Chapter 188: I’m Face Blind

For the next three days, Jiang Qin kept studying with the little rich girl gradually regaining the feeling of being a good student and memorizing about 70-80% of the key material.

To avoid making his roommates feel guilty he had to pretend to have gone out to play all day every day.

Although it was tiring at least he reaped a double harvest of knowledge and friendship.

Damn, this is what you call emotional intelligence!

Early Friday morning the sunlight shone onto the balcony first waking up Zhou Chao who was closest to the window.

He crawled out from under the covers half sitting up rubbing his eyes and when he was fully awake suddenly discovered Jiang Qin was already fully dressed even holding papers books and a pen.

“Jiang bro you’re going out to play again this afternoon?”

“Yeah, going to play mahjong.”

“Didn’t you just go play mahjong yesterday?”

“Yesterday I lost my underpants to a senior sister. Today I must win them back. Otherwise I dare not imagine what scary things the senior sister will do with my underpants.”

Jiang Qin spouted nonsense his main approach was to blabber nonstop.

Zhou Chao was just about to lie back down but felt a little uneasy. “Then why did you bring textbooks?”

“The leg of the mahjong table at the water bar is broken. I’m bringing them to prop up the table.”

“But the subject you brought the other day wasn’t this one right? There’s a trick to this too?”

“I have to try every subject. So far advanced math gives me the best luck when propping up table legs. I have to use it again today. I’ll definitely win back senior sister’s underpants.”

“If you put it that way I’m relieved. As long as you’re not secretly studying it’s fine. Let’s order group meals!”

Zhou Chao instantly lost his sense of guilt. As soon as his head hit the pillow and his little eyes closed he was off to a warm breezy nap.

Jiang Qin changed shoes and quietly closed the dorm room door not waking a single fish-loving soul.

He absolutely wasn’t the kind of person to study secretly behind his roommates’ backs but the three goods in the dorm were simply hopeless cases that couldn’t be helped.

Last time he called them twice not only did they not go that night when they came back they had to ask how much you studied. They had to hear you say you didn’t learn anything to sleep well. Their psychology was twisted to no end.

He was also very helpless. He could only study quietly and shock everyone at the end of term.

Coming from the male dorm to 208 Feng Nanshu was already sitting in his huge boss chair waiting for him. She was leaning over the desk her fair jade-like fingers fiddling with the sticky notes on the computer her long curled lashes seeming golden in the sunlight.

Next to her arm a pink and white best friend cup nestled against a blue and white best friend cup looking like a match made in heaven.

Jiang Qin leaned his shoulder against the doorframe standing at the entrance silently watching for a while.

Time to study again. Simply too joyful.

Looks like what the high school teacher said was right. It’s not that studying is too hard but that you didn’t use the right method. Once you use the right method studying is definitely an addictive thing.

“Little rich girl what are we studying today?”

“Today I’m going to help you review what you learned yesterday.”

Jiang Qin casually pulled over a chair to sit accidentally kicking the little rich girl’s stockinged calf.

Feng Nanshu’s lashes trembled slightly. “Jiang Qin you kicked me like this at the Jizhou library too.”

“Can’t help it. My legs are too long. Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt. Have you kicked others like this too?”

“No you’re the only one.”

In the afternoon Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona from the University of Science and Technology came by.

The main purpose of their visit this time was to report on work. After all it was the end of the year and some work needed reporting. They also came to hear about the boss’s arrangements for the next year.

Jiang Qin was eating lunch with Feng Nanshu in the cafeteria so he had Dong Wenhao take them around 208 first.

“Dong ge how come you guys even have snacks here? There’s even fruit. The benefits are too good.”

“That’s not a company benefit. Those are all privately bought by the boss’s wife to reward us.”

“If only our boss’s wife was a student at the University of Science and Technology.” Lai Cunqing’s eyes were full of envy.

Ding Qiaona who joined the team halfway was a bit surprised and couldn’t help but ask “We have a boss’s wife too?”

Dong Wenhao nodded. “Of course. That Xitian shop downstairs is opened by our boss’s wife. Otherwise why would 502 have free afternoon tea every day?”

“Oh so that’s how it is. No wonder last time when I went to Xitian wearing my work badge that manager refused to take my money. So it’s this kind of relationship.”

One of Ding Qiaona’s questions was answered but she immediately had another one. “Is our boss’s wife good-looking?”

“The ceiling of beauty.” Dong Wenhao smirked.

Ding Qiaona was stunned for a moment. “Could it be that our boss’s wife is Chu Siqi?”

Dong Wenhao had a face full of question marks. “Who’s Chu Siqi?”

“Isn’t Chu Siqi Linchuan University’s top campus belle? The ceiling of beauty who else could it be but her?”

“Oh that’s because our boss’s wife’s beauty is too powerful. After she enters no one else can compete so the boss hid her early not letting her participate otherwise those campus belles would lose all fighting spirit.”

Ding Qiaona herself was also the 4th campus belle of the University of Science and Technology. She had seen Chu Siqi’s appearance in event photos before and indeed she was very beautiful. But if Chu Siqi’s face couldn’t compare to the boss’s wife in front of her how beautiful must the boss’s wife be?

