I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

"So what are you planning to do? Is it that OuTuOu housekeeping platform you mentioned before?"

Kang Zhengyang gave a wry smile. "Look, I don't even understand what you're talking about."

Shen Kang smiled, knowing that he had convinced Kang Zhengyang.

"No one is born knowing everything; everything can be learned. O2O, which stands for online to offline, can be understood as moving real-world products and services online to sell. What I want to do is move housekeeping services online to sell..."

Shen Kang spoke, and Kang Zhengyang listened, gaining a basic understanding of what they were doing. Eventually, they discussed salary and benefits.

"...In the initial stage, I will give you a base salary of 5000, plus some performance targets and performance bonuses. As for social insurance and housing fund, if you decide to resign from the school after two months and work here full-time, you will naturally receive those as well. As the company develops, the subsequent benefits will naturally continue to improve."

Kang Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat.

He's a junior teacher, not a homeroom teacher and doesn't teach senior high school students. Without social security or other benefits, he only earns about 2400 yuan a month. This is double what he just got! Even if it's just a summer job, it's worth it. You can earn 10,000 yuan in two months!

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Kang Zhengyang finally agreed, but then felt a little guilty and added beforehand, "Don't worry, teachers have their pride too. If I really can't help you, I can forgo the salary."

"That puts my mind at ease. Welcome, Professor Kang!"

After Kang Zhengyang's involvement was finalized, Shen Kang thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher Kang, I overheard you on the phone for so long earlier, didn't your spouse come to work today?"

"She's off today." Kang Zhengyang was a little puzzled, wondering why Shen Kang was asking this.

"To celebrate your joining us, Professor Kang, I'll buy some groceries and we'll celebrate together at your house for lunch today."

Faced with Shen Kang's ostentatious display today, Kang Zhengyang felt a little inferior about his own shabby rented room and declined several times. However, Shen Kang was adamant, so he had no choice but to agree and gave Shen Kang his address.

So the convoy headed towards Kang Zhengyang's house. Along the way, Shen Kang bought a lot of cooked food and wine. There was so much stuff that one person couldn't carry it all.

Kang Zhengyang's rented house was located in a village-like area on the northeast side of the High-tech Zone, filled with narrow alleys. The convoy could have driven in, but it wasn't necessary, so Shen Kang had them stop on the main road and then asked Kang Zhengyang to call his wife to come out and help him with some things.

Kang Zhengyang did as instructed and then stood by the roadside to wait.

Soon, a woman emerged from the residential area. She was quite pretty, around twenty years old, but dressed very simply and without much makeup, except for a perm.

Shen Kang sat in the car and saw from afar that the woman's expression was initially somewhat impatient, but as she got closer and saw the convoy of cars on the side of the road and Kang Zhengyang standing beside her, she became suspicious and slowed down.

"My wife is Gu Qing," Kang Zhengyang introduced to Shen Kang briefly.

Seeing the woman walk to the car, Shen Kang finally got out of the Bentley and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you to come over. But I have a little problem; I can't carry things by hand or shoulder, so I'll have to trouble you to help me with these things."

Gu Qing's eyes were still filled with surprise and doubt, but she still managed a smile and said repeatedly, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all." In her heart, she thought to herself, "This young man has such a big attitude. Judging from his entourage, he must be a super rich person! How could Zheng Yang know someone like this?"

Shen Kang asked the driver, Xiao Yang, to open the trunk, handed all the items to Kang Zhengyang and his wife, and then told Xiao Yang and the others to find a place to park.

He followed Kang Zhengyang and his wife into the residential area in front of them and headed towards their home.

Kang Zhengyang and his wife carried groceries and held wine, while Shen Kang walked leisurely beside them with his hands empty, looking quite content.

Along the way, he briefly explained his collaboration with Kang Zhengyang, which made Gu Qing's eyes light up.

When they arrived at Kang Zhengyang's house, Gu Qing was incredibly hospitable.

"Zhengyang, you keep Mr. Shen company while he drinks. I'll go buy some more groceries; we can't just eat cooked food all the time!"

Gu Qing went inside, put down her things, and ran off to buy groceries.

Shen Kang followed Kang Zhengyang into the house.

The rented room was small, with only one bedroom at first glance, along with a cramped kitchen and bathroom. The entire building and decor were clearly products of the last century, with one wall covered in yellowed newspapers.

Kang Zhengyang silently pulled over a folding table, unfolded it, then brought over two small plastic stools. He went to the kitchen, found a plate, poured out all the cooked dishes, and placed them on the table. Finally, he opened a bottle of baijiu that Shen Kang had bought and poured a glass for both Shen Kang and himself.

"Thank you, Shen Kang. I'll finish this one, you can drink as you like." Kang Zhengyang downed the glass in one gulp, his throat burning, but his heart was warm.

