I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

The next day, Shen Kang and his classmates all stayed in their dorm room and didn't go to study.

There was nothing Shen Kang could do but watch them and prevent them from falling off the rooftop. But after all the commotion last night, with the wind blowing and snow falling, Wang Pan and the other two unfortunately caught a cold. They were all lying in bed with runny noses and naturally couldn't go to self-study.

"No, Lao Shen,"

Wang Pan lay on the bed, struggling to turn to his side and peer down through the iron railings beside the bed. He saw Shen Kang sitting at the table playing Thunder Fighter.

Wang Pan's voice was a little hoarse, "We have colds and can't go to study, but you don't have a cold, so why aren't you going?"

Shen Kang didn't even turn his head. "Isn't it because I thought we could share the burden? Wouldn't it be better to secretly study behind your backs? Otherwise, shall I leave?"

As he spoke, he actually threw down the mouse, got up and started packing his books, making a rustling sound.

"No, no, no!"

Feng Moquan, lying on the bed, quickly stopped him, "It's snowing, and it's cold outside. Old Shen, it's fine for you to stay in the dormitory."

Jin Chao quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, staying in the dorm is fine. After studying for so many days, it's good to rest and relax your mind. Cough cough..."

The thought that they were bedridden and unable to move while Shen Kang was secretly studying behind their backs made them feel terrible. It was better to drag Old Shen down with them.

Shen Kang was in a dilemma: "Look, Brother Pan, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that the people don't agree."

After saying that, he sat down, sweeping away mines while taking another sip of the porridge next to him.

Wang Pan finally realized what was going on. He thought to himself, "Indeed, it would be even more unbearable if I were lying here unable to move while that bastard Lao Shen was secretly studying. In comparison, it's better to let Lao Shen play Thunder Fighter."

Just as he was about to pull his head back and lie down again, he saw Old Shen drinking porridge and couldn't help but get angry again: "Old Shen, you went out to buy breakfast yourself and didn't bring it for us! Cough cough..." In his agitation, he even started coughing.

"He Qiuzhu brought it over."

Shen Kang gave an explanation.

This was indeed bought by He Qiuzhu early this morning after she knew they had been drinking last night.

"..."

Wang Pan slapped himself, fell silent, pulled his head back, and lay back down quietly—he had asked too many unnecessary questions.

People are afraid of comparison, especially those who are sick.

Wang Pan thought about how Old Shen, that bastard, didn't even have a cold, yet he had a girlfriend who was as beautiful as an angel, happily going out early in the morning to buy him breakfast and bring it over. Meanwhile, he, who clearly had a cold, could only lie alone on this moldy bed staring at the ceiling. The more he thought about it, the more desolate he felt, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Jin Chao was also staring at the ceiling, wondering what Lu Tinglan meant by her comment yesterday. Was it really what he thought it meant?

Feng Moquan was also staring at the ceiling, silently thinking: Old Shen had created several opportunities for him, but none of them had made progress. It seemed that his fate might still lie with Zhong Lin. Otherwise, should he continue to pursue her next semester? After all, he and Zhong Lin were closer than ordinary friends, so his chances were probably greater than others.

Shen Kang sat below, playing Thunder Fighter while drinking porridge, enjoying the peaceful and tranquil dormitory atmosphere.

All my roommates had caught a cold, but I was full of energy, playing games and drinking the porridge that my friend had bought and delivered early in the morning.

Yeah, you know what, it actually feels pretty good.

Peaceful and serene, life is just right.

……

"Peaceful and serene, the years are just right."

Zheng Changhao walked on the campus of Yangshang University, stopped, caught a snowflake in his hand, and looked around: the snow was not falling heavily, the ground was wet, and there was not much snow. Some junior students were carrying books and hurrying by to the study room. The occasional laughter that came from the campus was as clear and crisp as silver bells, which made the campus environment even more tranquil.

"You just asked me how I feel right now, and this is how I feel."

Zheng Changhao turned his head, smiled at Lan Qin beside him, and said this.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

Lan Qin said casually, looked up at the gray sky, feeling a little tired and listless.

Zheng Changhao asked, a little strangely, "The business deal is almost done, why are you in a bad mood?"

These past few days, he hasn't been in Yangcheng, but instead went to Huaqiangbei with Lan Qin.

