Chapter Index

    Linchuan’s ground promotions continued to deepen with increasing coverage area and merchants joining.

    Especially on weekends the efficiency was incredible.

    Currently, as soon as you entered the city proper, you could basically see the group-buy posters plastered on the glass of street-facing merchants.

    Going from nothing to something is a difficult and long process but going from something to really something is incredibly fast.

    To further accelerate efficiency, in addition to University of Science and Technology who took over ground promotions first, Linchuan University, University of Technology and Normal University also successively received notices of two-way cooperation to assist the Marketing Department with ground promotions.

    Of course, as the promotion area expanded, more problems gradually emerged. Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing were extremely busy this weekend, going from visiting the Marketing Department every two days to taking turns going every day.

    Additionally, the task facing Room 208 was not easy either.

    According to Jiang Qin’s plan, once the Linchuan promotions came to an end, the cross-provincial promotion plan for Zhihu needed to be figured out.

    This plan involved many aspects including forum optimization, cultivating internet celebrity bloggers, integrating the education records system, enhancing social attributes – none of which were simple.

    So as soon as night fell, Jiang Qin started taking non-stop calls.

    The promotion areas for University of Technology and Normal University needed to be determined.

    The optimization direction on Su Nai’s side needed to be determined.

    The internet celebrity blogger cultivation plan drafted by Dong Wenhao leading the content team also needed to be finalized.

    In addition, some media with keen sense of smell seemed to have caught the scent. Using information from the Administration for Industry and Commerce, they contacted Room 208 wanting to interview Jiang Qin.

    “University of Technology will proceed westward as planned to join the third group from the Marketing Department. Normal University will proceed eastward to join the second group from the Marketing Department.”

    “…”

    “Su Nai, don’t rush to make an overall plan on your side. Let’s focus on one key point first – simplifying the video upload process. Solve this first. If you need funds, go to Xu Yu for approval.”

    “…”

    “Wenhao, I read your proposal and it’s very well written. I have a suggestion – why don’t we make use of those campus beauties we selected and cultivate them into top internet celebrities, like the magnanimous Zhang Zixuan?”

    “…”

    “Linchuan TV’s lifestyle program wants to do a feature interview with me? Getting handsome enough to be on TV so quickly, that’s not good, is it?”

    Before taking the calls, Jiang Qin had been playing cards with his classmates. Others were watching TV, bragging, playing truth or dare – the whole room was lively and bustling.

    But whenever a call came in, everyone couldn’t help but hush. The TV would be muted too.

    “Chun, are you thirsty? Do you want water or coke?” Zhuang Chen walked over carrying a glass of water and a bottle of coke.

    Jian Chun immediately put her finger to her lips, “Shh, don’t talk first. Jiang Qin is on the phone.”

    “…”

    Actually, they kept quiet not for Jiang Qin’s convenience in taking calls, because to avoid disturbing everyone, he would always go out to the hallway to answer.

    The reason they stopped talking, muted the TV, and secretly opened the door was purely out of curiosity about the content of Jiang Qin’s calls and the daily work status of the group-buy boss.

    Especially the girls present – who hadn’t read a few domineering CEO novels?

    Jiang Qin’s few calls had the tone of ordering nuclear missiles to be fired as birthday fireworks for his girlfriend, completely fulfilling all their fantasies of a domineering CEO.

    Particularly that last call saying the TV station wanted to interview him – the Mary Sue flavor was shooting through the roof.

    “Damn it, this is too much posturing. I can’t take it!”

    Zhang Guangxu cursed and pulled out two tissues to stuff in his ears.

    Hearing this, Zhuang Chen couldn’t help glancing at him and also silently gritted his back molars.

    He felt coming to Linchuan for college might be the most mistaken decision of his life. You encountered someone who outdid you in everything, posturing in your face every day – it made you want to die.

    The most crucial part was that this posturing guy had the girl you liked completely enchanted.

    “Is it really that impressive? Let him make his calls, we’ll play our game.”

    Jian Chun couldn’t help pursing the corner of her mouth, “One of his calls could represent a decision worth millions.”

    “That’s too exaggerated, right? Millions? If he can earn one million that would already be impressive.” Zhuang Chen wasn’t convinced.

    Jian Chun couldn’t be bothered to retort. She hugged her legs and looked at Jiang Qin with yearning eyes like the other girls.

    “That’s my big teddy bear…”

    Seeing the envious gazes of those girls, Feng Nanshu’s expression turned even more aloof. She felt a strong urge to eat dumplings.

    By 11pm, everyone started to disperse. After all, they still had to go hiking tomorrow. Staying up too late wasn’t good either.

    Jiang Qin also turned off his phone. He felt coming out for a vacation but still having to handle work matters over the phone didn’t feel like a holiday at all.

    However, when the sun rose as usual the next morning, Jiang Qin was still awakened by the sound of a phone ringing.

