Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 226: The Boss Lady Will Break Your Legs!

TL: Etude

On Saturday, at the Entrepreneurship Center 208, Jiang Qin arrived early in the morning to reconcile accounts with Xu Yu, who was in charge of finances. After settling all the merchants’ payments, they figured out exactly how much money they had on hand.

4,005,000

It seemed that struggling for half a year was nothing compared to the wealth of a little rich lady who could easily toss out a credit card.

However, Jiang Qin felt that this amount was barely acceptable. After all, a lot of money had been burned in the initial promotion phase, so it was no small feat to have this balance remaining.

Moreover, with the group buying business up and running, especially in the university town area, the investment would not increase further, but the profits were expected to keep flowing in.

For Xu Yu, a regular person and university student, the figure of four million yuan was incredibly daunting. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

After all, being college students, earning over four million yuan in just half a year, solely from their campus operations, felt almost like robbing a bank.

Four million yuan! And this was only after five months of actual business, discounting a month for winter break.

“I thought I was pretty cool, but am I still so poor?”

Xu Yu: “……”

Somewhat disappointed, Jiang Qin said, “Keep the amount confidential. If we need to make a public statement, just say we made four hundred and fifty thousand yuan.”

“To everyone?”

“Yes, everyone.”

Xu Yu once again realized the difference between a boss and an ordinary person. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Any other college student would have likely boasted about earning five million yuan, seeking admiration and envy from the entire campus.

Unlike them, Jiang Qin remained low-profile, almost buried in humility, and constantly playing down his wealth.

But Jiang Qin had his reasons. Before the internet revolution fully unleashed its tsunami, few investors paid close attention to the college student market.

But if you show off and draw their attention, everything would be ruined.

Jiang Qin preferred to be underestimated by everyone until he could stand tall on his own. This strategy allowed him to grow unimpeded.

“Call Lanlan later and tell her to book a table at Juxianlou tonight. We’ll have dinner together.”

Xu Yu pressed her lips together: “Should we invite those from the University of Science and Technology too?”

“Invite Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona, and also the aunties’ treasure, Guo Zihang. Guo contributed a lot to the construction of the dormitory stations in both schools. He deserves recognition.”

“Alright.”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qin suddenly said, “Forget it, let’s invite people from all four universities. Damn it, having made so much money, I should put on a grand display. Otherwise, what’s the point of earning money?”

Hearing this, Xu Yu gasped, thinking to herself how lavish the boss was, showing a different side after making money.

Just then, Jiang Qin’s phone rang. It was Dong Wenhao and Lai Cunqing calling, inviting him to attend the campus beauty award ceremony. Unable to be in two places at once, Jiang Qin decided to go to the Polytechnic University.

Not for anything else, he was just curious to see how big Zhang Zixuan really was.

But this was not out of vulgar desire, rather a pure curiosity.

People are always attracted to large things, like Ultraman, for example.

At eleven in the morning, under the blazing sun, the Polytechnic University’s sports field was surrounded by a sea of people, holding colorful support banners.

The Polytechnic University had selected five campus beauties, but sixty percent of the support banners bore Zhang Zixuan’s name.

This meant that sixty percent of the seventy percent of otakus in the Polytechnic University were her fans.

Indeed, size is justice.

As a child, one loves the giant Ultraman, and grown up, one admires a gigantic campus beauty.

They are still the same boys, unchanged in the slightest.

Then, the award ceremony officially began. Under the hosting of Lai Cunqing, the campus beauties, led by Zhang Zixuan, took the stage one by one to receive their trophies and gifts.

Previously, the team had no money, and the prizes were low-grade goods like MP3 players.

This time, they upgraded the prizes to include computers, smartphones, and even electric scooters, with MP3 players as consolation prizes.

Jiang Qin stood right in front of the podium, observing the scene. He couldn’t help but think why the otakus were so crazy about Zhang Zixuan; she indeed had something special.

Visually, her bosom appeared even more ample than that of the little rich lady.

Feng Nanshu was a beauty who could overpower others in every aspect. To surpass her in any one aspect was no small feat.

Jiang Qin took out a Wangzai (Want Want) milk drink he had bought from the store, inserted a straw, and took a sip.

“Boss!”

Just as he finished his drink, Ding Qiaona approached from backstage, accompanied by two people.

One was a man in a checkered shirt, sporting black-rimmed glasses, around 1.75 meters tall, with a gentle and scholarly appearance.

The other was a girl, slightly plump with average looks, wearing a denim jacket and small freckles on her face. But her eyes were very bright, indicating a lively spirit.

“Boss, this is Chen Anhua, a senior from our fourth year, and Min Yue, a sophomore. Both are outstanding part-time students from the Polytechnic University team.”

Jiang Qin understood; these were the two managers selected by the University of Science and Technology team after their withdrawal from the Polytechnic University, similar to how Dong Wenhao and Su Nai had chosen Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona.

