Ye Linchen smiled slightly, his face radiating undisguised confidence.

"That's right, what they're not good at is exactly what I'm good at. So I want to start a company specifically to help students who want to do something at school but don't know where to start, to help them plan and get their companies on the right track from the very beginning."

"Wow……"

Wang Lina's eyes widened as she listened. She moved closer to Ye Linchen and looked her up and down as if she were meeting her roommate for the first time.

"Xiao Chen, are you... are you going to become the 'boss behind the boss'?"

"It's not that mysterious."

"It's just a service business. If they do well, my company can grow step by step, and maybe in the future we can even expand beyond campus and do bigger business."

Ye Linchen was amused by her exaggerated manner. He tidied up the scattered manuscript papers on the table one by one, stapled them neatly, and pushed them in front of her.

"Hey, future superstar, could you take a look at my proposal and give me some feedback?"

"How would I know anything about this? I'm just watching the show."

Wang Lina spoke modestly, but her hands betrayed her true intentions as she took the cover and opened it.

She had only intended to take a cursory glance, but as she looked, her expression changed from curiosity to surprise, and finally to complete admiration.

The content was well-organized and logically sound, with market analysis, risk assessment, and financial models that left her overwhelmed.

"Smack!"

Wang Lina slammed the proposal shut, slapped it hard, and solemnly gave Ye Linchen a thumbs-up.

She announced to Ye Linchen in perfect Mandarin, "Xiao Chen, my admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending!"

Wang Lina was about to express her admiration with her performance when the dormitory door opened, and Lin Xuemei and Li Hongying walked in, chatting and laughing.

"What do you mean by 'surging river'?" Lin Xuemei put her book down on the table and leaned over curiously. "We heard you shouting in the hallway, 'You found money?'"

Wang Lina immediately held up the proposal and waved it at them, looking as proud as if she had written it herself.

"This is way more impressive than finding money on the street! How much can you find if you pick up a few dollars on the street? A few hundred at most, right? But if this happens, it could be thousands or tens of thousands!"

"What are you talking about, all mysterious and rambling?" Li Hongying asked as she walked over.

"Look for yourselves, a big boss is about to emerge from our dormitory!" Wang Lina handed her the business plan.

Li Hongying took the proposal: "Let me see, what's so amazing about this?"

Lin Xuemei quickly leaned her head in as well.

The two looked at the cover and began to read it aloud, slowly and haltingly: "Campus...Entrepreneurship...Incubation...Service...Project...Business Plan?"

After they finished reading, the two of them looked up abruptly, exchanged a glance, and both saw the same shock in each other's eyes.

"Lina, this...you wrote this?" Lin Xuemei's eyes widened, and her finger pointing at the proposal trembled slightly. "You're going to start your own company?"

Li Hongying couldn't believe it either: "How come I didn't know you had this ability? Are you planning to act, be a boss, and still study at the same time?"

Wang Lina burst out laughing.

"I don't have that ability!" She pointed to Ye Linchen, who was sitting at the table, smiling silently at the others. "The boss behind the scenes is right there. Look how composed she is; that's what you call the demeanor of a businesswoman!"

"Xiao Chen, is that you? Are you the one who wants to start a company?" Lin Xuemei asked immediately.

Before Ye Linchen could even nod, Li Hongying excitedly grabbed her arm, shaking her so hard it felt like she was going to fall apart.

"Xiao Chen! This project sounds amazing! Do you need more people? If you do, you should come to me first! I don't know what I can do, but I'm got plenty of strength. I can handle everything from running errands to handing out flyers!"

"Me too! Me too!" Lin Xuemei also snapped out of her daze, afraid of falling behind, and quickly declared, "I want to join too! I'm meticulous and can help organize the data!"

"Yes, yes, and me too! I can help you spread the word; I'm quite eloquent," Wang Lina immediately chimed in.

Looking at his roommates' flushed faces, Ye Linchen felt deeply moved.

Her biggest worry on her entrepreneurial journey was fighting alone, but unexpectedly, her first batch of comrades appeared right in front of her.

She nodded vigorously, her smile radiant: "Great! Of course you're welcome! Let's do it together!"

When Lin Xiaojuan learned about this, she was also excited to join in.

"Xiao Chen, if you need technical support, such as data processing and calculation, you can leave it to me. My computer skills are pretty good."

Thus, before the summer vacation after his freshman year, Ye Linchen's entrepreneurial project team had already taken initial shape.

However, Wang Lina did not join as she had said.

She's so busy right now, she wishes she had three heads and six arms, she simply can't manage both.

The final company members were set at four: Ye Linchen, Li Hongying, Lin Xuemei, and Lin Xiaojuan.

The four agreed that once the final exams were over, they would find a place to hold their first formal meeting to further develop Ye Linchen's preliminary plan and strive to solidify the most crucial market research part before the start of their sophomore year.

Without the harassment from the Ye family, and having plunged headlong into her beloved career, Ye Linchen felt that life was flying by, fulfilling and joyful.

Her tutoring career also reaped great rewards.

After Zhao Yutong finished the college entrance examination, she estimated her score, which was higher than any of her previous mock exams.

Zhao's parents were overjoyed. Before the results were even out, they gave Ye Linchen a generous red envelope.

Zhao's mother held Ye Linchen's hand affectionately, saying, "Teacher Ye, thank you so much! When the admission notice comes, Auntie will wrap you an even bigger one!"

Another girl, Xu Siyu, also saw her grades jump from the lower middle to the top of the grade, and her parents were so grateful that they almost wanted to give her a banner.

With these two living signs in place, people wanting to get tutoring from Ye Linchen practically broke down the door.

However, because she was about to start her own business, she declined all offers except for one high school girl introduced by Zhao's mother.

Time flies and it's already the end of the semester.

No matter how busy Ye Linchen is, he never neglects his studies. After a few exams, he felt it was easier than tutoring.

After successfully completing the final exams, Ye Linchen began preparing for the first meeting of the startup project team.

While she was living a fulfilling and busy life, the Ye family was in turmoil once again.

A person they never expected appeared before them.
