Chapter 111 0108 [Hey rival, do you play Three Kingdoms Kill?]

Chen Guiliang skipped class again on Friday afternoon.

He invited Senior Sister Ao to his company to see if he could persuade her to join him.

As for the 14 counselors of the Yuanpei Class, including senior student Long Xiang, they already have their own life plans: to stay at the university for postgraduate studies or go abroad, and they don't want to get involved in business for the time being.

For those who want to enter politics, there is a clear path: pursue a master's degree – stay at the university – be seconded to the Communist Youth League – serve at the grassroots level – steadily rise through the ranks.

"This place is nice, but the office is too cramped," Ao Yanchen commented.

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "Once you join, you'll be the head manager. By the end of this year at the latest, the company will be able to move into the Science Park Building."

Ao Yanchen is no naive girl: "Head butler my foot. Your place is full of technical staff, I can't command them at all. If I come here, I'll just be a handyman, doing all the dirty and hard work. I'll probably be in charge of contacting the renovation and purchasing office supplies before we move into the building."

"The capable should do more work, right? What founding member isn't tired? If you do a good job, we'll give you stock options before the venture capital comes in," Chen Guiliang continued to paint a rosy picture.

Ao Yanchen asked, "Not a single finance staff member?"

“You can take on this role temporarily as well,” Chen Guiliang said.

Ao Yanzhen was speechless: "Shouldn't there be a distinction between accountants and cashiers?"

"Isn't this a sign of trust?"

Chen Guiliang said, "I will be the general ledger accountant, and you will be the subsidiary ledger accountant and cashier."

Ao Yanzhen finally understood that, aside from her programming duties, she would fill in for anyone who needed help. She might even temporarily take on customer service duties when they were overwhelmed.

Simultaneously serving as the purchasing agent, accountant, and cashier for two companies might be considered a sign of trust. However, given the current state of the companies, even something as trivial as buying an overpriced desk would be easily noticeable.

Don't expect any kickbacks or kickbacks.

"Capitalists!" Ao Yanzhen gritted his teeth.

Chen Guiliang extended his right hand: "Let's shake hands. We're brothers, we don't stand on ceremony!"

Ao Yanchen finally reached out her hand, but she refused to lose face: "If I'm unhappy at work, I'll leave anytime."

"If you leave halfway through, you'll automatically forfeit your options," Chen Guiliang reminded him with a grin.

"Who cares about your stock options?"

Even so, she was still very much looking forward to it.

Previously, she helped promote the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" at Tsinghua University and Beihang University. At first, she didn't earn much money, but now she can see some sales commissions. Moreover, the tricycle used for temporary restocking has been replaced by a van for regular restocking.

Today, Ao Yanzhen visited Renren.com again and felt that Chen Guiliang's company had potential.

The more tired she is as the head housekeeper now, the more influential she will be in the company in the future.

Chen Guiliang was also very happy. After he persuaded Senior Sister Ao to join the group, he no longer had to worry about many miscellaneous matters.

Let me tell you about my work.

"hurry up."

Twenty minutes later, Senior Sister Ao was already ready to hit someone.

She also had to serve as the deputy product manager for the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" and Xiaonei.com, and even personally lead part-time staff to do on-the-ground promotion.

As expected, she was tasked with handling the renovation and procurement for the new office. This weekend she had to contact the renovation team, find an interior designer, compare renovation prices, material prices, office supply prices…

After handing over all the tasks, Chen Guiliang left immediately.

Ao Yanchen was making work plans in a small notebook when she suddenly looked up and asked, "Is there something between him and me that we haven't clarified?"

Guo Feng, his hands on the keyboard and staring at the screen, said, "You forgot to talk about salary."

"I rely on!"

Senior Sister Ao slapped her thigh hard.

……

Chen Guiliang strolled to the East Gate and stood leisurely by the roadside waiting for the bus.

It's a really nice thing that someone is willing to share the work.

But did I forget something?
Oh well, I can't remember right now, it's probably nothing important anyway.

With a rare moment of leisure, Chen Guiliang felt at peace, finally returning to the state he was in right after his rebirth.

Take a bus, transfer to the subway at Wudaokou, transfer again at Xizhimen, and then take a bus to the Capital University of Economics and Business.

I have to transfer several times because it's Friday afternoon, and taking a taxi the whole way would definitely result in traffic jams.

He dozed off the whole way and was almost fully asleep when he got off the bus.

By the time we arrived at the gate of the Capital University of Economics and Business, it was already getting dark.

Chen Guiliang had come to escort Bian Guanyue to school last time. He wandered around the campus based on his memory, and when he couldn't remember, he would ask a student for directions.

……

More and more students gathered in front of the girls' dormitory building.

Several boys were arranging candles, forming a heart shape under the dim light from the building in front of it as night fell.

One of the boys was carrying a guitar and dressed in leather jacket and pants, exuding a strong artistic vibe.

"Who is this person?"

"do not know."

"He's in a band, and he's the lead singer. His name is... what's it again?"

"I know him, he's a second-year finance major. His name is Peng Haoran, and his family is very wealthy. I heard that the sidecar he usually drives is custom-made, costing tens of thousands of yuan, and it has a Beijing A license plate!"

"How do you know so much?"

"Their band is famous; they even performed at the freshman welcome party."

"..."

