Chapter 10 The Ungrateful Childhood Sweetheart (10)

Seeing her sullen expression, Ji Huaizhi knew why: "Xiaomei, do you want to improve your education level?"

Jiang Xiaomei, with her hands behind her back, said, "Of course I want to. I don't want to be illiterate, and people will laugh at you if they know your girlfriend only has a junior high school education."

Ji Huaizhi said helplessly, "Don't think about me, think about yourself."

"Actually, I suggested you improve yourself, mainly for your own sake, so that your future path will be wider."

"But I'm too stupid, I can't understand the things in the textbook anymore," Jiang Xiaomei said in frustration.

"Have you forgotten that your partner is a top student?" Ji Huaizhi said as they walked. "I'll make you a schedule. Keep anything you don't understand, and I'll teach you when we have time."

It's normal for her to be like this after not using her brain for so long; studying is inherently boring.

"You should also be moderate in your reading of novels, and stop staying up late to read them."

Jiang Xiaomei felt a little guilty after hearing his last sentence.

I can't help it, it's just too addictive to watch.

"You like reading novels?" Ji Huaizhi raised an eyebrow.

“I like it, it feels very interesting,” Jiang Xiaomei nodded.

"Then you should study hard now, and you can try writing in the future." Ji Huaizhi had also written novels.

He remembered that Jiang Xiaomei's writing was quite inspired.

Ji Huaizhi has finally come up with the idea of ​​making money.

It was while he was wandering around looking for part-time work that he noticed the part-time jobs at the popular restaurants and noodle shops nearby were being delivered to dormitories.

So this idea came about.

Ji Huaizhi first hired three students, one boy and two girls, to deliver food. He made small cards and then had them distribute a few to each dormitory.

In the early stages, to reduce costs, he also had to do it himself.

The card had Ji Huaizhi's QQ number and a QQ group number on it.

Pay for meals, pick up packages, and deliver items.

In fact, many universities offer such part-time jobs, but Ji Huaizhi was aiming to monopolize the market.

In the beginning, he hired people at a loss. Apart from the two yuan he was paid for the delivery, buying meals for his classmates was free. He didn't make any profit at all.

The main purpose is to get them to join the group, let them know about their website, and then let them place orders in the group in the future.

If people can buy food at the original price, they certainly won't want to spend an extra two yuan to hire a delivery person.

After the group reached a certain number of members, Ji Huaizhi created a new group.

He wants all the students in the school to join this group.

After things got busy, four people weren't enough, so Ji Huaizhi hired three more part-time workers. Four people delivered the supplies to the male dormitory, and three people delivered them to the female dormitory.

At this point, Ji Huaizhi was almost out of money.

But he remained calm and began to talk to restaurant owners in the vicinity about cooperation.

Ji Huaizhi negotiated a discount of one yuan with the surrounding restaurant owners for the meal ordered through the group chat. This one yuan was Ji Huaizhi's profit.

Some bosses were unwilling, but Ji Huaizhi did not force them.

Let's talk about the next one.

Most of the restaurant owners thought that the activity was feasible after listening to Ji Huaizhi's advice, mainly because it could sell more food. After agreeing, Ji Huaizhi took a picture of their menus and posted it in the group chat.

When Ji Huaizhi saw that the school's delivery staff had been worn down by his price war, he knew it was time to start making a profit.

[@Everyone, the menus for nearby restaurants and noodle shops have been uploaded. Feel free to order whatever you'd like to eat.]

[@Everyone, also, I want to apologize to the students, the free delivery promotion for campus food delivery that just opened has ended. Afterwards, orders will incur a 2 yuan delivery fee in addition to the food cost. We also offer Didi services for buying items and picking up packages (2 yuan for small items, 3-5 yuan for large items).]

[@Everyone, although the opening promotions have ended, we'll occasionally update the group with free delivery offers and other merchant discounts~^▽^]

The 2 yuan delivery fee and the pickup fee also constitute Ji Huaizhi's profit.

That's right, he wants to profit from both sides.

It's evil, but businessmen are driven by profit.

Surprisingly, the profit for the day was still pretty good. Although fewer people placed orders after the delivery fee was introduced, the profit increased.

These six part-time employees also work in shifts. Their working hours are during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If there are orders during their regular class time, whoever is not in class will deliver the goods.

Zhou Peng was surprised that Ji Huaizhi's campus food delivery business was so successful.

"I'm not kidding, your campus delivery service is truly amazing."

Ji Huaizhi chuckled, picked up the newly made card, and prepared to leave: "It's alright."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Peng wanted to talk to him.

“Go to the internet cafe and hand out cards. After all, everyone’s sitting in front of the computer. When they’re engrossed in playing games, who wants to go out to eat when they’re hungry?” Ji Huaizhi took two steps back after leaving the house and turned back: “Xiaomei steamed some buns. I’ll bring some over for you guys in a bit.”

Zhou Peng clicked his tongue twice, marveling at the sight.

"I didn't expect Ji Huaizhi to be so quick-witted?"

“Yeah, they lost everything at first, but unexpectedly they’re making money now.” Another guy in the dorm put his hand on his chair: “I’ve been keeping track of all the orders he posts in the group chat every day.”

"The daily profit is at least several hundred! Now that we're also delivering to internet cafes, business is going to get even better."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately sat up: "So much? That's ten or twenty thousand yuan a month!"

Zhou Peng glanced at them and said, "Don't forget, when this campus food delivery service first started, he lost a lot of money and had to support those part-time workers. He still hasn't paid me back the money he borrowed from me."

The others looked at Zhou Peng: "You really lent him the money? I really regret not lending him the money back then."

"Otherwise, I'll say that borrowing his money is like investing in a company." The man who spoke glanced at Zhou Peng.

I want to see if Zhou Peng wants a piece of the pie.

"Brother Peng? Ji Huaizhi owes you such a huge favor, why don't you tell him you want to invest?"

Zhou Peng took out his newly bought iPhone, the latest model, and started watching videos on Slow Motion: "Why should I invest? Look at how tanned he is, how tired he is all day long? I'm not going to go."

"I'd rather just watch some trending videos in my dorm room."

As she was talking, she saw a trending video that looked interesting, so she set up her phone and started filming: "I just bought you an iPhone 5, and now you want a 5s; I just bought you an iPhone 6, and now you want a Plus~"

"That's true, Brother Peng's family isn't short of money." The man's tone was sour.

"Unlike us, if we go out for an internship, we can only earn two or three thousand yuan a month at most."

"How come Ji Huaizhi is so lucky?"

After taking the photo, Zhou Peng clicked send and then went to browse the local area: "You can't just look at his good luck. Didn't he also have a time when he couldn't even afford instant noodles?"

"Yeah, I really admire him. He managed to earn so much every day while he was in college." He put his hand down from the stool and turned around, then turned back as if remembering something: "Oh, right."

"Do you think this campus food delivery service will eventually become just like Meituan and Chileme?"

Who knows?

It wasn't until I got to university that I discovered how many talented people there are.

There are Meipai influencers, people like Ji Huaizhi who started their own businesses in college, people who scam younger students into buying membership cards, and people who sell clothes and run snack shops in their dorm rooms.

But they weren't familiar with any of these people.

Only Ji Huaizhi was in the same dormitory every day, and he often saw him when he was struggling financially, even relying on women to pay for his school fees.

When they learned about his relationship with Jiang Xiaomei, they outwardly expressed sympathy, but inwardly they mocked him for not being a real man who lived off a woman.

But how much time has passed?

In less than a semester, they earned in a single month what they never imagined.

That's so enviable!

They used to be inferior to them.
