Chapter 119: I Want to Be a Lickwolf!
by xennovelThe cafeteria at University of Science and Technology is the most famous among the four major universities. It’s said to have excellent quality and delicious flavors.
Jiang Qin specially had Guo Zihang take him to experience it. The taste was indeed not bad, but saying it had delicious flavors was a bit of an exaggeration.
After taking a bite, he felt the taste at Linchuan University’s cafeteria wasn’t inferior to here at all. This kind of hype was probably something University of Science and Technology came up with to attract students.
By the time they returned from the cafeteria, it was already dark.
There were five people in Guo Zihang’s dorm. Four of them were internet addicts who had gone online since the afternoon and still hadn’t returned.
“Brother Jiang, do you have class tomorrow morning?”
“No.” Jiang Qin sat in Guo Zihang’s chair playing on his phone.
Hearing this, Guo Zihang was delighted, “Then sleep here tonight. Let’s chat!”
“Where I sleep doesn’t matter, but where exactly would I sleep?”
“We have an empty bed in our dorm. I’ll make it up for you and it’ll be ready to use.”
Jiang Qin sized up the empty bed across from him, “Then give me your mattress. My back isn’t good, I can’t sleep on a bare bed frame.”
“No problem, I’ll get it ready for you.” Guo Zihang immediately started tidying up.
Jiang Qin wasn’t too picky. As long as the sheets were clean, it was fine. As for the blanket, it didn’t matter if there was one or not. Back when he was dirt poor, he had even slept on internet cafe chairs. There was nothing he couldn’t make do with. This could be considered reminiscing on hard times.
Seeing Jiang Qin lie down, Guo Zihang directly turned off the lights. Then the two of them laid head to head and started chatting.
“Brother Jiang, do you know why Senior Sister Cui is ignoring me?”
Jiang Qin rubbed his nose, eyes open in the darkness, “Last week when I came, I brought my employee, Fang Xiaoxuan. Senior Sister Cui mistook her for my girlfriend.”
“Just that?” Guo Zihang looked confused.
“Senior Sister Cui probably felt my employee wasn’t good enough for me. So the second time I came, she brought her best friend, intending to introduce her to me. She even said someone like me, a second-generation rich, must have a presentable girlfriend and suggested I dump my previous one.”
“Then what?”
Jiang Qin coughed, falling silent for a moment before speaking, “That day, Feng Nanshu was sitting in my car.”
“…”
After hearing this, goosebumps rose on Guo Zihang’s skin. It was hard to imagine what kind of moment of social death Senior Sister had experienced. “No wonder Senior Sister won’t even reply to my QQ messages now. Just listening makes my face hurt!”
“Coincidence, all coincidence. Who knew she would look into the car.” Jiang Qin washed his hands of it completely.
“That said, Senior Sister wasn’t right either. Even if it’s her best friend, she shouldn’t go behind someone’s back like that.”
Hearing this, Jiang Qin was a bit surprised, “For you to say something like that, as your godfather I don’t need to worry about you becoming someone’s lapdog.”
“What’s a lapdog?” Guo Zihang had no clue about this term.
“Shamelessly fawning over the opposite sex, having no bottom line in order to gain their favor. These types are collectively known as lick-dogs.”
Guo Zihang suddenly started making a face, “I won’t be a dog. I want to be a wolf!”
“Lick-wolf?”
“…”
Jiang Qin chuckled for a while, “Forget that nonsense. Let me tell you about serious matters. I’ve already taken over the milk tea shop. In the future, go help out more often.”
Guo Zihang immediately voiced his agreement, “No problem. I miss the days of making money with you during summer break.”
“I’m not done yet. Don’t rush. Once the milk tea shop enters normal operations, I want to hold a campus beauty contest at your school. That will be the key moment for you to truly shine.”
“Campus beauty contest? Didn’t Linchuan University hold one before October 1st? I heard Chu Siqi got first place, Liu Yiyi second, and the third was…”
Guo Zihang blurted out, seeming quite familiar with this.
Jiang Qin found it a bit unexpected, “Where did you hear about it?”
“The university town is only so big. One bus ride can take you everywhere. Any news spreads quickly. A while back, our class was even discussing it, privately comparing who was the campus beauty. But no one would yield to anyone else.”
