Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn? - Chapter 212: The Rich Second Generation is Awesome!

TL: Etude

After winter passed, the weather quickly warmed up. Trees along the road gradually sprouted tender new leaves, subtly heralding the arrival of spring. Although it wasn’t quite the time for lush grass and chirping orioles, a vibrant vitality was visible everywhere.

At seven in the morning, the F4 group from room 302 arrived together at the cafeteria.

Jiang Qin simply had a bowl of preserved egg and pork congee and a steamer of steamed dumplings (xiaolongbao), then casually tossed a meal card onto the table from his pocket.

“Remember to sign in for me.”

“…”

Cao Guangyu glanced at the meal card left by Jiang Qin, then at his departing figure, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.

What the hell was up with old Jiang? A meal card with barely a hundred in balance, yet he threw it with the swagger of someone writing a blank check?

Damn, he’s cool as hell. I must replicate this move; it’ll definitely come in handy in the future!

Cao Guangyu closed his eyes, replaying the scene in his mind, deeply imprinting it in his memory, feeling like he had unlocked a new skill icon.

“Is Jiang skipping class again today?”

Cao Guangyu snapped back to reality and glanced at Zhou Chao: “What do you mean ‘again’? The guy never even attends classes.”

Zhou Chao patted his belly: “I’ve been freeloading every day recently; I’m starting to get fat.”

Ren Ziqiang looked up: “Aren’t you feeling a bit embarrassed about it?”

“No, I wish these days would never end!”

“…”

An hour later, Jiang Qin arrived at the University of Science and Technology, parked his car by the roadside, and entered Xi Tian.

The shops rented from the University of Science and Technology and the Normal University were still in use and not in a rough state, so they didn’t need much decoration, just some simple refurbishments.

Like applying wallpaper, hanging paintings, modifying the bar counter, replacing long tables with square ones, and buying equipment.

After these series of adjustments, the two branches of Xi Tian officially opened for business today.

The branch at the Normal University was entirely managed by Hu Xin, while Fang Xiaoxuan was transferred to the University of Science and Technology as a part-time manager and trainer.

Since the promotion had not yet started, Xi Tian wasn’t very busy.

Jiang Qin stood at the doorway, a straw in his mouth, watching the students come and go, his face devoid of much expression.

It was said that the male-to-female ratio at the University of Science and Technology was 7:3, with more than twice as many males as females. In such a situation, it might take longer for Xi Tian to penetrate the market compared to other schools.

Considering the different regional environments, Jiang Qin felt that some extraordinary strategies might be needed in the early stages of operation.

Just then, someone in the distance shouted “hunk,” and Jiang Qin turned his head to see Yu Shasha leading a group of over a dozen female university students hustling over.

“Why are there so many people?”

“Well, I came as soon as I got the message, and I called all my sisters from class too,” Yu Shasha said with a bright smile.

Jiang Qin couldn’t help but cough: “Actually, what I meant was for you to occasionally bring people over to sit, to help boost the popularity so that the store looks busier, not to bring people over immediately.”

“That’s fine, I’ll bring them here every day.”

Hearing this, Jiang Qin kept a straight face but felt somewhat suffocated.

Yu Shasha was indeed called by him because Jiang Qin knew that his old classmate was a social terror, capable of making countless friends with just a stroll.

But his intention was for Yu Shasha to help promote the new store and occasionally bring friends to sit.

It was like how some newly opened tea shops often pay people to queue up, primarily for atmosphere marketing.

However, he hadn’t expected Yu Shasha to have so many friends, and so eager at that. In less than three minutes, a total of sixteen girls arrived.

Doesn’t this mean I have to treat each of them to a cup of milk tea?

Man, incurring losses on the first day of opening, how is that reasonable?

“Everyone, please take a seat.”

Jiang Qin ushered them to sit at the small square tables in the rest area outside the entrance, then walked inside and called Fang Xiaoxuan: “Xiaoxuan, prepare sixteen cups of our signature taro milk tea for them to try.”

“Okay, boss.” Fang Xiaoxuan efficiently got to work.

The female university students outside had no idea what they were there for. They had only heard that Yu Shasha’s ‘male god’ had arrived and eagerly followed to take a look. After seeing Jiang Qin in person, their discussions became increasingly animated.

“So this is Shasha’s high school male god? He’s somewhat handsome, but such guys aren’t rare in our university, right?”

“Yeah, he’s not as handsome as I imagined.”

“What’s up with Shasha? In the dorm, she talked about him like he was glowing, but he’s totally not.”

“I’m not sure, maybe it’s because he’s a good student? I heard he’s from Linchuan University.”

“Being a good student makes you a male god? That’s too hasty.”

With so many male students at the University of Science and Technology, the female students there generally had high standards.

Moreover, they were still naive and foolish college students, often basing their definition of a male god on appearance alone, which made them feel Jiang Qin was somewhat overrated.

Especially Yu Shasha’s roommates, Tang Li, Gu Tiantian, and Chen Wenfang, who were very familiar with Yu Shasha and had seen many handsome guys around her, couldn’t comprehend.

“Shasha, your male god doesn’t seem as godlike as you described.”

