I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

After dropping He Qiuzhu and her group off at the dormitory management office, Shen Kang gave them one last instruction: "Remember, there's a price to paying you for this free service. You must write a review. Otherwise, it will be taken back. If you write one, it will be yours to use indefinitely."

"Received!" He Qiuzhu replied most enthusiastically.

Fu Rong and the others also said that they would write it.

Shen Kang glanced at Xia Meng and added, "I'm talking about the user experience of using an electric toothbrush. Don't submit any other strange user experiences."

?

Fu Rong and the others couldn't understand it either.

Xia Meng, however, ignored Shen Kang, looking around as if admiring the scenery.

After giving his instructions, Shen Kang carried the cardboard box back to the dormitory management station No. 5.

When I entered the No. 5 dormitory management station, I ran into Liang Zhidao by chance.

Liang Zhidao was holding a bunch of flyers, looking like he was out promoting his organization's courses again. He had just come out of dormitory management station number 5 and was walking out, probably heading to the next dormitory management station.

"Senior Brother Liang."

Shen Kang greeted him, pointed his chin at the cardboard box in his arms, and said, "I was going to send you a box, but since I ran into you here, I'll just take one."

"Old Shen," Liang Zhidao greeted him, walked over, and peeked into the cardboard box in Shen Kang's arms. "An electric toothbrush?"

"Yes, I also have another company. This is a product that company just made. It's currently in the testing phase and being shipped out everywhere."

Shen Kang explained, "It's a free gift, no money required, but there's one condition: after using it, you need to submit a detailed usage report. The card inside the box has all the details on how to write it and where to send it."

Liang Zhidao paused, raised his head, and looked at Shen Kang.

Although he already knew that this junior Shen ran a well-known housekeeping company in Yangcheng outside of school and was not an ordinary college student, he was still surprised to hear that Shen Kang had a company and that the company even made physical products like electric toothbrushes.

"Awesome, Lao Shen."

Liang Zhidao gave a thumbs up, and then, without standing on ceremony with Shen Kang, took out a box of electric toothbrushes from the cardboard box. "Okay, then I'll be your test subject and evaluate how good your electric toothbrush is."

After receiving the electric toothbrush, Liang Zhidao didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood there and started talking to Shen Kang about his notes and study materials for the civil service exam.

"I saw Huanhuan.com launch, and I also saw some civil service exam study materials and notes posted there. I even saw some people posting on Beiming Community recommending Huanhuan.com and those civil service exam study materials. Did you have someone do that?"

Liang Zhidao wasn't deeply involved in the civil service exam study notes; his main role was to assist. Together with Shen Kang, he designed a complete process from collection to shelving to sales, providing professional advice based on his expertise.

Some of the opinions are quite good.

For example, "civil service exam materials, notes, and medical examination form".

This is a concept proposed by Liang Zhidao, which means that after all the civil service exam study materials and notes are received, they should not be put on the shelves immediately, but should be reviewed and processed by Liang Zhidao's "Civil Service Vanguard" team first.

For example, if a person from Gongtu Xianfeng (a company specializing in civil service exam preparation) gets their hands on a set of notes for civil service exams, they can flip through it and check the following: Does the data analysis module have original summaries of common pitfalls? Does the verbal comprehension section have unique problem-solving strategies? Does the quantitative reasoning section only cover basic question types? Are there any quick calculation techniques? Is the logical reasoning section detailed? Does the logic section have any original methods?

Those who are pioneers in the civil service exam are very skilled at it, and this kind of physical examination takes less than ten minutes.

After such a comprehensive examination, the characteristics of the corresponding civil service exam study materials and notes can be basically identified.

When Shen Kang heard Liang Zhidao's idea, he immediately and decisively accepted it.

This "Civil Service Exam Study Materials and Notes Checklist" is essentially the same as Huanhuan.com's "quality control." The only difference is the target audience—Huanhuan.com's checklist deals with civil service exam study materials and notes, while Huanhuan.com's quality control personnel deal with electronic products.

Of course, the people from Gongtu Pioneer couldn't do this for Shen Kang for free. For each quality inspection report, they had to pay Gongtu Pioneer's "quality inspectors" a "quality inspection fee".

This can be considered as Liang Zhidao bringing in an extra source of income for his organization.

Shen Kang was also happy to pay the money.

Liang Zhidao did offer some suggestions like these, ensuring that Shen Kanghua's consulting fee to him was not wasted.

However, Liang Zhidao did not get involved in the subsequent sales process.

"Yes. Now that the items are on the shelves, we definitely need to let people know that we sell these things here," Shen Kang admitted.

Seeing that it was indeed Shen Kang who had someone do it, Liang Zhidao made another suggestion, "I have an idea. Taking the civil service exam is a big deal. Although we are all atheists, when it comes to something as important as taking the civil service exam, everyone would rather believe it than not. So in previous years, I have always seen senior students or parents going to all sorts of places to pray to gods and Buddhas."

"So, could we use this as a selling point in our GG promotion? After all, our civil service exam materials were obtained from those who have successfully passed the exam."

Shen Kang understood what he meant. "I get it. The 'landing buff,' right?"

