Chapter 1218: Chapter 608: Tibetan Mastiffs Can Also Make Money

"Then I’ll head back first, senior brother," said Yan Fei, having thought through his plan and not wanting to waste any more time. He got up to take his leave. "The wife said she’ll make me griddle cakes when school’s out. I’m going to wait and pick her up."

With that, Wang Jiuming couldn’t well keep him any longer, "Alright then, I won’t hold you up. Next time you have a chance, come by and we’ll chat some more. You come over often anyway..."

"Sure, we can touch base by phone," Yan Fei replied with a chuckle.

"Actually, you don’t need to rush about this. The current situation is quite favorable for you private entrepreneurs," Wang Jiuming added a little encouragement as they reached the door. "With the distribution of graduates and housing benefits in units being phased out, isn’t that providing you with conveniences so you won’t struggle to recruit people?"

Yan Fei thought about it and realized that what would normally be points of contention for many had somehow turned into advantages for him.

He considered that with the end of assigned positions for college graduates, private enterprises like his had more opportunities to attract talent. Less welfare in state-owned units also made it easier for him to engage in a bit of poaching.

Feeling suddenly quite capable, he hopped in his car and sped off in a cloud of smoke.

But his joy soon turned to dismay when, just after setting out toward the city center, he saw a vehicle inspection up ahead.

Could Boss Yan withstand an inspection? Without a second thought, he made a U-turn and disappeared into a side alley, with him and his car vanishing without a trace.

Now not daring to drive to pick up his wife, he first turned into a little black bird and flew home to park the car in the yard before setting off to school on foot.

Miss Xu Xiaoyan didn’t even bother sending her textbooks back to the dormitory after school, she just grabbed her bag and ran out, ignoring a shout from a classmate behind her. A girl from her dormitory said snidely, "Don’t bother calling her, her childhood sweetheart is here. Didn’t you see she’s even ditched her dorm sisters?"

"I heard her boyfriend is really rich now, is that true?" The girl who called out to Xu Xiaoyan couldn’t resist the opportunity for gossip, her curiosity immediately ignited.

Indeed, rumors had already spread across campus that Xu Xiaoyan’s dorm had connections with two big shots, one named Zhang Haiyang, the other Xu Xing.

Zhang Haiyang, the little dark-skinned girl, was hardly able to speak when she first arrived in Provincial City, usually only eating buns in the cafeteria, considering it a treat to have a bun with filling on occasion.

But within just over two years, the little dark-skinned girl had transformed into the boss of her own company, exuding a formidable presence. As for how many employees she had, few were privy to that information, but everyone knew that besides her street-food stalls, she now owned several snack shops.

The other legendary figure was Classmate Xu Xing.

This girl famously took everyone’s breath away with her ’Palm Dance’ performance at the New Year’s Eve party during her freshman year. That dance had since become a legend and a peak achievement on campus, with no one coming close to surpassing or even successfully imitating it.

She’d also been involved in a debate about study times, was a top student academically, and the long-distance champion of the university sports meet, truly excelling in both arts (dance) and sports...

And most importantly, she was beautiful.

Besides, many people knew that she had a fiancé from childhood, a boyfriend who had entered business and, at a young age, had already built up a large enterprise. No one knew exactly how large that enterprise was, but the residence across from the zoo, resembling a garden estate, belonged to her boyfriend who had built it for her convenience while she studied.

School opinion was divided; the girl who had called out to Xu Xiaoyan thought the rumors were too exaggerated to be real and wanted to take the opportunity to ask someone from Xu Xiaoyan’s dorm for the truth.

The girl who was asked rolled her eyes, "Oh my, I never knew you were this gossipy when you’re usually so quiet! Of course it’s true. Her boyfriend has got himself a new car, and I heard from our dorm leader that it cost over a million..."

"Oh my gosh!" The girl who asked was floored by this revelation, feeling there was nothing more to inquire about. The gap was simply too large; they were not from the same world. She didn’t even know what else to ask.

When Xu Xiaoyan caught up with Yan Fei with her books in her arms, he was standing around doing nothing, and a girl was earnestly talking to him: "Classmate, protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility. The reason we’ve had major flooding this year is that we’ve been solely focused on economic development, neglecting environmental concerns. I suggest, if you have free time, come listen to our environmental protection group’s presentation. There’s one today at noon, starting at one o’clock in the small auditorium. If you’re interested, you’re also welcome to join our group..."

As soon as Yan Fei saw Xu Xiaoyan arriving, he quickly interjected, "I don’t go to your school, I’m here to pick up my girlfriend. She’s here now, maybe next time I’ll come and listen to your talk when I’m free!"

But the girl still called after him, "Classmate, it’s fine if you don’t go to our school. One o’clock in the small auditorium, you’re welcome to listen to our presentation!"

Yan Fei, having seen Xu Xiaoyan, had no interest in what presentation was being talked about. Xu Xiaoyan, however, smiled and greeted the girl, "If we’re free later, we’ll come along..."

As fake as that statement was, the two of them were planning to go back and make griddle cakes. By the time they would get home, prepare everything, and sit down to cook the cakes one by one, they’d be lucky to make it back to school in an hour.

Yan Fei chuckled to himself.

Now, Xu Xiaoyan, intending to casually take hold of his arm, extended her hand, but realizing that such a gesture was inappropriate on the campus, she instead gave his arm a playful twist, "What are you laughing at? She’s just concerned about environmental protection, and her intentions are good. When West River was polluted, didn’t you curse that paper factory to go out of business every day? You even managed to jinx it closed..."
