Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

"Uraemia?"

Yu Youjia took the mobile phone handed over by Xu Niannian and answered the call from Xu Xing. After listening carefully to his story, she fell into deep thought for a while.

She stayed in the work-study department of the Student Affairs Center for two years and was promoted to the position of minister when she was a sophomore. She saw too many various poor families in the school.

Some parents died when they were young, some are single-parent families with financial constraints, some family members are seriously ill, and their family savings have returned to before liberation, and some are far away in remote villages, and they finally managed to get into big cities from there.

But a family's annual income may not be as much as an urban white-collar worker's monthly income.

Therefore, facing Zhang Nong's situation, Yu Youjia was calmer than Xu Xing and others. After confirming that Zhang Nong's need was just to find a part-time job, she looked at the time and said, "You are looking for one now."

Part-time job?”

"There's no rush now." Xu Xing said on the other end of the phone, "We have classes in the afternoon, we have to wait until class is over."

"That's just right." Yu Youjia nodded and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon. After you finish class, we will meet at the Student Affairs Center and help him select suitable part-time jobs there."

"Then it will be troublesome for senior sister."

"This is our responsibility." Yu Youjia said with a smile, "Don't tell Zhang Nong to worry too much. We have many part-time jobs here. As long as he works hard, he will definitely not be hungry."

"Well, thank you, senior sister." Xu Xing thanked him and then said, "Then let's meet in the evening?"

"Well, see you in the evening." Yu Youjia said this and was about to hang up the phone, but quickly said, "Wait a minute, has Zhang Nong applied for a poor student before?"

"I applied," Xu Xing said, "I am a first-level poor student who has just been approved."

"Not a particularly poor student?"

"No." Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can it still be changed to an extremely poor student?"

"Hmm...I'm not sure about this, but there have been exceptions before. After all, the bursary has not been issued yet, and there is actually room to modify the application." Yu Youjia considered it and said, "But the Student Affairs Center is only responsible for reviewing qualifications.

, you'd better ask Zhang Nong to tell the counselor about the situation and let the counselor see if there is any solution."

"Okay, I'll ask right away." Xu Xing nodded and said, "If you don't waste time, senior sister, should I hang up first?"

"Well, bye." Yu Youjia said, "Let's see you in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing immediately called Wu Zhiguo.

After hearing about the emergency at Zhang Nong's house, Wu Zhiguo immediately asked: "Where are you now?"

"On the way to the teaching building for class, we will arrive at the gate soon."

"Okay." There was a sound of chairs being pushed from Wu Zhiguo's side, followed by hurried footsteps, "Ask Zhang Nong to wait for me at the door of the teaching building. I will be there in a moment, and everyone else can go to class first."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing and others came to the door of the teaching building and asked Zhang Nong to wait for the counselor to come over: "If possible, Lao Wu should be able to help you upgrade the qualifications of poor students from level one to extremely poor students, then.

I can get an additional 1,000 yuan in scholarships.”

Zhang Nong looked at Xu Xing, then at Lu Pengyou and Jian Jiashu, pursed his lips, and finally could only say: "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?" Lu Pengyou patted him on the shoulder, "After getting through this, it will be a smooth road in the future. Good times are waiting for you. We roommates can help each other and we can get through it."

"I'll leave the rest to Teacher Wu." Jian Jiashu said with a smile, "Just cooperate with the teacher and there shouldn't be any big problem."

"Okay, let's go to class first." Xu Xing waved his hand and said while walking towards the stairs, "Brother Lu, take notes carefully in class later, remember to make up for Zhang Nong later."

"Damn, why me?"

"Who just said that roommates helped each other, now they don't admit it?"

"I think you want to fish for yourself, right? Yesterday I saw that you were not serious in class..."

…

The first class in the afternoon is Introduction to Computer Science.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Nong came back from outside and sat in the reserved seat next to Xu Xing.

Xu Xing saw that there was nothing unusual about his expression, so when the teacher was not paying attention, he asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

"Teacher Wu asked me to rewrite an application form, and then call my mother and ask the hospital over there to issue a diagnostic manual for uremia." Zhang Nong responded in a low voice, "Then Teacher Wu asked me to come back to class first.

, saying that he would handle the rest."

"Your mother didn't say anything, did she?"

"No, once I mentioned this certificate, I could apply for a particularly poor student and get an extra thousand yuan in scholarships, and Teacher Wu was also with me, so she had no doubts."

