Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude

Two days later, Su Nai’s technical team was fully recruited. The team consisted of four members: two sophomores, Chen Wenxing and Yang Shuai, and two junior female students, Wen Jinrui and Dong Miaomiao.

Around the same time, Dong Wenhao’s content team was also established, including the serial author Shi Miaomiao, and five content creators, Lu Feiyu, Duan Yan, Ma Yubao, Ding Yuzhen, and Lv Yingying, along with external editors Pang Hai and Lu Xuemei.

Two part-time girls from the club, Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing, were also part of the team.

Jiang Qin led these sixteen people to an empty classroom for their first regular meeting. The meeting’s purpose was simple: to lay the groundwork for the campus beauty contest. Dong Wenhao’s team was responsible for setting the pace, directing the forum’s topics towards the campus beauty theme, sparking discussions and debates.

Meanwhile, Su Nai and his technical team were to create a diversion page and a voting app. When the topic reached its peak, the campus beauty contest would officially launch, allowing users to support their favorite goddess by earning flowers through daily check-ins, posting, and inviting new users.

Additionally, Lu Xuemei, as the design department’s liaison, was in charge of poster design and front-end images, with Pang Hai providing guidance from behind the scenes. Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing, familiar with the market from their long-term part-time work, were tasked with seeking sponsors. The success of attracting advertising funds was secondary; the primary goal was to gauge local merchants’ receptivity to forum advertisements.

“This is our forum’s first battle. I hope everyone will be fully engaged and take this seriously,” Jiang Qin motivated the team. “If this model is successful, we’ll replicate it across various university towns, turning our campus network from points to lines, expanding widely, and eventually catering to the whole society.”

“Su Nai, you will be my Chief Executive Officer; Wenhao will be my Chief Operating Officer, and everyone else will be my various officers!” he announced enthusiastically. “When we go public, I’ll take you all to ring the bell in the United States.”

Jiang Qin painted a beautiful vision, but the reaction from the team was lukewarm, with no signs of excitement or joy.

“Su Nai, let’s take everyone out for dinner and karaoke tonight, expenses on the company,” he suggested.

The response was immediate and enthusiastic, with shouts of “Long live the boss!” and “The boss is mighty, number one in the world!” Jiang Qin gritted his teeth, thinking to himself how unprepared his makeshift team was for significant growth.

After the meeting, which ended at 1:50 PM, Jiang Qin returned to his dormitory. He found that Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang had already left for the playground, leaving only Cao Guangyu, updating his plain but luxurious second-generation rich life, looking content.

Jiang Qin didn’t disturb him and quickly changed into his military training uniform. Passing by the mirror, he couldn’t help but reflect on the stark contrast between discussing going public and returning to military training.

Leaving the dormitory at 2:15 PM, he was inevitably late. Realizing this, he slowed his pace, reasoning that being ten minutes or half an hour late made little difference since the punishment would be the same.

However, unknown to him, the drill instructor wasn’t present that afternoon. Instead, a group of senior students from the finance department’s student union was there. Leading them were President Zhu Feng and Vice President Ma Mingjiang, along with several officers.

They stood in front of the finance class’s formation, surrounding Feng Nanshu, who looked cold and indifferent, her expression innocent and cute.

“Junior sister, tomorrow is the military training review ceremony. With your beauty, why don’t you want to carry the flag for the finance department?” they asked her.

“Really, junior sister, the ceremony is a campus-wide event. If you stand in front carrying the flag, all eyes will be on our finance department,” another added.

“Think about it. It’s an honor, not just anyone gets this chance,” they continued.

Feng Nanshu gently shook her head in refusal, her eyes filled with resistance. She was already uncomfortable in crowded situations, and military training was her limit. To participate in the review ceremony, stand in the front row, facing thousands of spectators? It would be daunting for anyone, let alone someone with her level of social anxiety.

Looking towards the neighboring formation, she didn’t find Jiang Qin and clutched the brim of her hat tightly, her lips pursed.

