Chapter 36 Meeting! Meeting! It's important!
Shen Li's lips curled into her signature, slightly calculating smile. "This is how the performing arts department should really make money. Roll call, seat reservations, and delivery services are just small-time operations. The future of performing arts lies in acting!"
I walked to the cafeteria humming a little tune, feeling great.
External liaison groups? Ha! That's nothing. I'll make a living on my own and still thrive.
He glanced at the campus bulletin board again as he passed by. A new batch of colorful notes had been added.
"Volunteer recruitment for campus singing competition", "Recruiting backstage staff for the drama club's performance of 'Thunderstorm'", "Campus ambassador recruitment for a short video platform"...
Shen Li's gaze lingered on a well-printed poster.
「校园创业大赛，一等奖奖金5000元！二等奖3000元！三等奖1000元！报名截止：10月15日。」
5000 yuan!
Shen Li's eyes lit up instantly.
He leaned closer to examine it. The poster stated that applications were open to all majors and year levels, and individuals or teams were welcome to apply. A business plan was required, with the theme of "Campus Life Services."
Campus life services?
Fireworks exploded in Shen Li's mind.
Roll call, errand running, seat reservation, package pickup, note-taking (this is borderline, be careful)...
The work I've been doing lately is practically "campus life service," isn't it?
If you integrate all of this into a platform, an app, or even a WeChat mini-program... wouldn't that be a ready-made startup project?
Moreover, they have firsthand experience with "Flash Delivery Campus," so they know what demand is strongest, what services are most profitable, and what pricing is most reasonable.
This is a million times more down-to-earth than those startup plans that come up with while sitting in a classroom!
5000 yuan, first prize.
Shen Li licked her lips, took out her phone, and took a picture of the poster.
"Alright, I'm entering this entrepreneurship competition."
He muttered to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"However, it's too tiring to do it alone. We need to find a few 'partners.' Jing Yang's smooth talk should be able to fool the judges. Dai Xiao, that tech geek, will definitely have no problem making apps and mini-programs. Yang Yi... well, he's reliable and hardworking, he can provide logistical support."
"The 'Four Heroes of 512,' the startup dream team—that's it!"
Shen Li became more and more excited as she thought about it, and her steps became lighter.
As I walked to the entrance of the cafeteria, I saw Xiao Zhao and several girls carrying their trays out.
Xiao Zhao wore a light yellow short-sleeved knit sweater today, revealing a section of her flat and toned waist.
She wore a white bodycon skirt that perfectly outlined her round and perky peach-shaped buttocks. Her two long, white, and straight legs were adorned with canvas shoes, exuding youthful energy.
Upon seeing Shen Li, her eyes lit up, and she waved with a smile, "Shen Li! Over here!"
Shen Li walked over, a harmless smile on her face: "Xiao Zhao, are you finished eating?"
"Hmm! The sweet and sour pork ribs at the cafeteria are pretty good today, hurry up and go, there's still some left."
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "By the way, in this afternoon's acting class, Teacher Yan said we'll be rehearsing skits in groups. Have you found a partner yet?"
Shen Li was taken aback: "Not yet. I had something to do this morning and didn't check the group chat."
"How about we team up?" Xiao Zhao blinked, her peach blossom eyes sparkling. "Last time, Teacher Yan praised you for your impromptu skit. I think I can learn something from acting with you."
Shen Li's heart skipped a beat. This woman was inviting him to team up? What the hell was going on?
He quickly analyzed: Xiao Zhao has a peach-shaped bottom, a sweet voice, and appears innocent and sweet on the surface, but she is quite observant.
Last time, the Sichuan restaurant proactively asked for his phone number; this time, they're inviting him to join a group. Do they genuinely think he's a good actor? Or is there something else going on?
However, one shouldn't refuse a "partner" that comes knocking on their door. Besides, Xiao Zhao's professional abilities are indeed quite good, and acting alongside her would also be beneficial for improving oneself.
Shen Li immediately switched to "flattered junior" mode, scratching his head: "Really? That's great! I was worried I wouldn't find a partner. Thank you, Xiao Zhao."
"Stop calling me 'classmate, classmate,' just call me Xiao Zhao," Xiao Zhao said with a smile. "See you this afternoon! I'll send you the script on WeChat."
After saying that, she chatted and laughed with the other girls and left.
Her slender figure, encased in a pale yellow knit sweater and a white pencil skirt, swayed gracefully in the sunlight. Especially her peach-shaped buttocks, outlined by the pencil skirt, swayed gently with each step, their curves breathtaking.
Shen Li watched her walk away, silently updating the label in her mind: "Xiao Zhao, proactively formed a team. Purpose unclear, observation upgrade."
Then he turned and walked into the cafeteria, heading straight for the sweet and sour pork ribs window.
Making money, participating in entrepreneurship competitions, forming a team for acting classes, treating senior student Xiong Rui to dinner on Saturdays... Shen Li's survival and development plan at Beijing Film Academy has turned a new page.
While happily munching on sweet and sour pork ribs, he took out his phone and sent a message to the 512 dormitory group:
"Brothers, let's have a meeting back at the dorm tonight. I've got a way to make money; let's discuss it."
Jing Yang replied instantly: "Holy crap! Getting rich? Li'er, what big move are you planning now?"
Yang Yi: "What kind of way to make money? Is it legal?"
Dai Xiao: "Based on historical experience, Shen Li's so-called 'get-rich-quick schemes' are usually accompanied by a certain degree of moral hazard and physical exertion. But the returns are indeed considerable. Keep an eye on it."
Shen Li looked at the screen and grinned.
"Don't worry, brothers, it's absolutely legal and legitimate," he typed back. "We, the Four Heroes of 512, will go big if we're going to do it!"
After finishing, he chuckled and picked up the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, happily stuffing it into his mouth.
When Shen Li returned to the dormitory, Jing Yang was lying on the bed applying a face mask.
It wasn't a regular face mask; it was one of those black, asphalt-like things that covered my entire face, leaving only my eyes and mouth showing. At first glance, it looked like a panda from Africa.
"Holy crap!" Shen Li was startled as soon as she entered the door. "Young Master Jing, what are you doing? Are you preparing to go undercover in Africa?"
Jing Yang rolled his eyes (the crack in the mask was barely visible):
"What do you know! This is a bamboo charcoal deep cleansing mask! It absorbs dirt from pores and purifies the skin! Didn't that volcanic mud mask clog the toilet last time? I switched to a different brand, and this one supposedly dissolves with just water!"
Yang Yi poked his head out of the toilet, his face filled with terror: "Jing Yang, if you clog the toilet again, I'll shove you down there, face mask and all!"
Dai Xiao adjusted his glasses and said quietly, "According to the product ingredient list, the main ingredients of this face mask are kaolin, bamboo charcoal powder, and glycerin. Kaolin is insoluble in water. After being flushed down the toilet, the probability of clogging is approximately 73.6%."
Jing Yang: "...Can't you guys wish me well for once?"
Shen Li pulled up a chair, sat in the middle of the dormitory, and clapped her hands: "Alright, alright, we'll talk about the face mask later. Meeting, meeting! We have important business!"
