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

Chapter 32, 540,000
Sixty people isn't a lot, but it's not a small number either. The small restaurant was packed with people, especially since they were all eighteen or nineteen-year-olds, high school students from the same place and in the same grade. They could easily find people they knew in common after just a few words, and then they quickly started chatting enthusiastically.

The small restaurant was as bustling as a downtown area.

Among them are not only young people who come to work, but also some parents who came along because they were worried about their children finding jobs.

On the one hand, they were worried about whether the job was reliable, and on the other hand, they wanted to teach their children that when you're out in the world, you must know how to navigate social situations.

Such a good job was all found for you by that 'Brother Zhou' guy, you really should thank him properly.

For this purpose, they even brought two baskets of eggs, or other agricultural products, from home.

The children weren't ignorant of social etiquette; they just felt that the things their parents brought were too meager and embarrassing.

However, the parents said that it was a small gift but a big sentiment.

"But no one else took it either!"

"Others are others, and you are you. If you show your face in front of 'Brother Zhou' more often and help him with some work, he will be more likely to value you!" Parents always patiently teach their children the few social experiences they have.

Zhou Ziyang never expected that simply hiring workers would result in receiving several baskets of eggs and duck eggs, in addition to milk and bananas.

This left Zhou Ziyang somewhat amused and exasperated. He wanted to say that he didn't need these things, and that his uncles and aunts could simply take them home and eat them themselves.

However, these elders were very stubborn and insisted that Zhou Ziyang accept it.

Even some uncles and aunts in their forties and fifties from the countryside didn't know how to address Zhou Ziyang. They only heard the people around them calling him Brother Zhou, and after hesitating for a while, they simply followed suit and called him Brother Zhou.

This startled Zhou Ziyang, who quickly said, "No, Uncle, please don't call me that. I'm the same age as your son."

"You can just call me Xiao Zhou!"

No matter what they said, they insisted that Zhou Ziyang accept the gifts. Li Dongfeng and several other friends who were familiar with Zhou Ziyang also tried to persuade him to accept the gifts.

Zhou Ziyang said helplessly, "Alright then."

Actually, Zhou Ziyang couldn't carry that many eggs and milk by himself.

In particular, some people even give away apples and bananas.

I could never eat so much.

Since these elders had come, Zhou Ziyang wasn't stingy with the cost of a meal. He simply treated them to a meal as well, saying that after the meal, he would send a car to take them for a tour of the factory, just to put his mind at ease.

"This is too much trouble," the adults said, sounding apprehensive.

Zhou Ziyang, however, said it was no trouble at all; it was just a matter of sending another car.

"After you've finished watching, I'll send a car to pick you up."

The elders were even more impressed by Zhou Ziyang's abilities, but in reality, all Zhou Ziyang had to do was make a phone call to the factory.

They had set a target of fifty people for Zhou Ziyang, but he recruited eighty for him. They were overjoyed.

The meal was quite lively, and Li Dongfeng, who loved to show off, was immediately spurred on by the sight of five or six tables of young people eating and drinking heartily. He slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Brothers! Let me say a few words!"

"I know more or less everyone here!"

"We also know how hard it is to find a job."

As it turns out, my brother found us such a great job.

"Should we thank him?!"

"Yes!"

Eighteen or nineteen is a lively time, especially for these kids. They might have been lying at home doing nothing just a few days ago.

Now, however, their future looks bright, so they are naturally happy.

"Shall we toast Brother Zhou with a drink?!" Li Dongfeng continued to egg him on.

"it is good!"

"Respect, Brother Zhou!"

"Respect, Brother Zhou!"

Now everyone knew Zhou Ziyang. After Li Dongfeng finished speaking, the brothers he had taken in followed suit.

They all admired this kind of chivalrous spirit, and the current scene was reminiscent of a gathering of heroes in the Water Margin. One by one, they stood up and, regardless of anything else, began to flatter Zhou Ziyang.

And what's with all this talk about me never having submitted to anyone in my life? I, Brother Zhou, am completely convinced!

"Come on! Brother Zhou, let me toast you!"

Zhou Ziyang thought to himself that he just wanted to become a labor foreman to earn some pocket money, but how did it end up feeling like he was being given a royal robe?

But they were so enthusiastic that Zhou Ziyang could only drink a couple of glasses. Then, seeing that someone else wanted to toast him, Zhou Ziyang simply stood up and said, "Okay, let's not drink anymore. I have to go to the factory this afternoon."

