Chapter 24: The Brick-Wielding Girl (Please Follow to Read)

"For the recharge commission rate, I want 80%!"

Chen Yansen stopped, stared straight at the other person, and spoke word by word.

"Impossible. No such high commission rate exists in the entire Hui'an Province. At most, I can fight for 50% for you."

Zhao Maolin shook his head and refused outright without a second thought.

"70%. That is my bottom line."

Chen Yansen's gaze darkened slightly, his tone firm, and while speaking, he carefully observed the subtle changes on Zhao Maolin's face.

"Xiao Chen, my ceiling is at 60%. Don't test me anymore. To be honest with you, the other two companies absolutely won't exceed this ratio either."

Zhao Maolin pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness as he explained with a sincere tone.

"Manager Zhao, a pleasant cooperation."

Chen Yansen's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, revealing a set of big white teeth, and he grinned as he extended his right hand.

A 90% commission rate would indeed exist in the future, but that was fifteen years later; at this starting stage of the booming mobile internet, the game between operators had clearly not yet reached a fever pitch.

"Now, can you finally tell me which school's students you are?"

Zhao Maolin laughed heartily and asked while shaking his hand.

"Xucheng Academy, Class of 2010 freshman, Chen Yansen."

"Xucheng Academy, Class of 2010 freshman, Wang Zihao."

After exchanging a glance, Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao laughed simultaneously and introduced themselves one after the other.

"You two really are talents, damn it!"

The smile on Zhao Maolin's face instantly froze, leaving him speechless between laughter and tears.

Just ten minutes ago, one of them claimed to be named Chen Heyu and the other said his name was Wang Zhengxuan; apparently, neither had reported their real names.

However, he could understand; if they hadn't secured the agency rights, it would mean deceiving over 1,000 freshmen. Once their true identities were revealed, they probably wouldn't even be able to continue their studies, as the school would surely hold the two of them accountable.

At best, they'd get a disciplinary record; at worst, they'd be expelled!

"Manager Zhao, will the materials be ready in time tomorrow?"

Chen Yansen smiled faintly and asked proactively.

Since the content of all campus card packages had changed slightly, the content on the posters, banners, and flyers naturally needed corresponding adjustments.

"Why still call me Manager Zhao? That's too distant. Call me Brother Zhao from now on. Don't worry about the materials; we have our own printing factory and can rush them out tonight."

Zhao Maolin looked at the two of them, his eyes full of admiration.

When he was their age, he didn't have this kind of courage and intellect.

As the saying goes, respect the clothes before respecting the person. Judging from their attire, it wasn't hard to see that Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao came from wealthy families, and combined with their outstanding abilities, it made him even more eager to befriend them.

Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao immediately started calling him "Brother Zhao" one after another, and for a moment, the three of them were as warm as long-lost brothers.

The final trivial details were also agreed upon amidst laughter and joy.

"Xiao Gu, for the next few days, you'll follow Xiao Chen and help him coordinate the staffing arrangements for the campus business hall."

Zhao Maolin called the uniformed girl over and said.

Although Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao looked steady and reliable, they were both solid freshmen; handling interpersonal relationships might not be mature or experienced enough for them, and there was no guarantee they wouldn't clash with the regional agents, thereby affecting this year's campus card business.

Furthermore, sending one of his own people would prevent subordinates from putting in the appearance of work without actual effort.

"Okay, Manager Zhao."

Gu Wenwen nodded, looked at Chen Yansen with a complex expression, and couldn't help but mutter inwardly: "The prettier the woman, the better she lies; handsome men are the same."

After a brief exchange, they exchanged contact information.

Afterwards, Zhao Maolin warmly stood up to see the two off.

Chen Yansen took out his car keys, pressed them lightly, and the Mercedes-Benz E300 parked by the roadside unlocked with a beep, its lights turning on.

Seeing this, Zhao Maolin was secretly shocked in his heart, raising his evaluation of Chen Yansen even higher, and quickly praised aloud: "Brother Chen is truly young and promising; driving a Mercedes-Benz as a freshman."

"Brother Zhao, to be honest with you, I rented the car."

Chen Yansen squinted his eyes and told the truth.

"Hahaha, young people are just humble! Once these few days are busy over, I'll treat you, and take you to Galaxy Star to relax."

The more Chen Yansen said this, the less Zhao Maolin believed it.

