In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Zhejiang University campus, faculty and staff dormitory.
Su Zelin was sitting in Zhou Fuliang's house.
Dean Zhou invited him to come over for tea today.
This is the third time Su Zelin has appeared in this place in the past month.
The first time, the two of them had other intentions. They agreed on "giving back to Zhejiang University's campus construction and education in the new century", and then their relationship went a step further.
Being in this position, Zhou Fuliang had no shortage of partners in interest, but he was quite cautious in selecting them.
He would never consider anything that goes against his principles.
Dean Zhou does not intend to have any interest relationship with those who take crooked paths, have flamboyant personalities, and may bring trouble to him.
Although he had only met Su Zelin once, he found that this young man was steady, sophisticated, reserved and low-key. He even kept the fact that he was the founder of New Century a secret to avoid attracting attention.
Moreover, the vice president of Zhejiang University who is in charge of the digital business on campus also paid him a visit later. Of course, it was impossible for him to just express his gratitude verbally.
This shows that this young man considers everything very carefully. He does not ignore any details and can always make all parties happy.
With such qualities, you will definitely be a successful person in the future, and possibly a very successful one.
Overall, Zhou Fuliang still admired Su Zelin very much, and since they had started working together, he would ask him to come over for tea whenever he was free.
But the next two times were really mainly for drinking tea.
During this period, the dean's wife went out to study, and Zhou Fuliang was alone at home.
While drinking tea, Su Zelin seemed a little absent-minded, and even his technique of making Kung Fu tea was a little off-standard.
"Xiao Su, are you worried?"
Dean Zhou asked when he saw this.
"Thank you for your concern, President Zhou. It's not a big deal. New Century is planning to open a few more branches, but we can't think of a suitable university for the moment! I asked someone to ask around, and there are shops for rent or transfer, but they are too small and the scale is not suitable. New Century should either not do it, or it has to be the biggest and best!"
Having said that, Su Zelin sighed.
Zhou Fuliang understood as soon as he heard it.
It seems that this boy's absent-mindedness and poor tea-making skills were all pretended on purpose. He was just waiting for me to ask him questions and then guide him.
What a little fox!
"Haha, come to think of it, I know quite a few university leaders who are in charge of this area. Their university campuses are basically blank in the digital field. If New Century moves in with the same model, I think they will welcome it."
Su Zelin's eyes lit up.
In fact, he was just asking casually.
I didn't expect Dean Zhou to agree so immediately and so readily.
This is the role of close connections!
What might be a very troublesome problem for me, could be solved with just one sentence at Zhou Fuliang's level.
Of course, Zhou Fuliang only provided an opportunity for him to contact leaders of other universities, just like when Dai Chuangxing introduced himself to Zhou Fuliang. Whether the deal could be successful depended on himself.
However, this opportunity is already precious. If it weren't for Dean Zhou acting as a middleman, it would be difficult to meet with leaders of other universities in private.
With Zhou Fuliang as a recommender, his weight in the eyes of those leaders would be different, and it would naturally be easier to get things done.
In this way, the digital store might be able to finalize a few more branches. Su Zelin couldn't help but feel in a good mood and hurriedly thanked Zhou Fuliang.
Afterwards, Su Zelin's hands stopped shaking while he was making tea, and they were as steady as a robot.
Zhou Fuliang felt that this kid was indeed acting just now.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."
The doorbell rang.
Zhou Fuliang walked over and opened the door.
In addition to Su Zelin, there will be other people coming today.
Soon, a girl walked into the living room.
Seeing her appearance, Su Zelin was stunned for a moment.
"Qiu Wen?"
This uninvited guest turned out to be Qin Shiqing's roommate.
"Su Zelin?"
Yan Qiuwen was also slightly moved.
But after a moment of surprise, her face calmed down.
Before the opening of the New Century Zhejiang University branch, she happened to meet Su Zelin next to the store under construction. She guessed that the other party might have a relationship with a leader of Zhejiang University, including the dean.
"Do you know each other?"
Zhou Fuliang asked curiously.
"Well, uncle, my friend, we have met several times."
