Chapter 102: This House Won’t Survive Without Me!

After getting the full set of boss lady certificates, Jiang Qin returned to his Linchuan University dorm and placed the items on his bedside table, planning to find a suitable opportunity to give them to her later.

Meanwhile, Shengshi was urgently producing materials during this time to cooperate with Jiang Qin’s side for the final closing battle.

Early Saturday morning, just as the sun rose, a white truck swayed into the school gate, transporting all the award ceremony materials as well as the customized trophies and certificates.

Jiang Qin had already submitted an application to the school beforehand, allowing him to use the training field from 1:00 to 2:00 pm to hold this award ceremony, so he brought Feng Nanshu to the venue.

The two sat on the rubber track, watching the busy figures of the staff while sipping Xitian milk tea, one lazy and casual, the other quiet and cold.

Autumn maple leaves were blown onto the field by the south wind through the railings, slowly falling and covering the ground in a golden yellow.

Jiang Qin split open a big red pomegranate of the season and gave half to the little rich girl.

“Do you want the bigger half or the smaller half?”

“Jiang Qin, I want the kind with individual seeds.”

“…”

Jiang Qin clicked his tongue, thinking the little rich girl was foolishly unaware. Then he reached out to start digging out the seeds. After digging for a bit, Wei Lanlan, who was in charge of employee recruitment, ran in from the field entrance. She had a stack of registration forms in her arms, all filled with candidates applying to be Jiang Qin’s secretary.

Among them were five male candidates and five female candidates, all carefully selected by her.

The men were mainly chosen for their strong business skills. With a pen they could pacify the world, on horseback they could determine the universe.

The women were mainly chosen for their beauty, either with a good figure or a pretty face.

“Boss, these are ten secretary candidates. Take a look and pick. I’ve already done an initial screening before. These all meet the requirements relatively well.”

Jiang Qin took the forms and started to carefully review them.

To be honest, for a secretary he still wanted someone capable. Not necessarily outstanding, but at least neat and thorough, and down-to-earth and hardworking. It wouldn’t be good if they came for a part-time job, got bored after half a day and decided to leave.

Therefore, he didn’t want any freshmen.

Freshmen hadn’t settled in yet. If they wanted to find a part-time job, it was basically because they felt it was novel and wanted to experience working part-time, or they felt earning some money to find a partner was good since they were afraid their living expenses wouldn’t be enough.

But if they still wanted a part-time job in their sophomore or junior year, and had part-time experience as a freshman, then either they really lacked money or they really wanted to train themselves well.

“Hey beauty, help us kick the ball over!”

“Fuck, so pretty. Which department’s goddess is this?”

“Beauty, give me your QQ number. Let’s have dinner together tonight!”

Jiang Qin was flipping through the registration forms when he heard the voices. He immediately turned his head to look and saw a few guys playing soccer on the field, laughing and shouting at Feng Nanshu who was sitting by the side of the road.

He frowned and was about to go over and scold them, but unexpectedly, Feng Nanshu stood up.

The little rich girl, with the attitude of getting along well with others, hearing someone seeking help, even if she had social anxiety, she would likely want to help. So she tottered over to where the rolling ball was and kicked it out with one foot. She didn’t expect to directly kick it several meters high and out of the field’s protective railings.

“…”

“…”

The few college students’ smiles disappeared. They were silent for a moment, then chased after the direction the soccer ball flew.

Jiang Qin felt his scalp go numb. He pretended not to see and turned his head to continue flipping through the registration forms, but found the stack of forms in his hand was grabbed by Wei Lanlan.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Qin was a bit puzzled.

Wei Lanlan pulled the forms back with a nervous look, removed all the girls from them, and handed them back again, “It’s nothing. I suddenly remembered my selection wasn’t very rigorous and a few unqualified ones slipped in. It’s fine now. They’re all very suitable for you.”

“…”

Jiang Qin glanced at the five forms left in his hand, thinking these are all fucking guys. It’s not a government institution. Which male boss would like to use a male secretary?

We’re not being sexist, but in terms of meticulousness and patience, girls are indeed more suitable for the secretary profession than guys.

“Forget it. Let’s talk about the secretary matter later.” Jiang Qin returned the forms to Wei Lanlan.

Wei Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that was close. This company won’t survive without me. The boss would die without me. “Then I’ll go back and look again. I’ll report to you as soon as I have time.”

“Okay, you can return to the office. Oh right, call Dong Wenhao over and have him host the awards ceremony. I won’t show my face.”

“Okay boss.”

Half an hour later, the workers had finished setting up the stage. It really looked quite authentic. The background board designer Pang Hai had clearly made new progress in his work. The design he came up with was simple and generous.

Later, Dong Wenhao also arrived at the scene, holding the award speech written by Shi Miaomiao, and began to familiarize himself with it over and over.

The students who received the notice also began to gather in droves on the school sports field, gradually surrounding the stage until it was packed.

