Chapter 186: He came to pick you up after class

From Zhihu to group buying, Jiang Qin spent an entire semester laying out the full framework and paving the way for all development directions. Further upgrades and expansion would only be a matter of time.

But for him personally, there was still one fatal issue that needed to be resolved.

The exam week was rapidly approaching.

As a student, this was ultimately a hurdle he had to overcome.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the subject teacher began highlighting key points. Jiang Qin specially bought a very expensive pen to show his support for the teacher’s work. He was fully focused the entire class, meticulous and unlike his previous self.

“Old Jiang, that pen of yours looks quite nice, it even has a little cat that pops its head in and out?”

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but compliment the flamboyant pen in his hand.

“Of course it’s nice, it’s the most expensive pen in the school store.” Jiang Qin was extravagant.

“Isn’t it too girly? It’s fine for girls to use.”

Cao Guangyu also came over to take a look. “Typical poor student with expensive stationery. No matter how good the pen is, it won’t make you any better.”

After hearing this, Jiang Qin felt uncomfortable all over, even his eyebrows stood up. “Curse me all you want, but why are you rhyming too?”

“Sorry, my talent just overflowed uncontrollably.” Cao Guangyu was very impressive.

Jiang Qin yawned. “How about this, right after class, let’s head straight to the study room. Same as before, whoever leaves first is a dog.”

Zhou Chao was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hand. “Forget it, bro Jiang. Last time we went to the study room and studied for an afternoon, the vast amount of knowledge pouring in all at once overloaded my brain. I couldn’t sleep at night.”

“That’s not insomnia, you slept too much in the study room so you couldn’t sleep at night.”

“Really?” Zhou Chao suddenly realized.

Ren Ziqiang stopped writing and joined the conversation. “I feel like studying requires supervision. When I was in high school, my family stayed with me and my efficiency skyrocketed. Now suddenly no one is managing me, I have no idea how to study.”

Cao Guangyu chimed in from the side. “This is the difference between being motivated and unmotivated. Let’s take Old Jiang as an example. If he’s motivated to study, he can study even in Feng Nanshu’s bed. If he’s not motivated, even the study room can’t save him.”

Jiang Qin nodded. “Good example, don’t use it again next time.”

“I’m just telling the truth.”

“What truth are you spewing? Get lost!”

Jiang Qin leaned back, the pen cap inserted and removed between his thumb and index finger, suffering endless humiliation.

Actually, Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang were different from him.

Although one of the three was stuck in the gentle trap of love, and the other two in the gentle trap of their beds, they at least had a brain that just finished the college entrance exam. As long as they felt a sense of urgency, entering study mode was easy for them.

But Jiang Qin was different. The brain he had was one that had been away from studying for over a decade.

Doing business and making money was fine, but when faced with the preposterous task of studying, he always felt like he didn’t know where to start.

“I can only go to the little rich girl for tutoring.” Jiang Qin muttered to himself.

Cao Guangyu immediately interjected. “I gave you this suggestion long ago but you didn’t listen then.”

“Old Cao, does talking earn money? You seem to be quite talkative today, are you planning to pay back the 500 yuan you borrowed from me for Christmas early?”

“…”

Cao Guangyu gritted his teeth, succumbing to the tyranny of money.

Jiang Qin let out a cold chuckle and said nothing more. The world finally quieted down a bit. Like this, he obediently sat until class ended, then headed straight for Class 4 where Feng Nanshu was.

Because there was a lot to do at the end of the semester, Class 4’s class time was extended a bit. The counselor took over for the last few minutes to explain the filling out and review of bonus items for competitions at the end of the semester.

The counselor of Class 4 was named Xue Hongying, a woman who just turned 30. She had short hair and spoke gently, just a bit slowly.

Jiang Qin wasn’t in a hurry. He just leaned against the back door waiting, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on Feng Nanshu.

While he was looking inside, someone in Class 4 also spotted Jiang Qin, causing a chain reaction of people turning around to look.

After Jiang Qin’s group buying went online, his fame in the school soared. Coupled with his low attendance, he was now a capable and mysterious existence.

Of course, everyone in Class 4 knew who he was waiting for, especially the guys. Just thinking about it made them sour.

Damn, they seem to be wearing matching outfits too. Come on lightning, strike him dead!

“Feng Nanshu, do you miss Jiang Qin?”

Fan Shuling stared at the blackboard and asked nonchalantly.

“I do.”

Feng Nanshu nodded without any hesitation.

“Then let me tell you a secret. He’s here to pick you up after class, waiting at the back door right now.”

The little rich girl turned her head at this. Seeing Jiang Qin, she immediately narrowed her eyes and made a cute scissor gesture with a cold expression.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth.

“He really came, this is the first time Jiang Qin waited for you after class right?” Gao Wenhui clicked her tongue softly.

Feng Nanshu turned to look at Gao Wenhui. “It’s not the first time, it’s been three times.”