"That's good." Xu Xing patted his shoulder.

The two ended the conversation and started the class seriously.

Waiting until 4:50 in the afternoon, after attending four consecutive classes, Xu Xing and others were finally relieved. They didn't even bother to eat dinner and rushed to the Student Affairs Center.

"This way, this way!"

Xu Niannian waved to Xu Xing and others at the entrance of the corridor on the first floor.

"Why did you follow me here?" Xu Xing asked as he walked towards there.

"What are you doing? Can't I come over to help?" Xu Niannian looked at him sideways, and then said to Zhang Nong, "Let's go upstairs. You, Senior Sister Yu, are waiting upstairs."

The group then came to the office of the work-study department on the second floor. Yu Youjia was already waiting here. There was another sophomore boy sitting behind the desk, operating the computer.

"Here?" Yu Youjia pulled up the broken hair around her ears, said hello, then gently patted the table and said to the boy beside her, "Wei Siyuan, open the part-time system and help the junior to check the recent

Free part-time job.”

"Okay." Wei Siyuan, who was about to take over the post of minister from Yu Youjia, nodded seriously and started searching on the computer.

Zhang Nong also came to the desk at this time, and Yu Youjia asked: "Do you have any inclination for work? Or do you have any requirements?"

"I don't have any inclination, as long as I can make money." Zhang Nong rubbed his hands nervously, "If you ask... I hope it won't take up my class time."

"Of course." Yu Youjia smiled, looked at the part-time job information that Wei Siyuan had just found, and said one by one, "The part-time jobs on campus are currently relatively limited. The only ones left now are library administrators and supermarket cashiers.

, and jobs like canteen cashier.”

"The administrator at the library has a daily job of sorting out books at night, and punching in every night counts as 20 yuan."

"In supermarkets and canteens, they will be arranged according to students' class time, and it is also 20 yuan an hour."

"Of course, these are actually just to help students who are relatively strapped for living expenses earn a little money for food."

"If you are willing to work harder, a part-time job outside of school may be more suitable for you and you can earn more."

"What kind of part-time jobs are there outside of school?" Zhang Nong asked.

"Outside of school, the most common ones are to distribute leaflets, and then to be tutors. The salary of the former is average, but for tutors, the students in our school have good college entrance examination scores, and they can earn 80 to 100 yuan an hour."

At this point, Yu Youjia paused for a moment and then said, "By the way, we also have food delivery. Do you know the snack street opposite the school?"

"The spicy rice noodle shop over there is very popular, and they usually deliver food, but there is a shortage of delivery people. Most of the time, the owner of the shop delivers the food himself."

"We have also received a lot of part-time job requests from them, but delivering food is quite hard. The basic salary is only 500 a month, and then every order delivered will be counted as one yuan. It's more work and more reward."

After listening to Yu Youjia's introduction, Zhang Nong looked at the various part-time information displayed on the computer screen and quickly came up with his own answer.

…

At 5:20 in the evening, the snack street opposite the south gate of Min University.

Yu Youjia led a group of people to the rice noodle shop.

It was just time for dinner, so everyone simply ordered a bowl of rice noodles. Then Yu Youjia found the proprietress of this store, stopped her, and said with a smile: "Proprietress, I am the director of the service department at Min University. You were here before."

We posted part-time job recruitment information for delivery workers, right?"

"Oh, yes, that's the case." The landlady recalled a little and nodded.

Yu Youjia then introduced Zhang Nong to the shop owner, and while eating, he took Zhang Nong to have an in-depth understanding of the takeout process.

Xu Xing listened with great interest and realized that none of the surrounding shops seemed to have online takeout platforms yet?

Touching his chin and thinking carefully, Xu Xing had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Especially when after finishing the meal, the landlady took Zhang Nong to the front desk and taught him how to answer the phone and record takeout information, Xu Xing fell into deep thought.

From this perspective, the current takeout industry is quite rudimentary?

You actually need to be at the landline to receive takeout calls at any time, and then take a pen to write down the customer's phone number and takeout address in person. You also have to match the flavors and toppings the customer ordered one by one to avoid wrong delivery.

With such efficiency, it would be great to be able to deliver more than ten or twenty orders in one noon.

If the customers are all concentrated in the campus, we may be able to deliver thirty or forty orders, which would mean sixty or seventy orders at the end of the day.

