  Chapter 114: Real and Fake Girlfriend

  TL: Etude

  The m dawned with a clear sky and fluffy clouds, making it an ideal day for an outing.

  Employees of Room 208 boarded their bus uhe anization of Dong Wenhao and Su Nai, while Jiang Qin drove to the girls’ dormitory to pick up Feng Nanshu and headed first to Uy of Sd Teology.

  Guo Zihang had been waiting early at the school gate. He was a bit uneasy upon seeing Feng Nanshu, speaking in a nervous, quiet voice.

  The oonlight of gnan High School seemed to exert an intimidating aura, as if it was something to be admired from a distance.

  “Old Guo, where is that milk tea shop you mentioned?”

  “It’s in the same pce you parked st time.”

  Jiang Qin nodded, drove through the main gate, and headed towards the B area of the girls’ dormitory along the pza road.

  Choosing a location for the milk tea shop was a small matter, and typically not something that would require the owner’s personal involvement. However, sihe location was crucial for forum advertising and future traffietization, Jiang Qi it necessary to take a more hands-on approach to ehe best oute and avoid iive promotions ter on.

  The milk tea shop in Uy of Sd Teology, named “Enter”, specialized in taro-fvored milk tea. The owner, a man in his forties named Gao Dawei, was stubborn and hard to persuade. After much bad-forth, they couldn’t agree on a price.

  Jiang Qin believed in winnis before winning deals, so he tried to engage in small talk, asking why Gao Dawei wao sell.

  “I’m divorced and just don’t want to do this anymore. I pn to travel with the money from the sale.”

  “…”

  Jiang Qin found such people the most troublesome: they had plenty of time, were stubborn, and not easily swayed.

  Yet, the milk tea shop was crucial for the forum’s promotional strategy. In this situation, Jiang Qin was at a disadvantage, sometimes forced to make cessions. But the shop owner was incredibly inflexible, refusing to budge on the price.

  Jiang Qin turo Feng Nanshu, who had been following him: “If you’re bored, you go back to the car.”

  “I find it iing,” Feng Nanshu said early.

  “You were almost falling asleep just now, and you find it iing? Go on, I’ll be done soon.”

  “Okay.”

  Feng Nanshu his words auro the car with a patter of steps.

  Actually, Guo Zihang also found it quite dull, especially the haggling part. It really wasn’t iing after a couple of rounds, and he felt sleepy.

  Eh? Since I’m here, why don’t I meet with Senior Cui?

  After some thought, Guo Zihang decided it was a good idea and called Cui Yating on his phone.

  Cui Yating, who had been sleeping in te in her dormitory, was initially annoyed by Guo Zihang’s call, but his straightforward mention of Jiang Qin’s presence signifitly eased her irritation.

  She got out of bed to wash up and woke her roommate, Gurong.

  “R, get up. I’ll introduce you to a rich sed-geion acquaintance. He drives an Audi. You better seize the opportunity,” Cui Yating briefed her while washing up.

  Rubbing her eyes after getting up, Gurong expressed disbelief: “If he was really a rich sed-geion, you would have gone for him already. Why would you leave him for me?”

  “I wish I could, but he has a girlfriend, and I’m not good at stealing someone else’s man. But you are.”

  “Stop it, who says things like that to their best friend? When have I ever poached someone else’s boyfriend?”

  Cui Yating looked at her friend: “Just tell me if you want to try or not.”

  Getting out of bed, Gurong crified: “I’m not ied in poag. I just genuinely want to meet a rich sed-geion friend.”

  “Do you think I’d believe that?” Cui Yating scoffed.

  “Hey, tell me the truth. What’s his situation, and what about his girlfriend?”

  “He’s a freshman at Lin Uy, drives an Audi, about 1.8 meters tall, pretty handsome, and quite witty when he speaks.”

  Gurong was skeptical: “Sounds like a dream guy. His girlfriend must be geous. I don’t stand a ce.”

  “You’d be surprised. His girlfriend isn’t pretty at all. She’s quite short, a bit dark-skinned, wears knock-offs, and I even noticed calluses on her hands. Her family’s financial situation is probably not great.”

  “Impossible, right? A prince charming with a derel? Why would that be?” Gurong couldn’t grasp the cept.

