At noon, on the campus of the School of Finance.
Feng Zhongliang took a stack of letters and distributed them to each dormitory one by one.
This is one of his jobs as a living committee member.
Communications in this era are still backward, and many college students do not have mobile phones. Although there are landlines in the dormitories, many people are still accustomed to communicating by letters.
In a few years, every college student will have a mobile phone, and letters will gradually become a memory.
Today’s express delivery industry is not as prosperous and competitive as it was in later times. There are SF Express, ZTO Express, STO Express, Best Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express…
Before Su Zelin's rebirth, there were countless express delivery brands, and everyone relied on speed and service to compete for the market.
In 2000, the vast majority of people used only one method of shipping: EMS.
The postal service is stable. No matter how far the mountainous area is, people in the future have to rely on it to reach places that other express services cannot reach, and the loss rate is also low.
But EMS is indeed slow, and the service is poor. Don't even expect any phone notifications at this time. They just throw your letters and parcels into the mail room next to the guard room and leave.
In this way, the class life committee member of each class will go to the mailroom at noon every day to retrieve the letters of everyone in the class, and if there are any packages, notify others to pick them up in time.
Although it is a bit troublesome, Lao Feng enjoys doing it because he is a hardworking person and distributing letters to his classmates is also when he feels most accomplished.
"Thank you, Lao Feng!"
"Haha, no need, I'm the living committee member, this is my duty!"
Walking in and out of several dormitories and listening to the boys who received the letters expressing their gratitude, Lao Feng felt very happy. He felt that while he had made a contribution to the class, he had also won the respect of others.
"If you are an official and don't serve the people, you might as well go home and be a sweet potato!"
This common saying is Feng Zhongliang's life motto, but because he is too honest and straightforward, Feng worked in the local government for more than ten years after graduation, but he was just a deputy section-level civil servant who could not leave the office.
After sending a round of letters, with only the last two left, I returned to the dormitory.
"Old Five, yours!"
As soon as he entered the door, Lao Yang gave one of the letters to Hu Xu.
Lao Wu's family lives in a rural area of Bayu Mountain City. The village is very backward. Only the village committee has installed a telephone, and long-distance calls are very expensive. Usually, unless Hu Xu's parents have urgent matters, they contact him by letter. He receives several letters every month.
Hu Xu nodded at Lao Feng. Since they were all in the same dormitory, they were all brothers, so there was no need to be too polite.
"Third brother, your junior sister has written to you again!"
Feng Zhongliang handed another letter to Su Zelin.
Outside, he would give face to the gangster and respectfully call him squad leader. However, in the dormitory, Lao Feng felt that as the room leader, I was the most senior, so even the squad leader had to be under my jurisdiction, so he always called me No. 3.
Unlike regular envelopes, this one is pink and heart-shaped, and you can tell it's from a girl. It has a stamp of the Great Wall on it, which is one of the most common stamps nowadays. In addition, there are also stamps of the zodiac, Buddha statues, pagodas, antique vases and green bamboo.
Every weekend when Huang Panpan returned home, she would call or send messages to Su Zelin. She would also write letters when she was at school, basically one letter per week.
Over time, everyone in 302 knew that Su Zelin had a junior high school girl who admired him very much when he was in high school.
"Third brother, your junior sister is really good to you. She writes to you every week. I wish I had a female fan like her!"
Zeng Kaiping was very envious.
In this life, Su Zelin never taught him his secret technique of flirting, and now the energetic young man has not evolved into an online dating expert, so his love life is still quite miserable.
Su Zelin discovered one thing: this guy's ability to pick up girls in real life is really worrying. His talent in this area is completely different from that on the Internet.
Dormitories 302 and 501 have already held a social gathering, and since Zeng Kaiping likes to follow me around, he has plenty of opportunities to chat and interact with the girls. But this guy simply cannot speak in front of girls, and is not much better than Lu Haoran.
But the spirited young man is definitely not an honest man. He does have a talent for picking up girls. He cannot say that he has learned 100% of it in his previous life, but at least he has learned 70% to 80%, which is enough for him to indulge in the world of girls.