After a month, even with a basic salary, I can earn an income of more than 2,000 yuan.

After all, it seems pretty good?

But for Zhang Nong, it is equivalent to basically giving up his own meal time.

"Doesn't this look too tiring?" Lu Pengyou on the side was a little stunned after hearing this, "How about just getting a tutor? If you teach for four hours on weekends, you can earn more than a thousand a month."

That's what he said, but after calculation, Zhang Nong found that he could have an income of more than 2,000, so he immediately nodded in agreement and turned to look at Lu Pengyou: "How about both of them? Then we can have an income of more than 2,000 yuan every month.

Three or four thousand."

"Don't work too hard." Jian Jiashu frowned, "You usually have to go to class. I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it."

"It's okay." Zhang Nong shook his head, "I also delivered newspapers and milk and so on in my hometown, and I passed the exam all the way. Now this is nothing."

"Come on, do it for a month first, and then talk about it later if you can't stand it anymore." Xu Xing already had some ideas in his mind at this time, but he couldn't act too hastily. He just encouraged, "If you can really make three or four thousand a month, you can do it in college."

I have no worries about food and clothing."

"That's true." Lu Pengyou grinned, "I don't even have that much living expenses for a month. Brother Nong, you are going to become a rich man now."

"I think you also need some part-time training." Xu Xing glanced at him and said, "Why don't you come and help Zhang Nong deliver food when you have time? The money you make will go to Zhang Nong."

"Damn, why don't you do it yourself?"

"If I come here, it's time to make a lot of money."

"...Who can't brag?"

While chatting at the table and eating rice noodles, Xu Xing took advantage of the boss's free time and asked casually, pretending to be unintentional: "Boss, how is your takeout business here?"

"It's pretty good, right?" the landlady said casually, "The main reason is that there are many students, and they all know how to call to order takeout. However, our staff is too busy here. If we don't find someone to help, we usually don't take out takeout during the busiest times.

Single.”

"What about Malatang next door? How is the takeout business?"

"They're not bad, but they definitely can't compare with ours." The proprietress smiled proudly, "How troublesome is the Malatang menu? Just to order an order, you have to write a long list, and you have to go there in person.

After I picked out the ingredients, I had three or four orders ready in the time it took me to place one order."

"What about the other stores? I see there is a Chinese restaurant and barbecue restaurant next to it."

"How can a barbecue restaurant deliver takeout? And it's extremely expensive." The proprietress shook her head repeatedly, "It's similar to a Chinese restaurant, with a dish costing more than ten or twenty yuan. There are students all around ordering takeout. Who would order such an expensive thing for a normal meal?

?It’s not as convenient as our rice noodles, which cost seven or eight yuan a bowl.”

After hearing this, Xu Xing nodded in understanding. After a little understanding, he stopped asking any more questions and settled down to enjoy his meal.

Xu Niannian next to me asked curiously: "Why are you asking so many questions? Do you want to find a store to deliver food part-time and earn pocket money?"

"That's what I think. What's wrong?" Xu Xing said with a smile, "If you are willing to give me some pocket money, then I won't think about anything else."

"What a beautiful idea you have." Xu Niannian rolled his eyes at him, then thought of something, smiled proudly and showed off, "Your sister, I just talked to the people at the studio today, and I have to go for an interview at the weekend.

Well, when I become a regular employee and my salary is several thousand a month, it won’t be too late for you to come and beg me again.”

Xu Xing: "..."

When you know that your salary is paid to you by your brother, let’s see if you still have the nerve to say this...

Xu Xing was a little ashamed, feeling embarrassed for his sister.

After eating, the group returned to school. Zhang Nong had already stayed in the shop and planned to start working during dinner.

After Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia sent them back to their dormitory, they walked to the dormitory building in the West District.

After Xu Xing walked into the dormitory building, he came out after a while and walked to the door of the girls' dormitory building diagonally opposite. He was met by Yan Chijuan who had just ran downstairs.

"Let's go." Xu Xing smiled at her, "I'm going to work overtime with my boss tonight."

"Yeah!" Yan Chijue ran down from the sixth floor in one breath, her face flushed, and her happy expression looked like she was going on a date rather than working overtime.

The two of them walked out of the school gate and took the subway, just in time for the evening rush hour.

