That morning, after his two daughters went to class, Su Chen headed to the bookstore.
Starting that morning, the bookstore had switched to a new system: customers could now rent books.
For a 100-yuan membership fee, they could rent any four books from his bookstore.
Once they returned the four books, they could choose to get their 100-yuan membership fee back.
Or they could choose to keep renting books.
When registering a rental, they also recorded the student's name and phone number on the computer.
Students who followed Su Chen's official WeChat account could rent one extra book that time—a little perk that let them take home five books.
As soon as the good news broke, students spread it by word of mouth.
On top of that, Su Chen had been all the rage on University of International Business and Economics' BBS these past two days.
Whether they were boys or girls, they all desperately wanted to meet Su Chen.
So by ten that morning, the bookstore was packed with students.
They were all lined up to register, pay the membership fee, and rent books.
The line stretched all the way to the cafeteria.
It was a long, winding queue.
For students, this rental policy was simply too good a deal to pass up!
"Brother Su is so generous! He's started renting books~~ This is awesome! Now I can read all the reference books I need without spending a fortune~~"
"Those reference books cost dozens of yuan each. After exams, they're no use to you anymore. It's a shame to throw them away, but selling them only gets you scrap-paper money."
"This book-rental service is just too great."
"And if you stop renting, you can get your membership fee back in full!"
"Perfect~~"
Especially when students heard that Su Chen