It is absolutely impossible for Lu Haoran, the little cutie is an honest man at heart.
It feels like Zeng Kaiping's talent has been sealed and can only be unlocked through online love. In his previous life, this energetic young man also fought his way out on QQ, and only after he had more netizens did he gradually come to his senses in real life.
Then, after Liede was demolished and his family was given dozens of houses, he became a playboy.
"A Ping, this may not be a good thing. You don't understand my troubles!"
Su Zelin sighed.
The problems of his junior high school girl have always been a headache for him in his past and present lives.
In this life, he took another approach to see if he could persuade Huang Panpan to give up on him. However, there is no obvious effect at the moment, as the junior high school girl is still sticking to him very much.
But at least, she is not as extreme as she was in her previous life.
Although the gangster was telling the truth, Zeng Kaiping took it as Versailles.
"Come on, Third Brother, stop showing off in various ways. I wish I had the same troubles as you do!"
Su Zelin ignored his sighs and opened the heart-shaped envelope. Inside were two pieces of girlish letter paper with beautiful flowers on the border. He could even smell a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Senior:
Hello, letter.
I received your reply today and learned that you have become the class monitor. I am proud and happy for you!
Senior, you are the best boy in the world. Gold will surely shine. Panpan wants to learn from you.
In the past month, I have had a very good attitude towards study and made rapid progress in several subjects, which was praised by my teachers.
But I know this is not enough. To catch up with my seniors, I need to do more and better.
Panpan will not be proud of this and will continue to work hard to strive for further improvement!
…
…
In his reply, the senior shared with me many wonderful things about life in the ivory tower, which made Panpan yearn for it.
Next year, I will definitely be admitted to the University of Finance and Economics!
Looking forward to the reunion with seniors on the university campus!
Panpan
October 9, 2000!
…
The content of the letter was not very long, only two short pages, simply reporting on the study and life situation in recent times.
However, this just shows that Huang Panpan put all her energy into studying, so she did not spend too much time writing letters.
Moreover, she sent letters to Su Zelin every week without interruption.
In addition to the letter, there was also a red bean inside.
The exquisite dice and red beans, do you know how deeply I miss you
There was no mention of any longing between the lines; the girl placed all her thoughts on this tiny red bean.
For many girls, first love always comes so inexplicably.
Maybe he is a boy with good character and academic performance, and he is humble to others. You silently look at his back in class, and you feel admiration for him for no reason.
Maybe it’s an athlete on the basketball court. You helped him pick up a ball. He nodded and smiled at you. The bright sunshine on his sweaty face brightened your eyes.
Maybe it’s the handsome deskmate you were assigned to by chance. He is gentle, considerate, and thoughtful, and always takes good care of you.
It could even be an accidental encounter in an Internet cafe, where he sits next to you and chases away the thugs who were harassing you, thus ruining your life.
…
After reading the letter, Su Zelin's heart was slightly moved. After a long time, he put the letter and the red bean back into the envelope and put them in the drawer of the computer desk.
There were also several letters inside, all from my junior high school sisters.
It seems that Huang Panpan is really focused on studying, just like in her previous life.
I don’t know where she got my dormitory address from in her previous life, but she kept sending me letters.
However, I never replied to any of those letters.
Looking back, Hunzi felt very sorry.
I was really cold and heartless to Huang Panpan in my previous life. She was so pitiful at that time.
Su Zelin took out a stack of letter paper.
Now, every time he receives a letter from his junior high school sister, he will reply as soon as possible.
In addition to sharing some interesting campus life and experiences with her, more importantly, I provided encouragement.
The letter was written in a short time. When Su Zelin stuffed it into the envelope, he also put a few dry red maple leaves in it.
He mentioned to his junior high school classmate that there were many beautiful red maple leaves planted beside the artificial lake. Later, Huang Panpan requested in a letter that a few of them could be sent to the No. 2 Middle School so that she could also feel the autumn atmosphere of the Finance College.
It was not difficult to meet this small request, so one time when Su Zelin was passing by the artificial lake during class, he picked up a few photos and made them into specimens, and took the opportunity to send them to her while replying to the letter.
