Chapter Index

    Guo Zihang is quite an interesting person. Although he’s a bit of a coward, he also has a heart that wants to show off.

    After taking a lap around the Kuajiang Bridge, Guo Zihang kept urging Jiang Qin: “Godfather, drive to the school, drive to the school, to the female dorms!”

    But in the end, Jiang Qin stopped at the school gate of University of Science and Technology and told Guo Zihang with a heavy heart: “Borrowing someone else’s car to show off is ultimately not as good as your own piss being yellow. Drink less hot water.”

    “Jiang bro, just let me show off once!” Guo Zihang sincerely pleaded.

    Jiang Qin thought for a moment, then said: “Next month I may come over to promote. If you help me keep an eye on things for a few days, buying a car shouldn’t be a problem.”

    “Buy an Audi?!” Guo Zihang was directly shocked.

    “About the same, a Yadi (electric bike brand).”

    “????”

    At 5:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Qin drove back to Linchuan University.

    Linchuan University has a rule that all private cars from outside are not allowed to enter the school.

    If students need to drive to school, they must first apply. Only after getting an entry permit can they drive inside the school.

    But the campus belle contest and Xitian marketing have been going on for so long. Every time materials are sent over, no matter who is in charge at the scene, they will leave two packs of cigarettes at the security booth as instructed by Jiang Qin. So when Jiang Qin lowered the car window, several security guards, one squeezing his neck, one pretending to sleep, and another who had already walked over to stop him, ended up picking up a cigarette butt on the road in front of him.

    To be honest, this kind of understanding of human relations will not play a major decisive role, but it can show convenience in the details.

    If the security guards had to stop him, then before getting the entry permit, he would have to park outside the school no matter what.

    And the pedestrian street doesn’t allow parking either. He could only park in the Cuizhu Garden parking lot across the street.

    Audi and Bentley are different after all. Without enough face, you can’t put on too impressive of an attitude. They dare to stop BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi) for real.

    When he reached the intersection of the male dormitory area, Jiang Qin casually parked the car on the side of the road where it wasn’t in the way, then turned and went upstairs to the dorm.

    “Damn, is this guy really going to ask you to fight? We’re already in college, this is too much. Isn’t he afraid of being expelled?”

    “Fighting will definitely lead to expulsion. As long as you fight back, you’re definitely done for. But you can’t just stand there and get beaten either. Old Cao, I suggest you don’t go.”

    “We could also secretly go and see. If there are a lot of people, we won’t show up. If there are few people, we… also won’t show up.”

    As soon as Jiang Qin entered the door, he heard the three people in the dorm talking. So he pushed the door open and found Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao surrounding Cao Guangyu’s computer screen: “What are you doing? Watching my Brother Cao strike back online again?”

    “Jiang bro, someone wants to strike Old Cao for real this time. Someone with a three-character ID is going to confront him.” Ren Ziqiang had an invincible fast mouth and was also concise.

    After hearing this, Jiang Qin was very surprised: “Well, well, what kind of post did Old Cao write that angered both humans and gods?”

    “I just started a new post saying my girlfriend crushed the number one campus belle, that’s all. By the way, Old Jiang, can you check who this three-character ID is for me?”

    “That would be violating user privacy and is illegal.”

    Cao Guangyu actually also knew about this privacy thing, but he was still scared shitless in his heart: “Although I’m an unsophisticated rich second generation, my fighting power is trash. We’re already in college, how can there still be people so unreasonable?”

    “You didn’t write your dorm room number in your little bragging essay, did you?” Jiang Qin felt that if Brother Cao got too hyped up, he really might have.

    “No way, even with a decade of cerebral thrombosis I wouldn’t do that. But I used my real name to show off.”

    “Are you stupid?”

    “What’s the point of showing off if you don’t use your real name? Was I supposed to say my name is Zeng A’niu?”

    “Cao Changyu, Cao Guangning, Cao Changning, if all else fails you could use Cao Cao, that would still be safer than using your real name. Don’t you know why I do anonymous forums?”

    Cao Guangyu puffed out his chest: “Although my post has some fictional elements, most of it is true. I have a clear conscience.”

    “Old Cao, stop deceiving yourself. In your post, only the name is true. Everything else is mine.”

    “…”

    Jiang Qin turned around and opened his computer: “Although I can’t invade someone’s privacy, I can help you check his post history. Let’s see what kind of temper this person has. What do you think?”

    “That works too. Thanks Jiang bro, I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow morning since there’s no class!” Cao Guangyu cupped his hands in thanks.

    Afterwards, Ren Ziqiang, Zhou Chao and Cao Guangyu all gathered around, watching Jiang Qin enter the admin backend, search for the three-character ID, enter this person’s post history, and then all four of them fell silent.

    [“xx you xx, you xx xx ah, you xx don’t know how to write then hurry up and xx, disgusting me to death!”]

    [“Stealing someone else’s boyfriend and still acting pitiful, you xx ah? Have you no shame?”]

    [“x, yesterday I encountered an xx, didn’t know to slow down when driving, splashing water all over me, truly xxxx.”]

    [“Which xx poured water on the cafeteria chairs, how are people supposed to eat? This kind of person is simply xxxx!”]

    “…”

    Jiang Qin’s hand holding the mouse was trembling. Even his 38-year-old soul couldn’t help being shocked: “Old Cao, my suggestion is don’t go.”

