No matter when, food is always the easiest way to bring people closer.
As the pot of Chuan Chuan fragrant red soup simmered, the four men and four women at the table gradually became familiar with each other.
"So, senior, you can only drink one bottle?"
"At least a bottle and a half!"
Zhao Huanxi was obviously a little embarrassed and retorted quickly.
Fortunately, the freshmen present did not dare to joke too much because of the status of the "financier" of tonight's dinner and the status of senior students.
Everyone chatted, and the topics ranged from interesting stories about hometown to hobbies, and soon returned to Huaijiang University.
After all, except for the two seniors, most of the people at the table were still curious freshmen.
"Will school start on September 1st? Military training will follow?"
"No, no - we have to wait for notification."
Tang Qingying picked up the blanched beef liver and wrapped it in a dry chili dipping dish.
"The custom at Huaijiang University is that sophomores generally undergo military training. Anyway, that's what I've been doing since the beginning of this year."
"There are also freshman majors in sports and arts." Zhao Huanxi added next to him.
"Oh oh."
"Uh, didn't you read the freshman guide?"
Xia Zhaoyao glanced at the boys who suddenly realized.
“It’s not written in the guide—”
"I mean the one posted in the group, such a detailed freshman guide."
"I haven't read it for a long time, so I know that the teaching material fee can be refunded." Zhu Houbai waved his hand and chewed the stem.
"What? Is the teaching material fee still refundable??"
The next moment, two voices sounded in unison.
Luo Junyao and Zuo Yi raised their heads at the same time, with identical looks of shock on their faces.
"Of course... uh, wait, Luo Luo, don't you know either?"
Xia Zhaoyao nodded, and then looked at Zhao Huanxi, who was blushing in confusion.
So when this sister received the new students in the afternoon, the most important core business was not mentioned at all?!
"Are you kidding, Luo Luo - you really don't know?" Tang Qingying also looked weird.
"...Huh? Should I know..."
Luo Junyao shrank her head and asked at a loss.
"Ahem, I'm... tidying up and cleaning this afternoon... I haven't finished talking yet."
Zhao Huanxi burped, his voice no longer as domineering as before, and he tried to explain himself.
When she went to pick up Luo Junyao in the afternoon, she mainly chatted with Luo's father and mother.
After the two parents left, she helped make the bed and tidy up again.
And then, as for the rest of the time…
Zhao Huanxi thought for a moment.
Uh, they seem to be discussing Chibi Maruko-chan and Doraemon?
"alright, I got it--"
Xia Zhaoyao's tone sounded helpless, but his expression looked particularly excited.
She put down her chopsticks, clapped her hands, and enthusiastically took the initiative to introduce.
"Then let me give you a general introduction——"
"To put it simply, the teaching material fee can be waived or refunded when registering."
Before Xia Zhaoyao could figure out his posture, Qin Shuo took the first step and quietly explained to Zuo Yi beside him.
"You can buy second-hand textbooks. Used books are sold at Wanshiwuwu and small street stalls."
"Well, Wanshiwu is a student startup company founded by two senior students."
???
Xia Zhaoyao's smile froze on his face.
Qin Shuo's voice was not loud, but at such a crowded round table, it was enough for everyone to hear clearly.
Especially since she clapped her hands to temporarily mute the sound just now, the sound effect would be even better.
“Student Startup?!”
"Campus enterprise?"
Following Qin Shuo's introduction, everyone instantly became excited.
As a freshman who has just stepped onto campus, starting a business among college students is like a legend.
"Oh, by the way - Senior Sister Tang Qingying, I remember!"
Lei Zhengrong patted his forehead and said in surprise.
"Group, freshman group!"
"Um?"
"You forgot, I am [a small and outstanding person who can live up to the wind and rain]. I even added you to QQ for private chat."
Lei Zhengrong excitedly took out his mobile phone, approached Tang Qingying, and introduced himself enthusiastically.
"I didn't ask how the conditions were for my morning jog. You also helped me take photos of the morning trail."
"oh oh--"
Tangtang squinted her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar photos of the early morning walk.
Oh, does the trail look like this at six in the morning?
"But I'm a little curious, seniors, what do you usually do?"
On the other side, Luo Junyao asked curiously while picking out the green onions in the oil dish.
"Wanshiwuwu sounds like... the kind that can take on any kind of commission?"
"Theoretically yes, but it's mainly a love commission."
