Chapter 127: Feng Nanshu is a Little Devil

The full name of the general education building is the General Education Center. It is affiliated with the university’s publicity department and is also called the news center. The entire building is located in the East Campus.

The next day at noon, the autumn wind was cold.

After eating lunch, Jiang Qin drove to the East Campus and found a parking spot to stop.

He wasn’t familiar with the security guards in the East Campus and couldn’t casually throw his car on the side of the road like he could on the main campus, so he tried to keep a low profile and not make a scene if he didn’t need to.

After parking the car, Jiang Qin checked the time and found that it was only just past twelve o’clock, still an hour before the interview began.

In this situation, Room A302 probably wasn’t open yet.

Jiang Qin simply unbuckled his seatbelt and sat in the car playing Snake while waiting. In a daze, he discovered a very interesting problem.

He had always claimed he was single.

But his car didn’t seem like a single man’s car at all.

In the storage box in front of the armrest were the little deer hair ties Feng Nanshu used to tie her ponytail, as well as a pair of her sunglasses. In front of the passenger seat was a black bow she had taken off last time.

In addition, there was the hand-knitted wool bag he had bought her during the team building trip last time.

Jiang Qin opened the storage box and took a look, finding that there was also the little rich girl’s lipstick, compact mirror, folding comb, and… a pack of sanitary napkins inside.

“Feng Nanshu, this little devil, is constantly invading my life.”

“How annoying!”

Jiang Qin muttered to himself, casually closing the storage box. He lightly leaned back against the seat, his expression gradually becoming pensive.

When it was 12:40, Jiang Qin got out of the car, locked the doors, and entered the General Education building. After climbing the stairs to the third floor, he arrived at Room A302.

It was a spacious classroom similar to a studio, with a few spotlights, a Sony video camera, and four televisions stacked together inside.

Two black sofas were placed in the center of the classroom, one of which was occupied by a short-haired woman who looked quite elegant.

She was wearing a Linchuan Youth Daily work ID and was muttering while holding a piece of paper in her hand.

Next to the sofa stood a man wearing a dark green vest and a baseball cap, with a Nikon DSLR hanging from his chest.

No need to ask, these should be the reporters from Linchuan Youth Daily. The reporters on TV almost all looked like this.

However…

When Jiang Qin turned his gaze back, he unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

She was wearing a white dress with a very artistic temperament, her smooth long hair draping over her shoulders. She was also looking at him with bright eyes and subconsciously biting her lip.

Strangely, this time she didn’t shout or look like the whole world owed her something. She just stood there quietly without making a sound for a long time.

“Jiang Qin?”

The short-haired female reporter on the sofa suddenly noticed him and walked over with a smile, extending her right hand, “Hello, I’m Dong Min, a reporter from Linchuan Youth Daily. Thank you very much for agreeing to be interviewed by our newspaper.”

Jiang Qin withdrew his gaze and shook hands with the female reporter, “I should be the one thanking Linchuan Youth Daily for coming to interview me, an ordinary college student.”

“The achievements you’ve made in the two months since enrollment are not ordinary at all.”

Dong Min responded with a smile but felt a little surprised in her heart.

Because when the eighteen-year-old young man in front of her shook hands, he actually knew to do it gently, which was completely different from those college students she had interviewed before who wouldn’t let go.

The following interview went very smoothly, almost exactly as Jiang Qin had studied the night before. He answered every question fluently.

Although Jiang Qin had never been formally interviewed in his previous life, facing this small situation with the soul of a 38-year-old, he wasn’t flustered at all. When it came to entrepreneurship, work-study, dreams, even if he was completely impromptu, he could talk endlessly. Otherwise, he would have mixed in the socializing scene for over a decade for nothing.

After a few questions, Dong Min’s evaluation of him grew higher and higher.

It was difficult for a freshman in college not to be nervous when being interviewed by official media but Jiang Qin really wasn’t nervous.

“My entrepreneurial achievements are not just my own but everyone’s. Because without the help of the school, the support of the teachers, and the support of everyone, Zhihu wouldn’t be the Zhihu of today and Jiang Qin wouldn’t be qualified to be the Jiang Qin of today.”

“Finally, let me give a summary.”

“There is no such thing as truly peaceful times. It’s just that the Party, the country, the school, and the teachers are carrying burdens for us and forging ahead.”

For the final summary, Jiang Qin deliberately lowered his voice to make it sound richer. The internet chicken soup popular twenty years later rolled off his tongue, achieving a precise cross-dimensional attack to a certain extent.

This sentence made Dong Min opposite him stunned for a moment. She only felt it resounded and immediately wrote it down in her notebook with a flourish.

Even though she used a voice recorder, at this moment, it seemed she was afraid she would forget this sentence.

In this era of non-mainstream slogans, who had heard such a powerful maxim?

“Can that last sentence be used as the title for this news article?”

“Of course.”

Jiang Qin agreed indifferently, thinking that he hadn’t even sung “Lone Brave One” yet. Love your lonely figure, love your unyielding appearance, love you confronting despair, unwilling to cry. If he sang this song, even kindergarten children would be dumbfounded and lost.

