Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 37 Teacher Jiang, Soaked in a Jar of Jealousy
Room 308, female dormitory, Communication University of China.

Ruan Yusang returned to her dormitory, feeling the muddy forest after the rain, opened her wardrobe, blushed, and went to the bathroom to change into a pair of shorts.

"You naughty senior~"

Ruan Yusang muttered something under her breath.

After changing into clean underwear, she took out her phone—

She clicked on Chen Yan's profile picture and started typing, but soon deleted every word she had just typed.

Ruan Yusang probably felt that if she, as a girl, was too proactive, she would not be cherished by the other party in the end.

So she suppressed the urge to talk to Chen Yan and tried to shift her attention to the other fish in the pond.

On the way back with Chen Yan, she took some beautiful photos in the passenger seat and posted them on her WeChat Moments. Now, many people with adorable smiles have sent her WeChat messages.

Just now, while she was with Chen Yan, Ruan Yusang didn't dare to look at her phone at all, in case Chen Yan saw it.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, then irritably rubbed her hair.

More than a dozen boys sent me messages.

"Don't you have classes today, senior?"

"Yu Sang, who are you with? (covers face)"

"Where are we playing here? (laughing and crying)"

"Is the person driving your boyfriend? (laughing and crying)"

"Yu Sang, I have a Porsche Cayenne. Can I take you for a drive?"

……

"strangeness."

For some reason, Ruan Yusang couldn't muster any interest in the fish in the pond, even though some of the boys were quite handsome and came from well-off families...

……

The scene shifts to the other side—the 102 Startup Base.

"Regarding how to promote [Daily Part-Time Jobs] in Ningbo, I would like to hear your opinions first."

Chen Yan stood in front of a writing board and asked.

“I think we can replicate a campus beauty pageant. After all, this competition has already been successful in Hangzhou, and it will definitely take off in Ningbo as well,” Zhou Yi said.

Chen Yan shook his head: "Holding a campus beauty pageant in Ningbo will definitely be a double loss. We can't connect with enough local college students, so holding a competition of this scale won't make a splash. It'll just be a waste of the prize money."

"How about we follow your initial approach, boss, and use cheap used electric bikes as a gimmick to get them to add us on WeChat, and then guide the audience to our private domain for operation?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tie came up with a solution.

"This method can indeed be replicated."

Chen Yan nodded in agreement, "However, I used this method back then because the [Daily Part-Time Job] platform didn't exist yet. Now that there's a ready-made platform, asking them to add me on WeChat is a bit like 'taking off your pants to fart,' it's redundant."

Chen Yan cleared his throat and continued:

"In the mobile internet era, the most valuable things are time and market share. I'm prepared to lose money on this trip to Ningbo."

"Once you get there, recruit business development managers as soon as possible and take them to meet clients. I will put 50 flyer-distributing part-time jobs on the homepage of [Daily Jobs]. There are also many [Daily Jobs] users in Ningbo, so recruiting dozens of part-time workers shouldn't be difficult."

"Wang Tie, you're in charge of keeping an eye on the part-time workers' attitudes. Make sure every flyer reaches the local college students and increases the visibility of [Daily Part-Time Jobs]..."

As he finished speaking, Chen Yan's voice gradually rose in pitch:
"In short, this trip to Ningbo is one where you're going to endure hardship, using the most traditional methods to race against time, treating every day like a battle, understand?!"

The last sentence echoed in office 102, as resounding as a bell.

"understand!"

Wang Tie and Zhou Yi straightened their backs, their eyes revealing a firm determination.

……

After the meeting, Chen Yan went straight back to his dorm room, where all three of his roommates were.

As soon as he entered the room, he sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. Three pairs of eyes were fixed on him like searchlights.

"Ahem, um... why are you all staring at me like that?"

Chen Yan felt a little uneasy under the stare, and his steps involuntarily faltered.

Zhang Feifan was the first to strike. He jumped off the bed, walked up to Chen Yan, circled him, and scrutinized him like a criminal: "Third brother, confess honestly, how did you meet Ruan Yusang?"

"And what's the situation with that Mercedes?" Wang Risheng added.

Chen Yan knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Alright, alright, I'll lay it all out. I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was..."

"Third brother, stop rambling and get to the point!" Li Wenxin ruthlessly interrupted Chen Yan.

"I am the founder of [Daily Part-Time Jobs]".

This statement was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in 303.

Li Wenxin nearly dropped the milk tea in his hand, Zhang Feifan's mouth formed an "O" shape, and Wang Risheng's pen stopped in mid-air; time seemed to freeze at that moment.

