Packing up their textbooks and leaving the study room, the students of Room 302 were all in high spirits.
Waking up to a ready al was simply delightful; even the guilt of wasting half a day without learning anything had vanished.
Especially Zhou Chao, who was sound asleep before being suddenly treated to a al, and that too on soone elses di. It felt like a dream, and who wouldnt be excited?
If the mind was empty, so be it. Filling the stomach was the priority.
After all, how could one study without energy from food?
And Jiang, he was damn incredible. Even Zhuang Chen wanted to treat him to a al, practically begging him to co. It was outrageous.
Studying really is exhausting. Lets go back and sleep right after eating.
Jiang Qin, unfazed and not out of breath, packed his textbooks. No sooner had he left the study room than his phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
He casually pushed the textbooks behind him, as instinctively as passing docunts to Wei Lanlan, and then took out his phone to answer it. Lu Xueis voice imdiately ca through.
Boss, where are you now?
Hmm? How did you know Ive been diligently studying in the study room since this afternoon and just finished?
Lu Xuei was montarily stunned, then lowered her voice, You dare to tell such an outrageous lie. Is the boss lady right next to you?
Jiang Qin was displeased with her reaction, Am I not fit to study in the study room? If you have sothing to say, say it quickly. Dont disturb my precious study ti.
Well, the gifts we ordered earlier have arrived, Lu Xuei said seriously.
What gifts?
The calendars, umbrellas, coasters, and so on. Dont you rember?
Jiang Qin exclaid in realization, My brain was occupied with knowledge just now and didnt switch gears in ti. Did you check the items? Hows the quality?
Lu Xuei humd, Ive checked them. The defective products have been sorted out. You can trust my work.
Good. Pick two sets and send them to Director Sun of the Polytechnic University and Director Li of the Teachers College.
Alright, boss.
Jiang Qin had ordered a batch of year-end gifts for Christmas, including calendars, umbrellas, lighters, and other handy items, all printed with the logos of Xi Tian, Zhihu, and Group Buying, along with their promotional images.
This was not just for the sake of it but to maintain a presence everywhere.
For instance, Sun Chunming of the Polytechnic University and Li Hua of the Teachers College were key figures for future promotions.
Jiang Qins smart mind had left a deep impression on them during the last visit, but he feared they would soon forget without a reminder.
Sending a calendar would keep them glancing at it now and then, building a sense of familiarity for when the ti cos for promotion.
If the calendars were not used, the coasters and umbrellas surely would be. And if not them, then the lighters.
He rembered that Sun Chunming and Li Hua were both heavy smokers. Although they didnt smoke during the educational visit, their nicotine-stained fingers didnt lie.
This was all about the details.
Just as Jiang Qin was about to hang up after giving instructions, he rembered sothing else.
Oh, Xuei, theres another thing. Order two life-sized standees from Shengshi (the printing/advertising company). Ill send you the details via text shortly.
Okay.
Make sure the designs are done tonight, and ask Shengshi to expedite the production. I need them in two days, Jiang Qin added, unable to help himself.
Lu Xuei sounded surprised, Thats very urgent. Im not sure if they can make it.
If not, just pay extra. I dont believe theres anything that cant be done with more money. This is very important, ensure the timing. The finished billboards dont need to be sent to the school, send them directly to Longkai International Hotel, and coordinate with their front desk in advance.
Alright, Ill call the factory manager right now.
After hanging up, Jiang Qin found everyone around him looking at him, quietly waiting for his call to end.
The people from Room 302 acted normally. They were used to hearing Jiang Qin giving orders over the phone in the dormitory and were accustod to it by now.
But for the girls from the Finance Departnt who hadnt experienced this before, their eyes held a mix of admiration and apprehension, not wanting to disturb his big business, so they all remained as quiet as mice.
This director and that director, spending money here and there, it was all very much in Jiangs style. To the girls who had never left their ivory towers, all this was enough to make their heads spin.
Lets go, dont just stand there. Hurry up and lets eat.
Jiang Qin pocketed his phone and waved his hand to the group, striding ahead. Seeing this, the girls from the Finance Departnt quickly followed.
At this mont, Zhuang Chen was trailing behind, feeling sowhat uneasy.
He liked Jian Chun, so he often hung out with the girls from her dorm. But every ti they went out, it was the girls who took the lead, and he never commanded anyone to follow him. He always thought this behavior was gentlemanly, but now he couldnt help feeling envious of Jiang Qins assertive deanor.
Chun Chun, put your books in your bag first. I can carry them for you.
Zhuang Chen temporarily set aside his thoughts and caught up with Jian Chun, who was ahead with her bag.
