Chapter 68: Transfer Department Application
by xennovelIn the afternoon, military training ended.
Jiang Qin had just returned to the dorm from the field when he received a call from Su Nai before his butt even touched the bench. She said they were eating at Nanshan Restaurant and asked if he wanted to come over.
Jiang Qin agreed, thinking that Su Nai was quite thoughtful. Even while eating delicacies, she didn’t forget her boss. She was indeed going further down the right path.
But the next second, Su Nai’s words made his smile disappear.
“Boss, we’ve spent all the funds. Remember to bring your wallet to bail us out!”
“Su Nai, why is your path sometimes wide and sometimes narrow?”
“?”
After changing clothes and arriving at Nanshan Restaurant, Jiang Qin looked around for people. He didn’t find Su Nai but unexpectedly ran into Si Huiying from the law department.
She was eating with three men and two women. Seeing Jiang Qin, she was also stunned, her chopsticks suddenly suspended in midair.
Jiang Qin’s eyes were indifferent, without any extra expression. As if he didn’t know them, he walked straight inside. Unexpectedly, he was directly stopped by Si Huiying.
“Jiang Qin, long time no see.”
“…”
Seeing he didn’t say anything, Si Huiying spoke on her own, “I’m really sorry about what happened before. I didn’t understand clearly. Later I heard the whole story from Huiru and realized how absurdly wrong I was. Can you forgive me?”
Jiang Qin lightly nodded, “Forget it, let’s not mention the past anymore. I was too lazy to explain at the time and it’s not worth holding a grudge now.”
“Okay, did you come alone? We Class 2 committee members from the law department just happened to gather. Want to join us?”
After hearing this, Jiang Qin held his breath, but Si Huiying immediately added, “Don’t worry, Siqi didn’t come. She’s not a committee member. It’s just us at this table.”
“Oh, that’s fine then.”
Jiang Qin instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He was now severely allergic to the little fairy, especially when he heard sentences like “I won’t allow you to do this or that” or “What I say goes”. The fear in his heart would directly rush to his head.
However, just as the two were talking, the class monitor of Law Class 2 suddenly stood up from the side, “You’re Jiang Qin, right? Hello, I’m Liu Xi.”
“?”
Jiang Qin was slightly stunned, thinking this guy was quite enthusiastic, greeting even someone he didn’t know. But Liu Xi’s next sentence made his scalp start to go numb.
“I’m also pursuing Chu Siqi.”
“What are you saying? Don’t, absolutely don’t. I’m creeped out.”
“????”
Liu Xi was a bit stunned, thinking Si Huiying had just mentioned Chu Siqi and you also specifically looked for her at the table. Isn’t the implication obvious?
Si Huiying coughed and spoke with a slightly awkward expression, “Monitor, don’t misunderstand. Jiang Qin and Siqi have no relationship. They’re just classmates who graduated from the same high school.”
“Oh oh, high school classmates. I’m really sorry then, my mistake.”
Liu Xi had wanted to hint at declaring his claim, but he didn’t expect to make such a blunder, instantly turning beet red.
“No problem, you guys enjoy your meal. I also have a dinner engagement, so I won’t disturb you. I’ll go first.”
Jiang Qin turned to leave but was stopped by Si Huiying again, “Jiang Qin, I think there’s something I should tell you.”
“If it’s about Chu Siqi, don’t mention it. I have no interest in knowing.”
Jiang Qin’s words were very blunt, making the Law Class 2 committee members beside him puzzled. Chu Siqi was a true goddess, beautiful with a tall figure. Countless senior students in the law department wanted to pursue her. How did she become so scary in this person’s mouth?
But Si Huiying ignored the others’ discussions and spoke after thinking for a while, “What I want to say isn’t about Chu Siqi, it’s about Hong Yan. She has already submitted a transfer application to change from the law department to the international trade department.”
Jiang Qin wasn’t too surprised by this news, “At this stage, quite a lot of people want to transfer.”
“Are there people in your department who want to transfer too?” Si Huiying was a bit curious.
“Of course there are. Many people’s major choices actually have a lot to do with their family’s opinions. Some applied because their parents thought it was good, some followed the advice of seniors. But after learning more, many will have new thoughts, so there are quite a few who want to transfer. I’m very happy for her that she can make a choice based on her heart.”
“That’s not the case for Hong Yan. She really likes the law major. I think she has other reasons for transferring but when I asked, she just wouldn’t tell me.”
After hearing this, Jiang Qin was silent for a while, “Maybe she has her own considerations. I also often have to do things I don’t like.”
Si Huiying pursed her lips, “Jiang Qin, can you go persuade her?”
“Me?”
“You also know, Hong Yan is very smart and has her own ideas. Although she calls me sister, I’m actually far less mature than her, so she won’t listen to what I say. But Hong Yan has always felt you’re more mature and capable than her. She’ll definitely listen to you.”
“Will it be useful for me to persuade her?”
“Can you try? Even if it doesn’t work, at least ask the reason.”
Si Huiying felt the choice of university major concerned Hong Yan’s entire life. She was worried for her good friend and didn’t want her to make an impulsive decision.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Qin nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a chance to talk with her.”
“Thank you,” Si Huiying said sincerely.
“No need to thank me. You guys eat first, I’ll go over.”
Jiang Qin walked away while the others fell into silence because the information in that conversation just now was too much. It involved both Chu Siqi and Hong Yan, making them involuntarily think of the incident a few days ago when Hong Yan and Chu Siqi suddenly argued in the hallway.
“That day when Chu Siqi and Hong Yan fought, was it because of this person?” Liu Xi couldn’t help asking after holding back for a long time.
“Mm.”
Si Huiying nodded.
Seeing the other party admit it, Liu Xi felt he completely couldn’t understand, “He doesn’t look exceptionally handsome, right? Why?”
Si Huiying shook her head, “I don’t know why either, but there are many things in the world that have no reason.”
Hearing this, the people at the table couldn’t help glancing at each other, then they all furrowed their brows, not knowing what to sigh about. This uneven feeling made people uncomfortable but also enviously sour.
We all have one nose and two eyes, why can’t I?
At the same time, Jiang Qin arrived at the private room Su Nai reserved and started eating with his startup team. The atmosphere was lively, feeling like a small company outing.
Jiang Qin had an idea, suggesting they stop calling each other by name and try using last names with “chief”. So a bunch of chiefs started being called, “Chief Su”, “Chief Dong”, “Chief Lu”, “Chief Pang”.
Unexpectedly, this atmosphere did bring a subtle change, making people involuntarily start imagining the future.
Jiang Qin also deliberately spoke a few sentences, hoping everyone could dare to think and act, that dreams aren’t the end of life, just the starting point.
“Old Dong, what’s your dream?”
Dong Wenhao put down his wine glass, “Boss, my biggest dream used to be going to high school to be a Chinese teacher. But after hearing your words, I changed my mind.”
This was exactly the effect Jiang Qin wanted, “What’s your dream now? Say it.”
“I plan to be a vice principal.”
“You don’t even dare dream of being the real thing?”
Dong Wenhao looked difficult, “Current high school principals are basically all brought in. It’s hard without connections.”
“Then can’t you bullshit? The atmosphere is so good but your dream is too lousy!” Jiang Qin looked helpless.
