Chapter 599: Once Again, Far Ahead

After securing delivery resources and upgrading daily specials, Group-Buy Delivery quickly entered a positive cycle.

High delivery efficiency and quick order acceptance led to more users. More users meant more orders and higher income for riders, attracting even more to join.

Truly flourishing daily.

The phrase “delivery riders earning over ten thousand a month” once trended due to media hype by capitalists to heat up the market.

But after rapid recent growth, coupled with subsidy wars, earning over ten thousand a month is no longer just talk.

Tonight’s Headlines started this month in collaboration with Group-Buy Delivery, hyping up the daily earnings of delivery workers, tempting many.

“Old Jiang, can delivery workers at your place really earn over ten thousand a month?”

“Of course, it’s true. It’s on the news, isn’t it?”

Cao Guangyu spoke while tearing a bun, “Isn’t Tonight’s Headlines yours? Knowing you, I’ve always been skeptical about its news.”

Jiang Qin frowned severely, “Nonsense, the news there is real, never fake, as genuine as I am.”

“Come off it, didn’t Tonight’s Headlines just launch a Wiki section? I searched your name there, and it ridiculously describes you as handsome as Yan.

“Isn’t that the truth?”

Zhou Chao chimed in, “If that’s true, it’s impressive; our classmates who signed for jobs aren’t even near that salary.”

Jiang Qin waved it off, “It’s different, delivery riding is ultimately hard physical work, there’s no time to slack.”

“That’s also true.”

Ren Ziqiang pondered on the word ‘job’, “Bro Jiang, could I work at your company after I graduate?”

Jiang Qin glanced at him, “What, has your delivery spirit ignited? Want a grand robe, hoping for lavish meals thrice daily?”

“Not delivery work, just a proper job, Bro Jiang, I’ll do my best.”

“You want to stay in Linchuan to be with your girl Wang Linlin, right?”

Ren Ziqiang scratched his head embarrassingly, “There’s a bit of that motive.”

Jiang Qin patted his shoulder, “Nothing embarrassing about that, can you accept spending for love over a job?”

“Damn, Bro Jiang, that’s not possible…”

Jiang Qin’s pleasure faded instantly, “Remember the resume you made? Send it to my email later, I’ll forward it to HR. Chao, interested too? We can arrange it together?”

Zhou Chao scratched his head, “I might have to go home after graduating. Bro Jiang, can you keep the offer open?”

Jiang Qin nodded, “Up to you.”

While they talked, Zhang Guangfa came to the window three, passed through the crowded crowd, and sat down with his tray.

He hadn’t pursued postgraduate studies or civil exams and just returned from an internship with noticeably less clarity in his eyes.

“Guangfa, any job plans yet?” asked Ren Ziqiang.

“No rush, it’s only been a few months.”

Ren Ziqiang looked up at him, “Won’t you panic only when it’s graduation and unemployment?”

Zhang Guangfa puffed out his chest, “I’m calm because I’m confident. I’ve been striving since junior year.”

“Nonsense, you dragged us to play cards every day in your junior year!”

“You don’t understand, Ziqiang. You don’t know the blessings you’re in.”

Zhang Guangfa offered a soda, “Boss Jiang, bought too many, have one.”

Ren Ziqiang’s lips twitched, recalling that Guangfa indeed changed drastically after junior year, shamelessly frequenting their dorm for card games.

The whole dorm knew Jiang Qin’s terrible card skills, yet each time he partnered with Zhang Guangfa, he ended up face smothered with stickers.

It seemed from then he began addressing Jiang Qin as Boss Jiang, and it’s become natural now.

Man, this guy is ruthless!

Zhang Guangfa then spoke with a chopstick in hand, “Boss Jiang, I saw your interview yesterday. Are you really not doing e-commerce?”

“Not doing it, I’ve made enough money, found it uninteresting.”

Cao Guangyu’s temples throbbed, “Damn, letting him show off again!”

Zhang Guangfa wiped his face and spoke again, “You’ve lost interest in money. Won’t you be bored after graduating? After all, Cao won’t be around for you to mock.”

Cao Guangyu paused with his chopsticks, “Zhang Guangfa, are you damn polite?”

Jiang Qin set down his chopsticks, “Although I’m granted a research position, I probably won’t stay academically. Besides, accumulating wealth so quickly in my twenties, boredom is expected. But I can still make lively calls, right, young master?”

Cao Guangyu: “…”

The topic Zhang Guangfa opened had Jiang Qin deep in thought instantly.

When he was reborn, he thought of chasing trends to get rich without working, and now he has almost achieved it.

Had he thought about what to do with the wealth then?

Yes.

His thought was, once rich, to terribly mistreat and dominate women, to fully embody a jerk!

Who wouldn’t be a jerk with money!

