Chapter 27: 026 Easy

Yu Xing had a brief conversation with Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying on the morning the business relaunched, primarily emphasizing that they should start with the easy before tackling the hard.

After all, this was a brand-new business, and all current staff were intern college students; the first hurdle to overcome was their fear.

Yu Xing didn’t look down on them—he simply recognized that some had zero work experience, and a few even dared not speak to him, instinctively avoiding his gaze.

First, they needed to build the interns’ confidence, then leverage them to sell the product; those who performed well would be promoted to team leaders to energize the group and stimulate sales growth.

This batch of 118 interns at Guai Ai Network would inevitably undergo rapid screening, followed by subsequent replenishments.

According to Yu Xing’s plan, once initial growth slowed, the team size would naturally shrink, eliminating the need to hire more newcomers—only maintaining ties with major universities.

Although the current goal was to polish the company into an attractive product, whether it would succeed remained uncertain; the company’s structure needed clear definition, just in case.

Carrying this mindset, Yu Xing led the team to Nan Gong University, found the College of Civil Engineering, borrowed a table, and had the interns hang up banners.

——College Student Dating Survey!

As soon as the banner unfurled, the Guai Ai Network interns—who had been standing, sitting, or squatting—soon grew uneasy under the constant stares from passersby.

Yu Xing felt no discomfort; he merely observed the campus—and indeed, he saw almost no female students.

Just three minutes later, a single red amid a sea of green: a student couple arrived at the table amid ambiguous glances from others, asking about the survey.

Yu Xing confidently explained the survey, discussed marriage probability, and casually promoted the product.

Again, just three minutes later, the rare couple made a decision: the man promptly paid 299 yuan, pledging—We’re serious, we’re aiming for marriage!

“Classmate, our survey has a limited number of slots—after all, the value of roses far exceeds this 299,” Yu Xing called out to the couple after they placed their order, speaking gently, “but I see you two are made for each other—if you have friends who also have partners, bring them over; if they join too, your 999-rose wedding package upgrades to 1314.”

The man politely asked: “Just fill out the questionnaire?”

Yu Xing shrugged: “Of course, we’ll need long-term follow-ups—we’ll conduct periodic check-ins over the next three years. The company has operational costs; you understand that, right?”

The man easily understood—of course! The company had costs too!

He quickly decided: “Alright, I’ll call my friend right away—hold this slot for me!”

Yu Xing shook his hand, easily closing their first sale.

In the past few days, the originally designed direct-sales elements hadn’t been used yet—he wanted to observe how the product actually performed in the field—but the incident with the third manager being caught had served as a wake-up call: the company must accelerate promotion further.

“How’s it going? Not hard, right? You see the demand, don’t you?”

Yu Xing collected the money and asked the observing interns.

All 13 interns shook their heads—it really wasn’t hard, just a few minutes total.

“Good, then it’s your turn,” Yu Xing immediately stepped aside, casually arranged the order, and signaled they’d now train one by one.

The evidence proved the conversion rate at the College of Civil Engineering was exceptionally high.

The frequency wasn’t high—but it was steady!

Almost every couple passing by the table stopped to inquire, and almost every inquiring couple willingly agreed to become long-term tracking targets.

Yet, after all 13 interns had taken their turn, Yu Xing couldn’t help pointing out a few minor issues.

“Alright, everyone, repeat after me softly—we’re facing customers, so we must deliver the most appropriate emotional value. Open your mouths, softly, come on.”

“Your love is touching.”

“You two are perfectly matched, made for each other.”

“I believe you’ll significantly raise our survey’s marriage probability.”

“Thank you, and may you succeed all the way to the end.”

Yu Xing provided some basic templates.

He’d just noticed some interns were too shy to even utter these simple phrases—others had to help them out.

“Feng Zongze’s performance was excellent just now—very proactive and energetic. Everyone, learn from him,” Yu Xing named another intern and announced the promotion path: “Those who complete three orders first will become team leaders. Everyone, push hard.”

Feng Zongze, called out, nodded eagerly—it wasn’t hard! It really wasn’t hard!

He’d just been imitating the senior student’s conversation—but honestly… he felt the main reason was that the couples seemed genuinely willing; if the customer wanted to buy, how could the seller not want to sell?

Feng Zongze quietly calculated the orders from this half-day: including the senior’s sale, that was 14 orders—4,186 yuan total. At the highest commission rate, he’d earn 2,800 yuan.

If he could achieve this back at his own school, one day’s work would equal a regular person’s monthly salary.

This made Guai Ai Network’s work look incredibly promising!

Feng Zongze kept watching passing students while pondering the company’s future prospects—he’d originally just planned to do this casually for an internship certificate, but now… maybe he could do more.

Unfortunately, his optimism was quickly dampened by the order situation.

After Guai Ai Network secured 14 orders, progress seemed to stall—though more students came over curiously, none were girls.

“Don’t worry too much—this campus is just like this,” Yu Xing noticed the interns’ slight agitation and reassured them, “Love and lust go together—you need love first.”

The couple ratio was simply too low; even if boys wanted to pay, they had no reason.

Feng Zongze’s mood stabilized somewhat—until he noticed a figure resembling a professor slowly approaching, asking about the survey.

“What’s this survey about? Did you apply to the school? Who approved this booth and this banner?” The professor spoke sternly.

“Ah, hello, hello,” Yu Xing didn’t panic—he smiled warmly, stepped forward to explain, and even handed out several survey forms.

Feng Zongze watched as the senior and the professor drifted further away, gradually disappearing from view.

Could he be detained?

He couldn’t help recalling the other senior’s fate yesterday.

Just as Feng Zongze grew anxious, Yu Xing returned.

“File these—record these two orders too, both from professors,” Yu Xing placed the forms and cash on the table, instructing them to log the details.

“Professors can place orders?” Feng Zongze was stunned.

“Can’t professors have girlfriends? Can’t they want to get married?” Yu Xing glanced at this promising intern, “In my eyes, there’s no such thing as professor or student—only customers, customers, customers.”

Feng Zongze stared at the bright cash on the table, listening to the senior’s mindset, and fell into silent thought.
