Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude

In the following three days, Jiang Qin was diligently revising with the little rich lady, gradually rediscovering the sensation of being a good student. He managed to memorize a considerable portion of the key areas of study.

To avoid making his roommates feel guilty, he had to pretend each day that he went out to have fun.

Though it was tiring, he at least reaped the dual benefits of knowledge and friendship.

“Damn, this is what you call emotional intelligence!”

On Friday morning, the sunlight streamed into the balcony, waking Zhou Chao, who was sleeping closest to the window.

He crawled out of bed, propped himself up, and rubbed his eyes. Once he was fully awake, he noticed Jiang Qin, already dressed and carrying papers, books, and a ballpoint pen.

“Jiang, are you planning to go out and play all afternoon again?”

“Yeah, going out to play mahjong.”

“Didn’t you go play mahjong yesterday?”

“Yesterday, I lost my underwear to a senior. I must win it back today; otherwise, I can’t even imagine what terrifying things she might do with it.”

Jiang Qin was quick with his words, always full of bluffs.

Just as Zhou Chao was about to lie back down, he felt a bit uneasy: “Then why are you taking a textbook?”

“The leg of the mahjong table at the water bar is broken. I’m using it to prop up the table.”

“But the subject you took the other day wasn’t this one. Does it matter?”

“I need to try every subject. So far, I’ve had the best luck when using advanced mathematics to prop up the table. I must use it today to win back the senior’s underwear.”

“Since you put it that way, I’m relieved. As long as you’re not secretly studying, let’s order some group meals!”

Zhou Chao instantly lost his sense of guilt. He laid his head back on the pillow, closed his eyes, and fell back into a comfortable nap.

Jiang Qin put on his shoes and quietly closed the dorm room door, careful not to wake any of the slackers who loved to laze around.

He wasn’t the type to study behind his roommates’ backs, but the three guys in his dorm were hopeless slackers.

He had tried calling them twice before, but not only did they refuse to go, they even questioned him at night about how much he had studied, only able to sleep soundly after hearing that he hadn’t learned anything. Their mentality was seriously twisted.

He had no choice but to study secretly, hoping to surprise everyone at the end of the semester.

Arriving at Room 208, Feng Nanshu was already waiting for him, sitting in her large executive chair. She leaned over the desk, playing with post-it notes on her computer, her long, curly eyelashes casting golden shadows in the sunlight.

Next to her arm, a pink and white ‘best friends’ cup sat beside a blue and white one, appearing to be a perfect pair.

Jiang Qin leaned against the doorframe, quietly watching for a long while.

Time to study again, such joy.

It seemed his high school teacher was right; it wasn’t that studying was too difficult, but that he hadn’t been using the right methods. Once you find the right way, studying can indeed become addictive.

“Little rich lady, what are we studying today?”

“Today, we’re going to review what you learned yesterday.”

Jiang Qin casually pulled up a chair and sat down, accidentally kicking Feng Nanshu’s leg, which was encased in stockings.

Feng Nanshu’s eyelashes trembled slightly: “Jiang Qin, you also kicked me like this in the Jizhou Library.”

“Can’t help it, my legs are too long. Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt. Have you kicked anyone else like this?”

“No, you’re the only one.”

In the afternoon, Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona from the University of Science of Technology paid a visit.

Their main purpose was to report on their work, as it was the end of the year, and some tasks needed to be summarized. They also came to hear the boss’s plans for the coming year.

Jiang Qin was having lunch with Feng Nanshu in the cafeteria, so he arranged for Dong Wenhao to show them around Room 208 first.

“Dong, why do you guys have snacks here? Even fruits! The treatment here is too good.”

“That’s not company treatment; it’s all bought by our boss lady to reward us.”

“If only our boss lady were a student at the University of Science of Technology,” Lai Cunqing said, envy written all over his face.

Ding Qiaona, who had joined the team midway, was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help asking, “Do we have a boss lady?”

Dong Wenhao nodded, “Of course, the Xi Tian shop downstairs is run by our boss lady. Why else would Room 502 have free afternoon tea every day?”

“So that’s why,” Ding Qiaona realized. “I remember the last time I went to Xi Tian with my work badge, the manager insisted on not taking my money. So that’s the connection.”

Ding Qiaona’s question was answered, but she quickly had another one, “Is our boss lady beautiful?”

“Top-tier beauty,” Dong Wenhao said, grinning.

Ding Qiaona paused, “Could our boss lady be Chu Siqi?”

“What Chu Siqi?” Dong Wenhao looked puzzled.

“Isn’t Chu Siqi the most beautiful girl at Linchuan University? If she’s not the top-tier beauty, then who is?”

“Oh, that’s because our boss lady’s beauty is so striking that after she appeared, no one else could compete. The boss hid her away early, not letting her participate in the contest, so as not to demoralize the other beauties.”

