After they were seated, Jiang Xiaoli went behind Dafu to introduce him to them.

"You've both met them before. Let me introduce this gentleman to you: Fu Yunliang, I call him Brother Dafu. He's also the vice president of 'Jiang Li Ji' and will be in charge of the Kyoto branch in the future."

She introduced several more roommates to Dafu, and she deliberately stood behind Chang Yue.

“Brother Dafu, Chang Yue is the roommate I mentioned to you before. She majors in accounting and will be working part-time at the company when she doesn’t have classes or on weekends and holidays.”

Daifu smiled and got up to pour juice for the girls. "I just arrived in Kyoto. It's nice to meet you all."

None of the girls were shy or timid, and they quickly started chatting.

Chang Yue was very concerned about the development of "Jiang Li Ji" in Kyoto. After the meal, she pulled Da Fu aside and asked him many questions she was concerned about, and Da Fu answered them patiently one by one.

At 9 p.m., Jiang Xiaoli and a few others took the three girls back to school.

On the way home, Dafu felt something was off. He put his hand on Zhong Yuan's shoulder and said, "You've been acting strange all night. Why haven't you said a word?"

Jiang Xiaoli raised her hand, "I know why!"

Zong Jia and He Dafu both cast questioning glances at each other.

Before she could reveal anything, Zhong Yuan said, "Sigh, I guess I'm really not meant to be with that girl. Her family doesn't want her to stay in Kyoto in the future, nor do they want her to find a partner from another place."

"Hey!" Dafu patted him on the shoulder. "That's it? I thought it was something serious!"

Zhong Yuan gave him a resentful look, "You don't know anything!"

Dafu rolled his eyes at him. "You're blinded by your own involvement, aren't you? How can you be sure that Brother Zong's company won't expand to Shanghai in the future? Or that the girl won't have convinced her family just because she likes Kyoto?"

"And the most important point!" Dafu paused for two seconds, his gaze sweeping over Zhong Yuan. "Most importantly, you and that girl aren't even officially dating yet. Aren't you overthinking things?"

Zhong Yuan's expression froze for a moment. He looked at Dafu and said, "You're right. Don't say it again next time."

Seeing Zhong Yuan, who was usually carefree, turn into a melancholy one, Jiang Xiaoli just found it amusing.

She shook the hand that was being held, "Look how much effort Yuan-ge puts in!"

Zong Jiayu felt very innocent, saying, "I put in much more effort than him."

Jiang Xiaoli gave him a quick question and answer session.

What is my favorite food?

"Potato."

What's my favorite color?

"Blue-purple".

"I am the most..."

"..."

She asked more than ten questions in one go, some of which she herself did not have a clear answer to, but Zong Jiayu was able to answer them all at once.

Dafu and Zhongyuan couldn't stand her fourth or fifth question and hurried home.

Jiang Xiaoli turned around and looked at him face to face. "But if you ask me these questions, I can't answer 80% of them. Don't you think I don't care about you?"

Zong Jia looked back at her tenderly, his eyes overflowing with affection, "No."

He always indulged her in everything.

Jiang Xiaoli hooked her arms around his neck and said, "Ayu, I like you so much."

Zong Jiayu thoroughly enjoyed her confession, "Little Pear, I love you."

When the two of them got home, Zhong Yuan and Da Fu had already cleaned up the mess left after the dinner party.

Jiang Xiaoli waved to them, "Goodnight, three handsome guys!"

...

On the first day after the National Day holiday ended, Jiang Xiaoli came to see Professor Tan after finishing her class.

Tan Xuanyi was a little surprised. He smiled and gestured for Jiang Xiaoli to sit down. "It's been a month since school started, and this is the first time you've come to see me. Did you encounter something at school that you can't resolve?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded and then shook her head. She smiled and said, "Professor Tan, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with, but it's not something I need to do myself."

Tan Xuanyi immediately understood, "Is it related to your company?"

“Yes.” Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, “I have an idea I’d like to discuss with you to see if there’s any room for it to be implemented.”

Tan Xuanyi adopted a posture of listening attentively.

Jiang Xiaoli continued, "Jiang Li Ji will open a branch in Kyoto in the future. We have already bought land in Qinghe, and the Kyoto branch factory will soon enter the construction phase."

"Jiang Li Ji" is in a phase of rapid development, and the company is in dire need of management talent. I was thinking about whether it was possible to establish a school-enterprise cooperation.

"Provide graduates and graduating seniors with job or internship opportunities, creating a win-win situation for all three parties."

Tan Xuanyi's eyes revealed an expression of appreciation. "Your idea is excellent! As long as the company can retain its employees, it will attract a group of outstanding, highly educated talents."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled shyly, "I'm just feeling my way across the river by touching the stones. I don't know if this idea can be realized?"

Tan Xuanyi tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice. “Now our school adopts a system of students choosing their own jobs and employers choosing each other. Once the school can cooperate with excellent companies, students will have another option for their employment. I think there is room for implementation.”

Jiang Xiaoli took out a document from her bag. "Professor Tan, this is my rough draft of a university-enterprise cooperation plan. It may not be very mature. Please take a look and give me some guidance."

Tan Xuanyi flipped through the document and chuckled, "Young Master Jiang is very well prepared!"

Jiang Xiaoli did not deny it, "How could I ask you for help if I didn't make thorough preparations?"

The two of them immediately engaged in a lively discussion about the specific implementation details of the school-enterprise cooperation plan.

More than an hour later, Jiang Xiaoli said goodbye to Tan Xuanyi, holding a document that had been revised many times.

"Professor Tan, I will come to see you again after I have revised this plan."

Tan Xuanyi picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Hurry up, I can't wait to present your school-enterprise cooperation plan to the school."

Jiang Xiaoli left Tan Xuanyi's office with a pleasant expression; she was extremely satisfied with today's outcome.

Chinese universities are still in the era of guaranteed job placement. Although in recent years, half of the students have gradually started to have to find jobs on their own, as long as the school still has the resources to assign jobs, the vast majority of college students will not prioritize choosing to work in private companies.

Although the wave of layoffs has arrived, the concept of an "iron rice bowl" is deeply rooted in the minds of the vast majority of Chinese people.

No matter how well a private enterprise is managed, many people will still label it as "unstable".

This is also why many private companies find it difficult to recruit outstanding college graduates.

However, Jiang Xiaoli knew best that the system of guaranteeing job placement for college graduates would soon end.

In her previous life, when she graduated from high school, the biggest news in society was that starting in 1996, college graduates would no longer be assigned jobs, and everyone would have to choose their own careers and find work on their own.
