Seeing Wang Yi hesitate, Fan Junjie took out the wild mushrooms and said with a smile:
"I have enough experience. These are the freshest and most delicious. There's absolutely no problem, we eat them every day!"
At this moment, Sun Tao also walked back, his eyes sparkling:
"Mushrooms? Wild? Then they're definitely all-natural, green, and pollution-free! You can't get this kind of natural stuff in the Imperial Capital!"
"Exactly, let's have a hotpot together tonight!"
Fan Junjie laughed.
"Okay!"
Sun Tao readily agreed.
Wang Yi shook his head, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
The roommates didn't hold grudges, which was good; they could reconcile instantly even after clashing face-to-face.
But having wild mushrooms together for hotpot, that was really courting death!
The problem was, even when advised, they wouldn't listen.
It was difficult.
He hoped nothing serious would happen.
Wang Yi could only say,
"I have something to do tonight, so I can't eat with you all. How about we have lunch together instead? It's on me!"
They were all roommates, and Wang Yi still hoped their relationship could be harmonious for the four years of college.
That way, when he skipped classes in the future, someone would be there to stick their neck out for him and answer roll call!
Sun Tao waved his hand,
"Lunch together is no problem, but you paying is out. Brother is a local; since you all came all the way to the Imperial Capital for school, I must fulfill my host's duty. Let's go, it's on me! Don't fight me for this meal, I'm paying!"
Although Sun Tao was a bit showy and a little arrogant, he was still generous and not bad.
"Alright, you pay this time, I'll pay next time,"
Wang Yi responded.
"That's a good way to rotate."
"Yes, that's more appropriate."
Fu Yanliang and Fan Junjie also chimed in.
College gatherings were inevitable, and going Dutch every time was troublesome.
It was better to take turns.
Those with good financial conditions could treat everyone to something nice.
Those with less means, even if they treated at the cafeteria, their roommates wouldn't say anything.
"Today, let's go eat Peking duck first. You come to the Imperial Capital and don't eat Peking duck, you've come for nothing,"
Sun Tao said calmly and confidently.
The four of them took a taxi directly to the Peking duck restaurant.
Although it was very famous, Peking duck itself wasn't actually that delicious...
Sun Tao initially boasted about it, but later, even he couldn't keep it up:
"Next time, let's just have skewers and beer!"
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed.
Leaving the restaurant, Wang Yi bought four bottles of "happy water":
"Here, to cut the grease!"
"Yes, this stuff works great,"
Sun Tao and the others took them.
Soon after returning to the dorm, a boy walked in:
"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Tianhang, also from Class 1 of Management. To make it easier for classmates to contact each other, I've created a QQ group. Please all add me, and I'll pull you into the group!"
"This guy is quick!"
Wang Yi thought to himself.
Yang Tianhang creating a group now would make him known among classmates and build connections.
He would also leave an impression of being capable and insightful with the counselor, making the position of class monitor almost certainly his.
As long as he became class monitor, he would definitely be able to join the Party.
At that time, applying for national scholarships, postgraduate recommendations, etc., would also be greatly assisted! However, Wang Yi didn't care about these things.
As for positions like class monitor, whoever wanted it could have it.
Wang Yi had a business to run and no time to deal with such trivial matters.
He was even planning how to ask for leave and how to skip classes...
In short, as long as he graduated smoothly, nothing else mattered.
Business came first!
Wang Yi and the others directly added Yang Tianhang as a friend and joined the group.
But Sun Tao was a bit displeased:
"Brother Tianhang, new students only registered this morning, and you've already started a group. So fast, so awesome!"
Yang Tianhang's little scheme was exposed directly, making him a bit awkward:
"Hehe, it's mainly to serve the class."
But in his heart, he made a note of Sun Tao, thinking he was a troublemaker.
Just wait, I'll make things difficult for you later!
"Oh right, there's a class meeting at 3 PM this afternoon in Room 609 of Building D. Make sure to be there!"
Yang Tianhang instructed, then went to the next dorm.
Wang Yi looked at the people in the group; there were already over twenty, most of them girls.
Wang Yi understood.
Yang Tianhang had added the girls' dorms first, and then the boys' dorms, precisely because he was afraid someone would compete with him for class monitor.
This guy sure knew how to scheme!
But it had nothing to do with him.
As long as they didn't pick a fight, Wang Yi couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
But if they did cause trouble, Wang Yi would also make him understand what it felt like to regret it.
