  Chapter 192: Jiang Qi a Dog

  TL: Etude

  “Old Jiang, when did you start seeking Buddha’s help?”

  “What’s the use of seeking Buddha? Does Buddha wear silk stogs?”

  “?!”

  Jiang Qin quietly put down his wine gss, recalling the joyous night in Room 207 when he locked the door, caressing Feng Nanshu’s snow white feet while abs knowledge.

  Some educational experts’ research findings are truly undeniable.

  The efficy of learning with joy is ihe highest.

  This is because the human body has a memory transmission substahat is stimuted by happiness and closely lio the brain’s tral system. When nerve cells are in a highly excited state, memory is signifitly enhanced, accelerating learning and solidifying memory.

  Jiang Qin didn’t sider himself a photographic-memenius. His dazzling achievements were simply the result of finding the right methods.

  Cao Guangyu’s face turned green with envy.

  Damn it, he didn’t fail his exams, and now he’s trig me into a meal? Damn that bastard! I ’t stay in Room 302 anymore, I’ll apply to ge dorms after the winter break. There’s a dog in there!

  Jiang Qin patted his shoulder, signaling him to rex, thehe buzzing vibration and took out his phone.

  “Big brother, let’s go for a walk.”

  “No walk.”

  “I want to go for a walk, it’s the holidays.”

  “But I’m currently at a css gathering. How about you e to Room 208 in an hour?”

  “Okay.”

  Jiang Qin pocketed his phone and hurriedly ate a few more bites.

  After the meal, Song Qingqing and Jian suggested karaoke. There was a KTV not far from the school, with average facilities but popur due to its proximity.

  Old Lu waved his hand, deing the invitation.

  With year-eings and various reports to write, finding time for a meal was already a stretch.

  Seeing Old Lu’s refusal, Jiang Qin also deed. He had to return to Room 208 iernoon to make holiday arras.

  The group-buying delivery service was officially suspe noon today. All part-time delivery staff stopped taking orders after receiving their wages.

  Although the group-buying service was suspehe forum’s operation tinued, especially for students like Old Cao, who couldn’t resist showing off on the forum daily.

  In this situation, each person in Room 208 only o act as an administrator for one day, making the holiday period manageable.

  “Has the group-buying business been suspended?”

  When Jiang Qin arrived at Room 208, the team was already there, chatting and waiting for him in the warm, foggy-windowed room.

  “We stopped after delivering the noon order. The delivery staff’s wages have been fully paid, and the New Year’s bonuses have been distributed. Here’s the ledger.”

  Wei Lann handed over two forms. Jiang Qin looked them over and nodded in satisfa.

  “Tan Qing, how’s the settlement with the merts?”

  “The walking street and college supermarket are settled. Only Wanzhong Mall is pending.”

  “No worries, they’re not in a rush with their deep pockets. Let’s settle it after the holidays. Maybe I’ll pay a New Year visit to Old He, and the payment be a New Year’s gift. After all, I’m like a little brother to him.”

  Jiang Qin t at creating opportunities, already setting up a pit for He Yijun to fall int the New Year’s greetings.

  Then, he led the Room 208 team in a year-end summary meeting.

  The keyword for 2008 was “start-up,” and for 2009, “takeoff.”

  Thus, there was much preparatory work to be done during the winter break, and everyone o adapt in advance.

  The marketing team had to do background checks and gather information about the Lin busiys, uanding their es and preferences, based on the business cards Jiang Qin provided.

  The tent team o popics to warm up for year’s group-buyis.

  The tech team had a retively easy task: maintain the website, optimize it, and ehe forum’s stability.

  Lu Xuemei’s publicity team had the easiest task since operations were slowing down, eliminating the need for much design work.

  After arranging the tasks for each team, Jiang Qi out a sigh, ready to deliver a lengthy speech of gratitude to enhahe team’s cohesion.

  It was the holidays, the New Year. After striving together towards a on goal for so long, it was time for some seality.

  He had prepared this thank-you speech the night before, a lengthy 4,000 words, which with his emphatic boss-like delivery would take about half an hour. He was sure it would deeply move these bright yet naive uy students.

  However, the sed, a series of footsteps approached from outside the door.

  Feng Nanshu arrived at the entrance of Room 208, her clear eyes sing the room until they found Jiang Qin. However, seeing that a meeting was in progress, she politely halted at the doorway, apparently pnning to wait until it was over to e in.

  Jiang Qin coughed upon seeing her and csped his hands together.

  “I’m not like other bosses. I’m not good at stirriions.”

  “Of course, I also particurly dislike wasting everyoime with long-wihank-you speeches. That’s something only a low-level and vulgar boss would do.”

  “All our thousand words boil down to one phrase: Enjoy your holidays. Dismissed!”

  Upon hearing this, Room 208 erupted into appuse.

