Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 183 Su Ya's Help on the Entrepreneurial Journey

When Li Chumei saw Zhou Ziyang again, it was indeed quite awkward, because the last time the two met was a month ago, and Zhou Ziyang had deleted Li Chumei from his contacts at that time.

At first, Li Chumei didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the school is neither very big nor very small, and the two of them are still two academic years apart, so they wouldn't normally see each other.

Even if you see them, it probably won't be a big deal.

Li Chumei isn't the kind of person who can't let go. At most, she might have some unpleasantness on the day, but she'll forget about it the next day and treat it like a stranger.

But ever since that day, all I've heard about is Zhou Ziyang.

In terms of wealth, Zhou Ziyang might not be as wealthy as Li Chumei and Xu Yiyang's families at this time, but in terms of influence, Zhou Ziyang is extremely popular now. Several TV stations have been inviting Zhou Ziyang to sing, and shopping malls and various performances all want to invite Zhou Ziyang to perform.

Wang Rouxin spends every day in her dorm collecting information about Zhou Ziyang, acting like a lovesick girl. She stares blankly at Zhou Ziyang singing in videos, and chuckles to herself, saying, "I knew he would become famous!"
One of her roommates said that Wang Rouxin didn't act like a senior at all; she was just a pure fangirl of Zhou Ziyang.

Wang Rouxin, however, said matter-of-factly, "So what? Who told my Xiao Zhou to be so tall, handsome, and talented? He's the number one fangirl."

Hearing Wang Rouxin's words, the girls laughed and joked that, given Wang Rouxin's current state, she would be eager to climb into Zhou Ziyang's bed if he just beckoned.

Wang Rouxin blushed after being told that, and chased after her roommate to hit her, saying that her roommate was annoying.

Li Chumei would definitely not participate in such jokes. She didn't have the nerve to make fun of someone who had already deleted her from her contacts.

In Wang Rouxin's view, however, this was Li Chumei's most righteous act.

So I usually talk to Li Chumei about everything.

For example: "Chu Mei, do you think Zhou Ziyang will really become a big star if things continue like this?"

"Hey, Chumei, Zhou Ziyang has been so busy lately, he hardly talks to me. Have you talked to him? Let me see."

Wang Rouxin was unaware that Zhou Ziyang had deleted Li Chumei from his contacts. She thought that only two people in their dorm knew Zhou Ziyang: herself, Wang Rouxin, and Li Chumei.

Even Li Chumei and Zhou Ziyang had a better relationship than she did.

So she definitely had to ask Li Chumei, and even hoped that Li Chumei could help bring them together again.

Li Chumei, however, was unwilling to tell her the fact that Zhou Ziyang had deleted her, and simply said perfunctorily, "What do I usually talk about with him?"

"You can chat about school stuff when you have time. By the way, you've become the vice president of the student council, right? You can tell him about any school events and ask him to come and participate."

At the start of this semester, the student union appointed a new vice president, and Li Chumei, as the head of the organization department, deserved the position.

Li Chumei found this amusing and said, "What do you take the student council for?"

"The student union is not a place for you to abuse your power for personal gain and hold activities there. Is this like King You of Zhou playing with the feudal lords by lighting the beacon fires?"

Wang Rouxin thought to herself, "It's not that exaggerated."

"It's just an event, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Li Chumei pouted, indicating that she didn't want to talk about these topics with Wang Rouxin.

Wang Rouxin tentatively asked, "You really haven't been chatting with Zhou Ziyang lately?"

"What do we have to talk about?" Li Chumei said with an aloof expression.

"Then let me see," Wang Rouxin said.

"?"

"Let me see your phone."

"I think you're really crazy."

Li Chumei ultimately didn't show her phone to Wang Rouxin. After all, being blocked on WeChat was just too embarrassing. Come to think of it, this was the first time Li Chumei had ever been blocked by someone.

I saw Zhou Ziyang again in Su Ya's office.

Li Chumei was somewhat lost in thought.

She felt that Zhou Ziyang had become more elegant and refined compared to a month ago, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Su Ya made many phone calls to Zhou Ziyang in October.

Ask Zhou Ziyang what he's been busy with lately.

"I've gone to your class to look for you several times but I haven't been able to find you."

Zhou Ziyang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and said that he was currently participating in activities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Event? What event?"

So Zhou Ziyang recounted the whole story.

Su Yawei's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, until she finally felt relieved.

