Chapter 52: The Wuxia Legend of Z-Building 101

Yang Tianxing took the new agreement, which clearly stated that the total collection volume for the five schools must reach 1,200 items per day, with a commission of 1 yuan per item.

Although the standard had been raised again, Yang Tianxing had a good idea of the situation and signed the agreement readily.

The agreement was in duplicate, and Zhang Liye also had to sign it; as he wrote, he asked, "Can the abandoned rooms at your school be used yet?"

"I've already gotten the keys; I just need to clean them up over the next two days," Yang Tianxing replied.

Zhang Liye nodded with satisfaction; with the signing of the agreement, Zhang Liye and Yang Tianxing were, in a sense, a community of shared interests.

Yang Tianxing's platform and capabilities were both quite good, especially with tens of thousands of people at the nearby universities, and Zhang Liye was becoming increasingly optimistic about this market.

"Is there any other support you need from my side?"

Out of concern, Zhang Liye added a polite remark.

Yang Tianxing immediately took the opening: "I would like to apply for a promotional budget; the promotion at these five schools has been very poor, and it needs to be re-promoted."

"How much are you planning to apply for?" Zhang Liye asked.

"About 5,000 yuan."

Yang Tianxing stated the approximate figure; this promotional budget included banners, printing flyers, purchasing tools, and so on.

However, Zhang Liye did not agree.

"Manager Yang, if you were my direct subordinate, I would definitely have approved the 5,000 yuan, but your current way of operating is too independent; in the future, I wouldn't be able to intervene at all other than collecting money."

Yang Tianxing emphasized: "I am still Manager Zhang's subordinate, after all."

Zhang Liye shook his head: "That can only be considered nominal; you are more like an independent downline who bears their own profits and losses. However, I can consider the 5,000 yuan as a loan to you—you don't even need to write an IOU—but it must be repaid."

Yang Tianxing thought for a moment: "Alright then, I'll take the loan."

Zhang Liye took out 5,000 yuan directly and placed it on the table, adding: "Wang Jundong is preparing to resign; he is going to be a campus agent for another newly established courier company, Zhongtong Express."

"Whatever."

Yang Tianxing said indifferently: "It doesn't matter where he goes, but whoever steals my market, I will smash their rice bowl."

……………

Hua Xiaoyu and the others were waiting downstairs; after discussing it, they all reached the conclusion that Vice Minister Yang must have gone to solicit sponsorship.

However, no one held much hope for the amount; Xiong Jiayi pursed her lips and said: "This company is so run-down, I think it would be good if they could sponsor 200."

Zhu Bin and Ma Yuansong were both discussing where to go next when, before long, Yang Tianxing walked downstairs carrying a bag.

They crowded around and asked: "Minister Yang, how much sponsorship did you raise, and where are we going next?"

Yang Tianxing was somewhat bewildered: "Back to school, of course."

"What about the 1,000 yuan sponsorship fee?"

Hua Xiaoyu asked hurriedly.

With a "swish," Yang Tianxing opened the cloth bag, revealing a pile of colorful bills: "There's 5,000 yuan here, is that enough?"

"Enough, it's enough."

Hua Xiaoyu's mouth hung open: "You actually managed to pull in so much sponsorship."

"I told you that you wouldn't learn anything in the Student Union, because once I take action, the problem is solved."

Although this remark of Yang Tianxing's was quite annoying, facts do not lie, and the 5,000 yuan was still lying quietly in the bag.

On the way back to school, the new committee members were in a complicated mood.

On one hand, there was frustration; because Yang Tianxing's performance was too outstanding, it made everyone else in the Liaison Department seem too mediocre, even though Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Brother Xun were also working very hard.

On the other hand, there was excitement; young people are always curious about things beyond their understanding, and they really wanted to know how Yang Tianxing managed to get the sponsorship.

With various emotions intertwined, the atmosphere remained somewhat silent.

Yang Tianxing walked behind with a cigarette in his mouth, feeling that it was about time to speak up: "Actually, besides the Student Union, part-time work is harder and better for training people, and the Student Union is considered volunteer labor, while part-time work can also earn you money."