……

Ten minutes later, the roommates in room 303 had gradually digested this unbelievable news.

Looking back and carefully considering Chen Yan's daily life and work, one realizes that everything was traceable.

After figuring it out, an indescribable sense of pride followed.

A faint, pretentious feeling slowly lingered in everyone's heart.

My roommate, with whom I spend every day, is actually the boss of [Daily Part-Time Job]! And also the initiator of the Campus Beauty Contest!
As his roommate and best friend, doesn't that give him something to brag about?
"Hey, Yan Yan, holy crap, do you know who organized the campus beauty pageant you participated in a few days ago?" Wang Risheng couldn't wait to share this "big scoop" with his girlfriend.

"Third Brother, is Ruan Yusang your girlfriend?" Zhang Feifan continued to gossip.

"No, that's not true. We only met yesterday. She probably likes me because I'm handsome," Chen Yan said narcissistically.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Third Brother, it has to be you. You can even win over a top-tier girl like Ruan Yusang."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm completely innocent with her..."

"Hey, could you talk to Ruan Yusang about having a social event with our dorm? I heard the girls in media studies are all pretty." Li Wenxin walked over and put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulder to discuss it.

Li Wenxin comes from a well-off family, and he is not envious at all of Chen Yan buying a car or starting a company.

But seeing Chen Yan and Ruan Yusang holding hands and hugging, he became really anxious and wanted to use Chen Yan as a connection to find himself a girlfriend from an arts school.

"Old Li's suggestion is good. Third Brother, you're eating so well now, you can't forget your brothers!" Zhang Feifan seconded.

"Okay, no problem."

In his previous life, Chen Yan had always had a good relationship with his roommates. Even after graduation, they agreed to get together once a year. Now that he had the opportunity to help them, Chen Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.

"By the way, I'll handle the networking, but don't spread the word yet about me being the founder of [Daily Part-Time Jobs]."

Chen Yan gave his instructions.

Zhang Feifan patted his chest and assured him, "No problem, we understand!"

"Huh? What do you guys know?"

"Third Brother, you're probably planning to wait until some clueless person looks down on you, and then suddenly reveal your identity and slap them in the face, right?"

"That's a really clever trick of pretending to be weak to catch a tiger."

"Uh..." Chen Yan was stunned. He really didn't expect Zhang Feifan to come up with such a reason. But it's good, it saves him the trouble of explaining.

Chen Yan silently lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and patted him on the shoulder: "You're the one who understands me best."

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Yan sat down to discuss the matchmaking event with Ruan Yusang when Jiang Zhixin sent him a message. Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: I heard you went to buy a car today?
Chen Yingjun: Yes, Teacher Jiang is really well-informed. (chuckles)

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: I only found out from the class group chat (smiles)
Chen Yingjun: Oh, oh.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Don't you have classes this morning? (Smiling)
Chen Yingjun: I don't have classes.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: No classes? Are you sure?
Chen Yingjun: Confirmed.

Chen Yan lies without even blinking.

Actually, he wasn't sure if he had classes in the morning, but he dared to give Jiang Zhixin such a confident answer.

Because university counselors are generally quite laid-back, rarely get involved in anything, and certainly don't have time to memorize course schedules.

Teacher Jiang was no exception; every time Chen Yan went to her office, she was playing Candy Crush.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: I looked at your class schedule, and you have classes in the morning, namely Advanced Mathematics and English, which have the highest failure rates!
Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: I could turn a blind eye to your skipping classes before because you were starting a business, but what about now? Buying a car is also a reason for skipping classes?

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: The final exams are next month. Are you confident you can pass?

Um?
Something seems off about Teacher Jiang today.

He speaks in a machine-gun-like, aggressive manner.

Everything was fine yesterday...

Chen Yan frankly said: Um... I'm not sure.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: So you still dare to skip class? I think I need to call your parents and tell them about your studies.

I rub!

If I heard correctly, is this a threat?
Teacher Jiang, what you're doing is very dangerous.

Believe it or not, I'll scumbag you!
Chen Yan is fearless and roguish when he's out in the world. But everything in the world has its counter, and the person he fears most is his own mother, He Juan.

This is a "psychological shadow" formed since childhood. When he was a child, he was naughty and made mistakes. Other mothers would just pretend to hit him, but He Juan would actually hit him with a feather duster.

However, He Juan has not hit Chen Yan since he went to high school, but the "conditioned reflex" formed since childhood is still there.

