one

"It's nothing." Pei Haochuan paused at the entrance, responding coldly, yet his gaze lingered on the crowd in the distance, as if searching for something.

Qian Mengmeng was somewhat bewildered by his series of actions. Her fingers instinctively brushed over the place he had just looked at, and she took off the delicate pink strawberry hairpin from her hair, examining it in her palm. Suddenly realizing something, she took off running after him. Pei Haochuan casually turned his head and saw her charging towards him with great momentum. In an instant, memories of his various experiences during that class flashed through his mind, and he instinctively started to run as well

The time for signing the agreement is set for this afternoon at a café located at the south gate of Narita University, which is secluded and tranquil. It not only meets the client's need for confidentiality but also allows for a detailed discussion of the contract's specifics, reflecting her thoughtfulness

Very well, I can accept it, but I also have a few conditions that I hope you can accept as well

Deduct money? Qian Mengmeng did not expect to hear this request at the end, and immediately became nervous. She advised gently, "Why don't you think it over again, and we can discuss it?"

"Deal!" Qian Mengmeng replied decisively, her bright, sparkling eyes shining, "You can rest assured with me! I guarantee to be at your service whenever you call!"

Qian Mengmeng saw that he had relaxed, and before she could even feel happy, regardless of the conditions, she repeatedly answered: "Willing, willing"

"If you perform well, there will be nothing to deduct." Pei Haochuan glanced at the time, picked up the pen clipped to his shirt pocket, signed his name on the contract, set it aside, and waved his phone at her, stating flatly, "The agreement is signed. From now on, you are my exclusive personal assistant. I have noted the phone number you wrote in the announcement, and I will call you if needed."

For Mengmeng, who has been in a situation of constant financial deficit, this money felt like a huge pie falling from the sky, leaving her dizzy and bewildered

Pei Haochuan was momentarily taken aback by the sound, then raised his eyes to look at Qian Mengmeng, instantly revealing a complex expression

Who is it that stands here with the belief that "making money is more important than anything else"? It is the determined Qian Mengmeng, who will not give up due to this minor setback, nor will she retreat

She took out the prepared contract from her backpack, handed it over, and sincerely said: "I apologize for what happened last time. I know you must have a poor impression of me, but could you please reconsider? I, I am really capable! I know every place in City A, and I have also won the championship in athletics. No matter where you ask me to go to fetch something, I will definitely be much faster than others. I also understand first aid, and I am quite proficient in advanced mathematics..."

Qian Mengmeng recalled his twenty stringent demands and the two words "deduct money" that echoed incessantly in his mind, revealing a tearless expression of despair as he reluctantly shook hands with him: "Well... pleasant cooperation"

Qian Mengmeng's eyes darted around as she argued passionately from the perspective of considering him: "Moreover, you should have heard that your fan club already includes more than half of the girls from freshman to senior year. You can't possibly know everyone well, and if you accidentally choose someone from the fan club as your personal assistant, it would be quite impossible for you to protect your privacy. Right in front of you is someone who has not joined the fan club and knows that you are looking for a personal assistant. Why go through the trouble of finding someone else? Don't you think?"

Pei Haochuan walked over to the bench nearby for people to rest, placed the contract under a book to the side, extended a fair hand, and said to Qian Mengmeng: "First, you will be my personal assistant. You must not disclose my privacy to anyone, nor can you reveal that I have hired you as my personal assistant."

Pei Haochuan asked coldly, "Is it impossible?"

Pei Haochuan furrowed his brows in thought for a moment, then raised his gaze to carefully observe her sincere eyes. Slowly, he nodded and said: "Since you put it that way... very well. However, the conditions in the contract alone are not sufficient; we need to add more details. Are you willing to do that?"

Qian Mengmeng was just about to type the three words "I'm sorry," when the person timely added: "If possible, I would hire you for a year first, with an annual fee of 50,000."

Calm down, calm down, one must not be too enthusiastic as it may scare people away

Could it be that she has misidentified the business opportunity? No, she must not think this way. The beginning of entrepreneurship is always challenging, and she cannot be impatient

Who was that who just ran past... ... ?

Since the last time Pei Haochuan left without saying goodbye from the infirmary, Qian Mengmeng had not seen him again. After all, he was a freshman and also a student in the Department of Biological Sciences. With different majors and grades, it was not easy for them to meet. When she saw Pei Haochuan coming this way, she thought that they at least had a friendly acquaintance, so she waved to him enthusiastically and greeted him: "Pei Haochuan!"

Qian Mengmeng furrowed her brows slightly, thought about the considerable annual fee, and after a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Qian Mengmeng stretched out her hand, tightly clutching the strawberry hairpin, and said irritably: "I still want to ask you why you ran away. Pei Haochuan, tell me the truth, are you the one who said in the 'Happy Delivery' APP that you were looking for a personal assistant? You saw me and ran away, you want to back out, right?"

First of all, I need a personal assistant who is available at all times, so during the period of my employment of you, you cannot serve as an assistant to anyone else

On the weekend, everyone rushed out early to go shopping and have fun, and there were very few people coming and going at the South Gate. Qian Mengmeng looked around, feeling frustrated as she recalled that while she was preoccupied with thinking about the 50,000 yuan, she forgot to ask for the other person's phone number and identifying features. However, fortunately, she had not completely lost her mind, as she at least told him that she would wear a pink strawberry hairpin.

Secondly, apart from your working hours and class time, you are required to be available at all other times without complaint

Ah? If I only do business for him alone, how can I make money myself

After all, leaving a good impression on the client is very important; if I become his exclusive personal assistant, we will have to get along for a long time in the future

Oh, mother in heaven, why does she always feel like she has boarded a pirate ship

If I only serve as a personal assistant to one person, wouldn't that be a tremendous loss? Reject him!

