Chapter 179: I Want to Go to Uy!
TL: Etude
“Tony, you do me a favor? I want a hairstyle like that too!”
“??????”
“The same as that girl’s hairstyle, ohat be tied into a ponytail or let dowhe shoulders. you do it?”
“Uh, well…”
“Me too, me too! I don’t want to perm anymore. you cut mihe same way?”
“Um, my girlfriend is getting her hair washed. When she’s done, you give her the same style?”
Upon seeing the goddess-like Feng Nanshu and He Manqi, who had transformed from a non-mainstream look to that of an i girl using Nanshu as a tempte, ers in the barbershop couldn’t help but be agitated, their eyes shining with excitement.
There was also a dark-skinned boy who, taking advantage of his girlfriend’s abse the hair wash, uniterally decided on her hairstyle.
This was the power of a live demonstration.
Now, the pressure was on Tony, and he was overwhelmed.
People look good with a simple high ponytail because they are naturally beautiful, not because of my skills.
My scissors only trim hair, not faces!
“You guys… are you sure you want the same style?”
“Yes, definitely. Look how beautiful they look with it. Hurry up and cut it!”
Watg Tony’s flicted expression, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but ugh, pyfully ping Feng Nanshu’s hand, causio squeak in protest.
In this era, the i wasn’t as developed as in ter years. Popur styles and fashion trends spread through small circles, and it was on to style one’s hair after someone else’s.
Tony picked up his scissors, focused and calm, and began to mass-produce the Feng Nanshu replica.
Meanwhile, the inal rich girl and her newly-transformed panioaken by Jiang Qin out of the barbershop. They sat down at a nearby outdoor barbecue stall, casually ordered some skewers, and po fill their stomachs.
“Brother Jiang Qin, tell me more about Sister Nanshu. I want to learn!”
“She…”
Just as Jiang Qin uttered a word, he turo look at Feng Nanshu: “You better not eavesdrop.”
Feng Nanshu pursed her lips: “I won’t eavesdrop.”
Jiang Qin, somewhat reassured, turo He Manqi: “Aloof goddess, oonlight, ahly ideal, a schirl – all these describe your Sister Nanshu. Back then, she was the dream of every boy in gnan High School.”
He Manqi’s face lit up with awe: “Then, she must have been the prettiest girl in yh schoht?”
“Not just in high school. Wherever she went, she was the most beautiful girl. I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than her. Moreover, she always topped her grade in exams, barely spoke to others, and aring with her words when answering questions. Mysterious to the extreme. That’s what a goddess is, Manqi. You should strive to excel both inside and out.”
After whispering this, Jiang Qin gnced over, a bit ed.
Fortunately, Feng Nanshu was sipping water from a cup, looking like an adorable, silly cat. Her posture roper, and her expression was obedient and cute, as if she hadn’t heard anything.
“Did you eavesdrop?” Jiang Qin asked her.
Feng Nanshu shook her head early, her voice soft ale: “I didn’t eavesdrop, but Jiang Qin, I wasn’t always at the top of my grade.”
“??????”
Just as the atmosphere grew tehe barbecue owner brought over the skewers. Jiang Qin decisively ged the subjed begaiiculously, pretending he hadn’t said anything.
After they finished eating and were about to leave, they suddenly heard a scream from the barbershop across the street. A girl with a rge fad a ponytail, resembling Feng Nanshu’s, emerged, dragging a dark-skinned boy and fuming with anger.
She was cursing under her breath, every sentence wishing peace upon his family.
“Live demonstrations really be powerful.”
Jiang Qin sighed inwardly and then took Feng Nanshu back to school, apanied by the now-transformed He Manqi, to Wanzhong Mall to find He Yijun.
He Yijun didn’t have high hopes for his daughter’s college journey. After sulting many experieeachers, they were all at a loss with He Manqi’s stubbornness and wilfulness.
Even though Jiang Qin was a star student, fag his own daughter, he probably could only scratch his head in fusion.
“Mr. He!”
Jiang Qin pushed the door open and greeted He Yijun, who was sitting in the boss’s chair.
“Hmm? Mr. Jiang, it’s not even dark yet. Why are you back so soon? And where’s Manqi?”
He Yijun was somewhat surprised, quickly p a cup of tea for him.
“Manqi went to the restroom. She’ll be ba a bit.”
Jiang Qin sat doting the tea from He Yijun with a thank you.
“How was Manqi’s performaoday?”
Jiang Qin sighed, speaking somewhat regretfully: “Mr. He, adolesce is a normal psychological stage where teenagers develop a strong sense of self and ’t easily be swayed by others.”
“I k…”
He Yijun couldn’t help but sigh.
“So, don’t be too disappointed when you see Manqi. I’ve done what I could, though it’s not much. I hope you won’t bme me.”