“Please, you know very little about my male god.”

Yu Shasha had just finished speaking when Jiang Qin came out of the store, picked a stool, and sat down nearby, intending to make casual conversation.

Before he could even open his mouth, a male student wearing a thin down jacket and a black and white checkered scarf, looking suave, approached.

He arrived at the entrance of the milk tea shop, glanced around, and finally set his eyes on Yu Shasha.

“Shasha, I have a basketball game this afternoon. Are you coming to watch?”

Yu Shasha turned to look at him: “I’ve already said no, my male god is here, and I don’t have time. Sorry, Hou Xiangkai, maybe next time.”

The male student, named Hou Xiangkai, frowned and looked at Jiang Qin: “You’re her male god? Why? What’s so godly about you?”

“?”

Jiang Qin sized him up and noticed his branded attire. After a moment of thought, he straightened his chest: “Sorry, just an ordinary and unremarkable rich second generation.”

Hou Xiangkai was momentarily stunned, then his gaze shifted to Jiang Qin’s attire: “You call yourself a rich second generation dressed like that? Looks like cheap street market stuff.”

“I’m not interested in clothes, but I’m generous with money. See Yu Shasha’s fifteen friends here? I’m going to use my living expenses to treat each of them to a cup of milk tea. Can you afford that?”

Hou Xiangkai instantly scoffed: “How much is a cup of milk tea? And you call that living expenses, a rich second generation? That’s a joke!”

Jiang Qin calmly looked at him: “Anyone can talk big. If you’ve got the guts, you treat them. If you’re broke, better step aside and stop blocking our conversation.”

“Damn it…”

“What’s wrong? You can’t handle it? But just talking big doesn’t convince anyone.” Jiang Qin’s words were dripping with sarcasm.

“Fine, just you wait.” Hou Xiangkai glared coldly at him and stormed into the milk tea shop.

Fang Xiaoxuan, busy making milk tea, saw him barge in, demanding sixteen cups of milk tea, and was momentarily dumbfounded.

However, Jiang Qin quickly followed him inside, sending a glance towards Fang Xiaoxuan. Although she was confused, she accepted the money.

After Hou Xiangkai received his change, he looked at Jiang Qin: “How about that?”

“Damn, a real rich second generation is indeed impressive, I’m convinced,” Jiang Qin admitted with admiration.

“So, you have less money than me and are not as good-looking as me. Why are you considered a male god?”

“Hmm, you make a fair point. From today onwards, the title of male god is yours.”

Hou Xiangkai sneered and left the milk tea shop, grandly announcing that he was inviting all the girls for milk tea, which immediately sparked a chorus of cheers.

Jiang Qin also stepped out, calmly sitting back on the stool, watching the scene with a detached air.

Damn, that was a close one. If it weren’t for Qin Zi’ang’s sudden appearance at the University of Science and Technology, he would have lost the cost of sixteen cups of milk tea today.

“I have to say, Hou Xiangkai seems more like a male god.”

Gu Tiantian suddenly spoke, her words clearly suggestive.

“Yeah, his family is wealthy, he dresses well, and he’s great at basketball. He’s definitely a male god.”

Tang Li also nodded, casting a glance at Jiang Qin.

But Jiang Qin remained unmoved, propping his chin with one hand, as if his thoughts were far away.

Shortly after, Hou Xiangkai, who had just received a round of praise, also sat down, getting very close to Yu Shasha and making snide remarks about Jiang Qin.

Yu Shasha’s dormitory sisters were also keen on matchmaking the two, as who wouldn’t like a friend’s boyfriend who invites everyone for milk tea? With such a person around, they would certainly benefit more than they did today.

Five minutes later, Fang Xiaoxuan came out with the milk tea, approaching Jiang Qin.

“Boss, the milk tea is ready.”

As she spoke, the previously cheerful crowd instantly quieted down, all eyes turning to Jiang Qin.

Hou Xiangkai’s gaze also shifted from Yu Shasha to Jiang Qin, looking somewhat bewildered as he saw Jiang Qin stand up.

“Xiaoxuan, please distribute the milk tea to the beautiful ladies present.”

“Okay, boss.” Fang Xiaoxuan began handing out the milk tea.

Jiang Qin coughed before speaking: “Ladies, this is our Xi Tian’s unique taro milk tea, our signature specialty. The secret recipe was passed down to me by an elder. Please try it, and if you like it, I hope you’ll continue to support our business in the future.”

The girls were astonished: “This milk tea shop is yours?”

“You could say that. This is already our fourth branch.”

“…”

“Holy crap, wasn’t he said to be a freshman? And he’s already opened four milk tea shops?”

Amidst the murmurs, a girl with a ponytail took a sip of the milk tea, her eyes lighting up: “Wow, this is really delicious, creamier and smoother than any I’ve had before, worthy of being the signature!”

Jiang Qin smiled slightly: “I’m glad you like it, thank you for your appreciation, I’m honored.”

Tang Li: “…”

Gu Tiantian: “…”

Chen Wenfang: “…”

Hou Xiangkai was taken aback: “But wasn’t it me who treated everyone to this milk tea?”
