Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude

The cafeteria at the University of Science and Technology was the most famous among the four major universities, renowned for its high-quality and flavorful dishes.

Jiang Qin specifically asked Guo Zihang to take him there to experience it. Indeed, the food tasted good, but to say it was exceptionally flavorful was a bit of an exaggeration.

After just a taste, Jiang Qin felt that the cafeteria at Linchuan University was no worse than this one. He guessed that the hype was probably a recruitment strategy by the University of Science and Technology.

By the time they returned from the cafeteria, it was already dark.

Guo Zihang’s dormitory housed five people, four of whom were internet addicts who had been out at an internet cafe since the afternoon and had not yet returned.

“Brother Jiang, do you have classes tomorrow morning?”

“No.” Jiang Qin was sitting in Guo Zihang’s chair, playing with his phone.

Hearing this, Guo Zihang brightened up: “Then you should sleep here, and we can chat!”

“Sleeping here is fine, but where will I sleep?”

“We have an empty bed in our dormitory, I’ll make it up for you.”

Jiang Qin glanced at the empty bed opposite him: “Then give me your mattress. I have a bad back and can’t sleep on just the board.”

“No problem, I’ll sort it out for you.” Guo Zihang immediately began to prepare the bed.

Jiang Qin wasn’t too fussy; as long as the sheets were clean, it was fine. As for the quilt, it didn’t matter to him; during his poorest days, he had even slept on chairs in internet cafes. There was nothing he couldn’t make do with, and this was like recalling the hardships of the past.

Watching Jiang Qin lie down, Guo Zihang promptly turned off the light, and then they started chatting, head to head.

“Brother Jiang, do you know why Senior Cui is ignoring me?”

Jiang Qin rubbed his nose, his eyes open in the darkness: “Last week when I came, I brought my employee, Fang Xiaoxuan, with me, and Senior Cui mistook her for my girlfriend.”

“That’s it?” Guo Zihang was puzzled.

“Senior Cui probably thought that my employee wasn’t good enough for me. So, on my second visit, she brought her best friend along, planning to introduce her to me. She even suggested that a rich second-generation like me should have a presentable girlfriend and advised me to dump my current one.”

“And then?”

Jiang Qin coughed, pausing for a moment before speaking: “That day, Feng Nanshu was sitting in my car.”

“…”

After hearing this, Guo Zihang got goosebumps, hardly able to imagine the social death Senior Cui must have experienced: “No wonder she’s not even replying to my QQ messages. Just hearing about it makes my face hurt!”

“It was all coincidence, who knew she would look inside the car.” Jiang Qin cleared himself of any involvement.

“Logically speaking, Senior Cui was also wrong. Even if it’s her best friend, she shouldn’t be undermining others behind their backs.”

Jiang Qin was a bit surprised to hear this: “To hear you say that, your godfather doesn’t have to worry about you being ‘kept as a pet’ by others.”

“What’s ‘being kept as a pet’?” Guo Zihang was unfamiliar with the term.

“It refers to showing affection to the opposite sex without any dignity, having no limits to gain their favor. Such people are collectively referred to as ‘lick dogs’.”

Suddenly, Guo Zihang grinned fiercely: “I won’t be a dog; I want to be a wolf!”

“A ‘lick wolf’?”

“…”

Jiang Qin laughed heartily for a while: “Stop talking nonsense. Let me tell you something important. I’ve already taken over the milk tea shop. You should help out more in the future.”

Guo Zihang immediately responded, “No problem, I really miss the days when I earned money with you during the summer.”

“There’s more, don’t rush. Wait until the milk tea shop starts operating normally. I plan to organize a campus beauty contest at your university. That will be your moment to shine.”

“A campus beauty contest? Didn’t Linchuan University have one before November? I heard Chu Siqi was first, Liu Yiyi second, and the third…”

Guo Zihang spoke as if he was very familiar with the subject.

Jiang Qin was somewhat surprised: “Where did you hear about this?”