Yan Chijuan gently grabbed Xu Xing's clothes, and his body was squeezed into Xu Xing's arms by the crowd.

Xu Xing was forced to hold her slender waist with one hand, and hold the handrail of the railing high with the other hand. He turned his head and looked at the site displayed on the wall of the carriage guiltily.

I don’t know what’s going on, but the close contact with Yan Chijuan seems to be becoming more and more natural recently.

The two of them approached each other in a tacit understanding, but neither of them said it clearly. They were teasing each other through the last layer of window paper, and they both felt itchy in their hearts.

After two stops, the two got off the subway, walked all the way to the entrepreneurial park, and walked into the office area where the lights were still on.

Xu Xing did not go to the boss's office in the middle first, but opened the door of the financial room next door and took a look inside.

As expected, Yao Yuanyuan is still here, but it seems that she is not working. She is leaning on the chair leisurely, holding the mouse in her right hand, looking at the computer and looking at something unknown.

"Still busy?"

Xu Xing asked inside.

"No, I'm just looking at the bill." Yao Yuanyuan seemed to be in a good mood, waving to the two people outside the door, "Come here, our game revenue from last month has arrived. I just finished the accounting and tax filing in the afternoon.

How many do you think there are?"

"Maybe one or two million." Xu Xing remembered that the final sales figure at the end of last month was more than 200,000 copies, so the income their studio received was almost this amount.

"There are so many." Yan Chijiu couldn't help but sigh, "I feel like I can't spend them all in a lifetime."

"Don't worry, such a small amount of money will probably be spent in the blink of an eye." Xu Xing thought of the Mihuyou team that he would meet on September 7th, and also thought of the companies in Kyoto where Li Zhibin was collecting information. When he heard

After Yan Chi's jealous sigh, he couldn't help but smile and said, "A few million shouldn't be enough to fill the gap between your teeth."

"Hey, hey, don't get carried away when you become the boss." Seeing this guy's arrogance, Yao Yuanyuan couldn't help but be speechless, and then showed the bill on the computer, "Well, the bill is here. After paying the tax, the total will be paid back

A net profit of more than 2.3 million was left."

"Well, not bad." Xu Xing's expression was calm. After all, it had been expected. However, as a result, they finally had the funds to recruit new employees and develop new projects.

On the other hand, Yan Chijiu, who was standing by, had already leaned in front of the computer and carefully counted the final total amount of the bill. After finally confirming that it was really more than two million, he felt that his breathing had stopped.

She had never seen so much money in her life.

Although they had previously calculated how much money their studio could make based on sales volume, the money had not yet been received at that time.

But now, there are really more than two million yuan, lying quietly in their studio's account.

This feeling is just like dreaming.

"Hey, when will our domestic version of Fruit Assassin be launched online?" Yao Yuanyuan was also a little excited, otherwise she wouldn't be sitting in front of the computer so happily looking at the bills so late. At this time, thinking of the huge domestic market, she couldn't help but get even more excited.

Get excited and look forward to it.

You have made so much money abroad, and there are many more domestic users than abroad. Then won’t you be able to make even more than you are now?

Even if they don't develop new games in the future, Yao Yuanyuan feels that their company has no worries about food and drink just by relying on Fruit Assassin.

Even if Xu Xing's ambitions were smaller, he would have chosen to quit at this time, earn hundreds of millions from Fruit Assassin, retire and enjoy life, that would be really nice.

But if it were to happen again, Xu Xing naturally didn't intend to spend it so simply.

"Didn't I bring my employees over here to work overtime? Try to get it done before the weekend." After Xu Xing finished speaking, he called Yan Chijuan and planned to go next door to work overtime.

At this time, Yao Yuanyuan opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of resumes, and asked Xu Xing: "Here are all my resumes that passed the preliminary screening, including the two you sent me this afternoon.

Do you want to take a look first?"

"No need." Xu Xing was in a hurry to get rid of the code and followed Yan Chijuan out of the finance room. He waved his hand and said, "Just help me classify them according to positions. I'll look at it on the day of the interview."

Anyway, the resume is just a simple screening tool. There is not much difference whether the interviewer reads it or not. At most, it can be used as a reference during the interview. In fact, the judgment is still based on the on-the-spot performance during the interview.

Xu Xing had accumulated a lot of interview experience in his previous life and was no stranger to this aspect, so he had no intention of wasting time looking at resumes.
