Chapter 30

The middle-aged manager was astonished for a moment by Hansheng’s bold question. He put down his pen and looked at Chen Hansheng seriously. “You want to steal someone’s position?”

These words were nice to say but not nice to hear. Chen Hansheng smiled and ignored him. He picked up a stack of newspapers and fanned the dust on the stool, then sat down carefreely.

“I just want to make money. What’s there to steal?”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded in agreement. “Student, you’re a little strange. You’re still a freshman, right?”

Chen Hansheng did not see the need to hide anything as he admitted generously.

“And judging from your clothes, your family isn’t in a bad financial position either. So why do you need to take a part-time job?”

This middle-aged man might not have much education, but he had been dealing with people for a long time. His eyes were sharp, and he was able to form a rough idea of Chen Hansheng at a glance.

“It’s just a part-time job. Why make things so complicated? This isn’t a national defense company. Do you want to investigate the three generations of my family too?”

Chen Hansheng was not afraid to speak for himself as he took out a cigarette and threw it over.

The middle-aged man took the cigarette, looked at the brand, and lit it up. “That’s why I said you’re a little strange. You’re young but you’re already such an eloquent speaker. But you have to understand. I can’t simply swap agents just because you asked for it. In fact, several students from your school have already looked for me.”

But Chen Hansheng stood his ground.

The manager continued, “I’ve picked the most suitable agent from among the students from your school and the business is doing well now. There are an average of sixty parcels every day. It’s not bad for a university campus.”

“So you have no intention of changing agents?”

Chen Hansheng raised his eyebrows at the manager.

“Not really. But if you can increase and maintain the rate to a hundred parcels per day, I will consider changing agents. But I suggest you go offline first and familiarize yourself with the business,” said the middle-aged man.

Chen Hansheng didn’t think the conditions were unreasonable. “Do you have a business card?”

The middle-aged man handed over a gray business card with the words ‘Zhong Jiancheng, General Manager of Jiangling District Shentong Express Delivery Company’ written on it.

Chen Hansheng put it in his pocket and left without another word.

“How interesting.” Zhong Jiancheng muttered before continuing his work just now.

Chen Hansheng was a veteran in doing business. He knew that to do business is to simply exchange resources. Since he didn’t have much to offer earlier, there was no point in staying any longer in that office. In fact, if he stayed any longer, he would just have wasted both their time.

Once he returned to the internet cafe, Chen Hansheng happily played CS with his roommates for a few rounds. In the afternoon, he invited Yang Shichao and Guo Shaoqiang to eat chicken rice for five yuan. Jin Yangming complained that the chicken was not fresh enough, so he bought beef rice for eight yuan.

At 3 pm, they had a class with Guo Zhongyun and did not dare to skip it, especially since Chen Hansheng was the class president.

Before class started, Hu Linyu went up to Chen Hansheng and asked him to tell his classmates about the class fee.

Chen Hansheng laughed internally. Hu Linyu felt that the fifty yuan class fee was too much and was worried that others would complain about it, so she wanted Chen Hansheng to announce it. After all, he was the one who suggested it.

“Be a little more considerate.”

Chen Hansheng shook his head, then he walked to the podium and loudly said, “Students, we have to pay the class fee in high school, and university is no exception. In the future, the class will hold all kinds of activities and gatherings regularly, so everyone will be charged a fifty-yuan class fee. This money will be used to fund the class activities, and the accounts can be checked at any time.”

When he said this, Chen Hansheng deliberately glanced at Shen Youchu. Sure enough, she was looking at him carefully. After a short moment of eye contact, Shen Youchu lowered her head again.

Chen Hansheng smiled internally. It seemed that Shen Youchu knew that he had helped her pay her share.
