Chapter 53: Jiang Qin Pales in Comparison
by xennovelHalf an hour later, the trio arrived at a printing factory called Shengshi Advertising based on the address.
It was one of the largest printing factories in Linchuan with complete equipment and various styles. They also had the advertising fans that Jiang Qin wanted to make, which came in several different types.
People working in factories all had a bit of an eye. Seeing a Bentley drive in, someone immediately dropped what they were doing to call the person in charge.
The factory manager didn’t dare neglect them and hurriedly ran out to warmly receive Jiang Qin, even inviting him to tour the workshop.
He felt he must have encountered a major client.
After all, someone who came in a Bentley had to be a big customer, right?
Asking about the price, a round fan was one yuan each and a folding fan was two to five yuan each, with discounts for large quantities.
Linchuan University had around 60,000 undergraduate students. Jiang Qin thought for a bit and decided to first order 10,000 round fans to test the waters. He wouldn’t consider folding fans as the cost was too high and they were easier to break than round fans.
Moreover, promotion couldn’t just be based on imagination. You might think people wouldn’t throw away the fans, but that wasn’t necessarily the case. So there had to be a balance between ideals and reality, and the quantity of the first batch shouldn’t be too large.
“Jiang Qin, the folding fans are pretty.”
Feng Nanshu picked up a sample folding fan, opened it to cover her face, revealing only her clear and lively eyes.
Jiang Qin’s breath hitched slightly, suddenly getting the beauty of a half-hidden face behind a lute.
This girl was simply too out of bounds. Could a folding fan be as pretty as her no matter how nice it was?
At the same time, Uncle Gong stood by the Bentley with his hands clasped in front, watching his young miss trailing after Jiang Qin. His eyes couldn’t help but turn a bit complex.
He had never seen the young miss this happy before.
Perhaps what the second madam said was right. It would be best for the young miss to marry an ordinary man and never get caught up in those endless disputes again.
……
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was scorching.
A large group of students poured out of the main entrance of the Comprehensive Building in Zone A.
Walking at the very front were Song Qingqing, Jiang Tian, Pan Xiu and a few other girls, with Xu Junli, a long-haired boy with a center part, beside them as the head of the Student Council Publicity Department.
Trailing behind them were a dejected Ren Ziqiang, a cursing Cao Guangyu, and a pouting, dissatisfied Zhou Chao.
They were all candidates who had just finished their Student Council interviews and were now planning to go to the cafeteria to eat.
“You all did great in your interviews today. Joining the Student Council is basically not a problem. The follow-up application forms need to be submitted to the department teachers. As soon as there’s news, I’ll notify you.”
“Our School of Finance is one of the largest schools at Linchuan University, with five top majors and five key majors, so the Student Council has a lot of power. Many people rack their brains wanting to get in. Your choice is definitely a wise one. However, in previous years, there have been cases of people with very good interview scores being eliminated. But don’t worry, I’ll put in a good word with the Dean of Academic Affairs.”
Xu Junli clasped his hands behind his back, full of airs as he spoke ambiguously, hinting at one thing between the lines.
There were many benefits to joining the Student Council, but the competition was fierce. However, rest assured, as a heroic and confident senior, he had a lot of say in the Student Council.
Upon hearing this, the few girls standing nearby immediately developed some beautiful admiration for this mature, elegant and confident senior.
“Senior, that watch on your hand looks really nice.” Song Qingqing suddenly spoke up at this time.
Xu Junli smiled faintly and casually rolled up his sleeve. “Longines, a relatively affordable watch brand. It cost 15,000 yuan when I bought it.”
“15,000 yuan just for a watch?” Pan Xiu looked shocked.
Song Qingqing gave her a slightly arrogant glance. “People with money don’t care about the price at all, only whether they like it or not.”
Xu Junli lightly nodded. “Student Song is correct. The most important thing is liking it. If it’s something I have my eye on, even if the price doubles, I’ll still buy it.”
“Double would be 30,000 yuan? Senior, your family background must be quite good, right?”
“It’s alright. We just opened a few chain supermarkets, a hotel, and two cafes.”
Pan Xiu’s little mouth formed an O shape, her eyes shining.
These days, being handsome was already very deadly. Being handsome, having good taste, and having money – this was definitely a campus male god.
Ren Ziqiang had his ears pricked up listening to their conversation and finally couldn’t help snorting coldly at this point.
He had come to the interview with Pan Xiu, originally wanting more opportunities to interact and increase their feelings. Who knew that all of Pan Xiu’s attention would be attracted by this guy surnamed Xu.
So what if his family had some money? What was so amazing about that?
Cao Guangyu also had an annoyed expression. He considered himself a wealthy second generation of Hangcheng and hated it the most when people acted rich in front of him.
Longines? Showing off a 15,000 yuan watch, hmph!
Zhou Chao was even more unhappy. Having an unfamiliar guy of the same sex show off in front of him was already unpleasant, let alone that he was also trying to hook up with girls from their class.
“Freaking senior, just pretending.” Ren Ziqiang suddenly muttered.
Cao Guangyu nodded in agreement. “That watch of his was deliberately exposed. Who walks around with their arm raised if they’re not smoking?”
Zhou Chao sighed. “I miss Brother Jiang. Although Brother Jiang also occasionally puts on a bit of an act, at least he does it naturally without leaving any traces, without being annoying!”
“Yeah, it would be great if Old Jiang was here to give him a face full of spittle!”
This matter was strange to say. The three of them clearly knew that Jiang Qin’s family background was very ordinary, that he didn’t have any brand-name watches, and even his phone was a model discontinued three years ago. But they subconsciously felt that Jiang Qin could suppress this guy surnamed Xu.
Cao Guangyu might usually act unruly and disobedient towards Jiang Qin, but even he had to agree with this view at this time.
At the same time, Song Qingqing and Pan Xiu changed positions and lightly hooked their arms with Jiang Tian’s. “How does it feel?”
“How does what feel?” Jiang Tian looked completely lost.
“Guys from non-ordinary families. Jiang Qin pales in comparison to him, right?”
Jiang Tian couldn’t help but laugh and cry. “You’re still thinking about last night’s topic?”
Song Qingqing couldn’t help sneering. “Didn’t you say Jiang Qin doesn’t seem like a guy from an ordinary family? Now that you’ve seen a real wealthy second generation, how do you feel? Still think he’s not ordinary?”
“I was talking about his temperament, okay?”
“Temperament? So you think the senior wearing a brand-name watch has less temperament than Jiang Qin?”
Jiang Tian sighed, regretting bringing up the topic of Jiang Qin last night. “Yes, you’re right. Satisfied?”
Song Qingqing immediately showed a triumphant expression. “So that Jiang Qin is just putting on airs. Compared to a real wealthy second generation, he’s completely exposed.”
“Qingqing, you can’t always be picking at Jiang Qin’s faults just because you suffered a loss in front of him.”
“I’m not. It’s a fact that his family background is ordinary. Is it wrong to speak the truth?”
