The profit margin on fruits in the supermarket could reach as high as 58%.
As for snacks, the profit margin was around 30%.
However, a high margin did not necessarily mean high profit.
Especially for fruits… their shelf life was short. If they couldn’t be sold in time, forget profit… everything would turn into a loss.
In his previous life as a villain, Chen Zhuo had simply relied on wishes and risen to overwhelming heights. A small business like a supermarket had never required his attention.
But that didn’t mean he didn’t understand business.
By offering a 10% discount to his classmates, whenever they needed snacks or fruits in the future, they would naturally prioritize his supermarket.
This was, in itself, a form of marketing.
At the same time, it would help him build relationships and establish his standing within Public Administration Class 3.
Two birds with one stone.
“Alright, everyone, quiet down. Our new class assistant only gets a 400 yuan monthly allowance. Judging by your enthusiasm, even if he spent it all on you, it wouldn’t be enough!” Teacher Wang joked from the side.
Looking at the current situation, Li Yueyue had truly recommended the right person. This Chen Zhuo was outstanding.
What she didn’t quite understand was… Chen Zhuo clearly wasn’t doing this for the allowance. So why had he taken the initiative to become the class assistant for Public Administration Class 3?
Could it really be because Ye Fei had gotten injured in his supermarket?
“Wow! Senior Chen Zhuo is amazing!”
This time, everyone willingly put away their phones and focused intently on him.
Chen Zhuo continued, “I’m sure you’re all curious. If it’s not for money, why did I come to be your class assistant? The reason is your class monitor, Ye Fei.
He was injured in my supermarket yesterday. Medical treatment can be solved with money, but when I found out he was the class monitor of Public Administration Class 3, I immediately thought of his responsibilities.
Now that he’s hospitalized, he can’t manage the class. I happened to have some free time, so I came to take on this responsibility for him. For the coming period, I hope everyone can cooperate with my work.”
His tone was calm, sincere, and firm.
The students below responded with a round of applause.
Even Jiang Qiuli, sitting quietly in the corner, raised her hands and clapped along.
“Hey, look, even Jiang Qiuli is clapping,” a boy sitting in another corner whispered.
“You know, she never used to clap before.”
“What do you know? She’s clearly been won over by our new class assistant’s noble character! And you… can you stop watching those videos here? Look at him, then look at yourself.”
“Alright, alright… I’ll watch later back in the dorm,” the boy said with a grin as he put away his phone.
“Alright, it seems everyone really welcomes our new class assistant. I’ll leave now. You all can communicate more with him,” Teacher Wang said with a smile. She wasn’t responsible for just one class and still had others to check on.
Just as she turned to leave, Vice Class Monitor Ye Huiqing stood up. “Teacher Wang! There’s one more thing. Our class had originally planned a group activity to be handled by Class Monitor Ye Fei, but now that he’s hospitalized, should we still go ahead with it?” New chapters come out on novelping . com first.
Teacher Wang thought for a moment and looked at Chen Zhuo. “That depends on Chen Zhuo. He’s acting class monitor now. If he agrees, just give me a simple plan.”
“Got it!”
After Teacher Wang left, the classroom quickly grew lively again. Everyone began discussing with their roommates.
Chen Zhuo cleared his throat, and the room immediately quieted down.
“Earlier, you mentioned the class had a group activity planned?”
“Yes! Class Monitor Ye Fei originally scheduled it for the day after tomorrow, Friday afternoon. We don’t have classes then, and the weather is supposed to be great!”
Chen Zhuo took out his phone and checked the weather.
The next few days around Friday all looked good… comfortable temperatures, with sunshine.
After that, the temperature would drop sharply.
From a sensory standpoint, these days were the last glow of autumn.
In a few days, it wouldn’t be suitable for outdoor activities anymore.
A class group outing…
Chen Zhuo suddenly realized this was a perfect opportunity.
If he invited Jiang Qiuli out alone, she would definitely refuse. But if it was under the name of a class activity, it wouldn’t be so easy for her to decline.
“Alright, what was your original plan for the activity?” he asked.
“To go to the sports field and play games.”
Chen Zhuo nodded, then asked the class, “How many of you want to go to the sports field and play games?”
Not a single boy in the back raised his hand. Only a dozen or so girls in the front did, not even forming a majority.
The result was exactly as he expected.
In the first year of university, many would be interested in such activities. But by the second year, once the novelty had worn off, few people were still enthusiastic.
“Alright. Since most of you don’t want to go to the sports field, we’ll change the plan.”
“Near the school, at Bishui Lake Park, there’s a newly opened villa party house. You can fish, cook, watch movies in a home theater, play PS5, and more. How about we all go there together this Saturday?”
Chen Zhuo spoke casually.
The so-called newly opened party house in Bishui Lake Park was something he had made up on the spot.
However, there really was a villa there.
And the owner of that villa… was none other than him.
It had been a reward from his family when he was admitted to Zhongjiang University.
He had never actually stayed there.
If he didn’t use it a few times a year, the hundreds of thousands of yuan in annual management fees would truly go to waste.
“Wow! Really?! I’m going!”
“Count me in!”
“Me too!”
This time, regardless of gender, everyone raised their hands.
Except for one person… Jiang Qiuli.
That, too, was within Chen Zhuo’s expectations.
“Alright, you can all put your hands down. There’s one more thing. I’ll cover the cost of the villa party house this time. I hope everyone can attend.”
In the calmest tone, he said something that set the entire class ablaze.
The girls in the front stared at his handsome face, their eyes sparkling.
What kind of divine class assistant was this?
The boys in the back were even more exaggerated.
With Teacher Wang gone, they fully unleashed themselves.
“Dad! Thank you, big dad!”
“Godfather, please accept my bow!”
“I’m moved… truly moved!”
“Thinking back to when Ye Fei was still class monitor… what kind of miserable days were we living!”
“Say no more… thank goodness he’s hospitalized now. Hope he stays there a few more months!”
Chen Zhuo cleared his throat, signaling for silence.
He continued, “However, the fruits, drinks, and snacks needed for the party will be at your own expense. My class assistant allowance can’t cover that.”
“No problem!”
Everyone in the class, except Jiang Qiuli, wore bright smiles.
“Alright, begin your study.”
After saying that, Chen Zhuo walked out of the classroom.
“Godfather, take care!”
After leaving, Chen Zhuo found Teacher Wang, who had just stepped out of the adjacent classroom.
“Teacher Wang, I have a small favor to ask. Could you go in and call Jiang Qiuli out for me?”
