Chapter 586 - 212: Welcome Madam to Inspect the Work, Naming the Milk Tea Brand
Li Lanrong’s question also sparked the curiosity of Ge Chenchen, Gao Xin, and Shen Xiyu.
The girls glanced around the room, where over ten older students were busily cleaning. How much would their monthly salaries amount to?
Seeing Li Yuan hesitate, Li Lanrong cautiously asked, "Li Yuan, is it inconvenient to answer?"
"Not at all." Li Yuan smiled and explained, "Because the startup incubator is on campus, the part-time salaries aren’t that high. It’s roughly 1,000-plus a month, and there will be bonuses at the end of the year based on their performance..."
"What? Over 1,000 a month?"
Li Lanrong’s eyes widened in surprise as she covered her mouth, a look of disbelief on her face.
The girls’ monthly living allowance was around 500 to 1,000 yuan, so a part-time salary of over a thousand was enough to cover their monthly expenses with some left over.
Li Lanrong and Gao Xin exchanged a glance, both somewhat tempted.
In their dorm, besides Ge Chenchen, who was a Modu native, the rest were from out-of-town and from ordinary families. To them, 1,000 yuan a month was a significant sum.
Especially after seeing Liu Jia and his friends also join Li Yuan’s company for part-time work, Li Lanrong felt eager to give it a try.
Li Lanrong asked jokingly, "Hehe, Big Boss Li, is your company still hiring? What do you think of me?"
Li Yuan was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected her to suddenly say that. He smiled faintly and asked, "You want to work part-time, too?"
Li Lanrong pursed her lips, hiding a smile. "Why? Is that not allowed? We’re all poor, and the allowance from home isn’t enough. We’re hoping to earn some extra cash from you, Big Boss Li."
Li Yuan confirmed again, "Are you serious? You’re not joking, are you?"
Li Lanrong nodded. "Yes, of course I’m serious. Who would dare to joke with you, Director Li!"
Li Yuan laughed. "If you really plan to work part-time at my little company, that’s fine. The work is pretty simple, and for bright students like yourselves, you’ll pick it up in no time.
"However, if you take the job, you might not have much free time. You’ll have far fewer opportunities to go shopping, travel, or go home. You won’t be as free, and you won’t be able to enjoy the fun of college life...
"Are you sure you’ve thought it through?"
Although Li Lanrong, Liu Jia, and the others were his classmates, Li Yuan wasn’t a philanthropist. Treating them to dinner last night was something he had wanted to do, partly for Xia Zhijin’s sake. But that was just an occasional treat. After all, they weren’t his girlfriends.
The part-time salary he offered was already quite high, and the job was located on campus. For the 12 positions he was hiring, there had been over 100 applicants, so the competition was fierce.
After hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Lanrong suddenly grew hesitant. If a part-time job consumed all her free time, what joy would be left in her college life?
"Uhm, I’ll think about it some more then!"
"Alright!" Li Yuan smiled. He already had enough part-time staff. One more person would only mean an extra 1,000 yuan in monthly wages, which was nothing to him now.
His 20 million investment in Bicrown Di’s stock had already more than doubled in just over ten days, and it was still rising. He estimated that if it reached its peak, which he expected around the end of December, he would make a profit of at least five or six times his initial investment.
For the past two days, his high school buddies, Xu Zhi and Wang Shuai, had been closely monitoring Bicrown Di’s stock price. Both had invested tens of thousands and were far more nervous than Li Yuan about every little fluctuation. They sent him several messages every day, reporting the stock price and asking when they should sell.
In their own words, earning money this way was so nerve-wracking it felt like robbing a bank.
A while later, Li Lanrong, Gao Xin, and the other two girls headed back.
A truck loaded with various office equipment entered the campus and stopped in front of the research building. The two large classrooms had already been cleaned and were ready for the equipment to be installed.
The dozen or so part-time college students watched as the equipment was unloaded, all exclaiming and buzzing with conversation.
"Wow, these are all brand-new desks and computers! They’re all from Dai Er, and they look like they have great specs. Hey, is that a coffee machine? Does that mean we can drink coffee here?"
"This box seems to have a Haier refrigerator. Tsk tsk, Director Li really is a legend at our school. These part-time benefits are just too good! My last part-time job was handing out flyers on the street. Not only was it boiling hot, but I only made 30 a day, which was only four or five hundred a month."
"Yuan is awesome! The equipment delivered today must be worth hundreds of thousands..."
"The company we’re working for is the super-popular ’Zhihu’! I heard today’s registration numbers are even higher than yesterday’s. In the future, it might become a new internet giant, just like BAT. Director Li might be young, but he has real courage and vision..."
"A coffee machine, air conditioning, a refrigerator... He’s truly a romantic and talented scholar, a young master of Modu, a multimillionaire... Hehe, Director Li is generous and lavish with his girlfriend, and he’s not bad to us either!"
Amid a flurry of excited chatter and exclamations of amazement, the various pieces of equipment were unboxed and installed.
The office equipment, which cost over a million in total, all had high-end configurations. This made the part-time college students, who had just started today, incredibly excited.
Modu’s summers are hot, and neither the dorms nor the classrooms had air conditioning. The startup incubator was right on campus, offering air conditioning, coffee, high-spec computers, and a chance to earn over a thousand a month. This kind of part-time job was the stuff of their dreams.