Jiang Qin couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. He thought if the situation was really as Guo Zihang described, the subsequent promotions would be much easier.
Because when something new appears, the hardest step is getting everyone to accept it.
If the students at University of Science and Technology already had the idea of selecting a campus beauty, then his own promotion was instead going with the flow.
“Brother Jiang?”
“Hm?”
“You just said you’ll let me truly shine. So what can I specifically do?” Guo Zihang was a bit excited.
Jiang Qin grinned, “Hand out flyers.”
“????”
After chatting for about an hour, Guo Zihang gradually fell silent.
Jiang Qin also felt a bit tired, so he planned to catch some sleep and go back tomorrow. But Guo Zihang exemplified the fact that fat people love to snore to the fullest extent, drilling into his head like an electric drill.
By 4 AM, Jiang Qin couldn’t take it anymore. Even though it wasn’t light out yet, he still cursed as he drove back to Linchuan University.
But the male dorms weren’t open at this hour. Jiang Qin directly went to the entrepreneurship base and napped on the couch in Room 207.
By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already past 10 AM.
Jiang Qin yawned and sat up from the couch, his hair a messy bird’s nest from sleep. But he had no time to tidy up. He went straight to Room 208 and gathered everyone for a small meeting.
“The milk tea shop matter is resolved, so the subsequent steps can proceed as planned.”
“Wenhao, those few students you recruited from University of Science and Technology can get started now. Have them produce more content. The original content team shouldn’t slack off either. Write some cliched dog-blood topics that college students love.”
“Lanlan, Senior Sister Xu Yu, you two go take over the shop at University of Science and Technology later. Make sure to verify the old accounts clearly. Don’t leave any bad debts.”
“Also, bring Fang Xiaoxuan with you when you go. Let her try her hand at it.”
“Pang Hai, contact Shengshi Printing Factory. Have them rush to make a Xitian signboard to replace Encounter’s old one.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded and started taking action according to plan.
After arranging everything, Jiang Qin had nothing to do. So he took a towel and went to the bathroom in the middle of the hallway to freshen up.
There was no shampoo. Keeping it simple, he just needed to flatten his hair that was sticking up.
He had just finished fixing his hair in the sink area outside the bathroom and was wiping it with a towel when a girl with bangs walked in, looking a bit surprised to see him.
“Oh, senior?”
Jiang Qin remembered her. This girl was the one he ran into at the general office entrance that day, probably here to replace the TV senior.
The girl had a fresh, clean look, her smile also quite bright. Her features were a bit ordinary but it didn’t detract from her lively air. She seemed very approachable.
“You’re at the general office now, right?” Jiang Qin casually asked.
“Yes, senior. I’m Tang Lin from the International Trade Department, assigned to assist Senior Sister Cao in managing entrepreneurship applications. What about you, senior?”
“School of Finance, Jiang Qin. Is Professor Yan at the general office right now?”
Tang Lin nodded, “He is.”
“Alright, tell Professor Yan not to wander around. I’ll look for him in a bit, I have something to discuss.” Jiang Qin washed his face while he was at it.
“Okay, okay.”
After hearing this, Tang Lin was a bit nervous. She thought the word “wander” wasn’t appropriate to use for a professor, right?
But she wasn’t clear on who Jiang Qin was. She still thought he was a very capable senior, so he could joke around with a professor like this. But she didn’t dare say something like that. So she stuck out her tongue and quietly left the restroom.
Jiang Qin was indeed looking for Professor Yan for something, and it was a very important matter.
Because now that he had the milk tea shop, activities could quickly be rolled out at University of Science and Technology later on. But the problem was, opening a milk tea shop and holding activities were different.
Simply put, it didn’t matter to the school who the owner of the milk tea shop was. You could transfer it as you pleased. As long as rent was paid on time, no one would care.
However, if you wanted to hold large-scale events at someone else’s school, this matter had to be agreed to by the school leadership.
Although Jiang Qin could be considered a multi-millionaire now, his reputation definitely wasn’t as useful as Professor Yan’s. So he planned to go through Professor Yan, contacting University of Science and Technology’s side in advance to avoid having the event shut down before it even started.
