Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

After returning to the dormitory, Ren Ziqiang had already endured his beating and was now peacefully asleep. Judging from his facial expression, he didn’t suffer too much when he left.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao had already started packing his luggage, changed into a floral shirt, and was ready to return to his hometown in glory.

The exams had ended, and the summer vacation had officially begun. Although there was a class gathering for the finance class in the evening, Zhou Chao decided not to attend.

After all, it had been a year, and everyone who needed to get acquainted had done so, and those who were in relationships were already in them. There wouldn’t be any more wonderful stories to happen at class gatherings, so these events were now just symbolic.

“Brother Jiang, when are you leaving?”

“I’m not in a hurry, the day after tomorrow at the latest. And you, Old Cao?”

“I’ll pack my stuff first. Once Ding Xue calls me, I’ll leave. I have to take her home first.”

After saying this, Cao Guangyu couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Qin: “Old Jiang, you’re actually lucky to have a local girlfriend. You don’t have to run back and forth during holidays.”

The sudden relaxation after the exams made Jiang Qin let down his guard.

“Wow, you’re not just good friends, huh? I didn’t even mention her, and you thought of Feng Nanshu?”

“Heh, well said, don’t mention it again next time.”

Jiang Qin spat in his direction, changed his clothes, and left the dormitory. He then called Xu Yu to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on Changshui East Road to withdraw some money, planning to distribute bonus money to the people in Room 208.

The core team of 208 consisted of twenty-one people, including six in the technical team, six in the content team, seven in the marketing team, plus Lu Xuemei from the design team and Xu Yu, the accountant.

Each person would receive two thousand yuan, amounting to a total bonus of fifty thousand.

For Jiang Qin, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket and not worth counting. The most important thing was that the optimization of the forum and the adjustment of content were to take place during the summer vacation. This money was also meant to motivate them not to slack off during the holidays.

“School holidays are none of my business, Jiang Qin!”

Although you’re still students, you’re also mature workers now. You need to get used to life without summer and winter vacations!

The cash machine whirred, spitting out bright red banknotes, dazzling and shocking the men, women, and children withdrawing money nearby.

These days, fifty thousand yuan was not a small sum. A worker might not save that much in five years, let alone a young man like him. It was no wonder they were curious. ɽÄɴô𝐛Ès

“Ah, ever since I joined the group buying, I’ve been making more and more money every day. It’s worrying, how do I even spend all this?”

“Who would’ve thought that a person earning fifty thousand a month would be an undergraduate student? Damn, there’s no justice!”

“Thank you, group buying, thank you, prosperous group buying, we all prosper together, succeed in being the boss!”

Jiang Qin flaunted a stack of cash, speaking loudly enough for everyone in the hall to hear. Xu Yu, his senior, was beside him, shaking her head in disbelief.

Although the ground promotion of group buying in Linchuan had already ended, the boss still promoted it wherever he went. If he didn’t get rich, who would?

When a person’s everyday nonsense is filled with intense money-making schemes, who in this world could stop him?

“Let’s go, let’s check how much we made today.”

“Okay, boss.”

Leaving the bank, Jiang Qin dropped his flamboyant act and returned to his noble and aloof demeanor. Meanwhile, the people in the bank exchanged glances, quietly pulling out their phones to sneak a peek at the group buying website, as if a seed had been planted in their hearts.

By three in the afternoon, Jiang Qin returned to Room 208 with Xu Yu, carrying a thick stack of cash. He was greeted by the twenty-one staff members like a tsunami.

Such a welcome was usually only seen when Feng Nanshu came for inspections. Jiang Qin never thought he, a blatant capitalist, would one day experience this.

Damn it, they’re all a bunch of money monks, so damn real.

Of course, since everyone was in high spirits, Jiang Qin didn’t beat around the bush. He had Xu Yu count the money and distribute it, making everyone’s eyes sparkle with excitement.

“Boss, don’t forget about the summer trip you promised us!” Su Nai mentioned, not forgetting his promise while eating.

But Jiang Qin was pleased, thinking that employees eager to work were rare nowadays: “Everyone, discuss in the group where you want to go after returning home. If there’s no problem, Xu Yu will take care of booking the tickets.”

“Domestic or abroad?”

“Let’s stay domestic. The plugs overseas are different from ours. It’s inconvenient to use laptops without an adapter, which hinders work… our shared enjoyment.”

“?”

Wei Lanlan raised her hand: “Boss, Mr. Wang from Vienna, Mr. Zhang from Hongjin Restaurant and Entertainment, and a few other bosses want to have dinner with you.”

Jiang Qin pondered for a moment: “The foundation of group buying is quality cooperative merchants. We can’t afford to lose face. I’ll go to dinner with Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang. You, Tan Qing, and Wenhao, don’t leave yet. Represent me and have dinner with the other bosses.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange the time.”

