Rebirth: Striving for a Better Life

At 32 years old, Chi Chan, single since birth, lived a struggling life, exhausted every day just to survive.

At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...

Chapter 56 Discovering New Ideas

As for the students in Class 7? ??

I won't say much about the original Class 7 members; they were all dimwits.

Every single one of the newly assigned students seemed a bit dim-witted to Chi Chan.

Chi Chan also discovered that every student in Class 7 was a social elite.

Shu Jia is a social butterfly. On the first day she met Chi Chan and Lin Da, she acted as if they were old friends.

In a newly assigned class, according to the normal procedure, we should only be at the self-introduction stage by now.

Class 7, on the other hand, skipped this step and directly formed a circle of friends.

The key point is—these friends all have very strange quirks!

The whole class lined up in an orderly fashion, each taking their turn to experience what it was like to be Ji Siyuan's deskmate.

Is this something a normal student would do?

In short, after entering Class 7, Chi Chan constantly refreshed her worldview.

"Alright, quiet down, let's get down to business!"

Old Qiu gestured for him to shut up.

Students of Class 7, shut up right now.

Old Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

Then he continued, "You should play and have fun as usual. The most important thing is to be happy. However, you still need to obey the school's rules and regulations, as well as the occasional requests I make to you. Apart from remembering these two points, I have no other requirements for you!"

Chi Chan answered yes along with everyone else.

The new homeroom teacher, Lao Qiu, is a person with principles and a bottom line.

But judging from his indulgence of his classmates, his bottom line is quite low.

Chi Chan also enjoyed her studies and life in the new class quite a bit.

The new class has a precious baby named Ji Siyuan—

Oh—no—

The school heartthrob is here.

Chi Chan really got to eat her fill of gossip.

Every day, all sorts of beautiful and energetic young girls come to Class 7 to deliver things to Ji Siyuan.

Gifts include, but are not limited to, love letters, scarves, movie tickets...

The most bizarre thing is that some brave soul actually gave Ji Siyuan a pair of Peppa Pig underwear—

When Chi Chan saw Ji Siyuan ruthlessly throw the pink underwear with Peppa Pig printed on it into the trash can while pinching his fingers, her fists clenched.

That damn man, he'd even throw Peppa Pig away.

If he really doesn't want it, he can give it to her!

She wants it!

Chi Chan felt that she had come to know Ji Siyuan in a new light.

Ji Siyuan is clearly aloof; he's a cool guy.

Why did I feel that he was gentle and considerate in my past life and in my previous life?

Damn, the filter is way too thick!

Looking back, Chi Chan felt she had missed out on too much juicy gossip.

In her past life, she was also assigned to the same class as Ji Siyuan when they were divided into different majors.

Why didn't I get to eat these melons?

oh--!

Maybe, perhaps, maybe I was enjoying it at the time, and my mind was completely clouded!

After throwing away the things that didn't belong to him from the desk drawer, Ji Siyuan took out a book to read.

Chi Chan looked closely.

The cover had an English title, which I glanced at briefly.

Chi Chan: Not translated.

O(╯□╰)o

really!

A genius is indeed a genius!

I only read the original English versions of books.

Unlike her, she couldn't even get into the translated version.

Since starting their video channel, Chi Chan, Lin Da, and Zhuo Zhiyuan have become increasingly efficient at learning, especially in utilizing fragmented time for study.

There's no way around it; recording videos takes a lot of time, the course schedule is strictly regulated, and there are so many knowledge points to cover.

Then I have to make up for my studies by taking breaks during other spare moments.

This high efficiency was forced upon them.

Chi Chan's seat was near the back door of the classroom. Immersed in her studies, she didn't notice that most of the girls in the class were frequently glancing at her table.

To be precise, it was a gaze directed at Ji Siyuan.

Why has Chi Chan been paying so much attention to Ji Siyuan lately?

Besides being a bystander, Chi Chan also discovered a business opportunity.

Last time I went out to get lunch, I overheard a female classmate asking Zhang Qiaoyue if she had any Qianle gel pens.

Senraku is a high-end pen brand from Japan. It writes very well and the ink is silky smooth.

But it has a fatal flaw: it's too expensive.

Since collaborating with Xiguang, 90% of Chichan's stationery is now from Xiguang.

As a district agent, she gets her goods at a lower price than at the wholesale market, resulting in higher profits. Naturally, she chooses Xiguang as her first choice when purchasing goods.

Zhang Qiaoyue didn't care about any of that; she was only responsible for selling, while Chi Chan was responsible for selecting and sourcing the products.

Zhang Qiaoyue knew which brands the goods in her possession were from, but as for Qianle, she said she had never heard of it.

Disappointed, the girl pulled her classmate away.

After taking her lunchbox, Chi Chan walked behind them and overheard the girl saying to her classmate, "My junior high classmate from Class 7 told me that Ji Siyuan uses this brand of pen!"

"Really? If it's true, I'll buy one and try it!"

"Of course it's true..."

Chi Chan, who was behind them, didn't pay attention and had already passed the two of them and walked ahead.

Sometimes, discovering a business opportunity really happens in just a moment.

So, the next time she went to buy supplies, Chi Chan gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money to buy a batch of Qianle pens, as well as pen holders, pencils, erasers, etc. used by Ji Siyuan. Chi Chan even paid special attention to the tutoring books and novels that Ji Siyuan usually used.

When purchasing goods, focus on these items.

As expected, this big investment brought in substantial returns.

With the added boost from Ji Siyuan's purchase of the same stationery, Zhang Qiaoyue's stationery stall became quite popular.

When the store officially opens next week, Chi Chan plans to create a special series for academic geniuses and place it in a prominent position in the stationery store.

There will definitely be no shortage of buyers when the time comes.

Yes, after several months of preparation, Chi Chan's bookstore is finally ready to open a week after the start of the school term.

The bookstore chose to open a week after the start of the school year because Chi Chan had considered that students might not have thought about things like subject division and supplementary books so quickly.

Since both Qiao Mama Restaurant and Mimi Ice Cream Tea Shop are food establishments, the more people there are when they open, the more lively the business becomes.

Both stores opened with great fanfare on the very first day of school.

One of them was "Qiao Mama" restaurant, opened by Zhang Qiaoyue, who had been running a stall for a long time and was already familiar with the students. The students recognized each other immediately, and on the first day of school, they all dragged their parents in for a meal.

The restaurant is neatly and brightly decorated, with the kitchen separated from the main dining area by glass, making the cooking process clear and efficient.

The parents were relieved to see that the restaurants near the school were quite good – cheap, delicious, and hygienic. They could give their children more pocket money so they could eat out and have a better meal.

As for the milk tea shop next door...

Chi Minghe was also extremely busy.

The couple is so busy, how could they possibly have time to take care of the bookstore?

Even the task of hiring staff for the bookstore was entrusted to Chi Chan.

We need to recruit people, conduct basic onboarding training, and set up the bookstore.

Oh, and there are also video lesson recordings.

Chi Chan thought that opening in just one week under these circumstances was already quite remarkable, right?
