Chapter 74: Entrepreneurship Base Camp

Actually the military inspection ceremony does have something worth watching. Even if you don’t want to see them train you can at least enjoy looking at the beauties but when it gets to the principal’s speech part the new students below all wilt instantly one by one listless would rather pick their nose than watch a moment longer.

Jiang Qin was also bored to the point of falling asleep but before he could doze off he was woken by his phone vibrating.

The call was from Cao Xinyue at the entrepreneurship base saying his entrepreneurship application had been approved and to come get his registration card when he had time the activity room was also approved for use anytime.

“?”

Wasn’t it at least a month and new students had a low pass rate?

I was planning to rent a place outside school but now there’s an unexpected pleasant surprise?

Jiang Qin raised his head glancing at the principal standing on stage droning on and on thinking I need to find a way to leave first sitting here is purely a waste of time might as well go check out the entrepreneurship base.

But before he could ponder Ma Jiangming came huffing and puffing over from the passage by the stage.

“Junior are you interested in joining our student council?”

“My ideological awareness isn’t high enough plus I get it student council not much power but a ton of trivial matters.” Jiang Qin directly waved his hand to refuse.

Ma Jiangming didn’t quite agree with what he said: “You can’t say that our School of Finance’s student council actually has a lot of power.”

Jiang Qin thought for a bit: “Then let me give an example like if I don’t want to listen to the principal’s speech now I want to leave do you have the power to let me go? Probably not right?”

“Just that? Forget about me a mere vice president even any department head can do that.” Ma Jiangming was unbelievably arrogant.

“Wow so awesome thanks senior.”

“??????”

Jiang Qin packed his things taking three steps in two bounds he dashed off the stage circling to the back and disappearing on site only leaving Ma Jiangming still dazed for a moment unable to react.

Was I tricked?

Did I just agree to let him leave?

But he didn’t seem to agree to join the student council!

After leaving the main training field Jiang Qin bought two milk teas to bring over then arrived at the university student entrepreneurship base on Academy Road 2 and familiarly pushed open the door to the general office.

Star senior sister Cao Xinyue was organizing files as soon as she saw him come she immediately stood up handed him a transparent document bag and a white bordered sign then put down two keys.

“Junior your luck is really good Professor Yan thinks your project is great he personally helped you apply for all this stuff the activity room is 208 on the 2nd floor.”

“Professor Yan?”

Cao Xinyue nodded: “Yes but Professor Yan isn’t here today you probably won’t see him it’s fine though we’re very close to here there will always be chances to meet.”

“Okay thanks senior have some milk tea.”

Jiang Qin passed over one of the milk teas then walked over to the senior watching TV.

Probably still not over being spoiled last time as soon as the senior saw Jiang Qin he panicked immediately raising his hands to cover the screen looking at him vigilantly.

“What do you want to do?”

“Relax just treating you to milk tea.”

Jiang Qin put down the milk tea looking harmless glancing at the top left corner of the screen Soldiers Shock.

Well well knew the silly girl was gone so switched shows the senior is a man of character.

He took the plastic folder and left the general office door stepping upstairs then searched by the door numbers finally finding the school provided activity room 208.

Opening the door and entering there were a few white long tables inside the walls had various line charts pasted some had fallen off from age scattered on the ground.

Jiang Qin went over to peek discovering the project previously done in this room seemed to be a group-buy website the last chart was dated 5 years ago it was probably defunct by now.

Ten minutes later Su Nai and Dong Wenhao who received the call also rushed over the two circled the room eyes full of emotion.

“This room will be ours from now on?”

“Wow it’s even bigger than the Literature Club’s activity room.”

The two circled then immediately called their team members telling them to bring their computers over.

Honestly having a base camp makes a huge difference for entrepreneurship once you have a fixed location the sense of belonging immediately comes.

“Should we make a door sign to mount on the door?”

“Hang some ribbons it’s a bit plain.”

“I think we can put a screen in the middle content team sits south tech team north!”

Both teams were a bit excited chirping non-stop feeling they could finally end their guerilla lifestyle lugging equipment around to freeload classrooms felt terrible.

“Boss what else do you think we should set up?”

Su Nai pushed his glasses.

“I think we should start with a major cleaning.”

Jiang Qin smiled and threw a pile of rags on the table.

The team members thought the boss would say some impassioned words but hearing it was time to work they immediately started grumbling but were still very happy because with a base everyone felt even more like a team.

Once the cleaning started Jiang Qin took the lead in tearing down the old charts on the walls stuffing them in trash bags the girls washed the rags and started wiping the tables and windows.

Taking this chance Jiang Qin wiped his sweat calling Shi Miaomiao over she was a doll-faced girl with neat short hair looking very delicate.

“Miaomiao take a few girls to the 2nd floor of Cafeteria 2 to order some dishes.”

“Okay boss.”

Shi Miaomiao took the money Jiang Qin handed over calling the tech team’s Wen Jinrui Dong Miaomiao and content team’s Ding Yuzhen Lü Yingying the five headed out from the entrepreneurship base rushing to the cafeteria.

Half an hour later the activity room was pretty much cleaned Shi Miaomiao’s group had also bought back the food a few people laid old newspapers on the tables and started chowing down.

Honestly all that pie in the sky motivation stuff does boost the team’s drive it’s true but nothing beats happily eating together in your own territory after getting work done.

This feeling is like eating lunch in the fields after the busy farming season filled with the joy of harvest and a heartfelt sense of satisfaction.

Of course the website just started it’s too early to say harvest but at least it’s on the right track.

After eating those with class left those without all went back to get computers to start working.

The external editing group’s Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing also rushed over at this time bringing back good news.

The school’s IELTS TOFEL training class wants to advertise on the site and gave a 2000 RMB deposit.

According to the owner of the training class they put ads on the old forum every year but the results were abysmal this year they originally decided not to advertise again but couldn’t resist changing their mind after seeing Zhihu.

Anyway the ad budget was already made trying a new channel wasn’t impossible.