My books are already in the bag. This isnt mine, its Jiang Qins.
Jian Chun, holding an advanced mathematics textbook, continued walking and spoke softly.
Why do you have his book?
Zhuang Chen was a bit confused.
He handed it back when he was on the phone. I was right behind him, so I just took it.
Jian Chun recounted the scene.
Then why dont you give it back to him now that hes done with the call?
Lets give it back to him at the restaurant. Its not that heavy.
Nanshan Restaurant, located directly opposite the school gate on the pedestrian street, was more upscale than Shiwei Tian, and the prices were higher, but no one could definitively say which had the better taste.
Those who dined here sought the ambiance of the private rooms, ideal for birthdays and gatherings. For value for money, however, most still preferred Shiwei Tian.
After everyone was seated and started ordering, Jian Chun returned the book to Jiang Qin, leaving him utterly bewildered.
Damn, I didnt even realize the book was missing the entire way. In fact, I completely forgot about its existence.
I should have just left it in the factory, right?
Dont worry, from now on, the star student will never abandon you again.
Jiang Qin patted his advanced math textbook, grinning as if appeasing the book would prevent him from failing.
Then, the steaming dishes were served, and the al brought both joy and sorrow.
Zhou Chao was the happiest, reveling in the free al. Cao Guangyu and Ren Ziqiang followed in excitent, while the most uncomfortable one was Zhuang Chen.
He couldnt understand.
Jian Chun wouldnt even carry her own book, so why was she willing to carry Jiang Qins?
What exactly went wrong?
Of course, he had a vague idea in his mind, but it was sothing he couldnt bring himself to believe.
An hour later, with Zhou Chaos perfect cleanup, all the plates on the table were empty.
Jiang Qin called for everyone to leave, and the group started to disperse. The girls from the Finance Departnt dormitory were nearest to the gate, so after they left, only the four guys from Room 302 and Zhuang Chen remained.
Zhuang Chen hesitated several tis but didnt speak until Zhou Chao and the others went to the supermarket to buy cola. Thats when he finally stopped Jiang Qin.
On the day of the Winter Solstice, Jian Chun asked to bring dumplings to you. I felt uncomfortable about it, so I ate them myself.
Hmm, its okay, Jiang Qin responded indifferently.
Zhuang Chen fell silent for a while, then tentatively asked, You wont tell Jian Chun about this, will you?
Forget it, I dont have ti to play these romantic drama gas with you.
What kind of ga?
Jiang Qin waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to get involved in such matters. Do you have anything else to say? Hurry up. Zhou and the others shop really fast. Last ti, the store owner thought Zhou was shoplifting and chased him all the way to the dormitory.
Zhuang Chen took a deep breath, Jiang Qin, can you can you stop appearing in front of Jian Chun?
?
I really dont want Jian Chun to fall for you. You wouldnt want that either, right?
Jiang Qin was taken aback, Im already skipping half my classes. Where do you expect to go? To heaven?
Zhuang Chen paused, realizing that Jiang Qin didnt appear that often after all, But, but
Stop it. A grown man whining like this Let tell you straight, Im not interested in dating. Your worries are unnecessary.
I know, but Jian Chun ntions you more and more, and shes not as focused when she talks to .
Jiang Qin looked at him sowhat speechlessly, Why dont you try changing your QQ profile picture to mine?
Zhuang Chens face turned red with embarrassnt, Im serious!
I know youre serious. But what can I do? Why dont you ask Jian Chun what she thinks is so great about , and Ill change!
I cant just ask her directly
Jiang Qin sighed, Look, Zhuang, I actually have so fondness for you. Otherwise, I wouldnt bother talking so much nonsense with you. My last piece of advice to you: its better to let go of sand that cant be grasped.
Zhuang Chens mouth twisted bitterly, Jian Chun and I are neighbors. We grew up together, went to the sa kindergarten, primary school, middle school, high school, and now university. I dont know when I started liking her, but its been too long, too deep.
Whats that got to do with ?
Jiang Qin, do you really want to beco enemies? Im not sure what terrible things I might do!
Jiang Qin suddenly widened his eyes, a hint of fear in his gaze.
Seeing this reaction, Zhuang Chen couldnt help feeling a bit triumphant. It seed that a harder approach did have so effect.
Shit, did I forget my textbook in the restaurant?!
??????
Watching Jiang Qin dash out, Zhuang Chen remained silent for a long ti, eventually overwheld with discomfort.
Jiang Qin clearly didnt care about his threats, probably didnt even listen seriously. This was a huge blow to his pride.