He sealed the envelope, wrote the sender and recipient's addresses and both parties' addresses on it, affixed stamps, and then ran downstairs and arrived at the campus gate in a flash.
Lao Feng is responsible for collecting and mailing letters, but he only makes the trip once a day at noon. He has already been to the mailroom today, and will have to wait until tomorrow to help with the mailing.
Su Zelin could imagine the eagerness of the junior high school girl to receive a reply, which would even become her motivation to study actively, so Hunzi would usually reply on the same day and deliver the letter personally.
Put the letter into the green mailbox not far from the school gate.
This method of communication seems very ancient to a reborn person like Su Zelin, but it is quite ritualistic compared to communicating via mobile phone.
In his previous life, the gangster had almost never written letters, let alone to Huang Panpan.
However, his mentality has changed a lot in this life.
Panpan, come on!
…
A few days later, Dai Chuangxing, vice president of the School of Finance, was sitting on the sofa at home, feeling very puzzled.
Three days ago, when he returned home at noon, he found that there was a new 29-inch Philips large-screen color TV in the living room, and a floor-standing air conditioner was also installed.
When asked about it, his wife Kang Yulian happily said that he was pretending and bought this big color TV for the family at a digital shopping mall without telling her. She also praised him for his good luck, saying that he got the TV and even won the mall's first prize in the lottery, a floor-standing air conditioner.
At first Dai Chuangxing thought that someone had delivered the appliance to the wrong place, but when he saw his name on the invoice, he understood a little bit.
He was given a treat!
The man who offered the benefit was very smart. He knew that the woman would not accept it and would definitely be rejected if he offered it in person, so he found his lover.
Although Dai Chuangxing is incorruptible, his wife is more realistic and snobbish. Kang Yulian always complains that he is useless as a vice president, and everyone else seizes the opportunity to make money, but he sits in this position but does not know how to benefit himself.
So the mysterious man started with his lover, and while he was not at home, he came over and installed the TV and air conditioner in the name of purchasing them from a shopping mall and winning a lottery.
This became a very headache for Dai Chuangxing.
He disliked this gift-giving behavior, but his lover did not, and often encouraged him to do favors for others and make some money.
"Old Dai, this color TV is really big and colorful. It is so much more comfortable to watch TV series than the old color TV. I don't have to worry about my old eyes not being able to see clearly!"
Kang Yulian was watching TV happily at this moment.
Dai Chuangxing could see that his wife really liked this big color TV.
If he took it down and gave it back to someone else, Kang Yulian would probably have a huge argument with him.
Vice President Dai didn’t know what to do for a moment, so he decided to wait and see the situation first.
The person who installed the electrical appliances last time left a few words before leaving. He will visit again at noon today to conduct a user experience feedback survey.
Dai Chuangxing knew that all the user experience feedback surveys were fake and the real culprit would appear today.
So he returned home early at noon, waiting for the mysterious man to arrive.
“Ding Dong Ding Dong…”
The doorbell rang.
“Here it comes!”
Kang Yulian walked over in slippers to open the door, and smiled when she saw the person coming.
"Xiao Su, you're here!"
The visitor was none other than the young man who had come with the installers a few days ago. He was young and handsome, and although he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he was very eloquent. Kang Yulian really thought that her lover had won the lottery, so her attitude was very nice.
Later, after Dai Chuangxing came back, he realized that this was not the case.
Although she was cheated, Kang Yulian was not angry at all.
After all, this is a white lie!
This big color TV and floor-standing air conditioner cost at least seven or eight thousand yuan.
My lover is too honest. He doesn't know how to use his power. Others simply come to him on their own initiative. How sensible he is!
Thinking of this, Kang Yulian's smile became even kinder.
"Auntie, I'm so sorry to bother you again!"
Su Zelin said with a smile.
"How can I disturb you? My lover and I are fine at home. Xiao Su, you came just in time. We are just about to have dinner. Come over and have something to eat with us!"
Knowing that the color TV and air conditioner were gifts from others, Kang Yulian specially prepared a sumptuous lunch today to entertain them and show her hospitality.