Qian Mengmeng suddenly remembered that Yuan Xinyi had mentioned that the person in front of her, Pei Haochuan, was a genius from City A, so she fell silent for a moment and secretly glanced at his expression. He was flipping through the contract, and his expression was not as indifferent as before

I do not know who that person is, but they casually mentioned earning 50,000, which translates to over 4,000 per month. The applicable range of the "Joyful Delivery" app is Narita University, and students can have that much money... How enviable.

He extended his hand, gazing directly into her eyes, "I hope we can get along well in the coming year"

Pei Haochuan suddenly fell silent, his brow furrowing as he fixed his gaze on the hair of Qian Mengmeng, and without any warning, he turned and walked away.

She made up her mind and strode confidently to Pei Haochuan, yet she carefully kept a distance of three steps away to avoid scaring him off again

Qian Mengmeng spread her hands, clearly having come to a realization, and with a quick blink said: "It can be done, you continue, continue."

Moreover... Qian Mengmeng leaned against the tree with a blank expression, listening to him count from one to twenty, her expression complex. She had initially thought he was a very aloof person who did not like to talk much, but she did not expect him to list so many conditions in one breath, each one more demanding than the last. For instance, the coffee must be hot before it is served, and the speed of buying three meals must be within half an hour. If it were anyone else standing here instead of Qian Mengmeng, each of these conditions alone would be enough for them to leave without a second thought.

Pei Haochuan was clearly aware that his conditions were stringent, and he harbored a certain intention to make things difficult for her, hoping she would back down. When he saw her readily agree, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise, then let out a small sigh, as if resigned to his fate, and continued slowly: "Lastly, no physical contact with me is allowed. If these twenty conditions are not met, there will be a deduction in pay"

Twentieth

Pei Haochuan turned his head away and hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding his head

Well, it's nothing... pink... strawberry...

The first client's conditions were so harsh that Qian Mengmeng couldn't help but widen her eyes

In line with the service principle of "The customer is always right," Qian Mengmeng enthusiastically replied, "You may go ahead and speak."

The avatar of the person seeking consultation is still the default grid background of the app, and the registration time in the backend shows it has been less than three minutes. The person's communication is also very concise, without any pleasantries such as "hello" or "are you there". They get straight to the point and say: "I need a personal assistant"

Third

Qian Mengmeng, completely unaware, quickly ran a couple of steps to his side with her backpack on, glanced at his head, and asked with concern: "Is your head alright? The school nurse said there was nothing serious, but do you feel any discomfort afterwards?"

Qian Mengmeng was soothing herself when she suddenly heard a cheerful jingling sound. Her body stiffened, and she lowered her head slowly like a robot...! ... The phone really lit up! It was not an auditory hallucination!

Qian Mengmeng followed his gaze but saw nothing, feeling puzzled as she asked, "What are you looking for? Are you waiting for someone?"

Could it be Pei Haochuan? My goodness, it really is Pei Haochuan

She suddenly grabbed her phone: "It's here, it's here, it has finally arrived"

Qian Mengmeng smiled broadly and immediately replied with lightning speed: "Sure, sure, have you seen the prices and service schedule on the announcement? As long as you can accept it, we can arrange it for you right away"

On the weekend, Qian Mengmeng sat at her desk, twirling a pen while glancing at her completely still phone, unable to suppress her worries. The app had been launched for five days, and Yuan Xinyi not only promoted it on the WeChat public account but also helped her create posters to put up everywhere. Logically, there should have been some business by now, but despite the time that has passed, the transaction information for "Happy Delivery" remained blank. Not to mention direct transactions, there hadn't even been any inquiries.

Qian Mengmeng bit her lower lip, knowing that she had caused him so much trouble last time, and it was only natural for him to be unwilling. However, missing this opportunity meant that it would be nearly impossible for her to earn fifty thousand within a year again. She had to repay the high-interest loans and support her family, so she could not afford to let this opportunity slip away.

Does he have conditions

The spring sunlight is just right, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, with pink and white adorning the entire campus

Qian Mengmeng leaned against the gate, waiting in confusion for a while, unsure whether that person had arrived. Just as she was contemplating whether to inquire on the app, she looked up and saw Pei Haochuan just walking out of the library, holding a thick hardcover book in his hands, slowly approaching the gate.

However, that person did not give her any time to respond and immediately brought up the second condition: "Furthermore, the fact that you will be my personal assistant must not be disclosed to anyone, especially my identity. You must first sign a confidentiality agreement with me, and we can discuss the other terms when we sign the agreement."

Fourth

Five, five ... ... fifty thousand

These two conditions alone are already quite stringent, are there more conditions to follow? One must also not disclose their identity, making it all seem so mysterious

Maintain the mystery, she understands, she understands

The conditions stated in the announcement are quite simple, excluding the time spent in class and working at the café. The business operates until the dormitory closes at night, and charges are based on an hourly rate. Qian Mengmeng believes that her arrangements are quite reasonable.

Qian Mengmeng placed the printed contract into her backpack: "As long as I can make money and pay off the debt, it doesn't matter who it is."

Although she had not been able to see Pei Haochuan before, this matter had always weighed on her mind. After all, his fainting incident had already caused quite a stir at school, and if anything else were to happen, not only would her conscience be troubled, but her life at school might also become difficult. Just a few days into the new semester, Yuan Xinyi mentioned that the momentum of Pei Haochuan's fan club was already close to overshadowing other fan clubs.

Although Pei Haochuan ran quickly, his stamina was worse than expected. Qian Mengmeng chased him from the South Gate all the way to Linyin Road, only to see him propping himself against a tree, slightly out of breath. When he turned around, he frowned at her and after a moment asked, "Why are you chasing me?"