The student union leaders, Zhu Feng and others, couldn’t help but turn to Gao Wenhui and Fan Shuling, urging them, “Aren’t you close sisters? Convince her. This is a good opportunity.”

“Ah, we can’t persuade her, Nanshu is quite stubborn,” Gao Wenhui declined with a wave of her hand.

Zhu Feng felt a headache coming on. “Then who can persuade her?”

Fan Shuling glanced towards the direction of Class 3. “The person who can persuade her hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Who? Your counselor?” Zhu Feng asked.

“Not even the counselor can persuade her. Only that person can.”

After hearing this, Feng Nanshu pulled Gao Wenhui aside. “Even if Jiang Qin persuades me, I won’t go.”

“Nonsense. If he asks you, you’ll definitely go happily,” Gao Wenhui confidently asserted, having thoroughly understood Feng Nanshu’s character.

While they were talking, Jiang Qin entered the playground. Everyone in the formation turned their heads in unison, murmuring that he had arrived.

Everyone present knew that Feng Nanshu was very attached to Jiang Qin. They anticipated that only he could persuade her, so they looked forward to what would happen next.

“Jiang is going to show off again. I’m so jealous!” Zhou Chao commented bitterly.

Ren Ziqiang was puzzled. “How is he showing off?”

“The student union has been trying to persuade her for a long time to no avail. Watch Jiang Qin come over and convince the celestial girl with just one sentence. Isn’t that showing off?” Zhou Chao seemed to have seen through everything.

Ren Ziqiang shivered at the thought. “Damn, that really is showing off!”

“Alas, we’re going to be overshadowed by Jiang Qin again. We haven’t even recovered from the last time!”

Meanwhile, the student union members also looked over, seeing a latecomer. They didn’t pay much attention, as there were always a few mavericks among new students who liked to be late and laid back. They had seen too many such cases, so they continued focusing on Feng Nanshu.

However, when Jiang Qin approached and saw Feng Nanshu in the crowd, he directly squeezed into Class 4’s formation. “What happened? What’s going on?”

“These are our seniors from the finance department. They want Feng Nanshu to carry the flag in front of the formation,” Gao Wenhui succinctly explained.

Zhu Feng frowned. “Irrelevant students should go to military training and not crowd around. This matter doesn’t concern you.”

“Report to the senior, only he can persuade Feng Nanshu,” Gao Wenhui suddenly spoke up.

Feng Nanshu nodded seriously. “I only listen to Jiang Qin.”

The male officers’ faces changed, carefully scrutinizing Jiang Qin. How could such a celestial girl have a boyfriend upon entering school? And this guy seems so ordinary. What’s so special about him?

“Are you her boyfriend? Then quickly persuade her to carry the flag for our finance department tomorrow at the review,” Zhu Feng pointed at Feng Nanshu.

Jiang Qin straightforwardly refused. “Senior, forget it. She’s more timid than a peanut. You should choose someone else.”

“Can’t you persuade her?” Zhu Feng tried to provoke him.

“I can persuade her, but I shouldn’t. I know she listens to me, but why should I force her to do something she doesn’t like? What good is that?”

Hearing this, Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao turned pale, feeling insulted yet unable to pinpoint any evidence.

Was this the difference between them and Jiang Qin?

Meanwhile, Song Qingsheng and Jiang Tian exchanged glances, their expressions filled with infinite sighs and their eyes sparkling with envy and aspiration.

Some seemingly indifferent people can be unexpectedly tender.

In the end, the student union had no choice but to look for someone else in another formation. The finance department, being the largest department at Linqing University, had no shortage of good-looking people, even if they couldn’t find someone of Feng Nanshu’s caliber.

After a while, Jiang Qin returned to his formation and looked up to find Feng Nanshu turning her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes full of joy.

Jiang Qin suddenly felt that the little rich girl trusted that he would refuse, which is why she confidently left the decision to him. She was not at all foolish; anyone underestimating her would regret it.