Although my days in Huaqiangbei were packed with work, dealing with various transactions and negotiations and dealing with those old hands, I was exhausted every day. As soon as I got back to the hotel, I couldn't care about anything else. I could barely take a shower and then fall asleep immediately.

But they did reach an agreement, and got a good price.

Therefore, Jung Chang-ho was naturally in a good mood.

As an investor, shouldn't Lan Qin be in a good mood?

"It's just so-so."

Lan Qin pouted.

She was used to a life of luxury, and this time, Zheng Changhao, being a workaholic, didn't know how to be gentle with her at all, leaving her exhausted and in a bad mood.

It's like, Zheng Changhao was happy to finally get a watch worth several thousand dollars for free after several days of effort. But in her eyes, it was just a watch worth several thousand dollars, not worth all that trouble.

"But you're all done now, you can get some rest." Although Jung Chang-ho couldn't empathize, he still offered a word of comfort in a gentle voice.

As they talked, the two set off again, heading towards the startup base.

Upon arriving at the startup base, going up to the third floor, and arriving at room 305, Zheng Changhao, with a smile on his face, shouted in high spirits, "Brothers, I'm back!"

But then I noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit serious.

"What's wrong?"

Then Li Xian led him to a laptop and showed him some things.

"Boss, while you were away, some things happened in the Beiming community..."

Zheng Changhao first saw the information about the Beiming Community that Li Xian showed him.

A new topic has emerged on the Beiming Community forum, generating considerable buzz.

That alone isn't so bad, since Zheng Changhao had already accepted the premise that "Shen Kang is really good at running a community."

It's still acceptable that Shen Kang keeps generating buzz in the Beiming community.

The problem is that, judging from those posts, this buzz seems to have spread beyond the Beiming Community and even extended to Huanhuan.com...

Without Lee Heon needing to do anything else, Jung Chang-ho snatched the mouse, opened the bookmarks on Huanhuan.com, and quickly started browsing.

After a while, Jung Chang-ho fell silent.

If before his business trip, the trading activity on the Huanhuan website was "sparse and deserted," then now it's "bustling with activity and demand exceeding supply."

Zheng Changhao's face darkened, and the previous "peaceful and serene, perfect state of mind" was gone.

"well……"

Lan Qin's sigh could still be heard from behind.

Lan Qin was exasperated—how could Shen Kang be so troublesome? Not long ago, Zheng Changhao analyzed from various angles and confidently said that Shen Kang's idea for Huanhuan.com was excellent, but his execution was lacking and he wouldn't be able to execute it well. How come, after just one business trip, Shen Kang has magically brought Huanhuan.com back to life?

This money is really hard to earn. Lan Qin even wanted to call her mother and say, "Why don't you find someone else?" This Shen Kang is too much trouble. If I keep going against him like this, my hair is going to start falling out.

However, after thinking about it, he suppressed the thought in the end, since he could still get quite a few benefits from this job.

As Zheng Changhao listened to Lan Qin's sigh from behind, he could also hear the whispers of some of the employees present.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he kept feeling that people were whispering things like, "We can't beat Shen Kang," or "Huanhuanwang is too awesome, we can't beat them."

The real battle hasn't even started yet, and morale can't be like this.

Although Jung Chang-ho was also under a lot of pressure, he still slowly spoke.

"The University City of Northern Ireland is home to countless entrepreneurs, each with their own unique style."

"Back then, I personally assembled a team and started the campus forum from scratch. We split into three schools, joined forces with Beilu, and marched north. The day after we took over the startup team from Yangke University, that senior student saw that the situation was hopeless and announced his withdrawal. His tech guy is now in Shen Kang's team. He's just a defeated opponent of mine back then. So I don't understand why everyone is talking about Huanhuan.com, as if this campus second-hand market is destined to be a disaster for us."

At this point, Jung Chang-ho shook his head and decisively announced some good news.

"No. The battle has only just begun."

"Our 'Swap.com' has already secured a supplier, and the purchase price is unprecedentedly low—at least 30% cheaper than Shen Kang's!"

Jung Chang-ho held up three fingers, emphasizing again, "Thirty percent!"

