Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 348 - 142: Summer Vacation Arrives, Nanaz Begs for a Favor
The cicadas were getting louder, signaling the approach of summer vacation.
In the campus of the Financial Institute, the faculty dormitory.
"Our Zhejiang University branch is on fire, hotter than the summer itself. The boss’s marketing strategies for the grand opening were impressive. Especially those little fans, over ten thousand were distributed, and if you go to Zhejiang University, almost every student walking on the campus has one to fan themselves with!"
Kang Baohong was beaming with enthusiasm.
Since the opening of the Zhejiang University branch, he had been managing it, deeply feeling its immense popularity.
Though it had been open for just about half a month, it felt like it was at its peak.
The store was bustling with customers every day.
In the shortest time, Su Zelin played the sentimental card and established a brand concept at this university, which would bring something vital to New Era—customer loyalty.
Just because of the store’s branding, if the prices weren’t significantly different, many Zhejiang University students would choose this digital store over the computer city.
University students, especially top students, value sophistication. In their eyes, New Era is a brand with sophistication and sentiment, whereas the computer city is nothing but a vulgar and kitschy place filled with the stench of money.
Although not many have customized their computers since the opening, it’s already better than expected.
The key thing is that with such high popularity, one can fully anticipate the surge of computer customizations during the start of the next semester, bringing significant profits to the Zhejiang University branch.
Based on the student population comparisons between Zhejiang University and the Financial Institute, and previous earnings from the Financial Institute’s store, preliminary estimates suggest that profits might break through the 300,000 mark within just ten days after the start of the next semester.
However, patience is needed for over two months, waiting for the summer vacation to end.
Dai Chuangxing took a sip of tea and said, "A few days ago Zhou Fuliang called me and said that your store is doing great, especially the phrases on those fans are very imaginative. If there’s time next semester, we could meet up for a cup of tea."
This classmate of his, the president of Zhejiang University, was a professor from the Philosophy Department. Those golden phrases that dominated the BBS for a long time caught Zhou Fuliang’s interest.
If it was just one or two phrases, it would be fine, but there were hundreds. From a Philosophy professor’s point of view, it was quite unbelievable.
Because of this, the president of Zhejiang University also wanted to meet the person behind the digital store, wondering what kind of person he is, which was an unexpected joy for Su Zelin.
But it’s the end of the semester, and Zhou Fuliang is relatively busy with his work for now.
"That’s great!"
Su Zelin was overjoyed.
He initially thought it would take longer to personally connect with the president of Zhejiang University, but it happened faster than he expected.
Kang Baohong was quite impressed.
The little boss is really competent, using a marketing idea to not only make the branch successful but also getting a chance to have tea with someone like the university president.
Educated, brainy people are indeed different.
The general manager’s previous notion of the uselessness of education has completely changed because of Su Zelin. He feels that he should find opportunities to enroll in night school or something and enrich himself, or else as New Era grows and its brand image becomes more sophisticated, he, the general manager, would seem like a bumpkin out of place.
...
In the campus of the Financial Institute, the general course classroom.
As the holiday was approaching, the homeroom teacher Yao Hui held the last class meeting of the semester.
Before the homeroom teacher arrived, the classroom was lively, since the final exams had just finished, everyone was discussing animatedly.
Freshmen mainly studied general foundation courses.
In the first semester of Financial Management, there were courses like "Political Economy," "College English," "Advanced Mathematics," "Basic Morality and Law," "Basic Computer Culture," and so on.
The next semester was similar, with "Outline of Modern Chinese History," "Military Theory," "Calculus," "Linear Algebra," alongside more major-related general courses like "Principles of Management," "Microeconomics," and "Macroeconomics."
Besides that, students had to pick some electives, which were used to earn credits.
General electives were about 10 credits, basically open to everyone.
Major-specific electives usually could only be taken by students of that major, mostly being major courses, requiring a total of over 20 credits.
Elective credits were a mandatory requirement for graduation, and even if you excelled in other courses, you couldn’t graduate without fulfilling them.
Although university life was quite relaxed, after exams, some were happy while others were worried.
Those who studied seriously didn’t have to worry, but those who skipped classes to play computer games had headaches now.
The final report cards would be sent home during the vacation. Those who performed poorly and knew they needed to retake courses would think about intercepting the mail, or else they’d suffer scoldings or beatings from their parents. This was something the lazybones frequently did in his past life, though not necessary now.
Due to his position as class monitor, he had to set an example. Though he didn’t attend study sessions, he still went to classes regularly, which was enough for him to cope with exams and even achieve quite excellent scores, eliminating the need to intercept the school’s mail.
"How did you do on your exams?"
The girls from room 501 and the boys from room 302 were exchanging their results.
"Other subjects were okay, but Calculus was a headache. I think it’s too hard, and I’m afraid I didn’t score well!"
Hu Xu was a bit troubled.
