Chapter 469: Qingqing Reacts to Driving (Part 2)
Jiang Nian swallowed his anger and waited!
After leaving the school gate.
Li Qingrong took out a small box from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Nian.
"For you."
"What is it?"
"Apple."
"Huh?" Jiang Nian looked down, bewildered, "The apple you're talking about, why is it this kind of apple?"
"Don't like it?" Li Qingrong glanced at him.
"Not really, I just don't usually wear watches." Jiang Nian gave her a look, glanced around, and lifted her hand.
He rolled up her sleeve, revealing her snow-white delicate wrist.
"It looks better on you."
Li Qingrong lowered her gaze, withdrew her hand, and declined.
"It's for you."
"But I don't wear it often, it's a shame to leave it at home." Jiang Nian said, "You wear it for me. When I want to wear it, I'll take it off your wrist."
"It's 'take'." Li Qingrong corrected his word choice.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian laughed.
This was the first time Li Qingrong reacted to his playful words, which made him want to flirt more and more openly.
"Alright, 'take'."
.....
"Hey, apple! Fellow student!"
"Friend, apple! Buy one for Christmas Eve! Haven't you got a crush on a girl? Buy one to confess to her."
"Oh, you prefer guys. Then surely your boyfriend enjoys apples too."
Lin Dong guarded the stall; he was brazen enough to sell apples on the road. Many students bought them, and he had already recouped the cost.
Underneath the teaching building, there's always the risk of being caught.
He didn't care, even setting up stalls in other places. At small gates and along the dormitory paths, stalls were arranged.
He assigned people to manage them, gradually selling quite a few.
To speak of difficulty, there wasn't much.
The strategy was to act quickly and daringly. If sold out before being caught, it's profit.
"How much for the apple?"
"Five....." Lin Dong was about to respond but saw it was Jiang Nian, instantly discouraged, "Hey, scram, I'm not selling to you."
"Five bucks? Are these apples made of gold?"
"Comes with a gift box, only available here." Lin Dong shook his hands, "Why don't you ask how's the sales, made a profit?"
Jiang Nian, bewildered, had no choice but to follow his lead.
"Made a profit?"
"Not yet, looks like there's going to be a loss." Lin Dong said gloomily, "I ordered a lot this time, if they don't sell, it's bad."
Jiang Nian glanced at him, thinking that Lin Dong had quite the business acumen. The apple empire had yet begun, and he was already acting like a sly merchant.
"You little rascal..."
Soon, Lin Dong noticed that because Jiang Nian was standing there, many girls who passed by would take a look. His eyes lit up.
"Bro, help me out here, will you?"
"How?"
"Just stand here, and sell together." Lin Dong wanted to make more money to package himself into an internet heartthrob.
Give out red envelopes during New Year, much better than working like a dog.
Jiang Nian observed that Lin Dong's stall was at the intersection of two busy paths, truly seeking fortune amid risk.
He didn't hesitate, and started calling out to groups of girls passing by.
"Buy an apple and get a gift box, only five bucks!"
This is how school is, where girls gather. It attracts boys, more boys, more people gather.
"Hey, junior schoolmate, interested in checking out the apples?"
"I'm..... in senior year." The girl covered her mouth with her sleeve, standing shyly with her friends, "I'm not a junior."
"Oh, your face looks younger." Jiang Nian smiled, "Sorry, it's too dark. I thought you were a freshman."
"No problem, are these apples five bucks?"
"Yes."
Lin Dong watched on in astonishment, and one phrase popped into his mind.
Pretty boy economics.
Inwardly amazed, he cursed at the same time. How come this guy can charm wherever he goes, he's become... a stepfather.
"Hey, student, you forgot your apple." Jiang Nian, realistically sly, before payment she's a junior, after payment she's just a student.
"I didn't forget!" The girl turned back, shyly said, "I don't have someone I like, just giving it to you!"
At the stall.
Lin Dong saw Jiang Nian sneakily tear open the packaging with one hand, letting the apple roll back into the basket, his eyelid twitched instinctively.
This guy was quite merciless, a crafty guy.
More and more people were approaching the stall, Lin Dong couldn't spare any thought to Jiang Nian while being extremely busy; Hu Nianzhong came excitedly.
Bringing good news: the dormitory path had sold out. Only a few defective ones remained unsold; they had to be brought back.
Lin Dong was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't held many expectations for that path.
"If it's sold out here, that would be great."
Jiang Nian was wrapping apples when a familiar voice popped up.
"You're selling apples?"
He looked up; it was Ji Jiayu.
"It's you, buying apples?" Jiang Nian casually explained, "Not exactly, this stall belongs to Lin Dong."
"I've already bought some." Ji Jiayu shook her head but didn't leave, "Can I sell with you?"
"I'm not the boss, ask Lin Dong." Jiang Nian had no plans to stay long, ready to leave once things were sorted.
Ji Jiayu went to ask Lin Dong, naturally receiving a warm welcome.
He was eager for Ji Jiayu to be there, so when Ji Ming arrived, it would be easier to handle. Under pressure, he'd rather kneel to Ji Ming if necessary.
Knees of a man had gold underneath, but it wasn't the time to cash in yet.
Didn't see Ji Ming yet, but did see quite a few girls. One was even more outrageous, directly rushing towards Jiang Nian.
A whole scene of pulling and tugging, no idea what was going on.
"Jiang Nian! Why are you avoiding me?"
"Secluding myself; can art students understand?" Jiang Nian intentionally teased, "I'm a scholar; this is called seclusion for intense study."
"Still means avoiding." Han Xiao said angrily, but didn't dare really to bother Jiang Nian, as crafty men were quite ruthless.
