Chapter 213: A Mouth Full of Feudal Superstition

Jiang Qin admitted he was a country bumpkin who enjoyed feeling smug like a dragon proudly soaring in the sky but today he definitely wasn’t intentionally showing off. He just didn’t want to lose out on those sixteen cups of milk tea.

Male god? Love whoever you want, money is what matters.

After all with promotions coming up, days of burning money were approaching and he only had a bit of pocket change left.

How else could he save some from other people’s pockets?

This was called being thrifty.

Five minutes later, the girls’ milk teas made slurping sounds, clearly emptied, which proved how impressive Gao Dawei’s taro recipe was.

You should know, girls usually only drink half and throw away half their milk tea as if that prevents weight gain. Ones that can make them drink it all in one go are rare.

Back when selecting a store location at Linchuan University of Science and Technology, if it wasn’t for Gao Dawei getting divorced and losing motivation to continue, just based on his signature taro alone, he could probably compete with the traffic magnet Xitian.

“It’s really good.”

“Indeed excellent, no wonder they could open four branches.”

“The texture is so smooth, is silk stocking milk tea even this good?”

Amidst the discussions, Hou Xiangkai stared at Jiang Qin for a long time slowly realizing what happened earlier.

That’s right, he must have done it on purpose, calling himself a second generation rich, living expenses, acting all poor, it was just to get him to buy the milk tea!

Because the milk tea shop was his!

In other words, from the moment he said “Why are you a male god”, he was already digging a pit for him.

Admitting he was awesome, that he was the real rich second gen, it was all a trick to lure the enemy in.

If you don’t directly confront him, he wins.

If you do directly confront him, he profits.

So no matter how impressive you are, even if you bought 32 cups of milk tea to crush him, in the end he still benefits and you have no moves left!

But even realizing this, Hou Xiangkai still couldn’t swallow his anger. I fucking spent money to buy milk tea and in the end you showed off, doesn’t that mean I wasted my money?

“Opening a milk tea shop only costs a bit, tens of thousands? If I wanted to open one I could afford it too!”

Hou Xiangkai spoke with an imposing air, his words full of defiance.

“?”

Jiang Qin turned to glance at him, brows slightly furrowed.

For some reason, now whenever he saw someone trying to show off to him, he’d easily feel like they wanted to treat him to a meal.

Not angry at all, instead quite happy.

Strange…

This was probably a bad habit developed from Cao Guangyu, confusing friend and foe.

But Hou Xiangkai probably had some luck because just as Jiang Qin was about to scam a meal, a call suddenly came.

Wei Lanlan said the contract from Vienna was retrieved with the official seal stamped, now just missing his signature.

“Yu Shasha, thank you for your support today. I have some things to handle at school so I’m heading back first.”

“Ah? Leaving so soon?”

Jiang Qin nodded, taking out his car keys and pressing them, the Audi opposite them flashing its lights.

Instantly, all sounds at the scene ceased and all movements froze.

Under countless watching eyes in this silence, Jiang Qin opened the car door and got in. Before accelerating, he lowered the driver’s window, slowly driving out of the on-campus commercial area, each movement seeming to trample on Hou Xiangkai’s heart.

Only after he slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight did they retract their gazes, staring at each other speechlessly for a while.

Hou Xiangkai’s heart exploded the most, his scalp feeling numb as if struck by lightning, tightening.

If he hadn’t said that last line “tens of thousands, if I want to open I can afford it too”, the suffocating feeling wouldn’t be this intense, but after saying that and seeing that Audi, it was like his butt was on fire, couldn’t even sit still.

“Well… I’m going back to prepare for the match first. Shasha, if you have time you must come watch.”

Hou Xiangkai forced a smile as he tightened his clothes, hurriedly turning into the male dorm area.

As soon as the two guys left, the female university students couldn’t hold back, bombarding Yu Shasha with all sorts of questions.

“He drives an Audi to school?” Tang Li couldn’t believe it.

Yu Shasha nodded: “Yeah.”

Chen Wenfang also couldn’t help widening her eyes: “His family bought him that car?”

Yu Shasha shook her head: “No, he probably earned money himself to buy that car.”

Gu Tiantian directly took a deep breath: “Running milk tea shops makes that much money?”

“He also does business, makes websites. Besides this car and those four milk tea shops, he has four apartments.”

“…”

Seeing her sisters looking dumbfounded, Yu Shasha appeared nonchalant on the surface but inside she was already euphorically dancing, feeling dreamy.

But she didn’t mention the remaining campus beauty competition and group buying deliveries, planning to save that happiness for next time.

