Chapter 191: Eat What You’re Fed

The rapid emergence of e-commerce will indeed deliver a heavy blow to the retail industry that much is indisputable. But finding the right direction in the tides of the times is no easy task.

Those involved often can’t see clearly which describes this exact situation.

It’s like a fishing boat tossing about on the ocean if you can’t find a lighthouse no matter how long you persevere in the end you’ll still be swallowed by the sea.

But once the direction becomes clear thinking suddenly opens up just like how He Yijun feels now.

Half an hour later the doorbell of the villa rings again. He Manqi runs to open the door and two men and two women come in all carrying briefcases. They don’t even take time to change shoes before heading upstairs to the study.

“Who are those people?”

Jiang Qin asks offhandedly and reaches out to feed Feng Nanshu a small piece of red pepper.

The little rich girl eats it gets the spicy sputters but the next time she’s fed she still dares to eat it.

“Those people are all managers of my family’s mall.”

He Manqi answers in a low voice.

Hearing this Jiang Qin can’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth thinking it’s the weekend and dinnertime to call employees to your own home to research business? This is some damn Boss Zhou behavior!

In this moment Jiang Qin deeply realizes the fact that he himself is a good boss.

Old He is the true capitalist!

But judging from the situation it seems He Yijun was indeed enlightened by him to the point brainstorming alone in the study is not enough he has to pull his subordinates to brainstorm together.

No this won’t do better withdraw quickly.

What if they hit a dead end and run out to ask him for a ready answer?

The free stuff has already been said anything left is paid content. If the little bit in his belly gets leached clean this time what will he use to pinch Old He next time?

“Are you done eating?”

“I’m done.” Feng Nanshu nods obediently.

Jiang Qin picks up both their coats: “Let’s go run.”

“Jiang Qin my mouth is so spicy.”

“You eat whatever I feed you without even a glance this time you’ve learned your lesson right?”

Feng Nanshu calmly opens her mouth: “If you feed me again I still dare to eat.”

In fact Jiang Qin guessed quite correctly He Yijun indeed ran downstairs again to ask questions.

Because with more people there will inevitably be disagreements with disagreements come doubts especially after delving into the line of thinking Jiang Qin provided many uncertainties in the details were also exposed.

But by the time He Yijun ran out only his daughter was left in the dining room.

“Where’s Jiang Qin?”

“Uncle already left he said you would definitely come out to find him and when you did to tell you the remaining content requires a fee.”

He Manqi answers while eating.

He Yijun quietly sighs “fuck” thinking if we’re talking playing mind games even if everyone in the room joined forces they couldn’t beat this kid.

“Manqi in the future invite his girlfriend to our home to play more.”

“Mm I said so Nanshu-jie said our home is really cute and lovely she likes it a lot.”

“?”

He Yijun surveys his three-story villa thinking this is fucking called cute and lovely? What kind of family!

At the same time Jiang Qin has already driven from Donghu Mountain Villas back to Linchuan University and frantically tutored the little rich girl for over an hour. By the time he returns to the dorm the sky is already dark.

As soon as he pushes open the dorm door Cao Guangyu Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao are all hunched over their desks burning the midnight oil their expressions extremely focused.

No choice exams are this weekend no matter how lazy you can’t procrastinate any longer.

Jiang Qin walks to the balcony cracks open the window a bit to let in some air the cold outside air instantly rushes into the room sobering up the three people creeping darkly through the ocean of knowledge.

“Bro Jiang you were out playing mahjong until now?”

“That’s right the senior sister who beat me last time this time I killed her until she was stark naked.” Jiang Qin sits in his chair looking smug.

Ren Ziqiang is stunned for a moment: “You mean annihilated right Bro Jiang how come you don’t even know idioms anymore?”

Zhou Chao turns his head upon hearing this: “Bro Jiang’s mahjong table isn’t an ordinary mahjong table the rule is loser strips stark naked probably isn’t a metaphor.”

Ren Ziqiang looks shocked: “Bro Jiang can I join your mahjong table?”

“You know how to play mahjong? I remember your hometown doesn’t play mahjong right?”

“I can be your assistant.”

Jiang Qin tosses his car keys on the table: “Next time wait until senior sister buys new clothes.”

Zhou Chao gives him a long look: “The exam is tomorrow I advise you to hurry up and review Bro Jiang are you really not afraid of failing?”

“To be honest my brain is completely in shambles right now all I can think about is mahjong not even gods can save me.”

“It’s fine Old Jiang at most you’ll come back to retake it I heard the retake difficulty is especially low no big deal.” Cao Guangyu consoles with a light tone but he himself is frantically cramming in a frenzy.

Jiang Qin looks at him with crossed legs: “Old Cao why don’t we retake it together you don’t need to study either.”

“Actually I’m just casually looking the chance of failing is quite high don’t worry your bro won’t leave you alone.”

“Don’t lie to me you better fail for sure.”

“No problem.”

Cao Guangyu secretly feels a flash of glee and quickly jots down a complicated formula.

Jiang Qin doesn’t believe a word of Old Cao’s bullshit this guy is probably the first to start reviewing in the whole dorm besides himself.

