I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Shen Kang knew the name was strange, so he explained, "Actually, it's about turning this place into a social venue. I bought some cards, which should arrive in the next couple of days. We'll organize card games, and people will pay to come here and play cards—"

He roughly explained his plans for the 302 study room to Yang Yunhan.

Yang Yunhan then realized that it wasn't a study room at all, but rather an unusual card and chess room.

Yang Yunhan knew about the chess and card room, of course. Her family was from the countryside, and there was one in the village. Wu Lao Er's house at the east end of the village was the village's chess and card room. During the off-season for farming and the Spring Festival, business was particularly good. If you went late, there would be no seats available. Business was also good on weekdays.

But that's for money.

The kind of thing Shen Kang is talking about doesn't involve playing for money, so who would spend money to play it?

Yang Yunhan directly voiced this concern.

Shen Kang tried his best to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "Uh, actually you can understand it as a blind date."

There are so many matchmaking agencies these days, right? Everyone pays for a membership to go on blind dates. Ours is similar, except we're not looking to get married, we're looking to find love.

Yang Yunhan finally understood. "So it means matchmaking?"

Shen Kang nodded and then shook his head: "Essentially, that's a fair way to understand it, but we need to consider the subtlety of college students. We can't be so blatant; we need to take a more tactful approach. That's why I bought a deck of cards to give everyone an excuse. You're not here to find a partner or date; you're here to play cards. But deep down, we all know that you're here to find a partner."

Yang Yunhan seemed to understand something. "It's like you and your boss, you're clearly dating, but you insist on calling yourselves brother and sister, right? Got it."

Because they were students at Yang-Ke University, the relationship between Yang Yunhan and the other two impoverished students and Shen Kang and He Qiuzhu was relatively less serious. Therefore, Yang Yunhan had also gossiped about the relationship between Shen Kang and He Qiuzhu.

In her opinion, the two of them were obviously a couple. Wasn't it obvious? If they weren't, why would Shen Kang have been so busy helping He Qiuzhu open this shop? Through the small details of their daily interactions, it was clear that they were a couple.

Yang Yunhan even has irrefutable evidence:

The night before the laundry opened, she passed by the store and saw that the door was open and that Manager Shen was touching Boss He's hand repeatedly.

Your godbrother and godsister do this kind of thing?

Shen Kang refused to admit it, insisting that they were just platonic brothers and sisters.

With such a couple around, Yang Yunhan naturally understood what Shen Kang meant.

Upon hearing Yang Yunhan's example, Shen Kang was speechless: "Is this the same thing? Boss He and I are perfectly innocent brothers and sisters! You can ask her if you don't believe me."

Yang Yunhan was really bold; she actually turned to He Qiuzhu, who was reading a novel on her phone at the next table, and asked, "Boss, are you and Shen Kang in a completely innocent brother-sister relationship?"

He Qiuzhu raised her head, looked at Yang Yunhan, then at Shen Kang, and said, "No, they are older sister and younger brother."

Shen Kang got excited, clapped his hands, and said, "See? What did I tell you? You just wouldn't believe me!"

"But didn't you just say brother and sister?"

"That's enough to get the gist of it, why are you babbling on and on? Do you still want the manager position at this new store?!" Shen Kang started slamming his fist on the table.

Yang Yunhan fell silent.

She was initially skeptical about the prospects of the new store and didn't know if Shen Kang's "paid social value" model would work, but now that she saw two examples, she seemed to have some confidence.

Look how much fun these two are having with this charade!

Seeing that she was no longer dwelling on the issue of her brother and sister, Shen Kang changed the subject back: "So what do you think? Are you interested in being the manager of this new store?"

He didn't just pick people randomly; he had been observing them for a while.

Yang Yunhan is a resilient person with strong execution skills, making her a good candidate. As for Qian Jun, although he's quick-witted, he's a bit muddle-headed and only moves when provoked, so let him stay in the laundry room and maintain the status quo.

"I'm willing to give it a try." After expressing her willingness, Yang Yunhan asked about the practical details: "How are the working hours calculated? Is the salary still 1300 per month? Or is it like Qian Jun's, 1800 per month?"

Shen Kang said, "As for the salary, let's set it at 2000 for now. It's not fair for a store manager like you to earn less than the assistant store manager next door. The working hours are very flexible, you can arrange them yourself. You can also hire another employee later to help you watch the store on weekdays. Watching the store isn't your job. What you, as the store manager, need to do is think about how to acquire customers, how to increase customer repurchase rates, how to make a profit, and so on."

"Of course, the idea for this store came from me, and I'll work with you on these things in the early stages. Actually, we can start now. You're already the manager of the 302 study room. Do you have any ideas on how to promote it and how to acquire our customers?" Shen Kang immediately threw a question at him.

Without hesitation, Yang Yunhan replied, "The laundry room next door."

She works there and knows the laundry room's customer traffic. "We can give out trial vouchers to customers when they come to pick up their clothes, as a perk for paying for laundry services. With the voucher, they can come and try it out once, and that's how we got our first batch of customers."

Shen Kang thought the suggestion was good. "Good suggestion. Also, I have an idea. Aren't you a girl? Could you invite some pretty female classmates over? The shop can let them play here for free."

Yang Yunhan's eyes lit up. "You mean those bars where pretty girls are free, and that attracts men to spend money?"

Shen Kang narrowed his eyes. He had thought Yang Yunhan wouldn't understand and he would have to explain. "Not bad, Xiao Yang, you go to bars quite often?"

Yang Yunhan said frankly, "I'm busy with classes and part-time jobs, how could I have time to go to bars? I only heard about it from the people in my dorm."

Then, glancing at He Qiuzhu beside him, he said, "Let me make this clear: there's probably no one else in the school as beautiful as the boss."

He Qiuzhu's eyes lit up. She thought to herself that Yang Yunhan was a good person, but it was a pity that she was no longer in the laundry room.

Shen Kang gave a forced smile: "Study room 302 is mine. Now that you've decided to leave the laundry room, you're no longer her employee, so you don't need to flatter her anymore."

Yang Yunhan ignored him and started counting on her fingers: "I know about three people. It's a bit few, but it doesn't matter. I'm a girl and I live in the girls' dormitory. It won't be a problem for me to visit them more often. But these people might not come for free, especially when we first open. We might need some incentive to get them to come."

Shen Kang waved his hand and said, "Okay, we'll do it your way. Investment is necessary. Just write me a simple report."

Then he thought to himself, "I knew I hadn't misjudged him. Look how good this ox is! He doesn't even need a whip to move around. He's already thinking about visiting other people. How can someone like Qian Jun compare?"
