Jiang Yizhou received a notification from Ding Zhengnan and arrived at the street where the Training Class was located. He went upstairs and handed her the key.
Ding Zhengnan bragged proudly, "Do you know how much those people quoted me? They wanted two thousand right off the bat. How could it be that expensive? I immediately argued with them. Guess how much the final price dropped to?"
The girl made faces at him, hoping to get some praise from him. However, Jiang Yizhou knew well that he had looked for renovation workers before, and it was common for quotes to be around three to four thousand.
A quote of two thousand could only be considered a friendly price; they might not even charge for labor since it was introduced by her father. It shouldn't be subpar work, but he ended up dealing with a clueless girl who couldn't be offended.
Jiang Yizhou imagined those workers accepting the girl's quote, suppressing their anger, calling their superiors, and after getting reimbursement approval, giving her a price that barely covered costs.
"Eighteen hundred?" Jiang Yizhou guessed cautiously.
"It seems you don't understand my prowess," Ding Zhengnan said with a smile, extending one finger. "I finally got it down to one thousand! Am I impressive or what?"
Jiang Yizhou didn't know how to respond. He gave a thumbs-up to express his silent admiration. He was also a beneficiary of her actions but thought it was better to see through things without being too involved. He decided not to let her handle money in the future.
Time passed quickly, and under the hard work of those diligent workers brought in by Ding Zhengnan's father, the entire house was transformed. Upon discovering that there were still funds remaining, Ding Zhengnan decisively increased the project scope, not just adding safety features.
Desks, computers, and learning machines had all been purchased. The corresponding educational software was selected and installed; everything was ready, but there was no one around.
He wasn't exactly a social person; in his previous life, he had always been part of a development team, waiting each month for his salary and bonuses after deductions for social insurance and taxes to be deposited into his account. He relied on online shopping and the supermarket and restaurants downstairs in his rented one-bedroom apartment, living a secluded life with little social interaction.
And that clueless Ding Zhengnan was even less reliable!
Could he really expect her father to send someone to promote social connections? Jiang Yizhou thought it would be better to lie in bed waiting for opportunities to get rich.
Looking over his social network, Uncle was currently infatuated with some woman and had taken up faith in God. As he aged, all he wanted was companionship or some spiritual support for his twilight years.
As for those peers and elders from his hometown on the construction site, if he opened an arcade computer room and needed security to prevent disturbances, it might end up being more trouble than help.
Sun Yuliang, well, a family of three, busy taking care of his wife and child, and running a couple's shop, all self-promoted, please don't disturb.
Netizens on Huiduo Network say that in this day and age, who isn't an elite? If you ask them technical questions, that's fine, but for anything else, they probably can't help much.
Qin Yi, Li Yue, often keep in touch. Because of Qin Yi, the three of them occasionally gather for meals together; this should be worth a try.
How to contact her? Jiang Yizhou was scratching his head anxiously in his bedroom when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration; there should be her contact information in the phone book. He went to the living room and flipped through the phone book. The third entry on the first page was Li Yue's contact information, but there was only a pager number listed, no mobile contact information. After all, it was still quite expensive; it wasn't until a few months after 2000 that one could afford it with just a couple of months' salary.
He called the paging service and left his contact information for Li Yue. Then Jiang Yizhou brought all the documents to the living room to process while waiting for her to call back.
……
For Li Yue, who had just graduated and was laid off by the company, finding another job seemed somewhat difficult. She had attended several job fairs and received a few offers, but none were as good as what she had during campus recruitment; they were quite poor instead. Recently unemployed or scraping by, she was busy searching for work.
Moreover, since Qin Yi had left school to organize military training in the suburbs, she couldn't rely on her for free meals and drinks.
Sigh, it's just bad luck that she encountered a boss who treated her like a fool and made her take the blame. Anyway, she couldn't stand that bald guy; believing his empty promises was truly foolish.
She didn't even know who would take the blame for her; she wouldn't put up with that!
"Excuse me, may I ask Sister Li, as a recent graduate, why are you only starting to look for a job now?" Looking at the polite recruiter, Li Yue thought this time it was hopeless. Employees who leave after just a few months probably haven't even completed their probation period; it generally leaves a bad impression.
Suddenly, her pager went off. Li Yue simply nodded in acknowledgment and gave up on this interview. As she stepped out of the venue and took a closer look at the number displayed, wasn't this Qin Yi's home phone number? Wasn't she supposed to be in the suburbs?
She decided to call anyway. Li Yue found a phone booth by the street and dialed the number. "Hello!"
"Is this Li Yue?" Upon hearing the phone ring, Jiang Yizhou quickly walked over to the phone and picked up the receiver. "This is Jiang Yizhou."
Jiang Yizhou? Li Yue was quite familiar with him; he was a good person with a simple personality but had an underlying confidence. Recently he had been involved in some entrepreneurial ventures looking for investors; he seemed like someone suitable to be friends with but not someone she could lend money to. That was basically her impression of Jiang Yizhou.
"Is it you? What do you need from me?" Li Yue's voice was pleasant, and it was hard to detect any fatigue or displeasure in her tone.
"I recently started a Training Class, but I feel like it's lacking in promotion..."
"Tycoon, weren't you just shouting about wanting to develop some software and pulling people in for investment? How come you've turned around and done this instead?" Li Yue teased.
Tycoon was the nickname Jiang Yizhou had claimed for himself, asserting that if he succeeded with his software, he would definitely become a Billionaire. When Li Yue found out about this, she jokingly called him Tycoon, saying that once he got rich, she would come to rely on him.
These were all lighthearted jokes shared at the dinner table; everyone just occasionally brought them up for a laugh.
"Well, since no one is investing, I decided to use my savings to open a Computer Training Class first. I used to aim too high, but now I just want to support myself! How about we set a time to chat? Maybe after you finish work?"
Jiang Yizhou wasn't one to complain about not getting big opportunities (at least not now). He understood that having a mindset of entitlement wouldn't help; he needed to take the first step.
"Alright then, let's meet at our usual place. Don't worry; my work schedule is quite flexible!" Li Yue thought for a moment and decided that meeting up wouldn't be bad. It would also add an entrepreneurial experience to her resume.
"Okay, see you at the usual place!" Jiang Yizhou agreed.
