Chapter 808: Chapter 288: The Class Beauty’s Seduction Plan
Stayed a night in Shenghai, the next day continued with work during the day, and at night, met up with some classmates in Shenghai for dinner.
After graduation, people from Finance and Management Class 1 went their separate ways, some returned home, others continued to venture out.
Among them, most stayed in Lin’an, as the alma mater is here, and many people were already familiar with and loved this beautiful ancient city rich in culture.
Besides Lin’an, the most were in Shenghai and Jinling.
After all, people move towards higher places, just like water flows to lower ones.
Shenghai, as an international city, offers more opportunities and higher salaries, whereas Jinling, as the capital of Gusu Province, is equally nice.
Moreover, the diploma from the Finance Academy is well-regarded in the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lu area, but if you go to cities in other provinces, many units and companies may not recognize it as much.
Some also went to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as they are large cities in developed provinces that are welcoming to outside talent.
Just in Shenghai, there are ten people working, besides Luo Xi, her roommate Candy also works here, and Hou Yongjin from room 302 is here too.
This was the first small gathering of the classmates working in Shenghai since graduation, and it was only Su Zelin who had the clout to gather everyone. With one call, everyone responded and came after work, giving face to the social butterfly, showcasing how much Su Zelin was loved when he was the class president.
During dinner, the class belle complained tearfully, "Boss, don’t you think I at least deserve some recognition as the vice president? It’s been almost a month since graduation, and every time I tried to gather people in Shenghai, someone was always too busy, even Candy was occupied. Yet, with just one word from you, everyone came. How truly unsuccessful I am as the vice president!"
Candy laughed it off, "Ah Xi, I’m sorry, last time I really had a dinner planned with colleagues from the department. They are seniors, so I had to show face, you know."
"Okay, okay, no need to explain. Explaining is just covering up. If Boss called you, even if you had an appointment with colleagues, you would definitely cancel it, you traitor who prioritizes romance over friendship!"
Luo Xi was quite frustrated.
During dinner, Su Zelin asked everyone about their work situation. Despite complaints about companies and units not being ideal before graduation, everyone has started getting accustomed and on track.
However, in Shenghai, the person who was doing the best was not Luo Xi or Hou Yongjin, who had excellent grades during school, but another individual.
Old Smoker, the guy who smoked heavily during school and ran out of money by the end of each month, relying on Su Zelin for cigarettes. His nickname was Old Smoker, and over time, people almost forgot his real name.
Old Smoker’s grades were average in school, yet he somehow got into the Hongkou District Finance Bureau after graduation.
A batch of students from the class interned at this finance bureau, yet Old Smoker was the only one who stayed.
This guy didn’t have much real talent, but he was a smooth talker, could brag skillfully, knew how to flatter and anticipate his boss’s thoughts, winning the favor of his superiors. With a few years of work, he might be up for a promotion.
In previous lives, Old Smoker indeed climbed up the ladder, always had cigarettes gifted by others and never needed to buy them himself. Whenever Su Zelin came to Shenghai, he would inevitably treat Su Zelin to dinner, gifting him two packs of cigarettes, saying it was to repay for the cigarettes he bummed during university.
This is the typical tale of a small person rising up.
"I heard Nanaz started a company in Lin’an?"
The girl from room 506, Lu Xiaofang, suddenly remembered something.
The topic she brought up attracted everyone’s attention.
"No way, Nanaz really started a company?"
Luo Xi and Candy couldn’t help but be astonished.
"Oh, you guys didn’t know about this either?"
Lu Xiaofang was a bit surprised.
Luo Xi and Candy were Nanaz’s roommates, and the class belle and Nanaz were best friends, so she thought they would have heard.
"Nope!"
Candy shook her head while curiously asking, "Xiaofang, how did you find out?"
"My roommate, Zhao Qian, who is from Finance and Management Class 2, works in the same office building as Nanaz’s company, called Lina Apparel. She thought it was strange as it shared the same name as Nanaz, and later found out it was indeed started by Nanaz!"
Lu Xiaofang explained simply.
Room 506 is a mixed dorm with some girls from Finance and Management Class 2, Zhao Qian told Lu Xiaofang about this.
"It’s a fashion company, Nanaz mentioned before she graduated that she always wanted to be a fashion designer, but as she wasn’t from the related field, she wouldn’t get hired for sure. Starting this company should be her way to fulfill her dream." ℯ
Luo Xi quickly guessed a bit.
"Starting a company requires a lot of money, even if it’s a small company, it needs an investment of at least tens of thousands. Nanaz must be wealthy!"
"Of course, her family is well-off. During school, she wore only branded clothes and picked the best flagship phones. This time starting the company, she must have her family’s support!"
"Really envious, didn’t expect Nanaz to become a boss right after graduation."
"Business is unpredictable, besides Nanaz lacks any experience and isn’t from a related background. Can she manage a fashion company?"
"I think there’s potential; as long as you have money, you can hire experienced people to steer the ship. Plus, Nanaz has an undeniable sense of fashion, her talent speaks for itself."
"..."
Opinions varied, and this topic sparked quite a bit of discussion.
Most fresh graduates are workers, starting a business and especially a company is quite rare, especially in these times when most people aim for stable government jobs.
