Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Showcasing Our Simple and Unadorned College Student Image

It might have just been a coincidence.

But still, I clicked and took a look.

Not until I saw the additional information Hou Xiaohai had provided.

Things like how information about the CEO’s wife was particularly well-protected, and no one knew anything about the CEO’s wife.

Especially the part about the CEO’s suit being wrinkled by his wife.

With Hou Xiaohai’s plea for help, Yu Zeqin was now sure it was Hou Xiaohai.

So he kindly gave Hou Xiaohai a piece of advice.

Sure enough, just as Yu Zeqin logged out of his account, he received a text message from Hou Xiaohai.

"Assistant Yu, the thing is, I have a favor to ask of you, could you please help me out?"

Hou Xiaohai was very sincere, he didn’t hide anything and told Yu Zeqin everything as it was.

Yu Zeqin silently nodded and agreed, "Sure."

Hou Xiaohai: "Thank you, Assistant Yu!"

Zhou Xueyi’s office.

After Cao Zhijie entered, he said to Zhou Xueyi, "President Zhou, Hou Xiaohai told me that he saw the CEO and the CEO’s wife at the apartment again on Saturday."

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

"What the hell!" Zhou Xueyi, furious, slammed his keyboard, "Is Zhou Shuyan doing this on purpose? He hasn’t returned for such a long time, I thought he’d never come back, so I withdrew the surveillance, and then he goes back?"

Is he playing games with us?

Cao Zhijie didn’t dare speak.

"Keep someone on the apartment," Zhou Xueyi, still fuming, managed to maintain a veneer of composure, "Yes," Cao Zhijie replied.

"No matter how long it takes, even if it’s two months and Zhou Shuyan doesn’t return, we will not withdraw. I refuse to believe this is just a game of attrition. Can’t I outlast him?" Zhou Xueyi said through clenched teeth.

"Yes," Cao Zhijie took the order and left.

And so, they continued to have someone watch the apartment entrance.

As for whether Zhou Xueyi could really outlast Zhou Shuyan in this matter, he had no idea.

But if it was a war of attrition, considering Zhou Xueyi’s age, he definitely wouldn’t outlast Zhou Shuyan.

Not to mention, Zhou Shuyan didn’t have to bear the cost of surveillance, which was all being paid by Zhou Xueyi.

Who knows if Zhou Xueyi would feel the pinch if this dragged on for several months without results.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the meeting with Chengzhou to discuss the Little Pink Book, which was Tuesday.

In the afternoon, Lu Youxi finished her day’s classes and came early to the internet cafe.

She headed straight to the second-floor office.

Jing University was very efficient.

After they had signed the agreement, that afternoon Jing University updated the Work-Study page with new positions and detailed descriptions.

Working at the internet cafe wasn’t tiring, you could earn money, and you could work according to your own class schedule without affecting your studies.

This was indeed an attractive proposition for many students who needed part-time jobs.

As Ji Deyi had said, it wasn’t that they couldn’t find part-time work; it’s just that they couldn’t find anything so suitable.

Reputable companies currently won’t recruit university students, especially freshmen and sophomores.

Some small companies, like those with only one office or small businesses, would hire, but they wouldn’t accommodate your class schedule.

Besides this, there were very few places that would accept student part-timers.

The remaining option would be to work at small street-side shops, which were even less likely to accommodate your schedule.

It always meant sacrificing some class time.

So, many students applied, and the internet cafe soon hired people.

This liberated Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi to focus on working in the upstairs office.

Although Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi no longer worked as internet cafe managers, the managers were still students from Jing University.

The customers remained very reassured.

Ji Deyi’s classes hadn’t ended yet; she arrived a bit later than her.

As for Pei Jingyuan, he was nearly spending 24 hours a day in the internet cafe.

Each day, Lu Youxi would remind Pei Jingyuan not to fall behind on his studies.

Fortunately, Pei Jingyuan’s school wasn’t particularly strict; at least, it shouldn’t be hard for Pei Jingyuan to graduate.

Moreover, with Ji Deyi recording Jing University’s lectures for Pei Jingyuan, his absorption of professional knowledge was actually better than just attending classes at school.

He took every class related to his major seriously.

After carefully watching the recorded lectures from Ji Deyi, he would practice on his own.

When it came to optimizing and upgrading the Little Pink Book, if they encountered problems they both couldn’t solve, they would take note and have Ji Deyi ask the teacher.

Jing University’s professors were pleased with Ji Deyi’s questions.

Who wouldn’t like a student who is eager to learn and progressing actively?

Ji Deyi didn’t hog all the credit either and truthfully told the professors that she had a friend, but he wasn’t a Jing University student.

They were researching together.

So, although the professors hadn’t met Pei Jingyuan, they also had a very good impression of him.

They explained things to Ji Deyi very carefully.

After explaining, they would even ask Ji Deyi, "Did you understand? Will your friend get it? If he doesn’t, come ask me again, and make sure you don’t pass on a muddled explanation to your friend."

"Old Pei, do you think if we keep having issues with some code during optimization, we could also ask Professor Zhang for help?" Ji Deyi also mentioned this to Pei Jingyuan.

Pei Jingyuan: "Professor Zhang likes students who are willing to learn, I think it shouldn’t be a problem."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Well, this team should really count Professor Zhang in as well.

Chengzhou probably didn’t expect that their Little Pink Book had the indirect participation of a Jing University professor.

Sounds mega impressive.

Ji Deyi scratched his head, "It kind of feels like we’re freeloading off Professor Zhang."

"Boss, we’re taking Chengzhou’s investment, should we give some to Professor Zhang as well?" Pei Jingyuan asked.

Lu Youxi was also stumped for a moment, "Professor Zhang has always been helping us solve problems, it wouldn’t be right to keep him in the dark."

"How about this, the next time you go to Professor Zhang to solve a problem, just mention that we’re optimizing Little Pink Book and see what his attitude is. If Professor Zhang is supportive, you can keep openly asking him. If Professor Zhang hesitates, then we should talk to him about a collaboration," said Lu Youxi after thinking.

"I always feel that Professor Zhang is so willing to teach you guys, he genuinely wants to share everything he knows; if we start by talking about money and collaboration, it might insult the integrity of his intentions."

"You’re right," Ji Deyi nodded, "Then I’ll go ask tomorrow."

"Tomorrow won’t work; you forgot, we have to meet with Chengzhou to discuss the support plan. Whether we can secure Chengzhou’s investment will depend on tomorrow," Lu Youxi reminded.

Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan were now completely engrossed in optimizing and upgrading Little Pink Book, focused as if blind to everything else around them.