He actually had the same idea.

Upon hearing his description, Liang Zhidao thought it was excellent. "'Landing buff'? That's a good word. Yes, that's exactly what it means."

Shen Kang casually asked, "So, Senior Brother Liang, do you have any specific ideas?"

Liang Zhidao shook his head. "I only have this general idea. I don't have any specific ideas yet."

He wasn't just being perfunctory or deliberately refusing to say it.

In fact, the sales volume of these civil service exam study materials and notes on Huanhuan.com is closely related to his income, since he takes a cut based on the number of copies sold.

That's why Liang Zhidao is so proactive, even in sales processes that aren't under his jurisdiction, he takes the initiative to think and offer suggestions.

However, the idea had only just popped into Liang Zhidao's head when he went online today, and he had been busy with his own things all day, so he hadn't really figured out what to do.

Shen Kang had originally wanted to see if Liang Zhidao had any specific suggestions, hoping for a more inclusive approach. Seeing that Liang Zhidao didn't have any for the time being, he didn't ask further, saying, "Okay, it's fine..."

After chatting for a while, Liang Zhidao had to rush off to hand out flyers and drum up business, so he left first.

Shen Kang, carrying the cardboard box, didn't leave Dormitory Station No. 5 immediately. Instead, he stopped in front of the window of the room where the auntie was on duty, put the box down, and said with a smile to the auntie inside, "Sister Qin, the company made a new product, an electric toothbrush. You can take one and use it; it's free. After using it for a few days, just write a review."

There are two aunties at dormitory station number 5.

The woman sitting inside now, whom the students call "Aunt Qin," is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She is quite robust and strong, and a good worker.

Upon seeing Shen Kang, Aunt Qin, who had been sitting inside eating sunflower seeds, also stood up and looked over with a smile.

There were many students at Dormitory Station No. 5, and Aunt Qin couldn't possibly know them all. However, she was quite familiar with Xiao Shen, who was standing in front of her. After all, Xiao Shen would sometimes share some fruit with them when he bought it back, and he was also very polite.

Most importantly, Xiao Shen called them differently from the other students.

The other students all called them "auntie," but only Xiao Shen called them "sister."

When Aunt Qin first heard it, she was a little unaccustomed to it and said that it was inappropriate to call her "sister". But Xiao Shen argued vehemently, "Why is it inappropriate? I feel that you are about the same age as my sister, Sister Qin."

Shen Kang was telling the truth. After all, psychologically speaking, he should indeed call Aunt Qin "Sister Qin".

He was telling the truth, and was naturally quite sincere. Aunt Qin felt this sincerity and was even happier—that's why she said sincerity is the greatest weapon.

From then on, Shen Kang always called them "sister".

Their impression of Shen Kang was naturally very good.

"An electric toothbrush?"

Aunt Qin glanced into the cardboard box after hearing Shen Kang's words. She thought to herself, "So this Shen family owns a company. They must be rich. No wonder they're usually so generous."

"Electric toothbrushes are available?"

Aunt Qin was quite surprised.

The idea of ​​electric toothbrushes is still quite new. Even female students like Fu Rong are seeing them for the first time, let alone Aunt Qin.

"Hmm. Electric ones do have some advantages over manual ones..."

Shen Kang then repeated the same things he had told Fu Rong and the others before.

Aunt Qin was very tempted—of course, what tempted her the most was the word "free".

"Really free?" Aunt Qin couldn't help but ask again.

"It's really free. The only price you have to pay, Sister Qin, is to write a user experience review. I'll save one for you. When Sister Zhang comes during your shift change, you can give it to her."

Writing a user review is practically free, isn't it? Aunt Qin thought to herself, her face beaming with joy, and her fondness for Xiao Shen in front of her grew even stronger.

"Okay, then I'll help you with this favor and test your company's product."

Just then, two students returned from outside. As they passed the window inside the dormitory management station, they overheard Aunt Qin referring to herself as "sister" to a younger student. This made the two students look strange and they even chuckled to themselves.

Aunt Qin saw it.

Immediately, she frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable: What did these two underlings mean? Was it strange for her to call herself "sister"? What did they mean?

"Hey, you two."

Aunt Qin immediately spoke up, stopping her conversation with Shen Kang and calling out to the two students.

The two boys were chuckling and whispering to each other, about to leave. Hearing Aunt Qin's call, they paused, then turned to look at her.

"Yes, you two, come here for a moment."

The two boys exchanged a glance, their smiles still lingering on their faces, and reluctantly moved closer.

Aunt Qin put the sunflower seeds she was holding on the table, patted the crumbs off her hands, and looked the two of them up and down. After she finished looking them over, she leisurely leaned out of the window and pointed to the notice board on the wall at the corner of the corridor.

"Did you see that?"

The two boys looked in the direction she was pointing. A printed notice was posted on the bulletin board; it had been there for a while, the edges curled up. It read "Notice Regarding Strengthening the Safety Management of Student Dormitories," and was signed by the school's Logistics Management Department.

"That notice has been posted there for almost a month, and you two pass by it every day. I'm asking you, what does it say?"

The two boys stammered, neither of them able to answer.

