Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 281 - 190: The Return of the Dragon King—Old Shen!
The bar owner is a man in his forties, who used to be a guitarist in a somewhat famous band. After the band disbanded, he opened a small bar near University Town.
According to him, selling the bar isn’t due to poor management but because his marriage is having issues, and he isn’t in the mood to continue running it.
Shen Qiushan is now financially well-off, and almost without haggling, he took over the bar.
From the owner, he learned that the landlord intends to sell the shopfront, so Shen Qiushan simply bought the shopfront as well.
A good half-day’s time.
Shen Qiushan directly spent over 7 million!
This bar now thoroughly belongs to him. Even if it becomes popular in the future, he doesn’t have to worry about the landlord raising the rent.
The bar was originally named "wine red"!
Shen Qiushan plans to change the name, but he hasn’t decided what it should be yet.
Actually, the bar could operate directly after taking over, but Shen Qiushan still plans to slightly adjust the interior decoration, primarily to change the signboard and various logos.
After coming out of the bar, Shen Qiushan quietly pondered the matters of naming and decoration.
While passing a tea shop, he saw a familiar figure.
He saw Little Mushroom Head busy behind the counter.
Shen Qiushan hadn’t seen Little Mushroom Head for quite a few days, so he walked into the tea shop with a smile.
Upon hearing the "Welcome" sound at the door, Xu Pipa looked up, ready to greet.
Realizing it was Shen Qiushan, she first paused, then a joyful smile appeared on her little face: "Uncle Shen!"
"Why are you here?"
"Passing by."
"When did you start working?"
"You never mentioned it!"
Shen Qiushan asked while looking at the shop’s price list.
"After the military training ended."
Xu Pipa replied truthfully.
"When are you off work?"
Shen Qiushan asked again. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"I’m a part-timer, today I told the manager I’d work until eight."
Xu Pipa replied softly.
"Eight o’clock?"
Shen Qiushan glanced at the time, it was only a bit past four. He originally wanted to take Little Mushroom Head out for a meal.
But she still had nearly four hours left of her shift.
"Can you quit this job anytime?"
Shen Qiushan asked again.
"I think so."
Xu Pipa nodded.
"Then finish work today and quit. Work for me afterwards."
Shen Qiushan said with a smile.
"Ah?"
Xu Pipa looked at Shen Qiushan in surprise, with confusion in her eyes.
"I’ve taken over the bar next door."
"Help out in the bar whenever you have time afterward."
Shen Qiushan was straightforward.
"Oh!"
"Alright!"
Xu Pipa responded and nodded heavily.
Since Shen Qiushan asked her to help in the bar, Little Mushroom Head surely wouldn’t refuse.
"Alright, you keep busy!"
Shen Qiushan waved his hand and prepared to leave.
But Little Mushroom Head quickly called him back: "Uncle Shen, wait a minute."
"Is there anything else?"
Shen Qiushan looked at Xu Pipa in confusion.
"I’ll treat you to bubble tea!"
Saying this, Xu Pipa swiftly made a Yangzhi Ganlu and handed it to Shen Qiushan: "Here, it’s delicious."
"Really!"
Shen Qiushan laughed, took the Yangzhi Ganlu handed by Little Mushroom Head, and drank a big sip through the straw.
"Isn’t it delicious?"
Xu Pipa looked up, her big eyes full of anticipation.
As if saying: Praise me!
"Hmm, not bad!"
Shen Qiushan gave Xu Pipa the feedback she wanted, then walked out of the tea shop briskly with the Yangzhi Ganlu.
Xu Pipa’s eyes stayed on that tall figure until he disappeared from her sight, then she retracted her gaze.
"Pipa, was that Shen Qiushan just now?"
Then, the female shop assistant who had been busy nearby approached Xu Pipa.
"Yeah, it was!"
"Wow, you even know him!"
"Grandmaster Shen, Nebula Award winner! The news said the film rights for ’Three-Body Civilization’ sold for 250 million the other day!"
The shop assistant sighed and then said rather gloomily, "I didn’t quite dare to recognize earlier, had I known I would have come over for a photo."
