Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 8 Negotiation
For the next two days, Chen Yan did nothing. He attended classes as usual, constantly accepting new WeChat friends and cleaning up those who had deleted him.

After a few days of development, he now has 15000 friends, accounting for about 7% of the entire university town.

Room 303 was filled with a uniquely cheerful atmosphere today, because tomorrow marks the start of the first weekend of university life.

They only have one long class in the morning today, after which they can directly begin their two-and-a-half-day holiday.

"Um... please remember to answer my question, I have to go out today."

After tidying himself up, Chen Yan said to his roommate.

"Going out again, third brother? I'm a guy with a girlfriend, but I'm not as busy as you."

Wang Risheng looked at Chen Yan, who was fixing his hair in front of the mirror, and said.

"I have no choice. I'm doing this so I can save up enough dowry to marry Teacher Jiang as soon as possible."

Chen Yan is just rambling.

"Third Brother, I'm telling you this: if you can win over Teacher Jiang, I'll perform a handstand while having diarrhea."

Zhang Feifan echoed.

"Wait, let me record this, then say it again."

"I'll say it 100 times, Third Brother. If you can win over Teacher Jiang, I'll perform a handstand while having diarrhea."

"It's a word."

……

Chen Yan took a taxi to a tutoring institution called Yangli Children's Education in Sanliting.

After getting off the bus, he discovered that the tutoring institution was still under renovation. Apart from the large, dark blue characters "Yangli Education" on the eaves, everything else was a bare shell.

At this moment, a short, bald man in his forties came out, wearing a pink shirt with the hem tucked into his trousers, revealing the gleaming Hermès belt logo.

Chen Yan walked up with a smile, handed over a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and said, "You must be the owner of this organization?"

"you are?"

The bald man took the cigarette, looked Chen Yan up and down, and asked.

"I am Chen Yan, the vice president of the student union of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology."

After speaking, Chen Yan took out his student ID and campus card.

When you're abroad, your identity is determined by yourself; there's no way around it. In China, when doing business, "strength" must come before ability.

In many business deals, both parties are unfamiliar with each other. In such cases, what if the other party wants to quickly assess whether you have the capability to handle such a large matter, but they don't have the extra time to gain a deeper understanding of you?

In order to reduce the cost of trial and error, he will infer your ability from your clothes and your car.

At this point, it is essential to subtly showcase one's economic strength through these means, such as a car worth millions or a watch worth tens of thousands, which in most cases speaks louder than a thousand words.

Chen Yan can't afford luxury cars and watches now, so he can only use his "status" to enhance his image. As for why he is the vice chairman?
Because the positive ones can be found on Baidu, while the negative ones generally don't get any attention...

Upon hearing that the young man in front of him was the vice president of the student union at a top university, the bald man's eyes lit up with curiosity: "What brings you here?"

"Here's the thing, boss. I saw online that you're recruiting college students for part-time jobs, and there seem to be quite a few. Luckily, I have some influence at school and know many capable classmates."

"I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you. I'll take care of all the part-time jobs here, so you won't have to call and interview people one by one, wasting your precious time."

Chen Yan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"My new school will be renovated soon and will open after the National Day holiday. I need a lot of part-time staff for promotion, as well as long-term teaching assistants. I estimate I'll need at least 50 people."

The bald man pondered for a moment, then gently exhaled a smoke ring and spoke slowly.

This means he's willing to continue the discussion; if he's not, the bald man will find an excuse to refuse.

Once both parties reach an agreement on the price and cooperation details, the deal will be finalized.

“Fifty people is no problem. I can get it done for you within a day,” Chen Yan replied confidently.

"If you can really bring 50 people to my place during the National Day holiday, that would save me a lot of trouble."

The bald man nodded in agreement.

"Boss, I saw on your website that you advertise part-time work for 200 yuan a day?"

"Not all part-time jobs pay 200 a day. Teaching assistants pay 200 a day, those who go out on the street to ask for parents' phone numbers pay 150 a day, and those who hand out flyers pay 100 a day."

