Chapter 186: He’s Here to Pick You Up After Class
Chapter 186: He’s Here to Pick You Up After Class
Over the course of a semester, Jiang Qin spent his time building the entire framework from Zhihu to group buying. He paved the way for all directions of development, making future upgrades and expansion merely a matter of time.
However, a critical issue remained unresolved for him personally.
Exam week was looming.
As a student, this was a hurdle he inevitably had to clear.
At half-past two in the afternoon, the subject teacher began to highlight key points. Jiang Qin had specifically bought an expensive pen to support the teachers efforts, paying full attention in class, meticulous and diligent a stark contrast to his previous self.
Old Jiang, thats a fancy pen you have there, with a little cat that pops in and out, huh? Zhou Chao commented, unable to resist praising the flashy pen in Jiang Qins hand.
Of course its fancy. Its the most expensive one in the college store, Jiang Qin boasted.
Isnt that a bit too feminine? Maybe itd be more suitable for a girl, Cao Guangyu joined in, taking a glance, Typical of a poor student to have expensive stationery. No matter how good the pen, it wont help if youre not willing to study.
Jiang Qin felt uncomfortable upon hearing this, his eyebrows knitting in annoyance. You can mock me all you want, but why the rhyming? (lost in translation)
Sorry, couldnt help my talent spilling out, Cao Guangyu retorted arrogantly.
Jiang Qin yawned, How about this? After class, we head straight to the study room. Same as before, whoever leaves first is a dog.
Zhou Chao was startled, quickly waving his hands, Come on, Jiang, last time we studied all afternoon in the study room, my brain was overloaded with all that knowledge, couldnt sleep at night.
That wasnt insomnia, that was you sleeping too much in the study room and not being able to sleep at night, Jiang Qin corrected him.
Really? Zhou Chao realized suddenly.
Ren Ziqiang put down his pen and joined the conversation, I think studying really needs supervision. In high school, my family would study with me, and I was really efficient. Now that no ones watching, I dont even know how to study anymore.
Cao Guangyu spoke softly, Its the difference between being willing and unwilling. Take Old Jiang for example, if hes willing to study, he could even do it in Feng Nanshus bed. If hes unwilling, not even the study room can save him.
Jiang Qin nodded, Well said, but lets not use me as an example next time.
Im speaking the truth.
Stop talking nonsense, get out!
Jiang Qin leaned back, toying with the pen cap between his thumb and forefinger, feeling humiliated.
In fact, Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao, and Ren Ziqiang were different from him.
Although these three were either lost in the warmth of love or the comfort of their beds, they still had brains fresh from the college entrance exam. As long as they felt the urgency, it was easy for them to get into a study mode.
But Jiang Qin was different. His brain had been away from studying for over a decade.
He was good at business and making money, but when faced with studying, he always felt clueless about where to start.
I guess Ill have to ask the little rich lady for tutoring, Jiang Qin muttered to himself.
Cao Guangyu immediately interjected, Ive given you this advice before, but you didnt listen.
Old Cao, can you make money by talking? Youve been talking a lot today. Are you planning to repay the 500 yuan you borrowed from me for Christmas in advance?
Cao Guangyu gritted his teeth, yielding to the power of money.
Jiang Qin sneered and remained silent, bringing some peace to the world. So, he sat quietly until the end of class and then headed straight to Class 4s classroom.
Due to the end-of-term activities, Class 4s dismissal time was delayed. The instructor, Xue Hongying, a woman in her thirties with short hair and a gentle but slow-speaking manner, took over the last few minutes to discuss the reporting and review of extra credit items for end-of-term activities.
Jiang Qin was not in a hurry. He leaned against the back door, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on Feng Nanshu.
While he was looking in, some people in Class 4 noticed Jiang Qin, leading to a ripple effect of people turning their heads to look back.
After Jiang Qins group buying went online, his reputation in the school had risen significantly. Coupled with his low attendance rate, he was now seen as a capable yet mysterious figure.
Of course, everyone in Class 4 knew who he was waiting for, especially the boys, who couldnt help feeling a bit sour about it.
Dammit, hes even wearing matching couples outfits. It would be great if a thunderbolt could strike him down!
Feng Nanshu, do you miss Jiang Qin? Fan Shuling quietly asked, eyes on the blackboard.
Yes. Feng Nanshu nodded without hesitation.
Then Ill tell you a secret. Hes here to pick you up after class, standing right at the back door.
Hearing this, the little rich lady, Feng Nanshu, turned her head and, upon seeing Jiang Qin, squinted her eyes and coldly yet cutely gestured a scissor hand.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Qin couldnt help but smile.
He really came. Is this the first time Jiang Qin has waited for you after class? Gao Wenhui whispered.
Feng Nanshu turned to Gao Wenhui, Not the first time, its the third.