This person is quite sinister just like that one prick in high school before.

Ask him and he knows nothing check him and he’s all correct.

Claims to be unsure of several questions but writes model answers even more standard than the textbook.

But Jiang Qin is now a learned scholar overflowing with talent nearly bursting so he’s not worried at all only looks at Old Cao frantically reviewing with a mocking face.

After a while because the dorm is too quiet Cao Guangyu can’t help turning his head glancing in Jiang Qin’s direction.

“Old Jiang how come you’re not making any noise you’re not reviewing are you?”

“No I’m playing Minesweeper.”

Jiang Qin has his legs crossed clicking around on the screen dying once every three clicks on average.

He’s played this Windows default game several times but just doesn’t know how you’re supposed to play it’s so damn abnormal.

Hearing Jiang Qin isn’t reviewing Cao Guangyu immediately feels relieved consoling Jiang Qin he might not fail while turning back to frantically cram some more.

But the quieter Jiang Qin is the more uneasy he becomes turning his head back every five minutes on average afraid if he’s not careful Jiang Qin will sneakily study a bit. In this state of mind Cao Guangyu finds he can’t absorb anything either.

“Old Jiang don’t be so quiet I’m a bit scared why don’t you watch a TV show? Please?”

“You fucking have too many demands.”

Jiang Qin grumbles but to stabilize him still opens a video site finds something casually and clicks on Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

Three minutes later Cao Guangyu Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao have all gathered around standing behind Jiang Qin watching with great relish.

“Damn college is a magical place I always felt this stuff was quite childish who knew watching it together in the dorm would be pretty interesting.”

Jiang Qin nods: “This is the effect of atmosphere.”

“But speaking of which that Weslie looks a bit like Old Ren.” Zhou Chao says while munching on melon seeds.

Ren Ziqiang: “?”

Early Monday morning F4 heads to the pre-arranged classroom for the exam. Jiang Qin discovers he’s truly awesome answering every question quickly and well.

As for Old Cao and them it’s cram watch Pleasant Goat take the exam rack their brains cram watch Pleasant Goat take the exam again rack their brains again. This regular routine lasts a total of four days. When the last subject is over everyone instantly relaxes.

“Old Jiang I feel like I’ll be retaking with you when we get back from winter break.”

Cao Guangyu says faintly standing in front of the teaching building his expression not seeming fake.

Damn during the exam his mind was full of Weslie Tibbie Paddi Ren Ziqiang it almost cost his life.

“Retake together? That’s not for sure.”

Jiang Qin chuckles with an air of profound mystery.

“Don’t tell me you knew how to do all that stuff on the exam?”

Cao Guangyu’s expression can’t help changing.

“I turned in blank papers for all of it I might get dropped out when I come back Old Cao our brotherhood hasn’t been easy let’s go out for a farewell dinner tonight your treat?”

After saying this Jiang Qin feels quite satisfied with his answer.

On one hand it ensures Old Cao can have a happy New Year on the other he can freeload a meal.

What is EQ?

This is EQ!

Cao Guangyu looks at Jiang Qin’s nonchalant expression always feeling something isn’t right.

He senses he must have been tricked somewhere but can’t find any evidence.

But before Old Cao could agree to treat Jiang Tian took the lead in sending a message to the QQ group saying to gather at Nanshan Restaurant later Lü Guangrong would also come along.

Actually Jiang Qin doesn’t like participating in this kind of chaotic group activity much.

Before too he didn’t really join class gatherings.

But since it’s year end and Old Lü is also going if he doesn’t show up it would seem like he’s putting on airs.

Jiang Qin feels although he’s made money become a boss did well on exams and is even an academic star if he’s too detached from the common folk he’ll miss out on some of the beauty of reliving youth.

So Old Cao who already had a knife to his neck narrowly escapes getting slaughtered this time.

In the deep winter season although the midday sun is ample the chill is still quite biting. The four head out from the dorm to Nanshan Restaurant seeing many students carrying large and small bags preparing to go home on the road.

Seeing this scene F4 all feel an inexplicable sense of loss.

So a semester could pass this quickly before even getting a taste it’s already over.

Looking back on these three months some found a partner some made a career some filled their head with online novels each had their harvest.

Arriving at Nanshan Restaurant the others have all assembled Old Lü is the last to come scanning the private room before sitting beside Jiang Qin.

“Dean Zhang personally inquired about your exam situation afraid you spent too much energy on entrepreneurship but it’s fine I asked the teachers of the first few subjects after reviewing your papers they all said you likely did quite well.”

“I’m accomplishing both academics and career grasping both study and entrepreneurship with one hand not the same as certain people’s last-minute cramming.” Jiang Qin grins.

Zhou Chao: “?”

Ren Ziqiang: “!”

Cao Guangyu: “?!”

The model for Wanzhong Mall is a mall from my hometown super popular when I was little mentioning going to buy things there it definitely meant high-end goods. But later it couldn’t withstand the tides of the times two-thirds has been sold off the remaining third is also half-dead with no one willing to go anymore. Replacing it are all kinds of integrated malls to speak of it is also the tears of the times. Also begging for monthly tickets!!!!!
