School of Finance campus, faculty and staff dormitory.
Nowadays, Su Zelin has become a frequent visitor to Dai Chuangxing's home. Kang Yulian would ask him to come over for dinner whenever she had time. As long as the vice president's wife invited him, the gangster would also give him face and would come whenever he was called, without any hesitation.
Kang Baohong was also called over. He was Kang Yulian's nephew and confidant, and also the bridge connecting the interests of Su Zelin and the vice president's family, so he had closer contacts with his aunt.
Kang Baohong had already resigned from his job at the Internet cafe and rented a house near the college, which would be more convenient in the future.
"Baohong, Xiao Su asked you to supervise the shop, you have to keep a close eye on the decoration team and ensure the quality. If no one is watching, some decoration masters will do a perfunctory job!"
The vice president's family was not used to eating quietly, they always chatted while eating, so Kang Yulian started talking about business.
"Of course I know, aunt, don't worry. Anyway, I don't have much to do now. I'm almost always in the store. By the way, Boss Su's design is too good. Now that the store has been renovated, the effect is immediately reflected. As long as you walk into the store, you will feel comfortable!"
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Kang Baohong already admired this young boss very much and found that he did things completely differently from ordinary people.
Dai Chuangxing nodded slightly: "I passed by the store yesterday and took a look inside. It is indeed nice, simple and elegant. Many students will be interested in the decoration."
When Su Zelin first found him, Vice President Dai thought it was just some rich second-generation kid's nonsense.
But later, the freshman gave him a plan of dozens of pages, and Dai Chuangxing realized that things were not that simple.
As he came into more and more contact with Su Zelin, Vice President Dai discovered that this young man was not only courageous, but also had ideas and courage, and he also had a long-term vision and a careful mind, which gave him confidence in the digital store that was about to open.
What he couldn't understand was why a young boy acted like a veteran.
Su Zelin thought to himself that my decoration plan was completely based on the big-name experience stores of later generations, such as Fruit, Huawei, Rice, and the specifications of the blue and green factories more than ten years later. I don’t know how much more advanced they are than this era. It would be strange if it was not good.
Seeing that her husband was also satisfied with the decoration of the store, Kang Yulian was even happier. Whether this store could be successful was related to her own money.
"Of course not. There are so many students who come to the store to see it. They are all very interested and ask when it will open!"
Kang Baohong was very excited. He felt that digital stores had great potential and he could also make a difference.
After having dinner in a pleasant atmosphere and chatting about the store, Su Zelin suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Vice President Dai, there is a girl in our class whose family is very poor and lives in the countryside. Her parents are farmers with little education and make a living by growing a few plots of land and selling vegetables. She has several younger sisters and brothers, so it is not easy to support her to go to college."
"This girl is also very sensible. In order to reduce the pressure on her family, she washes dishes at the snack street every night. This part-time job is not only tiring, but she often comes home late at night and doesn't get a good rest."
"I think one of the original intentions of establishing this store was to provide assistance to poor students from poor families on campus and give them part-time job opportunities."
At this point, Su Zelin asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Vice President Dai, what do you think about recruiting her?"
Kang Baohong was puzzled, thinking that Boss Su really needed to discuss such matters with his uncle. It was just a part-time job, and he had the final say.
However, Vice President Dai heard the hidden meaning behind Su Zelin's words.
He could have kept silent about this matter. After all, he was only getting some profit from the shares and had no power or intention to interfere in other people's business affairs.
However, Su Zelin brought it up deliberately, obviously with other purposes.
Vice President Dai quickly figured out the reason.
The scholarship application channel in the college was opened a few days ago.
This guy is trying to find ways to get me to help his female classmate, using roundabout ways.
Vice President Dai was a little speechless.
If it were any other leader, they would go through a lot of detours to ask for help, but this kid is barely eighteen years old, yet he's so slick in his words and actions.
"It's really not easy for you, my classmate. You own the store, so you are the one who makes the decisions, but..."
