Chapter Index

    What is the purpose of selecting the “Study Star” award?

    It is hoped to stimulate students’ enthusiasm for learning, while promoting a good learning atmosphere in the school, and also to encourage and support those who excel in both character and learning.

    How was the first “Study Star” determined, and why didn’t most students know about it?

    For the first selection, we did not make it public to the students, but collaborated with countless experts to conduct it secretly. After three days and three nights of strict screening, we listed the top ten candidates in the entire school, but as you know, there are too many good students at Linchuan University, it was impossible to choose, simply impossible to choose, so when it came to the final evaluation, it was very difficult for each of us to make a decision.

    So how was the champion ultimately produced then?

    Because it was impossible to decide, we finally adopted the most traditional expert voting method, and determined the first “Study Star” Jiang Qin through voting!

    Is there any special background story to this award?

    To be honest, this award was initiated by a female entrepreneur in the retail industry. She never went to college, but was deeply shocked by the rich academic atmosphere of Linchuan University, so she cooperated with the school to establish this award. Because she never went to college, she was rained on, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for others!

    At dusk, a light drizzle fell from the sky, the outside was gloomy, dispelling the heat of the summer.

    At that time, the latest issue of the campus publication published an interview by the campus reporter with Li Huabiao.

    Through the contents of this interview, everyone finally understood the origin and background of the “Study Star”. The parts that didn’t make sense before suddenly made sense.

    Many students couldn’t help but sigh, no wonder no one had heard of the first one, it turned out to be done in secret. As we all know, things done in secret are usually quite impressive.

    Also, only awards conducted in secret can ensure fairness and impartiality of the results, right?

    And that female entrepreneur who got rained on herself (didn’t go to college) yet wanted to hold an umbrella for others, it’s really moving.

    Of course, the most awesome is still the winner of the first “Study Star”, Jiang Qin. His business is booming, who would have thought his studies were also top-notch. Outstanding people are indeed outstanding no matter what they do.

    “Damn, didn’t expect Li Huabiao to be talented too, he can make the dead sound alive.”

    Jiang Qin put down the newspaper, thinking this interview was indeed not bullshit at all.

    He being the first champion was indeed voted out, no problem, and the initiator of this award was indeed a female entrepreneur in retail – the boss of the Academy Supermarket Jiang, also no problem.

    It seems successful people don’t necessarily start out glorious, they can make up for it later. This is really the most impressive operation in history.

    Fake becomes real, he doesn’t even know how crooked his mouth will be when he mentions this “Study Star” thing in the future.

    “So this is the Study Star trophy? It’s quite beautiful. You barely passed each subject, yet you can get a study award, it’s really weird.”

    In the Xitian milk tea shop, Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but touch the gold star on the trophy.

    “Miss Gao, please don’t touch randomly, can you afford it if you dirty it?” Jiang Qin’s mouth was very crooked.

    Gao Wenhui was pissed off by his sarcasm, “I don’t like to touch feet, my hands are definitely much cleaner than yours. You might even have athlete’s foot, yet you have the nerve to dislike me?”

    Feng Nanshu, who was sitting in front of the counter, suddenly blanched, “Wenhui, my feet are very clean, not dirty at all, and no athlete’s foot.”

    “I know, you wash your feet fragrant every day before going to see Jiang Qin, but who knows if he has touched others’, after all, there are so many female employees in 208…”

    Jiang Qin frowned, “Do you feel a bit uncomfortable being able to get your full salary this month?”

    Gao Wenhui suddenly glared at him fiercely, “Even if the salary is deducted, do you dare to swear that besides Feng Nanshu, you haven’t touched anyone else’s feet?”

    “Of course not, I’m not some foot-loving pervert.”

    “So you saw Feng Nanshu as so pure, that’s why you tried every means to ravage her, ruin her? Makes sense, after all, people in the School of Finance think Feng Nanshu is a cold white moonlight, an icy rich beauty. Who would have thought in front of you Jiang Qin, she’s a little cutie whose feet can be played with at will. Must feel quite accomplished, right?”

    Jiang Qin squeezed the milk tea cup flat, “Fuck, that description is even scarier. Why don’t you just treat me as a foot-loving pervert instead.”

    The words “ravage” and “ruin” flashed through Feng Nanshu’s mind. She suddenly raised her little face and said, “Jiang Qin, I want to go to the maple forest.”

    “It’s raining, can’t go today. Let’s wait until the weather clears.”

    “Oh.”

    Gao Wenhui was a bit shocked, “You’ve been to the maple forest? That’s where little couples go to date. Aren’t you good friends?”

    Jiang Qin leaned back on the chair, “We go to the maple forest to review. After all, the exam is coming up soon. As the Study Star, I can’t just have the title in name only.”

    “It’s pitch dark in there, you can’t even see the words in the book. What can you review?”

    “Heh, do I have to tell you that my textbooks are glow-in-the-dark too?”

    Jiang Qin turned his head to look outside. The rainwater had slowly gathered into streams on the marble-paved front square. The red awning above the eaves also started to noisily flow with water, like a door curtain strung with jade beads.