Yan Qiuwen nodded slightly.
"uncle?"
Su Zelin was really surprised this time.
Oh my god, am I mistaken? The president of Zhejiang University is actually Yan Qiuwen’s uncle
This is such a coincidence!
Zhou Fuliang was also surprised.
This is rare among Yan Qiuwen's friends.
My niece is an absolute genius with a very high IQ. If she were an ordinary person, it would be good enough if she was willing to talk to you for a few more words.
There are very few people whom she considers her friends, and among the girls, there are probably only a few of her roommates at Zhejiang University. That’s because they live in the same dormitory and have a lot of contact with each other, so they see each other every day.
As for boys, Zhou Fuliang really had never heard of any friends his niece had.
Su Zelin and she had only met a few times, but her niece acknowledged him as a friend, which meant one thing: in her niece's eyes, this boy had an extremely high IQ, probably the same or close to her level. Otherwise, no matter how long they had known each other and how much contact they had, in Yan Qiuwen's eyes, he would still be just a passerby.
Through their last meal together, Zhou Fuliang could actually see that Su Zelin was very smart and mature beyond his years, but he did not associate him with a genius like Yan Qiuwen.
After saying hello, the girl said to Zhou Fuliang: "Uncle, I'll return the book to you."
Only then did Su Zelin realize that Yan Qiuwen was holding a stack of philosophy books in her hands.
Zhou Fuliang is both the president of the University of Philosophy and a professor in the Department of Philosophy. He has a large collection of books in related fields, so Yan Qiuwen would often come to borrow them.
"Well, Qiu Wen, please put it in the study for me. Just take any book you want."
"OK."
Yan Qiuwen walked into the study.
"Xiao Su, you are the founder of New Century, does Qiu Wen know?"
Zhou Fuliang lowered his voice.
If his niece was just an ordinary person, Dean Zhou might not have asked this question.
However, she is really smart, and she learned psychology from her mother, so she is very good at understanding human nature.
If she is interested in someone, all she needs to do is make some contact with him/her, without saying or doing anything, and that person will be exposed in front of her.
My nephew has few girlfriends, and boys are even rarer, so she would probably want to know more about Su Zelin.
"Know!"
Su Zelin did not deny it and then added another sentence.
"Only a limited number of people knew about this. I didn't tell Qiu Wen, so she guessed it herself."
"learn."
Zhou Fuliang was not surprised.
My niece has this ability. She can always see through many things hidden behind with just her eyes.
After a while, Yan Qiuwen came out of the study with a few new books in her hands.
She had nothing to do with Zhou Fuliang, she just came to return a book and borrow a few more.
"President Zhou, I have something to do so I have to go back first. I will come visit you again when I have time."
At this time, Su Zelin also wanted to leave, so the two of them left the dean's house together.
Walking side by side on the road, Yan Qiuwen asked casually, "Is everything going well?"
Su Zelin knew that she was not asking about business. He had opened a branch at Zhejiang University, and it was almost becoming an Internet celebrity store, so naturally things were going smoothly.
That's asking about relationship issues.
“It’s a bit troublesome.”
Su Zelin sighed.
The relationship between him and Qin Shiqing had never been sorted out, and instead became increasingly complicated.
“You deserve it!”
Yan Qiuwen curled her lips.
This is your retribution for being unfaithful.
"Oh, you also have emotions?"
Su Zelin was slightly stunned.
In his impression, Yan Qiuwen was always a calm and unemotional girl. Su Zelin even suspected that she might be cold in some aspects.
“I’m not a robot!”
Yan Qiuwen was not happy.
"oh!"
Su Zelin nodded slightly.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be cold in some aspects.
Otherwise her future boyfriend would be too boring.
"Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Yan Qiuwen's pretty face turned slightly red.
Su Zelin's eyes flickered a little strangely, and she could guess what dirty things were on the other person's mind.
Boy, can you tell that
That’s too much!
Su Zelin was a little embarrassed.
It's actually quite comfortable to get along with such a smart person. It feels like a gentleman's friendship, and you can talk freely about your true feelings.