Dai Chuangxing changed his tone and said, "The college has set up scholarships for some poor students. Ask her to apply and submit as much information as possible. Maybe she can meet the requirements."
Su Zelin asked for help, and Vice President Dai responded very tactfully.
Even if you submit an application, it seems that you may not get it, it depends on luck.
"Okay, no matter if it works or not, I'd like to thank Vice President Dai first!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly and understood.
Dai Chuangxing is in charge of the scholarship quotas for students in the department, and he has the final say on who to give the scholarships to.
With these words, Liu Wanyin's scholarship was secure.
…
On the second day's public class, the two groups, boys from group 302 and girls from group 501, sat in the front and back rows as usual.
"Hey, the computer store on campus is almost finished with its renovation. It's so beautiful. Have you noticed it?"
The smallest girl among the girls, Tian Yuxuan, was the first to bring up the topic.
"Yes, that's right. Many people have come to see it. They all say that it's not only well renovated, but it's also been expanded a lot. The previously abandoned warehouses have all been incorporated into it!"
"Yes, I also saw it on the BBS. Feng Yin Chen Ming posted a lot of photos. The environment is really good. Even if I am not ready to buy a computer yet, I will definitely go and take a look when it opens!"
"It's such a big building, and the decoration is so meticulous. It must have taken a lot of investment. I wonder which big boss out there did it!"
"By the way, the store has started recruiting. They said they want to find some part-time workers from the school. The time arrangement is relatively flexible, and poor students are given priority!"
"… "
The girls were chattering about something related to the digital store.
The renovation is about to be completed, and many students have found that the old computer shop has changed. The small shop that was previously run by only the shopkeeper has become bright and spacious, and the decoration is very stylish.
In addition, Teacher Su took a Casio to take a bunch of high-definition photos and posted them on the campus BBS, which attracted a lot of people to watch, and the female moderator Li Yanru also marked them as featured.
This made the digital store popular before it even opened, and it became a hot topic on campus early on.
"Girls, may I have a word?"
The gangster coughed dryly, interrupting several girls.
"What are you doing?"
Toffee turned around.
"Toffee, do you want to apply for the job too?"
While asking, Su Zelin thought to himself that with Naitang's broad mind, he should be able to attract a lot of customers.
"No, I just happened to see it when I passed by there today, so I just mentioned it by the way!"
Milk tea's answer made Su Zelin feel a little regretful, as if he had lost tens of millions in an instant.
"By the way, the posts posted by Feng Yin Chen Ming on the campus BBS are quite literary and coquettish. He also has great photography skills and the photos he takes are very beautiful. Class monitor, his style is really similar to yours. Could it be you?"
As soon as Ding Lina asked this question, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Su Zelin.
Wow, Nanako's intuition is quite sharp. She actually saw through it.
Su Zelin was a little surprised, but said calmly: "How is that possible? I'm not that bored. As a squad leader, I'm very busy. Who has time to run around with a camera taking pictures all day long?"
"Come on, you are still busy. There is no monitor in the entire Finance College who is more free than you. You let the deputy monitor do everything. Sooner or later, Ah Xi will be ruined by you!"
The jelly from 501 was outraged.
Luo Xi: “…”
This joke is really not going to work.
…
After class, Su Zelin asked everyone else to leave first, and he stayed to chat with Luo Xi privately.
These two people often do private work, and everyone is used to it.
"Ah Xi, that digital store is about to open. I've also noticed it. Wanyin's part-time job there should be quite good. The environment of the store is elegant, and the part-time hours are flexible. You don't have to work until midnight. The boss should be a rich man, and probably a handsome guy..."
Luo Xi: “?”
I believe you when you say he is rich, but how do you know he is a handsome guy
Su Zelin coughed dryly: "Anyway, I think I'm quite used to Wanyin. The store will be officially recruiting part-time workers in the next few days. Have you talked to Wanyin and asked her to go for the interview?"
"We have discussed it!"
Luo Xi nodded, but said worriedly: "But Wanyin said she didn't plan to apply for the job."
"Why?"
