Some people always compare universities to ivory towers, but in Lu Tao's view, universities are actually a small society.

In this society, there are good people and bad people, poor people and rich people, some people are shrewd and some people are honest.

When it comes to it, what everyone talks about the most is innocence, but the reality is that in some things, there are also their own calculations and intrigues.

It's December, the weather is getting colder, and everyone is usually busy studying and preparing for exams at this time, and the library is full from morning to evening. Rong Chao, who has been reading villain books for a long time, has also begun to go to the library to occupy a seat at this time, and even Zhang Jian, Li Hong and others have also spent time on review.

No one wants to fail the exam, in that case, as soon as the next semester starts, you have to come to the school in advance to make up for the exam, if you can't make up the exam, you have to retake it, and the winter vacation is not very comfortable.

The roommates were busy reviewing, but Lu Tao was busy delivering goods.

The early efforts began to usher in a bumper harvest during this time period. December is the peak procurement season for each school, because the general scientific research funds are divided into several stages, at the beginning of the year, it is basically the purchase of things at the end of the previous year, and at the end of the year, it belongs to the previous scientific research funds. Otherwise, there will be no way to apply so much in the coming year, and the state will take it back. So as soon as the time entered December, Lu Tao's orders gradually increased.

The batch of things purchased by Shen Mao was very smooth, and the delivery speed of several manufacturers was not slow, but in more than a week, all the goods were sent to Lu Tao's school, and he took the time to send the invoices and goods together, and then waited for the account to be reported, as long as the manufacturer received the money, he could directly share the profits.

Lu Tao roughly calculated before, just for Shen Mao's purchase, he would probably be able to share more than 1,500 yuan, which is already a huge amount of money for him at present. After all, the living expenses for a month are only about 100 yuan, but I contacted the manufacturer and made a quotation, and it didn't cost too much during the period.

Perhaps because of the meticulous work in the early stage, or perhaps because of the influence of national policies, Lu Tao has been very busy throughout December.

Fortunately, there were very few classes at the end of the year, and he had enough time to do these things.

In front of him was a yellowed desk with a bottle of brand new Hero ink and a fountain pen.

"Senior brother, when will my goods arrive? The mentor has urged me several times. ”

"Senior brother, you can see if there are any of these things, and if so, give me a quote. ”

"Senior brother, the last payment has been reported, it should have arrived in the past few days, remember to check it here. ”

A few roommates went to the library, and Lu Tao's 4-room 120 dormitory became a temporary office, and there were already eight or nine people in it at this time, and the entire dormitory was very crowded.

"Senior Brother Mao, wait, I'll help you urge you in a while, it should be almost there." ”

"Brother Liu, wait a minute, I'm determined to give you the quote today, you see, it's really a little busy here. ”

"Dr. Wu, thank you, don't worry, it's okay, I will definitely receive it. ”

Lu Tao is very busy, it should be said that he is very, very busy, it is only the middle of December, and the orders of the senior brothers in the school are flying towards him like snowflakes.

While he was swiping through the small notebook, he recorded one thing after another. There is no way, there are too many, if you don't record it, I'm afraid you will have to forget it after a while.

"Senior brothers, the hospitality is not good today, don't mind. He didn't even look up, apologizing.

"What are you doing, it's okay, just remember it anyway, I'll go first, and I have to do experiments." “

After finally recording everything, Lu Tao raised his head, rubbed his forehead, and smiled bitterly.

There are so many orders that they are almost too busy, if it's just one day, it's okay, the key is that it started in December, and now, for half a month, basically every day. Even on weekends, the days when students are supposed to be on vacation.

Of course, so many orders, the amount is large and small, the small one may be one or two hundred yuan, and the slightly larger list has two or three thousand, the largest of which is a piece of equipment, but it is in accordance with the process of consumables, after all, it is the teacher's own funds, and it is more urgent, so there is no need to go through the bidding process, and the price is about fifteen thousand.

