Chapter 708: Why don’t you thank Fairy Zixia?
"Isn't this good? Why are you sighing?"
"The gap between her and me is too big..." Cao Shuang rested his arms dejectedly on the back of Lu Yuanqiu's chair. Bai Qingxia looked back and found that there was a hint of confusion in Cao Shuang's eyes.
"Gap?" Lu Yuanqiu laughed. "What's the difference in school? You're still an undergraduate, after all. At worst, you can go on to graduate school to make your second degree look better."
Cao Shuang scratched his elbow and said to himself, "I want to study for a master's degree? Forget it. I'm not cut out for that. I haven't put any effort into studying in the past few years."
"The main thing is...a few days ago I happened to see Ruan Yueru's father driving a BMW 5 Series to pick her up."
The BMW 5 Series was not actually expensive in Lu Yuanqiu's eyes, but in 2013 it was no longer affordable for an average family. Lu Yuanqiu looked back and saw Cao Shuang giving him a dry laugh, then sitting back in his seat, as if he didn't want Lu Yuanqiu to see too much of the inferiority and helplessness in his smile.
Bai Qingxia roughly understood what Cao Shuang meant, and she turned around. It was rare for her to empathize with Cao Shuang on the same thing.
"Uh... she's a hidden talent, but turns out to be a wealthy woman. But before we went to Zhucheng, she acted like a country bumpkin, exclaiming at everything she saw." Lu Yuanqiu said through the gap in the chair.
Cao Shuang was a little embarrassed: "Maybe I was the first to act like a country bumpkin... and then she followed suit. Anyway, her family must be well-off. When she sent me a selfie at home, I could see her big flat in the background."
Every word in this discourse seemed to be tied to a feeling of inferiority.
Cao Shuang only had a mother who was ill all year round, and he had no house in Lucheng. His daily living expenses could only rely on some savings from his early years, but there was very little left.
If his mother wasn't good at handicrafts and had a disability certificate, Cao Shuang would have been able to earn some extra money himself, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to afford to go to university.
Therefore, when Cao Shuang did not study well in the past few years in college, he felt extremely guilty.
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly didn't know what to say.
As expected, the youth in high school is truly pure and without any material desires. The youth in college gradually moves closer to reality, just like Cao Shuang and Zhong Jincheng.
Only Lu Yuanqiu and Zheng Yifeng were enjoying their youth without any scruples. It could also be said that only Lu Yuanqiu himself was enjoying it without any scruples.
"Do you want to open a branch of Xia Yiwan Noodles in the University of Science and Technology?" Bai Qingxia suddenly said to Cao Shuang through the gap between the chairs.
Cao Shuang was stunned for a moment, then surprised: "Yes! I really want it!"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Why don't you thank your sister-in-law?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law! Thank you, sister-in-law!" Cao Shuang was extremely excited.
Bai Qingxia glared at Lu Yuanqiu, then added to Cao Shuang, "But we'll split the profits 50-50. I'll cover the initial funding needs. It's like if I want to open a branch at the Polytechnic Institute, you'll be the person in charge."
Lu Yuanqiu took the opportunity to rub his head against Bai Qingxia's arms and sighed, "My Xia Xia! Not only does she have a good business mind, she's also so considerate! She's also so pretty, gentle and thoughtful, um—"
Before he could finish his words, Bai Qingxia pushed his cheek aside, interrupting his spell.
Cao Shuang nodded: "Fifty-fifty? Twenty-eight is fine!"
He saw how popular Bai Qingxia's Xia Yiwan Noodles was at Zhuhai University, and he believed that the result would be the same if he came to the University of Science and Technology. A 28% split would definitely be a good income.
Cao Shuang didn't even dare to imagine how much Bai Qingxia had earned so far.
What a capable girl she is. She did not rely entirely on Brother Qiu, but reversed her fate with her own hands.
Bai Qingxia smiled and said, "Fifty-fifty."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Why don't you thank Fairy Zixia?"
"Thank you, Fairy Zixia!"
It was entirely up to Cao Shuang to decide on the channels through which to open a branch at the Polytechnic Institute. Bai Qingxia would give him as much money as was needed at the beginning. This made Lu Yuanqiu curious about how much money this little girl had accumulated in her small treasury now. She was so confident when she said the word "give money".
Big Ben Milk Tea Shop.
"Last month's turnover was 28,643." Zhong Jincheng said to Luo Wei after finishing the accounts.
“It’s a little worse than I expected.”
Luo Wei came over and encouraged him, "That's already impressive! This is many, many times higher than my internship salary."
She spread her arms wide and used an exaggerated gesture to describe it.
Zhong Jincheng still shook his head: "After all, we are not Bai Qingxia. We don't have any advantage in terms of taste. We can only rely on clever tricks. I just posted an announcement in the group saying that the comic series will start this month. I wonder if there will be a big change in sales."
The group he was talking about was a group created in the middle of last month, named "Big Ben Milk Tea Comics Update Urgency Group."
There are currently only 152 people in the group. Most of those who join are loyal fans of Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia and others. They are not there to drink milk tea. Some of the people who join the group have never even been to the store. They join the group just to have the opportunity to have close contact with these popular students on campus.
Zhong Jincheng is being urged by someone every day. They are not asking him to update the comics, but urging Zhong Jincheng to let Bai Qingxia join the group as soon as possible.
Zhong Jincheng originally wanted to invite Bai Qingxia in directly, but after Luo Wei reminded him, he felt that he should not pamper this group of people too much, so he said that since there were more than 200 people in the group, he would invite "Qiu" first.
If the number of people joining the group exceeds 250, they will be invited to join.
And so on.
Bai Qingxia, as the most popular candidate, will definitely be placed last. Zhong Jincheng has decided to invite "Xia" to join when the number of people in the group exceeds 1,000.
Judging from the current trend, Lu Yuanqiu will soon join the group.
Female dormitory 306.
Wei Zhiyu walked into the dormitory, glanced at the pile of underwear and panties drying on the balcony, and said to the other three, "How dare you hang your underwear and panties on the balcony?"
Chi Caocao: “What’s wrong?”
Wei Zhiyu: "Haven't you seen the forum? Recently, several people living on the second floor of the female dormitory have had their underwear stolen. Our balcony in Building H happens to be a blind spot for surveillance, so those perverts can easily hook it with a long pole."
Bai Qingxia was sitting at the table texting with Lu Yuanqiu. After hearing this, she looked towards the balcony.
Those light-colored panties with lace are hers.
Ah Zhen: "But...we are on the third floor."
"What's wrong with being on the third floor? It's not like we can't climb up. Bai Qingxia is so pretty, who knows if there's a pervert out there who'd think of all sorts of ways to steal her panties."
Bai Qingxia suddenly opened her eyes wider.
Ah Zhen suddenly became curious: "Will someone mistake my underwear for Bai Qingxia's?"
Wei Zhiyu: "...Azhen, what are you excited about?"
"I'm not excited, it's just that this seems to be my only chance to have intimate contact with a boy."
"Azhen, please don't do this. I'm so scared..."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Qingxia bit her lip with a complicated expression. Lu Yuanqiu's message on the phone was still ringing. Bai Qingxia stood up and prepared to take back her underwear.
Alas, the fever should have subsided, but I feel groggy and want to sleep, but a dry cough occurs as soon as I lie down. This month is pure Mercury retrograde, and I have to get up early tomorrow to handle the referral procedures for my dad. I really feel particularly reluctant to write on a day like this, so I guess I can only make up one chapter. I still can't post updates after midnight tonight, so don't wait, go to sleep first, and see if I can update in the afternoon after the referral procedures are completed tomorrow morning.
