Chapter 128: Very Obedient and Clingy

From the East Campus to the Main Campus, Jiang Qin steered the wheel with one hand, driving steadily and comfortably.

Dong Min, the photographer and Chu Siqi sat in the back without speaking, causing the atmosphere to be a bit quiet, and when quiet for too long it started to feel a bit awkward, especially in the confined space of the car, once awkward it made people very uncomfortable.

So Dong Min started asking Chu Siqi where her hometown was and if she had a boyfriend.

Chu Siqi said she didn’t have a boyfriend and her home was in Jizhou.

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Qin in the driver’s seat and found he was opening the window to greet the security guard at the Main Campus while pinching away the two dates in the guard’s hand.

“Jiang Qin, where is your girlfriend from?”

Jiang Qin wiped the dates on his clothes before taking a bite and answering, “I wouldn’t dare tell Reporter Dong these things. If my business gets big in the future, my past love life could all become dark history.”

Dong Min was amused by him, “I’m a proper journalist, not a paparazzi for gossip magazines. I won’t affect your reputation.”

“I’ve never been afraid of affecting my own reputation.”

Jiang Qin retracted his smile and slowed the car down, entering the pedestrian walkway.

Dong Min blanked for a moment before suddenly understanding his meaning. He wasn’t afraid of being affected himself, so was he afraid of his little girlfriend being affected?

Heh, quite protective.

But don’t be fooled by Dong Min being a reporter. Before she was a reporter, she was first and foremost a woman, and there are no women who don’t gossip.

Linchuan Youth Daily was a very serious and proper newspaper. Although Dong Min interviewed hundreds and thousands of people a year, there weren’t many real opportunities to hear gossip.

Also, Jiang Qin appeared mature but not wooden, steady yet humorous, smooth on all sides and silver-tongued, very easily gaining others’ favor.

This type of person tended to have more romantic luck and under normal circumstances had a high probability of becoming a playboy.

Even if he didn’t become a playboy, he definitely wouldn’t allow some girl to put her personal belongings in his car. That would be equivalent to marking her territory and also equivalent to declaring her sovereignty to the outside world.

Unless he really liked her a lot would he tolerate and indulge her.

This made Dong Min even more curious. Just what kind of girl could capture this type of smooth talker.

“Boss Jiang, let’s not talk details, just some peripheral issues. You tell me where she’s from, I couldn’t possibly know who she is, right?”

Jiang Qin lightly tapped the brakes to avoid a stray cat, “She’s also from our area.”

Dong Min was a bit surprised upon hearing this, “High school classmates? To be able to continue all the way to university is really quite rare.”

Jiang Qin thought, why is the whole world concerned about whether I’m dating or not, are you all matchmakers sent by the gods to fulfill quotas? “Same high school but didn’t really talk during school, only truly got to know each other over summer break.”

“What’s her personality like?”

“Very obedient, very clingy, pretty like a little fairy.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Siqi who sat on the right side silently leaned her previously straight back against the seat, her gaze drifting out the car window, feeling everything before her eyes was very unreal.

So a relationship from high school to university was really enviable in others’ eyes.

She never knew this before, only feeling being liked by many and pursued by many was something to be proud of.

Just…

Very obedient and clingy?

No matter what, Chu Siqi couldn’t match these five words to the coldly elegant Feng Nanshu.

How could a girl like that be very obedient and clingy.

Just that Huiru said she had witnessed it with her own eyes so she had no choice but to believe. Plus Jiang Qin’s expression, that was a look of true happiness from the heart.

After a while, Jiang Qin drove the car to the front plaza then let the three people off. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left. When exiting Linchuan University’s gate, he glanced at that bow sitting in front of the passenger seat, hesitating whether to put it in the storage box.

Being constantly asked about girlfriends and such felt quite unpleasant.

But after thinking for a while, he smiled faintly, thinking forget it, just let it sit there. Deliberately hiding it would be too obvious, making it seem like he was too into the act.

What am I afraid of?

This father fears nothing!

At the same time, Dong Min brought the photographer and Chu Siqi to find that honest student who had returned the lost money according to the agreed location and began a new round of interviews.

This junior was facing formal reporters for the first time and couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous, constantly pinching the creases on his jeans the whole time. Especially upon hearing the shutter sound of the DSLR, he always felt his head get a little dizzy.

In this situation, the reporter needed to conduct a guided questioning.

The original question was: How did you think of returning the wallet?

But now the question needed to be changed to: Did you return the wallet because you have an innate righteousness and kindness in your heart?

After modifying the question, the interviewee only needed to answer yes yes yes, right right right, also becoming very simple.

Half an hour later, Dong Min brought her people out of the teaching building and arrived at the rest area of the front plaza, subconsciously rubbing her face.

How to say it, the feeling from the two interviews made Dong Min feel completely different.

Although Jiang Qin was just a freshman, he was calm and collected the whole time, every sentence spoken just right. But that honest lost money returning interview was really exhausting, basically all her guiding the other person to answer yes or no.

Also, because the other party spoke little and it was all Dong Min asking guided questions the whole time while maintaining a smiling expression, it made her face a bit stiff.

