"There are very few people who think like you now. What do you think the prospects are if this trend develops?"
"My goal is to get every out-of-town student in the school to buy my cards. Each card has a minimum face value of 10 yuan. After selling them to students, I can earn 2 yuan. If 10,000 out of the 30,000 students in the school buy them, I can earn 20,000 yuan. After deducting the commission from my downline, I can earn 10,000 yuan. And 10 yuan for phone bills can be used up in a month. So, I can accumulate my first pot of gold. Then I have other ideas. I want to become a distributor for pagers and the currently popular repeaters. Students' money is the easiest to earn now." Huang Guanggan began to talk about his plan with great enthusiasm.
"I didn't realize you had such a well-planned future. I never thought a phone card could make so much money," Chen Niannian exclaimed. In this day and age, you can make money doing anything.
"I've only made some arrangements so far, and I won't be able to earn that much yet. How about it, are you interested in working with me?" Huang Guanggan extended an olive branch.
"I'd rather see how you succeed. I'm very busy lately," Chen Niannian politely declined.
Then she saw Huang Guanggan's disappointed face and felt a little sorry for him. "Huang Guanggan, I have an idea for you. Print some small business cards and add your phone number. This year, many dormitories have installed IP phones. You can add errand services to the business cards and charge according to the distance, such as how much it costs within one kilometer and how much it costs beyond one kilometer. You're so smart, I don't need to say more. There are many students from poor families in the school who are not afraid of hardship. There are also many students from the city whose families are well-off and don't mind spending a little more money."
Chen Niannian recalled a news article she had read in her previous life, which was about a male protagonist who was not afraid of hardship and started a campus errand service. He did a great job and helped many children from poor families like him.
Huang Guanggan froze, spinning in place, muttering to himself incessantly, looking completely bewildered.
Chen Niannian didn't interrupt, and just sat there quietly watching him.
After a while, Huang Guanggan returned to normal and exclaimed in amazement, "Niannian, how is your head shaped like this? How can it hold so much stuff? It's just different from ours."
"I've just lived a few decades longer than you, so I've heard and seen more," Chen Niannian thought to herself, but what she said aloud was, "Read more books on business in the future; it will benefit you."
"I'm going to print some business cards. I'll treat you to dinner later." Huang Guanggan was eager to prove himself against Yue Jiaoyang. He hurriedly said goodbye.
Just as Huang Guanggan turned around, he suddenly remembered something, walked to Chen Niannian's side, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I see you're getting quite close to Yue Jiaoyang now, what's your relationship?"
For some reason, Chen Niannian thought of Yue Jiaoyang's confession and felt a strange sense of guilt. Then she said awkwardly, "What other relationship could we have? Just like you, we're classmates."
"Then I'm relieved." Huang Guanggan felt a surge of joy upon hearing Chen Niannian's words.
Chen Niannian's heart stirred. Remembering what he had once said, she hesitated for a moment before saying earnestly, "Huang Guanggan, I consider you a good friend, the best kind of friend."
Huang Guanggan understood her meaning in an instant, and his lips immediately drooped. However, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said in a relaxed manner, "Even if the whole world opposes it, I will stick to my dream."
"Who do you think you are, to give the whole world the right to oppose you?" Chen Niannian rolled her eyes at him and said irritably.
Huang Guanggan: "..."
"Oh no, I have class this afternoon. I can't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving." Chen Niannian glanced at her watch and quickly ran towards the classroom.
"I'll take you there." Huang Guanggan quickly got on his bike and chased after them.
Chen Niannian nimbly leaped up and sat steadily on the back seat, leaving a series of crisp bell sounds on the campus road.
Inside a bespoke jewelry store, someone says, "This entire set of jewelry is finished. Are you satisfied with it?"
Yue Jiaoyang stared in amazement at the entire set of jewelry before him, even though he had been witnessing its design, processing, polishing, and improvement for over a month.
He already knew its shape very well, but he was still amazed when the finished product was completed.
It turned out that after Chen Niannian's answer in class last time, Yue Jiaoyang had a clear idea in his mind: he would take out that pink sapphire and make a set of tokens of love for her. A necklace, a ring, earrings, and a bracelet were all made.
It turns out that the pink gemstone he left behind was actually an extremely rare pink sapphire. When he brought it to this famous jewelry store in Beijing, the store owner was stunned and wanted to buy it at a high price.
But Yue Jiaoyang refused without even thinking. This was for Chen Niannian, and he wouldn't trade it for any amount of money.
Considering Chen Niannian's fondness for vintage jewelry, Yue Jiaoyang used Yue Mingyuan's connections to arrange this custom-made jewelry.
The owner of the jewelry store was also an acquaintance of Yue Mingyuan. Although the owner was disappointed that he did not get the rare gemstone, he still introduced the best craftsman in the store to Yue Jiaoyang.
After more than a month of work, it is finally finished.
This is a complete set of jewelry. The necklace is a gold necklace with a chain made of gold beads. The necklace has a gold clasp and a pendant at the bottom. The upper part of the pendant consists of two square ornaments set with sapphires, close to a round pink sapphire as a base. The lower part is a teardrop-shaped pink sapphire hanging below the base.
The main piece of pink sapphire was used to make the pendant of this necklace. The remaining scraps were polished and made into earrings and rings. The scattered pieces were all irregularly set into the bracelet in smaller, granular shapes, creating a messy yet beautiful effect.
Yue Jiaoyang was very satisfied with the finished product, so he took the jewelry home and sat at his desk, thinking about how to package it in a more romantic way.
Just thinking about the way Chen Niannian spoke so eloquently in class made Yue Jiaoyang smile, but the smile quickly disappeared.
Chen Niannian wouldn't accept such an expensive gift for no reason. He originally thought it would be more appropriate to give her this set of jewelry after they got together.
I just didn't expect that she wouldn't agree to be together yet, so now that I think about it, giving her this gift is a bit inappropriate.
Based on my understanding of her, she probably wouldn't accept it even as a birthday gift.
How should I give it to her? Yue Jiaoyang frowned.