As more onlookers gathered in front of the dormitory building, the noise grew louder and louder.

Inside the dormitory building, girls from each room gradually peeked out of their windows to watch the excitement.

Bian Guanyue was sending a text message: "Has it arrived yet?" "Almost."

"That senior is setting up candles in front of the dormitory building, and it looks like he's going to sing. Please don't get into a fight."

"Okay, stay in your dorm and don't go downstairs to argue with him."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Inside the dormitory, four roommates were peering out the window.

Bian Guanyue sat cross-legged on the bed, sending text messages.

There was also a girl browsing BBS while holding an Apple laptop.

This girl's name is Lin Ruonan, and she comes from the southern coastal region. Actually, her childhood name was Lin Ruonan, but her parents only agreed to change her name after her younger brother was born.

Lin Ruonan's family is quite wealthy, and she compares herself to Bian Guanyue in every way.

She discovered that Bian Guanyue's Apple laptop was more expensive, so she also switched to an Apple laptop, and even chose a more expensive model.

Bian Guanyue was prettier than her, so she practiced her makeup skills diligently every day and chose more beautiful designer clothes.

They just want to be number one—number one in the dorm, number one in the class.

After being dressed up like this, some of the boys in the class even thought that Lin Ruonan could be voted the most beautiful girl in the department.

"Xiao Bian, come and see!"

The room leader leaned out the window and shouted, "They've already lit the candles, and there's an 'I love you' inside the heart!"

Another roommate said, "If it were me, I would have said yes. Senior Peng is very handsome and extremely talented."

"Yeah, just say yes!" another roommate urged.

Bian Guanyue said, "I have a boyfriend."

Lin Ruonan sneered: "Heh."

"What are you 'hehe'ing about?" Lin Ruonan's roommate, who slept in the moonlit bunk at the border, couldn't stand Lin Ruonan.

Lin Ruonan said, "This is called playing hard to get. The more you hold back, the more men will flock to you. If you're as foolish as you are and just agree, men won't cherish you. Especially those in bands, they change their minds very quickly, they'll sleep with you a few times and then throw you away."

"No way, this Senior Brother Peng is really devoted to love."

"I asked around among the senior students, and this Senior Brother Peng is infatuated with everyone. But his infatuation has an expiration date; once it expires, it's gone. But he's a Casanova, and the girlfriends he dumped don't really resent him. It's often the ex-girlfriends and current girlfriends fighting over him."

"so smart?"

"Lin Ruonan, you don't also like Senior Brother Peng, and you're only saying bad things about him because you want to steal his boyfriend, do you?"

"I like this kind of man? Do you think I'm as stupid as you guys?"

"Who are you calling stupid?"

"That's right, watch your mouth!"

"..."

Lin Ruonan frequently makes sarcastic remarks in the dormitory, and has almost offended all her roommates.

Bian Guanyue looked at Lin Ruonan with a puzzled expression, wondering why this person was reminding her to be careful of scumbags.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Ruonan asked.

Bian Guanyue smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Lin Ruonan put down her notebook, squeezed to the window to look out, and saw that all the candles were lit and people were plugging in the electric guitar's amplifier. She said disdainfully in her hometown dialect, "Crazy!"

……

Today, Peng Haoran will sing "Cinderella," a song he always sings when he's pursuing girls.

With his handsome looks, beautiful singing voice, and generous spending, he has always been successful at picking up girls.

This freshman girl is a bit difficult to win over; I've been pursuing her for over a month with absolutely no progress.

This further fueled his fighting spirit!
Peng Haoran nodded to his bandmates, who immediately took their positions.

Just then, a boy carrying a backpack came over and said, "Excuse me."

Peng Haoran was about to start singing and playing his instrument when he was inexplicably interrupted, which annoyed him: "What are you doing?"

Chen Guiliang smiled broadly and forced a handshake with him: "I came all the way from Peking University because I heard that there's a really awesome band at the Capital University of Economics and Business."

Did you come here because you admire it from Peking University?

Peng Haoran immediately stopped being angry; this was his die-hard fan.

"I'm not sure if I've got the right person. Which band are you from?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Pang Ho-yin said, "We are the Soul Hunters Band."

“Then that’s it, the Soul Hunters I’ve been looking for,” Chen Guiliang praised sincerely. “The band’s name sounds awesome, your music will definitely capture people’s souls!”

Peng Haoran said proudly, "I came up with the band name. You're quick to understand; you grasped the deeper meaning behind it right away. Are you also in a band? Or are you one of my fans from another school?"

“I’m an entrepreneur and a businessman,” Chen Guiliang said.

"Huh?" Peng Haoran was a little confused.

Chen Guiliang put down his schoolbag and took out a set of Three Kingdoms Kill: "This is my product, friend, would you like to buy a set?"

Peng Haoran asked, "Are you... in sales?"

Chen Guiliang showed his Peking University student ID and handed over his business card: "I'm not trying to sell you anything, but I think your band is really awesome, and they perfectly match the vibe of Three Kingdoms Kill players. So I couldn't help but recommend you."

After a long silence, Peng Haoran finally managed to utter a single word: "Get out!"

"Don't swear if you're not buying. Even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly."

Chen Guiliang could only put away the Three Kingdoms card game, sling his backpack back on, and shout towards the girls' dormitory building: "Guan Guan, come down for dinner!"
