Chapter 179: I Want to Go to University!
TL: Etude
Tony, can you do me a favor? I want a hairstyle like that too!
??????
The same as that girls hairstyle, one that can be tied into a ponytail or let down over the shoulders. Can you do it?
Uh, well
Me too, me too! I dont want to perm anymore. Can you cut mine the same way?
Um, my girlfriend is getting her hair washed. When shes done, can you give her the same style?
Upon seeing the goddess-like Feng Nanshu and He Manqi, who had transformed from a non-mainstream look to that of an innocent girl using Nanshu as a template, customers in the barbershop couldnt help but be agitated, their eyes shining with excitement.
There was also a dark-skinned boy who, taking advantage of his girlfriends absence at the hair wash, unilaterally decided on her hairstyle.
This was the power of a live demonstration.
Now, the pressure was on Tony, and he was overwhelmed.
People look good with a simple high ponytail because they are naturally beautiful, not because of my skills.
My scissors can only trim hair, not faces!
You guys are you sure you want the same style?
Yes, definitely. Look how beautiful they look with it. Hurry up and cut it!
Watching Tonys conflicted expression, Jiang Qin couldnt help but laugh, playfully pinching Feng Nanshus hand, causing her to squeak in protest.
In this era, the internet wasnt as developed as in later years. Popular styles and fashion trends spread through small circles, and it was common to style ones hair after someone elses.
Tony picked up his scissors, focused and calm, and began to mass-produce the Feng Nanshu replica.
Meanwhile, the original rich girl and her newly-transformed companion were taken by Jiang Qin out of the barbershop. They sat down at a nearby outdoor barbecue stall, casually ordered some skewers, and planned to fill their stomachs.
Brother Jiang Qin, tell me more about Sister Nanshu. I want to learn!
She
Just as Jiang Qin uttered a word, he turned to look at Feng Nanshu: You better not eavesdrop.
Feng Nanshu pursed her lips: I wont eavesdrop.
Jiang Qin, somewhat reassured, turned to He Manqi: Aloof goddess, cold moonlight, an earthly ideal, a scholarly girl all these describe your Sister Nanshu. Back then, she was the dream of every boy in Chengnan High School.
He Manqis face lit up with awe: Then, she must have been the prettiest girl in your high school, right?
Not just in high school. Wherever she went, she was the most beautiful girl. Ive never seen anyone more beautiful than her. Moreover, she always topped her grade in exams, barely spoke to others, and was sparing with her words when answering questions. Mysterious to the extreme. Thats what a goddess is, Manqi. You should strive to excel both inside and out.
After whispering this, Jiang Qin glanced over, a bit concerned.
Fortunately, Feng Nanshu was sipping water from a cup, looking like an adorable, silly cat. Her posture was proper, and her expression was obedient and cute, as if she hadnt heard anything.
Did you eavesdrop? Jiang Qin asked her.
Feng Nanshu shook her head earnestly, her voice soft and gentle: I didnt eavesdrop, but Jiang Qin, I wasnt always at the top of my grade.

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, the barbecue owner brought over the skewers. Jiang Qin decisively changed the subject and began eating meticulously, pretending he hadnt said anything.
After they finished eating and were about to leave, they suddenly heard a scream from the barbershop across the street. A girl with a large face and a ponytail, resembling Feng Nanshus, emerged, dragging a dark-skinned boy and fuming with anger.
She was cursing under her breath, every sentence wishing peace upon his family.
Brother Jiang Qin, Im off to study!
The young girl flipped her ponytail, the words going to study still echoing in He Yijuns ears like thunder, leaving him unsettled for a long time.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Qin nonchalantly sipped his tea.
He enjoyed seeing He Yijuns bewildered face, as if he had never seen the world. Impressive, right? With just one intervention, I achieved the human limit.
Mr. He, Ive done what I promised. Remember to help me with the gathering arrangements.
Dont worry, Mr. Jiang. Ill have an answer for you tomorrow. But Im curious, why are you so eager to attend this gathering?
I want to get a whiff of the smell of money.
Knowing Jiang Qin didnt want to elaborate, He Yijun simply smiled and didnt press further.
Jiang Qins thought process was straightforward: although his group buying platform had started, the profits were still insufficient. He needed to expand his business scope and radiate into more fields.
On the Winter Solstice, he had centered a marketing campaign around the Xi Tian Milk Tea shop, selling milk tea cards, which received wide acclaim.
Since he could sell milk tea cards that allowed customers to consume at the shop, he could also collaborate with various merchants to sell different kinds of in-store discount coupons.
However, the problem was Jiang Qins lack of fame, which made it difficult to partner with major merchants in Linchuan.
Who are you? they would question.
A mere ordinary college student, even if he was a star student, what could he do?
If Wanzhong Mall hadnt targeted the college student market and thereby purchased advertising services on the Zhihu forum, Jiang Qin might not have had the opportunity to meet He Yijun.
But the Linchuan Commerce Associations New Years gathering was clearly an opportunity. By getting his face known there, he might find someone willing to try online sales.
Some jujube trees wont reveal if they bear fruit unless you shake them. So, he had to find a way to shake them.
KTVs, bars, hotels money was to be spent. So why couldnt it pass through his pocket first?
Mr. He.
At that moment, He Yijuns secretary came in flustered: Manqi just asked me to help her with a math problem.
He Yijun was beaming: Thats my girl. You should teach her!
I Ive long returned my math knowledge to the teacher.
No worries, we have a star student here. No problem is too hard for him!
He Yijun, full of enthusiasm, completely ignoring Jiang Qins reluctance, took him to the next room to help his daughter with math.
When handed the paper, Jiang Qin smiled: The star student doesnt easily intervene, Manqi. Think about it again. I believe in you.
Thank you, Brother Jiang Qin. Ill try to think harder.
Jiang Qin turned to He Yijun, speaking earnestly: We need to foster a childs ability to learn independently. They cant always ask others when facing difficulties. What will they do during exams? Ask someone else?
He Yijun gave a thumbs up: Professional!
Alright, Mr. He, I wont disturb you further. Just give me a call when you have news.
Jiang Qin left, his smile fading, his heart in turmoil.
Damn, I dont even remember high school math. This is bad. Really bad! I must review.
Determined, Jiang Qin drove back to Linchuan University, called up Cao Guangyu, Ren Ziqiang, and Zhou Chao, and headed to the teaching building, swearing to catch up on all the knowledge he had missed!
