Zhang Changsheng was somewhat surprised by Chen Ke's words; he hadn't expected Chen Ke to ask him that.

They hadn't spoken much back in the village, and Chen Ke's impression on him wasn't as outstanding as the adults described.

Zhang Changsheng felt that he was good at nothing but studying, a complete bookworm, a bookworm who couldn't lift a finger, was oblivious to everything else, and only focused on studying the classics.

Moreover, this nerd is also selfish and weak, although this is what his peers think.

Once, his sister was being bullied by older students, and he walked right past them without even looking at them. His sister was shouting loudly, but he pretended not to hear her. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore and went to save his sister.

"Second Brother Zhang? Hmm? Did you think about what you wanted to do before you came out?" Chen Ke asked again when he saw that Zhang Changsheng seemed to be in a daze.

Zhang Changsheng came to his senses and looked at Chen Ke, who was completely different from before, with a sense of realization. Chen Ke had a fair and handsome face, and his eyes were sincere and bright when he spoke to him.

Living in a big city for a long time really makes a difference. Zhang Changsheng felt that Chen Ke was really great and outstanding.

Zhang Changsheng smiled sincerely, somewhat embarrassed, "I originally planned to work on a construction site first, then earn some money and learn some skills to support myself."

"But now it seems I was a bit naive. It seems the construction sites in the capital don't need bricklayers anymore." Zhang Changsheng was disappointed that he couldn't go back to bricklaying.

At this point, they arrived at their destination. Chen Ke helped Zhang Changsheng carry the luggage off the bus and then paid the fare.

Zhang Changsheng was eager to pay, but Chen Ke stopped him.

"How could I accept this? You came to pick me up, and now you're the one paying for it. My dad and the others said that your studies in Beijing are expensive, and they told me not to let you spend any money."

"I still have enough money for the bus fare. Let's go. This hotel is close to my school. Let's stay here for now."

"Oh, okay, thank you so much, Ake."

After checking into the room and carrying their luggage, both of them were covered in sweat.

Chen Ke took a bottle of mineral water from the room and handed one to Zhang Changsheng. "Second Brother Zhang, it's like this, I've started a company, but I'm also busy with school, so I need some help. Would you like to come and help me?"

"Huh?" Zhang Changsheng was completely taken aback.

"Of course, there is definitely a salary."

"Huh?" Zhang Changsheng was even more confused.

Isn't Chen Ke still a student? Doesn't he still rely on his family for living expenses every month? How come he suddenly started a company and is saying he'll be paid a salary?

"How about it? Want to help me out?"

Oh, Ako must need his help with something, and because he was embarrassed, he said he started a company and wanted him to work there and get paid. Seriously, he's changed so much, but his pride is still so strong.

If he really needs his help, he will definitely help. Although they didn't get along well before, they are from the same village when they are away from home, so of course they should help each other. However, he definitely won't accept the salary. That's the hard-earned money of Uncle Chen and the others.

Thinking he had figured things out, Zhang Changsheng readily agreed.

Chen Ke already had a general plan for starting a business, and his first requirement for Zhang Changsheng was that he must know how to drive, otherwise it would be very inconvenient for him to go out in the future.

"Then you can stay here for now, and we'll move to another place later. In the meantime, I hope you can get your driver's license."

"What? Taking a driving test?" Taking a driving test costs money, right? Zhang Changsheng only thought this to himself, because he felt that even if he really had to pay for a driving test, it was money he should pay.

Driving is a skill, and he'll have to pay for it himself to learn it.

"Okay, I'll help you find a driving school. You can study for the first subject on your phone now, and then just go take the test later."

"Oh, okay."

"Then, Second Brother Zhang, you should get some rest. Remember to call Uncle Zhang to let him know you're safe. I have classes at school, so I'll be leaving now."

"Ah, oh, okay, okay, goodbye, thank you."

Perhaps it was Chen Ke's methodical and authoritative manner that impressed Zhang Changsheng, because it wasn't until after he arrived that Zhang realized he already had to spend money on a driver's license test before even securing a job...

Zhang Changsheng dialed Zhang Chenggong's number with a worried expression.

"Hey!"

"Hello, Dad."

"Hey, Changsheng, have you arrived? Did Ake pick you up?"

"Yes, Dad, Ako picked me up and took me to the hotel before going back to school."

"Did you give him the pickled cabbage and walnuts that his mother brought for him?"

"Oh dear, I forgot!"

"Look at your memory! What did I tell you when you left?"

"It's alright, it's alright, Ako might come again."

"Then remember to give it to him."

"Okay, okay."

This dialogue wasn't in the original storyline. Because Zhang Changsheng and the original owner barely spoke on the bus, he remembered giving him the item, but the original owner disliked it and was afraid of being laughed at by others if he took it back to the dormitory, so he didn't take it. In the end, after arriving at the hotel, he didn't even get out of the car and went back to school.

Zhang Changsheng wisely stopped contacting the original owner.

Sitting in the car, Chen Ke was also thinking that if the original owner hadn't avoided everything and everyone related to his hometown like the plague, then when he was forced to flee penniless by loan sharks, he wouldn't have been left without anyone to help him.

"Dear host, congratulations! Your newly registered Chen's Century Trading Co., Ltd. has been successfully registered. Your entrepreneurial level has reached the initial stage. Please use your entrepreneurial funds as soon as possible to upgrade your entrepreneurial level and start your life as a super-rich person."

Chen Ke was surprised that the company he had just applied to register at the train station had already been registered. It seemed that the system was efficient and effective.

"Master, I'm sorry, we can't go to Jingbei University for now, we'll go to..." Chen Ke looked at the address on his phone, "to Nanjie Hutong."

Chen Ke learned about the current state of business development.

There are many emerging industries, and the computer and internet industries are booming.

And the industries derived from it, such as live streaming, games, and e-commerce, have great development potential. Chen Ke originally planned to enter the game industry because he studied computer programming and had game experience that was not from this era. It would be easy for him to create a hit game.

However, while sorting through the original owner's memories, a scene made him give up the game.

That was an event that major news websites across the country rushed to report during the time the original owner was on the run.

The actual controlling shareholder of China's largest one-stop shopping website is actually a person from the United States, while the founder, Fu Xin, who was previously featured on the covers of major magazines and hailed as an outstanding entrepreneur, is just an executive president with a pitifully small number of shares.