In his opinion, Chen Yansen was obviously a second-generation rich kid, and his desire to befriend him grew even stronger.

"Old pervert!"

Gu Wenwen spat inwardly. As a local, she naturally knew the name of Galaxy Star; even a decent person would blush just glancing inside; how could it be a good place?

"Mm, Sister Xiao Gu, then we'll see you tomorrow."

Relaxed in mood, Chen Yansen nodded and finally took a moment to size up Gu Wenwen; her figure was fleshy, and a light gray uniform worn on her body actually looked a bit tight.

Pity, she was wearing flesh-colored stockings on her calves.

He preferred white stockings.

"Big liar! Little pervert!"

Seeing him staring at her shamelessly, Gu Wenwen cursed inwardly, but with the leader right beside her, she didn't dare to explode; she just smiled and replied: "Little brother, drive with focus, okay?"

Little?

Mine is huge, off the charts, okay!

Chen Yansen rolled his eyes at her, waved to Zhao Maolin, then rolled up the window and drove towards the East Campus of Xucheng Academy.

Halfway there.

"The West Campus is handed over to the sub-agents to handle; we don't need to run back and forth anymore and can focus on expanding the East District market."

Chen Yansen said to Wang Zihao.

"Brother Sen, recently, I feel like I'm in a dream. First we resold MP3s and MP4s, and now we're doing the phone card business. Honestly, if you hadn't been leading me, I'd probably still be in the internet cafe playing CrossFire."

Wang Zihao hummed in agreement, then sighed with a wistful expression.

"If you still want to play games, I won't stop you."

Chen Yansen knew exactly what he meant, but teased him anyway.

"Hehe, how could any game compare to cash?"

Wang Zihao grinned, revealing a row of bright white teeth, then slumped back onto the leather seat, rubbing himself against it, savoring its soft elasticity, utterly delighted.

Chen Yansen smiled but said nothing more.

After a while, Wang Zihao sensed something was off—he suddenly sat upright and asked, "Sen-ge, aren't we lost? Why does it feel like we're getting farther and farther from anywhere?"

The scenery outside the window grew increasingly desolate, the surroundings indistinguishable from a rural village.

"Do you know what the nickname of Xu City College is?"

Chen Yansen smiled, lips curling, and asked in return.

"No idea."

Wang Zihao shook his head, face full of confusion, utterly baffled by Chen Yansen's words.

"Zhu Xian Town University, Dong Er Pu University, hahaha!"

Chen Yansen gripped the steering wheel and burst into loud laughter.

At that time, the eastern campus of Xu City College lay far from the city, nestled in Zhu Xian Town, surrounded on three sides by farmland and bordering a village—lie in your dorm bed and you'd see endless waves of wheat; step out the school gate and within a few steps you'd reach the CBD of the neighboring village.

"What the hell! No way!"

Wang Zihao had no more interest in the luxury car's comfort—he stared fixedly out the window, but as the streets grew ever more desolate, his heart sank.

He instantly deflated!

"How about I take you for a quick tour of the campus first?"

Chen Yansen suggested.

Originally, the two had planned to check into a hotel by the school gate and have lunch.

Since they'd arrived a day early, before registration began, they couldn't stay in the dorms.

"Nah, let's just eat first. Where there's a will, there's a way."

Wang Zihao thought for a moment, then declined Chen Yansen's offer—he didn't want to look like a coward in front of his best friend.

The car kept driving.

"Boom—"

Summer's weather changed in an instant—dark clouds rolled in, and pea-sized raindrops pattered down hard, the air thick with the scent of dust.

The rain grew fiercer, pouring down in torrents.

A fine curtain of rain blurred the view ahead, leaving everything hazy.

Just then, the school gate faintly appeared—they'd finally arrived!

As Chen Yansen barely stopped the car, a sudden, urgent, angry knocking rang out against the window: "Tap-tap-tap!"

"Who the hell? Are you crazy?"

Chen Yansen instinctively rolled down the window, frowning in annoyance.

In the pouring rain stood a girl with an oval face, wearing a torn white raincoat, her hair plastered to her cheeks, her eyelids reddened.

She raised a brick in one hand and struggled to drag a suitcase with the other, shouting angrily at Chen Yansen: "You're the one who's crazy! Can't you watch where you're driving? You splashed filthy water all over me!"
