While it's true that a thousand people see a thousand Hamlets, there are always those who think their perspective is the most accurate.

Could Song Qingqing really be prettier than Jiang Tian?

Bah! Cao Guangyu's mouth stretched wider than a cotton-padded trouser waist. The more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, so he turned to ask Jiang Qin for his opinion, feeling that getting Jiang Qin's affirmation would be the real achievement.

But Jiang Qin didn't even look, so he naturally had no say, and perfunctorily agreed with Cao Guangyu's statement.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right."

Cao Guangyu instantly became smug: "See? Even Old Jiang says Jiang Tian is number one. Are your eyes just for breathing?"

"Old Jiang, what's wrong with your eyes? It's clearly Song Qingqing who's the prettiest." Ren Ziqiang looked disgusted.

Zhou Chao couldn't help but mutter, "Old Jiang, do you not like girls? Why do I feel like you have no interest at all?"

Jiang Qin stretched lazily and leaned back in his chair: "Women will only slow down my speed of making money."

"Making money? You're not going to waste your beautiful youth on part-time jobs, are you?"

"Part-time job my ass. You sparrows, how could you know the ambitions of a swan?"

Ren Ziqiang thought for a moment, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "I get it, Old Jiang, you're just not confident, are you?"

Zhou Chao also understood: "No wonder you didn't have a girlfriend in high school. Afraid of being rejected? Actually, you don't have to pursue someone like Song Qingqing. That level is too high, but with your looks, you definitely have a chance with someone more ordinary."

"?????"

This was like doing a reading comprehension without even looking at the question, just blindly guessing. Was that what he meant?

But since they had already brought it up, Jiang Qin was indeed a little curious about that Song Qingqing, so he turned his head to take a look.

Song Qingqing's makeup was indeed well done. It looked very professional, unlike those girls who had just learned to put on makeup, unable to cover up their flaws and ending up with cakey foundation. But even with makeup, her looks were only around a 6, about the same as Wang Huiru.

Feng Nanshu's face was another story; she was a perfect-score enchantress.

But Chu Siqi definitely completely crushed Song Qingqing, and even Hong Yan, whom he had just met yesterday, far surpassed her.

"Old Jiang, Old Jiang?"

"Huh?"

Ren Ziqiang pouted: "Still saying you're not interested? You're completely mesmerized! Can't you be honest?"

Jiang Qin chuckled: "Yes, I'm fucking mesmerized."

"Don't even think about it. A girl like that definitely has a boyfriend. How could she be interested in us? I suggest being more realistic and finding someone gentle and quiet."

Jiang Qin was somewhat impressed with Ren Ziqiang: "Old Ren, that's a very insightful idea. I agree with your point of view."

After a long while, the new student orientation came to an end.

The students of Financial Class 3 walked out of the classroom in a flurry, following the Counselor to the Academic Affairs Office to collect their Military Training Uniforms.

Cao Guangyu's height was at most 1.72 meters, so a 175 Military Training Uniform would have been perfect, and Teacher Lü had originally planned it that way.

But because there were many girls watching nearby, he felt like he would lose face, so he insisted on getting a 180 Military Training Uniform, regardless of the Counselor's objections.

"Old Cao, can you fucking be honest?"

"How am I not being honest? 180 is the perfect size for me!"

Cao Guangyu glared at Ren Ziqiang, deeply resenting him for exposing his little scheme at this time.

Seeing this, the girls next to them were laughing so hard they could barely breathe, constantly sizing up Cao Guangyu with their eyes. Even more tragic was that Old Cao, who claimed to be 180, was actually the same height as Liu Xiaojuan next to him. This guy shamelessly said, "You're 180 too?" making Liu Xiaojuan extremely embarrassed.

After getting their Military Training Uniforms, the four of them returned to the dormitory and discussed going out for a meal together.

Jiang Qin had taken Feng Nanshu out for a walk last night, resulting in an incomplete dormitory population. Now that everyone was finally together, they definitely wanted to go out and have a good meal.

"Old Cao, you're a rich second generation, so you should treat us for the first meal, right?" Ren Ziqiang asked, patting him on the shoulder.

"Get lost. Why should I treat?"

"You always say your family owns a company with millions in daily turnover. You should show off your wealth a little!"

Cao Guangyu could afford a meal, but he had just been roasted by Ren Ziqiang about his height, so he was a million times unwilling to treat.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin quietly beckoned, calling Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao together.

"Do you want Cao to treat us?"

"Yes, of course! If he treats, I'll be happy all day!"

Jiang Qin crooked his finger: "Give me ten yuan each, and I'll get Cao to treat."

Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao exchanged glances and quickly took out ten yuan from their pockets and handed it to Jiang Qin.

"Just watch my cues later."

After Jiang Qin got the money, he stuffed it into his wallet, then took out a twenty-yuan bill and held it in his hand, swaggering forward as if nothing had happened.

Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao didn't know what he was going to do, so they could only follow curiously.

As a result, as soon as the four of them left the school gate, Cao Guangyu suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he screamed, "Damn, I found twenty yuan, brothers! I found twenty yuan!"

"Damn, Cao, you're so lucky! Finding money right after school starts, you'll definitely have smooth sailing for the next four years!" Jiang Qin reacted quickly, instantly taking his envy and amazement to the peak.

"Really? It's just twenty yuan, it's not that big of a deal, is it?"

Zhou Chao also reacted: "Damn, why don't I have such good luck? Is this the aura of a rich and handsome guy?"

Cao Guangyu was hit in the heart by the phrase 'rich and handsome': "It seems I really am a dragon among men!"

"That's for sure! Forget about studying, I bet your love life is about to start these next few days."

Ren Ziqiang also understood at this moment and quickly added an assist: "Cao, the four of us came out together, but you're the only one with such good luck, you have to treat us!"

Jiang Qin patted Cao Guangyu's shoulder hard: "Ren is right, you can't get away with not treating us."

"No problem, I'll treat, I'll treat!"

"Cao is awesome!"

"Cao truly deserves to be called a rich and handsome guy!"

Then, the three of them went all the way to Nanshan Restaurant and ordered one hundred and twenty yuan worth of dishes. Cao Guangyu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

I found twenty yuan, but the treat cost one hundred and twenty, so I lost a hundred overall? Cao Guangyu shook his head, feeling that money couldn't be calculated like that. The twenty he found had an aura of good luck.

Just then, Jiang Qin's phone suddenly rang. He opened it and found a QQ message from Hong Yan.

"We're done with registration, where are we going to eat?"

Jiang Qin was stunned when he saw this message, realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood something. This was a sequela left over from working for too long. As soon as he heard someone say "eat," he subconsciously thought it was after nine o'clock in the evening. But looking back at the chat history, he could see that Hong Yan was talking about after registration yesterday.

But he's with his roommates now, what to do?

If he ditches them to eat with someone else on the first meal after entering college, he'll definitely be criticized for the next four years.

"How about Nanshan Restaurant on Pedestrian Street? I heard the food there is good."

"Okay, I'll head out now, wait for me."

"Wait a minute, there's something else!"

"What is it?"

"My roommates are here too, do you mind?"

"Then... can I bring a few roommates too?"

"Of course."
