  Chapter 12: A Day Out with the Little Rich Lady

  TL: Etude

  After sending Guo Zihang away, Jiang Qin also left the beef noodle restaurant and headed to the Jizhou City Library, then took his wealthy young beor to the small odity city.

  Feng Nanshu was wearing a fairy-like floral dress today, slung across with a small bck leather bag, stepping in browher shoes, with a glimpse of ce thin socks adorned with frills at the edges, exuding a full sense of youthfulness.

  With the soul of a greasy 38-year-old, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but think that she was so tender, she almost seemed to ooze water.

  She strolled along the narroay, her clear, bright eyes flitting about, filled with curiosity for the goods dispyed at the stalls.

  This small odity city was quite famous among the students of gnan High School because it sold mostly imitation goods at low prices and offered a wide variety.

  Students were really poor.

  Especially day students who ate at home day and night and didn’t have much pocket money.

  So, e the weekend, they flock here in groups, but what they buy is mostly for show and not very practical.

  Feng Nanshu probably heard about this pce from others at school, which is why she suggested io look around.

  “Why do they have so many car keys?”

  “Ah… those are actually lighters.”

  “Do I o take a test for a beauty certificate? I want to get one.”

  “That’s fake, it has no real value. If you want it, just buy it, one yuan each.”

  “Jiang Qin, I’m thirsty, I want a Sprite.”

  “You’re mistaken. That’s its sister brand, ‘Lei Bi’.”

  “Why is this underwear torn in the middle and still for sale?”

  “Eh, you’re still young, don’t pry into adult matters.”

  Three mier, Feng Nanshu stopped in front of a shop at the er, seemingly uo move.

  In front of her was a Hello Kitty-themed rog horse, fshing with lights, invitingly calling out to little friends to e and py.

  Feng Nanshu turned her head, looking quietly at Jiang Qin with a cold gaze that sparkled with a hint of determination, leaving him utterly baffled.

  “You don’t really want to py on this, do you?”

  “Miss, listen to me, this thing is meant for children under eight years old.”

  “You’re eighteen now, pying with this would definitely be social suicide.”

  Jiang Qin tried to persuade her to give up the idea. Although the toy lit up, moved, and even sang, one really o be wearing split-crotch pants to qualify to py on it.

  Three mier, a melodious song echoed from the er store.

  “What is father’s father called? Father’s father is called grandfather…”

  The beautiful girl rode on it, giggling merrily, her whole being seemingly s with joy.

  Jiang Qin, holding the ge he got from the store, couldn’t help but ugh. He leaned against the doorframe of the shop, quietly her.

  He once actally saw a minated schedule in Feng Nanshu’s bag – piano and violin practi the m, ballet and judo at noon, watg the news and reading financial papers in the evening. It was only iernoon that she could take a breather at the library.

  The little rich dy probably didn’t have much of a childhood…

  That’s why she has no friends, doesn’t socialize, turned into a social phobid was misuood as aloof.

  Jiang Qin smiled and turned his attention away, instead casually pulling out a tract from his bag.

  He now owned four sets of resettlement housing, varying in size, costing a total of 2.73 million yuan from his card.

  The pensation pn for the old city restru in Jizhou City hadn’t been announced yet, and he hadn’t seen it in his previous life either. But based on the pensation his uncle received in Lianqiao, the pensation in the bustling areas could reach a ratio of 1:2.8. The locations of Xingfu unity and Hongyun unity were more remote, so their pensation wasn’t as high, at most 1:2.1.

  He was unsure about the situation in Rongg, but it should be around 1:2.4.

  Jizhou wasn’t like Jingdu or Shen City, where one could get rich ht through demolition. Reag this ratio was already quite rare, what more could one ask for.

  It should be hat the fht vilges located in the North Sed Road were also included in the demolition scope in 2018, but the pensation ratio was only 1:1.3.

  What did this imply?

  This means that in demolition, just like in love, timing was really important.

  Ohe demolition pensation was in hand, Jiang Qin po repay the money borrowed from Feng Nanshu. By that time, he should still have one or two millio, in addition to owning four properties.

  Of course, he could opt for cash instead of the properties, but direct cash-out would unlikely match the market value. So, the best approach would be to sell them personally after acquisition. However, this depended on the specific location of the resettlement housing. If it was in an area expected te in value, he’ll definitely keep it.

  Jiang Qin didn’t pn to idle around during the wait for the demolition.

  He inteo withdraw 270,000 yuan to start a business.

  Purchasing demolition properties ecutive, but starting a real business was a different game. To quickly transition into arepreneur’s mi, he o familiarize himself with business processes and strategies.

  Therefore, he po use this 270,000 yuan as capital to start a small venture in Jizhou, sidering it a trial run before officially ung a business.

  As he pted this, the musi nearby suddenly stopped.

  The swinging time had ended.

  But Feng Nanshu, riding on the Hello Kitty, was relut to get off, her eyes shimmering with an unfinished desire.

  Jiang Qin, smiling helplessly, fished out a from his pocket and ha to her.

  “e py with me,” Feng Nanshu poio another rog horse beside her.

  “Me? A big man, a formidable gentleman, an unmatched hero – you must be joking…”

  Three mier, a duet of “What is Father’s Father Called?” echoed from the entrance of the small shop.

  Jiang Qin sat in the disproportionately sized carriage, swaying along with Hello Kitty, his face showing an expression of amazement.

  This thing…

  It’s actually damn fun!

  After a long while, the two frantic Hello Kitty horses finally stopped, and the shop owner came out, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with a murderous look.

  How much does a child weigh?

  How much does a big, tall young man weigh?

  Shouldn’t he have some sense, damn it!

  However, Jiang Qin didn’t notice the shop owner’s expression and reached into his jeans pocket, pulling out an old Nokia pho by his father.

  While on the rog horse, he kept feeling something vibrating. Upon cheg his phone, he realized it was the QQ message alert, still the 2008 version of “Falling in Love with Mobile QQ,” which was quaintly retro.

  “Brother Jiang, guess where the css reunion is this time!”

  “Alright, alright, I won’t keep you in suspehe reunion is also iy ter, how tal is that?”

  “Qin Zi’ang booked a css ba the nearby Longwei Hotel. I’m heading there now. Today, we must make that fool cry!”

  “By the way, aren’t you also he city ter? After eating, I’ll e find you, and we go home together!”

  Guo Zihang’s profile picture showed a long-haired man wearing sungsses, with a sepia-toned filter, the epitome of non-mainstream.

  Jiang Qin found it hard to uand why Guo, who was short, fat, and dark, insisted on using a skinny guy as his avatar.

  This is ridiculous…

  Damn, this ton physical keyboard is ridiculously hard to use! (nokia)

  Jiang Qin pressed the end call buttourning to the homepage, pletely g the patieo reply to the message.

  “Little rich dy, where do you want to go ?”

  “Let’s go eat junk food!”

  Feng Nanshu stretched out her hand, pointing towards a snack shop ahead with her delicate, jade-like fingers, her eyes twinkling brightly.
