Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

"Brother Zhou, you have no idea how damn shady these bastards at the school are. Fucking hell, those wedding jobs pay us a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty, but when it gets to those senior students in second or third year, they’re outsourcing it to us for just ninety or a hundred. Lucky I’m smart and checked, or we would’ve been screwed!"

By this point, Liu Shuo was so pissed off that his teeth itched, and then he went on, "Everyone thinks you’re capable, Brother Zhou, so they sent me to ask if you have any decent part-time gigs."

"..."

Zhou Yuwen couldn’t hold back and lashed out at Liu Shuo, "You motherfucker think I’m some kind of employment agency? Where the hell am I supposed to get that kind of power?"

Liu Shuo simply bowed his head and took the scolding, "Yes, yes, Brother Zhou, my bad for acting like a big shot."

"But Brother Zhou, you really gotta help a brother out. I’ve promised them already, and if I don’t find them a good job, the reputation of our Xianlin University Town society is trashed."

"Bullshit Xianlin University Town society!"

Zhou Yuwen was speechless but with no other choice. Fortunately, in his past life, he had some connections in Jinling. While he might not be able to find top-tier gigs, he should be able to find some as security guards or handing out flyers.

After cussing out Liu Shuo, Zhou Yuwen asked him how many people were in on it.

"Fifty people!"

"How many?"

"Fifty!"

"Liu Shuo, you’re a fucking legend!"

"Heh, it’s all thanks to your big name, Brother Zhou!"

"Get lost!"

The male student population at Liu Shuo’s school was already high, and everyone wanted to make a bit of pocket money with part-time jobs.

Liu Shuo was the type of guy who, regardless of how capable he was, couldn’t afford to lose face—he started by showing off in his own class, and before you knew it, students from other classes heard that Liu Shuo from Mechanical and Electrical Class II had the hook-ups. They all came running over, offering a cigarette, "Bro, I’m from Xianlin too, a hometown fellow.

I’m not going home for the National Day holiday, can you hook me up with a part-time job?"

They were already offering cigarettes to him.

How could he lose face after that?

"Sure, sure, no problem," he said.

Liu Shuo had ridden a wave of popularity during the month’s military training, going out to eat and drink lavishly with his friends every day. He wasn’t lacking money; it was all about face for him. He also got into a few conflicts with others during military training.

After telling Liu Shuo off, Zhou Yuwen still couldn’t just refuse to help and said, "Alright, I’ll get in touch for you."

Thankfully, in his past life, he had done some similar work and knew a few reliable recruiting agencies. He called up the number from the official website, pretending to be casual, "Hello? Is this Manager Sun?"

"I want to inquire if you have any events needing security guards coming up?"

"I’ve got plenty of staff available. How many do you need? They’re clean and all university students." Zhou Yuwen was still in his car when he made this call, not yet back at the dorm.

Over the National Day holiday, there were quite a few events in Jinling, like store openings that needed costumed characters to attract business in malls and temporary security for expos or car shows. These sporadic gigs, aside from recruiting in social QQ groups, most reliably sought student labor. Of course, these gigs don’t go to individuals.

Each school has one or two students acting like pimps, bridging deals. However, such scattered pimps can’t always be depended on.

Someone like Zhou Yuwen who openly boasts a large workforce is a rare catch. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And when asked how many people he had, Zhou Yuwen said he had as many as they needed.

"It’s like this. I represent the joint student council of Xianlin University Town. Our organization mainly helps students find stable, safe part-time jobs. I heard about your company offering such opportunities through a referral and decided to get in touch."

"Oh, I see, hello, hello. How about we add each other on WeChat for details?" Manager Sun immediately did not want to neglect a big deal when he heard it. He had never heard of this joint student council and didn’t care much, but he knew that the other party must have a stable labor force, and it wasn’t a one-time transaction.

That means big business, and Manager Sun definitely didn’t want to miss it. Explore hidden tales at empire

Their side was indeed short on security staff. Manager Sun had already contacted several student agents, but these agents were too scattered, bringing in just three or five people each. If he could solve everything at once through Zhou Yuwen, that would be ideal.

They couldn’t get enough guards for October 1st, but from the 2nd to the 5th, they needed twenty security guards, a daily wage of a hundred yuan, with lunch included. "Brother, you see any problems with that?"

"No problems. Got any other jobs?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"Seriously, brother, how many people do you have on your end?" Manager Sun laughed.

Zhou Yuwen stated they had a lot of people, "You just arrange as needed, Brother Sun."

So Manager Sun found a few more security jobs and some mascot roles in malls that paid well but were tiring. Handing out flyers was more relaxed but offered lower pay.

Zhou Yuwen noted down all these gigs in a notebook and said, "Alright, Brother Sun, let me discuss it with the others and have someone contact you soon."

"Eh, sure, I’ll wait for your call." Manager Sun was still quite excited; with so many people, he could make five hundred in a day just by taking ten yuan a head—it was money for nothing.

After hanging up with Manager Sun, Zhou Yuwen called Liu Shuo again. Only then did he enter the dormitory.

Li Qiang saw Zhou Yuwen come in and wanted to chat, but seeing Zhou Yuwen signal that he was on the phone, he went to the balcony.

Chang Hao initially thought Zhou Yuwen was on the phone with Zheng Yanyan, but he overheard something about starting a labor agency, which left him puzzled.
