After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 What is a Conscientious Entrepreneur? (Tactical fallback.)

The next day.

Xu Musen was awoken by the text message notification sound on his phone, which he fumbled out to check.

Xu Musen almost cursed aloud.

"Anxin Group has transferred 200,000 yuan to your bank account ending in…"

Two hundred thousand?

Even now, that was no small sum, almost the income of an average family for two or three years.

Moreover, Xu Musen had never heard of this company.

His first thought was whether Liu Rushuang had found another company to secretly support him.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

The phone rang, and Xu Musen answered, to hear a woman's voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu Musen?"

"Speaking."

"Hello, I am from the public relations department of Anxin Group. We have transferred a deposit to your company's account. Have you received it?"

Xu Musen stared at the text message displaying two hundred thousand: "A deposit?"

"Yes, our company would like to collaborate with yours on a series of promotions for our brand products, and this is an advance deposit. We'll notify you of the relevant information by email shortly."

Xu Musen roughly understood; it was probably the traffic he had directed to his own company through the game.

But he hadn't expected such a silent catch to suddenly land a big fish.

And the other party had transferred the funds first before even making the phone call—how was that any different from giving it away?

"Don't we need to sign a contract first?"

"No need, we trust in your capabilities and are looking forward to a long-term partnership. In the next few days, we'll mail you some samples..."

The tone of the person on the other end did not seem to be joking.

After hanging up, Xu Musen was stunned for a good while.

But he understood what the other party wanted, which was essentially promotional videos for product endorsements.

This was Xu Musen's strong suit.

Countless proposals popped into his mind, such as "Family, who understands?" "Exquisite piggy girls must know this." "All the beauties, charge..."

Damn, that's too much flavor, but one can't deny that these titles could go viral due to their huge audience appeal.

Anxin Group... Xu Musen stroked his chin and went online to do some research, only to be blown away by what he found.

The company turned out to be a large, diversified enterprise involved in food, pharmaceuticals, the internet, and more.

Furthermore, it had gone public a few years ago.

Understanding this, Xu Musen felt relieved; such a large company probably had a promotional budget in the tens of millions each year.

To them, two hundred thousand was just a drop in the bucket, a minor experiment.

However, this two hundred thousand was like timely rain for Xu Musen!

Xu Musen dragged He Qiang along to order five cameras from a camera store, then went to the computer market in the city center to assemble a computer.

Watching Xu Musen swipe his card decisively, He Qiang swallowed hard: "Did you sell a kidney or what? How come you're suddenly flush with cash?"

Today's spending, which amounted to seventy or eighty thousand, was no small figure.

"Some riches simply can't be held back."

Xu Musen said with a smile.

He Qiang clicked his tongue twice before noticing the watch on his wrist. That symbol... damn! A Rolex?!

One could say the cameras and computer were for work, but what about that Rolex watch?

"Moriko, that watch on your hand?"

"A gift."

Xu Musen looked at his wrist, admiring the watch. Indeed, wearing it today while meeting with the camera store owner had led to very polite treatment.

He Qiang gave him a peculiar look and finally managed to say, "Moriko, you're not living off Yao Mingyue again, are you?"

"Cut it out, it's not hers... Anyway, it's not from her."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you wake up with a Rolex on your wrist and suddenly come into a windfall. I don't even want to try anymore."

He Qiang shook his head, lamenting how comparison could be the thief of joy, and continued speaking.

"Now that you've got the equipment, it's time to hire people, right? Employee salaries are the most expensive. Even the old security guard at my family's fishpond, with only five teeth left, gets paid over three thousand a month."

Xu Musen had also considered this, that hiring genuine photography students would cost tens of thousands just for one month's salary.

The cost was too high.

Besides, shooting this kind of short video didn't require any technical skills. One could simply follow a sample and shoot it, as long as they knew how to use a camera, they could work.

So, he had already thought it through.

He patted He Qiang's shoulder and revealed a compassionate entrepreneur's smile, "Qiang Zi, have you ever heard a saying, 'Three thousand yuan can't hire a security guard, but it can attract a horde of college students'?"

"You're thinking of hiring college students to work for you?"

He Qiang thought about it and realized it was true; nowadays, an old security guard could make over three thousand a month.

But if college students came out to intern, even for two thousand a month, there would be takers.

"No, college students still don't offer me the best value for money. Do you know there's another type of job where people can be paid half yet work twice as hard without complaint, who can press down a ten-yuan-per-hour wage to five and still be secretly pleased about it?"

Xu Musen smiled broadly, but He Qiang's lips twitched.

"Exactly, these are our so-called 'freshman summer workers'!"

Xu Musen's smile was resplendent; these students, fresh out of high school, had no concept of money.

After all, they were used to getting just tens of yuan for pocket money, so earning a thousand or two from a summer job seemed like a fortune to them.

Moreover, the high-pressure environment of high school had instilled in them a strong sense of obedience; they were truly hardworking and listened well.

Perfect for exploitation... spit! An unparalleled choice for nurturing!

He Qiang himself took a deep breath, feeling that his good brother was perhaps a bit psychologically twisted?

It's like being oppressed for so long, then suddenly standing up, you become harsher than the average person.

But he had to admit, everything his brother said was true.

"But you plan to look for summer workers?"

Xu Musen took out his phone from his pocket, pulled up the class group chat, and showed everyone together in a graduation photo.

"Take a look at our dear classmates, don't they look like hardworking little bees beckoning to me?"

"..."

He Qiang stared at his good brother and, after a moment of stunned silence, patted his shoulder, "Musen, you're damn ruthless. If this were the old days, you would have been hung from a streetlamp!"

"Look at what you're saying, all I'm doing is giving these good students an opportunity to experience work; where else would you find someone as nice as me?"

Xu Musen chuckled.

He Qiang inwardly marveled, certain that his brother was destined for great things.

His words carried a hint of cunning, but that's just the way it is—someone's willing to be hit, and another's willing to punch.

I don't demand your professionalism, and you don't complain about my low wages.

As long as the paycheck is delivered on time and in full, that alone qualifies for a good boss.

...

Villa Community.

Aunt Xiang approached the old lady basking in the sun and whispered, "Madam Liang, the company has already invested the funds."

"Hmm, any reaction from him?"

"Looking at the flow of funds, he went straight to order a few cameras and computers this morning; seems like he's planning to scale up."

Aunt Xiang said with a smile.

The old lady nodded, "At this age, having money all of a sudden, he's not going after pleasure but planning for future work instead; very good, it seems we haven't misjudged him.

Let the company continue to follow up on him. If the results are good, we may consider further investment."

"Understood."

"By the way, how are the arrangements going with the doctor?"

"All is ready, we can take Nuannuan there in a few days."

"Good..."

The old lady sighed softly, "Poor child, she has lived such a hard life, never really free to enjoy her best years. I hope this treatment will finally make her well."

Aunt Xiang also nodded slowly, "She definitely will get better."

"By the way, Ru Shuang has been trying to sneak out these past few days, or she's been pestering Nuannuan, asking when they can go out and play with that boy again."

Aunt Xiang laughed somewhat helplessly.

The old lady also smiled warmly, "This little girl, we probably managed them a bit too much before; I don't know whether it was a good or bad thing..."
