Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

The previous owner of the courier station had planted some cucumbers inside, which hadn't borne fruit yet by the time it came under Zhou Yuwen's management. Zhou Yuwen also liked to fuss over these plants.

Not only did he take care of the cucumbers so they thrived, he even planted some extra vegetables.

However, this morning, no matter how Zhou Yuwen counted, something seemed off. Why were there two cucumbers missing?

Jiang Xinyi wasn't wearing her OL suit today, just simple overalls and sneakers. Facing the early morning sun, she felt cheerful. "Hey, those cucumbers yesterday were really crispy. I don't know who planted them, but I'll steal two more today."

As a result, early in the morning, she saw Zhou Yuwen standing there, frowning deeply.

Jiang Xinyi greeted him openly, "Morning, what are you up to?"

Zhou Yuwen said, "I clearly remember there were eighteen cucumbers when I counted yesterday. I don't know what happened, but there were two missing when I watered them this morning."

"Uh, maybe some greedy thief took them?" Jiang Xinyi suddenly felt guilty.

Zhou Yuwen said, "I don't know who could be that greedy."

Jiang Xinyi cleared her throat and said, "I better go get busy then."

Zhou Yuwen truly didn't know who had stolen his cucumbers. He would have to have Gao Yang keep a good watch for him.

There were many people picking up parcels these days. Zhou Yuwen would come over to help when he was free.

Zheng Yanyan, with her missy upbringing, disliked doing such rough work. Lu Lin, having nothing much to do, would volunteer at the courier station.

When Zheng Yanyan went shopping and couldn't find anyone, she asked, "Where's Lu Lin?"

Lu Lin said, "At the courier station, didn't I tell you? I'm working part-time there."

"Wow~ so motivated. I'll ask Zhou Yuwen to give you a raise," Zheng Yanyan, lying on her dorm bed, swinging her legs, said.

Lu Lin hummed and said, "Thanks."

Zheng Yanyan didn't find anything wrong with Lu Lin wanting to work part-time at the station. After all, she was Zhou Yuwen's girlfriend, not someone who should be doing rough tasks. She just needed to be pretty, that's all~

The fact that Zhou Yuwen owned the courier station quickly became known to the students in his class, although everyone knew the latest courier company was started by Zhou Yuwen's friend.

Zhou Yuwen could only be considered a contractor of the courier station.

Even so, students still regarded Zhou Yuwen with high esteem. Whenever they picked up parcels and saw Zhou Yuwen busying himself, they would greet him openly.

Li Qiang even volunteered to help. After helping out briefly, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Yuwen, "Brother Zhou, that Xianlin Labor, it's really your friend's company, huh?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Zhou Yuwen was curious.

Li Qiang felt a bit embarrassed to speak up. He then said, "I heard that our school has a 'Xu Huai Club.' Brother Zhou, do you know about it?"

"That, I'm not very sure about."

Zhou Yuwen truly didn't know much about the Xu Huai Club. Then Li Qiang told Zhou Yuwen that the big boss of the Xu Huai Club was Liu Shuo.

He then tentatively asked, "Some also say that the big boss of the Xu Huai Club is you."

"That's just a joke. What Xu Huai Club, what era do you think this is? You shouldn't speak nonsense," Zhou Yuwen said.

Li Qiang grinned. "I said the same to our minister, but he told me I didn't understand. Brother Zhou, your fellow villager is really impressive. Our minister can't even find people for part-time jobs anymore."

"Oh, is that so?" Zhou Yuwen smiled.

Li Qiang was frustrated as he spoke, "Damn, I just found out recently."

"Our minister is really shady. Originally, the wedding part-time gigs were paying one hundred, or one hundred and ten, but that son of a gun only gave us ninety initially. Recently, a few of us brothers went to confront him, and he actually said that this is the rule! Wherever you go, you have to pay a cut," Li Qiang said.

"His mother, the Xu Huai Club doesn't take a cut. I did it, and now my brothers have all joined the Xu Huai Club," Li Qiang said.

Zhou Yuwen uttered a sound of acknowledgment, "So you didn't join?"

"Well, I thought about joining, but then I thought, if everyone else left, wouldn't there be no one left on my minister's side?"

Zhou Yuwen said, "Didn't realize you were so loyal?"

"Of course. Brother Zhou, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Previously, a few freshman students had gone together to demand money from the Minister of External Relations, but Li Qiang hadn't joined them, since the Minister had previously had a few drinks alone with Li Qiang. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

Meng Lei patted Li Qiang on the shoulder many times, saying, "Of all the students in your year, you're the one I'm most hopeful about."

"Kid, work hard. Next year, I have to intern, and if someone else takes over External Relations, I won't feel reassured. It must be you. We got along right from the start, I really think of you as a brother!"

With such words said, when other part-timers asked Li Qiang to join them to confront Meng Lei for an explanation, Li Qiang straight up chickened out and didn't go.

Now, nearly everyone around Meng Lei had left, leaving only Li Qiang still faithfully sticking by Meng Lei's side.

Meng Lei was genuinely touched and said, "Brother, adversity shows true friendship. Only now do I know who my true brothers are!"

Now, Li Qiang was still at External Relations, but he no longer worked part-time there, mainly because he practically couldn't anymore since the Xu Huai Club had monopolized nearly ninety percent of the part-time jobs in the university town.

Now, anyone looking for part-time jobs outside first had to get past the Xu Huai Club.

Even though the Xu Huai Club forced the prices for part-timers up, the outside labor companies couldn't complain, and some even started negotiating directly with the Xu Huai Club.

Honestly, when Zhou Yuwen had Liu Shuo start negotiating with the external labor companies, he truly had the students' best interests at heart.