"That's good, you can't answer that," Aunt Qin snorted. "Because you haven't even read it. The school requires the dormitory management to conduct regular spot checks on students' knowledge of the dormitory safety regulations, and I was just wondering who to ask for help. Perfect, it's the two of you."

As she spoke, she pulled a crumpled folder from the drawer, turned to a page, and found it covered with densely printed safety management regulations.

Aunt Qin slammed the folder on the window and pointed at the two boys, saying, "Come on, each of you read five points aloud. Just stand here and read them so that all the students coming and going can hear. Consider it a safety awareness campaign."

The two boys turned green.

It's lunchtime now, and students are coming and going from the dormitory management station in a constant stream. Standing here reciting regulations, what's the difference between that and a public execution?

Under other circumstances, they could ignore it, but Aunt Qin spoke with great seriousness, saying it was a school regulation and a right she was given. It seemed they couldn't disobey such a legitimate school management matter.

"Sister Qin... Sister Qin,"

One of the boys, quick-witted as ever, remembered what had just happened and immediately called out to Sister Qin, "Can I go in and read?"

The boy pointed to the room where Aunt Qin was.

He hoped to move Aunt Qin with his sincere "Sister Qin".

"That won't work."

Aunt Qin shook her head.

"School rules state that students are not allowed to enter this room without permission. You can just stand outside and read it. Besides, safety awareness campaigns are meant to be publicized so that everyone hears them; only then will they be effective and count. How can reading it secretly inside have any effect?"

Then, Aunt Qin glanced at the two of them and said, "If you don't want to read it, then I'll write 'This student refused to cooperate' on the checklist and report it to your counselor. Where are your student IDs? Show them to me."

Both boys were at a loss.

Shen Kang, a tall and imposing man, standing there carrying a large cardboard box, was quite eye-catching.

One of the boys suddenly had a bright idea and pointed at Shen Kang, "Aunt Qin, why isn't he doing spot checks?"

Aunt Qin paused in her eating of sunflower seeds and followed his gaze to Shen Kang.

Shen Kang, holding the cardboard box, blinked innocently, thinking to himself, "Are you two just bored? Why do you have to drag me into this?"

Aunt Qin turned her head back, her expression unchanged: "Little Shen doesn't need to carry it."

"Why doesn't he have to do it?" The two boys got even more worked up, feeling they'd found a huge injustice. "Isn't the check supposed to be random? We were just laughing at the door and got picked, while he stood here watching the show for ages and didn't have to! That's not fair!"

"How is it unfair?" Aunt Qin tossed the sunflower seed shells into the trash can and clapped her hands slowly. "He already memorized them last month. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Both boys turned to look at Shen Kang.

Without even a second's hesitation, Shen Kang nodded solemnly: "Yes, I've memorized it."

"When?"

"last month."

"Which day?"

Shen Kang remained expressionless: "On the day Sister Qin conducted her spot check."

Aunt Qin chimed in, "That's right, I remember it clearly. Xiao Shen not only memorized it, but he memorized it exceptionally well, with a loud and clear voice and full of emotion. I wanted to give him a 95 out of 100 right then and there."

As she spoke, she pulled the crumpled folder out of the drawer again, flipped through it with an air of importance, and pointed to a blank space, saying, "Look, it's written here..."

The two boys instinctively craned their necks to look, but before they could see clearly, Aunt Qin slammed the folder shut.

The two boys looked like they had swallowed a lemon whole.

Shen Kang spoke up calmly and sincerely, "How about this, you guys keep reciting, and I'll demonstrate for you. I'll correct you if you don't pronounce something correctly. After all, I've been there, I have experience."

Aunt Qin nodded approvingly: "Good, this is good. You two read it, and Xiao Shen will be the judge. He got 95 points, and you two try to pass."

Aunt Qin added, "By the way, Xiao Shen, how did you manage to be so 'emotionally rich' before? Demonstrate it for them."

Shen Kang cleared his throat and said, "Article 10: It is strictly forbidden to keep any kind of pet in the dormitory - (including but not limited to cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, miniature pigs, and any small animals that your roommates do not agree to - (end of article)."

His pronunciation was clear and forceful, like a professional announcer. The key point was that he actually pronounced the "parentheses" and "the parentheses are finished," and he did so with great seriousness.

The two boys immediately broke down; one squatted on the ground laughing, while the other leaned against the wall and started punching it.

Aunt Qin leaned back in her chair with satisfaction and started cracking sunflower seeds again: "See? That's what you call memorizing regulations. You two, follow this standard. If you can recite all five, you've passed. If you can't, start over."

After the two boys finished laughing, they resignedly picked up the folder. The next two lines were even worse than crying—because they wanted to laugh as soon as they opened their mouths, and once they started laughing, they couldn't continue reading. They finished reading them in fits and starts, and their throats were almost cracking.

When returning the folder, one of the boys couldn't help but ask Shen Kang, "Senior, which version of the regulations is that 'after the brackets'?"

Seeing how close Shen Kang and Aunt Qin were, they guessed that he was a senior from school and spent a lot of time with her, which explained their good relationship.

Shen Kang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You'll know when you get to 95 points."
