Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

East Gate of Xuyuan, Shuangqing Restaurant.

”I can’t believe Meituan, Dianping, and Lashou Network have all brought their price wars to Xucheng. Brother Sen, when is your Kuai Pao Delivery going to launch service at Xuyuan?”

”Yeah, I want to experience lying in my dorm while my food gets delivered before I graduate.”

Song Yang and Wang Zhengqiang exchanged a glance, chuckling.

”Soon!”

Chen Yansen replied, taking a sip from his glass.

After Kuai Pao established a firm foothold in Luzhou, they had already prepared a city expansion plan for Huian Province. In less than three months, Kuai Pao delivery riders would probably be seen around Xuyuan.

”Brother Sen, my girlfriend is going to be a senior next semester. She’s a fine arts major. Is it possible for her to intern at Pinbei or Orange Technology’s design department?”

Song Yang leaned over and asked in a low voice.

”Just have her show up then.”

Chen Yansen readily agreed.

”Thanks, Brother Sen,” Song Yang said gratefully.

”Sigh. Brother Sen, you were right. If you don’t get a girlfriend by your freshman or sophomore year, the probability of being single for all four years of college is as high as 99.99%.”

Tang Zhenzhe, who was sitting to the side, looked at Song Yang and Wang Zhengqiang with envy.

These two guys... one was being pursued by an upperclassman, and the other had a long-distance girlfriend. In dorm 8302, only he, Meng Xibo, and Zhu Xiaopeng were still single.

Chen Yansen chuckled. He hadn’t expected Tang Zhenzhe to fall into Su Meiling’s hands again in this life. After two years of painstaking simping, he hadn’t even held her hand.

’Useless!’

”A man should prioritize his career. Establish yourself first, then start a family,” Meng Xibo chimed in.

He was a supervisor in Pinbei’s customer service department with a base salary of around 10,000. Including overtime, his income was top-tier in all of Xucheng.

”Oh, give me a break. Last month, using the hometown association meeting as an excuse, some guy was relentlessly pestering a younger female student. I wonder who that was? I could’ve sworn he looked exactly like you.”

Tang Zhenzhe retorted teasingly, curling his lip.

”HAHAHA...” Zhu Xiaopeng couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

”What the hell are you laughing at? You’re a single loser too.” Tang Zhenzhe went on the offensive, roasting both of them.

”Bullshit! The girl couldn’t find her way home, so what’s wrong with me walking her?” Meng Xibo’s expression froze, and he forced an explanation through gritted teeth.

”Tch—!” Tang Zhenzhe’s face was full of contempt.

”In another three months, a new batch of fresh young female students will arrive. Brother Zhe, don’t be anxious. If all else fails, I can introduce you to my sister.”

Song Yang stood up, refilled everyone’s glasses, and said consolingly with a smile.

”Your sister? You got a picture?” The moment Tang Zhenzhe heard this, his interest was piqued.

But when Song Yang showed Tang Zhenzhe a photo of his five-year-old sister, the room instantly erupted in another round of laughter.

’Almost a junior already?’

Chen Yansen mused to himself. College life passed by so quickly. Regrettably, he had only been with an upperclassman, never a younger student.

「Meanwhile.」

DiDi Dache headquarters.

Cheng Wei looked at the dwindling balance in their account and said to the head of the Market Department, ”The marketing expenses are being burned through too quickly, much faster than I expected. It looks like we need to raise funds as soon as possible.”

”This money was burned for a good reason. We currently have 1,600 drivers and daily orders as high as 80,000. Compared to the beginning of the month, that’s a seven- to eight-fold increase.”

The head of the Market Department pushed up his glasses and replied in a firm tone.

Cheng Wei nodded, quite in agreement with what he said.

Under DiDi Dache’s counterattack, although Fast Taxi held sixty percent of Yanjing’s ride-hailing market, its advantage wasn’t significant.

After the meeting, Cheng Wei called his contacts at Today Capital and Qian Du. The core message boiled down to five words: ”This is Cheng Wei. Send money.”

”Thirty million, and you spent it in just one month?” Qian Du’s Vice President, Liang Zhixiang, asked back in astonishment.

”President Liang, competing with Fast Taxi for the Yanjing market, the subsidies naturally get used up a bit faster,” Cheng Wei replied.

’Thirty million a month... wouldn’t that be 360 million a year?’
