  Chapter 165: Today is a Day for a Stroll

  TL: Etude

  Jiang Zhihua had never heard of the term “good friend tree” in all her years, and Jiang Qin didn’t bother to expin it further. After patting the dust off his pants, he left the college supermarket to check the delivery and sales records of several dormitories.

  Due to a surge in orders, and the fact that these were bulk purchases made by dormitory units, the ret allocation of goods was signifitly heavier than usual.

  The aunties selected for the random chepined about their ag backs and begged for a break.

  But when Jiang Qin calcuted the ission amount on his old Nokia, their frowns turned into smiles, and they said they could keep going if it meant more money.

  “Moruly a magical thing that even charm the devil.”

  While he eaking, a series of rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor. Feng Nanshu rushed dowairs, taking two steps at a time.

  She wore a bck, short down jacket today, which made her look stunningly cool.

  Her bck jeans not only showcased her long legs perfectly but also highlighted her shapely behind.

  With such a mature and stylish look, she would defiurn heads in the cold, but her i, lively eyes, rosy lips, and curled eyeshes gave Jiang Qin the impression that she was adorably naive.

  “Jiang Qi’s go.”

  Feng Nanshu extended her right hand from her sleeve towards him.

  “How did you know I was here?”

  Jiang Qin naturally helped her zip up her half-open jacket.

  Feng Nanshu watched him zip her up, then sneakily slid her hand into the pocket of his down jacket.

  “Haini told me she saw you whe back, so I came down to check.”

  Jiang Qin couldn’t help but smile: “Aren’t you afraid of being deceived? You’re so naive.”

  Feng Nanshu gave him a cool look: “They always trick me with you, and I always believe them.”

  “Why are you so easily fooled?”

  “Because I hope it’s true every time.” Feng Nanshu pursed her lips slightly.

  Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and after a pause said, “That’s nicely put, but don’t say things like that ime.”

  “I’ll dare to say it ime.”

  “Why are you being rebellious today?”

  Feng Nanshu thought for a moment: “Then I’ll be good.”

  Jiang Qi a tig in his chest and involuntarily leaned back a bit, realizing the hand in his pocket. He looked up at Feng Nanshu, thinking she had bee quite tactful, no longer desperately asking to hold hands.

  “Do you have csses today?”

  “No, today is a day for a stroll.”

  Jiang Qin spped his forehead, thinking that his days were so muddled with marketing work that he couldn’t even remember the day of the week. Was he still worthy of being called a star student at this rate?

  “e on, I’ll take you to a super fun pce for a bit.” Jiang Qin got ready to leave.

  Feng Nanshu immediately followed him: “Jiang Qin, what’s this super fun pce?”

  Jiang Qin grinned: “There’s a legendary p Lin Uy, heard of by many but seen by few. I’ve found it, and it’s called Entrepreneurial Base 208.”

  “Oh.”

  Feng Nanshu responded, still happily following him. But as soon as they stepped out of the building, Jiang Qin was hit by the cold wind, prompting him to instinctively put his hands in his pockets.

  His left ha nothing out of the ordinary, reag the bottom of the ocket.

  At that moment, Jiang Qin’s right hand uedly csped a soft and delicate hand.

  Jiang Qin paused, his eyes widening in realization and disbelief.

  The little rich dy knew he liked to walk with his hands in his pockets. Evehey held hands, they would end up pg their hands in their pockets. So, she had learo skip the step and wait for him directly in his pocket.

  “I’ll stick to pocketing my hands in my pants today. Men who do that look cooler.”

  Feng Nanshu: “?”

  “Hey, hey, hey, I’m just joking! Don’t pull on my pants; I didn’t wear a belt!”

  Jiang Qin hurriedly grabbed her hand, stopping her from reag into his pants pocket, and then put it bato the pocket of his down jacket, looking up at her.

  Feng Nanshu’s cheeks were puffed, her eyes bright and gleaming with joy.

  “Jiang Qin, when are we going to have hotpot?”

  “I’ve been really busy tely. How about we wait until Winter Solstice? It’s ing up in a few days anyway.”

  “Wenhui said that the two little figures on the milk tea card are you and me.”

  “Heh, how much have you drunk to believe that? Not eveis. Don’t listen to her.”

  “…”

  The previous night’s snowfall had draped the campus in a serene, peaceful b of white.

  Couples like them were not unon, and it was easy to spot another every few steps, all holding hands in their pockets and walking aimlessly forward.

  Five mier, the two arrived at the Entrepreneurial Base, where they received a warm wele.

  Of course, the wele wasn’t for Jiang Qin, but for Feng Nanshu, who hadn’t been there in a long time.

  Everyone greeted her with much more enthusiasm than they greeted the boss, calling her ‘boss dy.’