At the same time, Chu Siqi stood on the side, looking at Jiang Qin with a complex expression, a trace of very light yet painful sadness flashing in her heart.

She had just been recruited into the news center last month because of her title as the number one campus belle. Director Gu planned to groom her to be the deputy station chief of the reporter station and represent Linchuan University for interviews in the future. Just her beautiful face alone could bring several points of prestige to the school.

Linchuan University had a journalism department and the position of station chief had to be reserved for someone from the journalism department but what was wrong with having a beautiful deputy station chief?

But Chu Siqi didn’t expect that the first person she would be liaising with would be a reporter from Linchuan Youth Daily and she also didn’t expect that the reporter from Linchuan Youth Daily would be interviewing Jiang Qin.

This encounter was different from the one on the train. It was the first time she was looking at this person again without any willfulness or domineering attitude and also the first time seeing Jiang Qin’s eloquence.

The person in front of her eyes was completely different from high school.

Whether in terms of manner of speaking, conduct, or bearing, he far surpassed their batch of peers.

He was mature and confident, flamboyant but not arrogant.

Chu Siqi knew that she used to be just one step away from him but now it was already far out of reach.

Because apart from that startled glance when he came in, he didn’t look at her again the entire time, but there was no deliberate avoidance either, more of a calm and composed indifference.

He really didn’t care anymore, he didn’t even bother to hate her. Chu Siqi felt this was what hurt her the most.

“Student Jiang Qin, please sit up straight. I’ll take a photo of you to use as the news picture.”

Jiang Qin shifted his bottom, “Is this okay?”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

The photographer pressed the shutter, capturing the image, and showed it to Dong Min. Dong Min nodded in satisfaction, “This will do. Thank you again, Student Jiang. I have to say, you are the most mature-minded college student I’ve ever met.”

“Teacher Dong is the most beautiful reporter I’ve ever met.”

Jiang Qin didn’t know what to compliment so he complimented her beauty. She was a woman after all so he couldn’t go wrong praising her looks.

Dong Min smiled and said she had to go to the main campus for another interview appointment. The interviewee was a junior who had returned a large sum of lost money. The news center didn’t have enough people to come before so they were doing it along the way this time.

“How are you going there?”

Jiang Qin asked.

“We took a taxi here so we can only walk there.”

Dong Min put her bag on her back and replied.

“I happen to be going back to the main campus too. Why don’t you ride in my car?”

Jiang Qin felt it would be a pity not to extend this kind of casual goodwill. Whether it would be useful later or not, it was best to send out the favor first.

“Really? Thank you so much then.”

Dong Min was a bit surprised he actually had a car but thinking about the background information and thinking about his advertising revenue, she felt a bit silly. With a monthly income of over 500,000 yuan, it was very normal for him to buy a car.

The eighteen-year-old young man in front of her really wasn’t as ordinary as he said.

As for Chu Siqi behind Dong Min, her face turned a bit pale and she couldn’t help sighing in her heart, thinking so what those online posts said was true, he really did buy a car.

“Xiaochu, why don’t you come with us too.”

“Ah? Can I?”

“Director Gu and our director are old friends. She specifically instructed for you to follow the entire process and understand the different interview styles for different interviewees.”

Chu Siqi immediately nodded after hearing this. She had a hidden expectation in her heart, not expecting to see the professional reporter’s work attitude, but wanting to ride in Jiang Qin’s car.

She didn’t know what she was thinking but… she was just very much looking forward to it.

Jiang Qin sighed in his heart, thinking why didn’t this surnamed Dong female reporter say so earlier. If you said it earlier, I wouldn’t let you ride in my crappy car.

But now that things had come to this, you couldn’t refuse either.

After all, he was the one who offered a ride since it was on the way, not them asking for it. Was he going to say not to let Chu Siqi come along?

Seeming petty was a small matter, but if Chu Siqi suddenly threw a fit and started wailing, then it would really be impossible to resolve.

Jiang Qin didn’t say anything and walked out of A302 without any expression. Dong Min and that photographer followed behind and Chu Siqi very low-key brought up the rear.

Her previous imperiousness was completely because she felt she was high and mighty in her heart.

But at this moment, facing Jiang Qin, she truly had none of her former confidence.

After a while, Jiang Qin drove that Audi out from the parking spot and stopped the car, inviting the few people to get in.

Chu Siqi hesitated for a long time, not daring to go to the passenger seat, and instead turned and got into the back seat. The photographer also sat in the back seat, as did Dong Min like them.

“Isn’t it crowded?”

“It’s a bit crowded but it’s fine, so your little girlfriend doesn’t get jealous. Otherwise, you’ll be in for it.”

Dong Min was a reporter after all. As soon as she got in the car, she noticed those little girl’s accessories and was now pointing at that black bow, chuckling meaningfully.

Seeing Dong Min’s faint smile, Jiang Qin thought for a bit and couldn’t help laughing along.

Does Feng Nanshu even know what jealousy is?

“…”

Wait a minute, is my brain broken?

As for Chu Siqi, she was currently observing the changes in Jiang Qin’s expression through the rearview mirror. After a while, she couldn’t help but flash a trace of desolation in her expression.
