Chapter 27: Chapter Twenty-Two: I Also Want to Get a Card
The sun rose as usual the next day.
Zhou Yuwen didn't sleep well on the first day of his rebirth since he had too many things he wanted to do, but didn't know where to start. He simply put on some sportswear and went for a run in the rising sun.
The sounds of washing up weren't loud, but they still woke Chang Hao.
Chang Hao lay on his bed and squinted his eyes, "Old Zhou, where are you going?"
"Running."
"Oh," Chang Hao mumbled, only asking that much before falling back into a deep sleep—by the time he realized Old Zhou had actually gone running!?
When he opened his eyes again, he found that Zhou Yuwen had long been gone.
Suddenly, Chang Hao understood why Zhou Yuwen was so popular.
But then he thought it was strange; how could such a self-disciplined guy still end up in a tier-two university?
Last night, Chang Hao had talked with Zheng Yanyan until two in the morning. In fact, it wasn't exactly until two; Zheng Yanyan had only replied twice, but Chang Hao fantasized about a wonderful future with Zheng Yanyan and was so excited that he couldn't sleep until three.
Chang Hao didn't envy Zhou Yuwen's popularity, but he did hope to be the first one in the dorm to get out of singlehood.
If he could make a move on Zheng Yanyan, striving to win her over quickly.
Chang Hao said that his uncle was in Jinling.
After the military training break, he could ask his uncle for a car to take Yanyan out for some fun.
Suffice it to say, this did have some appeal to Zheng Yanyan.
The weather in Jinling was too hot, and Zheng Yanyan didn't want to squeeze onto buses; the taxis were too expensive.
So she asked Chang Hao, "What kind of car does your uncle have?"
"Hey! A BMW!"
"Then your uncle must be pretty rich, right?"
"You're joking, Yanyan, BBA is just the starting point. When I graduate in the future, I'm going to have my dad buy me a BMW," Chang Hao replied.
Zheng Yanyan was browsing the school forum and messaging Chang Hao. Besides Chang Hao, Zheng Yanyan had also met some upperclassmen during the summer break.
Today, when those upperclassmen met Zheng Yanyan in person, they all showed a strong interest in her.
It was just that Zheng Yanyan wasn't very interested in these guys.
"Impressive, my family probably won't buy me such an expensive car."
"By that time, my car will be your car, I'll be your personal driver!" Chang Hao blurted out.
Zheng Yanyan chuckled at this, but she didn't continue on the topic. Instead, she brought up Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen.
Mainly because Su Qing's behavior towards Zhou Yuwen in the dorm was truly out of the ordinary.
Today was the first day of school, and Zheng Yanyan's class had a class meeting. The instructor, who happened to be Zheng Yanyan's class teacher, talked about the upcoming academic tasks.
The teacher asked if anyone understood architectural design.
Zheng Yanyan had always thought Su Qing was a bit silly, a girl who was all looks and no brains, during their time in the cafeteria.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, when everyone was whispering and not sure what to say, Su Qing suddenly raised her hand and confidently recited a long, official definition.
At that moment, Su Qing was confident and dignified, resembling those strong female characters you see on TV.
This scene not only made all the classmates look at Su Qing with new admiration, but it also pleasantly surprised the instructor, who asked Su Qing if someone in her family worked in architectural design.
Su Qing said she had been interested in architectural design since she was little and that she had already learned CAD, PS, SU, and Lumion over the summer.
The classmates, who had never even heard of these professional design software packages, were amazed that Su Qing was so familiar with them, prompting them all to ask who this girl was and commenting on how impressive she was.
After gaining a comprehensive understanding of Su Qing, the instructor nodded frequently in approval.
Su Qing then lived up to expectations and became the class president, managing everything in an orderly manner.
At that time, she wore a coffee-colored jacket with dark blue jeans and a neat ponytail, unmatched in popularity.
After that class meeting, some boys couldn't resist approaching Su Qing indirectly, hoping to get her contact information.
Honestly, Zheng Yanyan was particularly envious of Su Qing, who had already learned to communicate on equal terms with the instructor, while the other students still showed the same respect as they did to high school teachers. Su Qing could even find the gaps in the tasks assigned by the instructor and fill them in. Meanwhile, a lot of boys were discussing Su Qing while she was helping the teacher on stage.
Since childhood, Zheng Yanyan had always been the pride of heaven, surrounded by countless boys in high school. Coming to Jinling, she had expected the boys to be even more enchanted by her as if they had seen a fairy descend to earth, but, unexpectedly, Su Qing had stolen the spotlight, and Yanyan felt a pang of jealousy.
What shocked Zheng Yanyan even more was,
when the boys in the class asked to add Su Qing's contact information,
Su Qing smiled naturally and said, "I already have a boyfriend, if there's anything you need, just call me."
"Oh!"
This response was a blow to the boys' egos, but it made the girls in the class like their class president even more, finding her beautiful, competent, and especially self-disciplined.
And it was such an exceptional girl who couldn't get enough of Zhou Yuwen.
What kind of person was this Zhou Yuwen?
Zheng Yanyan asked Chang Hao about the relationship between Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing.
Chang Hao grinned and said there was nothing special, "Old Zhou doesn't like Su Qing!"
"Doesn't like Su Qing? Do you know how outstanding Su Qing is, and he still doesn't like her?"
"What's the use of being outstanding? Our Old Zhou is outstanding too! Old Zhou is also our class president, and let me tell you, he is the general agent for the university town's campus card. He got our class an extra 20GB of data each, and we only have to pay 130 yuan for the card, with a monthly installment of 59 to get unlimited broadband."
"That cheap?"
This was the first time Zheng Yanyan had heard about it, and though she hadn't been interested in chatting with Chang Hao, this information caught her interest.
For a girl like Zheng Yanyan, her data allowance was never enough; 20GB a month was so vital for her, but regrettably, she had already gotten a card. Sigh!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You never asked," Chang Hao said, grinning.
At that moment, Zheng Yanyan really felt like hitting Chang Hao. When she had gotten her card, a senior had bragged to her about how much money he could make selling campus cards, suggesting the commission for one card could be about fifty.
If Zhou Yuwen was the general agent, he must be making even more, right?
So, she asked Chang Hao whether a lot of people got their cards from Zhou Yuwen.
"Not sure, he seems pretty busy anyway. Just now, I heard a lot of people calling him, and it seems like there's also an agent for him at Jinling University. About thirty people got cards there, and maybe ten people from our class got them. It's said that this time he has to issue a thousand cards. Anyway, Yanyan, Old Zhou really doesn't lack for girls. Just now there was more than one girl calling Old Zhou, so you might as well tell Su Qing to give up (grinning with bared teeth)."
"Give me Zhou Yuwen's WeChat; I want to get a card too."
"What?"
