Wu Yuxue was greatly surprised when she learned that Liu Lei had joined Zhou Chen's company.
Because she was busy, she didn't see the messages in the group.
“Yu Xue, I’ve told you before that I want to start my own business, but I don’t have that kind of brain. So, the simplest and most direct way is to work with Zhou Chen, who is good at business. The company is just starting out and is in the startup phase. If I join, I will be a founding member of the company.”
"Zhou Chen is already this capable. After graduating from university, he will definitely become a big boss. Sometimes, choice is more important than effort. I want to take a gamble."
"Also, do you know what I manage as an accountant? I manage a charity fund. Zhou Chen is to take one yuan out of every book of past exam papers sold and put it into the charity fund to help people in need."
Liu Lei talked on and on the phone, while Wu Yuxue on the other end was slightly shocked, surprised that Zhou Chen had started doing charity work and was already developing in the direction of a philanthropist.
These former classmates of Zhou Chen are either just starting out in their careers or barely making ends meet. Zhou Chen, however, while still in high school, has accomplished something that none of them, who are about to graduate from university, could do.
Wu Yuxue thought of an old saying: gold will shine sooner or later.
Three years have passed, and Zhou Chen has begun to shine.
“Yu Xue, let me talk to Zhou Chen and ask you to come too. He has more than one business, and his stinky tofu business is definitely short of managers. You studied business administration, which is a perfect match for him, and you graduated from a prestigious university. He will definitely welcome you. Then we can be together again and see each other often.”
Liu Lei chuckled.
"Don't tell anyone, I'm not going to his company."
Wu Yuxue, however, felt as if she had been caught red-handed and quickly refused.
"Why? Don't you believe in Zhou Chen's abilities? He's the top student in the city, and getting into a prestigious university is definitely not a problem for him. Lu Ye only worked with him for a little over a week and already earned more than ten thousand yuan. Tell me, which of our classmates could do that?"
"Don't try to persuade me. I know he's capable, but... but..."
"Have you already signed a contract with that company you like?"
"Yes, I have a job now, so..."
Hearing this, Liu Lei sighed, feeling a little regretful.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. After putting down her phone, Wu Yuxue felt conflicted. She had just lied to Liu Lei; she hadn't actually signed a labor contract with the company she had her eye on. It was just an excuse.
"If I were to work for him, it would only make me regret missing out on him even more."
"Instead of that, it's better to keep your distance."
Wu Yuxue muttered to herself, only in this way could she avoid being hurt.
Buzzing...
Another message appeared in the group chat. Looking down, I saw that Liu Lei had been hired by Zhou Chen and would be reporting for duty the next day.
The group chat immediately became lively again.
Wu Yuxue smiled, didn't say anything, put down her phone, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
On the day Liu Lei arrived in Fanjia County, Zhou Chen and Lu Ye welcomed her together. The three of them ate until very late before parting ways.
Because Liu Lei needed to find a place to stay, Zhou Chen gave her a day to sort everything out before she could get back to work.

In a dimly lit room,
Zhao Kun's eyes were wide open, staring intently at the cards in his hand, while he called out the scores.
However, after thoroughly opening it, he angrily slammed it on the table, cursing loudly.
"Damn it, we were so close to turning things around."
"Brother Kun, you've been beating us all the time, it's time to let us win this time. But it seems you're out of money right now, so if it's really not possible, let's call it a day."
Across from them, a man with a smiling face, chuckled and said.
Zhao Kun frowned, looking at the pile of cash in front of the man. He felt resentful. Just half a minute ago, all that money was his, but after a few rounds, he not only lost it all, but also his last bit of capital.
This is not enough!
He's been lucky today, he just had a bit of bad luck. If he gets a few more lucky hands, he'll definitely win it back.
"Who said I don't have money? I have plenty of money. This is just a few coins. I didn't bring that much cash with me when I went out today. Brother Tiger, can you give me some? Let's continue. Don't let the station close so early. I haven't had enough fun yet."
Zhao Kun decided to try again and win back what he had lost.
Upon hearing this, Tiger chuckled and said, "Brother Kun, you should know my rules. Even if my dad borrows money from me, he has to write an IOU. Besides, my interest rate is not low. Although we are brothers, even close brothers have to keep clear accounts."
Zhao Kun hesitated for a moment, almost forgetting that the other party was a loan shark with shockingly high interest rates, which made him want to back out.
Just then, Tiger suddenly burst into laughter and said, "If you're confident, Kun, you can pay back the money tonight. If it's not until tomorrow, there won't be any interest, and you won't lose anything. Actually, Kun, you've had pretty good luck today. It's just that you were a little unlucky in the last few rounds. Maybe it's because you changed positions. You might as well switch back, and maybe your luck will come back."
Um?
Zhao Kun's heart stirred upon hearing this.
Yes, if the money borrowed today is repaid on the same day, no interest will be charged, and no matter how high the interest rate is, it has nothing to do with him.
Secondly, Tiger is right. The rounds he just counted were probably in different positions. If he had switched back, Lady Luck might have smiled upon him again, allowing him to dominate like before.
"Well, Kun, have you thought it through? If you're not confident, then forget it."
"Don't break up, keep playing, I'll write you an IOU."
Zhao Kun decided to take a gamble. Many people envied his luck. As long as he sat back in his previous seat, he was sure he could win it back.
"Kun is indeed Kun, decisive and efficient. Here, get Kun a pen and paper."
Tiger gave a compliment, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he and Zhao Kun exchanged money and IOUs.
Zhao Kun borrowed 100,000 yuan, hoping to make a comeback with it.
With the money, Zhao Kun returned to the gambling table and continued to gamble with Tiger and others.
And before they knew it, they were playing until the early hours of the morning.
After getting off the gambling table, Zhao Kun was completely distraught because he had lost a total of 300,000 yuan and had written three IOUs for 100,000 yuan each.
"Brother Kun, you've really had some bad luck today. As your brother, I won't charge you the interest. Just give me the 300,000 tomorrow."
"Aren't we good buddies?"
Tiger patted Zhao Kun on the shoulder with a smile. Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun felt a pang of bitterness and regret. If he had known his luck would continue to be this bad, he would never have borrowed money to gamble.
