I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

At the end of August, Shen Kang officially set up a "Platform Technology Department" within Anjia, responsible for all information work on the Anjia website.

After discussing it with Li Su, he also offered Li Su a temporary position as the director of the platform technology department, with a three-month probationary period and a monthly salary of 4000 yuan. Zhang Chengran and Wei Changfeng, who worked together on the Anjia website, also joined the platform technology department. Currently, they are both in the position of architect and are also in their probationary period, with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan, which can be considered as an extracurricular internship.

In addition, there are some technical staff who are all classmates of Li Su. Currently, they mainly participate in the work by "treating you to a big meal and then helping you out". As Anjia grows, more people will be recruited to expand the technical team.

Li Su never expected that he would start working after only taking on an outsourced job, mainly to learn how to pick up girls. However, he wasn't averse to it; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited.

Over the past two months, Li Su has witnessed firsthand how Anjia has developed rapidly. Not only has its business volume in the High-tech Zone grown larger and larger, but it has also set up service stations in the three main urban areas of Tianchang District, Wutai District, and Huawan District, started doing business, and is actively expanding its business volume.

The momentum can be described as thriving.

Li Su's original career plan was to join Ali after graduation, but after seeing Anjia's momentum, he felt that Anjia might be a better fit for him. After all, if he went to Ali, he would have to start from the bottom, while at Anjia, he would be a technical leader and a key contributor to the company's success.

Therefore, Li Su has become increasingly proactive at work during this period, even finding excuses to spend less time with Li Xiangjun, throwing himself headlong into his work.

"How long until online banking payment is launched?" Shen Kang asked.

"The testing is almost complete. It should be ready in about 10 more days," Li Su replied.

Anjia's online banking payment function started connecting with the bank at the end of July, but this thing is really troublesome to launch. Even with the assistance of the technical staff sent by the bank, it has taken two months and it is still not done.

It seems that Li Su's team cannot be mobilized at the moment.

Shen Kang thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any reliable friends with good skills you can recommend?"

Having dealt with Li Su many times, he understood Li Su's way of thinking, so before Li Su could ask, he directly stated the functional requirements: "It's not a complicated website. I set up a laundry room at Yangko University of Science and Technology, and business is currently booming. In the future, the daily customer flow will be very large, and it may exceed the daily capacity. Therefore, we need a corresponding website to create a reservation system."

"If the website were a forum, guests could check in and post. Daily check-ins and the first post of the day would earn points, which could be used for reservations or even skipping queues..."

Shen Kang gave Li Su a general overview of the functions the website needed.

After listening, Li Su didn't immediately talk about the website. Instead, he sighed at Shen Kang's "neglect of his duties": "Brother, we're still busy as bees here at Anjia, and you've gone and opened a laundry room, and now you're going to make a website too."

After venting for a bit, Li Su got down to business: "The technical difficulty isn't really that high. You can just find someone at Yang University of Science and Technology. There's one in your third year, named Ma Liang."

"Ma Liang with his magic paintbrush?" Shen Kang also made a sarcastic remark.

Li Su laughed and said, "His name is a bit strange, but it was his father who gave it to him, so there's nothing he can do about it."

"Is his skill level any good?"

"Let me put it this way, he's second only to me."

"Then how did he end up at our school?"

"Brother, in our line of work, skill level is related to the school you attend, but it's not that much of a factor. In our computer science department at Yang University, there are students who skip classes every day but don't know anything. Ma Liang did get a low score on the college entrance exam, but he likes this and is really willing to study hard."

"So how did you two meet?"

"Isn't there a student forum in your Beilu District University Town? The one run by Zheng Changhao from Yangcheng Business School. Ma Liang hacked his forum, and Zheng Changhao asked someone to find me for help. I fought with him once, and that's how we met..."

After chatting with Li Su for a while, Shen Kang hung up the phone, and Li Su immediately sent him Ma Liang's contact information.

Shen Kang waited for a while, and after Li Suxian made a phone call to tell Ma Liang about it, he made a phone call and arranged a time to meet with Ma Liang.

After finishing these tasks, and seeing that it was almost time, Shen Kang got up and headed to the multimedia lecture hall on the first floor of B11 to attend the "University Students' Career Planning" class.

This large lecture is not a required course called "University Students' Career Planning," but a lecture that serves as the beginning of the four-year university life for freshmen. Every department attends it, and the lectures are divided into different classrooms according to the department and major.

Their class was supposed to be a joint class with students from several other majors in the School of Economics and Management. When Shen Kang arrived at the classroom, he found that quite a few people had already arrived, and the classroom was packed with students.

Shen Kang is quite handsome; as soon as he entered, he attracted the attention of some girls from other classes.

After a quick glance, Shen Kang spotted Wang Pan and the others sitting in an area on the right side towards the back, so he walked straight over.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that some of the faces in this area looked somewhat familiar; I had seen them during military training. It seemed that Class 2 of E-commerce was sitting in this area.

Wang Pan, Feng Moquan, and Jin Chao were sitting together. There were a few empty seats outside Jin Chao's seat, so Shen Kang went in and sat down next to him.