Anyway, whether she said it or not it was the same, because just based on what they saw today, they probably already knew what a real male god was like.

At the same time, Jiang Qin returned to Entrepreneurship Base 208, discovering everyone was there Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing waiting for him, each holding two contracts.

“Boss, you’re back?”

“Mm, give me the contracts.”

Jiang Qin sat in his chair, uncapped his pen and signed his name: “How’s the progress with the other bosses? Any developments?”

Tan Qing glanced at Wei Lanlan: “Lanlan had it quite smooth on her end but I ran into some trouble. The boss Wang running the entertainment center is hard to deal with.”

“How is he hard to deal with?”

“He directly rejected me at first, said he wasn’t interested in our project. Later when I called again I couldn’t get through so there was no way to follow up.”

As Tan Qing spoke, he took out the information he collected and Boss Wang’s business card.

The business card also had a keyword written on it: Devout Buddhist.

“Devout Buddhist? Then what do we do, it’s not like we can stake out temples for him right?” Wei Lanlan also saw those two words and couldn’t help asking.

Jiang Qin took out his Nokia, dialing the number on the business card while coughing twice to clear his throat.

Right after, an icy voice came from the other end asking who it was.

“Boss Wang, it’s me, Old Jiang, the one doing the group buying website.”

“You asked who that girl calling before was? She’s my secretary.”

“No, wait a moment Boss Wang, I know you have no intention to cooperate. I originally didn’t plan to bother you again, but there is indeed something I wanted to tell you. Can I take up a few minutes of your time?”

“It’s like this, last night when I was sleeping I dreamed of Buddha. He told me to find you again…”

Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing held their breaths, eyes gradually widening as they watched their boss spouting nonsense, not daring to make a peep.

The others in 208 also put down their work, listening to that superstitious talk, scalps tingling.

A while later, the call ended and Jiang Qin put his phone back in his pocket: “It’s set, Boss Wang said we can meet tomorrow afternoon at 3. Tan Qing and Lanlan go together, bring the project PPT Senior Sister Cao and them made last semester. This boss isn’t easy to deal with so be more meticulous when you speak.”

“Buddha appearing in dreams, that works too?”

Wei Lanlan was completely stupefied: “Boss, you were bullshitting just now right? Boss Wang really believed it?”

Jiang Qin sat in his chair thinking for a bit: “No, he probably didn’t believe it.”

“If he doesn’t believe it why would he still meet us.” Wei Lanlan really didn’t understand.

Jiang Qin glanced at her: “Lanlan, are you superstitious?”

Wei Lanlan very straightforwardly shook her head: “I believe in science.”

“Then you definitely don’t know, people who believe in gods and Buddha like that always have a mentality of ‘better to believe it exists than believe it doesn’t’.”

Jiang Qin picked up his best friend mug to take a sip of water: “So, even if Boss Wang doesn’t believe what I said about Buddha appearing in my dream, he’ll still feel meeting once won’t hurt. Looking at it another way, what if Buddha really did appear in my dream? He’d definitely regret it then, so he’s not believing me, he’s doing it for peace of mind.”

Wei Lanlan more or less understood this mentality now: “Like how you sneak out in the middle of the night to hang wishes on the matchmaker tree?”

“Pffft…”

The water Jiang Qin hadn’t managed to swallow directly sprayed onto his pants.

Seeing this, Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing quickly turned around to grab tissues, pulling out several sheets and handing them over.

“Boss, you okay?”

“I’m fine, accidentally burnt my tongue. You guys don’t mind me, go familiarize yourselves with the project PPT first.”

Jiang Qin casually wiped a few times, shooing the two of them back to their workstations, then putting on a calm front and coughing once as if nothing happened.

This was the basic caliber of being a boss. You can accidentally lose your cool but you absolutely can’t admit it.

“Xuemei, sit up straighter, don’t slouch in your chair while working.”

“?”

Lu Xuemei looked completely lost, thinking I didn’t even do anything, how am I getting called out?

Sitting crooked counts as a reason?

But Lu Feiyu across from her was practically lying flat in his chair. Wasn’t this naked workplace bullying?

At the same time, Jiang Qin capped his mug, opening his computer to search for addresses and information on large pet stores in Linchuan.

He had thought it over carefully. Raising a stray dog wasn’t very safe, better to buy one.

But he had no idea what kind he should get because he never raised a dog before.

In his past life working in Shen City, he was on business trips every few days so taking care of himself was already difficult, let alone being responsible for another life, so he didn’t understand breeds at all.

Jiang Qin searched for a while and decided to personally go check out the pet store. Whichever one he fancied he would buy giving it a life of heavenly riches.
