"Young Master, should we sow discord between that girl?"
Ma Shaotang asked with interest, and Lin Chen came back to his senses: "You have a way?"
"Women? It's simple. Beautiful clothes, perfume, jewelry, watches, and show her what a real quality of life is like. How many women can resist these temptations?"
Lin Chen remained silent. Although he had only seen her from afar twice, for some reason, he felt that the girl was not such a superficial woman.
In any case, the girl is already taken, so he should put aside his feelings.
Lin Chen was unwilling, but reason told him that this was wrong and he should stay away.
Suppressing his resentment, he said to Ma Shaotang, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
Ma Shaotang responded, stepped on the gas, and the car slowly started moving, merging into the traffic.
Seeing Lin Chen at the library, Chen Jing was worried. For the next two days, he picked her up and dropped her off every day, accompanying her to study at the library.
But after staking out for two days, they still didn't see Lin Chen and the other two.
Chen Jing then realized that he might be overreacting and relaxed.
He couldn't be too worried, as he still had several hundred more goods to wholesale. So, after dropping Ji Xia off at the library early in the morning, he went to the courtyard house to wait for a group of his underlings to come and pick up the goods, while also keeping up with Master Lin's progress on the courtyard house.
Master Lin and his apprentice slowly made repairs. The backyard was almost done, and the two chatted for a long time about improvements to the front yard.
Chen Jing and Ji Xia are leaving the capital. If they are successfully admitted, they will probably not return to the capital until August.
Therefore, he delivered the materials early, agreed on the date and requirements for acceptance, and then paid the final payment.
After discussing the courtyard house, several of his underlings arrived with money.
April in Beijing was still a bit cool, but the new spring/summer clothes were selling well, and a few of my underlings bought out all the remaining 500-plus pieces.
Liu Xing arrived earliest. Last time, he didn't have enough capital and only bought a little over a thousand yuan worth. After selling for two days, he borrowed another thousand yuan to try and buy more.
Chen Jing let him choose eight styles, totaling 130 sets, and took out an abacus, typing rapidly as he calculated the payment.
Watching his skillful technique, Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Chen, your technique is even faster than the accountant's! When will you have the next batch?"
Chen Jing waved his hand: "Next time? After I finish approving this batch of goods today, I need to prepare to buy tickets. I'll be leaving in a few days and won't be back until at least August."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xing became anxious: "Brother Jing, why did you stop? The wholesale business was doing quite well!"
Just then, Wang Yuan, Zhao Hui, and the others arrived, asking suspiciously, "What do you mean by 'not doing it anymore'?"
Chen Xing smiled wryly and turned around to explain, "Brother Jing is going back. He said he'll be back in August. This stuff will be gone after he finishes approving it today."
Upon hearing this, the henchmen panicked and tried to persuade him to stay: "Brother Jing, is it because we brothers didn't do a good job that you're angry?"
"Brother Jing, if there's anything wrong, just say it. Why did you quit the women's clothing business when it was doing so well?"
Before the others could offer further advice, Chen Jing made a gesture: "Don't even think about it. My girlfriend is taking the college entrance exam in July. She passed her professional exam, but she still needs to go back to school to review for the exam. Going back is a must."
Everyone looked disappointed. Suddenly, Zhao Hui tugged at Wang Yuan and pointed to the remaining goods.
"Brother Jing, how much stock do you have left today? I'll buy it all."
"No, Brother Wang, we need to get some more stock too."
Seeing that the group was about to start arguing, Chen Jing shouted, "Stop arguing! We've already prepared a hundred sets for each of you. If you don't have enough money, you can give them to someone else."
Although the group was unwilling, they had nothing to say.
Chen Jing added, "If you want the goods, I'll give you an address. You can go to the factory together to buy them. If you trust me, you can also send me money or a telegram, and I'll ship the goods to you."
Upon hearing this, the henchmen were overjoyed and quickly found paper and pens to write it down.
...
Ji Xia sat alone in the library's reading area, diligently working through two practice tests in a row, and then slowly checking the answers.
She checked two of the major problems and found that they were wrong. Her original approach was incorrect, but she didn't know where she went wrong.
That's the downside of learning entirely on your own without a teacher. When you have questions, there's no one to ask.
Ji Xia planned to ask the administrator, who was probably a professor with exceptional knowledge.
Ji Xia spent more than ten days at the library and got to know the librarian quite well; she was a middle-aged woman who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
As she looked up from the exam paper, she caught a faint scent of men's cologne.
She raised her starry eyes suspiciously, just as a stylishly dressed young man opposite her looked up from his book and smiled at her.
Ji Xia smiled faintly, grabbed the two exam papers and notebook, got up and walked towards the registration desk, feeling suspicious.
She only glanced at the other person casually, but she immediately noticed their neatly trimmed nails, long and well-defined fingers, and the exquisite wristwatch that was partially exposed on their wrist.
A well-tailored, custom-made Zhongshan suit paired with an exquisite watch—even if Ji Xia didn't understand brands and fashion, she knew this outfit was expensive.
The young man was quite handsome, with a pretty boy vibe, especially in his Zhongshan suit, which was buttoned all the way up to his neck, giving him an air of asceticism.
This seemingly old-fashioned Zhongshan suit can actually look quite good on the right person.
I wonder how Chen Jing would look in it? Perhaps she could give it a try?
After a few random thoughts swirled in her mind, she suppressed them and smiled as she asked the administrator for help with two difficult questions.
The administrator glanced at the question and casually wrote down two book titles: "Go find them yourself. There are detailed explanations of this knowledge point in the books."
After a pause, she added, "This question is a bit beyond the syllabus; the college entrance exam shouldn't have such a difficult question."
"Really? I'll go look for it. I can't figure it out, but I keep thinking about it. It's never a bad thing to learn more."
Ji Xia smiled and thanked the administrator, then followed her directions to find a physics book and a math book on the bookshelf.
Back in her seat, she couldn't help but glance at the young man opposite her again.
Suddenly, she saw the young man straighten his body, chest out and stomach in, and look up at her with a slight smile.
Ji Xia paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and lowered her head, secretly amused.
She spread out the test paper and, according to the major questions, opened the table of contents to: Impulse and Momentum, Momentum Theorem.
Lin Chen straightened his back, only to see the other person lower their head and study diligently again, which made him feel somewhat frustrated.
Reason advised him to stay away, but Ji Xia's casual glances just now rekindled his thoughts.
With such diligence and eagerness to learn, it's only natural that he got into university.
Is such an outstanding girl really going to have her life ruined just because of the words "childhood sweetheart"?
He coughed a few times, but saw that Ji Xia was engrossed in her studies and didn't react at all.
Cough cough cough, Lin Chen raised his voice again deliberately: "Miss? Miss?"
Ji Xia looked up from her book blankly, glanced around, and then looked at me suspiciously: "Are you calling me? Is something wrong?"