Xiong Jiayi glanced at Yang Tianxing: "But where can we find part-time jobs? I don't want to go to places like the library or the cafeteria; I always feel like wiping tables and organizing bookshelves is a bit restrictive."

Zhu Bin agreed with this point of view and added: "The contact surface in the library and cafeteria is too narrow; I want to exercise my social skills through communication."

"Actually, you can exercise your abilities by working anywhere; the most important thing is to have the right mindset."

Yang Tianxing disagreed with this view, but didn't argue deeply: "I happen to have a part-time position here that doesn't require wiping tables, and it has plenty of opportunities for external communication."

"What position?"

Zhu Bin asked curiously.

At this moment, they had walked back to the first floor of Building F of the teaching building. Yang Tianxing pointed to two abandoned utility rooms and said: "A courier company is preparing to set up a business site here. I am the station manager, and I am currently short of people; I am looking to recruit and build a team to accomplish something."

"Whoever joins first will be a founding member; not only can you train your abilities, but the benefits are also good. Once you reach a certain level of performance, you'll even be equipped with a pager, or even a mobile phone."

As Yang Tianxing spoke, he took out his mobile phone and wiped the screen casually.

"Minister Yang, what exactly will we be doing?"

Ma Yuansong asked, looking at Yang Tianxing's mobile phone with envy.

"Distributing flyers, running to dormitories, negotiating projects—in short, expanding the visibility of Z-Building 101 within the school, so that all teachers and students know that they can send couriers here."

"This is an entrepreneurial project supported by the school's Youth League Committee; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get these two rooms."

"At that time, we will be both colleagues in the Student Union and partners on the path of part-time entrepreneurship."

"You won't have any risks, because I will bear all the risks, but you must obey the team's orders and deepen your sense of cooperation."

……………

Under Yang Tianxing's patient guidance, Hua Xiaoyu, who had a rather adventurous spirit, decided to give it a try.

"Minister Yang, if we work part-time here, will Senior Sister Zhang Wei have any objections?"

Yang Tianxing rolled his eyes: "What objections could she have? If it really comes to it, I'll recruit her too. By then, the Liaison Department will be Z-Building 101 of the Finance Institute, and Z-Building 101 of the Finance Institute will be the Liaison Department."

"Alright then, I'll work part-time here!"

Hua Xiaoyu agreed immediately. Seeing that Hua Xiaoyu had agreed, the others also felt that there was no harm in trying.

"Then thank you all for your trust. Z-Building 101 will definitely resound throughout the Finance Institute in our hands."

The young freshmen lacked social experience; if Zhang Liye were here, he would certainly have noticed that Yang Tianxing was diluting the brand influence of "Shentong Express" and replacing it with "Building Z, 101."

"Our team will grow larger in the future. To increase the fun and recognizability, let's all pick a nickname or a pseudonym."

Yang Tianxing said with a smile: "Let's pick them from wuxia novels. I'll be Zhang Wuji, and you all can choose from the rest."

Hua Xiaoyu was very curious: "Department Head Yang, why did you choose Zhang Wuji?"

"I think he was too foolish. Since Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao were both so beautiful, why marry Zhao Min? I want to change his indecisive personality; adults never do multiple-choice questions, I want them all!" Yang Tianxing said with a smile.

"Department Head Yang is quite the romantic figure."

"I'm going to tell your girlfriend later!"

"Hurry up and plug our mouths with a cup of milk tea!"

Yang Tianxing's remark immediately closed the distance between the few officers, and Hua Xiaoyu said loudly: "Then I'll be Huang Rong!"

Xiong Jiayi was not to be outdone: "Then I'll be Ming Yuexin; I liked her so much when I watched 'The Magic Blade'."

"I'll choose Duan Yu."

Ma Yuansong also claimed a classic character.

Zhu Bin said mischievously: "Then I'll be Duan Zhengchun."

"Fuck, you aren't allowed to be my dad!"
