"Um."
Chen Feng nodded.
In a sense, starting a business can also be considered a part-time job.
After all, Chen Feng is still a college student, and his main focus is on studying.
"Pfft!"
Brother Chicken burst out laughing, "Chen Feng, can a part-time job really get you a Porsche?"
"This explanation is truly amazing, it's incredible!"
"Come on, tell me, what kind of part-time job can earn so much money?"
"Is it handing out flyers and tutoring? Or washing dishes in a restaurant?"
Before Chen Feng could answer, Du Jingyao interrupted, "Zhao Shanhe, you underestimate Chen Feng. The part-time job he's talking about isn't some small-time thing; he..."
"Jingyao, can you please stop making excuses for Chen Feng?"
Huang Lina interrupted, saying, "We are all college students supported by our parents. It's not honorable to spend our family's money, but it's understandable."
"It's one thing for Chen Feng to deny relying on his parents' financial support, but he shamelessly claims to be self-reliant and even fabricated the identity of an orphan."
"If he weren't so shameless, I would really want to call him shameless!"
"Well said!"
Brother Chicken immediately chimed in, "In all my years, I've never seen anyone as shameless as Chen Feng!"
Chen Feng glanced at Huang Lina and Brother Chicken, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
When subtle sarcasm failed, they switched to open mockery?
These two are way too low-level!
"Chen Feng, your accent doesn't sound like a local. You must be an out-of-town student who got into this ancient city, right?"
Brother Chicken looked at Chen Feng and asked.
Chen Feng remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"Although the ancient city is not as prosperous as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it can be said to be a place where hidden talents reside. No matter how good your family's economic conditions are, you can't expect to gain a foothold here without the help of a benefactor."
Brother Chicken arrogantly raised his head, almost pointing his nose at Chen Feng, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. Out-of-town students with unlikable personalities like yours are easily bullied."
"Of course, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can ask me for help."
"Whether in terms of economic strength or personal connections, I am someone you have to look up to."
Li Qing couldn't listen anymore. "Shan... Zhao Shanhe, you really misunderstood Chen Feng. What Chen Feng called part-time work is actually self-employment."
"Start your own business? You mean doing some small business?"
Brother Chicken scoffed dismissively, "Chen Feng, what kind of business do you run? Selling secondhand books and study materials, or peddling snacks and daily necessities on the streets?"
Li Qing glanced at Brother Chicken, her tone tinged with displeasure, "Zhao Shanhe, you're being a bit too narrow-minded."
"How could Shanhe look down on Chen Feng?"
Huang Lina spoke up for Brother Chicken, saying, "Yes, Chen Feng's family is rich, but how can a college student from out of town with no background or connections make a big business in the ancient city? Isn't that a joke?"
"In my opinion, Shanhe's words are all true, and he doesn't mean to look down on Chen Feng in the slightest."
"On the contrary, the three of you are simple-minded and don't even realize that you've been deceived."
"There are many wicked people in this world, so you must never easily believe what others say, especially those frivolous, rude, and heartless men!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng rolled his eyes.
The first half of Huang Lina's statement was a reasonably reasonable speculation, and it was passable.
But the second half is blatant satire and ridicule.
Even so, Huang Lina still felt unsatisfied.
As she pointed her finger at Chen Feng's nose, she turned to Li Qing, Cao Jiachen, and Du Jingyao and said, "I really can't understand, has Chen Feng cast some kind of evil spell on you? Why are you all protecting him?"
"Don't you feel disgusted listening to his nonsense and seeing him show off so arrogantly?"
Chen Feng's eyelid twitched.
Goodness.
Before I could even say a word, Huang Lina went from being sarcastic and mocking to launching a personal attack?
Is she the legendary number one trash-talker in the Chinese server?
Just as Chen Feng was about to retort, a series of knocks suddenly sounded on the door.
Then, the door to the private room was slowly pushed open.
Zong Yibin, the owner of Time Kitchen, appeared at the door. Behind him were more than a dozen adults, men and women, young and old, but everyone looked respectful and had a smile on their face.
"Mr. Chen, it is truly an honor for me, Mr. Zong, to have you visit my humble kitchen."
Almost instantly, everyone in the private room turned to look at Chen Feng.
There are many people with the surname Chen, but Chen Feng is the only one with the surname Chen in the private room.
Who else could the "Boss Chen" that Zong Yibin mentioned be but Chen Feng?
Chen Feng stood up. "Who are you?"
Zong Yibin stepped forward and shook Chen Feng's hand. "My name is Zong Yibin, and Time Kitchen is my business."
"So you're Boss Zong! I've heard so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Chen Feng first greeted them politely with a smile, then asked, "What about the people behind you...?"
"Oh, they are just like me, they are all shop owners on this commercial street."
"Did you need something from me?"
"That's right. We've heard that many businesses on campus have partnered with you, and we'd also like to advertise on Douyin and promote our products on your website."
Zong Yibin said very politely, "Do you have time later? We'd like to discuss cooperation with you."
News of the booming business at Sugar Snow Honey City had already spread beyond the school.
Originally, the shop owners on the commercial street outside the school were still observing. Like the first batch of more than ten owners, they were not sure whether Douyin could replicate the "miracle" of Tangxuemi City.
However, after learning that most of the merchants on the campus of Gucheng Finance and Economics had signed cooperation agreements with Douyin, the owners of these off-campus commercial streets panicked.
If Douyin didn't have some skills, why would its peers on campus be so eager to give it money?
Besides, it's better to be safe than sorry.
What if Douyin's promotional effects are really that amazing?
The "cake" of Gucheng Finance is only so big. If all the customers are left on campus, how will these off-campus bosses survive?
Therefore, Zong Yibin found Chen Feng's information through various channels and notified his neighbors as soon as Chen Feng appeared at Time Kitchen, wanting to sign a cooperation agreement with Chen Feng immediately.
"Tonight? Sorry, I'm not free tonight."
Chen Feng said apologetically, "As you can see, I'm having dinner with my classmates. How about this, you come to my office tomorrow morning to sign the agreement. It's in room 209 of the University Student Entrepreneurship Center, it's easy to find."
"We...can all sign cooperation agreements with Douyin?"
Zong Yibin asked with some unease.
His biggest worry is that the cooperation slots for Douyin will be filled by merchants on campus.