Zhou Ziyang made a brief statement, essentially saying that the factory's wages were indeed high, but he also hoped that everyone could work diligently and try to avoid conflicts with others.

Since I introduced you all here, we're all brothers, so we should naturally take care of each other in the future. "If you encounter any grievances or unfair treatment at the factory, you can come to me, and I can help you resolve them. I just hope you can all work hard and stay down-to-earth."

Zhou Ziyang didn't say anything particularly inspiring, but they agreed with flushed faces.

Li Dongfeng stretched his neck and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou! I'm keeping an eye on things. You've found us such good jobs. If anyone is dishonest or ungrateful, don't blame me, Li Dongfeng, for turning my back on them!"

"Yes! We won't agree!"

"No!"

Li Dongfeng was the strongest among them. He had been burly since childhood, a natural tiger-like man, and had more than a dozen friends around him. Now, grateful to Zhou Ziyang for arranging jobs for them, they had consciously banded together with Zhou Ziyang.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Ziyang felt at ease.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, two minibuses came to the factory and picked everyone up.

When Li Jianhong heard that Zhou Ziyang had brought fifty more short-term workers to the factory, he was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. He waited for Zhou Ziyang at the factory gate.

Zhou Ziyang asked Li Dongfeng to arrange for the new workers to settle in the factory area, and then exchanged a few polite words with Li Jianhong.

Zhou Ziyang said with some concern, "The original plan was to introduce fifty people, but now they're introducing eighty. Isn't that a bit too many?"
"Not at all, not at all! I really wish there were more!"

Mr. Li smiled brighter than the sun. He had sent someone to inquire about Zhou Ziyang yesterday, but Zhou Ziyang was currently a commoner and they couldn't find out anything about him.

I overheard some whispers from the group of people Zhou Ziyang sent off yesterday, saying that Zhou Ziyang was the son of an official.

But none of that matters anymore. What matters is that Zhou Ziyang can continuously bring him workers.

He said that no electronics factory complained about having too many workers.

"I have enough workers at my factory here, and I also have factories in Nanjing and Kunshan!"

"Brother, if you have any people, just send them over here. I'll take as many as you can!" Li Jianhong said affectionately, patting Zhou Ziyang on the shoulder.

Zhou Ziyang nodded and said, "Okay, then after the college entrance examination, I'll send another batch of people over to you."

"I want you to transfer my first month's salary to me in advance, because I need to prepare it in advance."

"These are all minor matters," Li Jianhong said, somewhat carried away by his success. He felt that with Zhou Ziyang's speed, he would never lack workers in the future, so he simply gave Zhou Ziyang a month's wages.

It is calculated on an eight-hour day basis, with overtime pay paid separately.

The total is 537,600 yuan. Brother Zhou has really done his best for our factory.

I'll round it up for you, 540,000.

"I'll have the finance department transfer the money to your account this afternoon."

Zhou Ziyang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go check on the factory dormitory."

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll make the arrangements for tonight."

Zhou Ziyang politely declined Li Jianhong's invitation to dinner, went to check on the dormitory, and then distributed all the milk and fruit that his parents had given him to them. He gave the eggs and other things to Li Jianhong, saying that he would ask the kitchen to cook them for the employees.

When Li Jianhong saw that they were free-range eggs, he was happy, saying that these were eggs he couldn't buy in the market.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziyang said, "Then I'll give them all to you."

"Then I thank you, brother!" Li Jianhong grinned.

It was 3 p.m., after the first class had already finished, when Zhou Ziyang finally returned to the classroom.

Zhou Ziyang hasn't shown his face at school since the results came out.

When he returned, many classmates were surprised, and some even shouted, "Zhou Ziyang is back!?"

These past two days, Xia Wei has been unable to help but look at Zhou Ziyang's seat. Seeing that Zhou Ziyang's seat is empty, she feels a strange sense of loss.

Now, looking up, I see Zhou Ziyang walking in.

The two looked at each other.

Xia Wei inexplicably laughed, her head lowered, seemingly a little shy.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziyang had no interest in playing these sentimental games with her; he was still thinking about when the 540,000 yuan would arrive in his account.

But Zhou Ziyang sat back down in his seat with a blank expression.

Soon, a classmate next to him craned his neck and asked, "Zhou Ziyang, where have you been these past two days?"

"Zhou Ziyang, do you know that you got the highest score in the whole school?"

Upon hearing this, someone nearby couldn't help but chuckle.

"How could Zhou Ziyang not know?"
