Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

The military training had just ended at noon on the second day when Xu Bo grabbed Wang Yan and Yu Haoqi and ran out of the school gate.

Yu Haoqi heard the news last night and insisted on coming today. Xu Bo didn't want to hide it, so he let him come.

Upon seeing Gu Lin, who had been standing at the door for a long time, Xu Bo greeted her, and then the three of them got into a taxi.

Gu Lin was wearing hot pants, which revealed her fair thighs, so she sat in the front.

The three grown men were crammed together in a row, huffing and puffing.

Upon arrival, Xu Bo settled the fare, got out of the car, and looked at the towering buildings in the city center. He put his hand on his eyebrow and searched for the law firm he had booked, facing the glaring sunlight.

"Chengtian Building, it's over there." Xu Bo pointed in a direction, and then the four of them entered the building.

The security guard at the entrance saw the three boys in military training uniforms trying to enter and quickly stopped them. Fortunately, Xu Bo had a phone with him, and with one call, he got someone from the "Liuhe Law Firm" to come down.

Despite her doubts, the receptionist, dressed in a knee-length pencil skirt and black polka-dot stockings, straightened her white shirt and came over.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu?"

"Yes."

"Then please follow me."

After swiping their cards to pass through the turnstiles, they entered the elevator. It was lunchtime, and groups of smartly dressed working men and women had returned with their meals and were preparing to take the elevator back to their respective floors.

It wasn't crowded, but looking at these white-collar workers, apart from Xu Bo, the others all had a hint of envy in their eyes. It seemed that in this era of economic growth, having such a glamorous job was the only right solution.

The elevator quickly reached the eighteenth floor, and the receptionist led them into a meeting room, brought tea, and said...

"Please wait a moment, Attorney Ma will be here soon."

Nodding, the group ate snacks and drank tea in the reception room, gazing at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

"I wish I could have a job like this after graduation," Yu Haoqi said enviously.

"Yeah, look at their clothes and their spirit, they're so stylish," Gu Lin chimed in.

After hearing this, Xu Bo laughed and said, "Don't be envious. You see them as glamorous and seemingly living a free and wealthy life, but actually, they have their own hardships that they don't talk about."

With his gaze fixed on his own face, Xu Bo continued speaking.

"People working here are used to working overtime, and they also face the trouble of KPIs. There is intense competition and pressure to advance in their careers."

"With technology advancing so rapidly these days, if they stick to the old ways, they risk being eliminated at any time. Moreover, the people working here are two-faced; you never know if someone who seems nice to you on the surface might stab you in the back. It's a bit like the student council."

"It looks glamorous, but in reality, it's a precarious existence."

Xu Bo's words helped the group to step out of their superficial illusions, especially when the student council was mentioned, which resonated deeply with Gu Lin.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and then a man in a formal suit walked in.

Xu Bo immediately stood up and stretched out his hands.

"Hello, I'm Attorney Ma."

"Xu Bo".

After they were seated, Attorney Ma continued, "What kind of document do you want to draft?"

"For shop rentals, some special conditions need to be added."

"No problem, our pricing is 800 per person. Is that acceptable to you?"

There are ready-made templates online, but adding a few conditions would cost eight hundred yuan, which made everyone feel the pinch.

"No problem, just be a little more meticulous, money is not an issue," Xu Bo said calmly. He believes that professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Okay, please come with me."

Attorney Ma led Xu Bo into an office, listened carefully to Xu Bo's conditions, and quickly ordered his subordinates to print out a document.

Xu Bo carefully reviewed the document twice, circled some issues in red pen, and discussed it thoroughly with Attorney Ma. Finally, after an hour, the contract was printed out.

I took out my wallet; there weren't many red banknotes left.

"I need to go to the bank to withdraw some cash."

After counting out eight hundred yuan, Xu Bo took the final contract with him and also asked the other party to send an electronic copy to Xu Bo's email address.

"How are you feeling, senior? Are you relieved now?" Xu Bo waved the documents in front of Gu Lin.

"Do you want to come and help or not? We've reserved the manager's position for you."

Xu Bo meant it as a joke, subtly implying that he was indeed very busy and had no time to deal with student council matters.

But to everyone's surprise, the moment Xu Bo turned around, Gu Lin had already taken out her phone.

"Hey, Wei Jun! I quit!"

"Yes! Resign now!"

"Your restaurant is absolutely terrible! I handled all the purchasing, service, and emergency response for you! And you just give me five hundred yuan a month, the salary of a waiter?"

"And I won't even mention your second uncle! He never showers, he reeks of body odor! He treats the kitchen like his own living room! I quit working there a long time ago!"

Hearing the sound, Xu Bo turned around blankly and saw Gu Lin angrily hang up the phone, then stormed up to Xu Bo and said something.

"I resigned, but I'll take the manager's position! How much is the salary?!"

Xu Bo stared blankly at the senior in front of him for a long time before finally speaking in a daze.

"One thousand per month, plus a 10% commission based on performance?"

After hearing this, Gu Lin did some mental calculations. She was only making a fixed salary of 500 yuan a month at that Northeastern restaurant. When she came to Xu Bo's place, although it was only a 500 yuan increase, she would get commission. She just didn't know how big his shop was. She had classes every day, and if she wanted to work there, she would have to go to the shop to work for a while before class every day.

She also had to work at the store in her spare time. Thinking about this, Gu Lin felt that she had been a bit hasty just now.

"Two thousand yuan a month, commission remains the same, just try to come whenever you can." Wang Yan reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to say.

Two thousand yuan is a very cheap salary for a professional manager. Let's give him a trial period first, and if he doesn't perform well, we can just fire him.

With a glance exchanged between Xu Bo and Xu Bo, the plan was finalized.

With an hour to go before the afternoon military training, the four of them hurriedly took a taxi back to the school gate and grabbed a quick bite to eat.

Back on the playground, Xu Bo remembered that he still needed to find He Yimei that night, so he found Du Qinglong and told him.

"Anything going on tonight? Come with me to find He Yimei and that Zheng Wan'er."

When He Yimei was mentioned, Du Qinglong paused for a moment, but Zheng Wan'er immediately reminded him of who these two girls were.

Ever since meeting that girl, Du Qinglong has been thinking about her constantly these past two days, feeling an itch in his heart like it's being scratched by a cat, so he quickly agreed.
