Chapter 188: I Have Face Blindness
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.
Didnt you go play mahjong yesterday?
Yesterday, I lost my underwear to a senior. I must win it back today; otherwise, I cant 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. Im using it to prop up the table.
But the subject you took the other day wasnt this one. Does it matter?
I need to try every subject. So far, Ive had the best luck when using advanced mathematics to prop up the table. I must use it today to win back the seniors underwear.
Since you put it that way, Im relieved. As long as youre not secretly studying, lets 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 wasnt 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 hadnt 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 wasnt that studying was too difficult, but that he hadnt 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, were going to review what you learned yesterday.
Jiang Qin casually pulled up a chair and sat down, accidentally kicking Feng Nanshus leg, which was encased in stockings.
Feng Nanshus eyelashes trembled slightly: Jiang Qin, you also kicked me like this in the Jizhou Library.
Cant help it, my legs are too long. Does it hurt?
It doesnt hurt. Have you kicked anyone else like this?
No, youre the only one.
The University of Science of Technology. Its closer to you, making it more convenient to travel back and forth.
But we still dont have a proper marketing team. Can we get Lanlans or Tan Qings 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 universitys campaign, the marketing group is like the vanguard. Without it, its like a tiger without teeth.
I can arrange for Lanlan to transfer a few people to you, but she and Tan Qing cant be moved. We have bigger plans after the new year, including a group buying service that requires their preparation now.
Then well recruit new people.
Sure, but dont 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 havent met her, right?
Ding Qiaona nodded: But I just asked Dong. He said the boss lady is extremely beautiful.
I wouldnt know. Im face-blind and cant tell whos pretty and whos 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 couldnt 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, Ive heard many stories about the boss. Since meeting him, I feel like Ill 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 Qiaonas 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 hes face-blind while having such a beautiful boss lady?
