Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 337 - 138: Panpan, I’m Waiting for You at the Finance College! (Part 2)
Like the understanding between Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue, everyone here is a genius, sharing a natural tacit understanding and common language that ordinary people lack.
"Qiu Wen, what a coincidence!"
Su Zelin took the initiative to greet her.
"Yes, quite a coincidence."
To run into Su Zelin at Zhejiang University didn’t seem too odd to Yan Qiuwen.
She glanced at the construction site nearby and the two small computer shops that had closed, casually asking, "Branch store?"
Yan Qiuwen had mentioned to Qin Shiqing that Su Zelin would soon open many New Era branch stores.
When she saw this construction site, she had a hunch that Su Zelin was targeting the Zhejiang University market.
This construction site is for a future New Era branch.
Other campus businesses have long been saturated, with only the digital market left open.
And with such a large storefront, she couldn’t think of anything else but New Era.
For others, hearing these two seemingly random words would lead to bewilderment.
But for two geniuses having a conversation, there were no barriers.
"Yeah."
Su Zelin was noncommittal.
He figured he couldn’t hide it from Yan Qiuwen.
This girl was too smart.
She could infer many things from subtle clues.
"Not bad!"
It wasn’t surprising for Su Zelin to open a branch store.
What was surprising was how quickly he managed to establish connections at Zhejiang University.
Without a strong background, it would be impossible for Zhejiang University to allocate such a large space for a New Era branch, regardless of money.
He had strong connections on the Zhejiang University side, or had leveraged other networks to connect with people here.
At least at the deputy dean level, or possibly even the dean.
After all, this was such a large space; even if it wasn’t a hot commercial area, a deputy dean couldn’t make decisions easily.
"It’s alright!"
Su Zelin coughed lightly, "Over there with Qin Shiqing, well, you know."
"I won’t tell her about the branch."
Yan Qiuwen promised.
But I did tell her about the store at the Finance Institute; sorry about that.
"Thanks."
Su Zelin nodded, seemingly unaware.
"See you!"
Yan Qiuwen didn’t say much, and turned to leave.
This is the exchange between "Lu Xiaofeng" and "Ximen Chuixue."
Always simple, yet rich in information.
The genius girl found herself feeling a bit proud.
It’s not easy to fool someone like Su Zelin, but she achieved it.
While Yan Qiuwen was lost in these thoughts, the tough guy behind her frowned.
Not telling her about the branch? Shouldn’t it be "won’t tell her about it?"
The first two words seemed unnecessary to Yan Qiuwen.
"Boss, haven’t gone back yet?"
Just then, Kang Baohong emerged from the construction site and, seeing Su Zelin still in a daze by the roadside, casually asked.
"Just ran into a friend."
"Oh, a student from Zhejiang University?"
"Yeah, a girl with a lot of depth."
...
Weekend.
Finance Institute campus, Dormitory 302.
After class, with nothing much to do, Old Feng, Hou Yongjin, Zeng Kaiping, and Cai Wensheng returned to the dorm and started playing Da Di.
Su Zelin, on the other hand, wandered through the chatrooms of Sina.
Chatrooms were still popular gathering places for internet users, and Sina had several hundred categorized chatrooms.
Among them, names like "Midnight Love Talk," "Middle-aged and Beyond," "Passionate Men and Women," and "Will You Come Tonight" were particularly popular, each with online users easily exceeding a thousand, and all were active netizens; a message you sent could be instantly drowned out.
Basically, unless you were really clueless, you’d know what these chatroom users were there for.
With the rapid development of the internet and the rise of QQ and chatrooms, it was as if Pandora’s box had been opened, creating more opportunities for those reserved in real life, those yearning for excitement.
"Damn, my luck is so bad, every hand is crap, I keep losing stars, recently I’m on an unlucky streak like no other! I’m done, not playing anymore!"
Zeng Kaiping tossed his cards, frustrated.
Playing for over an hour, he hadn’t won much.
Actually, the spirited guy wasn’t unlucky; he was just terrible at cards.
A typical case of being bad yet loving to play, he was always the one inviting people to play cards, and usually the first to lose enough to not want to continue.
In later years, the spirited guy became obsessed with Mahjong and was regarded as a generous donor, being welcomed everywhere; he was definitely the best Mahjong buddy of the 21st century, always welcomed wherever he went, lucky for him, Hed had plenty of money; losing tens of thousands a day was bearable.
After the card game ended, they settled accounts, and Zeng Kaiping asked, "What’s everyone planning this weekend?"
"Ah Ping, targeting another concubine?"
Su Zelin joked.
"Third Brother, as expected of Su Banxian!"
The spirited guy originally wanted to act cool but was instantly seen through, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Su Zelin thought, "You always ask when you have plans with a female netizen, boasting to others; can I not predict it?"
"This time it’s ’Embracing the Lute,’ isn’t the username lovely? You can tell she’s skilled in music right away!"
Zeng Kaiping laughed slyly.
Sure enough, it was another name like this.
The dorm crowd wasn’t surprised.
"Impressive!"
Hou Yongjin gave him a thumbs up. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
No matter what, Zeng Kaiping managing to hook up with so many dates within a year was indeed an achievement.
Each time, it was the others traveling from afar to meet him, the furthest even lived in West Sea, far from Zhejiang Province, spanning half of Xia Country to find him; just for this, the spirited guy’s achievements were unmatched; of course, credit mainly went to Su Zelin’s chatting prowess.
"Ah Ping, we haven’t even held a girl’s hand; yet you’ve almost reached double digits, jealousy is eating us alive!"
Hu Xu complimented him, though secretly thinking, "I really can’t handle such fortune; you keep it for yourself!"
