Chapter 32: Jiang…Come Here

The livestream on Huajing’s forum instantly trended at the top spot.

Students flocked to the stream via shared links.

[What does this title mean? Is Qin Jiang really pretending to be a rich young master? I saw him drive two top supercars to campus — doesn’t look fake to me.]

[Help! Am I the only one who thinks Qin Jiang has swordlike brows and starry eyes, a gentle and noble air, and makes a simple white shirt feel like the kind of guy everyone dreams of getting together with but can’t?
And his figure looks great~
Our campus beauty Bai Chuchu will regret it — the former simp has transformed into a rich young master! A wild boar will never get to eat fine grain!]

[Fine fine, Qin Jiang has a shortcut to getting rich that avoids decades of detours and he won’t share it — OH WOW, Qin Jiang found a way to skip decades of hard work to become super rich and he didn’t share it with us?! Maybe he’s been secretly shagging some old rich hag…I’m not jealous of that…]

[Am I such a lowlife? Why does even an ugly guy like Qin Jiang have a rich woman keeping him — when will such overwhelming wealth ever come to me?]

[Come on bro, have the mindset of an NPC.
We’re just netizens watching the protagonist show off… the internet is going crazy.]

[Look on the bright side: based on probability, you might not attain massive wealth, but you’d definitely suffer catastrophic misfortune.
Also, don’t be in a hurry to despair — don’t be fooled that because Qin Jiang is kept by a rich woman and has wealth, he hasn’t lost his troubles too…]

[Loosen up — even if we can’t get a scholarship, we’ll definitely be in line on the Huajing University rooftop (heart JPG).]

Comments online were endless.

…

“Young Master Qin, would you like some tea?”

Manager Luo brewed the tea himself and gingerly brought it to Qin Jiang’s hand, as if he wanted to feed it into his mouth personally.

“You’re a manager who looks down on people — you’d better damn well stay away from my Brother Jiang!”

“Any closer… and this distance gets a little ambiguous.”

Song Jie couldn’t stand the manager’s sudden change in attitude.

But the nastiest expression was on Li Ao’s face. He stared in disbelief as the manager’s attitude toward Qin Jiang made a hard 180 degree turn.

He stood up arrogantly and scolded the manager, “Manager, don’t you want your sales anymore?”

“I bought a $5 million pink diamond ring from your store — what has Qin Jiang done? Just because he casually dropped his name?”

“Besides, what if it turns out to be some other guy named Qin Jiang? Qin Jiang is such a common name!”

“I told you to kick him out — what are you waiting for?”

Li Ao sneered at Manager Luo’s flip. As far as he was concerned, there had to be a misunderstanding.

Qin Jiang was just a downtrodden kid — everyone in the business world knew it. The Qin family had even issued an ultimatum forbidding any other companies in finance from giving Qin Jiang internship opportunities.

Someone abandoned, despised, and rejected by their own family couldn’t possibly be the boss of Zongtian International Mall, right?

What right did Qin Jiang have?

What qualification did Qin Jiang have to own such a vast enterprise?

It all sounded absolutely ridiculous to Li Ao.

Just then, the jewelry store’s door was thrust open in a rush. A middle-aged man in a suit burst in, dripping with sweat.

At the same time, Manager Luo’s face immediately lit up with an obsequious smile. “Mr. Yuan, you’ve come in person?”

“Where is Mr. Qin?”

Yuan Guoliang didn’t even have time to wipe the sweat from his brow — Zongtian International Mall was one of the conciliatory gifts that his boss, Ms. Liang, had given to her new husband, Qin Jiang, but this new husband seemed uninterested in any of Ms. Liang’s presents.

So he had never come to welcome Qin Jiang in person before.

But as the manager of Zongtian Mall, he wouldn’t dare forget the name of his employer even if he turned to dust!

Ms. Liang had given instructions with regard to Qin Jiang previously.

Qin Jiang was, in fact, his direct boss!!

Inside the livestream chat.

[The manager’s calling him Mr. Qin too?]

