  Chapter 90: The Eleven-Day Holiday

  TL: Etude

  On a splendidly bright m, the eleven-day holiday began.

  Early in the m, Zhou Chao, who lived the farthest from Lin, hurried to the airport with his luggage, more eager than ao return home.

  Modern college students are peculiar in this way. When choosing uies, they prefer those farthest away, seeking freedom and self-expression in unfamiliar territories. However, during holidays, their enthusiasm dwindles as they face long journeys and costly travel expenses. fronted with this situation, they spare no mer cursing their own foolishness.

  Freedom, it seems, be experienced even in neighb provinces, yet they choose to traverse half the try to pces where others have long since grown weary.

  Zhou Chao, for instance, lived frugally ur days, spending all his savings oickets during holidays.

  “Guys, I’m off!”

  “Old Zhou, remember to take out the trash!” shouted Cao Guangyu from his bed.

  Grumbling, Zhou retorted, “Damn, early in the m and you’re already annoying!”

  “Safe travels then.”

  “If it’s too smooth, the pne might fall!”

  Jiang Qin, also up by now, dressed leisurely, slowly opened a pack of yogurt, sipped it unhurriedly, and began his m routi a rexed pace.

  Zhou Chao, with one hand on his suitcase and the other holding a trash bag, looked on enviously.

  This Brother Jiang, you have to admire him. He chose a uy close to home, which seemed uing at first, but now he basks in a sense of superiority every holiday.

  “Old Jiang, I’m leaving!” Zhou Chao raised his voice, hoping for Jiang Qin’s blessing.

  Jiang Qin, toothbrush in mouth, grinned, “Scram, and bring bae local specialties. If you don’t, I won’t let you in.”

  “Oells me to take out the trash, the other wants specialties. Damn, you guys are something else!”

  Cursing, Zhou Chao opehe door and hauled his suitcase and trash bag out.

  Later, Jiang Qin finished up and stepped out of the dorm. His train was iernoon, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He po have breakfast with Feng Nanshu, the ‘little rich dy,’ then go to the administrative office for some paperwork, set up holiday tasks in Room 208, a Guo Zihang at the train station.

  Feng Nanshu wore a long skirt that day, exuding a youthful charm with her slender, fair legs peeking out, highlighting her rare purity and vitality.

  “Jiang Qin, is my boss certificate ready?”

  “We’ll ask after breakfast.”

  Jiang Qin looked at her radiant face, tempted to pinch it but restrained himself.

  Damn, the impulses of youth are straro when waking up and before bed. Everything seems pinchable at these times, which could spell trouble.

  “Sure,” Feng Nanshu said, following him to the cafeteria. Her skirt fluttered with her steps, drawing numerous gnces.

  “When are you heading home, little rich dy?”

  “My train leaves at three iernoon,” Feng Nanshu replied, biting her chopstick.

  “Shouldn’t you leave earlier? Uncle Gong is driving yht?”

  Feng Nanshu silently gazed at him. You’re leaving at half-past two.

  Jiang Qin offered her a piece of beef brisket, “I heard from Uncle Gong that you’re visiting a mister in Shanghai during the holiday. Who is he?”

  “My dad,” Feng Nanshu replied, accepting the beef with shimmering eyes.

  “Then why do you study in Jizhou? Shanghai has far better educational resources. You weren’t really sent away from home, were you?”

  Feng Nanshu paused, her soft voice revealing, “Because Jizhou is my mother’s hometown.”

  “So, you won’t be returning to Jizhou this holiday?”

  “I want to go back as soon as possible, but I don’t know when I .”

  Jiang Qin didn’t press further, sensing her ck of enthusiasm for the visit. He fed her twice more, brightening her mood again.

  He g his chopsticks, then at a poster on the opposite wall. The slogan suggested that sharing chopsticks with others was unhygienid advocated for the use of serving chopsticks.

  Jiang Qin casually ed his chopsticks, thinking that this made them sanitary now.

  While they were eating, Gao Wenhui arrived at the cafeteria. After getting her meal, she sat down but, unlike before, was unusually quiet. She kept gng bad forth between Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, her eyes filled with curiosity.

  How does he restrain himself?

  Fan Shuling had beled Jiang Qin as a sdrel, but Gao Wenhui had her doubts. To her, he seemed more like a gentleman with a peculiar fondness for feet.

  “Gao Wenhui, you keep staring at me. Aren’t you afraid of getting rice up your nose?” Jiang Qin g her.

  Gao Wenhui’s smile faded, “I k, being the third wheel never ends well!”

  After breakfast, Jiang Qin took the little rich dy to the Entrepreneurship ter to get her certificate, but it ended disastrously.

  Cao Xingyue pointed out an error in the previous application, asking Feng Nanshu to correct it.

  “Junior, you ’t write that the startup funds are provided by Jiang Qin, and the purpose ’t be to bee Boss Jiang Qin’s wife.”

  Feng Nanshu’s eyeshes trembled slightly, the joy Jiang Qin had fed her earlier quickly dissipating.

  Meanwhile, Jiang Qin headed to Room 208 to call a meeting with everyone.

  The campus beauty test was at its halfway mark, and the excitement eaking. With the holiday and students leaving campus, the traffic was bound to dee.

  Their only task for these seven days was to maintairaffic. The tent team o keep supplying material, dispersing the test traffic to fession walls, anonymous forums, and other i areas to drive versions.

  After the holiday, when the test results were annouhey expected a small spike in traffic. However, the retention rate post-spike was uain. They o be prepared for both sarios: one, pnning another event if the traffitio dee, and two, pursuing business colborations and expanding into the rger uy town if retention rates were high.

  “Boss, we’re short on manpower here.”

  Wei Lann spoke up, as the number of merts to iate with was increasing, and the external market team, sisting of only her and Tan Qing, was overwhelmed.

  “We’ll recruit more people after the holiday. The uy is full of potential recruits, preferably those with electric bikes for longer distances.”

  Jiang Qin cluded the meeting and noticed Su Nai staring at him, “Boss, your membership has expired.”

  “When did it expire?”

  “Last night.”

  “Do you check it daily? You knew as soon as it expired?” Jiang Qin looked disgusted.

  Dong Wenhao curiously looked at Su Nai, “What membership expired?”

  “It’s nothing, just a video subscription for site building,” Su Nai adjusted her gsses.

  “You guys iech team are really hardw, huh? g by day and studying videos at night?”

  Su Nai and Jiang Qin chuckled insincerely, leaving Dong Wenhao fused, w if he said something wrong.

  After the meeting, Jiang Qi downstairs, pnning to find the little rich dy at the administrative office. He fouanding by a window, holding an A4-sized certificate, looking cold and dazed.

  “Got your certificate?”

  “Yeah, but it’s the wrong o’s not a boss dy certificate, it’s a self-employmeificate.”

  The boss’s wife certificate and the self-employmeificate were entirely different. Feng Nanshu’s unhappiness was evident, her cold demeanor carrying a certain pressure.

  “It’s not a mistake. sider it a probation period.”

  “?”

  Jiang Qin took the certificate, “Like making friends, you o reach a certain stage to bee good friends, just like us.”

  Feng Nanshu looked at him expressionlessly, thinking to herself that he must think she’s naive.
