Chapter Index

    “Tony, sorry to trouble you, but I also want a hairstyle like that!”

    “?!?!?!?!”

    “The same hairstyle as that girl, in a ponytail or loose on the shoulders, can you do it?”

    “Well, this…”

    “Me, me too! I don’t want a perm anymore, give me the same cut as well!”

    “Hey, my girlfriend went to wash her hair, wait for her to come out and give her the same style too!”

    After seeing the goddess-like Feng Nanshu and He Manqi who transformed from non-mainstream to a pure girl using her as a template, all the customers in the salon couldn’t help but get restless, their eyes shining.

    There was even a guy with quite dark skin who, while his girlfriend went to wash her hair, unilaterally decided on her new hairstyle.

    This is the power of the seller’s demo.

    Now the pressure is on Tony, but Tony’s head is spinning.

    The reason they look good with a simple high ponytail is because they have a good foundation, not because of my great skills.

    My scissors can only fix hair, I can’t fix faces!

    “You… are you sure you want the same style?”

    “Of course, see how good they look? Hurry and cut it!”

    Seeing Tony’s conflicted expression, Jiang Qin couldn’t stop laughing on the side, then pinched Feng Nanshu’s little hand until she whimpered.

    In this era, the internet was not as developed as in later years. Popular styles and outfits spread through small circles. Getting the same hairstyle as someone else was very common.

    Tony picked up the scissors, focused his mind, and started mass replicating Feng Nanshu’s style.

    On the other side, the template rich girl and the replica girl had already been taken out of the salon by Jiang Qin. They sat down at an open-air barbecue stall across the street and casually ordered some skewers to fill their stomachs.

    “Brother Jiang Qin, tell me more about Sister Nanshu, I want to learn!”

    “She…”

    Jiang Qin had just spit out a word when he turned to look at Feng Nanshu, “You’re not allowed to eavesdrop.”

    Feng Nanshu pursed her red lips, “I won’t eavesdrop.”

    Jiang Qin relaxed and looked at He Manqi, “Cool goddess, moonlit angel, dream girl, scholar beauty – they all describe your Sister Nanshu. Back then, she was the dream of every boy at South City High.”

    He Manqi’s face was full of amazement, “Then, then was she the prettiest girl in your high school?”

    “Not just high school, no matter where she is, she’s the prettiest girl. I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than her. Plus, she ranked first in every exam and didn’t talk to others much. Even when answering questions, she was very sparing with her words, super mysterious. This is what you call a goddess. Manqi, you need to study hard, cultivate both inner and outer beauty.”

    Jiang Qin lowered his voice after saying this, feeling a bit uneasy as he glanced over.

    Luckily, Feng Nanshu was holding a cup and sipping water like a cute silly cat. Her posture was upright, her expression obedient, as if she hadn’t heard anything.

    “Did you eavesdrop?” Jiang Qin asked her.

    Feng Nanshu shook her head seriously and said softly, “I didn’t eavesdrop, but Jiang Qin, I didn’t rank first every time.”

    “?!?!?!?!”

    Just as the atmosphere froze, the barbecue owner brought over the skewers. Jiang Qin decisively ended the topic and started meticulously eating the skewers, pretending he hadn’t said anything.

    After they finished eating and were about to leave, suddenly a scream came from the salon across the street. A girl with a big face dragged out a boy with very dark skin, fuming mad.

    She had the same ponytail as Feng Nanshu and kept cursing, wishing his whole family well.

    “The seller’s demo is really powerful.”

    Jiang Qin secretly sighed, then sent Feng Nanshu back to school and took the transformed He Manqi to find He Yijun at Wanzhong Mall.

    Actually, He Yijun didn’t have high hopes for his daughter’s university tour this time. After all, he had consulted many experienced teachers, and they were all helpless in the face of He Manqi’s unruliness.

    Although Jiang Qin was a star student, he would probably just scratch his head when faced with his daughter.

    “President He!”

    Jiang Qin pushed open the door and greeted He Yijun who was sitting in the boss’s chair.

    “Huh? President Jiang, it’s not even dark yet, how come you’re back so early? Where’s Manqi?”

    He Yijun was a bit surprised and quickly poured a cup of tea for him.

    “Manqi went to the restroom, she’ll be here in a bit.”

    Jiang Qin sat down on the chair and took the tea He Yijun handed over, saying thanks.

    “How was Manqi’s performance today?”

    Jiang Qin sighed, sounding a bit regretful as he spoke, “President He, the rebellious phase is a normal psychological stage. Teenagers at this stage all have a strong sense of self and generally can’t be forcibly swayed by others.”

    “I knew it…”

    He Yijun couldn’t help sighing.

    “So, when you see Manqi, don’t be too disappointed. I did what I could within my ability, although it’s not much. I hope you don’t blame me.”

    “No no, President Jiang went through the trouble, I actually guessed it too. This girl, she…”

    He Yijun hadn’t finished speaking when the office door was suddenly pushed open. He Manqi walked in with her hair dyed back to black, in a ponytail, with her ear piercings and rings removed, looking pure and pretty.

