Chapter 159: Chapter 142: Lin Qiang’s Parents Kneel! Forcing Sifan to Forgive?
"Why say Wen Wan looked best in her military uniform?" Jiang Sifan asked, a bit confused.
"Because after military training ended, many of the girls in class started wearing all sorts of nice clothes and makeup. But Wen Wan always wore the same two pairs of light-blue jeans and white shirts. You know what they say, ’fine feathers make fine birds.’ After the training, the gap between her and the other girls closed a little."
After hearing this explanation, Jiang Sifan finally realized that in their eyes, Wen Wan had long been the acknowledged class beauty.
’He was pretty lucky, then, to have picked the class beauty to be his partner.’
But thinking about it calmly, Wen Wan really was beautiful.
It was just that during military training back then, Jiang Sifan was completely focused on securing benefits and contributing to the class. Any remaining attention was spent entirely on Huang Hui.
He hadn’t paid much attention to Wen Wan at all.
Let alone during their daily classes after the training.
In such a large classroom, the boys mostly sat in the back and rarely interacted with the girls in the front.
Coupled with Wen Wan’s natural introversion, her presence in a large lecture hall filled with so many people was faint, almost unnoticeable.
At this thought, Jiang Sifan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her.
’A girl this beautiful deserves to be in the spotlight.’
So, he decided he would take her shopping for clothes sometime this week.
To buy her lots of beautiful clothes.
And let her return to everyone’s focus.
Of course, doing so would likely make Wen Wan the object of many boys’ attention.
But Jiang Sifan believed that if Wen Wan could find someone she genuinely liked, it would be worth it.
If.
Jiang Sifan was just saying, *if*.
If the person Wen Wan liked was him, then he would be... overjoyed!!
Just as he was thinking, his phone rang.
He answered the call.
It was Teacher Zhu’s voice on the other end.
"Student Sifan, this is Teacher Zhu."
Jiang Sifan was displeased to hear his voice, but he suppressed his feelings and asked, "What is it, Teacher Zhu?"
"Do you have a moment? Why don’t you come by my office, and I’ll walk you through the approval process for your startup application," Teacher Zhu replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Sifan was stunned. He asked in disbelief, "Teacher Zhu, are you serious?"
"Of course. Why would I lie?" Teacher Zhu chuckled and explained, "Actually, about what happened earlier, I didn’t have a clear understanding of the situation. I’ve figured it out now. Minister Xu was indeed the one with the major problem. I’ve already spoken with him and told him to give you a formal apology."
Jiang Sifan finally felt a wave of relief. He immediately said happily, "Thank you, Teacher Zhu! I’ll be right over."
He promptly got out of bed, excitedly put on his shoes, and sent Wen Wan a voice message: ’Wen Wan, Teacher Zhu just called and said our application for the startup studio can be approved! This is great! I’m coming to get you now.’
Wen Wan hadn’t expected this to be resolved so quickly either.
’Wasn’t that a little too easy?’
She knew that she and Jiang Sifan had been running around for days over this startup classroom.
And yet, Uncle Lu had solved it in such a short amount of time?
This made Wen Wan instantly realize the extent of Uncle Lu’s connections was far greater than she imagined.
Instantly, a sense of inferiority crept into her heart.
Although Jiang Sifan and his father, Lu Fan, had not yet reconciled, and he hadn’t truly forgiven him.
Sooner or later, the father and son would make peace.
When that time came, Jiang Sifan might even inherit Lu Fan’s company.
’In that case, could an unremarkable ugly duckling from the countryside like her continue to stay by Jiang Sifan’s side?...’
Wen Wan suddenly felt the urge to shrink back.
She was reminded of Huang Hui’s pleading from the day before.
But there was no time to think about all that now. She needed to go out and wait for Jiang Sifan immediately.
Before long, Jiang Sifan arrived on his electric scooter to find Wen Wan.
"Quick, quick, Wen Wan, get on," Jiang Sifan said excitedly.
Seeing him so happy, Wen Wan couldn’t help but feel a little happy for him as well.
On the way to the administration building, Jiang Sifan couldn’t stop marveling, "My luck has been amazing lately, haha! I really thought I wouldn’t get the studio, but it looks like it was just a close call in the end."
Wen Wan originally wanted to tell him the truth, to make Jiang Sifan appreciate what his father had done.
But then she remembered Lu Fan’s warning, and in the end, she kept her mouth shut.
Soon, Jiang Sifan brought Wen Wan to Teacher Zhu’s office.
As soon as Teacher Zhu saw Jiang Sifan, he smiled. "Sifan, come, have a seat."
Although they’d had an unpleasant encounter that morning, now that Teacher Zhu was willing to approve the application, Jiang Sifan’s attitude was very sincere. "Thank you for your help, Teacher Zhu."
"It’s nothing," Teacher Zhu said cheerfully. "Actually, your startup project is quite good. It’s just that our procedure requires a business proposal and a detailed approval process. But that’s not necessary anymore."
"Why is that?" Jiang Sifan was puzzled.
Teacher Zhu looked at him and asked tentatively, "Student Sifan, you really don’t know, do you?"
Jiang Sifan froze for a moment, then shook his head.
Seeing this, Teacher Zhu didn’t spell it out. He just smiled and said, "It’s nothing, nothing. Alright, I’ve already approved it. Here’s the key to classroom 303. This will be your studio’s location from now on. You can purchase some work supplies and put them in the classroom."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhu." Jiang Sifan was overjoyed. He took the key, and then he and Wen Wan left.
After they walked out of the administration building, he asked Wen Wan curiously, "What did Teacher Zhu mean by that just now? I didn’t get it."
Although Wen Wan knew the truth, she still shook her head and said, "I don’t know either."
"Ah, whatever, forget about it. Let’s go, let’s go check out the classroom!" Jiang Sifan said, then led Wen Wan to the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Building to see their studio space.
「Meanwhile.」
Lin Qiang’s parents drove their car to the Jinling Institute of Technology campus.
They had found out that Jiang Sifan’s dorm was in Haining Courtyard and had driven all the way to the East District Dormitory.
They had only one objective today: to obtain Jiang Sifan’s forgiveness, successfully receive his letter of forgiveness, and hopefully secure a lighter sentence for their son, Lin Qiang!
Mrs. Lin had already made up her mind. Today, even if she had to kneel, she would kneel until Jiang Sifan forgave Lin Qiang!!
