Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

The next morning, under a clear sky with a faint sun, everyone set off from the hotel and met up with the campus guides they had hired, entering the two universities in a grand procession.

Since it was summer, countless high school tour groups from all over the country were visiting Tsinghua and Peking University, making the campus especially lively. Stalls selling snacks, drinks, mineral water, and various cultural and creative products lined the bridges like a market, creating a strong commercial atmosphere.

Perhaps every parent has asked their child at some point, “When you grow up, do you want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?” The children seriously contemplated this, unsure of which to choose.

Eventually, whether they got admitted or not, these words, passed down through generations, turned these universities into bustling tourist attractions.

“Are there always this many people during the summer holidays?”

“It seems we’ve come at the right time.”

Upon entering Tsinghua University, Jiang Qin stood at the entrance, waving his arms to signal everyone to split up and explore separately, in order to save time.

Wei Lanlan took Wen Jinrui to survey the vendors, understanding the local consumer trends, while Su Nai and Shi Miaomiao went to connect with campus clubs and distribute survey questionnaires. Jiang Qin, accompanied by Feng Nanshu, strolled through the campus.

Mid-July was the peak of summer, with temperatures reaching around 37°Celsius, making one sweat profusely after just a short walk. To thoroughly explore the university campus would take a whole day.

Jiang Qin, acting like a tourist with his partner, followed the direction of the visiting crowd.

Feng Nanshu, unfamiliar with the city and the campus, walked ahead with curiosity, her eyes bright and steps light.

Initially, Jiang Qin walked confidently at the front, but soon, he found himself being dragged along by the little rich lady.

Tsinghua and Peking University, likely the richest universities in the country, were so frugal that they didn’t even install outdoor air conditioners, which Jiang Qin thought was incredibly stingy.

Wiping his sweat, Jiang Qin pulled her aside when they reached another stall.

Before them was a basketball court, enclosed by a wire fence, where shirtless students played basketball, their abs flexing and sweat glistening in the sunlight.

“Don’t look, they’re no good, it’s painful to the eyes.”

Jiang Qin seriously covered the little rich lady’s eyes, then picked up a fan hat from a nearby stall.

This product, active in campuses since the millennium, was made entirely of plastic. The front of the hat had a hole for a motor similar to those in toy cars, with a fan blade attached.

The more advanced versions not only had a motorized fan but also a pair of sunglasses that could be pulled down or pushed up.

After some thought, Jiang Qin picked a pink hat, turned on the fan, and placed it on the little rich lady’s head.

As he used both hands to adjust the hat, she instinctively covered her own eyes.

Dressed in a black dress that highlighted her collarbones, she looked stunning from a distance. The cool and naive air about her, paired with the quirky pink hat, looked oddly charming. ＲᴀŊỐβƐȿ

“Good, now she looks less attractive.”

Jiang Qin grinned, noticing that the stares directed at the little rich lady had shifted elsewhere.

“Feeling cooler?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Qin took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner. “Boss, I’ve got a big order for you. I need thirteen more of these, brand new.”

The stall owner happily accepted the cigarette, tucking it behind his ear. “Don’t worry, brother, our stock is fresh and sells out daily.”

“Are you a campus vendor?”

“Yes, I have a shop in the university. Seeing that it’s summer vacation and students from all over the country are visiting, I set up a stall here.”

As Jiang Qin unwrapped the hats, he chatted with the stall owner for half an hour, extracting valuable information.

He learned about the most crowded places on campus, where students liked to hang out, and which school gates had the highest student traffic—details that would be hard for outsiders to know but were common knowledge to those on campus.

Thus, they continued their visit until noon, stopping and walking.

Per the previous night’s agreement, everyone from Room 208 met at a bun shop outside the university. Jiang Qin distributed hats while listening to their reports.

After a morning of investigation, they had visited many crowded spots, forming a vague idea for their promotional approach. However, lacking a computer, they could only jot down notes for now.

The survey questionnaires had been distributed and were scheduled for collection the next afternoon. Merchants who filled them out seriously and submitted them on time would receive a commission.

Additionally, Dong Wenhao infiltrated a QQ group of university merchants to stay updated on the latest business trends.

Overall, the morning’s work was undoubtedly successful and smooth.