Although the promotion phase was over, tasks like payment collection, customer service, and merchant resource maintenance still needed to be carried on.

A team couldn’t function without a leader, so having branch managers was essential.

However, their appointment required Jiang Qin’s approval, so Ding Qiaona had only brought them to familiarize their faces without much introduction.

This was a typical workplace rule.

Before the decision-maker speaks, no matter how much you favor someone, you can’t overstep your boundaries.

Because the boss has his own preferences and considerations, and your biases might not align with the boss’s.

“Senior Chen, Senior Min, thank you for your hard work these past two months.”

“It’s no trouble at all, boss. We’re just doing our job,” Min Yue replied with ease.

Jiang Qin nodded lightly, “The Polytechnic University needs to smoothly transition to regular operations in the later stage. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me.”

“Understood, boss.”

“Oh yes, tonight at seven, I’m hosting a celebration dinner at Juxianlou. Bring your team along, and get in touch with Qiaona when you arrive.”

Just as Chen Anhua and Min Yue were about to nod in agreement, Ding Qiaona tapped them, reminding them to express their gratitude.

Hearing this, they paused, slowly grasping the significance of Jiang Qin’s words. It wasn’t about where to dine, but the phrase “bring your team along.”

Who can bring a team? Of course, only a manager can.

So, it wasn’t just about dining together; it was about leading the team in ongoing regular operations.

They could be managers.

Chen and Min were elated, feeling as if fortune had fallen from the sky. They expressed their heartfelt thanks.

After all, Jiang Qin had restructured the salaries at the beginning of the year, and the branch managers’ pay was now higher than most regular office workers, not to mention the performance bonuses, which were quite tempting.

After they left, Jiang Qin called Ding Qiaona over and looked at Chen Anhua’s profile for a long while.

“Boss, you seem particularly interested in Chen Anhua. Did you know him before?”

Jiang Qin handed the profile back to Ding Qiaona, “Have you heard of the Six Degrees of Separation theory, also known as the Small World theory? It suggests that a person can be connected to any stranger through a chain of no more than six people.”

Ding Qiaona’s eyes flickered, “Is Chen Anhua a friend of a friend of yours?”

“You’re that smart?”

“Boss, I’m not just a pretty face!”

Jiang Qin smiled slightly, “Alright, go ahead with your work. I’m going to watch Ultraman now.”

“?”

Ding Qiaona followed his gaze and immediately understood, “Boss, I heard from Sister Lanlan that the boss lady is a judo expert. Aren’t you afraid?”

Jiang Qin raised his lips confidently, “Afraid of what? Good friends don’t get jealous of each other, and besides, she doesn’t even know what jealousy is.”

“Who the hell would believe that.” Ding Qiaona pursed her lips, thinking to herself that these straightforward men might not notice, but as a woman, she knew very well how women perceive these things.

The day the boss lady came to deliver milk tea and Gu Tiantian suddenly asked Jiang Qin if he had a girlfriend, the boss lady didn’t say anything. However, during the meal, she was clearly sour as a little vinegar sprite.

One day, the boss will probably get a kick from the boss lady.

Half an hour later, the campus beauty award ceremony concluded. Lai Cunqing, accompanied by Zhang Zixuan, came over to meet Jiang Qin and exchanged a few pleasantries.

In the four rounds of the campus beauty contest, over twenty campus beauties had been selected, but few had the opportunity to interact directly with Jiang Qin.

Partly, this was because Jiang Qin, with a little rich lady by his side, was immune to 99% of beauty standards.

Additionally, Jiang Qin maintained a sense of mystery by rarely appearing in public.

However, Zhang Zixuan was an exception. Firstly, due to her prominent figure, and secondly, as the first spokesperson for the group buying venture, meeting Jiang Qin was business-related, so it wasn’t inappropriate for Lai Cunqing to introduce her.

“Senior Zhang, this is our boss, Jiang Qin from Linchuan University.”

“Boss?”

Zhang Zixuan was surprised, her eyes bright with curiosity.

Jiang Qin’s only public appearance was in the Linchuan Youth Newspaper, but university students rarely read newspapers.

Having been involved in the contest at the Polytechnic University for so long, she had always thought Lai Cunqing was the behind-the-scenes boss. She hadn’t expected someone else, and someone so young, at that.

“Do I call you ‘boss’ too?”

Jiang Qin smiled slightly, “Your endorsement has helped us rapidly open up two campus markets. There might be deeper collaborations in the future, so yes, you can call me ‘boss’.”

Zhang Zixuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “There’s more collaboration to come? Then I thank the boss in advance for the opportunity!”

At this moment, a grinning Lai Cunqing was pulled aside by Ding Qiaona, “Old Lai, have you lost your mind?”

Lai Cunqing looked at her, bewildered, “What did I do?”

“Don’t you have a brain? The boss lady is going to break your dog legs!”

“?????”