But very quickly Ding Qiaona understood.

Perhaps it was precisely because she was the boss’s wife. Dong ge could be considered a minister close to the emperor. He definitely had to flatter.

How does that saying go? Wear through a thousand things but don’t wear through flattery.

This was the so-called workplace.

Just as they were speaking Jiang Qin arrived at the door. “What are you guys talking about?”

“Boss you’re back. Where’s the boss’s wife?”

Jiang Qin stretched lazily and sat in the boss chair. “Her best friend is working part-time at Xitian so she went over there to play. Old Lai Qiaona find a place to sit.”

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona pulled over chairs to sit beside him. “Boss the group-buying business has stabilized. Every day there are 40 to 60 thousand in sales.”

“I heard about this. I didn’t expect the consumption potential of the University of Science and Technology to be so big even surpassing Linchuan University. It’s really a bit unexpected.”

“It’s mainly because the early marketing plan was very precise. We hardly had to spend much effort.”

Jiang Qin nodded. “Next year in early spring we must quickly eat up the markets of the University of Technology and Normal University. To speed up the pace the tentative plan is to do both sides together so your team will have to independently take charge of a whole university. I’m telling you in advance hoping you’ll make sufficient mental preparations.”

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona’s expressions instantly turned serious. “By a whole university you mean from the campus belle competition to the later group-buying promotion?”

“Yes the whole process.”

“We…”

“Don’t tell me you don’t have confidence.”

“We have confidence.”

Jiang Qin nodded in satisfaction. “I’ll have Wenhao send you the previous marketing plans. Refer to the promotion at Linchuan University and the University of Science and Technology. Use the winter break to think about how to do it.”

Lai Cunqing took a deep breath. “Then which university are we specifically in charge of?”

“The University of Technology. That school is closer to you so it’s more convenient to go back and forth.”

“But we don’t have a proper marketing team yet. Can we transfer over a team from Sister Lanlan or Sister Tan Qing?”

When they were promoting to the University of Science and Technology before the marketing team leader was Wei Lanlan. A large portion of the team was veterans from Linchuan University. After the team withdrew from Linchuan University the marketing team members all entered other teams so this team was a bit nominally alive but actually dead.

In addition later group-buying promotions didn’t need the marketing team so up to now the team at the University of Science and Technology still had a sizable business gap.

It was Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona’s first time taking the lead. The first point of concern was the issue of manpower.

Because if they were to be fully responsible for a university the marketing team would be like the trailblazer. Without it it would be like a tiger without teeth.

“I can have Lanlan transfer a few people to you but not those two. After the new year we’ll have bigger moves. We’re going to do a group-buy to store service. They’re already making early preparations.”

“Then let’s go back and recruit new people.”

“You can but don’t have too many people.”

After Jiang Qin finished speaking Lai Cunqing fell into thought while Ding Qiaona stared at Jiang Qin curiously for a long time.

“Qiaona do you have any other questions?”

“Boss is our boss’s wife very beautiful?”

Jiang Qin was stunned after hearing this. “Oh you joined later so you haven’t seen her yet right?”

Ding Qiaona nodded. “But I just asked Dong ge. Dong ge said the boss’s wife is the ceiling of beauty.”

“I don’t know. I’m face blind. I really can’t tell who’s beautiful and who’s not.”

“Oh.”

Ding Qiaona responded faintly feeling the possibility of Dong Wenhao flattering was a bit greater.

In the blink of an eye it was evening time to eat.

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona specially ran over from the University of Science and Technology to report. As the boss how could he not even treat a meal?

Thus Jiang Qin had Dong Wenhao go book a table at Nanshan Restaurant first. He also called Su Nai telling her to call Wei Lanlan Tan Qing and Lu Xuemei over together.

Leaving 208 they arrived at the front square.

Under the winter night the front square’s lights were all on. The coming and going students were endless. It looked like it had a Korean drama atmosphere.

Jiang Qin had them wait at the intersection. He himself ran to Xitian to ask the little rich girl if she wanted to come eat together. He also ridiculed the clumsy Gao Wenhui a few times to take revenge for her pretending to be Feng Nanshu last time.

“Qiaona do you know half a year ago this square didn’t even have three customers? The shops all closed at 8 o’clock because there was no business and it wasted electricity.”

Lai Cunqing took out a cigarette smoking as he spoke.

“I know. Although I came late I’ve heard a lot about the boss’s deeds. Also after meeting the boss I feel I’ll never meet a person who surprises me again in this life.”

As Ding Qiaona was speaking she suddenly saw the boss leading over a girl as cold and clear as moonlight with perfect features and a completely aloof appearance simply a peerless beauty in the mortal world.

Oh no she spoke too soon…

She encountered another person who surprised her.

Ding Qiaona’s gaze froze slightly her eyes gradually narrowing. She suddenly discovered the boss and this aloof beauty were holding hands.

This was the boss’s wife?

Damn how shameless was this boss finding a boss’s wife like this and still daring to say he was face blind?
