  Chapter 128: Very Obedient and gy

  TL: Etude

  Driving from the East Campus to the main campus, Jiang Qin steered the car single-handedly, ensuring a smooth and fortable ride.

  In the back seat, Dong Min, the photographer, and Chu Siqi sat in silence, creating a somewhat quiet aually awkward atmosphere, particurly in the fined space of the car. This made everyone feel uneasy.

  To break the silence, Dong Min started asking Chu Siqi about her hometown and if she had a boyfriend.

  Chu Siqi respohat she was single and from Jizhou. While speaking, she g Jiang Qin in the driver’s seat, notig him rolling down the window to greet a security guard at the main campus and casually snatg two jujubes from the guard’s hand.

  “Jiang Qin, where is yirlfriend from?” Dong Min asked.

  After wiping the jujubes on his clothes and taking a bite, Jiang Qin replied, “I wouldn’t dare share such details with a big reporter like Dong Min. If I bee successful in business iure, my past retionships could bee sdalous material.”

  Dong Min ughed at his remark, “I am a professional journalist, not a paparazzossip magazine. I won’t affect your reputation.”

  “I have never been afraid of impag my owation,” Jiang Qin said, his smile fading as he slowed the car down to enter a pedestrian ne.

  Dong Min was momentarily puzzled but then uood his meaning. He wasn’t afraid of his owation being affected; he was worried about his girlfriend being impacted.

  Heh, he’s quite protective.

  Despite being a journalist for the serious and formal Lin Youth Daily, Dong Min, who interviewed hundreds or even thousands of people annually, rarely got to hear any juicy gossip. Also, Jiang Qin’s mature yet not dull demeanor, his steadiness bined with humor, and his ability to charm others easily made him a likely didate for having many romantiters. Sudividuals often turn out to be womanizers.

  Even if he wasn’t a womanizer, he would definitely not allow a girl to leave her belongings in his car, as it would be akin t territory and deg ownership.

  Unless he truly liked her and indulged her.

  This made Dong Min even more curious about what kind of girl could captivate such a versatile man.

  “Jiang, let’s not discuss details, just tell me where she’s from. That wouldn’t reveal who she is, right?”

  Jiang Qin, avoiding a stray cat by gently pressing the brakes, replied, “She’s from our area as well.”

  Dong Min was surprised, “High school cssmates? tinuing a retionship from high school to uy is indeed rare.”

  Jiang Qin inwardly thought, why is the whole world so ied iher I’m in a retionship or not? Are they all matchmakers trying to meet their quotas? “We were at the same high school but didn’t talk much the to know each other properly during the summer break.”

  “What’s her personality like?”

  “Very obedient, very gy, and as pretty as a little fairy.”

  Hearing their versation, Chu Siqi, sitting on the right side, leaned ba her seat, her gaze drifting out of the window. Everything seemed uo her.

  She realized that retionships sting from high school to uy were enviable in the eyes of others.

  She had never known this before, always believing that being admired and pursued by many was more prideful.

  But then…

  Very obedient and gy?

  No matter how she thought about it, Chu Siqi couldn’t associate these words with the cold and distant Feng Nanshu, bathed in moonlight.

  How could such a girl be very obedient and gy?

  However, Huiru had wit herself, leaving Chu Siqi no choice but to believe it. Moreover, the expression on Jiang Qin’s face when he spoke of his girlfriend was one of genuine happiness.

  After a while, Jiang Qin parked the car in the front pza ahe three passengers out. After exging a few pleasantries, he drove away. As he exited the uy gates, he g the bow tie pced in front of the passenger seat, hesitating whether to put it ie box.

  He found it somewhat distressing to be stantly asked about his girlfriend.

  But after p for a moment, he smiled slightly, thinking it was best to just leave it there. Hiding it deliberately would only make things more spicuous, as if he were too caught up i.

  What do I have to fear?

  I am fearless in front of both heaven ah!

  Meanwhile, Dong Min, apanied by the photographer and Chu Siqi, met with the student who had exemplified hoy and iy for their interview.

  This senior student was fag a formal journalist for the first time and was visibly nervous, stantly fiddling with the folds of his jeans, especially disoriented by the sound of the SLR camera’s shutter.

  In such cases, a journalist o guide the interview with probing questions.

  The inal question was: What made you think of returning the wallet?

  But now it o be reframed: Did you return the wallet because you possess an inner sense of iy and kindness?

  With the question modified, the interviewee simply had to agree, making the process much simpler.

  Half an hour ter, Dong Min aeam left the teag building and arrived at the rest area in the front pza. She unsciously rubbed her face.

  The two interviews had left her with pletely different impressions.

  Despite being just a freshman, Jiang Qin was calm and collected throughout the interview, with every answer well-crafted. The interview about the act of hoy was exhausting, mostly led by Dong Min’s guiding questions, requirio maintain a smile, leaving her faewhat stiff.

