Chapter 99: Inside and Outside the School Gate
Song Qingning leaned against the car window and looked out, muttering, "I have to check out this milk tea shop, and that hot pot restaurant looks pretty good."
Her mind is now filled with anticipation for her time after university.
Su Qianqian leaned back in the back seat, her gaze passing through the gap between the front seats and onto the back of Lin Bei's head in the passenger seat.
The taxi moved forward at varying speeds in the traffic.
Each of the three people was thinking completely different things.
As Lin Bei looked out the window at the office buildings and shops flashing by, he began to consider the commercial environment around the school.
Which school gate has the highest student traffic?
How many shops are there on the street near the school gate?
Which business types haven't been covered yet? If he comes to the company in the future and opens a shop here, how many orders from local businesses can he get?
He has over 25 million yuan sitting in his bank account, but he doesn't plan to use too much of it for venture capital during his university years.
He plans to use the money earned from his studio to support the studio, and then use the money earned from his online store to expand the online store.
Then, before the end of freshman year, save up your first real "bottom-fishing funds".
The financial crisis had already begun in 08. When the stock market bottomed out and the real estate market froze in early 09, he planned to invest all the cash he had in it.
But before that.
He needs to establish himself in this city, he needs connections, and he needs a platform that allows him to legitimately earn his first pot of gold.
Song Qingning leaned against the car window, a smile that she couldn't suppress playing on her lips.
She had already planned out her university life in her mind.
After the start of the semester, she will join the external relations department of the student union.
This way, I can frequently visit Lin Bei's studio, and I always have a ready-made reason.
Discuss sponsorship, cooperation, and events.
Moreover, she needs to keep a close eye on things and not let other girls take advantage of the situation.
Especially Wu Xiaoxun.
Although she studies in a neighboring city, who knows if she might suddenly come over on the weekend?
Lin Bei has changed his hairstyle and his demeanor. Now, when he stands in a crowd, he's a campus heartthrob.
There are many beautiful girls in the university, and the girls who take the same class as him could all be potential threats.
In her entire life, Song Qingning wouldn't dare say she's number one in any other skill.
But his judgment of people is absolutely accurate.
Therefore, she had to secure a spot next to Lin Bei before anyone else.
Su Qianqian sat in the back row on the right, holding her phone with a QQ chat interface on the screen.
The profile picture of Beifengxiaoxiao is lit up.
She didn't type anything; she just stared blankly at the little blue icon.
It's September.
My husband had said before that they could meet after school starts in September.
It's already September.
In her mind, Su Qianqian pieced together all the fragments of information her husband had mentioned to her.
He's a university student in City S, majoring in business administration. He's a financial genius, and when he speaks, he occasionally utters a few words in a remarkably mature tone.
For a fleeting moment, Su Qianqian had the idea of matching these fragments with a certain person.
But the thought only flashed through her mind before she suppressed it.
impossible.
What a coincidence!
But no matter what the other person looks like, she will like them.
Even if you look ordinary, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, Su Qianqian has always liked this person.
Not a particular face.
……
A few minutes later.
The taxi turned onto a tree-lined road, and the school gate could already be seen in the distance.
Song Qingning suddenly sat up straight, reached out and patted the back of Lin Bei's chair, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"We're here! We're here!"
"I see the school gate!"
Lin Bei had the taxi stop briefly at the school gate.
Su Qianqian got off the bus carrying her canvas bag and stood under the roadside trees at the school gate.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves of the plane trees, casting dappled patterns of light on her skirt.
Lin Bei leaned out of the passenger window and asked her if she really didn't need to come and drop her off later.
Su Qianqian shook her head: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
"Anyway, the luggage has already been delivered; it's just one bag, so it's not heavy."
Lin Bei glanced at her, said nothing more, nodded, and told the driver to keep going.
Su Qianqian stood there, watching the mint green taxi turn into the gate of another school not far ahead.
Lin Bei and Song Qingning got out of the car.
He bent down and pulled the huge briefcase out of the trunk.
Song Qingning stood on tiptoe, peering into the school gate.
As the two walked side by side into the school gate, Song Qingning reached for the handle of the briefcase.
Lin Bei slapped her hand away and dragged the suitcase ahead of him.
Song Qingning took two steps behind, her ponytail swung in an arc through the air.
Soon, their figures disappeared inside the school gate, behind the row of ginkgo trees.
Su Qianqian withdrew her gaze, picked up her canvas bag again, and turned to walk towards the gate of her school.
The car door closed gently behind her, and the taxi merged into traffic and drove away.
Su Qianqian's phone lay quietly in her bag. The last message on the QQ chat screen was from Beifeng Xiaoxiao:
Honey, have you arrived at school yet?
Su Qianqian planned to call her husband back after she was settled in.
Today is September 1st.
The gates of all universities in S City are equally bustling.
As soon as Su Qianqian stepped into the school gate, a group of senior students standing at the freshman reception area stopped what they were doing.
Today she was wearing a light blue dress, her hair naturally draped over her shoulders, carrying a simple canvas bag, and walking alone through the bustling crowd toward the reporting area.
A female senior helping with luggage nudged a male senior drinking water, almost spilling his cup.
The senior student put the cup on the table, straightened his collar, and strode over to greet him.
"Junior, which college are you from?"
"Let me help you with your things."
He reached out to take the bag from Su Qianqian's hand, but Su Qianqian slightly turned her body to avoid it, maintaining a polite smile.
"Thank you, but no need."
The rejected senior was pulled aside and mocked by his friends. He retorted defiantly, "What are you laughing at?"
"Anyway, at least the junior smiled at me."
A group of people were gathered around the long table at the reporting area. When Su Qianqian walked over, the crowd automatically made way for her.
She carefully filled out the form, signed it, and then collected her dormitory key.
His movements were neither fast nor slow, and he maintained a polite but distant smile throughout.
A few senior students were standing nearby, pretending to organize materials.
In fact, their eyes were constantly drifting towards Su Qianqian.
After all, she's so pleasing to the eye that even simple clothing can't hide her natural charm.
Without a doubt, she is definitely one of the most beautiful freshmen on campus this year.
Su Qianqian was assigned to a four-person dormitory on the fourth floor, with a label indicating the room number on the key.
She took the key and walked towards the girls' dormitory.
