Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Chapter 262 - 258: Lin Fan’s Time Management Class

In the afternoon, Wu Yun went to Pinduoduo. He had a long, heart-to-heart talk with Zhou Shen about his thoughts on the financing, and also took the opportunity to catch up on Pinduoduo’s recent situation.

Speaking of which, the financing had come just in time. Pinduoduo’s original 100 million yuan in the bank had dwindled to less than 40 million.

But effort yields rewards. Pinduoduo’s registered users had broken the 20 million mark yesterday, and the platform’s total transaction volume for all of November had reached 2.5 billion.

However, due to the massive initial subsidies and discounts for merchants, Pinduoduo’s operating income wasn’t very high. This was considered a weakness in the recent business due diligence.

So, Wu Yun and Li Qiuliang had discussed it and agreed to avoid this weakness as much as possible during the negotiations the day after tomorrow, focusing instead on their strengths.

Wu Yun didn’t stay at Pinduoduo for long. He then went to Phoenix Entertainment, but it turned out Wei Feng was away on a business trip. So, after sitting for a little while, Wu Yun had Wei Wu pick him up and take him back to the Modu Drama Academy.

Wu Yun sat on a bench on campus, basking in the gradually setting sun. The warmth spread over his body, making him feel drowsy.

Just as Wu Yun’s mind began to wander, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind him. "Yo~ Isn’t it Young Master Wu!? Waiting for Qi Fei to get out of class?"

Wu Yun turned to look. It was Lin Fan, the boyfriend of Qi Fei’s classmate Zhang Yun, from the first time he’d treated everyone to a meal in Modu. The one and only master of time management!

"What a coincidence, Lin Fan!" Wu Yun didn’t bother with formalities like calling him ’senior,’ since he was pretty much detached from school life now.

Lin Fan sat down next to Wu Yun without invitation and said, "Young Master Wu! You’re really famous this time! A lot of people in our academy know you’re the boss of Little Red Car and Qi Fei’s boyfriend!"

"If I were at all interested in starting a business, I’d be shamelessly latching onto your coattails right now!"

Wu Yun didn’t want to dwell on the topic, since he wasn’t particularly close with Lin Fan.

However, he was very interested in Lin Fan’s Skills: Master of Time Management and Master of Photographic Photography. On a whim, he used his glasses to size Lin Fan up again.

To his surprise, Lin Fan’s Master of Time Management Skill had actually upgraded to Master Level!

’Whoa! It’s only been two or three months, but Lin Fan has changed so much.’

Wu Yun then asked, "Are you here to pick up Zhang Yun from class too?"

Lin Fan replied while messaging on his phone, "Yeah! I have a date with Yunyun today. We’re going to dinner and a movie."

Wu Yun had excellent eyesight. He could clearly see Lin Fan constantly switching between different chat windows on WeChat. Some women were even sending Lin Fan rather suggestive photos. Even the usually composed Lin Fan couldn’t resist tapping on the photos and zooming in with both hands.

Wu Yun clearly saw Lin Fan quickly reply: "Nice selfie! But it’s nowhere near as good as my work. When you’re free, I’ll shoot a private session for you, on the house!"

"Look, these are some of my regular portrait shots!~"

...

While chatting with Wu Yun, Lin Fan methodically messaged about ten different girls on his phone.

Watching Lin Fan’s finger speed, Wu Yun couldn’t help but be a little impressed. ’He really is a master of time management. That speed alone is something an ordinary person could never match.’

Even if your hands could keep up, it would be a case of: Hands: "I’ve got it!" Brain: "I f***ing haven’t!"

"Lin Fan, are you always this busy? So many people asking you for photoshoots? Can you even handle it all?"

Lin Fan gave a smug smile. "Young Master Wu, there’s an art to it! You have to prioritize everything. So I usually make a plan—what to do when, and who I’m shooting for. I also don’t schedule things too tightly. You have to leave some buffer time so you don’t get flustered!"

Lin Fan held his phone in front of Wu Yun, showing him. "Look, I’ve numbered all of them. Of course, you probably can’t make sense of the numbering; it’s my own system."

"The ones with a number 1 after their name are important. If someone like that makes a request, I can schedule her in during my buffer time! That way, it shows her I’m prioritizing her, and it doesn’t mess up my schedule!"

"Number 2 is slightly less important, number 3 even less so. Anyway, I just assign the numbers based on my own judgment!"

Wu Yun had a feeling Lin Fan hadn’t told him the whole story. ’This "number 1" category probably also includes girlfriends or potential targets.’

"What if two ’number 1s’ contact you at the same time? How do you handle that?" Wu Yun was very curious about this.

Lin Fan smiled smugly and said, "If someone is rated as a ’number 1,’ I make a subconscious effort to add some of her friends. If two of them hit me up at once and I really can’t get out of it, I’ll go through her friends to create a distraction for her and buy myself some time."

"As for how to stall for time, well, that depends on the situation and requires a bit of wisdom!"

Wu Yun frowned. "Can you give me an example? Let’s say, for instance, you have three girlfriends right now!"

The moment Wu Yun finished speaking, Lin Fan shot a nervous glance around. Seeing no one was nearby, he let out a sigh of relief. "Holy shit, Young Master Wu! How did you know I was two-timing... I mean, three-timing?"

Wu Yun was stunned for a second, then he laughed. "Don’t be nervous, I was just guessing! Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!"

Wu Yun, for his part, kept quiet about having other girlfriends himself.

Lin Fan was a sharp guy. Seeing Wu Yun ask such a question, he said with a knowing smile, "Seems like Young Master Wu has quite a few female friends himself! After all, you’re not always in Modu. You must have female friends in other places."

"If you’re planning on doing this, the first thing you need to do is think through your future arrangements. If it were me, I would definitely not find two girlfriends in the same city. That’s how you avoid a bloodbath."

"Once you’ve eliminated the risk of a bloodbath, you have to seize the initiative. For example, I’d photoshop a class schedule, adjust the times, and send it to one of my other girlfriends. That way, I can hang out with my girlfriend at school without being disturbed."

"Same principle, seize the initiative. Send your schedule to the third girlfriend. That way, when you answer a call or video chat in your free time, you won’t be caught off guard!"

"If you want to keep them from finding out about each other, you have to make use of everything and everyone around you, including getting your friends to cover for you!"

Lin Fan saw a student walk past up ahead, so he lowered his voice. "Also! Call forwarding is a great tool sometimes! The prerequisite is having a good bro who’s willing to cover for you!"

Listening to Lin Fan’s long-winded lecture on the subject, Wu Yun couldn’t help but admire the precision of his time management. "Uh... have you ever run into a bloodbath?"

Lin Fan gave Wu Yun a surprised look. He said, with a hint of a humblebrag, "Never once!~"

Afterward, Wu Yun and Lin Fan exchanged a few more tips and tricks. By the time a class period had passed, Wu Yun felt he had learned a great deal.

Noticing that the number of pedestrians was starting to increase, Wu Yun finally changed the subject.

"Lin Fan! You like photography! I like photography too! It’s just that I mostly shoot landscapes. When you have time, you should teach me how to shoot artistic portraits!"