  “Do you feel the differeweeerviewees?” Dong Min asked.

  Chu Siqi nodded in respohe more I think about it, the more impressive Jiang Qin’s interview seems. You hardly had to say anything, Ms. Dong. He trolled the entire pace.”

  Dong Min smiled slightly: “But people who trol the pace like Jiang Qin are rare, especially in uy. Most are nervous, and even if they’re not, their responses aren’t straightforward enough for rep. Jiang Qin is an exception, not the norm. That’s why I brought you here.”

  “He really is outstanding, isn’t he?” Chu Siqi looked up.

  Dong Min nodded: “From that interview alone, I ’t think of aer way to respond than how Jiang Qin did. Although he wasn’t speaking from the heart, purely aiming for a higher tohe ability to do so fortably is quite formidable.”

  “I see,” Chu Siqi felt an eveer trast in her heart.

  While they were speaking, the photographer received a call and came back muttering, “The editor said we ’t use solo photos, the focus should be orepreneurship ter.”

  “Why didn’t he say so earlier?” Dong Min was somewhat exasperated.

  “Anyway, we haven’t left yet. Let’s go take some more photos.”

  With the mood of a weary worker, Dong Min opened her phoo call Directu.

  Directu happily agreed to the additional ce, as showg Lin Uy’s support for entrepreneurial students along with promoting Jiang Qin would be ideal.

  Thus, the address of Room 208 of the Entrepreneurship ter and Cao Xinyue’s phone number were sent to Dong Min’s phone.

  At the same time, in the main office of the Entrepreneurship ter, Tang Lin and the Vice Chairman of the Iional Trade Department, Xue Gang, were having a serious versation in the corridor.

  “Senior, if you don’t start making your presence felt, Hong Yan might end up with someone else,” Tang Lin warned.

  Xue Gang didn’t believe it: “Who?”

  Tang Lin pointed in the dire of Room 208: “The same Jiang Qin I told you about st time. They’ve already progressed to the point of going out for meals together!”

  “I’ve had meals with Hong Yan too, so what?” Xue Gaed.

  “But what if I told you that it was Hong Yan who took the initiative to ask Jiang Qin out for a meal? What then?” Tang Lin challenged.

  Hearing this, Xue Gang’s expression turned serious: “Hong Yan took the initiative to ask him out? Are you sure?”

  Tang Lin nodded affirmatively: “I was there when it happened. But don’t worry, acc to my precise calcutions, your ces of success are 41%, while Jiang Qin’s are 40%. For now, you still have the upper hand.”

  “Doesn’t that mean he could surpass me with just a little effort? What kind of advantage is that?”

  “He’s been quite busy tely, often not around. That’s why I called you here, to make your presence felt and widen the gap. Did you think I’d just have your milk tea for nothing?”

  After hearing this, Xue Ga a surge ency: “Tell me more about this Jiang Qin.”

  Tang Lin was surprised: “Didn’t I already send you a dot with all his information?”

  “I was too fident st time and didn’t take it seriously, just skimmed through it.”

  Relutly, Tang Lin summarized Jiang Qin’s profile for Xue Gang, who ughed upon hearing it.

  Is that all?

  A freshman from the Finance Department, arepreneur in school, what of it?

  No matter how iial he is on campus, it’s not like he make much of a spsh in the real world.

  Besides, as the Vice Chairman of the Iional Trade Department, he wasn’t lesser than arepreneurial student in status.

  And as for earning half a million a month, Xue Gang, whose family owned a coal pany, wasn’t impressed by such a figure.

  While they were talking, the door of the main office opened, and Cao Xinyue came out with Hong Yan, waving at Tang Lin before heading towards the entrance of the Entrepreneurship ter.

  Dong Min aeam soon arrived and, after exging brief pleasantries, were led by Cao Xio Room 208.

  Now, only Chu Siqi, Hong Yan, Tang Lin, and Xue Gang were left in the corridor.

  Lin Uy’s campus was so vast that without a prior appoi, it was unlikely for people to bump into each other by ce. Yet, the world is full of suexplicable ces.

  ces that cause those who wish to meet to miss each other and those who wish to avoid each other to meet again.

  So, when Chu Siqi saw Hong Yan, her expression instantly ged.

  Jiang Qin’s office was here, and so was Hong Yan. She wasn’t a fool not to sense something amiss.

  “Hong Yan, are you still chasing after Jiang Qin?”

  “…”

  “?????”

  Tang Lin’s expression ged, w why such a question osed. She looked at her friend, who was staring coldly at Hong Yan, her eyes indifferent, showing no iion of rebutting.

  Xue Gang, standing beside them, was equally puzzled, thinking to himself how direct this girl was.

  “So what if I am? What’s it to you?” Hong Yaed coldly, not bewildering Chu Siqi, but rather leaving Tang Lin and Xue Gang dumbfounded.