Su Zelin frowned.
"She was a little scared, saying that the competition for such a good store was too fierce, and with her eloquence and qualifications, she had no chance of being selected!"
Luo Xi felt a little helpless.
This girl actually has a bit of inferiority complex in her heart.
The shop was decorated very tastefully, and it was expected that there would be many applicants. She even felt that she was not worthy of being a part-time worker.
"How could that be? Wanyin is pretty good. She's good-looking and hardworking. Besides, didn't the recruitment notice say that poor students are preferred? She has a lot of advantages, right?"
Su Zelin didn't understand.
"I have advised Wanyin in this way, but she just doesn't dare to go. She said that she is too dumb to talk and will only make a fool of herself. Oh, I don't know what to do!"
Luo Xi talked to Liu Wanyin several times, but she was at a loss.
Su Zelin lowered his head and stopped talking.
Hunzi felt that this was not as simple as inferiority complex.
Lu Haoran also has a bit of low self-esteem, but he also actively participates in volunteer activities on campus.
What's more, Liu Wanyi really needs this part-time job. There is no reason for her to not even dare to go for an interview because of her inferiority complex. There must be other reasons.
Luo Xi knew him very well. Su Zelin's brain was working at high speed at this moment, so it was best not to disturb him.
After a while, Su Zelin looked up and seemed to have found the answer: "Well, I know, Wanyin must be a little socially anxious!"
"Social phobia?"
Luo Xi was at a loss.
This term has not appeared on the Internet yet, and she has never heard of it.
"It's social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder!"
Su Zelin explained: "The symptoms are fear of being scrutinized in a small group. Once they find that others are paying attention to them, they will feel unnatural all over. They dare not raise their heads or look people in the eye. They may even feel ashamed and dare not speak in public. They will refuse to sit in a prominent position at gatherings!"
"Yes, yes, that's true. Wanyin is like this. She always sits in the corner during class and doesn't talk much to the people in the dormitory!"
Luo Xi nodded vigorously, thinking that the description of Su Zelin as a socially phobic person was quite apt.
"To be more serious, this is a mental illness that usually occurs in introverted and self-deprecating young people between the ages of seventeen and thirty!"
"The common fear objects of social phobia are the opposite sex and superiors, which may be accompanied by signs of low self-esteem and fear of criticism!"
Su Zelin's words made Luo Xi suddenly enlightened.
"Really? I've never seen Wanyin talk to a boy on her own initiative. She hides when others talk to her. At first I thought she was just shy, but I always felt something was wrong. It turns out that this is a symptom of social phobia!"
In fact, Su Zelin, the director of the Women's Federation in the class, had long felt that Liu Wanyin was a little strange, but he had never paid much attention to it, nor did he connect her condition with social phobia.
It was not until the girl was unwilling to apply for the job that Su Zelin thought about it carefully and realized that there was a problem.
"So Wanyin would rather go to the snack street to do odd jobs, wash dishes in the kitchen, and do hard work, because she doesn't need to interact with too many people!"
Su Zelin continued his analysis.
"But working in a computer store is different. She has to face her boss, colleagues and customers directly. As a socially anxious person, she will subconsciously choose to escape. So when you asked Wanyin to apply for the job, she wouldn't dare to do it!"
After a pause, he continued, "Wanyin's problem cannot be underestimated. If social phobia develops seriously, it may even lead to social isolation and depression!"
"What should we do then?"
Luo Xi was frightened.
"Wouldn't this have a huge impact on Wanyin's life and her job search after graduation?"
“That’s right!”
Su Zelin nodded seriously.
"So how can we help her?"
Luo Xi was at a loss.
Su Zelin hesitated for a moment: "Social phobia is troublesome, but it is not completely impossible to overcome. However, it depends on whether you are willing to spend more time helping Wanyin!"
"Of course I am willing. I am both the deputy monitor and Wanyin's good friend. As long as I can help her, I will do anything you ask me to do!"
Luo Xi said without thinking.