But now, this grand and noble ideal seems unattainable. Little rich girl seems oblivious, but handling her jealousy isn’t easy.

“You guys carry on eating, I have to go. Feng Nanshu’s stomach is a bit upset. I’ll get her some millet porridge.”

Jiang Qin pulled out his meal card and headed to the porridge counter.

Young master Cao, watching his departing figure, slowly spoke, “I bet Old Jiang won’t be bored after graduating because within a year, Feng Nanshu will definitely be pregnant. Then he’ll be too busy to bother me.”

“No way, he and Feng Nanshu have been just friends for four years,” Zhang Guangfa couldn’t help interjecting.

“You listen to him bluff. These days, he’s returned with a jacket tied around his waist, tying from the front even.”

Young master Cao seriously said, “Once they graduate and are together more often, it’ll be unstoppable. Guangfa, you mightn’t know, but Jiang Qin has already bought a marriage home.”

Zhou Chao also couldn’t help nodding, “And Bro Jiang is a daughter slave.”

Zhang Guangfa was stunned, “He doesn’t have kids yet, how do you know he’s a daughter slave?”

“At a previous dorm night talk, Cao asked when he wanted kids, a boy or a girl. Jiang said although he and Feng are just friends, he wanted a daughter.”

“Then what?”

“Cao then asked if having a daughter looking like Feng, a mini-version of the rich girl, would make him happy.”

Zhou Chao speaking, suddenly pinched his mouth into an M-shape, “Jiang’s lips were just like this.”

Zhang Guangfa mimicked, “What’s this expression?”

“Lips couldn’t keep back, every facial muscle wanting to curl wildly, but his iron mouth wouldn’t move.”

“…”

Zhou Chao put down his chopsticks and spoke again, “After that topic, he talked in his sleep that night, kept calling out sweetly, ‘Daddy,’ all night long.”

Zhang Guangfa was dumbfounded, thinking how exciting your dorm nights must be!

Meanwhile, Jiang Qin left the cafeteria, carrying millet porridge to the girls’ dorm, greeted the aunty, and strolled to the rich girl’s door.

Due to the overcast weather, the dorm was dark, no one around, just a dazed little rich girl looking a bit wilted, wearing a relaxed bear nightgown, leaning on the desk looking at a photo frame of them together.

She was sick due to the temperature changes between the seasons, catching a cold.

It was also a bit Jiang Qin’s fault, not caring about the cold, sneaking in single-handedly, fishbone dissolved, the past few days of rain and wind without catching a cold would be weird.

Jiang Qin reached out, touching her forehead, “Not too hot.”

Feng Nanshu seeing him brightened up a bit, “Brother.”

“What’s up?”

“I’m pregnant.”

“?”

Feng Nanshu pointed to the empty bed opposite, “Gao Wenhui said so. She even felt my belly, said little Jiang Qin kicked her. I almost believed her.”

Jiang Qin’s face darkened, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. How could you be pregnant without an appointment?”

Little rich girl puffed her cheeks, looking at his plastic bag, “What’s that?”

“Bought you some millet porridge, you couldn’t eat, right? Drinking some should help.”

“I want to drink.”

Jiang Qin opened the lid for her, pulled over Gao Wenhui’s chair and sat nearby, watching her finish the porridge.

The sick little rich girl was a bit more delicate than usual, not very energetic, wanted to snuggle into his arms after drinking the porridge, like a lazy little cat.

Yet just as he closed his eyes, the dorm door was pushed open. Wang Haini had been out and came back complaining about the sudden rain soaking her clothes, then began to undress.

Jiang Qin immediately coughed as a reminder, and the sudden male voice startled her.

With the lights off and the dim environment, Wang Haini only then saw Jiang Qin in the dorm, holding a sleepy Feng Nanshu.

“Scared me to death, almost gave a bargain to Boss Jiang!”

Jiang Qin glanced up, showing a disdainful smile, “Heh, hardly a bargain.”

Wang Haini’s face immediately fell, then she bent down looking at Feng Nanshu, “Cold not better yet?”

“Still a bit dizzy.”

“Who told you to always go out with Boss Jiang? Satisfied now?”

Feng Nanshu nestled in Jiang Qin’s arms and hummed, “Would still go if able.”

Just as they were talking, Gao Wenhui also returned, not yet inside she began shouting, “Nanshu, feeling any better?”

“No. Don’t undress coming in, don’t give my brother a bargain.”

“?”

Gao Wenhui pushed the door open seeing Jiang Qin, “Boss, I saw on the news, delivery riders earning over ten thousand. When will you raise my salary?”

Jiang Qin looked at her expressionlessly, “To speak so rudely upon meeting, you have no manners. Miss Gao, you’ll have a hard time getting married.”
