"ah……"

Lin Ruru subconsciously clenched her phone tightly in her hand.

He scratched his head and explained, "When I was pushed over just now, my phone slipped out of my pocket and the screen cracked a little."

"It's okay, Jiang Nian. A slightly broken screen won't affect your viewing. Besides, my phone is very cheap, I only bought it for a little over a thousand yuan. Even if I replace the screen, it will only cost a hundred yuan at most."

"Go back to your seat first," Jiang Nian said to her.

When the two returned to their seats, Lin Ruru saw Jiang Nian take a cell phone out of his backpack and hand it to her.

"If you don't mind, I'll give you my phone to use. I have a spare one."

Lin Ruru instinctively wanted to refuse, but after taking a look, she opened her eyes wide with curiosity.

This was the first time she had ever seen a phone like Jiang Nian's.

Or rather, she had never seen this kind of phone on the market before.

At first glance, it looks like a regular full-screen phone. The screen is quite large, the pure black color is not eye-catching, and the body lines are smooth and simple.

But when Jiang Nian's slender white fingers snapped it open, Lin Ruru realized that it was actually an ultra-thin folding phone.

Once turned on, the left half of the screen can rotate 360° up and down, meaning you can turn the screen that was facing outwards to face inwards.

The right half is actually a mobile phone keyboard like a computer keyboard. When the phone is flipped over and placed on the table, it looks like a miniature computer!

What, what kind of high-level thing is this?

Lin Ruru was stunned.

Curious, Lin Ruru flipped through the screen but couldn't find any mobile phone brand logos.

"Jiang Nian, what brand is your phone? Why doesn't it have a logo?" Lin Ruru couldn't help but ask.

"This is the first time I've seen a phone like this. It's a foldable phone, and it's even thinner and lighter than a regular phone. It can rotate and has a keyboard..."

Jiang Nian tested this phone himself after it was successfully developed, so there was no logo engraved on it.

Qinglan Group is about to create a brand new mobile phone brand, Miss, and Jiang Nian is the sole manager of Miss.

Miss's products will be divided into affordable and high-end lines. The phone Jiang Nian is holding is Miss's first high-end model, priced at around 20,000 yuan.

"This phone hasn't been released yet; it's an internal trial unit I received, so it's not available on the market and doesn't have a logo."

Jiang Nian looked at Lin Ruru and said, "I overheard Wang Qing saying that you sold the Apple laptop you received yesterday."

"Ah, I'm sorry Jiang Nian, I..." Lin Ruru immediately looked embarrassed, her face flushed red with shame.

That Apple laptop was a gift from Jiang Nian's friend to the whole class.

Gifts given by others should not be sold under any circumstances.

But that brand new, unopened Apple laptop could fetch 23,000 yuan even as a secondhand item.

That's enough to buy my mom six months' worth of medicine, which, as living expenses, is enough for their family to live on for a year.

Lin Ruru was just a high school girl. Receiving such a high-end and beautiful computer for the first time, how could she not want to keep it? But for her family's sake, she had to secretly sell it…

Jiang Nian said, "I didn't mean to criticize you. I just wanted to tell you that this phone can replace the functions of a computer."

"When you don't need a computer, you can treat it as a mini computer, which is even more portable than a laptop."

Lin Ruru was surprised that Jiang Nian not only didn't blame her, but also cared about her in this way.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Why is Jiang Nian so nice? They've only been deskmates for a little over a day...

"No, even though it hasn't been released yet, I have a feeling this phone must be very expensive. I can't accept it," Lin Ruru shook her head.

"Just accept it when I tell you to." Jiang Nian shoved the phone into Lin Ruru's pocket, her tone brooking no refusal.

"I heard from Han Xu that there is a study room called Shanzhou next to the convenience store where he works part-time, and they are looking for a manager."

"The evening shift is from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. If you're looking for a part-time job after school, you can go and ask."

"Ah... Jiang Nian, thank you so much..."

Lin Ruru wiped away her tears.

She will remember Jiang Nian's kindness for the rest of her life!

Just then, Han Xu, with his hair disheveled and looking listless, entered the classroom.

Han Xu was late every day because after he ran away from home, he went to work at a convenience store to prove that he could endure hardship and support himself.

I get off work around midnight every day. After tidying up my apartment and playing a couple of games, it's already one or two in the morning.

So Han Xu was as sleepy as a dog every day.

He and Jiang Nian were both in bed, one unable to sleep and the other unable to wake up.

Han Xu missed the scene of Jiang Nian disciplining Jiang Ranran.

He moved a chair behind Jiang Nian and sat down, his head drooping, leaning pitifully on her shoulder.

"Sister Nian, I quit my job at the convenience store this morning. I'd rather take on jobs to support myself; manual labor really isn't for me."

When Jiang Nian returned to China three months ago, she stayed in Jiangcheng for a period of time.

That night, in the dark alley, she stumbled upon Han Xu fighting against five people all by himself.

Jiang Nian threw a beer can at Han Xu, helping him dodge a sneak attack from a thug with a baseball bat from behind.

After that, Han Xu became attached to her, following her around and calling her "Sister Nian" all the time. Later, he even learned hacking skills from her, showing great talent, and joined Xinglan. It was only later that she found out that Han Xu was actually the young master of the Han family.

Xinglan is a bounty hunter alliance, or rather, a platform for bounty hunters to accept orders. It posts numerous tasks daily, covering a wide variety of shady and illegal activities, categorized by difficulty from C to S.

Different levels of missions offer different bounties and corresponding points, and hunters accept missions voluntarily. The platform also ranks hunters across the entire alliance based on their points.

JN, who is at the very top of the leaderboard, climbed from being virtually unknown on the platform to a commanding first place on the points leaderboard in just three months, a position that is now far ahead of the second-place player.

Han Xu is now able to take on A-level hacking missions.

The bounty for Rank A missions is generally in the range of 100,000 to 500,000.

"It's good that you quit. It saves you from being sleep-deprived every day even though you can sleep well."

Heaven knows how much Jiang Nian envied Han Xu's sleep quality. He could fall asleep as soon as he was tired, and he was so soundly that even thunder couldn't wake him.

Jiang Nian remained calm, then looked over as if remembering something, "So you don't need to go to work anymore, do you have time after school?"

Han Xu perked up immediately, sitting up excitedly: "What, Sister Nian, you're finally willing to play games with me? Shall we play Sunset Survival tonight?"

“Of course not,” Jiang Nian’s eyes shifted slightly. “I’m going to buy some things tonight. If you’re free, come with me.”