    His mind was dazed, thinking I clearly turned it off, damn it. Then with eyes closed, he reached towards the sound source and groggily pressed the answer key.

    “Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Sorry, my English is not good…”

    “J-Jiang Qin?!” Gao Wenhui’s voice full of surprise came from the other end.

    “Oh, it’s little Gao? Calling at 7am in the morning huh, you better have something important!”

    Gao Wenhui’s voice was trembling, “I should be the one asking you that. I clearly dialed Feng Nanshu’s number!”

    Jiang Qin paused, turned to look and saw a fairy-like young girl sleeping beside him, curled up in the blankets, breathing evenly. The morning light from the window illuminated her delicate lashes, breathtakingly beautiful.

    Last night, Feng Nanshu drank half a bottle of beer and got incredibly energetic. She still wanted to watch TV and refused to leave Jiang Qin’s room.

    He had originally been accompanying the little rich girl in watching TV. At some point, he fell asleep. It seemed the little rich girl also didn’t leave last night and directly slept beside him.

    Jiang Qin yawned and lifted the phone back to his ear, “Feng Nanshu’s charger broke. She left her phone here last night to charge. Alright, that’s it then!”

    He hung up, got up to wash his face in the bathroom, then exercised his abs for half an hour. By the time he returned, Feng Nanshu had woken up and was looking at him in a daze.

    “Jiang Qin, how come you’re sleeping in my room?”

    “Falsely accusing again. Clearly you’re the one sleeping in my room. Besides, the sun is already high in the sky. Hurry and wash your face. I’ll take you out for breakfast.”

    “Where is the sun high?” Feng Nanshu looked foolishly dazed.

    Jiang Qin didn’t bother answering this question. He reached out, pulled the little rich girl up and sent her to the bathroom.

    After washing up, Jiang Qin went next door to get Feng Nanshu’s backpack, then went out for a stroll, giving her ten minutes to change clothes.

    He then went back to accompany her in brushing teeth before preparing to go eat.

    The dorms for Finance Class 3 were assigned based on room number, so Jiang Qin’s diagonal was Zhou Chao and next to Zhou Chao was Cao Guangyu.

    As luck would have it, just as Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu walked out of the room, Cao Guangyu also happened to open his door and come out.

    “Morning, old Cao.”

    “Y-you two aren’t just good friends?”

    “Yeah, we’re going for breakfast now. See you later.” Jiang Qin led Feng Nanshu and sauntered out the door, completely ignoring the other party’s strange look.

    Cao Guangyu stared blankly at their departing figures for a long time, then rushed to Ding Xue’s door, “Ding Xue, we need to hurry. My neighbors across the hall who are good friends are about to have a baby!”

    “Get lost. Go check what’s for breakfast. I’m hungry!” Ding Xue’s voice penetrated the door, full of the vigor to charge up Jinggangshan to fight tigers.

    “Stinking wench, I’m going, I’m going!”

    By the time Class 3 finished breakfast one after another, it was already almost 10am. Then those who wanted to hike went hiking while those unwilling went back to their rooms for another nap.

    On the way back, everyone turned on their phone Bluetooth and started transferring photos to each other.

    The warm guy Zhuang Chen was holding the laptop he brought, inserting the SD card to read the photos from the camera and copying them to Jian Chun’s memory card.

    Actually, half of his actions were for show, because as soon as he returned to his room last night, he had copied the photos from the camera, used PS to pull a curve to brighten his own skin tone and select Jiang Qin’s face to pull a curve to darken his skin tone.

    When Jian Chun flipped through the photos, her impression of him would definitely be a fair creamy-skinned guy with outstanding temperament while her impression of Jiang Qin would definitely be a dirty black coal.

    “Hm, Chun, your memory seems to be full.”

    “I’ve been using this memory card for a semester and took many photos. It’s about time it got full.”

    Zhuang Chen scratched his head, “Then what to do? We took quite a lot of photos this time. Do you have a new card?”

    Jian Chun shook her head, “No new cards.”

    “Then should we delete some old photos?”

    “No, those photos are my precious memories. If deleted, I can’t get them back.”

    “Then what to do?”

    Jian Chun pursed the corner of her mouth, “Zhuang Chen, copy the photos of Jiang Qin and me in first. You can email me the photos of the two of us.”

    Hearing this, Zhuang Chen’s heart suddenly tightened as if struck by a heavy hammer on his chest, “You don’t seem to have a computer, right? If I email them to you, you also can’t see them.”

    “It’s fine. Storing them in email also won’t lose them. I can look at them later.”

    “Why don’t I email you the photos of you and Jiang Qin and save the photos of us on the card? It’s the same either way.”

    Jian Chun immediately refused, “No, I want to look at the photos of Jiang Qin and me tonight.”

    “Wh-what do you want to look at his photos for?” Zhuang Chen couldn’t help swallowing.

    “Nothing much, just to look. I also want to send them to Qingqing and Jiang Tian. Hurry and help me, thanks Zhuang Chen.”