"In order to help Wanyin overcome her social phobia, she needs to try to integrate into society, get used to socializing, and build up social confidence. It's important to have friendly friends around her, especially friends she trusts, like you. You need to interact with her more and encourage her more!"
Su Zelin also knows something about social phobia, although his is the opposite type - social agnosticism.
"Okay, that's no problem. I'll try to chat with her more often!"
Luo Xi nodded.
"Just chatting a few more times is not enough. You have to treat her as your good friend, the kind of close friend. Such people don't have many friends, but they value each one very much, and the friends around them have a great influence on them!"
What Su Zelin said was not without scientific basis, and facts also proved that he had influenced Lu Haoran.
"In addition, you can also give her a small gift that she can carry with her, such as a doll keychain. Because when a socially anxious person faces strangers alone and feels nervous, he or she will want to hold something in his or her hand. If it is a small gift from a friend that can accompany him or her, it can also relieve his or her stress!"
"How do you know so much?"
Luo Xi admired him very much.
She found that this idiot squad leader was really knowledgeable, and he knew a lot about everything, local customs, social phenomena, political current affairs, and management...
There are also some seemingly obscure things, such as social phobia, which she has never heard of, but Su Zelin knows about it and can say a lot of things about it, and they sound very reasonable.
Su Zelin smiled slightly: "Books contain golden houses and beautiful women. Just read more books when you have time!"
He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made a difficult decision.
"Well, I have to do something. I'll go to the computer store for an interview and see if I can work part-time with Wanyin. If she thinks she knows someone she works with, she might be willing to go for the interview!"
"Really? Are you willing to accompany Wanyin to work part-time?"
Luo Xi's eyes lit up.
This is a good way, maybe even the best way.
Liu Wanyin may not be used to talking to other boys and feel uncomfortable with the opposite sex, but this is not the case when facing Su Zelin.
This squad leader is very down-to-earth, has no airs, has a smooth tongue, and speaks in a witty and humorous way. Wherever he is, the atmosphere is always relaxed.
Moreover, he understands female psychology very well, and the nickname of Director of the Women's Federation is not given for nothing.
Normally, Su Zelin would occasionally chat with other girls in the class, and had talked with Liu Wanyin several times. At least Luo Xi didn't see that Liu Wanyin felt uncomfortable when talking to him.
But the class beauty didn't expect that Su Zelin was willing to sacrifice his precious time and accompany Liu Wanyin to work part-time in the computer store.
You have to know that he is not short of money, and he can even be barely considered a rich second-generation. This can be seen from his usual clothes, guitar, digital camera and Sony Walkman. These things are not what ordinary families would buy for their children.
Su Zelin nodded and said, "That's right. If a person with social anxiety has a reliable, outgoing and lively friend, she will feel more at ease even in public!"
In fact, honest people also have some social anxiety, but it is very mild.
So when he acts alone, he is always at a loss and wishes his best friend was always by his side.
Such people will also be at a loss when facing the opposite sex. For example, except for Xiaoyanzi and Qin Shiqing, who he was very familiar with, Xiaokeai would blush and tremble when talking to other girls in high school. During the summer vacation, he served as a wingman for Su Zelin and stuttered when reciting lines to a strange network administrator girl. He could not even finish a sentence.
The same goes for Liu Wanyin. At the beginning, she also showed symptoms of social phobia in front of Su Zelin, because Su Zelin is both a member of the opposite sex and the class monitor, and these two identities would put pressure on a girl with social phobia.
However, the director of the Women's Federation knew how to read girls' minds so well that she boiled the frog in warm water and gradually caught the snake while it was still open. Gradually, Liu Wanyin felt that this squad leader was quite good and she got used to meeting and talking with him.
"If we were hired at the same time and worked in the same store, Wanyin wouldn't be so anxious when serving customers. This part-time job is actually a good training for her. Over time, maybe Wanyin will be able to overcome her social anxiety and gradually integrate into society!"
Su Zelin stated his plan in one breath.