At this moment, Wang Yi received a message from Jian Ziyan:
"Junior, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!"
Wang Yi originally wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that the three brutes in his dorm were going to eat wild mushrooms!
He decisively agreed:
"Okay, it's a good chance to thank Senior for helping me with enrollment."
"Don't mention it. How about 5:30 PM tonight?"
"Sounds good! Oh, by the way, Senior, where's the counselor's office? I want to ask for leave."
"Asking for leave during military training? That's not easy."
"It's fine, I have something important, just need a day or two off."
"If you have a sufficient reason, it shouldn't be a big problem. The counselor's office is usually in..."
"Okay, thank you, see you tonight."
Military training was starting tomorrow, and Meiyou 001 Flagship Store was opening the day after tomorrow.
He would attend military training for one day tomorrow, then had to rush back.
He had no choice but to ask for leave.
At 2:30 PM, Wang Yi arrived outside the counselor's office in advance and knocked on the door.
The large room was very empty, with only a senior student on duty趴 on the desk, taking a nap.
"Who are you looking for?"
Huang Xinyi raised her head, looking at Wang Yi with sleepy eyes.
Only then did Wang Yi notice that the senior student had a good figure.
But she was sleeping so soundly that she had drooled!
"I'm looking for the counselor,"
Wang Yi said with a smile and walked in.
Huang Xinyi also realized the problem, quickly pulled out a tissue, turned her back, and wiped it away.
Then she sternly said,
"You're an '11 intake freshman, what's your major? Which class?"
"Business Administration Class 1."
"Oh, what do you need the counselor for?"
"To ask for leave, what else?"
"Asking for leave from military training?"
Huang Xinyi's expression darkened:
"Classmate, I advise you not to have such lazy thoughts. Beihang's military training carries credits. Even if you ask for leave this year, with a good reason and it's approved, you'll still have to make it up next year with the freshmen's military training. It's pointless to train again!"
Wang Yi casually pulled up a chair and sat down:
"I know, but there's nothing I can do. I really have something important and need to take two days off, not the whole thing!"
"Two days! What is it? If the reason is sufficient, it can be considered."
"It must be sufficient. My store opens on the 1st. As the boss, I have to be there, right?"
Huang Xinyi thought about it:
"This reason is indeed sufficient, but is it really about opening a store?"
"Of course, our Beihang students are all good students, top students, no need to lie!"
"Makes sense!"
Huang Xinyi nodded, handed over a leave request form:
"Alright, write a leave request, fill it out, and just leave it here."
"Okay."
Wang Yi took it and began to fill it out.
Name: Wang Yi.
Leave period: 5 PM on August 30th - 4:30 PM on September 3rd.
Reason for leave: Flagship store opening. As the boss and founder, I must be present. Please approve.
Huang Xinyi took it and looked, her delicate brows slightly furrowed:
"Three days? That long! Military training is only a few days in total, and you're asking for three!"
Wang Yi sighed:
"No choice. The Jeju flagship store opens on the 1st, I have to go. The Imperial Capital flagship store opens on the 3rd, I still have to go!"
"..."
Huang Xinyi was silent:
"Jeju flagship store, Imperial Capital flagship store... what business are you starting? And it's not small!"
"Nothing much, just selling some women's clothing."
Wang Yi said, looking at Huang Xinyi:
"Senior, with your figure, wearing our brand's dresses, you'll definitely be both pure and seductive, and your charm will skyrocket!"
"..."
Huang Xinyi pursed her lips, feeling a bit offended, but lacking sufficient evidence.
"Alright, you can go."
"Okay, goodbye Senior."
No sooner had Wang Yi left than Huang Xinyi threw the leave slip into the trash can:
"Students nowadays are truly too reckless!"
"Even teasing the teacher, and saying 'pure yet seductive', what kind of bold words are these?
"Wait, 'pure yet seductive', why does that sound so familiar?"
"Oh right, the 'pure yet seductive' style... Meiyou!"
"It seems Meiyou's shipping location is in Jeju."
"This Wang Yi is also starting a business, also in the clothing industry, and his flagship stores are opening in Jeju, and the Imperial Capital..."
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
Huang Xinyi quickly picked up the leave slip, checked the information on it, then opened the system to check Wang Yi's profile.
"Heh, so you're the kid who barely made it into Beihang."
"In previous years, 669 was confident, but you got in with 569. What luck!"
"No, it turns out he missed one subject! If he hadn't missed it, he could have scored 620+, which is almost enough for a regular 985 university."