The bald man casually tossed his cigarette butt on the ground and said with a grin.

This is in line with Chen Yan's expectations. Jobs advertised on recruitment websites in later generations with a monthly salary of 5000 to 15000 yuan may not actually pay even 5000 yuan once you go there.

Chen Yan didn't speak, his brows slightly furrowed, looking like someone heartbroken after being deceived by a girlfriend he'd been dating online for a long time, only to discover in person that she was a complete fraud. The bald man, observing his expression, thought to himself: "Kid, I'm just giving you a taste of the harsh realities of life. I'm still being considerate; why the disgusted look?"

After about two minutes of silence, Chen Yan spoke.

"Boss, give me an extra 20 yuan per person per day on top of that, and I'll pay their wages and provide after-sales service. If anyone quits halfway through, I'll immediately arrange for a replacement so as not to delay your progress."

"Hehehe, you're quite shrewd, aren't you? Trying to make money off your classmate's referral fee, huh? Fine, deal!"

The bald man smiled and extended his chubby right hand: "Money is no problem, but you must make sure the quality of the part-time staff is up to me!"

Chen Yan smiled and shook the bald man's hand: "That's for sure, boss."

"Don't call me boss anymore. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Wang. Do a good job. I need people on October 1st. Once we have a full team, I'll transfer some of the money to you in advance."

"Okay, Brother Wang, let's keep in touch by phone."

"Hehehe, keep up the good work, young man."

……

After leaving Yangli Education, Chen Yan went to several companies that needed part-time jobs, and reached agreements with two of them, which could be arranged immediately.

He was in a good mood after closing deals with three companies in one day, and even his steps were light and cheerful.

On her way back to school, Chen Yan passed by Jiang Zhixin's apartment and, in a great mood, went downstairs and bought a big bag of fruit.

Jiang was probably still at school, so he casually hung it on the doorknob of room 1801.

Oh shit.

I never imagined that someone who was surrounded by beautiful women in his past life would end up be doing this kind of "simp" behavior in this life.

While cursing himself, he still took a picture and sent it to Jiang Zhixin.

Chen Yingjun: [Photo] Teacher Jiang, the weather is getting colder, so I bought some mangoes and left them at your door.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Thank you, but is there any necessary connection between the weather getting cooler and eating mangoes? (Confused emoji)

Chen Yingjun: Because, in the midst of all this, I met you.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhi Xin: ? ? ?

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Chen Yan, your teacher hopes you can spend more time on your studies or participate in more clubs to develop yourself, instead of focusing your time and energy on me!
Chen Yingjun: Okay, teacher, then I'll put it on another little sister.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: ...

After flirting with Jiang Zhixin, Chen Yan went to buy some oranges and snacks to take back to the dorm to share with his flamboyant roommates.

……

Dormitory 303.

"My adopted sons, look what I've brought back for you!"

Chen Yan pushed open the door, placed a large bag of oranges and snacks on the table, and said.

"Wow, third brother is pretty good. He doesn't forget his brothers even when he's out. He's loyal."

Wang Risheng rolled over and jumped off his bed, starting to rummage for his favorite snacks.

"Third Brother, you really missed out by skipping class today," Zhang Feifan said as he walked over.

"What? Did the teacher give out money today?"

"Talking about money is too vulgar. We saw the school beauty, Jiang Muyun, in our large lecture today!"

Zhang Feifan pointed to his thick 600-degree lenses with his fingers and said excitedly, "According to my titanium alloy eyes, Jiang Muyun's looks can even be said to be on par with Teacher Jiang, but her figure is a level below."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Zhang Feifan chuckled lewdly, "Hehe, based on my observation and calculations, Teacher Jiang should be a D, while Jiang Muyun is at most between a B and a C."

"..."

"Brilliant!"

"Fanfan, it has to be you."

The three of them gave Zhang Feifan a thumbs up without prior arrangement.
