Chapter 53 Full Warehouse
Chapter 53 Full Warehouse
It was sunny on March 11.
"Ding ding ding..."
Shen Mo was woken up early in the morning by WeChat.
I groggily opened my phone and found it was the class group chat.
The red notification text indicates that someone tagged him.
Since he started working, he has set the university class group to do-not-disturb mode, so he won't receive any notifications unless someone mentions him.
Class 3, 22 Tourism Management.
"Look what I found, everyone! Isn't this Shen Mo, our class heartthrob? @ShenMo"
"Shen Mo, is that you? You're so cool!"
"She's become a top internet celebrity!"
"Wow! You used to say you were uncoordinated at talent shows, but you danced this well. You're too modest!"
"Please mentor me! I want to be an internet celebrity too, with hundreds of thousands of followers. How much money can I make in a month?"
"Sure enough, good looks are the core competitive advantage! If I were handsome, I could become an internet celebrity too!"
"Is this Shen Mo? His makeup is too exaggerated, it's unrealistic."
……
Shen Mo spent half a day climbing the stairs before finally seeing that Zhou Ting, the literature and art committee member, had tagged him. The post above was a video of the main account doing a leg sweeping dance.
Amidst the wry smile, there was also a secret sense of satisfaction.
Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night.
During his university years, he was quite a minor celebrity due to his outstanding appearance and height.
But ever since his internship began, he has been deeply hurt by the harsh reality.
Especially in the class group chat, news would pop up from time to time about who got into a state-owned enterprise, who was preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, and who went home to inherit the family business...
This made him clearly aware of the variability in life's circumstances.
Although he was good-looking, he remained apathetic until the age of 21, the kind of person who would become arrogant if someone praised him.
He lacked outstanding academic knowledge, had no special skills, was tongue-tied, and had no family to plan his future.
This resulted in him appearing glamorous, but actually starting from a much lower point than others.
Now that he has been given a second chance at life, he naturally wants to defy fate and change his destiny.
"This is our group's main account. I'm doing a live stream right now, so please follow us!"
"You, a future leader of a state-owned enterprise, shouldn't try to steal our jobs, @Zhou Lin."
Having disliked each other since college, Shen Mo could naturally see through Zhou Lin's open sarcasm.
Even in his previous life, when he was thirty-four years old, Zhou Lin had already risen to the position of supervisor at his workplace. He sought out this old classmate for a living, but not only did he fail to close the deal, he was also deliberately stood up by the other party twice.
"Is your company still hiring? I'd like to give it a try! What are the benefits like at your company? What are some tips for becoming an online influencer? How much do you earn per month?"
The message was sent by Zhou Ting, the arts and culture committee member, who was an active member of the student body during her university years.
They are currently seniors, and due to internships, most of them are rapidly transitioning from students to working professionals.
Their preferences have gradually shifted from a wide variety of things to cars, houses, and money.
"I was just lucky to be assigned to a good tour group by the company. As for the secret, it's simply working hard and listening to the company."
He wasn't joking.
If you really want to do this job, the first hard requirement is indeed to be obedient.
After all, no company wants to train a disobedient employee, especially one who is a live streamer.
He couldn't help but recall when he first joined the company, the intense rehearsals and tedious hours, and the endless insults from the rehearsal teacher. If it were someone without perseverance or who didn't listen, they would have been fired the very next day.
And that was indeed the case; of those who joined the company at the same time as him, more than half left in less than a month.
In the second month, after several live streams yielded no revenue, his confidence was shaken, and he left again.
Even he, though he persevered through several months of gritted teeth, fell into severe self-doubt and depression as a result, which led him to jump to his death.
"As for income, it's not very stable and depends on the platform's policies. However, there is a guaranteed minimum at the beginning, and you can earn it as long as you make sure you have enough live streaming time."
"Livestream duration? How long is it?"
"A minimum of six hours per day!"
During his university years, his relationships with his classmates were neither good nor bad, and he tried his best to answer their questions.
Of course, he would never disclose his specific income.
"Six hours? That's not much! Your job is great! Unlike me, I have endless documents to organize every day, and I sometimes have to go on field trips with my mentor, exposed to the wind and sun (bursts into tears)."
"It's supposed to be six hours, but with rehearsals, travel, preparation, and makeup time, it's at least ten hours a day. Overall, it's still very tiring."