“Of course not, Mr. Jiang. You’ve beehoughtful. Actually, I had a feeling this would happen. That girl of mine…”
Before He Yijun could finish, the office door suddenly opened. He Manqi, with her hair dyed back to bd tied in a ponytail, and her earrings removed, walked in looking fresh and pretty.
pared to her previous non-mainstream appearance, He Manqi looked like a pletely different person, almost like a well-behaved girl.
“Dad, I want to go to uy.”
“??????”
He Manqi frowned: “I want to go to uy!”
He Yijun held his breath, looking incredulously at Jiang Qin: “Mr. Jiang, did you… did you hit her?”
“No, I just took her to experiehe uy atmosphere, to see how everyoudies and works hard. And, I took her to get her hair done.”
“Just that? An afternoon’s experieurned my daughter into this?”
He Yijun’s mouth twitched, examining his daughter from all angles, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Isn’t this a big ge?
Setting aside her desire to study o to college, just look at the color and style of her hair. It’s like you’ve given my daughter a new head.
He Yijun had previously scolded He Manqi about her hairstyle. But she had said, do whatever you want, but toug my hair is like taking my life.
He Manqi, annoyed by his staring, said: “Dad, I told you I want to go to uy, why aren’t you reag?”
“Study, you study whatever you want, even roast sweet potatoes, I’m all for it!” He Yijun ughed heartily.
“Fiop b me. I’m going to study!”
“Holy shit, the words ‘going to study’ actually came out of your mouth? Go, hurry up, I’ll have my secretary prepare your favorite snacks!”
He Manqi was in her rebellious teenage phase, filled with uainty about life and unsure about what to do or not to do. Frankly, she had hought about what kind of person she wao bee.
But after returning from the uy visit, she had made up her mind. She wao bee someone like Sister Nanshu.
A schirl, oonlight, ahly ideal!
“Brother Jiang Qin, I’m off to study!”
The young girl flipped her ponytail, the words ‘going to study’ still eg in He Yijun’s ears like thunder, leaving him uled for a long time.
Witnessing this se, Jiang Qin nontly sipped his tea.
He enjoyed seeing He Yijun’s bewildered face, as if he had never seen the world. Impressive, right? With just oervention, I achieved the human limit.
“Mr. He, I’ve done what I promised. Remember to help me with the gathering arras.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. I’ll have an answer for you tomorrow. But I’m curious, why are you so eager to attend this gathering?”
“I want to get a whiff of the smell of money.”
Knowing Jiang Qin didn’t want to eborate, He Yijun simply smiled and didn’t press further.
Jiang Qin’s thought process was straightforward: although his group buying ptform had started, the profits were still insuffit. He o expand his business scope and radiate into more fields.
On the Winter Solstice, he had tered a marketing campaign around the Xi Tian Milk Tea shop, selling milk tea cards, which received wide accim.
Since he could sell milk tea cards that allowed ers to e at the shop, he could also colborate with various merts to sell different kinds of in-store dist coupons.
However, the problem was Jiang Qin’s ck of fame, which made it difficult to partner with major merts in Lin.
“Who are you?” they would question.
A mere ordinary college student, even if he was a star student, what could he do?
If Wanzhong Mall hadn’t targeted the college student market and thereby purchased advertising services on the Zhihu forum, Jiang Qin might not have had the opportunity to meet He Yijun.
But the Lin erce Association’s New Year’s gathering was clearly an opportunity. By getting his faown there, he might find someone willing to try online sales.
Some jujube trees won’t reveal if they bear fruit unless you shake them. So, he had to find a way to shake them.
KTVs, bars, hotels – money was to be spent. So why couldn’t it pass through his pocket first?
“Mr. He.”
At that moment, He Yijun’s secretary came in flustered: “Manqi just asked me to help her with a math problem.”
He Yijun was beaming: “That’s my girl. You should teach her!”
“I… I’ve lourned my math knowledge to the teacher.”
“No worries, we have a star student here. No problem is too hard for him!”
He Yijun, full of enthusiasm, pletely ign Jiang Qin’s reluce, took him to the room to help his daughter with math.
When hahe paper, Jiang Qin smiled: “The star student doesn’t easily intervene, Manqi. Think about it again. I believe in you.”
“Thank you, Brother Jiang Qin. I’ll try to think harder.”
Jiang Qin turo He Yijun, speaking early: “We o foster a child’s ability to learn indepely. They ’t always ask others when fag difficulties. What will they d exams? Ask someone else?”
He Yijun gave a thumbs up: “Professional!”
“Alright, Mr. He, I won’t disturb you further. Just give me a call when you have news.”
Jiang Qi, his smile fading, his heart in turmoil.
“Damn, I don’t even remember high sath. This is bad. Really bad! I must review.”
Determined, Jiang Qin drove back to Lin Uy, called up Cao Guangyu, Ren Ziqiang, and Zhou Chao, and headed to the teag building, swearing to catch up on all the knowledge he had missed!