"Auntie, how can this be so embarrassing!"
Su Zelin said "shyly".
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Auntie and you hit it off right away, and you must have worked hard to come all the way here!"
Kang Yulian dragged Su Zelin into the dining room without any explanation. Even without the gangster taking the initiative, the vice-president's wife also wanted to get close to him.
He was so generous to spend seven or eight thousand yuan. There must be a generous rich person behind this guy. It would definitely not be a bad thing to get to know him better.
Of course, Kang Yulian never expected that Su Zelin was the real culprit.
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so the gangster didn't refuse.
When I arrived at the dining room, I saw Dai Chuangxing who was already waiting there.
Although he learned from his wife that there was a very talkative young man who accompanied the staff to install the device three days ago, Vice President Dai was still slightly stunned when he saw Su Zelin.
How come it was this young man who came, and he was the only one here
Could it be that the real person behind this doesn't want to show up and wants to do things through this young man
"Old Dai, this is the Xiao Su I told you about!"
Kang Yulian took the initiative to introduce.
"Hello, Vice President Dai!"
Su Zelin nodded slightly at him.
In fact, he was not unfamiliar with this vice president.
To be precise, it was not unfamiliar in the previous life.
Before his rebirth, Su Zelin founded his own company and became a big boss and billionaire. He was invited back to his alma mater as a student representative to speak at school anniversaries many times. He donated more than 10 million yuan in total. He had a high status and had a good relationship with many school leaders.
His department was managed by Dai Chuangxing, so he had more contact with him. On several occasions when Vice Dean Dai went to Shenghai, Su Zelin also gave him a warm welcome, so they were quite familiar with each other. Therefore, Hunzi knew very well that he was an incorruptible person. However, he had a big weakness, which was his lover.
This information is very useful to him.
Hunzi never does things the usual way, just like his personality. Following the rules is not Su Zelin's style, but his methods are usually the most direct and effective.
For example, by establishing a relationship with Dai Chuangxing this time, it will be much more convenient to start a business or do other things in the School of Finance in the future.
In fact, even if he had not shown up, under Kang Yulian's constant instigation, Dai Chuangxing would have put aside his noble character and used his power to make some money, but he just made all this happen earlier.
"Hey, Xiao Su, you don't have to be polite. Since you call me Auntie, you can just call my love Uncle Dai!"
Kang Yulian took the initiative to close the distance between the two.
“Let’s eat first!”
Dai Chuangxing said calmly.
"Your uncle Dai doesn't like to talk much, Xiao Su, don't mind it!"
"Haha, how could that be!"
"… "
While eating lunch, Dai Chuangxing secretly observed Su Zelin.
Then he discovered one thing: his lover was not exaggerating, this young man was really good at talking.
Even though it was only the second time he met Kang Yulian, he was not at all restrained as a guest at the dinner table. He spoke appropriately and gracefully. He was able to speak eloquently on any topic, which made his lover very happy. He was lively but not excessive, just the right amount so as not to overshadow the main topic.
Such guests are hard to fail to be welcome wherever they go.
Dai Chuangxing was originally a little upset and annoyed that he was acted upon without his permission and was forced to accept gifts, but now he found it difficult to get angry in front of this young man.
Suddenly, an absurd thought popped up in my mind. Could this young man be the real mastermind behind this
After having lunch in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, Dai Chuangxing said, "Xiao Su, come to my study and have a cup of tea."
Kang Yulian knew that the two of them had serious matters to discuss and that a woman should not interfere, so she went to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the study, Dai Chuangxing asked directly: "What do you want to say? Just say it!"
Vice President Dai has made up his mind.
My wife is absolutely unwilling to return the big color TV and air conditioner.
If the other party wants to do something that violates the principle, that is absolutely impossible. The most you can do is buy it with your own money.
Since Dai Chuangxing came straight to the point, Su Zelin didn't waste any time.
"Vice President Dai, this is what I mean. I'm a freshman in the Finance Management Class 1 of the Finance College."