She knew Zhou Ziyang was popular, but she didn't expect him to be this popular, earning 300,000 yuan for just one event.
Su Ya couldn't help but praise Ziyang while fiddling with the little gadgets on the table, "Ziyang, you're getting better and better."

“My annual salary isn’t even 300,000, but you made that much just by singing a song.”

"How about we switch?" Zhou Ziyang thought to himself, "You're really good at bragging. You only talk about salary, why don't you mention housing provident fund, housing subsidies and all kinds of benefits?"

“Go away,” Su Yahao said softly, her teeth gleaming.

Zhou Ziyang chuckled softly.

Su Ya asked Zhou Ziyang when he would be back.

Zhou Ziyang said the earliest would be the end of the month.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Aunt Su?"

"Didn't you tell me about a few things before?"

"what?"

When Su Ya suddenly mentioned the word "reflection," Zhou Ziyang didn't react until Su Ya explained that Jinling University is a prestigious institution of higher learning, and that his part-time work was somewhat inappropriate.

Then Suya went back and looked into it, and felt that she could work in the tutoring market.

It just so happened that a group of her friends heard that Su Ya was working at Jinling University, so they thought of asking Su Ya to find them some reliable tutors.

But how could a woman like Suya, who seems so detached from worldly affairs, possibly do something like that?

Zhou Ziyang's human resources company, however, is quite a good fit for this.

He then asked Zhou Ziyang if he was interested.

Zhou Ziyang initially wanted to refuse, saying, "You only have a few friends."

Since you want to start a business and develop the market, you certainly can't rely on just a few friends to build up the market.

Suya also indicated that she understood.

People say that everything is difficult at the beginning; if you don't start, you'll never achieve anything.

But once you take the first step, there will definitely be a second and a third.

"Even if we fail, at least we tried," Su Ya said to Zhou Ziyang.

Zhou Ziyang remembered that Lin Siyao seemed to have asked him about part-time work a few days ago, so he said, "Okay, I'll give it a try. By the way, Aunt Su, how much is the salary for this part-time job?"

"I remember the market price in Jinling is between 300 and 500. Our school is a well-known institution, so it can't be too low. Let's charge 300 per class!"

Su Ya clearly didn't understand any of this; she was just talking. Zhou Ziyang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He said, "Aunt Su, that's not how you put it. Our school is indeed quite good, but it's not a professional school. If you charge like this, no one will come."

"So how much do you think should be charged?"

"Well, I think 120 per class is the highest I can go."

"This is way too cheap," Su Ya said without even thinking.

Knowledge is priceless; how can it be so cheap?

"Ah."

Zhou Ziyang knew that Su Ya was trying to understand her friends' economic situation, but she knew that economic ability alone was not enough to develop the market.

Zhou Ziyang told Su Ya that this was already considered high in the student tutoring market.

"Aunt Su, if you really want to get into the tutoring market, then do as I say."

Su Ya didn't really understand these things, but she was good at judging people. She could tell that Zhou Ziyang was the kind of person who could get things done and could be considered her top general. Su Ya even thought that Zhou Ziyang was more reliable than several of her mentors.

So she didn't say anything, only that she would do as you said.

The second thing was Zhou Ziyang talking about the milk tea shop.

Su Ya discussed it with the school leaders, and they realized that the school leaders would not have agreed if it were someone else.

However, because Zhou Ziyang has been so popular recently, and Su Ya praised him, the school leaders thought the "Nanjing University Milk Tea" plan was feasible and worth a try.

However, it is impossible for Zhou Ziyang to buy the land.

They could sign a lease agreement with Zhou Ziyang in the name of the school, leasing a piece of land to Zhou Ziyang for a term of thirty years, but it could only be used for entrepreneurial needs. In addition, Zhou Ziyang would need to pay a deposit of 200,000 yuan first, and the rent would be deducted from the 200,000 yuan gradually.

Su Ya explained to Zhou Ziyang that the 200,000 yuan was actually the rent for the land. The rent for 30 years was only 200,000 yuan, which was actually a favor given to Zhou Ziyang by the school.

To be honest, the bubble tea shop plan was just something Zhou Ziyang came up with on a whim.

But as Su Ya said, this plan is indeed in my best interest. Leasing a piece of commercial land in Nanjing University for 200,000 yuan for 30 years is definitely a sure thing.

In addition, it's not good for Li Caiyu to stay idle at home all the time, so opening this milk tea shop can be considered as giving Li Caiyu something to do.

So Zhou Ziyang agreed.

I'll take this opportunity to go back to school and get things settled.