“In a university town as small as ours, where a single bus ride can take you everywhere, news travels fast. Recently, there was even a discussion in our class about it, privately comparing who is the campus beauty, but no one could agree.”

Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow, thinking that if the situation was really as Guo Zihang described, then the subsequent promotion might be much easier.

Because when a new concept emerges, the hardest step is getting people to accept it.

Since the students at the University of Science and Technology already had the idea of selecting a campus beauty, Jiang Qin’s promotion was like pushing at an open door.

“Brother Jiang?”

“Hmm?”

“You just mentioned that it’s time for me to shine. What exactly can I do?” Guo Zihang was excited.

Jiang Qin grinned, “Hand out flyers.”

“??????”

After about an hour of casual conversation, Guo Zihang gradually fell silent.

Jiang Qin also began to feel tired, so he decided to get some sleep before heading back tomorrow. However, he was reminded that overweight people snoring was a reality, as Guo Zihang’s snores were like a drill, boring into his brain.

Unable to endure it until 4 in the morning, Jiang Qin, even though it was still dark outside, grumpily drove back to Linchuan University.

Since the male dormitory was still closed at this time, Jiang Qin went directly to the Entrepreneurship Center and caught up on sleep on the sofa in room 207.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already past 10 in the morning.

Yawning, Jiang Qin sat up from the sofa, his hair messy like a bird’s nest. He didn’t have time to tidy up and went straight to room 208, gathering everyone for a brief meeting.

“The milk tea shop issue is resolved, so we can proceed with the next steps as planned.”

“Wenhao, you can mobilize the students you recruited from the University of Science and Technology. Create more content, and the original content team shouldn’t idle either. Write some melodramatic themes that college students enjoy.”

“Lanlan, Senior Xu Yu, you two go to the University of Science and Technology to check the shop. Make sure to clear up any old debts and avoid bad debts.”

“Also, take Fang Xiaoxuan with you. Let her try her hand at it.”

“Pang Hai, contact Shengshi Printing Factory to expedite the production of a Xi Tian sign to replace the original one.”

Everyone nodded after hearing the instructions and then started to execute the plan.

After arranging everything, Jiang Qin had nothing else to do, so he went to the restroom in the middle of the corridor to wash up.

Without shampoo, he kept it simple, just smoothing down his disheveled hair.

As he was drying his hair outside the restroom, a girl with bangs walked in, surprised to see him.

“Oh, senior?”

Jiang Qin remembered her; she was the girl he had encountered at the administrative office door, likely the replacement for the television senior.

The girl was quite pretty, with a bright smile, though her features were somewhat ordinary. However, this didn’t detract from her lively charm, which made her seem very approachable.

“You’re working in the administrative office now, right?” Jiang Qin casually asked.

“Yes, senior. My name is Tang Lin, from the International Trade Department. I’ve been assigned to assist Senior Cao with managing entrepreneurship applications. And you, senior?”

“Finance department, Jiang Qin. Is Professor Yan in the administrative office now?”

Tang Lin nodded, “Yes, he is.”

“Good, tell Professor Yan not to wander off; I need to see him about something.” Jiang Qin washed his face as he spoke.

“Oh, okay.”

Tang Lin was a bit intimidated, thinking that ‘wandering off’ wasn’t really an appropriate term for a professor. However, she didn’t know much about Jiang Qin, assuming he was an influential senior who could joke with a professor. Not daring to say anything, she stuck out her tongue and quietly left the restroom.

Jiang Qin indeed had important business with Professor Yan. With the milk tea shop set up, the subsequent activities at the University of Science and Technology could soon be rolled out. However, running a milk tea shop and organizing activities were different matters.

Simply put, who owns the milk tea shop is irrelevant to the university. As long as the rent is paid on time, no one cares who owns it.

But if you want to organize a grand event at another university, it’s essential to get the school leadership’s approval.

Although Jiang Qin was now a millionaire, he didn’t have as much clout as Professor Yan. So, he planned to go through Professor Yan, contacting the University of Science and Technology in advance to ensure the event wouldn’t be stopped before it even started.
