Chapter 31: Lost in the Sea of Flattery
TL: Etude
Although theres a saying that a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their eyes, there are always those who believe their view is the most standard.
Can Song Qingqing look better than Jiang Tian?
Pah!
Cao Guangyus mouth was agape as if it was as wide as the waistband of cotton pants, growing more and more discontented with the thought. So, he turned to ask Jiang Qins opinion, thinking that getting Jiang Qins approval would be awesome.
But Jiang Qin hadnt even looked, so naturally, he had no opinion to offer and nonchalantly agreed with Cao Guangyu.
Ah, right, right, you are correct.
Cao Guangyu instantly felt proud: See, even Old Jiang says Jiang Tian is the best. Are you guys using your eyes just for breathing?
Old Jiang, what kind of taste do you have? Clearly, Song Qingqing is the most beautiful, Ren Ziqiang said with disdain.
Zhou Chao couldnt help but mutter: Old Jiang, dont you like women at all? I feel like you have no interest whatsoever.
Jiang Qin stretched lazily and leaned back in his chair: Women, they just slow down my ability to make money.
Making money? Youre not wasting your beautiful youth working part-time jobs, are you?
Part-time jobs my foot. You sparrows, what do you know of my ambitions?
Ren Ziqiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: I get it, Old Jiang, do you lack confidence?
Zhou Chao also realized: No wonder you never dated in high school, afraid of rejection? Actually, you dont need to chase someone like Song Qingqing, that level is too high. But with your looks, you definitely have a chance with someone more ordinary.
????
This is like doing a reading comprehension test without looking at the question, just blindly guessing, right? Is that what I meant?
But since the conversation had reached this point, Jiang Qin did become a bit curious about this Song Qingqing, so he turned to take a look.
Song Qingqings makeup was indeed well done, showing a lot of skill, at least not like those girls who just learned makeup, unable to hide flaws and having cakey foundation. But even with makeup, her attractiveness was only around a 6 out of 10, similar to Wang Huiru.
Feng Nanshus beauty didnt need mentioning, she was a full score enchantress.
But Chu Siqi was definitely better looking than Song Qingqing, and even Hong Yan, whom he met yesterday, was far superior to her.
Old Jiang, Old Jiang?
Ah?
Ren Ziqiang pursed his lips: And you said you werent interested, youre completely mesmerized? Cant you be honest for once!
Jiang Qin chuckled: Yes, Im totally mesmerized.
Forget about it, girls like her wont lack boyfriends, how could they possibly fancy us? I suggest being realistic, find someone gentle and tranquil.
Jiang Qin looked at Ren Ziqiang with new respect: Old Ren, thats a great idea, I completely agree with your view.
After a while, the freshman meeting came to an end.
The students of the Finance Class 4 noisily exited the classroom, following their instructor to the Academic Affairs Office to collect their military training uniforms.
Cao Guangyu, who was at most 172 cm tall, would have been perfect with a 175 cm uniform. That was also what the teacher had planned.
But because there were many girls watching, he felt it would be embarrassing, so he insisted on a 180 cm uniform against the instructors advice, heedless of anyone trying to persuade him otherwise.
Old Cao, can you be honest for once?
What do you mean Im not honest? A 180 cm uniform fits me perfectly!
Cao Guangyu glared at Ren Ziqiang, resenting him for exposing his petty schemes at such a time.
Seeing this, the girls nearby couldnt help but laugh so hard they were almost out of breath, sizing up Cao Guangyu with their eyes. More embarrassingly, the self-proclaimed 180 cm tall Old Cao was the same height as Liu Xiaojuan standing next to him. He shamelessly asked, Youre also 180 cm? which made Liu Xiaojuan extremely awkward.
After getting their military training uniforms, the four of them returned to the dormitory and decided to go out for a meal together.
Jiang Qin had gone out with Feng Nanshu last night, so they hadnt been together as a dorm. Now that everyone was present, they definitely wanted to enjoy a good meal outside.
Old Cao, youre a rich second generation, so you should treat us to the first meal, right? Ren Ziqiang patted his shoulder and asked.
Get lost, why should I treat?
You always say your family owns a company with millions in daily revenue, you should at least show a bit of your wealth!
Cao Guangyu could certainly afford to treat them to a meal, but after Ren Ziqiang had just mocked his height, he was a million times unwilling to be the one to pay.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin subtly waved, quietly calling Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao over.
Do you guys want Old Cao to treat us?
Of course, Id be happy all day if I could get a meal out of him!
Jiang Qin hooked his fingers: Give me ten yuan each, and Ill make Old Cao treat us.
Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao exchanged glances, quickly took out ten yuan from their pockets, and handed it to Jiang Qin.
Just follow my lead later.
After taking the money, Jiang Qin stuffed it into his wallet, then took out a twenty-yuan note and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao had no idea what he was planning and could only curiously follow behind.
Just as the four of them stepped out of the school gate, Cao Guangyu suddenly stopped, his eyes lighting up as he let out a sharp cry: Damn, I found twenty yuan, guys, I found twenty yuan!
Damn, Old Cao, what luck, finding money right at the start of school, your next four years are going to be smooth sailing! Jiang Qin quickly turned his admiration and surprise up to the max.
Really? Just for twenty yuan?
Zhou Chao also caught on: Damn, why dont I have such good luck? Is this the halo of being tall, rich, and handsome?
Cao Guangyu was hit right in the feels by that tall, rich, and handsome comment: Seems like I truly am a cut above!
Definitely! And not just in studies, I bet your love life is going to bloom in the next few days.
Ren Ziqiang, now also understanding, quickly added an assist: Old Cao, the four of us came out together, and only you got this lucky, youve got to treat us!
Jiang Qin patted Cao Guangyus shoulder heavily: Old Ren is right, it would be bad if you didnt treat us.
No problem, Ill treat!
Brother Cao is so cool!
Brother Cao, truly the epitome of tall, rich, and handsome!
Then, the three of them headed to Nanshan Restaurant. They spent 120 yuan on dishes. Cao Guangyu felt something was off but couldnt quite put his finger on it.
I found twenty yuan but spent 120 on treating them, so Im out 100 yuan?
Cao Guangyu shook his head, feeling that it wasnt right to think of money that way. The twenty yuan he found carried a lucky aura.
Just then, Jiang Qins phone suddenly rang. It was a QQ message from Hong Yan.
Weve finished registering, where shall we go to eat?
Seeing this message, Jiang Qin was startled, realizing he might have misunderstood something. This was a leftover habit from working long hours; hearing someone mention eating, he instinctively thought it was after 9 PM. But a quick glance at their chat history revealed that Hong Yan meant after registration.
But now he was with his roommates, what to do?
It was their first meal together as freshmen. If he left them to eat with someone else, hed be teased for four years.
How about Nanshan Restaurant on the pedestrian street? I heard their dishes are good.
Okay, Im heading out now, wait for me.
Wait, one more thing!
Whats up?
My roommates are here too, do you mind?
Then can I bring some roommates too?
Of course.