"To score such results in the Four River-Mountain Provinces, if placed in other provinces, it would be enough for a top 985."
As someone who had gone through it, she knew how difficult the Gaokao was in the Four River-Mountain Provinces.
Then, Huang Xinyi started checking Meiyou's information, her expression slightly changing:
"Meiyou Technology's legal representative Song Sining, ultimate beneficiary Wang Yi..."
"It really is him!"
"Wang Yi is Boss Wang of Meiyou Technology?"
Huang Xinyi's expression was somewhat complex:
"No wonder he's so unruly, even teasing the teacher. So he has confidence!"
But to prevent identical names, she also downloaded the Meiyou APP.
Sure enough, she saw two advertisements on it:
[Meiyou's first global flagship store 001, located at XX Quancheng Road, Jeju, grand opening at 8 AM on September 1st!]
[Meiyou's No. 002 flagship store, located at XXX Sanlitun, Imperial Capital, grand opening at 8 AM on September 3rd!]
"Even the times are exactly the same. Case closed, this Wang Yi is Boss Wang of Meiyou Technology!"
"Amazing, you rascal."
"In one summer, he created Meiyou! Not only is online development rapid, but even offline flagship stores are opening! Amazing, truly amazing!"
Then, Huang Xinyi began browsing the Meiyou mall, and her heart immediately sped up:
"So these are Meiyou's 'pure yet seductive' style dresses, they're really beautiful."
"That rascal Wang Yi was right, if I wear this dress, it will definitely look good!"
"But as a counselor, would it be a bit inappropriate to wear something like this?"
"But I still want to buy it, what should I do?"
"When I'm at work, I'm a counselor. After work, I'm still a freshly graduated young lady!"
"Forget it, I'll buy it! Choose a more conservative style, plus a small cardigan, no big problem!"
With this thought, Huang Xinyi picked and chose, buying three sets of dresses in one go, and also pairing them with a small suit jacket and a small cardigan.
"Oh, there's lipstick too, and new shades!"
"Beautiful!"
"So beautiful!"
"Why is it out of stock?"
"Pre-orders are ongoing. Limited-time flash sale at 10 AM on the 1st!"
"This guy, playing hunger marketing? He understands marketing!"
"Interesting."
Huang Xinyi smiled slightly, took Wang Yi's leave slip, and signed it.
For leave within three days, the counselor's signature was sufficient.
If it was for more than three days, it would have to be reported to the director.
Wang Yi handled the timing perfectly, exactly three days.
In Room 609, the students had all arrived.
A few roommates sat in the middle, enthusiastically greeting the female classmates in the front row.
The male-to-female ratio across Beihang University was 4:1.
The School of Economics and Management was better, roughly 1:1, but in other departments, it was 10:1!
The competition was too fierce.
If you acted too late, you might be single for four years!
Sun Tao and the others had to try hard.
Wang Yi, however, couldn't be bothered.
His romantic luck was a bit overflowing, and he didn't want to get involved with more people.
More importantly, only a beauty of Lin Shu's caliber could make his heart flutter.
Such people were too rare.
But while Wang Yi didn't pay attention to others, many girls were looking at him.
At the beginning of the semester, boys looked for pretty girls in the class, and girls also looked for handsome boys in the class.
As they looked, they found Wang Yi, who was hiding in the back, had become the face of the class.
Wang Yi couldn't be bothered by this.
Instead, he was rapidly typing on his phone.
He was writing a novel, or rather, an outline.
It was very difficult for Meiyou novels to take off, especially the book library.
The copyrights they could buy were all old books that had already been popular on other websites, with limited value.
Putting them on Meiyou could, at most, attract new readers who hadn't read them; old readers wouldn't pay to subscribe a second time.
For Meiyou novels to grow big and become popular, they needed a brand new hit novel that would be popular across the entire internet!
But such a thing couldn't be bought, so Wang Yi could only create it himself.
He didn't have time to write every day, so he planned to write out the outlines and then have the editorial department sign several talented writers to write them for him!
For example, "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation," which would begin serialization a few years later. In his previous life, Wang Yi had watched the TV series with his girlfriend and remembered the main plot.
He could easily write the outline and have talented authors write it.
Then arrange for someone to polish it up, and it wouldn't be a problem for it to become popular across the internet.
At that time, many readers would have to download the Meiyou APP just to read "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation."
Similarly, for other web novels that Wang Yi remembered, he could write out the outlines and have his subordinate authors write them.