    Just then, his phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Boqing calling to notify him to go to the Teaching Center tomorrow for an interview.

    He said he had already helped Jiang Qin make appointments with all the media who wanted to come interview him, and planned to have him directly accept a joint interview at the school. This way, it wouldn’t delay his review time, and he also wouldn’t have to answer the same questions multiple times. The highlight was the thoughtful consideration.

    Jiang Qin sighed, thinking Dean Zhang was really impatient. The “Study Star” lie had just been rounded out, and he already couldn’t wait to have him show his face.

    “Okay Dean, I understand.”

    “Do you have a suit? It’s best to dress formally and tidy up your hairstyle a bit.” Zhang Boqing reminded.

    The previous interview was for a newspaper, but this time was different. This time it was going to be on TV, so personal image still needed some attention.

    After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qin patted his belly, “I’ve almost trained abs recently. My figure has improved too. I don’t know if my old suit still fits.”

    Feng Nanshu let go of the straw in her mouth and looked at him with an icy face, “Jiang Qin, I want to see.”

    “The suit is in my dorm and hasn’t been dry-cleaned. Plus it’s raining so hard, I can’t go back. Next time.”

    “I don’t want to see the suit. I want to see abs.”

    Jiang Qin froze for a moment, thinking “almost” and “none” meant the same thing. Almost trained abs means they aren’t trained yet.

    But with Jiang Qin’s temperament, he definitely couldn’t admit he didn’t have any. So he said coolly, “I don’t mind showing you. We’re best friends, no need to be polite. But what if Gao Wenhui, an outsider, happens to catch a glimpse?”

    “Then next time when we go review in the maple forest, I’ll sneak a peek.” Feng Nanshu was very clever.

    “It’s pitch dark in the maple forest. What can you see?”

    Feng Nanshu glanced at his belly, “Even if I can’t see, I can touch.”

    Jiang Qin covered his stomach with his hand, “Touching is not okay. Good friends can only look, not touch.”

    “Big brother, just let little sister touch a bit.”

    Gao Wenhui was currently rinsing the juicer’s filter. Hearing the two whispering, she was very disdainful. She thought if Jiang Qin trained abs, she would directly swallow this filter whole without even chewing.

    How long ago was the sports meet? Not even two months, right?

    Even if he soaked in the gym every day, those abs couldn’t possibly be trained just by saying so.

    Feng Nanshu was like this. As soon as she saw Jiang Qin, she would become silly. She didn’t consider the reasonableness of things at all. As long as Jiang Qin said it, even if it was a fantasy, she believed it very much.

    Right at this moment, Jiang Qin’s phone rang again. It was Gu Chunlei from the publicity department, wanting to chat with him about tomorrow’s joint interview, and also listed an outline for him to pick up at the Teaching Center.

    Jiang Qin took an umbrella from the counter, picked up the car keys, and walked towards the Audi across the street.

    Seeing the car drive away, Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but lean towards Feng Nanshu, “Do you really believe Jiang Qin has abs? I think he just wants to trick you into showing him your waistline.”

    “Jiang Qin won’t lie to me.” Feng Nanshu sipped her milk tea.

    Gao Wenhui couldn’t help but tsk twice, “You really are love-brained.”

    “Wenhui, this is my good friend brain.”

    Although Gao Wenhui’s expression was serious, she was very into it, instantly coming up with over a hundred thousand words of novel content.

    It’s said Jiang Qin’s Zhihu is currently running an internet celebrity blogger cultivation plan. Whether good-looking, good at writing, funny, or annoyingly pretentious, as long as one can produce good content, they will receive support in cold hard cash, and also get traffic.

    Then can I also write a novel?

    After all, Gao Wenhui can’t follow them every day to get hooked. Many details still require imagination.

    For example, she had never seen the foot touching thing, but the imagined scene was very intense and wonderful. She even imagined Jiang Qin gnawing on pig feet, but it was too outrageous, she was too embarrassed to say it.

    How could that be possible? Where would there be such a pervert? Hehe.

    But Gao Wenhui felt that writing the imagined things into a novel was indeed a very good idea.

    Half an hour later, Jiang Qin took the interview outline and returned to Xitian, then took the little rich girl to eat, turned around and went back to 207 to study the interview outline.

    He had been interviewed by Linchuan Youth Daily before, but that time, the interview theme was “Youth of the Times”, which was about him. But this time’s interview was desperately focused on group-buy, as if they wouldn’t stop until they promoted group-buy into the world’s number one.

    Jiang Qin didn’t know what consequences this exposure would bring, so he actually wasn’t as relaxed inside as he appeared on the surface.

    “Feng Nanshu.”

    “Hmm?”

    Jiang Qin put down the outline and opened his arms to the little rich girl, “Come let me hug you.”

    Feng Nanshu blinked, and immediately dived into Jiang Qin’s embrace, fragrant, soft and filled with wafting fragrance, almost pressing him down on the sofa.

    Jiang Qin reached out to hold her slender waist, lifted her onto his legs, looked up at her clear bright eyes and perky nose, thinking 207 was really a moral depression. Otherwise, why did he want to hug her so much.