  Cui Yating, having finished her washing up and nolying makeup, casually responded, “Don’t be so skeptical. After all, he’s a freshman. It’s not impossible that he got pursued by a derel during his early days in high school and fell for it.”

  “That makes sense.”

  “You’re not eveing ready, and they’re already here!”

  Takiime, Gurong sat down: “No worries. I’ll dazzle him the moment I appear, making it hard for him to leave!”

  Ten mier, the two eborately dressed friends appeared at the bottom of the building.

  By this time, Jiang Qin was running out of patience. He took the milk tea shop owner’s phone number, pnning to hand it over to Wei Lann fotiation. It wasn’t that he was incapable, but the shop owner was in no rush to sell, going in circles with his endless chatter. Jiang Qin could tell there was nress being made.

  Especially with Mr. Gao’s peculiar way of chatting, drifting off to talk about his ex-wife.

  He mented how tough it was for men nowadays, not only w outside but also cooking at home, handing over all their wages, and being questioned about not buying gifts during holidays.

  “I even have to ask you for moo buy a pack of cigarettes, how I buy gifts? With my life?”

  Jiang Qin was baffled, thinking that the owner wasn’t really keen on selling the shop but rather venting his frustrations uhe guise of a sale.

  “Young man, never get married.”

  “Sure, I’ll take your advice.”

  Jiang Qin stood up a, exhaling deeply oside.

  Business was like this, full of minute issues. It wasn’t as simple as wanting things a certain way. But even the hardest bones had to be chewed; if not this ohen find another. However, the market at the Polyteiiversity was too important to give up.

  As he walked forward, he saw Cui Yating approag with an unfamiliar girl, both dressed up and smiling at him.

  “Jiang Qi me introduce a friend, my bestie, Gurong.”

  Gurong greeted him politely: “Hello, o meet you. Please take care of me.”

  Jiang Qin, feeling irritable, responded briefly: “Guo Zihang was just here. Wait for him; he should be back soon.”

  “We’re not here fuo Zihang. We came to see yrong heard about you from me and is quite ied. I took this opportunity t her over.”

  “…”

  Jiang Qin immediately sensed an attempt to set him up: “Senior Cui, did you fet I have a girlfriend?”

  “So what? It’s not like you’re married. ’t you ge girlfriends? Getting a prettier one would be o show off.”

  Cui Yating eagerly promoted her friend.

  Jiang Qin turo Gurong, asking with a hint of sarcasm: “Miss, what do you think of me?”

  “I think you’re quite nice. What about me?” Gurong threw the question back.

  “I also think you’re beautiful, and I do want to ge girlfriends. You might not know, but my girlfriend and I have been on the verge of breaking up. She just won’t leave me. If you help drive her away, I think we give it a try.”

  “Yirlfriend is here?”

  Jiang Qin poio the Audi across the street: “She’s in the car.”

  Truth be told, Gurong didn’t want to agree. What did he mean by ‘help drive her away’? Although she was ied in poag, such btant frontation was too demeaning. But the sight of the Audi made her heart waver.

  Sihey were about to break up, why not give it a final push?

  Taking a deep breath, Gurong walked towards the Audi and peered inside.

  The Audi’s windows were tinted, obsg the view, so she knocked on the window, ready to start the frontation.

  Cui Yating had told her that Jiang Qin’s girlfriend wasn’t attractive, so Gurong wasn’t worried about her own petitiveness.

  Soon, the car window slowly rolled down, but Gurong’s face stiffened instantly, and she turned a without a word.

  “?????”

  Witnessing this se, Cui Yating was bewildered.

  Her friend hadn’t said a word after approag the car; she just looked inside a. What was going on?

  Driven by curiosity, Cui Yating also went over and saw an incredibly beautiful girl sitting ihe car, casting a cold, questioning g her.

  “No, sorry, wrong car…”

  Cui Yating took a deep breath and quickly ran turong.

  Seeing this, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but ugh. He needed some amusement to lighten his mood after being irritated by the shop owner.

  “Old Jiang, I just went to buy milk tea. Where’s Senior Cui?” Guo Zihang ra this moment.

  Jiang Qin sighed: “Old Guo, I think that auntie suits you better.”

  “?????”