[So pretty boys can become bosses too — my mind is blown. If you’re the kept pretty boy of one rich woman you can be “boss”, if you have several rich women keeping you, aren’t you practically chairman??]

[Young man, to be kept by several rich women you need skill — you must be sensible and also be well-endowed!]

“You’re looking for me?” Qin Jiang lifted his eyes. His face showed little expression.

“Mr. Qin, you finally came. Zongtian International is your private property — whatever you want, you can take at will!”

“It’s just that… are you encountering some trouble?”

Yuan Guoliang was no greenhorn.

He could tell at a glance that some idiotic blind bat had dared to make trouble for his employer.

He glanced at Li Ao, who was previously sprawled in the VIP leather sofa area and had now stood up.

The man’s posture straightened. Clearly his swagger was gone when he saw Yuan Guoliang, and he humbly greeted him in a low voice, “Yuan… Uncle Yuan?”

“You’re close with Qin Jiang? He’s just a poor student. You must have the wrong person, right?”

Yuan Guoliang glanced at him coldly and spoke in an icy tone, “Old Li is unlucky to have a son like you!”

“I heard you took a big sum from home to start a business and have had some small success?”

“Your company has been acquired.”

“Now, crawl over and kowtow to Mr. Qin and admit your mistake immediately!”

Yuan Guoliang’s voice was like a hammer striking Li Ao hard. The iciness in his voice sent chills down everyone’s spine.

Li Ao was genuinely terrified — Yuan Guoliang was the kind of heavyweight connection the Li family could only approach on tiptoes. Yet, such a big shot was so meek before Qin Jiang?

This was impossible!

What kind of big shot was Qin Jiang? At most he was a pretty boy kept by some old ugly rich woman.

He wasn’t convinced!

That poor student Qin Jiang, whom he had humiliated into hanging his head and following pathetically, did not deserve his kowtow and apology.

Besides, the livestream was still on… If he, Li Ao, actually kowtowed, wouldn’t all of Huajing University see how pathetic he was?

Li Ao’s temper flared instantly.

This boy was nothing but a pretty face. It was his face that had earned him all of this.

What if he ruined that face?

With that thought, Li Ao suddenly shoved past Yuan Guoliang and grabbed the sharp scissors a salesgirl had been using to cut ribbon for a gift box.

He lunged straight at Qin Jiang, who was sitting not far away.

His target was Qin Jiang’s face!

Li Ao was fast — he nearly reached Qin Jiang and was close enough to touch his clothes.

Suddenly, a sickle sliced through the air toward them.

The sharp sickle mercilessly severed the hand holding the scissors…

Li Ao’s assistant, in the corner, ducked at that moment and the camera swiveled toward the door.

The gory scene was perfectly avoided on camera.

In its place, a dozen tall men in suits bowed and parted to let a sharp, ink-black silhouette walk through.

They automatically made a path for her.

The woman wore an ink-colored qipao, revealing part of a long, fair neck and a delicately sensual collarbone. Her allure was unmistakable.

The qipao traced a graceful, sinuous figure. Black stockings wrapped around long, straight legs, a fierce yet beguiling charm.

At this moment, her cold gaze was murderous, her crimson lips pressed, and her pale skin seemed dusted with frost in the sunlight.

She was like a soul-stealing fox spirit, but brimming with murderous intent.

Everyone felt like their souls were frozen in an instant. Not even a breath dared to escape…

The camera moved past her for only two seconds, which was not enough to clearly see her face — and yet it was enough to leave the livestream viewers stunned into silence.

A demonic beauty, as if even a glance from her was a gift!

“Jiang… Come here.”

The livestream went wild.

[Oh my god! This top-tier icy beauty can’t be the rich woman CEO keeping Qin Jiang, can she??]

[What good fortune! This is absolutely blessed luck!!]

[That temperament, that aura — total tycoon female CEO vibe! If she wanted me to be her dog I’d be willing!!!!]

[Oh myyy gawdddd…what did I just see?
Qipao with black stockings, red lips against snow-white skin… Is the “be her dog” event still open? I’m queuing up now!]