At that time, the author's name would be "Youzi"!
As for Wang Yi writing it himself, Wang Yi didn't have the time or the interest.
More importantly, it was Boys' Love.
Wang Yi could write an outline, but he really couldn't write the details; he couldn't write it even if he wrote until he vomited!
But female readers just liked that kind of...
These days, female-oriented novels were dominated by BL.
One could only say that what exists is reasonable.
With a few more blockbusters like this, Meiyou novels would also rise.
Currently, to increase Meiyou's user base, these features were all within the Meiyou APP.
However, once Meiyou's user base grew, these software components would have to be split into single APPs!
For example, "Defend Youzi" was a standalone APP, not integrated into Meiyou.
At that time, Meiyou would only need to serve as a jump interface.
After all, "Defend Youzi"'s target users also included many male players, and it was unrealistic to force them all to download the Meiyou APP.
Of course, those who had a partner and were willing to download it were another matter.
In addition, Meiyou also had an official website.
It was what Wang Yi initially tasked Song Sining to do, and she had also minored in computer science.
But now, it had been handed over to the IT department, and the Meiyou mall had been launched online.
Now Meiyou mall also had a web version, and orders could be placed by opening the mall homepage.
It was just not as convenient as the Meiyou APP.
Soon, a girl walked in.
Wang Yi's brows slightly furrowed: "Is this senior student who drooled while sleeping also in our class?"
Immediately, Wang Yi saw her walk to the podium, and the entire class instantly fell silent.
Wang Yi had a premonition of something ominous.
Huang Xinyi looked around, found Wang Yi in the corner, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Then she picked up a piece of chalk and wrote her name and phone number on the blackboard:
"Hello everyone, I am Huang Xinyi, the counselor for Class 1 of the Business Administration 2011 intake. This is my phone number. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me directly!"
Wang Yi: "..."
Damn it!
Who would have thought that the girl who looked like a senior student was actually the counselor!
She didn't look like one at all!
So, was there still a chance for his leave request?
Difficult!
Huang Xinyi seemed to have guessed Wang Yi's thoughts and felt triumphant:
"Panicking now, young man? That's what you get for teasing the counselor! Hehehe."
"Today we mainly have three things: First, everyone gets to know each other. Second, elect a temporary class monitor and a temporary Youth League branch secretary. Third, collect military training uniforms, military training starts tomorrow. Time is limited, so please come up to the stage in turn and briefly introduce yourselves!"
The girl in the first row by the door was the first to walk to the podium:
"Hello everyone, my name is Duan Hongfang, from Yunnan Province, a descendant of the Dali Duan clan. I haven't mastered the Six Meridian Divine Sword yet, but my One Yang Finger has reached the third level. Everyone is welcome to join me for a sword fight on Mount Hua, I will show mercy!"
"Pffft haha!"
Everyone was amused.
Wang Yi also couldn't help but laugh; this girl was suitable for writing web novels!
Afterward, everyone else's introductions were much more serious and normal.
Until Yang Tianhang took the stage and began a lengthy speech.
Initially, everyone found it interesting, but later they started to get annoyed.
He was so pretentious!
Finally, it was Wang Yi's turn:
"My name is Wang Yi, from the province where 'of the three unfilial acts, not having an official job is the greatest'."
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed again.
"In the future, I welcome all colleagues to take the civil service exam in my province. My province's army of millions of civil service candidates is utterly fearless. Even if you don't come, my province's civil service exam army will invade your provinces and snatch your iron rice bowls! This is not a threat!"
"Hahaha!"
Amidst the laughter, Wang Yi stepped down from the podium.
The seemingly nonsensical language was used very appropriately; it seemed to say everything, yet nothing at all.
It only left people confused, unsure of his depths.
But a few girls were whispering:
"He's quite humorous, seems like an interesting guy."
"He's handsome too, just wonder if he has a girlfriend!"
"Let's choose him as class monitor, he's not one of those pretentious people!"
"Yes, I think that's a good idea."
Hearing this, Yang Tianhang's face turned dark:
"So, my group was built for nothing, and my words were all in vain, huh?"
Wang Yi also had a headache:
"Choose what? If you choose me as class monitor, how am I supposed to ask for leave and skip classes? I don't have that time."
Huang Xinyi walked to the podium:
"Classmate Wang Yi, after graduation, will you take the civil service exam?"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"I love money, so I can't take the civil service exam!"
"Hmm?"
Everyone was first taken aback, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!"
Those words were so profound!