As soon as I sat down, a girl in front of me turned around and asked, "Shen Kang, they said you know Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), and that you predicted there would be a laundry room at our school half a month ago. Do you really know it?"

Some of the students around also turned their heads and looked over curiously.

Upon seeing this, Shen Kang quickly denied it: "I was just joking, it was completely a guess, there's no such thing as magic or supernatural powers involved! Everyone should believe in science!"

Goodness, this kind of thing is just a folk hobby to play with in private, but look at the scope of its spread now. If someone dares to admit it and causes a "Shen Banxian" incident, it could be considered a large-scale spread of feudal superstition and they could be punished.

"Ah..." The girl was a little disappointed, and everyone else was a little disappointed too.

With nothing entertaining to see, everyone turned back around.

Shen Kang also breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Feng Moquan and the others—it was obvious that the three of them had spread the word.

Feng Moquan and the others didn't dare to look at him. The three of them huddled together, whispering and discussing the laundry room. Wang Pan was still holding a token in his hand.

Shen Kang strained his ears to listen to the surrounding sound waves and discovered that many people were discussing the laundry room. Looking around, he saw that several classmates were holding signs for Jiahe Laundry Chain.

Clearly, the combination of "Yangtze University's first laundry room" and "brand marketing" made Jiahe Laundry Chain a resounding success on its opening day, becoming a hot topic among Yangtze University students...

Two rows behind, three girls sat together. They were also from Class 2 of E-commerce: Chu Min, Ji Feiyan, and Dong Xiufang.

During the more than ten days of military training, everyone's relationship improved rapidly, and they formed small cliques. The three of them were also a small clique, led by Ji Feiyan, and they were discussing the laundry room at the moment.

"I heard from a senior that this laundry room was opened by the best friend of a friend's roommate's good friend, who is also a student at our school, so he should be a senior." Chu Min, who looks ordinary, told him what she had heard.

Dong Xiufang was speechless. "This relationship is too convoluted, isn't it? I did hear that our school doesn't allow laundry rooms."

Not to be outdone, Chu Min said, "I've heard about it too." But she immediately added with a puzzled look, "So how exactly did this laundry room get started?"

Ji Feiyan smiled faintly: "For capable people, all rules are meant to be broken. This senior is clearly such a person."

As the three were talking about the mysterious senior, Chu Min suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Yan Yan, Shen Kang just turned around and looked at you."

She saw Shen Kang looking around and observing the cards in the hands of the people around him.

"Speaking of which, Shen Kang is actually quite good-looking, and he likes you so much. He was completely smitten with you back then. Yan Yan, are you really not going to consider him?" Chu Min asked.

Ji Feiyan scoffed, "I've already said it, I could never like a man from a poor background who has achieved success."

Although Shen Kang didn't participate much in military training, he still became the focus of discussion among the girls in his class at night because of his good looks.

Considering Shen Kang's actions—not buying an extra set of military training uniform, using an old-fashioned thermos to fetch warm water from the school during training, not even being able to afford cola, and his diligent studies upon entering the school, which even alarmed the school authorities and led them to send him to participate in a competition—the girls came to a conclusion: Shen Kang is a hardworking village student from a rural background, and if he successfully passes the civil service exam, he will most likely become a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor rural background who achieves success in the civil service exam).

"Phoenix man" is a buzzword that emerged this year, and women are terrified of it. There's even a saying online: "Don't marry a phoenix man."

This is the image of Shen Kang in the hearts of the girls in Class 2 of E-commerce.

As for the bracelet that Shen Kang always wore... these days, Van Cleef & Arpels has very low brand recognition and is only popular in high-end consumer circles. None of the girls from ordinary families recognized it and thought it was a cheap, low-quality item used for show.

"If you like it, you can take it," Ji Feiyan added.

Chu Min was a little unhappy—why should I get the food you don't want? Does that mean I'm inferior to you and can only pick up your leftovers?

But she didn't have the courage to confront Ji Feiyan, so she could only vent her anger on Shen Kang: "Heh, it's not like I want every piece of junk..."

The three best friends were chatting when, just before class started, another girl walked in late, carrying two small bottles of Nestlé Silky Latte.

In this multimedia lecture hall today, the most beautiful girl is undoubtedly Ji Feiyan. However, the girl who just entered is no less beautiful than Ji Feiyan. She also has a rare wheat-colored complexion and a unique charm, so she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered.

Ji Feiyan also looked over, and snorted coldly in her heart, feeling a sense of crisis.

Coincidentally, after scanning the area, the other person walked directly towards Ji Feiyan.

Getting closer.

Ji Feiyan sat up straight.

She also noticed that a few rows ahead, a boy quietly took his backpack from the chair on the right and put it on the ground, freeing up the seat by the aisle.

But the girl ignored her and walked right past.

Ji Feiyan could almost hear the boy's regretful sigh.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the girl with wheat-colored skin stop at a row of seats, turn around, walk in, sit down next to Shen Kang, gently place the small bottle of Nestlé Silky Latte in front of Shen Kang, and reveal a charming smile: "I heard you like to drink this. It's not available at school, so I specially went to the shopping street to buy it."
