he didn't achieve much at Lashou.com was probably because his superiors didn't support him.

Then, he opened the Pinbei App, logged into his test account, and saw a new cartoon icon for Kuaipao on the first screen of the homepage.

Currently, only users with IP addresses in Luzhou can see this module.

Pinbei has over 2000 million daily active users, so Chen Yansen certainly wouldn't waste it. He sold this small display space to Kuaipao for 80 yuan per day.

In just three days after its launch, Kuaipao gained more than 100 million new customers, almost capturing all the young people in Luzhou. With the new customer subsidy program, Kuaipao's daily orders once exceeded 10.

The cost was that nearly 800 million yuan of the balance in the Kuaipao account disappeared quickly. At the current rate of development, the cost of acquiring new users every day is as high as 200 million yuan. In less than a week, the funds will be exhausted.

However, this was part of Chen Yansen's plan.

After lunch, everyone headed straight to the city's largest KTV. Song Yang paid for everything, and even chose a super-large luxury KTV room with two screens.

Chen Yansen sat down next to Meng Jie, and the two of them, like buddies, drank beer and rolled dice.

“I can do all of these!” Xu Xingxing picked out a song called “Bad Girl” and sang a few lines with great enthusiasm, but seeing that Chen Yansen had no reaction, she secretly felt unconvinced.

Su Meiling, sitting in the corner, took the beer that Tang Zhenzhe offered and sipped it. She had long since given up on Chen Yansen, but she still refused to accept Tang Zhenzhe.

She wasn't stupid. If she had known all along that this guy was flirting with other female students while pursuing her, that he wasn't focused on her, and that he was probably a scumbag.

Therefore, she only considered Tang Zhenzhe as a buddy.

"Brother Sen, what do you want to sing? I'll pick one for you!" Song Yang asked with a smile as he sat in front of the song selection station.

“《You Are Here, You Are Not》” Chen Yansen replied; this was the song he had chosen for Meng Jie.

After Wang Zhengqiang finished singing "I Will Love You Till I Die" with his off-key voice, the atmosphere in the private room gradually became lively.

After all, apart from Fu Li and Meng Jie, everyone else was in the same class and they were already quite familiar with each other.

the other side.

Luzhou, the headquarters of Kuaipao.

"Yesterday's external investment costs and new customer subsidies totaled 2,730,900, with a new customer increase of 342,000 and an order volume of 109,000."

The data manager reported each point in turn.

Kang Guodong glanced at Pei Yi, then looked at Kou Zhen and the CFO, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Such rapid development is something he never imagined.

With Chen Yansen's support, Kuaipao has indeed reached unprecedented heights.

“I think we can approach Mr. Chen and seek a second round of financing,” Pei Yi said first.

Exchanging equity for development is the first choice for most entrepreneurs.

Pei Yi didn't feel like he had betrayed Kang Guodong. In his opinion, even with their combined abilities, they wouldn't be able to reach 10 orders per day by the time Kuaipao went bankrupt.

"President Kang, President Pei, I have no objection to continuing financing, but we have a more important issue at the moment."

Kou Zhen said loudly.

"What's the problem?" Kang Guodong pressed.

"Where should we choose for the next city where Kuaipao will operate? We need to prepare the office, recruitment, training and logistics teams in advance."

Kou Zhen said in a serious tone.

He experienced the fierce competition among thousands of group-buying websites on Lashou.com, so the process of "opening up new markets" was not unfamiliar to him. He knew that every step he took would involve huge management challenges.

Upon hearing this, Kang Guodong frowned.

Previously, Kuai Pao's business scope was basically limited to the vicinity of the university town, but after catching the fast train of Senlian Capital, he gradually felt powerless in managing the entire company's business.

To put it bluntly, he lacks energy. He excels at development, but he finds it extremely difficult to coordinate affairs between various departments.

“Yanjing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, or Nanjing are all fine,” Pei Yi said.

“Shanghai is Ele.me’s home base,” Kang Guodong reminded him.

"Then let's go to Shanghai and crush Ele.me first!" Pei Yi said seriously, not like he was joking.

Ele.me has yet to secure funding; how can it compete with KuaiPao?

"I think it's feasible. Let's ask President Chen first. If the big boss agrees, we'll go to Shanghai after the New Year!"

Kou Zhen also thought Pei Yi's idea was good. Go straight to Ele.me's stronghold, kill the competitor, and then let Kuaishou come and divide up the big cake of food delivery.
This is different from group buying, where the competition is too fierce, while in the food delivery industry, there are only KuaiPao and Eleme.

The big boss?

Kang Guodong paused slightly, sighed inwardly, and nodded emphatically.

The next morning.

Kang Guodong, Pei Yi, Chen Yansen, and Gao Weilin held an online meeting. After a brief exchange, Senlian Capital will transfer 2 million yuan to Kuaipao's corporate account next week.

The cost was that the two's shareholding ratio shrank again, with Kang Guodong holding 4.2% and Pei Yi only holding 1.8%.

"By the way, Guodong, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. I'm planning to appoint Pei Yi as the CEO of Kuaipao. I certainly appreciate your R&D capabilities."

Chen Yansen got straight to the point.

He gave Kang Guodong a chance, but the other party was not up to par, and there was nothing he could do.

"President Chen, I...I accept." Kang Guodong gave a wry smile. He wanted to argue, but after seeing Pei Yi, he chose to give up.

"I'm leaving the technology department to you. I hope that Kuaipao's intelligent delivery system can be labeled 'intelligent' as soon as possible," Chen Yansen encouraged, then ended the video conference.

“Brother Dong, actually,” Pei Yi was about to explain, but Kang Guodong interrupted him: “Old Pei, perhaps President Chen is right, you are more suitable to be the CEO of Kuaipao than I am.”

Pei Yi remained silent and did not speak again.

He knew in his heart that no matter how magnanimous Kang Guodong was, a crack had already quietly appeared between them.