"Today, we won't talk about Yangbei Forum, but about our own 'Huanhuan.com.' As everyone knows, in business, the key is to buy low and sell high. Whoever has the lower purchase price has more room to negotiate lower prices and a greater advantage. And we, in the very first step, have already succeeded, thoroughly suppressing Shen Kang's Huanhuan.com!..."

As Zheng Changhao spoke, his emotions gradually rose, and he became increasingly passionate and motivated.

"...Two years ago, I embarked on my journey from this very startup base, conquering the North Lu University City. Wherever my team went, users warmly welcomed us; that vibrant, thriving atmosphere is still vivid in my mind. How could this place, in just two short years, have become the site of my downfall?"

"No!"

"No matter how good Shen Kang is at hype, the product ultimately comes down to price. No matter how well you tell your story, customers will still choose the cheaper one. Therefore, no matter what, our procurement cost is 30% lower than the original price, so our advantage is in our hands!"

"good!"

Wei Mingrui was the first to applaud.

He was a highly skilled person, but he didn't understand too many business tricks. However, he understood one thing very well: the lower the cost, the greater the advantage. Zheng Changhao's logic completely convinced him.

Zheng Changhao's words did make a lot of sense, and Li Xian and the others applauded and became excited—indeed, they had an advantage in purchasing prices, so what was there to be afraid of?

One of the new employees clapped his hands while his mouth moved slightly.

A person nearby saw this and, while clapping, leaned over and whispered, "What did you say?"

The new employee glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "It's nothing, I was just saying the CEO has a brilliant idea."

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Zheng Changhao was very satisfied and stretched out his hands to press them down.

After everyone quieted down, he finally announced some news.

"In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to announce two more pieces of news."

"One reason is that there are only a few days left before the holiday, and our website preparations are still a little lacking. To be on the safe side, we won't rush to launch it before the end of the semester. We'll make full preparations during the winter break and officially launch it next year."

Zheng Changhao originally wanted to seize the time to launch his own website before the end of the semester, seeing that Huanhuan.com had a bad start. In such a completely undeveloped market, the sooner the better.

But now the situation has changed; the market has changed.

Huanhuan.com is gaining momentum right now. If I rush to launch, I'll be going head-to-head with them. Plus, my preparations aren't quite complete yet, so it could be a bit risky. It's better to avoid the limelight for now and wait until next semester.

By then, the sales surge driven by hype on Huanhuan.com will have passed and calmed down, making it much easier for me to enter the market.

That's called strategy.

After explaining the strategic shift plan, Jung Chang-ho announced the second thing.

"Another thing is that we're officially announcing the name of our new website today—LeHuiShou!"

Zheng Changhao is very satisfied with the name he chose.

"Why are we called Happy Recycling? There are two meanings to it."

"The first meaning is that users spend less money to buy what they want, and that makes them happy!"

"The second point is that we're in the secondhand business, but our attitude is optimistic. If you're not happy yourself, how can you expect your customers to feel happy? It's like a game; if the designer doesn't play it themselves, how can they expect everyone else to play? So, remember, happiness is the primary driving force!"

Everyone applauded again.

Lan Qin stood at the back, watching, and, caught up in the atmosphere, couldn't help but clap softly. She glanced at Zheng Changhao a few more times, thinking, "Old Zheng is quite something. The atmosphere was a bit serious and dull before, but his words have completely reignited everyone's enthusiasm. They're working incredibly hard, without complaint. They're definitely much better than some of their peers in my circle."

……

There are only a few days left until winter break.

With college students cramming at the last minute, and with various apps, electronic dictionaries, and especially civil service exam notes selling out on websites like Huanhuan.com, final exam week has officially begun.

That son of a bitch, Yangke University, made advanced mathematics the first exam for e-commerce majors.

Shen Kang sat in his seat, staring silently at the mostly blank exam paper in front of him.

Then, he looked up and glanced around at the students, paying particular attention to a few people—Wang Pan, Feng Moquan, and Jin Chao.

They were scratching their heads, looking anxious and tense.

Since they've already forgotten how to do it, let's put some pressure on them.

Thinking this, Shen Kang casually stood up, took the test paper, and walked confidently to the proctor on the podium. He put it down, turned around and left, looking incredibly dashing and radiating confidence.

"..."

Wang Pan looked up, stared at the scene, and was dumbfounded.
