Three days later, Chen Ze was listening attentively to his counselor's lecture in class.
Suddenly, the previously gloomy sky outside became overcast, and the birdsong that usually filled the trees around the teaching building fell silent.
Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar.
"Ah!" The girls in the classroom screamed in fright.
"Students, it's going to rain heavily soon, quickly close the windows," the counselor instructed.
Students near the windows got up and closed them. Then, with a whoosh, a downpour began, the rain hitting the windowpanes with a pattering sound.
The rain continued for over an hour. At noon, the bell rang, and the students walked out of the classroom in an orderly manner. It was still drizzling outside. Chen Ze hadn't brought an umbrella this morning, so he had to brave the drizzle to run to the cafeteria.
After getting his food, he chose an empty seat and sat down. He had just taken a couple of bites when Gao Pengfei, carrying his plate, sat down opposite him with his girlfriend.
Chen Ze glanced at him, and then I looked around and found that the cafeteria was already full of people.
"What are you looking at, you single dog? It's your good fortune that I'm willing to sit with you, Fei-ge," Gao Pengfei said with a smug look.
"Pengfei, is this your new girlfriend? What about your previous girlfriend?"
Gao Pengfei didn't care at all about Chen Ze's directness, and said indifferently, "I met the previous one at a supermarket. She was a cashier and not very educated. We broke up because we had different values. Let me introduce you. This is my new girlfriend, He Wenhui, who is in the foreign languages ​​department."
Chen Ze smiled slightly and greeted He Wenhui: "Hello, my name is Chen Ze, Gao Pengfei's roommate."
He Wenhui: "Hello, you're so handsome. Would you like me to introduce you to a girlfriend?"
"Thank you, but no need. I'm not interested in dating right now. Making money is my hobby. Money makes me happy and makes me more confident."
"Really? If you're not bragging, we can still be good friends."
Gao Pengfei obviously didn't believe it. In his eyes, Chen Ze was a penniless wretch who rode a second-hand electric bike all day long. The best clothes he wore were a Li-Ning tracksuit, but most of the time he wore cheap jeans and flip-flops.
Chen Ze wasn't angry. "Believe it or not, I've been busy learning about financial investment lately, and I'll have a place in the financial field in the future."
"Investment? What do you know about investment? Be careful you don't lose so much you have to pawn your underwear," Gao Pengfei mocked.
"You can't say that. I've recently been researching a futures stock and I feel like I've gained some insights from it. Do you want to buy some with me?" Chen Ze said earnestly.
"We've only been taking finance classes for a month or so, and you dare to say you have an understanding of futures and stocks? If you graduated from college, would you say you wanted to go to the moon?"
Gao Pengfei thought to himself, "Has Chen Ze lost his mind? Although bragging isn't illegal, he shouldn't go too far. Going too far will make people feel disgusted."
He had originally planned to help his roommates make some money, but when he saw Gao Pengfei's disbelieving look and his own self-mockery, he immediately gave up the idea. He never imagined that being a good person would be so difficult.
He Wenhui picked up a piece of chicken and fed it to Gao Pengfei. Gao Pengfei ate it with a smile, and then he also picked up some vegetables and fed them to He Wenhui. The two of them were showing off their affection in front of Chen Ze.
Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and answered, "Hello, Mr. Wang, what's up?"
On the other end of the phone, "Boss, something bad has happened. This morning, it rained heavily and the roads were slippery. A rider accidentally fell and was then run over by a truck behind him, breaking his leg. Now his family is demanding 350,000 yuan in compensation from our company."
Chen Ze got up, put the plate in the recycling area, and said, "Mr. Wang, I didn't think of this before. It was my oversight. How about this, you compensate them, and the company will not sign labor contracts with riders in the future."
"Boss, how can we recruit delivery riders without signing labor contracts?"
"Mr. Wang, you don't need to worry about this. I'll find someone to resolve this tomorrow. You should pay the other party the money first and prevent them from causing trouble at the company, as this could damage the company's reputation."
"Okay, boss, I'll get right on it."
He Wenhui looked at Chen Ze, who was on the phone by the door, and joked with her boyfriend, "Pengfei, has your roommate always been one to talk big? Not only does he want a finance position, but he also keeps calling me 'President Wang' on the phone and then asking for 350,000 yuan. It's like he thinks 35 yuan is nothing."
Gao Pengfei chuckled, "Wenhui, you don't know, when Chen Ze first came to the school, did you believe him when he said he owned a factory? There's nothing of value about him, the only thing that's worth looking at is his identity as a Guangcheng native."
"I was just about to introduce him to my roommate, but now I realize I almost got my roommate into trouble."
"Okay, baby, let's not talk about him anymore. Hurry up and eat. After you finish, we'll go to the lakeside under the willow trees for a hug and a kiss."
He Wenhui blushed and said coquettishly, "Get lost, all you ever think about is that."
"..."
When Chen Ze arrived at the dormitory, he found that Zhang Guoheng was the only one inside.
"Chen Ze, do you have any money to lend me?" Zhang Guoheng asked.
"Yes, how much do you want to borrow?"
"Lend me two thousand yuan. I'm planning to buy an iPhone for my girlfriend, but I'm short two thousand yuan."
Chen Ze laughed and said, "If you keep fawning over her like that, you might end up with nothing." After saying that, he took out a wad of cash from his wallet, counted out twenty 100-yuan bills, and handed them to Zhang Guoheng.
Zhang Guoheng happily accepted the money. "Old Chen, thanks. The outcome of love isn't important; the process is what matters. I don't ask for forever; I just want to have had it."
Hearing Lao Zhang's words, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Simps don't deserve sympathy."
Chen Ze lay in bed, opened his QQ account on his phone, and sent a message to Fatty: Fatty, are you there?
Fatty: I'm here.
Chen Ze: Do you have classes this afternoon?
Fatty: I don't have class this afternoon. If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide our relationship.
Chen Ze: Go register a labor service company this afternoon. You can name it whatever you like.
Fatty: Okay, I'll go in a bit. How's your Panda Delivery company going?
Chen Ze: Panda Delivery is operating normally. Come to my school gate at 9 pm and wait for me.
Fatty: Okay.
After ending his chat with the fat man, he called Chen Hao and asked him to meet him at the entrance of Shenzhen University that evening.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ze lay in bed for an hour to rest before getting up and going to class.
In the afternoon, the fat man successfully registered a labor service company.
At 8:40 p.m., Fatty arrived early at the entrance of Shenzhen University and waited. Soon after, an Audi sedan with a Guangdong-Hong Kong license plate drove up.
Upon seeing Chen Ze's car, the fat man immediately walked over and asked, "Uncle De, is Chen Ze in the car?"
"Xiao Zhang, the boss isn't in the car. He's at school and won't be out until after nine o'clock."
The fat man looked disappointed, thinking Chen Ze was in the car.