    Compared to her previous non-mainstream look, the current He Manqi really seemed like a different person, just like a good girl.

    “Dad, I want to go to university.”

    “?!?!?!?!”

    He Manqi frowned, “I want to go to university!”

    He Yijun held his breath, looking at Jiang Qin in disbelief, “President Jiang, you… you hit her, right?”

    “No, I just took her to experience the atmosphere of university, to see how everyone studies and works hard, and conveniently got her hair done.”

    “Just that? Experiencing it for an afternoon made my girl experience such a change?”

    Even the corner of He Yijun’s mouth twitched as he looked his daughter up and down, his eyes full of disbelief.

    Isn’t this a huge change?

    Let’s not even mention whether she wants to study or go to university. Just based on her hair color and style, it’s like you switched my girl’s head.

    You should know, He Yijun had previously scolded He Manqi over her hairstyle. But He Manqi said she’d do anything, but whoever tried to touch her hair was asking for death.

    He Manqi got impatient with his staring, “Dad, I said I want to go to university, why aren’t you reacting?!”

    “University, you can go wherever you want, even if you want to roast sweet potatoes, I’m willing!” He Yijun grinned from ear to ear.

    “Alright, don’t bother me, I need to go study!”

    “Damn, the words ‘go study’ actually came out of your mouth? Go, hurry and go, I’ll have the secretary prepare the snacks you like!”

    He Manqi was currently in her teenage rebellious phase, feeling lost about life, not knowing what she should or shouldn’t do. Frankly speaking, she had never thought about what kind of person she wanted to become.

    But after returning from Linchuan University, she figured it out. She wants to become someone like Sister Nanshu.

    Scholar beauty, moonlight angel, dream girl!

    “Brother Jiang Qin, I’m going to study!”

    The young girl flicked her ponytail. The four words “I’m going to study” still rang in He Yijun’s ears like thunder, reverberating for a long time, unable to calm down.

    Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin drank his tea without changing his expression.

    He really liked He Yijun’s current look of never having seen the world. Very awesome? With one move from me, it’s just the human limit.

    “President He, I did what I promised you. Remember to help me ask about the party.”

    “Don’t worry President Jiang, I’ll definitely give you an answer tomorrow. But I’m very curious, why do you insist on attending this party?”

    “I want to smell the scent of money.”

    He Yijun knew he didn’t want to say more, so he smiled and didn’t continue asking.

    Actually, Jiang Qin’s idea was very simple. Although the group-buy platform had taken off, the profits were still not enough. He wanted to expand the scope of business and radiate to more fields.

    On the Winter Solstice, he did a milk tea card marketing campaign with Xitian Milk Tea Shop as the main body, which gained wide popularity.

    So since I can sell milk tea cards and let people who bought the cards go to the store to consume, I can similarly cooperate with all kinds of merchants to sell all sorts of in-store discount coupons.

    But the problem is, Jiang Qin is not famous now, so it’s hard to find big merchants in Linchuan to cooperate with.

    Who the hell are you?

    An ordinary college student, even if you’re a study star, so what?

    If it wasn’t for Wanzhong Mall taking a fancy to the college student consumer market and purchasing advertising services from the Zhihu forum, Jiang Qin might not even have the chance to know He Yijun now.

    But the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce’s New Year’s party is obviously an opportunity. Go mix and get familiar with people first, maybe someone will want to try online sales.

    Some jujube trees, if you don’t beat them, you won’t get a chance to know if they have jujubes or not. So no matter what, you have to beat them a few times.

    KTV, bars, hotels – the money has to be spent. So why can’t it pass through my pocket first?

    “President He.”

    Just then, President He’s secretary rushed in in a fluster, “Just now, Manqi for some reason insisted on asking me about a math problem.”

    He Yijun’s face lit up with a smile after hearing this, “That’s my girl, hurry and teach her!”

    “I… I already returned math to the teacher long ago.”

    “No problem, no problem, we still have a study star here, no question can stump him!”

    He Yijun was full of spirit, completely ignoring Jiang Qin’s guilty conscience as he took him to the next room to tutor his daughter on math.

    When he got the paper, Jiang Qin raised the corner of his mouth, “The study star doesn’t make a move easily. Manqi, think about it carefully again, I believe in you.”

    “Thank you Brother Jiang Qin, I’ll try to think some more.”

    Jiang Qin turned to look at He Yijun and spoke with conviction, “We need to cultivate children’s independent study awareness. They can’t think of asking others whenever they encounter difficulties, or else what will they do during exams? Who will they ask then?”

    He Yijun gave a thumbs up, “Professional!”

    “Alright President He, I won’t disturb you anymore. Give me a call when you have news.”

    Jiang Qin turned and left, hiding his smile, his heart in a panic.

    Damn, I’ve even forgotten high school math, can this still work, fuck!

    No no, I must review.

    Jiang Qin drove all the way back to Linchuan University, called Cao Guangyu, Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao to the teaching building, vowing to make up for all the knowledge he missed!