They had identified many suitable spots for on-the-ground promotions and even scouted locations for the Sweet Joy shop.

“Great work, everyone. Let’s head to Sijiminfu for lunch. We’ll have thirty or fifty Peking ducks.”

“Let’s not rush to the ducks. Boss, why is my hat decorated with ‘Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf’? It’s so childish.” Lu Feiyu, holding his fan hat, looked disgusted.

Jiang Qin crumpled the plastic wrapper and threw it in the trash. “The vendor said they were out of plain ones, so we only have these.”

“I can’t be seen wearing such a cartoonish thing. Dong, let’s switch,” Lu Feiyu protested, holding his ‘Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf’ themed fan hat.

Dong Wenhao glanced at him, “Just make do with it. What more do you want? Can’t you see I’m wearing a pink one too?”

After lunch at the bun shop, everyone split up again to continue their market research and promotional analysis. Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu to Peking University to see the Weiming Lake and Boya Tower.

True to his thoughts, these two universities, being neighbors, had a similar commercial atmosphere. The entrance was bustling with various stalls, some even selling stones.

“Kids, I bought you a stone with your name engraved on it. You have to work hard to get into this university and find this stone,” a father in a floral shirt, tucking the hem into his suit pants, earnestly told his children.

Jiang Qin, a business enthusiast, was impressed to see even stones being sold for money and quickly pulled Feng Nanshu to inquire about the price.

“You want to buy a stone?” the vendor asked, surprised.

Jiang Qin nodded, “Yes, how much is it?”

“Are you high school students here for a visit?”

“We’re university students.”

The vendor eyed them curiously, “Then it’s a bit early for you to buy this, isn’t it? Even if you plan to have children soon, you’d have to wait eighteen years. Would you remember where the stone is buried after eighteen years?”

Jiang Qin was baffled.

Feng Nanshu confidently and coolly replied, “No problem, I’ll remember.”

“What will you remember?” Jiang Qin frowned at her.

Feng Nanshu squinted her eyes seriously, “Even after eighteen years, I’ll remember where the stone is.”

“Do you even know how to have children?”

The little rich lady’s gaze flickered with confusion, standing there dumbfounded.

Jiang Qin clicked his tongue, thinking it ridiculous to have a child just to buy a stone. He then led her away to another area.

Eventually, they found themselves on a busy street, not knowing exactly which door they had walked through.

“Working all day has really exhausted me,” Jiang Qin lamented, leaning on his waist and looking at the little rich lady beside him.

At dusk, everyone returned to the hotel and gathered in Jiang Qin’s suite, consolidating information and organizing the data they had gathered, including selected photographs. They compiled a detailed document, reflecting a comprehensive record of their work.

Jiang Qin scrolled through the document on his laptop, thoroughly reading it and highly praising the team’s efforts.

As a mature capitalist, he knew the importance of effectively motivating employees for efficient work. For instance, he had set a three-day stay in each city. Three days were enough to complete the work with spare time if worked diligently, but also sufficient for those who worked less actively.

In this scenario, employees had two choices: either work hard for all three days or work efficiently for one day and enjoy the next two. Thus, everyone maintained high enthusiasm, hoping to finish work quickly, which naturally improved efficiency.

This was the trick!

“Let’s go out for Peking duck!” Jiang Qin announced, leading the large group to Sijiminfu. They ordered two ducks for each table.

Peeling a lotus leaf bun, adding two slices of duck meat, spring onions, and sauce, the bite was heavenly. The meat was tender and juicy, with a reddish-brown skin that was fragrant and oily.

After a day of hard work, everyone at Room 208 was ravenous and devoured the meal with gusto.

“Indeed, dinner tastes exceptionally sweet after labor,” Jiang Qin commented, rolling a wrap and feeding it to Feng Nanshu, “Don’t eat just half.”

Feng Nanshu gently bit off a large portion, “I’m done eating.”

“You said no half-eating, right?”

“I ate two-thirds.”

Everyone at the table lifted their heads at this remark, noting that the boss lady indeed knew her math.

Jiang Qin fell silent for a moment, realizing he had no rebuttal, and finished the remaining third himself, solving his friend’s dilemma of not being able to finish her portion.