Zhao Huanxi took a few bites of meat and seemed to have recovered from his drunkenness.
"Of course, that will be the main business after school starts. The focus during this period is on old books to welcome the new year."
"Oh, right--"
She suddenly remembered something and looked up at the freshmen gathered around the round table.
"Anyway, it's still some time before school starts. Are you guys... interested in helping?"
"Hey, can we?"
"What help-"
Lei Zhengrong and others couldn't keep up with Zhao Huanxi's rhythm for a while.
But on the other side, the sense of déjà vu between Xia Zhaoyao and Qin Shuo was too strong.
I think back then, she and Qin Shuo were just, um, dragged into the gang in a daze.
"Actually, I just distribute old books and statistics..."
Zhao Huanxi rubbed his forehead, picked up some pickles on the table to sober up, and explained at the same time.
The number of new students at Huaijiang University is in the tens of thousands.
Even if only some freshmen exchange their old books, it would still be a huge "customer flow" of hundreds of people for Wanshiwu.
With her and Tang Qingying alone, the entrepreneurial base was really busy, and Zhao Huanxi had long wanted to recruit some strong men.
"There is also sorting, checking of receipts, and warehousing inspection——"
Tang Qingying quickly added that the recycling of old books is still slowly continuing.
In addition to selling used books every day, she is also responsible for coordinating the recycling bin warehouse, and she also needs manpower.
"We are also short of manpower here - the financial center is the source!"
At this time, Xia Zhaoyao also reflected and said quickly.
"Come together, since you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do."
As she spoke, she patted Qin Shuo and persuaded the other people who looked hesitant.
"Qin Shuo is also helping. He is working with me in the Finance Center today to answer questions for new students and promote used books."
"Ah, it's——"
Qin Shuo, who was busy eating blood, slipped and almost lost his chopsticks.
"Um……"
"But I'm totally..."
At the dining table, several freshmen were a little confused for a moment.
However, the four members of Wanshiwu who launched the offensive would not miss this perfect opportunity.
“Just treat it as a campus experience, it’s very meaningful.”
"Those who are paid will be paid at the rate of 8 yuan an hour -"
Zhao Huanxi started to lure without hesitation.
"After the semester officially starts, you can bring the handbook over and I will stamp it for you to authenticate it, and it will be counted as a part-time activity on campus."
Tang Qingying started to persuade from the other side. She gently pushed up her glasses and said, "Win at the starting line."
"Sisters, we have to advance and retreat together in our dormitory..."
Xia Zhaoyao chose to play the emotional card.
"Don't look at me, I promised them before... to help them."
Qin Shuo shrugged helplessly, suddenly remembered something, and looked to the side inquiringly.
"Oh, by the way, senior sister. If we come to help, then are our teaching materials-"
"Teaching materials for you guys? Of course!"
Zhao Huanxi was stunned for half a second, then waved his hand very naturally and picked it up instantly.
"It's all free, and all your textbooks are free...we pick them from the warehouse."
"It's not just you, if you have friends or people you know who want to help...it's all at cost!"
Several people from Huan Tang Wanshiwu quickly exchanged glances in mid-air.
After this period of cooperation, everyone has almost reached a tacit understanding.
“Well, the more, the merrier—it’s considered a public welfare.”
"That's right, that's right. Recycling old books is mainly about the inheritance of books."
"Come on, come on... let's raise a toast together! Come on!"
"Well, cheers--"
"Although we may be in different classes in the future, our fate is unbreakable!"
Four people say one word to you and one word to me.
Within a few back and forth, the atmosphere was heightened.
Zhu Houbai looked at everyone in full swing and suggested.
"Oh, right, right, how about we all form a group?"
"What group?"
"WeChat social group, just our two dormitories."
"Okay, what's the name of that group?"
"916——" Luo Junyao said without thinking.
"Um?"
"113 house + 803 house, then it just happens to be 916..."
She explained seriously, pointing to the iron piece in the center of the rolling oil pan in front of her.
Logically speaking, this is the partition of the Yuanyang Pot, but today both sides are filled with red soup.
"And it also looks like hot pot, don't you think it's very appropriate?"
"619 is more like it -"
"69 is too dirty. Well, I vote for 916."
"Where is the dirt? Tangtang, you really need to stop reading pornographic books."
"Okay, okay - I agree with 916!"
"This is fate."
Everyone discussed it in a lively manner.
And Xia Zhaoyao took out his mobile phone and started creating a group on the spot.