Ding Qiaona, also the fourth beauty of the University of Science of Technology, had seen photos of Chu Siqi from events. Chu was indeed very pretty, but if even Chu Siqi’s beauty couldn’t compare to the boss lady, then how stunning must the boss lady be.

However, Ding Qiaona soon understood.

Perhaps it was because she was the boss lady. Dong was like a courtier close to the emperor, and of course, he had to flatter her.

What’s the saying? A thousand lies may pass, but flattery never fails.

This, then, was the so-called workplace.

As they were speaking, Jiang Qin arrived at the door: “What are you guys talking about?”

“Boss, you’re back. Where’s the boss lady?”

Jiang Qin stretched and sat in the executive chair: “Her best friend is working part-time at Xi Tian, so she went there. Lai, Qiaona, find a place to sit.”

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona pulled up chairs and sat down: “Boss, the group buying business has stabilized, with daily sales of forty to sixty thousand.”

“I’ve heard about this. I didn’t expect the consumption potential of the University of Science of Technology to be so great, even surpassing Linchuan University. It’s quite surprising.”

“The early marketing plan was very accurate, and we hardly exerted much effort.”

Jiang Qin nodded: “By next spring, we must quickly capture the markets of the University of Science of Technology and the Normal University. To accelerate the pace, the temporary plan is to target both simultaneously. So your team will be independently responsible for a whole university. I’m telling you in advance so you can prepare mentally.”

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona instantly looked serious: “Does the entire process mean from the campus beauty contest to the group buying promotion?”

“Yes, the whole process.”

“We…”

“Don’t tell me you lack confidence.”

“We are confident.”

Jiang Qin nodded in satisfaction: “I’ll have Wenhao send you the previous marketing plans. During the winter break, think about how to adapt them, referencing the promotions at Linchuan University and the University of Science of Technology.”

Lai Cunqing took a deep breath: “Which university are we specifically responsible for?”

“The University of Science of Technology. It’s closer to you, making it more convenient to travel back and forth.”

“But we still don’t have a proper marketing team. Can we get Lanlan’s or Tan Qing’s team over?”

When the team was promoting at the University of Science of Technology, Wei Lanlan led the marketing group, which consisted largely of veterans from Linchuan University. After the team was withdrawn from Linchuan University, members of the marketing group were reassigned to other groups, leading to a sort of nominal existence for the original group.

Additionally, since the later stages of group buying promotions required less from the marketing team, there remained a significant operational gap in the team at the University of Science of Technology.

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona, taking on a major role for the first time, were immediately concerned about manpower.

For an entire university’s campaign, the marketing group is like the vanguard. Without it, it’s like a tiger without teeth.

“I can arrange for Lanlan to transfer a few people to you, but she and Tan Qing can’t be moved. We have bigger plans after the new year, including a group buying service that requires their preparation now.”

“Then we’ll recruit new people.”

“Sure, but don’t hire too many.”

After Jiang Qin finished speaking, Lai Cunqing fell into thought, while Ding Qiaona curiously stared at Jiang Qin for a long while.

“Qiaona, do you have any questions?”

“Boss, is our boss lady really beautiful?”

Jiang Qin was momentarily startled: “Oh, you joined later and haven’t met her, right?”

Ding Qiaona nodded: “But I just asked Dong. He said the boss lady is extremely beautiful.”

“I wouldn’t know. I’m face-blind and can’t tell who’s pretty and who’s not.”

“Oh.”

Ding Qiaona responded faintly, now more convinced that Dong Wenhao was just flattering.

Soon, evening arrived, and it was time for dinner.

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona had come all the way from the University of Science of Technology for their report, and as the boss, Jiang Qin couldn’t neglect to provide a meal.

He asked Dong Wenhao to book a table at Nanshan Restaurant and called Su Nai, asking her to bring Wei Lanlan, Tan Qing, and Lu Xuemei.

Leaving Room 208, they headed to the front square.

Under the winter night, the front square was brightly lit, bustling with students, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a Korean drama.

Jiang Qin asked them to wait at the corner while he went to Xi Tian to invite the little rich lady for dinner, and also took the opportunity to mock Gao Wenhui for her clumsiness, getting back at her for previously pretending to be Feng Nanshu.

“Qiaona, did you know? Dong told me that half a year ago, there were hardly three customers in this square. Shops closed at eight because there was no business and it was a waste of electricity.”

Lai Cunqing, lighting a cigarette, shared the story.

“I know. Although I joined late, I’ve heard many stories about the boss. Since meeting him, I feel like I’ll never encounter someone as surprising again.”

As Ding Qiaona spoke, she suddenly saw the boss approaching with a girl who was as cool and serene as moonlight, a stunning beauty with perfect features and an aloof demeanor.

She spoke too soon…

She had encountered another person who surprised her.

Ding Qiaona’s gaze froze, her eyes narrowing slightly, as she realized that the boss and this aloof beauty were holding hands.

Is this the boss lady?

God, how shameless is the boss to claim he’s face-blind while having such a beautiful boss lady?