“Did you feel the difference between different interviewees?”

Chu Siqi nodded upon hearing Dong Min’s question, “Increasingly feeling Jiang Qin’s interview was very impressive. Teacher Dong, you basically didn’t say much and the rhythm was controlled by Jiang Qin the whole time.”

Dong Min smiled faintly, “But people who can control the rhythm like Jiang Qin are actually quite few, especially in university. Most people would still be nervous. Even if not nervous, the things they say can’t be directly reported. Jiang Qin is an exception, not the norm. This is the purpose of me bringing you along.”

“He really is quite outstanding, right?” Chu Siqi raised her eyes.

Dong Min nodded, “Just based on that interview, I can’t think of any way to answer better than Jiang Qin did. Although what he said wasn’t his true thoughts, purely singing high praises, but being able to sing high notes that make people feel good inside is actually a very scary ability.”

“So that’s how it is.” The sense of disparity in Chu Siqi’s heart became even more apparent.

Just as they were speaking, the photographer suddenly took a call. When he came back, he muttered in a low voice, “The editor-in-chief said individual photos can’t be used for the picture. The focus still has to be the entrepreneurship office.”

“Why didn’t he say so earlier?” Dong Min was a bit speechless.

“Anyway, we haven’t left yet. Let’s go retake it.”

Dong Min, with the bad mood of a working stiff, flipped open her phone and called Director Gu.

Director Gu was very happy to accept upon hearing this because rather than only promoting Jiang Qin as an individual, being able to showcase Linchuan University’s support for entrepreneurial students in passing was the best.

So, the address of Entrepreneurship Base Room 208 and Cao Xinyue’s phone number were sent to Dong Min’s phone.

At the same time, in the general office of the entrepreneurship base, Tang Lin and the International Trade Department vice president Xue Gang were standing in the hallway discussing with very serious expressions.

“Senior, I’m telling you, if you don’t come make your presence known, Hong Yan is going to become someone else’s.”

Xue Gang didn’t believe it at all, “Who?”

Tang Lin pointed in the direction of 208, “It’s Jiang Qin who I mentioned to you last time. They’ve already progressed to the point of eating meals together!”

“I’ve also eaten with Hong Yan, so what?”

“Then what if I said Hong Yan took the initiative to find Jiang Qin to eat together, what then?”

Hearing this sentence, Xue Gang’s expression finally turned solemn, “Hong Yan took the initiative to find him to eat, are you sure?”

Tang Lin nodded with utmost certainty, “I was there at the time. But don’t worry, according to my precise calculations, your success rate is 41% while Jiang Qin’s success rate is 40%. For now, you still have the advantage.”

“Then wouldn’t he surpass me with just a bit of effort? What kind of advantage is this?”

“He’s been quite busy lately and often doesn’t come back, so I called you over. Take this time to make your presence known and widen the gap. You think I’d drink your milk tea for nothing?”

After listening, Xue Gang felt a severe sense of crisis, “Tell me more about that Jiang Qin’s basic situation.”

Tang Lin couldn’t help blanking, “Didn’t I compile it into a document and send it to you last time?”

“Was too confident last time and didn’t take it seriously, just casually glanced at it.”

Tang Lin had no choice and so repeated Jiang Qin’s situation. Unexpectedly, Xue Gang directly laughed after hearing it.

Just this?

A School of Finance freshman who started a business at school, so what?

No matter how impressive you are mixing in school, you can’t make big waves once entering society.

Besides, as the vice president of the International Trade Department, wasn’t his own reputation not inferior to the four words “entrepreneurial college student”?

As for monthly income of 500,000 yuan, even more embarrassing to mention. As the son of a family with a coal company, Xue Gang really looked down on that number.

Just as they were talking, the door of the general office was suddenly pushed open. Cao Xinyue walked out with Hong Yan, waving at Tang Lin then heading to the entrepreneurship base entrance.

Dong Min’s group quickly arrived. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cao Xinyue brought them to 208.

At this time, only Chu Siqi, Hong Yan, Tang Lin and Xue Gang remained in the hallway.

Linchuan University’s campus area was very large, so large that if not agreeing beforehand, it would be hard for people to meet by chance encounter, but the world just has that many inexplicable coincidences.

Coincidental enough to make people who want to meet miss each other, coincidental enough to make people who don’t want to meet encounter each other again.

So the moment she saw Hong Yan, Chu Siqi’s face color instantly changed.

Jiang Qin’s office was here and Hong Yan was also here. She’d be a fool not to notice the issue.

“Hong Yan, you’re still pursuing Jiang Qin?”

“…”

“????”

Tang Lin’s face changed and thought, what kind of thing is this to say? Looking at her bestie again, she was just staring straight at the other person’s eyes, her gaze cold, but with no intention of refuting.

Xue Gang on the side was also confused, thinking this girl was really something, even speaking backward.

“So what if I’m still pursuing, what’s it to you?”

Hong Yan spoke coldly. It didn’t stump Chu Siqi but did stun Tang Lin and Xue Gang.