  If Gao Wenhui had been there, she would have made the little rich dy decre “My subjects, rise.” However, Feng Nanshu wasn’t adept at handling such situations and just nodded pleasantly, thinking everyone was nice.

  “Boss, I’m back!”

  As soon as Jiang Qin sat down, Tan Qing, responsible for colleg payments, entered with a paper bag and pulled out a stack of bills.

  Red, purple, yellow, green—a thick stack.

  This was the payment she had just collected from the dormitory auotaling 37,962 after running through the bill ter.

  Jiang Qiement at seeing the money alpable. He reached out to take it, but Tan Qing feigned a pass and hahe thick stack of bills to Feng Nanshu.

  “Tan Qing, you’re amazing. How about a promotion? You be the boss, and I’ll be your chair.”

  Jiang Qin’s ent was sarcastic.

  “I wouldn’t dare usurp the throne, but thanks for the pliment, boss.”

  Tan Qing replied cheerfully.

  “ime, buy a wallet. Don’t always use a paper bag for money; what if it breaks? We ’t show off our wealth.”

  “Okay, boss.”

  Jiang Qin nodded and then looked around the group: “Winter Solstice is ing up. Does anyone here know how to make dumplings?”

  Shi Miaomiao looked up, surprised: “Boss, are we going to celebrate Winter Solstice together?”

  “Let’s do it. Eating dumplings on Winter Solstice is a tradition, symbolizih and prosperity. It sounds impressive, but you guys ’t make them in the dorms, right? You might be able to make them, but there are no pots to cook them in. So, let’s celebrate Winter Solstice together.”

  “Didn’t Professor Yan say we ’t use public resources for personal use?” Wen Jinrui was a bit worried.

  Jiang Qin just ughed: “I’ll feed him one first and see if he finds it tasty!”

  Hearing this, Lu Xuemei and several irls raised their hands: “Boss, we all know how to make dumplings. Leave it to us!”

  Jiang Qin nodded in satisfa: “Alright, everyoher on Winter Solstice. We’ll prepare the filling, roll the dough, make dumplings, and also set up a hotpot in Room 207. It’ll be a feast.”

  “Is the boss dy joining too?” Su Nai couldn’t help but ask.

  Jiang Qin g Feng Nanshu: “Of course she’ll e. If she doesn’t, she’ll probably cry.”

  The little rich dy nodded coolly, leaving it ambiguous whether she agreed to e or would cry.

  “Also, invite Cao Xuejie and the others, and those on rotation leave too. Make sure everyohe message. Su Nai, you’re in charge of this.”

  Su Nai, a tei, protested: “Boss, this isn’t my job!”

  Jiang Qin looked at her: “Then do you know how to make dumplings?”

  “No.”

  “Able to roll out the dough?”

  Su Nai, feeling embarrassed for not knowing anything, retorted after a moment: “I eat!”

  “Get out.”

  As Jiang Qin spoke, Dong Wenhao handed him a list. It was sales data from Wanzhong Mall. The tent team had spent an afternoon cirg items suitable for product reendations.

  The list was divided into four categories: clothing, etics, household items, aronics.

  Since he was free and the sun was warm, Jiang Qin decided to take a trip to Wanzhong Mall.

  Si was about sharing, personal experience was essential. Only through this could his produdorsements be meaningful. Otherwise, once people realized his tent didn’t match reality, it wouldn’t work anymore.

  “Little rich dy, let’s go to a genuinely fun pce!”

  “Wait for me, Jiang Qin.”

  …

  When Manager Yue received Jiang Qin’s call, she was in the mall’s lobby. They met there, and seeing Feng Nanshu’s beautiful face for the first time, Yue Zhu was also surprised.

  However, being a professional, she maintained her posure, especially when Jiang Qied a list.

  Twenty items across four categories, from clothing to eleics.

  Yue Zhu turned pale.

  Jiang Qin’s first visit had resulted in an iion-to-join dot.

  His sed visit got a rice cooker.

  And now, on his third visit, he had a list, not eveending anymore. Was there no w anymore?

  “Mr. Jiang…”

  “Just a moment, Manager Yue, I need a shopping cart.”

  “??????”

  Jiang Qin was unaware of Yue Zhu’s thoughts. He called her to guide him, not to freeload. Since Wanzhong’s online el hadn’t processed any orders yet, he felt uneasy about taking things for free.

  Jiang Qin followed the list, searg for items: Aiguo MP3, Bluemagic MP4 with built-in RMVB, domestiockoff game soles, color-adjustable mps, multifunal arm clocks, various headphones, and etics.

  Finally, they arrived at the clothiion, where two eye-catg couple’s hoodies hung in the front row.