Xu Pipa didn’t say anything, he just felt the light on this Uncle Shen was getting more and more dazzling.
Monday.
The eleven-day holiday had ended.
The students started attending classes.
Last night, Shen Qiushan slept in the student dormitory.
Early in the morning, he went to the teaching building with three roommates.
"Wow, it’s so lively!"
"What’s going on today?"
"What else could it be, it’s the club recruitment day!"
The small square in front of the teaching building was very lively today, with various clubs competing and showcasing their displays in a dazzling manner.
Shanghai Young Master Bao Beibei and Feng Sicong were both attracted by the senior sisters dressed lightly, showing off their long legs, and their steps slowed down.
"Street Dance Club is great!"
"I want to learn street dance!"
"No, the Drama Club is also good, hmm, very good indeed..."
Bao Beibei’s gaze wandered around as he exclaimed in admiration.
Feng Sicong patted him on the shoulder, "Beibei, you can’t just say whichever club is good based on the senior sister’s long legs!"
"Puh, you’re the same!"
Bao Beibei gave Feng Sicong a disdainful look, then tidied his hair with his hand, "I want to learn street dance!"
After saying that, he walked briskly toward the Street Dance Club.
More precisely, he walked toward the senior sister in denim shorts with fair long legs.
However, less than a minute later.
He hung his head and returned.
"Young Master Beibei, what’s wrong?"
Feng Sicong asked knowingly, already guessing the outcome.
"I don’t want to learn street dance anymore."
"I want to join the Drama Club!"
Of course, Bao Beibei couldn’t say that the senior sister with long legs thought he was too fat.
"Let’s just go to class first!"
"We’re almost late!"
Feng Sicong shrugged. He was actually also quite interested in those senior sisters with long legs, but the difference between him and Bao Beibei was that he was very self-aware.
He knew there would be no chance for him either, so he just enjoyed the feast for his eyes.
"Old Shen, aren’t you going to join a club for fun?"
Feng Sicong leaned towards Shen Qiushan and asked.
Shen Qiushan shook his head, he wasn’t interested in these university clubs; in his opinion, they were too childish.
Just then, a boy and a girl ran up to Shen Qiushan.
These two were clearly students, but it was also clear they weren’t freshmen.
"President, you’re finally here!"
"We’ve been waiting for you all morning!"
The boy with medium-length hair and a literary vibe said excitedly.
"Uh, President?"
Shen Qiushan looked puzzled at this boy with a literary vibe, "What president?"
"Did you mistake me for someone else?"
"No mistake!"
"Aren’t you Teacher Shen Qiushan?"
The girl with bangs, wearing a little white dress, chimed in.
"I am Shen Qiushan."
"That’s right, no mistake then!"
The girl smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Qianyi, I’m the vice-president of the school’s literary club, and this is Liu Fang, also the vice-president of our literary club."
"Initially, the new president was supposed to be chosen between the two of us, but we feel no one is more suitable to be the president of our literary club than Teacher Shen!"
"Therefore, we unanimously nominate you as the new president of our literary club!"
The girl named Zhang Qianyi explained why they called Shen Qiushan ’President.’
The boy named Liu Fang nodded repeatedly, "Teacher Shen, you mustn’t delay!"
"Our Sanjiang University literary club cannot do without you!"
Shen Qiushan looked at the two earnest yet slightly naive faces in front of him, his mouth twitched slightly.
He was a bit speechless, but also found it somewhat amusing.
These two suddenly appeared and suddenly gave him the identity of a president, which gave Shen Qiushan a feeling of a ’return of the Dragon King.’
And just as Shen Qiushan was hesitating whether to accept the literary club’s president position.
Two long-legged senior sisters, whom Bao Beibei and Feng Sicong both liked, came up smiling, "Teacher Shen, you’re finally here!"
"We’ve been waiting for you!"
"Uh?"
Shen Qiushan’s mouth twitched, "And which club are you from?"
"Teacher Shen, we’re from the Pop Music Club."
"Your song ’Red Rose’ is simply legendary!"
"We’d like to invite you to be the president of our Pop Music Club!"
