Chapter 416 173: The Nine Great Saint Bodies of Xiantian, Bai Weixi's Psychological Gap_3
Liu Jia asked in confusion, "No way, Yuan. You really didn't win over any of them? I saw you holding hands with Xia Zhijin this afternoon, didn't I?"
Li Yuan was too lazy to elaborate. He glanced around the dorm room and asked, "Where are Jing and Tianyu?"
Liu Jia explained with a smile, "Jing should be in the library studying. He's really hardworking, staying late every day. It looks like he's aiming for the national scholarship.
"As for Tianyu, he's always coming and going mysteriously, hiding things from us brothers. When asked, he just beats around the bush and is never straightforward.
"I heard from the girls in our class that Tianyu has been getting pretty close to Squad Leader Xiang Qin recently. Who knows, they might become the second couple after you and Xia Zhijin."
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and nodded but didn't say much. To be honest, Xiang Qin and Zhou Tianyu did seem like a good match.
"Liu Jia, Mouse, Qiang, you three should also make an effort to get out of singledom. You can't always be relying on your hand," Li Yuan teased with a chuckle.
Wu Hao sidled up with a cheeky grin. "Yuan, we aren't as rich or charming as you are. With all your girlfriends, could you introduce a few to us? Or hey, organizing a dorm mixer would be great too."
Li Yuan was speechless. He was already overwhelmed with his own problems and hadn't even thought of a solution yet. He was in no mood to help his roommates find girlfriends.
Besides, I'm dealing with millions of yuan a day. Who has time to mess around with you guys?
"After the National Day holiday, club recruitment will start. You guys should join a few clubs, and maybe you'll meet someone you like.
"If that doesn't work, just go to the library, the sports field, the gym, or even out on the main roads. Muster some shameless courage and strike up a conversation. You're bound to get lucky eventually…
"If you want to stop being single, you have to put in the effort yourselves."
Liu Jia slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up. "Yuan's right! Club recruitment is just around the corner. We can join the clubs with lots of girls. Once we get to know them, finding a girlfriend will be easy, right?"
Wu Hao teased, "Liu Jia, are you giving up on Wang Jierong?"
Liu Jia nodded without the slightest embarrassment, replying matter-of-factly, "I've chased her for a month and gotten absolutely nowhere. Her target has always been Yuan, so it's time for me to find a new one.
"There are so many beautiful girls at Daxia University; there's no need to hang yourself on a single tree. When you give up one tree, you gain an entire forest."
After saying this, Liu Jia turned to Li Yuan, twisting his body coyly and calling out in a sappy voice, "Heh heh, Yuan, Adoptive Father, do you need someone to warm your bed tonight?"
Li Yuan shuddered, pushing the encroaching Liu Jia away and scolding with a laugh, "Get lost. There are plenty of girls who want to warm my bed—if not a thousand, then at least eight hundred. There's no room for a hairy monster like you."
Liu Jia was tall and somewhat dark-skinned, with impressively thick body hair. Li Yuan was speechless whenever he looked at him. He was the spitting image of a caveman.
Unperturbed, Liu Jia leaned in again. "Adoptive Father, your son is a bit tight on cash lately and lacks a dating fund. Can you spot me some?"
Li Yuan was taken aback. So that's what this was about?
Previously, Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and the others had subtly suggested they wanted to follow Li Yuan into writing novels to earn some pocket money. However, half a month had passed, and they had barely written a few words.
Writing novels seems simple, but it's difficult in practice. This was especially true for guys like Liu Jia and Wu Hao, who had little exposure to web novels and were completely clueless about them.
Most students who get into a 985 university spent their high school years studying relentlessly. Aside from a few gifted exceptions like Wang Jierong, the vast majority had to toil away at their desks.
Even he, in his past life, had studied hard, but he still fell short of getting into a 985 university by a massive margin.
In this era, most students from 985 universities didn't even date in high school, let alone read novels, which took up even more time.
Li Yuan looked at Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang and thought for a moment. Since they had swallowed their pride and asked, it wouldn't be right to refuse them outright.
Stroking his chin, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said seriously, "Liu Jia, Mouse, Qiang, I actually do need you guys to help me with something. If you do a good job, you could earn a few thousand or even ten thousand a month. The question is, are you willing?"
Seeing Li Yuan agree, Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang nodded eagerly. A salary of several thousand to ten thousand yuan was something they could only hope to achieve after graduating from university. Besides, they were only freshmen, clueless about everything except their studies.
Liu Jia said earnestly, "Yuan, we'll do whatever you say. You could even sell us, and we'd be fine with it."
Wu Hao chimed in, nodding vigorously. "Yuan, you're my idol! I know you're going to do great things. Just say the word, and I'm all yours."
Xu Ziqiang also shouted, "Me too!"
Li Yuan explained with a wry smile, "The way you guys are acting, like you're heading to a firing squad, is actually a little scary.
"Ahem, let me tell you a secret. I've set up a company on the side, mainly for website development... I've already applied for the university's student startup support program and plan to establish a website operations base on campus…
"I want you to come and help. It happens to be in line with our major, so you can learn a few things from the veterans. The only catch is that it might get very busy. You'll have a lot less time for playing basketball, gaming, and dating..."
