Chapter Index

    It was a sunny Thursday afternoon with clear skies as far as the eye could see.

    Jiang Qin took a bus to Shengshi and, under the guidance of the staff, went to the sample room to carefully look at their trophy samples, finally choosing a trophy design with angel wings folded and intertwined.

    Both goddesses and angels are used to describe beauty. The concept of a goddess cannot be specifically described, but a pair of pure white wings often symbolizes an angel.

    Jiang Qin felt that if he were the school beauty, he would definitely like this angel wing design. It may not be the prettiest, but it would at least be eye-catching.

    “Can it be made in white?”

    “White? We usually make them in gold. I’ve never seen a white trophy before.”

    “Ask if it can be done. The kind of white with a glossy sheen that looks very pure and innocent.”

    The staff member turned and went to the workshop to inquire and finally found out that the answer was yes.

    Jiang Qin felt that gold trophies were too ordinary. Not only did they look cheap, but the color was also prone to chipping. Chipped wings were worse than a featherless chicken. But white was different. School beauties and goddesses inherently had a sense of holiness, and pure white matched the theme perfectly.

    Most importantly, a pure white trophy with a pure black base was not vulgar and very eye-catching.

    As for the certificates, they were all very similar. The most common was a red leather binder with an inner core. Another type was a transparent acrylic case with an inner core.

    Jiang Qin chose the second one because transparency always appeared more high-end.

    The layout of the content was also simple. The Zhihu logo and Xitian logo were juxtaposed, with the names of the Linchuan University campus belle and the winners below.

    For this type of certificate, you absolutely cannot write “Campus Belle Competition First Place”, “Campus Belle Competition Second Place”, etc. Because girls never want to admit defeat when it comes to appearance. So the top five are all written as “Campus Belle” with no specific ranking distinction. The girls who receive them can also be happier. Most importantly, when showing it to others, there is no psychological burden.

    “Damn, I’m so considerate. Am I going to be behind a dog?”

    Jiang Qin secretly muttered to himself, then followed the staff to another sample room to look at their work badge and chest badge styles.

    Although Entrepreneurship Base 208 was gradually taking shape, it was still necessary to put effort into team cohesion. To let everyone subconsciously form a team consensus, work badges and chest badges were essential.

    With these badges, everyone would subconsciously have a sense of being bound together. The so-called couple and parent-child outfits follow the same principle.

    Unity leads to cohesion.

    “The work badge styles are all here. The chest badges are on the far right.” The staff member pointed to both sides with his hand.

    Jiang Qin looked carefully for a while. “I want the fifth one in the second row for the work badge and the last one in the first row for the chest badge.”

    “Okay.”

    The staff member swiftly wrote two lines in his notebook, recording the item numbers.

    However, when leaving the sample room, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment. He stood in front of the shelves, staring at the sample work badges in a daze, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

    “What’s wrong, Mr. Jiang? Is there anything you’re unsatisfied with? We haven’t placed the order yet, so you can freely change it.”

    Jiang Qin pursed the corner of his mouth and, after pondering for a while, said, “Make one more set. Write ‘Boss Lady’ for the position and ‘Feng Nanshu’ for the name. Include the work badge, chest badge, and certificate.”

    “Boss lady? That’s not a proper position, right?” The staff member was a bit surprised.

    “Boss lady is a hidden position. Although not every company has one, every company has one. And she has a lot of power. Does your family have one?”

    “Yes, we do. But Mr. Jiang, since there’s a boss lady, do you also want a set of identity badges for the boss?”

    “…”

    Jiang Qin’s eyes suddenly turned cold, causing the staff member to involuntarily stop smiling. “People in relationships don’t talk about understanding, do they? Matching everything will only harm you!”

    “I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang. I spoke too much.”

    “It’s fine. Don’t be nervous. I’m just a bit sensitive about matching. Do you have a girlfriend, young man?” Jiang Qin changed to a gentler tone.

    The staff member shook his head. “Currently single. Work has been very busy lately, so I haven’t had time to look.”

    “Work saved you. You should be grateful to your boss.” Jiang Qin’s words started to sound like idle gossip.

    “Yes…”

    “Can you make a set of boss lady certificates for me first?”

    “We can, but it will probably take two hours. Can you wait?”

    “You guys make it first. I’ll come back to pick it up in two hours.”

    After finalizing everything, Jiang Qin went to a nearby mall to select gifts for the top-ranking participants in the campus belle competition.

    The certificates and trophies didn’t reflect the rankings, but the gifts definitely had to be divided into high, medium, and low grades. Otherwise, everyone’s efforts in voting for so long and fighting for first place would have no practical significance.

    Jiang Qin bought a Polaroid camera for the first-place winner. This gadget was small, fashionable, and most importantly, could take photos, making it a very fitting prize for a campus belle competition. But when he thought that the first place might be Chu Siqi, Jiang Qin always felt a strange sensation in his heart.

    Buying her a gift? Gosh, it was even more painful than throwing away money.

    But for the sake of market value, he’d just have to endure it. Anyway, he wouldn’t be personally presenting the award.

    The second-place prize was an MP3 player with video functionality. It was small and exquisite, still considered a fashionable item in 2008.

    The third-place prize was also an MP3 player, but without built-in video functionality. It was only the size of a mahjong tile, with a circle of function buttons in the middle, and was a hundred yuan cheaper than the one with video functionality.

    In addition, Jiang Qin also bought a bunch of headphones, bookends, and hardcover notebooks as participation and consolation prizes.

    After buying the prizes, Jiang Qin returned to Shengshi Advertising. A complete set of boss lady certificates, including a chest badge, work badge, and acrylic certificate, had already been made and were neatly placed on the table, looking very formal.

    Shengshi Advertising truly lived up to its reputation as a large advertising factory. With advanced machines and superb craftsmanship, the engraved lettering on the metal advertising signs was natural and smooth.

    “Do you have gift packaging boxes?”

    “Yes, we have all kinds. I’ll go get a few for you to choose from.”

    The staff member went into the warehouse and quickly returned with a large pile of packaging boxes, as well as some raffia to fill the gift boxes.

    Jiang Qin put the work badge, chest badge, and certificate inside and watched as the staff member skillfully tied a pink ribbon into a butterfly knot. His expression gradually turned strange.

    It was just a gift. It wouldn’t change the nature of their friendship, right?

    Forget it. It’s better not to give it for now. It would be bad if the little rich girl developed thoughts she shouldn’t have.

    Although she was simple and naive, completely clueless about love, she had a terrifying advisor behind her, Gao Wenhui. That person was also a terrorist that couldn’t be ignored.