So when Jiang Zhixin mentioned Chen's mother, he could only temporarily behave himself and apologize.

Chen Yingjun: Teacher Jiang, let's talk this out. Don't call the parents over such a small matter. (Smiling)
Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Okay, but you have to promise me one thing.

Chen Yingjun: What's up?

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Take some time this weekend and bring your advanced mathematics and English textbooks to my apartment... no, to the library, and I'll give you some extra lessons.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Otherwise, I'm afraid your failure rate at the end of the semester will be too high, which will affect my performance and delay my evaluation for excellence.

Chen Yan couldn't help but curl his lip upon seeing this.

Honestly, if you want to see me, just say so. This is affecting your performance review...

So he typed a reply.

Chen Yingjun: Okay, then let's meet downstairs at the library at 10:00 AM on Saturday.

Chen Yan immediately set a time for the tutoring session, and then followed up by saying, "Teacher Jiang, I have a small request."

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: You say it.

Chen Yingjun: When you tutor me, can you wear business attire?
Chen Yan made a request that sounded a bit strange.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Business attire? What are you planning to do?

Chen Yingjun: Nothing much. It just feels more formal, which can improve learning efficiency.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Is there really such a saying? (Confused)
Jiang Zhixin still felt something was off, but considering they were in the library, she figured he wouldn't dare to act recklessly, so she gave an ambiguous answer.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Then I'll think about it and decide whether to wear it or not based on my mood.

Chen Yingjun: ojbk.

Chen Yan's lips curled up. If Teacher Jiang said that, it should be a sure thing.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: By the way, what's your relationship with the girl you held hands with today?

Harmful!
So, after all this time, you were waiting for me here.

Haiwang Chenyan finally figured out why Teacher Jiang was acting strangely today...

Chen Yingjun: Teacher Jiang, you know all this?

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: I'm not blind, aren't there photos in the class group?
Chen Yingjun: Oh, that's my cousin.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Cousin?

Chen Yingjun: Yes, if you don't believe me, call my parents.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Oh, okay, I thought you had a girlfriend. (smiles)

Chen Yingjun: How could that be? I don't have time for dating.

Chen Yan chuckled and skipped the topic, then chatted with Jiang Zhixin about random things for a while before ending the conversation under the pretext of having dinner.

"Phew~" Chen Yan took a deep breath. "Women are such a hassle."

After saying that, he opened his chat window with Ruan Yusang.

Chen Yingjun: Are you there?

A popular saying on the internet goes: "If someone says 'Are you there?', they're bound to be a clown."

It really depends on the person. As long as the other person likes you, just ask if they're there and you'll win them over.

Ruan Yusang replied instantly.

Xiao Ruan next door: What's wrong, senior?

Chen Yingjun: Um, my roommate wants to invite everyone in your dorm to dinner so you can get to know each other.

Neighbor Ruan: Will you come?
Chen Yingjun: Of course, all four of us guys in the dorm will come.

Neighbor Ruan: Sure, no problem. When?
Upon hearing that Chen Yan was also there, Ruan Yusang made a decision for her roommates without hesitation.

Chen Yingjun: Wait a moment, let me ask.

"Wenxin, Ruan Yusang said there are no problems in their dorm and asked us when we're going to eat?" Chen Yan turned to look at Li Wenxin.

"Really? Then how about tomorrow night?" Li Wenxin said, suppressing his excitement.

Zhang Feifan and Wang Risheng, who were standing to the side, were also very excited. Although Wang Risheng already had a girlfriend, he was still looking forward to the social event tomorrow night. Even if he didn't have a chance, he would still be happy to get to know her better!

Chen Yan gave an OK sign and continued to ask Ruan Yusang, "Is tomorrow night okay?"

Xiao Ruan from next door: I'll ask my roommates if they're free.

Ten minutes later, Ruan Yusang sent a message.

Xiao Ruan next door: No problem, they're willing!

Chen Yingjun: Oh, right, honey, there's something I need to tell you.
Neighbor Ruan: What's up? (Questioning)
Chen Yingjun: Actually, my name is Chen Yan. I'm a freshman, two years younger than you. (covers face)

Chen Yan realized that he couldn't hide this from the social gathering tomorrow, so it would be better to just be honest and not let her think that he was intentionally lying to her.

Xiao Ruan next door: Why didn't you say that yesterday? (angry) I've been calling you senior for so long!

Chen Yingjun: You misunderstood it yourself yesterday, so I was too lazy to explain.

Neighbor Ruan: You bad guy~
