Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 124 Auspicious Start! Let's Make Money This Year!
The Volkswagen arrived in Hangzhou in the evening.

After parking his car downstairs at the dormitory, Chen Yan went to the cafeteria for dinner.

There are many students from ethnic minorities in the university. They have their own traditional festivals, so they don't celebrate the Spring Festival.

To accommodate the dietary needs of these students, the school specially reserved a small window in the cafeteria.

Chen Yan walked into the cafeteria and immediately spotted the only window that was still open.

I went up to the restaurant, looked at the dishes, and ordered a braised pork belly and stir-fried mushrooms and greens, plus a bowl of rice, which made for a simple dinner.

After the meal, he strolled leisurely back to dormitory 303.

As soon as I inserted the key into the lock, turned the handle, and pushed open the dormitory door, an indescribable smell wafted out.

It was a peculiar smell, a mixture of the rotten smell of food left in the trash can and a faint musty odor emanating from some unknown corner.

Chen Yan subconsciously wrinkled his nose, waved his hand in front of him, and stepped into the house.

He sighed helplessly, put down his bag, opened the window to ventilate the room, and then picked up a mop to clean the dormitory properly.

After cleaning the dormitory, Chen Yan planned to jog five laps around the track before coming back to shower and go to sleep.

After all, he's going to be a man who takes on multiple opponents at once, so his stamina has to be up to par!

A sensible and considerate girl will pant a couple of times to accommodate her boyfriend's feelings.

Chen Yan didn't want the girls to act against their conscience; he hoped that every cheer they gave was heartfelt!
The playground was shrouded in night, with lights twinkling like stars.

A boy wearing a simple sweatshirt and cargo pants is running around the playground.

After running five laps, Chen Yan was drenched in sweat and his legs were a little sore, but his face was filled with a satisfied expression.

"Hehe, the duration has been increased by 3 seconds."

After returning to his empty dorm room, Chen Yan first took a hot shower in the bathroom.

After taking a shower, he climbed into bed, said goodnight to Jiang Zhixin and Ruan Yusang, and then collapsed onto the bed.

Perhaps because running had exhausted him, he felt sleepy as soon as his head hit the pillow, and soon his even breathing filled the quiet dormitory.

The next day.

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

The first day of hard work in the new year has begun!

9:00 AM, 102 Startup Base.

All of Daily Tech's Hangzhou employees are back at work. Oh, and there's a new face too—Hu Xiaoling, the daughter of our neighbor, Aunt Wang.

Hu Xiaoling is not ugly, but she is not particularly beautiful either; she has a delicate, demure charm.

She is rather introverted and doesn't talk much.

But... these kinds of girls are usually honest and reliable, making them the perfect choice for marriage partners.

Of course, this applies to ordinary people.

There are four programmers, one graphic designer, one accountant, five customer service representatives including Hu Xiaoling, and three business development managers.

A total of 14 people stood in a line in front of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan stood at the front, wearing a red scarf around his neck, a symbol of celebration.

"Cough cough."

Mr. Chen coughed once, "Let's begin."

Standing at the front of the line was Kong Zhenbang, who walked forward with a big smile: "Boss, Happy New Year, and best wishes for a prosperous start to the year!"

Chen Yan handed over a red envelope: "In the new year, I hope you will continue to work hard and shine, and earn more money for me."

Kong Zhenbang's smile froze.

No, this sounds so awkward...

The second person to receive a red envelope was Ruan Shaohua.

Ruan Shaohua: "Boss, Happy New Year! Wishing you a prosperous start to the new year! Here's your red envelope."

Chen Yan handed over another red envelope: "Well, good luck. I hope you can achieve outstanding results this year so I can let you replace Kong Zhenbang." Kong Zhenbang: ...

Ruan Shaohua: ...

It seems like the boss has become completely abstract after the New Year...

The third is Zheng Jia.

Zheng Jia smiled sweetly and said, "Boss, Happy New Year! Double the red envelope!"

Chen Yan handed over the red envelope: "Okay, don't let me catch you watching anime at work again. If you get caught, it'll be a 200 yuan fine."

Zheng Jia's face darkened...

The fourth is the company's oldest employee – customer service supervisor Zhu Lijuan.

Zhu Lijuan smiled gently, a smile unique to young women: "Boss, Happy New Year! I wish you great fortune this year!"

Chen Yan: "Work hard, the boss pays more than my husband."

Zhu Lijuan blushed for a moment.

……

After distributing red envelopes to everyone in turn, Chen Yan walked to the door, raised his arms, and shouted:

"Family members, please return to your workstations one by one to welcome boundless wealth."

"This year! Our goal is to make money!"

That's right, Chen Yan is under a lot of pressure right now.

The main reason is that he has already had substantial relationships with both Ruan Yusang and Jiang Zhixin.

Although he usually hides it very well, as the old saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet eventually.

If the truth comes out, he has absolutely no ability to salvage any relationship right now.

Moreover, public opinion will continue to criticize him.

What would people say?

"This guy is a real scumbag. He's so young and already two-timing other people. I really don't know how his parents raised him."

"It's unbelievable! Both of these beauties must have been blind to be with you, and you still cheated on them?"

"Who do you think you are? Trying to be like those rich guys and keeping mistresses? Look at yourself, driving a beat-up Volkswagen, and you still have the nerve to cheat on your partner."

"Disgusting. Cherish life and stay away from scumbags."

……

But, then again.

If Chen Yan were a real billionaire at this moment.

I'm talking about the real deal, not just paper wealth like company valuations, but real assets worth hundreds of millions.

Then public opinion will be completely opposite.

"Sigh~ He just made a mistake that every man in the world would make. I think it's understandable."

"Which rich man doesn't have mistresses, the fourth, or the fifth? I think Mr. Chen has only dated two. I'm already pretty good."

"Yeah, it's no wonder. If I had that much money, I would have spent it much more extravagantly than him."

"Exactly! Countless women want to get into his bed, and he just got cheated on. What's the big deal? If you don't want him, hurry up and give way to another sister!"

……

Actually, Chen Yan's mental resilience is not bad, but... anyone who has experienced cyberbullying should know.

The power of public opinion is terrifying. Chen Yan himself may not take it seriously, but if it gets back to Old Chen and Empress Dowager He, they might really have a heart attack from anger.

So, the goal for 2014 is to make a lot of money!