Since Lu Tao himself does not need to deposit money, he first records the needs of his senior brothers, and then contacts the manufacturers one by one, asks for the price, and then feeds back. Basically, as long as it's not particularly outrageous, everyone has ordered it directly.

On December 20th, five days before Christmas, Lu Tao came to the Postal Savings Bank at the school gate in the evening.

Holding the green savings card in his hand, he felt a little apprehensive. When I called the manufacturer yesterday, he said that the commission for the last purchase of consumables had been called, and he came here now to inquire and withdraw some money by the way.

After inserting the card into the machine, entering the password, and clicking to check the balance, Lu Tao looked at the balance that appeared on the screen and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

6830 yuan.

There are some doubts, the commission of the first batch is more than 400, counting more than 1,500 on Shen Mao's side, it just happens to be close to 2,000 yuan, why is it suddenly more than 4,000?

Could it be that the manufacturer made a mistake? Impossible, Lu Tao thought to himself. When he calculated the share before, it was only more than 1,500, and then after the manufacturer finished accounting for the profit, there were more, which made him very satisfied. But what's going on with the extra 4,000?

I took 500 yuan out of it, and some of it was intended to be used to treat a few brothers to dinner, and the rest was kept for daily expenses.

Now that I can earn money, plus doing this job, face is naturally important, and I still have to buy what I should buy, such as clothes, tea, candy and some small things, so that I can have a good relationship with my senior brothers when the time comes.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Tao saw that Li Hong had come back from the library so early today, and he was sitting on the bed in the lower bunk, his eyes were a little dazed.

stepped forward and patted Li Hong lightly on the shoulder: "Li Hong, why didn't you go to the library today?"

Li Hong raised his eyes, looked at him, and asked, "Lu Tao, are you my brother?"

was a little baffled by Li Hong's words, Lu Tao couldn't help but look at him and said, "Of course it is, what's wrong, what's the nerves." ”

"It's nothing, I just feel so tired of living. Li Hong made a look of lovelessness.

Although it was the first time Lu Tao had seen him like this, he didn't take it seriously at all. At this age, I like to moan without disease, sad spring and autumn, and I used to be nervous like this.

"What are you tired of, life is so good, school is so wonderful. Lu Tao joked, and when he got the first money he earned after being reborn, he was naturally happy.

Li Hong rolled his eyes and said, "You are really heartless. Did you know that you're about to pay your tuition for the next semester? “

"Ahh Lu Tao came back to his senses, it turned out that Li Hongchou was shocked in his mind, and remembered the extra thousands of yuan just now when he saw the card, wasn't it the one-year tuition fee that his parents called?

"I almost forgot if you didn't remind me. Lu Tao replied.

"When will I graduate? Li Hong looked at the top of the dormitory and sighed.

Lu Tao said: "What do you want, isn't it only two years, what are you anxious about." “

"I feel that I am useless, the family harvest this year is not good, yesterday my parents told me that the family's New Year pigs have been sold, the tuition fee is still 1,000 yuan, relatives and friends can not borrow. "The conditions in Li Hong's family are not good, and when he talks about this, he sighs for a long time.

Lu Tao thought about it, sighed softly, sat down next to Li Hong, and said, "It's okay, life will be better." “

Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Well, in the future, I must study hard and find a good job, so that my parents will not be so miserable." ”

"Is there still a thousand left?" Lu Tao looked at him, nodded, and asked again.

"Yes. ”

"Well, I've just made some money recently, so why don't you take it first and pay the tuition. "Li Hong is Lu Tao's best brother in the whole school. He always remembered that in his previous life, after graduation, the first year of work was not good, at that time his father was seriously ill and urgently needed surgery, and he found Li Hong to borrow money in desperation, Li Hong didn't say a word, he directly called 5,000 over, and then he wanted to pay him back, he kept refusing to do so.

This is a classmate, the best brother, in Lu Tao's opinion, sometimes closer than relatives.

So this time, he didn't hesitate in the slightest.
