427: This isn't a roommate, this is a living dad!

Hearing that Ye Su wasn't about to go through "life and death" with Jiang Zhibin, Fang Zewei and Lin Jingjie quietly moved their chairs back into place and, for once, said something nice to Jiang Zhibin:

"Not bad. If you work for Boss Ye, you might just be the next internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers."

"If you get rich, don't forget us. Once you're famous, don't forget your bros."

"What tens of millions of followers?" Jiang Zhibin said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "If I can get a few hundred thousand fans and make more money than I would working a regular job, I'll be satisfied."

"Can you have a little more ambition..." Ye Su couldn't even be bothered to scold him, then turned to look at Fang Zewei:

"And you. You're playing games all day long. Why not just sign with my company and become a proper gaming streamer?

You can take on boosting gigs and game advertisements, link products in your shop, and stream at the same time. The income will definitely be good."

"Me?" Fang Zewei heard this and hurriedly waved his hands. "I'll pass. Zhibin is shameless, so he won't have any problems doing this line of work.

You know what I'm like. I feel awkward just recording videos in front of a camera. It's a struggle for me to speak clearly, so how could I ever be a streamer?"

Just the thought of having to chat away non-stop to the people in the livestream made Fang Zewei feel as uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over him.

"I know, that's why I don't expect you to be 'abstract' or performative. When you stream, just treat it like you're playing games in the dorm. Play however you usually play, just with a phone recording you, and occasionally reply to the chat."

"Ye Su is right." Jiang Zhibin ignored the comment about being "shameless" and tried his best to drag Fang Zewei into it:

"When it comes to gaming, your skills are definitely fine. You just lack a bit of eloquence. Later, just practice a few witty lines in front of the camera, and you'll be set.

Look at those streamers who are worse at the game than you and look even weirder—aren't they doing great? Some are making millions a year.

If you open an account too, we can join forces. We'll be absolute legends on the internet."

With Jiang Zhibin for company and being persuaded by the two of them, Fang Zewei was successfully swayed:

"If you think I can do it, then I'll do it with you."

It's just playing games with a camera on. Fang Zewei didn't believe he couldn't handle such a job.

Jiang Zhibin joining Ye Su's company still required him to think about how to film skits every day.

He was different. He was idle every day and just played games. Even if he joined Ye Su's company, he would still be doing the same thing. When he thought about it carefully, there was actually no loss or downside for him.

Fang Zewei also remembered that a few months ago, Ye Su had introduced him to a game boosting gig.

Being able to make money from playing games was indeed pretty cool.

"Alright, if neither of you has any objections, then it's decided."

Lin Jingjie was still here, and since there wasn't a suitable job arrangement for him, Ye Su didn't discuss base salaries with Jiang Zhibin and the other.

It was actually quite absurd when he thought about it.

Among the four in the dorm, Lin Jingjie was the most serious about his studies and the best at gaming.

Yet, because he was too serious about his studies and had no other special skills or hobbies, Ye Su couldn't help him, and he could only go look for work related to programming.

On the other hand, Jiang Zhibin and Fang Zewei—one had a flighty personality and was somewhat neglectful of his proper duties, while the other was passionate about gaming.

Having other special skills outside of their university majors allowed Ye Su to help them open accounts and monetize their content, letting them make a living off the internet.

No wonder people nowadays, when raising children, besides having them study, will also have them attend various extracurricular classes if they have the means, to cultivate interests and skills outside of academics.

Family background and education are the baseline, but having other interests and skills gives the next generation more possibilities for the future.

[Ding!]

Just as Ye Su was thinking about the different situations of his three roommates, the system interface popped up without warning.

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the "hidden task – Expand Team". The task reward will now be issued to the Host!]

[Task Reward: 1 million in cash, unlock new permissions for the "storage space"!]

Buzz—

At the same time the task completion notification popped up, Ye Su's phone, which was placed face down on the table, vibrated twice.

Having had so much experience before, Ye Su knew this must be the bank SMS notification that 1 million had arrived.

Just during the time it took for the roommates of Dorm 305 to go out for a meal, he had earned 1 million and unlocked a new function for the "storage space". He had really struck it rich this time!

"Uh..." Suppressing his joy, Ye Su turned his head to look at Lin Jingjie:

"dude, don't say I'm excluding you. It's just that I don't know what kind of track you could work in."

"It's fine." Lin Jingjie waved his hand dismissively. "I have some idea of my own situation."

"Although I haven't found a suitable track for you in the livestreaming sector yet, if you plan to start some entrepreneurial project, I can invest in it for you."

"OK."

After the four of them finished discussing business, the waiter began to serve the dishes one by one.

The meal lasted from past twelve o'clock until after one o'clock.

After eating, Ye Su drove the three of them to Xingyue Community to see the apartment and left them a set of keys.

"I'll order new beds and a sofa this weekend. If I'm not free, one of you can come over to sign for the delivery."

"Don't worry, Boss Ye, we guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

At this moment, the three of them felt a sense of gratitude toward Ye Su that was like a surging river, continuous and endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, impossible to stop.

Not only was he providing an empty apartment in Guangzhou for the three of them to live in for free, but he was also doing his best to provide them with another way to make money.

A roommate like this couldn't be found even if you searched with a lantern!

This isn't a roommate; he's practically their living father!

"Alright, that's it then. I have other things to do. You guys can head back to school on your own later?"

"No problem."

"Mm."

After saying goodbye to the three of them, Ye Su returned to the old house in Yunqi Garden, grabbed two large storage boxes, and shoved the remaining items into them haphazardly.

While packing, Ye Su also took out his phone and sent a message to Meng Feiyu.

[Are you free now? I have two boxes of stuff left over from last time that I didn't finish moving. I'd like to call your car to help me move them to Apartment Complex.]

Just as he finished packing, Ye Su received a reply from Meng Feiyu.

[Feiyu: I'm free now.]

[Feiyu: Is it the same address as last time?]

[Yes.]

[Feiyu: Alright, I'm coming over now.]

[Okay.]

After replying, Ye Su snapped his fingers:

"Done."

Of course, Ye Su didn't suddenly call Meng Feiyu over to move these two boxes of miscellaneous items just for the sake of it.

He just wanted to find an excuse to meet with Meng Feiyu and discuss having him come over to help manage his first beef hotpot restaurant.

As for store management, it didn't actually require too much professional expertise.

As long as the food was delicious, the ingredients fresh, the environment clean, and the service attitude not too bad, there basically wouldn't be any problems.

Since Joyful Gathering was Yan Ran's territory, Ye Su didn't need to worry about other issues.
