Chapter 31: Lost in the World of Sweet Talk
Chapter 31: Lost in Rainbow Farts
While they say there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, someone always thinks their own judgment is the most accurate.
Can Song Qingqing be more beautiful than Jiang Tian?
Pfft! Cao Guangyu's mouth twisted like the waistband of cotton pants. The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. So, he turned to Jiang Qin for his opinion, thinking that if he could get Jiang Qin's approval, that would be truly impressive.
But Jiang Qin didn't even glance at him and naturally had no say in the matter, so he half-heartedly agreed with Cao Guangyu's statement.
"Ah, yes, yes, you're right."
Cao Guangyu immediately felt proud. "See, even Old Jiang says Jiang Tian is the best. Are your eyes only good for breathing?"
"Old Jiang, what's with that look? Clearly, Song Qingqing is the prettiest," Ren Ziqiang said with a hint of disdain.
Zhou Chao couldn't help but mutter, "Old Jiang, do you not like women? Why do I feel like you have no interest at all?"
Jiang Qin stretched lazily and leaned back in his chair. "Women only slow down my money-making speed."
"Money-making? Are you wasting your precious youth on part-time jobs?" Ren Ziqiang asked.
"Part-time my ass! You little sparrows, how do you know my lofty aspirations?"
Ren Ziqiang thought for a moment, then smirked. "I get it now, Old Jiang, do you lack confidence?"
Zhou Chao also understood. "No wonder you never dated in high school, afraid of rejection? Actually, you don't need to chase after someone at Song Qingqing's level; she's too high. But with your looks, you definitely have a chance with someone more average."
"?????"
This is a reading comprehension exercise that doesn't even look at the question, just randomly guessing, is that what I meant?
However, now that the conversation had reached this point, Jiang Qin was indeed a little curious about this Song Qingqing. So, he turned his head to take a look.
Song Qingqing's makeup was indeed well done, showing clear skill. At the very least, she wasn't like those girls who had just learned to put on makeup, unable to conceal flaws and caking on too much powder. However, even with makeup, her looks were only around a 6, similar to Wang Huiru's.
As for Feng Nanshu, there was no need to mention it; she was a perfect beauty.
But Chu Siqi would definitely outshine Song Qingqing, and even the girl Hong Yan he had just met yesterday would surpass her by far.
"Old Jiang, Old Jiang?"
"Huh?"
Ren Ziqiang pursed his lips. "You say you're not interested, but you're completely captivated. Can't you be a bit more honest?"
Jiang Qin chuckled, "Yeah, I'm damn captivated."
"Don't even think about it. Girls like her don't lack boyfriends. How could they be interested in us? I suggest being practical and finding someone gentle and quiet," Ren Ziqiang advised.
Jiang Qin had a newfound respect for Ren Ziqiang. "Old Ren, your idea is quite reasonable. I agree with your point of view."
After a while, the freshman orientation meeting came to an end.
The students of the Finance Class 4 rushed out of the classroom, following the counselor to the academic affairs office to collect their military training uniforms.
Cao Guangyu's height was at most 1.72 meters, and a uniform of size 175 was just right for him, as arranged by Teacher Lv.
However, because many girls were watching nearby, he felt embarrassed and, ignoring the counselor's objections, insisted on getting a size 180 uniform. No one could persuade him.
"Old Cao, can't you be more honest?"
"How am I not honest? Size 180 fits me perfectly!"
Cao Guangyu glared angrily at Ren Ziqiang, resenting him for exposing his little scheme at this moment.
Seeing this, the girls nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter. They continuously sized up Cao Guangyu, and what was even more unfortunate was that Cao Guangyu, who claimed to be 180 cm tall, was the same height as Liu Xiaojuan next to him. He shamelessly said, "Are you 180 cm too?" making Liu Xiaojuan extremely embarrassed.
After receiving their military training uniforms, the four of them returned to the dormitory to discuss and decided to go out for a meal.
Jiang Qin had gone for a walk with Feng Nanshu last night, which had left the dormitory with an uneven number of people. Now that everyone was back together, they all wanted to go out for a nice meal.
"Old Cao, you're from a wealthy family, so you should treat us for the first meal, right?" Ren Ziqiang asked, patting his shoulder.
"Get lost! Why should I treat you?"
"You always say your family runs a company and has a million in daily revenue. Can't you at least show off a bit of your wealth?"
Cao Guangyu could afford to treat them to a meal, but after being teased by Ren Ziqiang about his height, he was a million times less willing to pay.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin quietly beckoned to Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao, bringing them together.
"Do you want Cao to treat us?"
"Yes, of course! If he treats us to a meal, I'll be happy all day!"
Jiang Qin motioned with his finger, "Each of you gives me ten bucks, and I'll make Cao treat us."
Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao exchanged glances, then quickly took out ten bucks each and handed them to Jiang Qin.
"Follow my lead later."
After receiving the money, Jiang Qin stuffed it into his wallet and took out a twenty-yuan bill, holding it in his hand. He then walked forward confidently, as if nothing had happened.
Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao had no idea what he was planning, so they followed him out of curiosity, sticking with him the whole way.
As a result, just as the four of them exited the school gate, Cao Guangyu suddenly halted and his eyes lit up. He immediately let out a high-pitched scream, "Damn, I found twenty bucks! Bros, I found twenty bucks!"
"Damn, Cao, you're so lucky. You found money right at the beginning of the school year. Your four years in college are bound to be smooth sailing!" Jiang Qin reacted quickly, instantly reaching the peak of envy and admiration.
"Really? Just twenty bucks, is it that big of a deal?" Zhou Chao also realized, "Damn, how come I don't have such good luck? Is this the aura of a tall, rich, and handsome guy?"
Cao Guangyu's heart was swayed by the "tall, rich, and handsome" remark, "It seems like I am indeed extraordinary among men!"
"Absolutely, not just in academics, I bet your romantic luck will come soon too."
Ren Ziqiang also understood the situation now and added, "Cao, the four of us came out together, and it just happens that you have such good luck. You should treat us!"
Jiang Qin patted Cao Guangyu's shoulder vigorously, "Old Ren is right. If you don't treat us, it won't be fair."
"No problem, I'll treat!"
"Brother Cao is generous!"
"Brother Cao is truly a tall, rich, and handsome guy!"
Then, the three of them headed to the South Mountain Restaurant, where they ordered a meal for 120 yuan. Cao Guangyu couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.
"I found twenty bucks, treated them for a hundred twenty, so I lost a hundred overall?"
Cao Guangyu shook his head, feeling that money couldn't be counted this way, as the twenty he found came with the aura of good luck. n--0veLb1n
Just then, Jiang Qin's phone suddenly rang, and he found a QQ message from Hong Yan.
"We've finished registration. Where should we go to eat?"
Jiang Qin was momentarily stunned when he saw this message. He realized he might have made a mistake. It was a habit he had developed from working, assuming that when someone mentioned eating, it was always after 9 PM. But a quick look at the chat history confirmed that Hong Yan had indeed mentioned eating after registration.
However, he was currently with his dormmates. What should he do?
"For the South Mountain Restaurant on the pedestrian street, how does that sound? I heard their food is good."
"Sounds good. I'll head there now. Wait for me."
"Wait a moment, there's one more thing!"
"What is it?"
"My dormmates are also with me. Do you mind?"
"Well... Can I bring some of my dormmates too?"
"Of course, that's fine."