Su Zelin had always kept the matter with Qin Shiqing in his heart and had never told anyone, not even Lu Haoran, with whom he had the best relationship.
Keeping things in your heart for too long can actually be quite frustrating, and sometimes it can be more comfortable to talk to someone.
For some reason, I could talk to Yan Qiuwen naturally and there was no distance between us.
In a way, it's like a different kind of confidant.
We haven't met many times, but you understand me and I understand you.
The only bad thing is that she is like a worm in your stomach, and some bad thoughts cannot be concealed.
Even if I drive in my mind, it won’t work.
"What a nice day today."
Su Zelin looked up at the sky and laughed.
Neither of them spoke.
Soon, we arrived at a fork in the road.
One side leads to the school gate, the other side leads to the girls' dormitory.
Yan Qiuwen spoke again: "Goodbye!"
"Well, bye!"
Su Zelin nodded and they parted ways.
What a strange woman.
…
When we got back to the dormitory, Lao Feng said as soon as we entered the door: "Lao San, there's a registered letter for you. It's on the table!"
"Registered letter?"
Su Zelin is a little strange.
Ever since my junior high school sister came to the Finance College, no one has written to me.
He went to the desk and picked up the letter. As soon as he saw the sender's address on it, he understood.
Jianglan City Vehicle Administration Office.
I took the driving test during the summer vacation, and filled in the address of the School of Finance because according to the time calculation, I should be here when the certificate is issued.
Su Zelin quickly opened the registered letter and found a brand new C1 driver's license inside.
In addition to his car driver's license, he has also obtained his D license. He took the test in Lin'an when he had time. He took advantage of a loophole and registered in a different place, thus avoiding a one-year cooling-off period.
The motorcycle driver’s license test is relatively quick, and sometimes you can get it in about ten days.
With two certificates in hand, the world is mine!
I'll see when I can spare some spare money so I can buy a car to travel around. But now it takes money to open branches, so I have to wait patiently.
Maybe next semester. This semester, with the help of Brother Yang, we can take bigger steps and open two or three more branches.
Then by next semester, if nothing unexpected happens, New Century should have four or five branches, which is not a small scale.
By then, the senior management must be provided with a few cars. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for a large digital chain store to go out and discuss business without even a small car.
In Xia Country, face is still very important. Many people will even judge whether you are capable or not by your car when negotiating business with you, so some bosses will buy a car to save face no matter what.
…
The next afternoon.
School of Finance campus, professional course classroom.
Before class, several girls in Class 501 were chattering in the front, all of them very excited.
"This meteor shower is said to be the largest in history. We can't miss it. We must watch it that night!"
"Yes, I heard that it only comes once every thirty-three years. If we don't see it this time, it will come thirty-three years later. By then we will all be old women!"
"Please don't let it rain, God, I beg you!"
"… "
The girls talked about the Leonid meteor shower on November 19, 2001.
Its parent comet is Comet Temple-Tuttle. Every time the comet returns to the vicinity of the sun, it strips off some material under the action of the solar wind. When the earth encounters these materials, a meteor shower will occur.
Since Leo is the radiant point, it is called the Leonid meteor shower. And unlike ordinary small meteor showers, this is a large-scale meteor shower with many fireballs and bright meteors. The brightest meteor even exceeds the brightness of the full moon.
The Leonid meteor storm is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the craze for "Meteor Garden" has not yet subsided. These little girls are almost all fans of that idol drama, so it is understandable how much they want to see this meteor storm.
"Cai Wensheng, you have to accompany me to watch it that night. Let's go to the stadium together. That place is open and there are not so many obstacles!"
Popcorn said to her boyfriend in a coquettish manner that she had long fantasized about the romantic scene of sitting on the grass and watching the meteor shower with the boy she liked, just like the heroine in "Meteor Garden".
"Haha, of course I have to accompany you, Popcorn. Not only this time, but also next time, and even the time after that, when we are old and gray, we will still watch it together, okay!"
Cai Wensheng responded with a smile.
"Can you two stop being so cheesy? Please tone it down. Can't you consider the feelings of us single guys?"
Everyone glared angrily.