"Monitor, have you thought it through? If you want to do this part-time job, you will have to sacrifice a lot of your time and energy!"
Luo Xi asked.
"Think it through. I understand everything you said! But, who made me the monitor of the Finance Management Class 1? Of course I have to protect everyone in the class. If Liu Wanyin has something wrong, how can I just ignore it!"
Su Zelin patted his chest loudly, looking very righteous.
If anyone in the class, especially the girls, encounters difficulties, I, Su, will never sit idly by!
At this moment, the gangster seemed to be emitting a divine light, so dazzling.
Luo Xi was instantly moved.
He is not a squad leader who does nothing. Others have misunderstood him.
Little did he know that the gangster had already had such a plan.
As the real boss of this digital store, I can't just operate behind the scenes, especially since the store has just opened, I still have to do a lot of things myself.
However, Su Zelin does not want others to know that he is the owner of a digital store.
After all, he has only been a freshman and has just become the class monitor, but he is already spending all his energy on doing business. Even if he can ensure that he studies, manages the class and makes money, it will be difficult to explain to his class teacher.
So after careful consideration, Su Zelin decided not to reveal this identity for the time being, and only let Dai Chuangxing, Kang Yulian and Kang Baohong know about it.
If there is anyone else, it would be the former owner of the used computer store. However, after that person got the money, he left the School of Finance and went to do other business outside the school. We may not meet each other again in the future.
After freshman year, everything has settled down and it won’t matter if I’m exposed.
Before this, Su Zelin planned to just be the store manager in name only. If it was just a part-time job, the head teacher Yao Hui and the counselor Wu Zhirong would not have any objection.
Moreover, I am also helping Liu Wanyin, a girl in the class who has social phobia, to overcome her difficulties and integrate into the society in a legitimate way, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Class monitor, if you and Wanyin go to the computer store to apply for the job together, she will definitely be able to muster up the courage to go for the interview, and I will feel relieved!"
Luo Xi said with great joy.
"The only question now is whether she can be hired!"
"It's okay, don't worry, I've calculated it for her, it's definitely OK!"
Su Zelin chuckled.
"But if this happens, I won't have time to take care of the class affairs. Ah Xi, you will have to take care of me in the future!"
The gangster found another good excuse to be a hands-off boss.
"It doesn't matter, I just need to do more!"
The class beauty patted Xiong Da.
The class monitor is so loyal that he sacrificed his precious spare time to accompany Liu Wanyin to work part-time in the computer store.
As the deputy monitor, I naturally have to be his solid backing so that the monitor has no worries!
Su Zelin smiled secretly in his heart.
Ah Xi, Ah Xi, you are still a little immature, very silly and naive.
I was sold out by my brother and now I have to help count the money!
"Oh, that's right!"
At this moment, he remembered something: "Have you submitted Wanyin's scholarship application?"
Luo Xi shook her head: "Not yet. There is still some time before the application channel is closed. I am thinking about how to write a better one for her so that it will be easier for the hospital to approve it."
Su Zelin smiled and said, "Don't make it so troublesome. Simply write an application and submit it as soon as possible. Attach as much supporting information as possible!"
Luo Xi was doing this for Liu Wanyin's own good, fearing that her application would not be accepted. But she was worrying too much and there was no need to waste time on this.
After all, Dai Chuangxing has already agreed to help, so this issue is not a problem.
Even if there are few places in the department, Liu Wanyin will definitely get a scholarship.
"Uh, I know!"
The class beauty was slightly startled.
For some reason, when it came to Liu Wanyin's scholarship application and part-time job, she always felt that the squad leader was very confident and that she could definitely succeed in both.
Even the application process for financial aid has been simplified.
Is it really just a matter of counting on one's fingers, or is there something else going on
They chatted all the way to the fork in the road between the men's and women's dormitories, and then they parted ways.
After saying goodbye to Luo Xi, Su Zelin took out his Nokia 8210 and dialed a number: "Hello, Baohong? In a few days, I will go to interview for a part-time job with a female classmate. It's the poor student mentioned before..."
…