    “Cao bro, I also suggest you endure for a moment…” Ren Ziqiang couldn’t help but pause.

    Cao Guangyu looked at him with a pale face: “Calm seas and clear skies?”

    Ren Ziqiang shook his head: “Endure for a moment to save a dog’s life.”

    “…”

    Early the next morning, Finance Class 3 had no class.

    As soon as Jiang Qin woke up, he received a call from Cao Xinyue saying that Professor Yan was back and wanted him to come say hello.

    Jiang Qin’s entrepreneurial start was already very smooth. If you had to say who he should thank the most, it would definitely have to be Professor Yan.

    Because after all, the people in the team were all getting paid and doing things within their job duties, so there was no need to be too thankful. But Professor Yan had never even met him, yet had been helping him selflessly. It would be false to say he wasn’t grateful.

    Jiang Qin felt that for the first time visiting, he should bring something. But Cao Xinyue specifically told him not to, which was very troubling.

    If you don’t bring something, it doesn’t seem right. But if you do bring something, you don’t know how eccentric Professor Yan actually is. This kind of multiple choice question is even harder than advanced mathematics.

    Oh right, fruit.

    Fruit doesn’t count as a gift, right?

    Jiang Qin remembered that yesterday, in order to thank Wu Caifeng, he bought some high-quality fruits, including mangosteen and such. Now they finally came in handy.

    Jiang Qin returned to his car, opened the trunk, and took a bag of fruit to the general office of the entrepreneurship base.

    Professor Yan wasn’t tall, his shoulders sagging a bit. Although he had a vigorous spirit, his overall image wasn’t imposing. To put it bluntly, he indeed looked like a little old man. He was not yet seventy this year, but his condition was more weathered than his actual age.

    “Sit.”

    “Have some tea.”

    Professor Yan had already poured him tea, his attitude not lofty, more like an elder in the family.

    Seeing this, Jiang Qin was rarely serious for once, his back straight as a ramrod, thinking the old professor was about to give him some profound guidance. But the old professor opened his mouth and asked, how do you get this forum title?

    How to put it, the old man’s temper was indeed eccentric, but not the kind of inflexible old scholar. Instead, he had a bit of a dry sense of humor.

    The two chatted for a long time, but the topic had nothing to do with entrepreneurship. Instead, they talked more about university life.

    Jiang Qin brought up the current problems with the forum several times to ask him, but the old professor always deliberately avoided it, as if he was very reluctant to interfere in other people’s affairs.

    Finally, the old professor put down the teapot, turning the spout towards the door. Jiang Qin knew the old professor was going to shoo him away.

    “Professor, I still have class in the afternoon, so I’ll leave first.” Jiang Qin stood up to say goodbye.

    Professor Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke: “Jiang Qin, you must be very puzzled. We have never even met. Why would I help you so much, right?”

    “Indeed very puzzled. Can the professor give an answer?” Jiang Qin spoke honestly.

    “Back then, I had a student. She was very talented and like you, dared to work hard and do things decisively. But later she trusted my advice wrongly and lost a lot, and still hasn’t recovered. The path you two are taking is similar. When I saw your project book, it was like seeing her project.”

    “So that’s how it is.” Jiang Qin understood.

    “Do a good job. Your success may inspire many people.”

    After hearing about the old professor’s past, Jiang Qin said goodbye again and walked out of the general office. Then he stopped in the hallway, his gaze gradually becoming a bit deep.

    The development path was similar to his own, lost a lot and couldn’t recover…

    Damn, don’t look in the mirror. Amitabha, hallelujah!

    Leaving the entrepreneurship base, Jiang Qin drove to the female dormitory of the School of Finance, casually parked the Audi at the entrance, and took out his phone.

    “Feng Nanshu, come out for a stroll!”

    “I’ll be right there.”

    “There’s an Audi parked downstairs. Just get in, it’s black.”

    After a while, a beautiful figure ran out from the female dormitory building of the School of Finance. She wore a fake two-piece uniform-style hoodie and white pants, youthful and innocent to the point of being full of spirit. In this bleak early autumn, she was so pretty it made people lose their senses.

    But perhaps because she had been a young lady for too long, Feng Nanshu habitually went around the rear of the car, then pulled open the back door and obediently sat in. Although her face was expressionless, a hint of joy could be seen.

    “…”

    Jiang Qin pursed the corner of his mouth, pretending to be very casual as he spoke: “It’s a bit cold in the back. The front is fine.”

    Feng Nanshu thought for a bit, then opened the door and got out, and opened the passenger door.

    Jiang Qin watched as she sat in, her perky round little butt touching the seat. His chest suddenly started to feel a bit tight, feeling a kind of suffocating sensation.

    He knew this should be a physiological reaction created by the shadows of his previous life.

    In the end, Feng Nanshu sat in the passenger seat, looking at him with clear eyes, her cherry red lips pursed together, looking especially lively.

    Who would have thought…

    Who would have thought the person who finally sat in my passenger seat would be her?!

    Could it be… this is fate?!

    Jiang Qin pretended as if it was real, thinking that destiny is really a magical thing.

    “Best friend, please fasten your seat belt.”

    “Okay.”

    Feng Nanshu pulled down the seat belt, inserted it into the buckle, her eyes clear and cold, sitting obediently.
