Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 9 My First Income After Rebirth

Around 7 p.m., it was just when everyone had finished dinner and was idling around in the dorm.

Chen Yan posted the following update on his WeChat Moments.

"Dear students, the national chain restaurant Zhiweiguan has asked our school's Youth League Committee to help them recruit part-time staff due to a surge in customers on weekends. The Xiasha branch needs 5 people, the Xihu branch needs 20 people, and the Gongshu branch needs 10 people..."

"Long-term cooperation is possible, with a daily wage of 100. Students who are available can DM me to sign up."

In fact, Chen Yan's price was 120 yuan per person per day. With a total of 60 part-time waiters, the net profit per day was 1200 yuan, and they could earn 2400 yuan over the weekend.

It sounds simple, but it's actually a very difficult thing. Everyone is different, and each person has their own personality and problems.

If you've ever been a leader in a company, you'll understand that even managing a team of only 7-8 people is a huge challenge.

Some people who are well-off drive to work in brand-new BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, and Audis, and they don't care about you, the team leader who earns 10,000 yuan a month.

Some people become seasoned veterans in the workplace, saying to you "Yes, yes, the team leader is right" to your face, but behind your back they will only call you an idiot: You're just an employee, wouldn't it be better to just slack off?

Fortunately, this is only a part-time job, so employers generally have lower expectations.

Chen Yan didn't plan to implement detailed management. Since there was no labor contract, if someone didn't work well, he would just deduct their salary and let them go.

If you don't do it, plenty of others will. Do you think my 15000 friends are just for show?
However, he underestimated the volume of inquiries in the early stages. It seemed that everyone could throw out a bunch of questions, such as working hours, location, whether there is a car to pick up and drop off, who pays the salary, and so on.

Asking for a business license is relatively normal; some people even request a video chat to prove they aren't scammers...

In short, all sorts of questions came in, and as more and more people started asking, even asking if I wanted to date...

By the time Chen Yan finalized the list of 60 part-time staff, it was almost midnight.

"Huh~Finally done."

Chen Yan let out a long sigh, stretched, and prepared to take a hot shower to relax.

After taking a shower, Chen Yan lay on his bed thinking about his work arrangements. He listened to his roommates playing League of Legends and making all sorts of "national treasures" noises. Perhaps because he was too tired, he fell asleep without realizing it.

The next day.

The first rays of morning sunlight quietly fell, turning the sky a soft, light blue, like a huge, clear gemstone.

When Chen Yan woke up, he found that his roommates were still fast asleep. He quietly climbed out of bed and started washing up. After a quick wash, he left the dormitory building.

On weekends at university, students usually sleep in late, so even though it's already 8:30, there are hardly any people on the streets.

Chen Yan arrived at the cafeteria, ordered a bowl of soy milk and a basket of pan-fried buns, and then took out his phone to reply to messages.

Actually, there wasn't much to it; it was just about helping students who couldn't find the place find their way and giving positive feedback to students who arrived early.

Once the work officially begins, you won't need to keep staring at your phone anymore; there will be a supervisor to provide job training.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as a conflict between a part-time employee and a customer, Chen Yan needs to arrive at the scene as soon as possible to mediate or even provide compensation.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong on the first day. At 7:30 p.m., Chen Yan received a payment of 7200 yuan in his Alipay account on time.

Looking at the numbers in my Alipay account, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. My first money after being reborn, though not much, was at least a start.

All beginnings are hard.

Chen Yan figured that most of the part-time workers should be getting off work soon, so he started transferring money to each of the Alipay accounts listed on the contact list.

After all the money was transferred, there was only 1200 yuan left in Alipay. At this point, I received many messages of thanks on WeChat.

"I've received my wages, thank you." "The money's in my account. The supervisor is very nice to us; he even treated us to milk tea, hehe. See you tomorrow!"

"Thank you, senior. My salary for today has arrived."

……

Chen Yan selected a few high-quality feedback messages, took screenshots, and also posted a screenshot of his 6000 yuan salary payment on his WeChat Moments.

Caption: Today's salary has been paid.

The moment this post was published on WeChat Moments, it immediately triggered a huge reaction, and Chen Yan's several WeChat messages were bombarded with messages almost simultaneously.

Students who were initially skeptical or hesitant are now eager to try, since college students' time is the least valuable thing, and 100 yuan could be their living expenses for 3 days or the cost of a date with their girlfriend.

This is similar to the micro-businesses of later generations. You initially don't believe them at all, but you can't resist their daily posts on WeChat Moments that entice you.

Although most screenshots of WeChat Moments are photoshopped, there are always some people who will fall for it.

Moreover, this was in 2013, the third year since WeChat was launched.

If you're ruthless enough, you can make money incredibly fast. Even if you get reported, at most they'll say you're engaging in false advertising, and you'll just have to pay some compensation and that's it.

Just like that top internet celebrity in later years, even if they achieved sales of tens of billions, they were found to have engaged in false advertising, causing a huge uproar and even appearing on CCTV. In the end, they just lost a small amount of money and moved on.

In six months or a year, once everyone has forgotten about this, they can come out and make big money selling products again.

Chen Yan was overwhelmed by the flood of messages and couldn't keep up, so he posted another announcement on his WeChat Moments:

[Part-time positions are full this week. Please look forward to the National Day holiday next week, during which many positions will be released.]

……

The next morning at 8 o'clock, Chen Yan had already woken up and habitually took out his phone to check messages.

It was discovered that two people had requested leave; one said they were not feeling well, and the other said they had an urgent family matter and couldn't go.

"Damn it, you clearly just couldn't get up and wanted to sleep in, why didn't you say your mom was about to give birth and you needed to come home right away?"

Chen Yan cursed, but immediately posted on his WeChat Moments to recruit people: Zhiweiguan is temporarily short of 2 part-time positions, contact me quickly if you are available.

Don't underestimate the power of 15000 people's private traffic. Although it was 8 a.m., he filled two vacant positions in less than 10 minutes.

Apart from a very few individuals being late or leaving early, there were no major problems that day, given the generally high level of civility among contemporary university students.

When Chen Yan received the payment at 8 p.m., he immediately paid the part-time workers their wages and then posted the same message on his WeChat Moments as the night before.

After posting this on his WeChat Moments, Chen Yan's prestige among these college students increased even more, and they almost forgot why they had become friends in the first place.

Chen Yan also found that he started receiving friend requests again.

The fission reaction has begun!

This is probably because students in their WeChat Moments recommended Chen Yan's business card to their roommates or classmates.

After agreeing to each of them, Chen Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

"The foundation has been laid, and now it's time to build the building."