At this moment, Su Ya sat upright in front of the solid wood desk, wearing a light purple business suit skirt, with a delicate and fair face, and a pair of frameless glasses on her nose.

Her skirt wasn't actually short, but when she sat down, it naturally rode up a little, revealing a section of her thigh, which was covered by flesh-colored stockings and she was wearing a pair of black high heels with red soles.

Su Ya was very happy to see Zhou Ziyang finally arrive, and then said to Li Chumei next to her, "That's all for today, I'll come back to you another day."

"Hmm?" Li Chumei asked, puzzled. What could Su Ya and Zhou Ziyang possibly have to do with each other?

But then Su Ya took a file bag from the pile of documents next to the table and said, "This contract has been out for a long time, just waiting for your signature. Such a great deal, no one else can get it."

"That's because I'm famous."

Logically speaking, Li Chumei should have left at this point.

However, out of curiosity about what Zhou Ziyang and Su Ya were going to talk about, she paused for a moment.

Fortunately, Su Ya was somewhat wary when she took out the documents, noticing that Li Chumei not only hadn't left but also wanted to see what the documents were.

Su Ya's fair and delicate hands stopped halfway through taking out the documents.

He pushed up his glasses again, looking with interest at Li Chumei, who had no intention of leaving.

Li Chumei followed Su Ya's small hand until she saw Su Ya's delicate face.

But she seemed to be smiling in a half-smile.

Li Chumei then realized that she had been presumptuous.

Quickly lower your head and leave.

Zhou Ziyang noticed the subtle details between the two, and he found it amusing to see Li Chumei's embarrassed expression.

After Li Chumei left, Su Ya took out the documents and said, "This Li Chumei has never been so reckless before."

Zhou Ziyang said, "It's because Aunt Su is so beautiful that anyone who sees her would act rashly."

"When did you become so sarcastic?"

After several exchanges, Zhou Ziyang and Su Ya became quite familiar with each other. Zhou Ziyang smiled, took the document and looked at it. The lease contract, the landmark of the leased land, the area, everything was clearly marked.

Zhou Ziyang discovered that this piece of land was quite large, located in front of the stadium.

Currently, it's just a small green area; if you want to renovate it, you might have to tear it down and rebuild it.

“It’s impossible to build a building, and there’s no cost-effectiveness involved. It’s possible to make it into a structure.”

Su Ya, being a professional, had already thought of this when she was helping Zhou Ziyang with the planning.

Building structures without brick walls results in shorter construction periods and lower costs.

After reading the document, Zhou Ziyang nodded, signed his name, and said, "I almost forgot, Aunt Su, you studied architecture, so the design of my milk tea shop is all up to you."

"You're quite the businessman, hiring me for design. My design fees are quite high, can you afford them?"

Su Ya and Zhou Ziyang seemed quite relaxed together. Su Ya leaned forward, and her beautiful legs in stockings couldn't help but cross under the table.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Do you expect your own students to pay you?"

"You definitely can't afford the money, I want something else."

"Huh? What do you want?"

Zhou Ziyang looked at himself.

Su Ya was amused by Zhou Ziyang's action and asked him what he was looking at.

“I want you to write a song for me too.” Su Ya held up one index finger.

"Huh?" This was something Zhou Ziyang hadn't expected.

Su Ya, however, smiled knowingly and asked, "What's wrong, Nanjing University's talented student?"

"Writing songs is not easy for you."

"I do the design for you, and you write the song for me. Isn't that fair?" Given Su Ya's status in the architecture circle, it is indeed fair.

However, Zhou Ziyang said with difficulty, "The key is that I'm writing a song for you, Aunt Su?"

What type of article should I write?
Family, friendship?
Su Ya hadn't expected this. She had actually thought about designing the place when she was helping Zhou Ziyang rent the land, but Su Ya certainly wouldn't do designing for no reason. She just had a sudden inspiration to ask Zhou Ziyang to write a song for her, and she felt that this wouldn't be a problem.

But they forgot that songwriting also requires a theme.

This kind of kinship and friendship is definitely impossible.

The theme of respecting teachers and valuing their teachings is so fake.

"Besides, Aunt Su, all the songs I write are about youth and love. If I suddenly wrote a song for you, people who didn't know better would think we were having a teacher-student relationship."

"Nonsense," Su Ya couldn't hold back any longer. She glared at Zhou Ziyang, her almond-shaped eyes slightly wide, which was quite cute.

Zhou Ziyang smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't this just telling the truth?"