Huh? Doesnt seem like it. Joint classes dont count.
Still, its three times.
Gao Wenhui decided not to argue whether it was two or three times with Feng Nanshu. Perhaps for her, each time Jiang Qin picked her up after class was precious, and she surely remembered it clearer than anyone else.
However, she hadnt skipped any classes, so how could there have been two times she wasnt aware of? What a loss.
When Class 4s class ended, Feng Nanshu handed her books to Gao Wenhui and ran towards the back door to meet Jiang Qin.
Little rich lady, tutor me, please. Im not asking for much, just to be in the top ten in our major. Are you confident?
Feng Nanshu was silent for a moment, Jiang Qin, I dont think Im confident at all.
Jiang Qin felt a bit suffocated, Your serious expression is hurting me
Then Ill tutor you, but you have to listen carefully and not fall asleep halfway.
Okay, Ill give you that. Lets go grab some food first, then to the study room.
Big brother, hold my hand.
Jiang Qin took a deep breath, gave up resisting, and gently clasped her small hand in his, turning to walk outside.
However, they had only taken a few steps when suddenly a voice from behind called out to them.
Nanshu, you opened a milk tea shop in school, right? There are many extra credits for college student entrepreneurs. Do you have time to come over and sign a form?
Xue Hongying, the Class 4 instructor, was standing at the door and called out Feng Nanshus name.
Oh yes, and your boyfriend, bring him along too.
Xue Hongying knew that Feng Nanshus social skills were limited. The milk tea shop, rather than being run by her, was more like something Jiang Qin had opened for her, so it might be more efficient to discuss some matters with Jiang Qin.
The title of a college student entrepreneur was highly valued, and since her class had one, she intended to manage it well. Including it in the end-of-term report would be greatly beneficial for her too.
Jiang Qin, the teacher said good friends should come along too, Feng Nanshu said emotionlessly.
Teacher Xue is truly discerning.
Jiang Qin sighed, feeling like his path was being completely walked by the little rich lady.
When the two arrived at the academic affairs office, Xue Hongying handed Feng Nanshu a form. Besides basic information, there were many checkboxes to tick if applicable, and to ignore if not.
Since the progress and scale of college student entrepreneurship projects varied, some credits could be awarded while others couldnt.
At Linchuan University, some cunning students would write up a project proposal, submit a PowerPoint presentation, and barely scrape through for basic credits.
But a milk tea shop with a physical presence and revenue was definitely different from those types of projects.
While Feng Nanshu was filling out the form, Xue Hongying turned to Jiang Qin to inquire about some additional information, some mandated by the school and others out of personal curiosity.
Jiang Qin, were you and Nanshu high school classmates?
Yes, but not in the same class. Our relationship was pretty much the same as it is now.
Xue Hongying couldnt help but lower her voice, Just a bit of harmless gossip, were you two together in high school, or did it start in college? Who pursued whom?
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes nonchalantly, My revision is going well; Im confident of ranking in the top ten of the year.
Whos asking about that? This isnt high school, and teachers dont care about your dating life, just curious.
Right, advanced mathematics is a subject I struggle with.
Xue Hongying realized this student was dodging her questions, Really no fun.
While they were talking, Feng Nanshu finished filling out the form. Xue Hongying took a look at it and then handed it to Jiang Qin to see if anything needed to be added.
Hmm?
Jiang Qin scanned the form, his expression suddenly turning solemn, the smile on his face fading into confusion.
The form for college student entrepreneurship credits included more than just reportable items; it also had a section for Feng Nanshus basic information, including personal and family details.
But
Why was the mothers section left blank?
Jiang Qin felt bewildered after reading it, his mind swirling with thoughts.
Father and mother such basic family information couldnt possibly be overlooked. Even if it was missed inadvertently, its unlikely that only the fathers details would be filled in, leaving out the mothers.
Whats the matter? Is there a problem?
No problem, thats the basic situation. Thank you, teacher.
Jiang Qin handed back the form nonchalantly, turning to look at Feng Nanshu. The sunlight streaming through the window lattice bathed her in a glow that made her seem ethereal and pure.
The little rich lady raised the cat-head pen, blocking his gaze, This pen is cute.
It was actually bought for you.
Jiang Qins expression returned to normal, I went to the supermarket to buy a pen and thought you would like this one. I wouldnt have spent this kind of money otherwise. Jiang Zhihua really ripped me off, her pricing must have included a personal grudge.
Feng Nanshu seemed a bit dumbfounded, as it didnt sound like something Jiang Qin would typically say.
Seeing this, Xue Hongying couldnt help but click her tongue, thinking how even buying a pen was tailored to her liking, and yet he pretended to be all about studying what a sly move!
AN: Ive noticed everyone is pretty honest. As soon as we hit the top thirty in the monthly ticket ranking, no one votes anymore. Really cunning!