"I have a cousin who saw that many college students in the School of Finance had poor family conditions and could not afford to buy computers. Some graduating students even had to go to Internet cafes all day while doing their graduation projects. So he wanted to invest in a digital store on campus and rent computers to those graduating seniors at a reasonable price!"
To put it bluntly, I just want to make money on campus, but if I want others to help me legitimately, I have to find a good reason to do so.
Dai Chuangxing thought to himself, you have a shitty uncle, you must be that uncle!
However, he was still a little surprised when he heard Su Zelin confess that he was a freshman in the School of Finance.
This guy is so bold that he dares to use such means to confront the university and directly bribe the leaders of the college.
Looks like a rich second generation.
"You want to open a computer store? There's one in the school, and they're planning to sell it. I should be able to take it over at a relatively low price."
Dai Chuangxing responded casually.
"My relative has taken over that shop, but it's not enough. He hopes to help more students from poor families. In addition to those prospective graduates who can't afford computers to do their graduation projects, he can also provide some poor students with work-study opportunities. So he hopes to rent those idle shops and expand them!"
Dai Chuangxing was surprised: "You want all the shops on that piece of land? Er, I mean your relatives."
If all the shops are taken over, it will be at least 200 square meters. This is not a small computer store.
"Yes!"
Su Zelin nodded seriously.
"Your relative's idea is good, but I have to remind you that doing computer business in the Finance Institute is not a good choice. The previous shops were all engaged in computer and accessories business, and they all closed down later!"
Dai Chuangxing thought that it might just be the momentary effort of the rich second generation, so he tried to persuade him kindly.
"Vice President Dai, thank you for your reminder. I am very clear about these things, but I personally think that the computer market in the Finance Institute is not small. Those shops can't continue to operate mainly because of their own reasons!"
As he spoke, Su Zelin took out a document from his canvas bag: "This is my relative's investment plan. Please review it, Vice President Dai."
Dai Chuangxing took it and looked at it for a few seconds, his eyes widened.
This is an extremely detailed investment plan!
Including the capital investment of each project, decoration planning and construction progress, the number of employees to be recruited, etc. ... and even attached multiple design sketches.
It is dozens of pages long and covers almost all the details of all matters, big and small. This is not a business plan that can be written by a rich second-generation person just for fun!
Moreover, although it is a commercial enterprise, the names of the projects linked to the Finance Institute are very attractive.
The idle shops are put to good use to generate income for the college.
We rent out computers at low prices to help prospective graduates who cannot afford to buy computers to do their graduation projects.
Provide work-study opportunities for poor students.
Provide internship opportunities for students who are interested in social practice.
…
The benefits to the School of Finance are emphasized throughout the article.
I clearly know that the other party’s main purpose of making money is to sell computers.
However, Dai Chuangxing had to admit that if this business plan was implemented, it would indeed solve some problems existing on campus.
In other words, he has found a plausible excuse for your approval.
This matter does not violate the principle.
The leaders of the School of Finance will more or less control a part of the business field on campus.
The department with the most profits, such as the canteen, is the exclusive domain of the dean, and no one else can get involved. However, some other industries, such as small supermarkets, milk tea shops, laundries, clothing stores, and sporting goods stores, are distributed to other people.
Dai Chuangxing is a clean-handed person who has never been involved in any conflicts over interests. If he proposed to renovate a few warehouses and rent them out, other leaders would definitely give him face and agree.
Besides, the location was not that good, and the previous computer shop was about to close down. There was no profit at all. Who would be so bored as to not do him a favor
It’s not a big problem to get it approved.
However, Dai Chuangxing was very cautious: "Are you sure you really want to take over a few shops? According to your plan, the money you need to invest is quite considerable. I think it will be at least 100,000!"
Just the decoration alone for a shop of more than 200 square meters would cost tens of thousands. Add on the stocking of goods and other miscellaneous items, a rough estimate of a starting price of 100,000 is still the most conservative.
"It's okay. My cousin has prepared enough money. To open a store like this, the scale must be large enough. A small-scale operation will not do!"
Su Zelin was confident: "Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!"
This favorable wind came from Dai Chuangxing's words, allowing him to sign the shop contract.
