Chapter 54: The Unremarkable Young Master Jiang
TL: Etude
Senior, what exactly does the publicity department do?
Do you have a girlfriend, Senior?
Senior, youre from the same hometown as me, right? Which neighborhood?
During the walk from the comprehensive building to the second cafeteria, the girls from the finance department surrounded Senior Xu, bombarding him with questions, giving him the star treatment.
At that moment, a black Bentley drove past them, slowly proceeding along College Second Road and eventually stopping at the main entrance of the cafeteria, drawing everyones attention.
This car, with its unfamiliar out-of-town license plate, technically shouldnt have been allowed in, but the gatekeeper didnt dare stop it, nor did the patrolling security guards dare to inquire, allowing it to enter unabashedly.
Wow, that black car looks so imposing. I didnt see the brand; what kind of car is it?
Just look at the hubcaps and youll know. Its Bentley, a top-tier luxury car brand from England, Xu Junli casually remarked.
Pan Xius eyes lit up when she heard luxury car: Senior, what kind of car does your family have? Is it also a top-tier luxury car?
Xu Junli couldnt help but touch his nose: A car like that would probably cost several million. Ordinary families cant afford it. Though my family could buy one, theres no need to spend all our money on a car. After all, its just a means of transportation.
Being able to afford it is already impressive. Not many families can afford a Bentley nowadays, Song Qingsong couldnt help but play along.
Theres nothing impressive about it. I usually keep a low profile at school and dont reveal much about my family. I dont want to put pressure on my friends.
Hearing this, Ren Ziqiang, Cao Guangyu, and Zhou Chao behind him were so infuriated they almost drew knives.
Youre calling yourself low-key?
Youve been bragging the whole way, and were sick of hearing it!
And your wrist, always showing off that watch, dont you ever put it down? Doesnt holding it up like that make your arm sore?
You flaunt and pretend to be humble, trying to act like a saint when youre anything but.
But, Xu Junlis skills are indeed superior to Cao Guangyus, and many girls genuinely fell for this act, eliciting several wows from the crowd, making Xu Junli quite pleased, his smile growing wider.
See, thats a real rich and handsome guy, much more elegant than those who pretend to be aloof when they have nothing, Song Qingsong couldnt resist another jab at Jiang Tian.
As soon as she finished speaking, the left rear door of the black Bentley suddenly opened.
Under everyones gaze, Jiang Qin emerged from the car, his left hand on the door frame and his right hand holding a promotional fan casually taken from a printing shop.
Feng Nanshu wanted to follow him, but he gently pushed her back into the car.
Its too hot at noon, let Uncle Gong drive you back to the dorm. Come out and play when its cooler in the evening.
Oh.
Feng Nanshu responded softly, casting a longing glance through the car window before the car drove away.
Meanwhile, the group preparing to cross the road froze, staring bewilderedly at the figure fanning himself.
Whats going on
Is that Jiang Qin from their class, brought in by a Bentley?
What a coincidence, are you guys here too?
Hearing Jiang Qins voice, Song Qingsong suddenly felt suffocated, the humiliation of being splashed in the face a few days ago resurfacing. She instinctively clung to Jiang Tians arm, seemingly seeking some sense of reality.
Jiang Qin walked over, first addressing Cao Guangyu: You just had surgery on Monday, and youre already out of bed today?
Cao Guangyu was almost tearful: Its fantastic, really damn fantastic.
Does it really feel good after a circumcision? Is it true? I thought the doctor said you needed to rest in bed for half a month.
No, no, I meant your arrival is just fantastic!
Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao strongly agreed, nodding fervently along with Cao Guangyu.
They had just endured a whole journey of pretense from Xu Junli, bottling up their frustration, only to turn around and see Jiang Qin arriving in a Bentley, overshadowing everything effortlessly. They were thrilled inside.
What did a 15,000-yuan Longines watch or owning three supermarkets and a hotel matter in front of a Bentley?
It was genuinely satisfying; they had never thought that witnessing their roommate show off could be so enjoyable.
Jiang Qins arrival was subtly elegant and impeccable.
Jiang Qin looked at his roommates teary-eyed expressions, somewhat baffled: What exactly are you finding so satisfying?
That Bentley is yours, isnt it? Why dont you tell everyone about your family? How many supermarkets and hotels do you own? Cao Guangyu deliberately raised his voice, glancing at Xu Junli nearby.
Jiang Qin was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on.
Damn, Caos old habit of showing off in front of others was kicking in again, hinting for him to play along.
He wasnt a bad person, just had this peculiar hobby. If Jiang didnt go along with it, Cao would be miserable all day.
Alright, no more pretending. Lets be clear: I am the unremarkable Young Master Jiang.
Cao Guangyu was delighted, thinking, This is the understanding between brothers!
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
Young Master Jiang, indeed, but adding unremarkable to it was too much!
Old Jiang, with your wealth, if you joined the student union, you should be the president. A ministerial position doesnt suit you, Cao Guangyu hinted, his words aimed at Xu Junli.
Jiang Qin missed the sarcasm and instead responded: So, you got out of bed just to attend the student union interview? Didnt you say you wouldnt go? How did it go?
Xu Junli suddenly spoke up: It went well, theres a high chance Ill pass.
Who are you? Are you in our class? Jiang Qin found the man before him unfamiliar.
Let me introduce myself. Im Xu Junli, a junior, your upperclassman. Im currently the head of the publicity department in the student union.
Xu Junli introduced himself politely and with ease. After all, someone who arrives in a Bentley is worth befriending. Connections like these are invaluable, even after graduating.
Jiang Qin suddenly realized: Oh, so youre that Senior Xu. You seem quite nice.
No, no, just offering some help. After all, new students like you might not be familiar with the school. Its my duty as a student leader.
Jiang Qin nodded in understanding, then turned to Cao Guangyu, Ren Ziqiang, and Zhou Chao: Are you guys heading to the cafeteria or back to the dorm?
Lets eat. Ive been starving after the mornings interview.
Jiang Qin nodded at his roommates response: Okay, then you guys eat slowly. Im leaving now. Senior Xu, well meet again when we have time.
Xu Junli nodded gracefully: No problem. If you encounter any issues in the department, just come to me. I can solve them all for you!
Jiang Qin, have you eaten yet? Song Qingsong, seeing him about to leave, couldnt help but speak up, Why dont you join us for lunch? My treat!
Forget it. The food in the cafeteria is too cheap. Eating it might spoil my mood for riding in the Bentley.
Oh, okay then
Song Qingsong looked at the fan in his hand, reading Professional Mens Health, Restoring Your Happiness, yet she found him so imposing and hard to face.
Qingsong, so this is your comparison? Its indeed effective. Now I finally understand what an ordinary family is, Jiang Tian couldnt help but return her earlier sarcasm.
Song Qingsongs face turned pale: But he listed himself as from an ordinary family, I saw it clearly.
Forget it, I wont believe you anymore.
Song Qingsong sighed, glancing at her senior, who suddenly lowered his wrist that had been raised all this time, hiding the 15,000-yuan Longines watch in his pocket.
Indeed, the real wealthy are those who dont leave a trace.