“Huh? No way, attending combined classes doesn’t count.”

“Then it’s still been three times.”

Gao Wenhui decided not to argue with Feng Nanshu over whether it was three times or two. Because perhaps to her, every time Jiang Qin picked her up after class was precious, so she definitely remembered more clearly than anyone else.

But I didn’t skip class, how could I have missed it twice? What a pity.

When Class 4 was dismissed, Feng Nanshu handed her books to Gao Wenhui while she ran off to the back door to see Jiang Qin.

“Little rich girl, tutor me. I don’t have high requirements, just getting in the top ten of the major is fine. Can you handle it?”

Feng Nanshu was silent for a moment. “Jiang Qin, I don’t seem to have any confidence.”

Jiang Qin was a bit suffocated. “Your serious expression is hurting me…”

“Then I’ll tutor you. You have to listen carefully when I explain, no falling asleep halfway through.”

“Alright, I’ll give you face. Let’s go eat first, then go to the study room.”

“Brother, hold my hand.”

Jiang Qin took a deep breath, gave up struggling, and lightly grasped her little hand, turning to walk out.

However, the two had only walked a few steps when a voice suddenly called out to them from behind.

“Nanshu, you opened a milk tea shop at school right? There are many bonus items for college student entrepreneurship. If you have time, come sign a form for me.”

Class 4’s counselor Xue Hongying stood at the door and called out Feng Nanshu’s name.

“Oh right, call your boyfriend over too.”

Xue Hongying knew that Feng Nanshu’s social skills were lacking. The milk tea shop was more opened by Jiang Qin for her than her opening it herself. So asking Jiang Qin about some issues might be more efficient.

The school valued the title of entrepreneurial college student. Since one appeared in her class, she definitely had to make full use of it. Writing it into the final summary report would greatly benefit her too.

“Jiang Qin, the teacher said good friends need to go together too.”

Feng Nanshu said expressionlessly.

“Teacher Xue is truly a wise person.”

Jiang Qin sighed, feeling like his path was about to be fully taken over by the little rich girl.

When the two arrived at the academic affairs office, Xue Hongying handed Feng Nanshu a form. Besides basic information, there were many boxes. Check if it applied, leave blank if not.

Because the progress and scale of college entrepreneurship projects varied, some credits could be given while others could not.

Some sly students at Linchuan University could barely get basic credits by writing a project proposal and submitting a PPT.

But an actual shop with revenue like the milk tea store was definitely different from those.

While Feng Nanshu was filling out the form, Xue Hongying also asked Jiang Qin for some other information. Some were school requirements, others were things she was personally curious about.

“Jiang Qin, were you and Nanshu high school classmates?”

“Yes, but not in the same class. The relationship was about the same as now.”

Xue Hongying couldn’t help but lower her voice. “Let me gossip a bit. Were you two together in high school? Or got together in college? Who pursued who?”

Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes imperceptibly. “I’ve been preparing very well for the exams. I’m confident I can make it into the top ten of the grade.”

“Who asked you about that? This isn’t high school, the teacher won’t manage your dating. I’m just purely curious.”

“Mm, advanced mathematics is my weakness.”

Xue Hongying could tell this student was too cunning. “How boring.”

Just as they were talking, Feng Nanshu finished filling out the form. Xue Hongying took a look, then passed it to Jiang Qin to see if there was anything to add.

“Hm?”

Jiang Qin’s gaze swept over the form. His expression suddenly froze and his smile gradually faded, replaced by confusion.

This college entrepreneurship bonus form not only had fields to fill in, but also a section for Feng Nanshu’s basic information, with personal details on top and family information below.

However…

Why was the mother field blank?

After reading it, Jiang Qin felt a bit startled, his mind churning.

For basic family information like father and mother, it was impossible to be left out. Even if it was truly overlooked, it was impossible to only fill in the father while uniquely omitting the mother.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

“No problem, this is the basic situation. Sorry for the trouble, teacher.”

Jiang Qin handed the form over imperceptibly and turned to look at Feng Nanshu. Sunlight poured through the window lattice, falling on her, making her whole being lively, pure and beautiful beyond compare.

The little rich girl raised the cat pen, blocking his gaze. “This pen is so cute.”

“It was bought for you to begin with.”

Jiang Qin’s expression returned to normal. “I went to the store to buy a pen. When I saw it, I felt you would definitely like it. Otherwise I wouldn’t spend that damn money. Jiang Zhihua is too much of a swindler, definitely mixing in personal grudges when taking money.”

Feng Nanshu was a bit dumbfounded, feeling these words didn’t sound like something Jiang Qin would say.

Seeing this, Xue Hongying couldn’t help but tsk. In her mind, he buys a pen she likes, yet puts on an act of only thinking about studying in front of me. What a dog!

I’ve discovered everyone is very honest. Once we enter the top 30 of the monthly ticket rankings, no one votes anymore. How shameless!