  They had been students for so long, and the thing they hated most was lengthy speeches from leaders. The y to pretend to listen attentively was excruciating. pared to that, their boss was siderate, always thinking of his employees!

  “Wuhu, the boss finally did something humane!”

  Su edly shouted, quickly pag her backpad luggage, and rushed out of the office to catch her train, exging a quick greeting with the boss dy.

  “Damn, why does this female programmer speak so crudely?”

  Jiang Qin muttered, taking Feng Nanshu’s hand and giving it a gentle squeeze, then directed everyoo unplug all necessary sockets.

  Unlike Su Nai, who always bought tickets for trains she could barely catch, enjoying the thrill of running through the station, the others, though equally homesick, effitly unplugged the sockets and gathered their personal items before leaving.

  Only Lu Feiyu remained seated, skillfully pying Spider Solitaire.

  “Old Lu, aren’t you going home?”

  “I’m a local, no rush. You go ahead, Brother Dong. See you year.”

  Dong Wenhao g the couple holding hands, thinking to himself, ‘See you year, my foot. The boss is clearing the room to romahe boss’s dy, ’t you see?’

  This guy, where did his emotional intelligence go?

  So, he forcibly pulled Lu Feiyu up by the arm off the chair.

  “Brother Dong, why are ying me?”

  “I’m headed to the train station. Got a lot of luggage, could use your help.”

  “Alright, boss, I’m off. Don’t miss me too much!” Lu Feiyu waved his hand as he was dragged out of the office.

  Dong Wenhao facepalmed, covered Lu Feiyu’s mouth, smiled, said goodbye to the boss dy, and disappeared around the er of the entrepreneurship ter’s staircase.

  Looking at the y office, Jiang Qi a sense of nostalgia.

  Iember, this pce was empty and cluttered, but now it had taken shape. Every pnt, every brid tile, Jiang Qin had tirelessly iated for them with Principal Zhang and Director Yan. Was it easy?

  “Little rich dy, when are you leaving?”

  “I’m leaving tomorrow.”

  “What a ce, I’m also leaving tomorrow. Then there’s no hurry, let’s go watch a movie in Room 207.”

  Feng Nanshu’s eyes sparkled, and she obediently followed him to Room 207. After log the door, they watched “Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale,” a movie they hadn’t finished on Christmas Eve.

  The film indeed had a way of stirriions. Not only was the Akita dog adorable, but the heart-wreng storyline also left Feng Nanshu feeling a bit sad.

  “Jiang Qin, I want to have a dog too.”

  Jiang Qin, leaning on the sofa, shook his head: “Pets aren’t allowed in the dorms. The dormitory auntie might spank you, and I won’t stop her.”

  Feng Nanshu paused for a while: “Let’s find one on campus and keep it here.”

  “Let’s talk about it when we e back. Keeping a dog is a lot of work. You have to walk it every day, and if you don’t walk it long enough, especially the more eies, they might start destroying things at home…”

  “?”

  Feng Nanshu stared at him bnkly, resolved to get a dog after the holidays.

  Jiang Qin looked at the time; it was already past four iernoon. He o visit Xi Tian, close up for the holidays, and distribute New Year’s red envelopes to them.

  He didn’t o give oo Gao Wenhui, who, with her stant troublemaking in the dorm, had forfeited her entire sary and was likely bound to servitude for ten more years tain her freedom.

  “Jiang Qin, my socks are missing again.” Feng Nanshu looked at him with pleading eyes.

  “Don’t move, stay put. I’ll find them for you.”

  Jiang Qin got up, lifted the b, and found a pair of cotton socks behind him. He slipped them onto her white feet, put on her shoes, zipped them up, and took her hand to the front pza.

  Cheg the ats, clearing the stock, pulling the power switch, log the door.

  Hu Xin, the current store maook care of everything diligently and was handed a red envelope by Jiang Qin as she left.

  Gao Wenhui, drooling with envy, asked, “Jiang Qin, where’s my red packet?”

  “It’s all deducted.”

  “Why?”

  “You know why.”

  Gao Wenhui looked bnkly at Feng Nanshu, who took a deep breath, preteo be clueless, and scampered away with Jiang Qin.

  The m, most students had already left the campus. Zhou Chao, living farthest from home, was the first to leave, den with bags and on the verge of tears.

  Cao Guangyu and Ren Ziqiang also left oer the other, leaving Jiang Qin alone in the dorm.

  After breakfast, uhe bright sun, Jiang Qio the women’s dormitory of the Finance Department, gave the deducted red envelope to Gao Wenhui, warned her not to cause trouble again, and then escorted Feng Nanshu to the Cui Zhu Garden unity across from the school.

  Uncle Gong was already waiting in his car, putting down his book “The Arrogant Son-in-Law iy.”

  “Master Jiang, will you join us?”

  “I still have some things to do in Lin. You go ahead and take the little rich dy home.”