"No way! Ten hours! Seriously, they're all working like oxen and horses!"
"I need ten hours of sleep a day, and then another ten hours to work. That leaves me with only four hours? I can't even play two games!"
"Don't say anymore, it's all tears. I'm working from dawn till dusk now, life in Shenzhen is so tough."
"At my current company, the base salary was 5000 before I joined, but after I joined, it became a base salary of 1500 with no performance targets. The other three 3500 can only be earned by completing 5 transactions. I'm so angry."
"My company is even worse. They said they would provide social security during the interview, but after I arrived, they changed their minds and said they would only provide it after a year."
"Social security, you don't want your recent graduate status anymore?"
"What a load of rubbish! I can forget about ever passing the civil service exam or getting a government job."
"No way! I see those streamers with millions of followers online, and the tips they receive in one night are equivalent to half a year's salary for me. @ShenMo"
"Those are independent streamers; they own all their accounts."
"I'm the type who gets a salary but earns commission."
Shen Mo gave a simple reply.
The group chat continued for a while, and the topic shifted from him, a minor internet celebrity, to Zhou Lin, a prospective employee of a state-owned enterprise.
After all, in these times, everyone's first thought is still stability.
Finally, the conversation turned to the Brahmins who had returned to their hometown to develop their careers.
Shen Mo watched for a while, then decided it wasn't interesting and left the class group.
Suddenly I saw a red '1' in the contact person column.
"Zhou Ting!"
That's right, even though they were in the same class, they didn't add each other on WeChat.
After clicking "accept," he went into the kitchen and cooked himself a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
After quietly finishing my meal, I was about to wash the dishes when my phone rang again.
mom?
"Son, what are you doing in Chengdu?"
"Going to work! What's up, Mom?"
"I just went to the hospital, and Dr. Huang told me that you transferred more than 50,000 yuan to the hospital account a few days ago."
"Tell me honestly, what exactly were you doing outside? You can't do anything illegal or disorderly!"
"You absolutely must stay away from online loans and anything like that!"
He gave a silent, bitter smile.
"Mom, don't worry, all of this is what your son earned and paid taxes on."
"I'm doing live streaming online now, and my commission this month is high; it's all part of my salary."
"Salary? What kind of salary can be 50,000 a month?!"
Fortunately, I didn't tell her that I had invested over 100,000 yuan in the stock market.
Otherwise, he had no doubt that Ms. Lin Yu would have taken a car overnight to Chengdu to see if he had been abducted to northern Myanmar.
"Seriously, I'm live streaming! I'm super popular right now. If you don't believe me, download Douyin and check it out. My work account has over a million followers. I myself have 300,000 followers."
"what!"
Although Lin Yu didn't understand live streaming, the fact that she had a million followers still impressed her.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"More real than gold."
"I'll try my best to earn the money for Dad's surgery before it starts, Mom..."
After a long while, the mother's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.
"It must have been tough!"
For some reason, Shen Mo felt a lump in his throat.
Whether before or after his rebirth, his mother sacrificed so much for him and for this family.
Thinking about how pathetic he was in his past life, he wanted to slap himself.
"It's not hard work! It's just dancing."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Mo let out a long sigh of relief.
Open the bank app, and there's a pleasing six-figure sum, shining brightly.
538
Looking at the remaining balance of 530,000, there are too many bitter stories to tell.
I received 1 yuan for the short drama, and 5 yuan, which is 2% of my salary for this month, was advanced. I also earned 5 yuan from live stream tips in the past few days...
Besides that, the extra 400,000 was all borrowed.
Besides Jiebei and WeBank, there were also the credit card cash advances I made in the past few days, and I even borrowed money from "big clients".
Although each one only cost a maximum of 20,000, there was still a fake big customer who called to complain to the company.
Without saying a word, Shen Mo returned the 10,000 yuan, plus 500 yuan in interest.
This has led to a sharp decline in his reputation within the company recently, and his risk level has increased several notches.
Today is Friday.
In other words, today is the last day he can purchase Xiyi shares.
Without hesitation, I went all in.
Including the 120,000 yuan he bought earlier, his total investment is now 650,000 yuan.
A total of 78400 shares.
At this moment, please call me Shen Mancang!
"Next, it's time to improve myself."
Just as I was about to open the message panel, the phone rang again.
"Ming-ge, what brings you here so late?"
