Jingyang's eyes darted around as if they had an automatic tracking system, and he muttered his comments under his breath:
"Those legs are amazing...that waist-to-hip ratio is incredible...wow, with that face, she's definitely a campus beauty queen, right?"
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed, his eyes darting around, wanting to look but not daring to, his face slightly red.
On the surface, Shen Li kept her eyes straight ahead, appearing like a "gentleman," but in reality, her peripheral vision was also busy, and she was calmly analyzing the situation in her mind:
The frequency and posture of this runner suggest they are either a dancer or someone who works out regularly; the one carrying the book walks with a steady gait and a focused look in their eyes, and is probably a high-achieving student.
The one joking and playing around with their companion, with expressive face and rich body language, is likely a performing arts student... Hmm, they're all potential sources of information or observation samples... Oh, or perhaps 'friends' with whom you could have deeper conversations...
When we arrived at the auditorium, it was already packed with people sitting inside.
The freshmen sat in their assigned areas according to their departments, with the performing arts department's seats closer to the front. Shen Li and her classmates found their seats and sat down, surrounded by beautiful women and fragrant breezes.
A girl in the front row turned around to borrow a pen. Shen Li looked up and saw that it was the girl with the "peach butt" from yesterday's registration!
Today she changed into a fitted knitted short-sleeved top. The neckline wasn't low, but the tight fabric outlined her full upper body curves stunningly, especially her slender waist and amazing waist-to-hip ratio, which were even more prominent when she was sitting.
She took the pen from Shen Li and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, it's nice to see you again. My name is Xiao Zhao." Her voice was soft and gentle, and her eyes sparkled.
"You're welcome, Xiao Zhao."
Shen Li smiled and nodded, silently reciting in her mind: Xiao Zhao, I'll remember the name. Physical characteristics: peach-shaped buttocks, sweet voice, and seemingly friendly attitude.
On the other side, a few seats away, Shen Li saw the "fitness beauty" she had met in the stairwell yesterday.
Sitting upright, wearing a simple sporty polo shirt, her tall posture and smooth body lines were still eye-catching, and her profile was clear and beautiful.
Orientation sessions are nothing more than the same old stuff: speeches from leaders and sharing from senior students.
Shen Li listened absentmindedly, her mind preoccupied with more practical questions: What to eat for lunch? How expensive is the cafeteria? How many meals will the initial meal allowance on her campus card from yesterday be enough?
After a long and arduous wait, the crowd poured out of the auditorium.
The pre-recruitment booths for student clubs have been set up and are bustling with activity.
The street dance club was playing upbeat music, and several hot girls wearing crop tops and shorts were improvising. Their movements were powerful and sexy, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
In the drama club, some people in costumes were handing out flyers. A girl in a cheongsam had a graceful figure, her curves were fully exposed, and her legs were spread wide open, revealing glimpses of her fair thighs.
Even the cosplayers from the anime club all have exquisite makeup, amazing figures, and wear various "battle outfits" that accentuate their figures, attracting the attention of otaku.
Jingyang was in his element, lingering at various booths and busy adding people to recruitment WeChat groups.
Yang Yi was stunned by the street dance club's performance and stood there watching dumbfounded.
Shen Li is more interested in those seemingly "pragmatic" clubs... such as entrepreneurship associations, external relations departments, etc., which might have part-time job information.
After wandering around, I found very little.
Shen Li's stomach started rumbling, so she decided to go to the cafeteria to check it out first.
Halfway there, my phone vibrated. I picked it up and saw it was a WeChat transfer from my mom... 500 yuan.
P.S.: "Lili, the new semester is starting. Buy some necessities. Take good care of yourself. If you need more money, tell Mom."
Shen Li looked at the five hundred yuan, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Her mother had remarried and had her own new family; it was already quite generous of her to give this much.
He replied, "Thank you, Mom, I will," and clicked "accept."
Five hundred yuan—how long can that last in Beijing, at the Beijing Film Academy? Tuition and accommodation fees are covered by a loan, but living expenses, material costs, social expenses… Shen Li felt a heavy burden of pressure.
As I walked to the cafeteria entrance, I saw Xiao Zhao and several girls walking out chatting and laughing, carrying takeout containers in their hands.
Xiao Zhao also saw Shen Li and waved with a smile. The sunlight shone on her bright face and exquisite figure, making her look incredibly beautiful and youthful.
Shen Li smiled and responded, then turned and walked into the cafeteria. The aroma of food wafted towards him, and he looked up at the price list:
Braised Pork Ribs Set Meal: 28 yuan
Braised Chicken Rice: 22 yuan
Beef noodles: 25 yuan
Vegetarian set meal: 15 yuan
"..."
Shen Li touched the five hundred yuan that had just arrived in her pocket, still warm, and then looked at the mouthwatering but equally "beautiful" dishes, taking a deep breath.
He walked to the cheapest window and said, "A bowl of rice, with... shredded potatoes. Oh, and a free bowl of soup, please."
Carrying her lunch, which cost eight yuan (rice, shredded potatoes, and free soup), Shen Li found a corner to sit down.
At the next table, several students who looked to be from well-off families were eating stir-fries and chatting about their artistic ideals.
Across from us, a couple was feeding each other, their sweetness overflowing.
Shen Li rummaged through the shredded potatoes in her bowl, her eyes filled with images of vibrant, beautiful women. A sensual campus life? Quite sensual indeed.
But this financial crisis is real and imminent.
"Looking at things won't put food on the table."
Shen Li swallowed a mouthful of rice, her eyes hardening. "I need to hurry. The money-making plan has to be put on the agenda. Where should I start...?"
He glanced around the cafeteria, his eyes sweeping over the diverse group of students, various thoughts flashing through his mind:
Substitute tutor? Run errands? Help with homework (this doesn't seem like a good fit)? Work as a part-time model? Or... explore some more "creative" needs?
In Shen Li's eyes, the Beijing Film Academy campus, besides the ubiquitous impact of good looks and figures, also carries a deeper layer of reality, requiring careful planning for survival.
He knew that his university life was destined to be more than just romance and academic courses.
"The first step," Shen Li silently planned, "is to figure out part-time jobs both on and off campus, especially those that are quick to pay and have relatively low barriers to entry. The second step is to see if I can take advantage of my 'professional advantage' in the performing arts department to get some small jobs. The third step... is to figure out how to build my own information network and connections."
After finishing her meal, Shen Li didn't immediately return to her dorm. Instead, she wandered over to the school's bulletin board, where various notices, club activities, lost and found notices, and... some part-time job ads were posted.
His gaze, like radar, carefully swept over every slip of paper that might bring "economic benefits".
In September, the sun shone brightly in Beijing. Shen Li's "money-making scheme" officially began amidst this atmosphere brimming with youthful hormones.
Standing in front of the bulletin board, Shen Li scanned the colorful slips of paper with the eyes of a searchlight, as if she were sweeping through mines.
Tutoring, distributing flyers, restaurant servers... these are all routine jobs with shockingly low hourly wages, and they take up a lot of time, making them poor value for money and not in line with the core strategy of "making money efficiently".
"Tsk, that's it?"
Shen Li pursed her lips, about to retreat, when her gaze was suddenly drawn to a palm-sized, crookedly printed A4 sheet of paper in the corner. The title was just two words, in bold… “Urgent Hiring!”