Now, how could he not see why Shen Kang insisted on coming to his house?

With Shen Kang's move, his family will have at least two months of peace.

"You're too kind. I didn't know where to eat either, but this place is quite nice." Shen Kang also drank a glass with him.

Kang Zhengyang was a general he had his eye on, but if this general's home front was in turmoil and he was constantly on edge, how could he do his job well? So, as his leader, he naturally had to help Kang Zhengyang resolve his troubles, also for his own benefit.

This meal took more than an hour.

Gu Qing was quite efficient; she bought groceries, cooked, and even managed to whip up two hot dishes for Shen Kang to taste. The food was quite good.

After Shen Kang left, Gu Qing tidied the table while happily grumbling, "Zhengyang, Boss Shen has taken a liking to you, you'd better seize this opportunity and work hard! I thought you were amazing back in school, but you insisted on becoming a teacher, saying it was a safer career. Luckily, someone has finally recognized your talent..."

Kang Zhengyang held a cup of tea and drank it silently, feeling a sense of peace and comfort he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Although he was still unsure about the job Shen Kang had mentioned, he was determined to give it his all.

……

After Kang Zhengyang's matter was settled, there was no need for the convoy anymore. Shen Kang simply called driver Yang Lin and told them to go back to the company.

He himself took a bus to Yangcheng No. 13 Middle School—he still had his old bicycle at school, which he hadn't picked up yet, in order to get back at Kang Zhengyang!

Meanwhile, the class group chat for Senior Three (5) has exploded.

It all started when You Junjie posted a message in the class group saying that he saw Shen Kang at the school gate. Then a convoy of four Mercedes-Benzes and one Bentley drove up to Shen Kang. Five drivers in black suits and white gloves got out of the five cars and called Shen Kang "Young Master!"

The class group chat is usually quite peaceful, with few people talking, but You Junjie's message completely blew the group up.

"Yu Junjie, are you dreaming?"

"You've been watching too much 'Romantic Princess', haven't you?"

"Shen Kang, I know you're the one who's been hyping up the Shangyou Junjie, but you've gone a bit overboard."

"A racing team? There are some basic rules to follow when bragging."

"Hahahaha, this is the most outrageous cow I've heard this year."

……

Nobody believed it.

After all, the rumors circulating in the class a few days ago were that Shen Kang was poor, dirty, and sleazy, and now you're telling me he might be a super-rich man?

What a joke!

However, as several other male classmates came forward to testify that they were together at the time and had indeed seen it, everyone began to waver.

Is it true, or is it a prank orchestrated by these male classmates?

At this point, someone in the group said that Wan Zihao had also seen it, so everyone urged Wan Zihao to come out and say whether it was true.

Wan Zihao was also looking at the messages in the class group chat, while simultaneously searching online for car rental information in Yangcheng.

Seeing the message in the class group chat, he had mixed feelings and really didn't want to speak up—if he admitted that he had seen it, it would be like helping Shen Kang show off, which would be worse than killing him.

However, after a barrage of messages urging him to update, some people even privately messaged him asking him to say something. He couldn't withstand the pressure any longer and had no choice but to speak up.

Wan Zihao: "I saw it, but to be honest, this is very strange. Everyone knows that Shen Kang is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, and everyone knows what he's like. How could this happen? Let me analyze it rationally. Maybe Shen Kang rented those cars and drivers. Although that fleet of cars is worth tens of millions, renting it for a day would only cost a few thousand. Even if it were Shen Kang, he could do that by working for a few months or collecting more bottles."

If Wan Zihao directly admitted to seeing it, everyone might suspect that they had conspired to play a prank. But the awkwardness of admitting and denying at the same time... well, that's what Wan Zihao would say! You Junjie and the others must have really seen that scene too!

As a result, the class group chat exploded even more.

"Holy crap, it's actually true?! I'm speechless!"

"I never would have guessed! Shen Kang is actually the most secretive one in our class! A car fleet worth millions? Wow, that's weird, I've only ever seen that on TV!"

"Something's not right. Wasn't Shen Kang an orphan who grew up in an orphanage?"

"Maybe Shen Kang was just hiding his identity before, but now that he's graduated, he's dropped the act and come clean—he's a super-rich second-generation!"

……

Yin Mingyang sat in front of the computer and also saw these messages in the class group.

Just thinking about that scene at the school gate back then, the convoy, the drivers in black suits and white gloves, respectfully calling him "Young Master" in unison... As soon as he put himself in Shen Kang's shoes, he felt so good that he was practically bubbling with snot.

However, he immediately realized something else, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly took out his phone to call Shen Kang.

"Old Shen, this is terrible! Your affair with a rich woman might be exposed!"
