Chapter 119 Newcomer
The next morning, counselor Zhang Jingdong sent a notification to the group chat. Although he didn't name names, it was clear that it was about the outcome of the case involving the bespectacled man from the previous day.
A major demerit, coupled with a school-wide public reprimand, means that a person has to pay a heavy price for their momentary greed.
Chen Sui curiously beckoned Chen Che over to look at the report: "Chen Che, look, isn't that the person from yesterday?"
Chen Che nodded: "Mm."
"But didn't we all let it go yesterday? Even so... I feel even more relieved." Chen Sui tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips.
"Perhaps he finally realized his mistake after much painful reflection, so he went to the academic affairs office to confess his crimes," Chen Che said casually.
"Would anyone really do something like this...?" Chen Sui looked incredulous.
While Chen Sui was still pondering and wondering if Chen Che was secretly up to something again, otherwise, what was he doing at that time?
Chen Che started assigning her work, leaving her no time to think about the details and twists and turns involved:
"Squad leader, if you have nothing to do, help me edit a promotional video for our 'Zhengdian French Fries' platform. The skills you learn are only valuable if they are combined with production practice."
"What do you want to use it for?" Chen Sui asked.
"The engineering institute has already covered most of the market, so it's time to expand externally," Chen Che explained.
"Hmm," Chen Sui thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "I guess the next stop will be the School of Auditing?"
"You're smart, class monitor," Chen Che praised, though the reason wasn't hard to guess.
After all, the School of Auditing is very close to the School of Engineering, only a few kilometers away, and it only takes about ten minutes to get there by bicycle.
Once the School of Auditing is developed, the two schools will complement each other, making it easier to coordinate goods and personnel, which will definitely be a much more efficient approach.
"So, get to work!" Chen Che said, then suddenly revealed an ugly face that looked like it was about to be hung from a street lamp.
"Hmph~" Chen Sui rolled her eyes at him, but quickly got to work.
Chen Che was naturally not idle either; Xu Zhen and Chen Che were responsible for posting flyers and posters at the School of Auditing.
The two individuals will not be directly responsible for the business promotion and daily management of the School of Auditing, so a campus manager needs to be recruited to coordinate the work as a whole. This is both a delegation of authority and a new model.
Chen Sui was responsible for editing the promotional video for Mid-Hour French Fries and then posting it on the school forum and online communities of the School of Auditing for online promotion.
We must focus on both online and offline approaches, and do both well.
Everything is ready except for the final push. All channels have been opened, and Zhengdian Fries is about to usher in its first expansion, all it needs is the addition of a campus manager.
As a result, after waiting for several days, not only did no one come to interview for the campus manager position, but not even a single person called to inquire.
It seems that Stephen Chow was confidently hoping that the "bursting, pissing beef balls" would make a comeback, but no one wanted them and he had to give them away for free before he could barely sell the first serving.
They asked on the forum, but were immediately treated as some kind of trashy scammer and had their posts deleted ten times. The three of them could only stare at each other in the incubator.
"Junior, this shouldn't be happening," Xu Zhen sighed. "Our model is recognized by many distributors, and it's been implemented within the engineering college, so why isn't anyone coming?"
"Exactly," Chen Che sighed, "To be honest, college students shouldn't have that much awareness of scams, right?"
"...Huh?" Xu Zhen was taken aback and looked at Chen Che with a suspicious expression.
"Uh, what I mean is that college students are generally quite innocent and have a weak sense of fraud prevention, so shouldn't they rush to take advantage of any opportunity to make money? Of course, we are a legitimate company," Chen Che quickly explained.
After all, quite a few college students get scammed while trying to earn some pocket money by working part-time outside of school. It's not uncommon for them to have to pay a bunch of random fees before they've even earned any money. That's what being scammed means.
There's really no way around it. College students lack social experience, and the school's repeated propaganda is of little use. In the end, some people will always fall for it. You can't teach someone by teaching them; you can only learn from experience. Only by experiencing painful lessons yourself can you truly remember.
Just then, an unfamiliar face peeked in from the doorway. It was a bespectacled young man who asked in a soft, weak voice, "Hello, is this the headquarters of Whole Point Fries?"
Chen Che's eyes lit up. Had someone finally arrived?
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
The other person sounded a little nervous: "I saw that they seem to be recruiting student agents from the auditing school..."
Before the other person could finish speaking, Chen Che warmly greeted them, "Yes, yes, please come in."
The three of them then exchanged glances, pulled each other over to sit down, and sat upright opposite him.
The other person spoke first, looking around before asking, "Excuse me, don't you have anyone in charge here?"
"The person in charge? That's us." Chen Che patted his chest and said confidently.
"Huh?" This time, the other party was caught off guard.
"We are just a typical college student startup, and we handled everything ourselves," Chen Che explained proudly.
"I am the founder of this 'French Fries at the Hour' project. My name is Chen Che, and this is my partner, Xu Zhen."
Xu Zhen nodded slightly in greeting.
Chen Che then introduced Chen Sui, who was standing next to him: "This is our... um, General Manager, Chen Sui, General Manager Chen."
As the other person watched Chen Che introduce the group of people, who were all college students of the same age, yet were seriously referring to them as founders, general managers, and other such positions, the contrast made him a little uneasy.
"Hey, you want to interview for the campus manager position at our fries shop, right?" Chen Che asked with a serious expression.
"Uh..." The other person paused, then scratched their head and said, "Well, I just came to check things out first, and I haven't decided whether to do it or not yet..."
"Oh, it's alright. Since you're already here, let's just talk about your thoughts. Although our interviews are quite rigorous, you don't need to be too nervous. You still have a good chance," Chen Che said.
Hearing Chen Che's words, Xu Zhen hesitated for a moment and whispered in his ear, "Junior, it's not easy for someone to express interest in this collaboration and even came to investigate in person. Don't scare them away, will you?"
"Besides, when have we ever prepared any rigorous assessment and interview process?"
Chen Che gave Xu Zhen a disgruntled look and replied in a low voice, "What else can we do? We still have to go through the proper procedures, right?"
"All right."
After the two exchanged a few words in private, Chen Che asked the other person to introduce themselves first, as this was the most basic thing.
The boy spoke somewhat nervously and shyly: "Everyone, my name is Lu Xiuyang, and I'm a student from the Auditing College next door."
