Over the next half-month, we’ll split forces between Shanghai and Lin’an, aiming to initially open up the market before mid-July.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying grew serious; they had only considered expanding to one more city, but now splitting into two locations clearly stemmed from the shock of the recent incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lu Haiying raised her hand and said: “Senior Brother, the NetEase reporter said they’ll come for an interview on Friday…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling was bewildered: “Reporter? What reporter? What interview?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing was also surprised: “They’re really coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured for Lu Haiying to explain the situation to Zhong Zhiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Zhong Zhiling learned that his senior brother and girlfriend had taken considerable action to rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Securing accounting evidence, registering the mainland company, acting as a middleman between media and the university, seeking professors’ help, and confirming personnel for the bureau…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haiying’s description wasn’t vivid, but her concern for her boyfriend was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhiling, you held up under pressure inside; she bore equal pressure outside,” Yu Xing praised. “This time, Xiao Ying showed spirit, didn’t lose face, and treated people with sincerity—no wonder she’s the deputy in charge of expanding Gui’ai Network’s operations in Jin Ling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In half a month, you go to Shanghai, and you go to Lin’an—Xiao Ying will surely manage operations well in Jin Ling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haiying, flattered by the praise, blushed and quickly demurred: “I just did what any ordinary second-in-command should do—the strategy was all set by Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third-in-command Zhong Zhiling, standing nearby, slightly pursed his lips—was this rank permanently fixed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that’s enough for today. Call your intern staff tonight, calm their emotions, and resume work tomorrow,” Yu Xing stood up, concluding the reflection on this unexpected incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after Yu Xing left, Lu Haiying still asked Zhong Zhiling with lingering concern: “We’re still running business tomorrow—what if, what if…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared the current business model might attract further crackdowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling, however, grew even more resolute: “First time’s a shock, second time’s routine—if we stop now, wasn’t my arrest pointless?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts have proven the business can make money; even with today’s incident, it’s like a cat tasting meat—the restlessness hasn’t faded, it’s grown stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go for a walk by the lake—I’ll call a few interns on the way,” Zhong Zhiling stood up, already thinking about tomorrow’s work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haiying had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling strolled along the lakeside, his calls to the interns all following the same pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrested? Haha, I’m out now—the company’s fine, those guys just don’t understand our business and wanted to ask questions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think registering one million yuan in capital is a joke? Do you get it now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our business won’t be limited to Jin Ling—this is just the first step into the mainland. Feng Zongze, Cui Jingwei, Yan Qiuzhen, Qiu Shixiu—I think you’ve got drive. Seize this opportunity for company growth; there are limited slots for full-time positions. Don’t mention this to anyone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being arrested and released, Zhong Zhiling spoke with greater maturity and confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the third-in-command of Gui’ai Network had been publicly apprehended, some interns had already considered quitting, unwilling to join a project targeted by the authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Zhiling’s swift return sent a powerful signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either this company truly has connections, or its business is genuinely legitimate—otherwise, how could you explain it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond calming interns who knew the full situation, Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying also notified those still awaiting results; after careful tallying, 118 of the original 138 university students who signed up remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t entirely due to the crackdown—some had simply changed plans: traveling, returning home, or joining other companies…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the 299-yuan dating package they bought to qualify for the Gui’ai Network internship…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t care, and Gui’ai Network cared even less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On June 24, Gui’ai Network’s second-in-command Lu Haiying led the interns straight to Xianlin University Town; third-in-command Zhong Zhiling headed to Jiangning University Town; while first-in-command Yu Xing needed to briefly explain the situation to the university before leading a team to Pukou University Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing offered no further explanation—he first obtained an official business license from a scalper, then showed it alongside the Hong Kong company’s registration certificate to university leaders, completing the current framework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hong Kong company had authorized the business, effectively outsourcing the dating contract product to the mainland company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is all this nonsense? Stop it immediately—shut it all down!” Head of General Affairs Zhang, barely holding back, issued a cease-and-desist order after listening to the graduate student’s presentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is normal business operation—legal and compliant,” Yu Xing said calmly. “We can’t stop. How could we possibly stop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang looked at the student and offered a kindly warning: “Do you still want to finish your studies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this question, Yu Xing could only helplessly pack all documents into his backpack and replied with two words: “Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first-in-command of Gui’ai Network ended his unpleasant meeting with university leaders, walked out of the office and his alma mater’s campus, and led the thirteen interns who had been waiting to head straight for Pukou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Yu Xing would personally lead the charge in Civil Engineering, sweeping away the gloom of yesterday’s incident.\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-19T22:51:34.189Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1c7905cddbf1cd71e0658f9973f7a029f272eb56f4096d2c29fa5ddd4a680761","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-27","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-25",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhat-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-cover.jpg"]