Lu Feiyu spoke up: “Boss, I’m a local. I don’t need to leave!”

Jiang Qin glanced at him: “Feiyu is great. Then you’re responsible for cleaning the office, making sure to turn off the water and electricity, and clearing out the fridge.”

Lu Feiyu’s breath hitched: “Boss, do you dislike me?”

“Nonsense, you’re my favorite in this office. The most trusted people are usually left to do the final work. Why do you think I didn’t ask Su Nai? Because she’s unreliable!”

Su Nai clenched her fists: “Why am I unreliable? You used to praise me as a treasure among employees!”

Jiang Qin chuckled, “Because if I asked you to cut the power and water, you might end up chopping the wires and clogging the faucet.”

“How could that be? I’m not stupid. Cutting power and water just means flipping the switch and turning off the valve, right? I’m a programmer, but I’m not an idiot!” Su Nai was on the verge of a fiery outburst.

“And what else?”

“What else is there?”

Jiang Qin looked towards Lu Feiyu, “Feiyu, do you know what else needs to be done besides cutting power and water?”

“Buy a 2-liter bottle of Coke and drink it all!” Lu Feiyu replied with a confident smile.

Jiang Qin nodded in approval, “See, Feiyu knows much more than you.”

Su Nai couldn’t believe it, “How does drinking Coke count as part of the cleanup?”

Lu Feiyu crossed his arms, “After drinking the Coke, you wash the bottle, fill it with water, poke a small hole, and place it beside the money tree in the pot. It ensures the tree gets enough water during the summer vacation. The key to a company’s success is how well the money tree grows.”

“Well said, Feiyu’s attention to detail is astonishing.”

“It’s all thanks to the boss’s teachings.”

Jiang Qin couldn’t help but laugh and patted his shoulder.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He genuinely liked Lu Feiyu, even if his emotional intelligence wasn’t high.

For a boss, it’s crucial not to be surrounded only by flatterers. Otherwise, anyone would become overly arrogant. That’s why he needed a blunt minister like Lu Feiyu, who dares to speak the truth, as a reference.

The fact that he dared to directly ask if the boss disliked him was exactly the kind of blunt attitude Jiang Qin appreciated.

If one day, all you have around you are endless flatteries, that’s what a people’s entrepreneur should be most wary of.

While they were talking, a series of rapid footsteps of small leather shoes came from outside. Everyone immediately stood up straight, looking towards the door.

The next second, the aloof and wealthy Feng Nanshu arrived at Room 208, muttering “your cutie has suddenly appeared,” and then expressionlessly approached Jiang Qin.

Seeing her, Jiang Qin picked up the money bag and handed her two thousand yuan, “This is for you.”

Feng Nanshu looked down, “Why are you giving this to me?”

“For being the boss lady for a year. You’ve worked hard. This is the holiday bonus; everyone gets one.”

The little rich woman took the money, her eyes softening as she lifted her face, “Thank you, boss.”

As she spoke, Room 208 erupted in teasing, suggesting that they might as well get married on the spot instead of just being friends. The exchange of “hard-working boss lady” and “thank you, boss” was just too much for them to handle.

“Feiyu, if you had the boss’s moves, would you still be single?”

“If you had the boss lady’s manners, would you still be getting beaten up later?”

“?????”

Jiang Qin quickly stopped their teasing, “Alright, since it’s vacation time, you all should get lost now.”

“Boss and boss lady need space to be friends!” Su Nai, carrying her bag, ran out of the office.

Following her, the others began to hastily gather their things, shouting “Goodbye, boss and boss lady,” as they hurried out the door.

As it was near the end of the semester, many entrepreneurial departments in the Entrepreneurship Center were having meetings. Hearing the cheers, they couldn’t help but step out to see what was happening.

Whoosh—

Dong Wenhao walked too fast, accidentally scattering his banknotes all over the floor, eliciting envious sighs from the other university students working on entrepreneurial projects.

Despite being in the same building, Room 208 received two thousand yuan each in bonuses, while they barely made that much in a month. Truly a case of different fates.

Dong Wenhao blushed, regretting the accidental spill, and squatted down to pick up the banknotes one by one. As he did so, he noticed a pair of beautiful feet in high heels standing in front of him.

“?”

He looked up to see a woman in a black long dress standing before him.

She had wavy long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing two shiny gold hoop earrings and light, elegant makeup. Especially her eyebrows, meticulously groomed and sharp.

“Excuse me, is your boss here?”

“Uh… the boss is here, but our boss lady is also here. They’re together,” Dong Wenhao cleverly replied.

He didn’t know the woman’s identity but presumed she had some relationship with the boss. As a cunning minister, he felt it necessary to inform her that the boss lady was also in the office.

The woman paused, then thanked him and stepped towards Room 208.