Actually, Jiang Qin didn’t like doing this kind of big event, because no matter what, the school beauty competition was an activity with an entertainment nature. For college students, it was truly not being serious about their studies. But since people had already come, you couldn’t stop them, so you could only let them in one by one.

It was quite funny to say. They had even spontaneously made support signs, looking quite like a fan meeting.

Among them, Fang Xuan in third place had the most fans, because the journalism department was on the main campus, so it was very convenient to join in the excitement.

Next was Chu Siqi.

The law school was on the east campus. Although it was far, there were still many people who came to support her, which also showed that her first place in the school beauty rankings had some gold content.

Then there was Hong Yan in fourth place.

Although she transferred departments, there were still quite a few people in the law department who liked her, and the international trade department knew she was the new goddess, so there were also a lot of people who came to support her.

Next was Liu Yiyi in second place. She also had a lot of fans, but she didn’t look happy when she appeared at the scene.

To be honest, she couldn’t figure it out. The boys in the literature department were not less than those in the law department at all, so how could she possibly lose to Chu Siqi?

Could it be that she really only looked delicate?

Next was Wu Meng from the civil engineering department. To be honest, her appearance was indeed a bit lacking, but she was the darling of all the guys in the civil engineering department, and her strength could not be underestimated.

As the music started, the awards ceremony officially began. Chu Siqi, wearing a white dress, went on stage with a face full of pride.

The number one school beauty. This was an honor she didn’t even get in high school. At that time, the dazzling Feng Nanshu was always an existence she could never reach.

But there were many more college girls than in high school, so the gold content was really quite high.

Hong Yan had an expressionless face, not too excited or too happy, because she was the school beauty in high school and was called that for three years, so she didn’t really care about this title. Therefore, she took the award and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Chu Siqi called out to her.

“Hong Yan, let’s make up.”

Hong Yan smiled slightly, “No need. The dormitory transfer has already been approved. I’ll move to the international trade department dormitory soon, and we’ll never have to see each other again.”

“Even if you leave, I still hope we can make up.”

“We’ve made such a fuss. Do you think it’s possible?”

“It’s possible, because I won’t fight with you over Jiang Qin anymore.” Chu Siqi tried to keep her voice calm.

“Is it because you got first place, saw the vast forest, and felt Jiang Qin wasn’t worth it anymore?”

Chu Siqi’s face turned pale. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, I admit you’re right. With so many people who like me, I don’t need to be hung up on one tree. Besides, he’s too cold to me. When we ran into each other on the train, he wouldn’t even look at me once!”

Hong Yan was silent for a while before speaking, “You should know, I’m not the kind of person who really likes the fake title of school beauty.”

“So what, you think I’m very vain? But if you don’t care, why did you come to receive the award?”

“Well, since you asked, I’ll tell you the truth. I agreed to attend this event just to help Jiang Qin.”

“?”

“Don’t you know? The boss of the Zhihu forum is Jiang Qin. Your number one school beauty title was also given by him.”

Hong Yan’s words fell like a bolt of lightning, directly making Chu Siqi’s eyes widen. Her originally pale face from being retorted turned even paler.

What kind of statement was this? Her school beauty title was bestowed by Jiang Qin? Too far-fetched. How could he have the ability to mobilize an entire school?

“You think I’m a three-year-old child?”

“Go find the host who just presented your award and ask him who Jiang Qin is.” Hong Yan dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

Chu Siqi lifted her dress and ran to the back of the stage to find the host who had just given her the award, “Senior, hello. I have something I want to ask you.”

“What is it?” Dong Wenhao’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

Chu Siqi took a deep breath, “Do you know Jiang Qin?”

“Of course I know him. He’s our boss.”

“…”

A long time later, as the sky gradually darkened, Linchuan University ushered in an autumn rain. Although it wasn’t heavy, it brought a full sense of cold.

Chu Siqi returned from the main campus to the east campus. She pushed open the dormitory door and found that Hong Yan’s bed had been tidied up neat and clean, but she didn’t care at all. Then she sat in her chair, dazed.

During the vacation, in order to run into Jiang Qin by chance, she specially asked Wang Huiru to get the train number from Guo Zihang.

But it was precisely because of that time that Chu Siqi truly understood Jiang Qin not only disliked her, but even had a strong aversion.

She was a girl who cared a lot about face. Since Jiang Qin didn’t like her, why should she persist? Please, with so many people choosing her as the school beauty and so many people liking her, why should she be obsessed with Jiang Qin?

But it was only at this moment that she realized all the honors she was proud of were single-handedly created by that person, and her pride might be completely worthless in his eyes.

“Siqi, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing her pale face, Wang Huiru felt it was strange. Didn’t she go out to receive an award? When she left, she was very excited.

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Hey, do you know? Recently, there are rumors that the forum that gave you the award probably received more than 500,000 yuan in advertising fees, and customers are lined up until the end of the year. And the person running the forum is also in our year, a freshman!”

Chu Siqi let out a bitter laugh and rolled into her quilt.

It turned out that the person who was once within reach had already become so outstanding.

A test?

Was her brain broken? She actually wanted to test such a person…