Recently, the youngest kids in the two dormitories have been getting more and more affectionate, and showing their affection in front of others more and more unscrupulously, which is about to arouse public anger.
However, Cai Wensheng and Popcorn were both smiling, because although everyone was being aggressive, they were just joking.
As the youngest in the two dormitories, they all have baby faces and childish personalities. They are usually well cared for and are almost the darlings of the group.
Su Zelin's heart moved, and memories were brought back.
Wow, this is the first Leonid meteor shower of the new century. It is also the largest meteor shower I have ever seen before my rebirth. It is not an exaggeration to call it the king of meteor showers...
This Leo meteor shower also caused a national sensation in the past life.
After all, the Temple-Tuttle Comet only returns once every thirty-three years. In other words, people on Earth have a chance to see it once every thirty-three years. Moreover, there are many constraints on observation. Xia Kingdom has missed the chance to encounter any of the four meteor storms that have occurred since the 20th century.
The Leonid meteor shower in the new century is a good observation point in Xia Country, and the observation conditions are uniquely good, so almost everyone in the country watched it, because the opportunity may only come once in a lifetime, and it is hard to seek. In fact, many people of that era will remember that meteor storm in later generations.
As someone who likes new things so much, Su Zelin certainly wouldn't miss it.
Not only did he look at it, he also called Qin Shiqing to join him, and they brought a telescope and climbed to the top of a mountain in Lin'an with many astronomy enthusiasts. That was the best observation point in Lin'an City.
The two spent an unforgettable night there.
Although it was a bit cold in Lin'an in November, and the temperature was even lower in the mountains in the middle of the night, they were all in high spirits. They just snuggled together, feeling the cold wind and witnessed the magnificent performance of nature.
Come to think of it, I still feel nostalgic.
It's a pity that I can't accompany her to see it this time.
By the way, on the night of the May Fourth Art Evening Party, Qin Shiqing went to the Finance College. Later when she saw me, she said that we should go watch the meteor shower together when we have time.
Maybe this time she will take the initiative to ask me out.
If that's the case, how should I respond
…
After class, I returned to the dormitory, turned on the computer and just logged into QQ.
“Ding ding ding…”
Someone sent a message, and it was Qin Shiqing.
The childhood sweetheart went straight to the point.
Sunny: "Zelin, have you heard about the Leo meteor shower in a few days?"
Well, I was just thinking about this and it happened.
Su Zelin was mentally prepared.
He was handsome at the age of one: "I heard about it."
Qingtian: "Remember what you promised me on the night of May 4th? Let's go see the meteor shower once if we have a chance. How about this time? I heard that this is a very rare meteor shower, which only comes once every thirty-three years!"
One-year-old is very handsome: "Yes, that is a must-see. How about this, let's set the alarm clock to midnight, wake up at the appointed time and run to the dormitory balcony to watch it together!"
sunny:"… "
Qin Shiqing felt a little dizzy.
Can this be called watching a meteor shower together
You are being too perfunctory!
Qingtian: "Su Zelin, you have changed. You no longer keep your word. You promised me before that you would do it no matter what [angry eyes]"
Very handsome at the age of one: "Hey, don't say that, or you will be sued for slander. I didn't make any promises at that time, I just told you 'we'll talk about it later'!"
Sunny day: "Isn't it later now?"
Very handsome at the age of one: "It will be in the future, but I didn't agree. Qin Shiqing, you are so boring. You ran out to watch the meteor shower in the middle of the night in such a cold weather. You are bored, right?"
Sunny day: "You are the one who is bored! Such an interesting thing can leave a rich and colorful mark in our youth. When we think about it in old age, it will be a wonderful memory!"
Very handsome at the age of one: "What's so wonderful? I just think that I was very immature at that time. I would rather enjoy the feeling of lying in a warm bed. If I really want to see it, I can just go to the balcony of the dormitory and take a few glances!"
Sunny: "But didn't you like watching shooting stars when you were a kid? In the summer when the weather was clear, you would sometimes sleep on the rooftop, saying that you could open your eyes in the middle of the night and see them at any time."
Very handsome at the age of one: "When I was a child, I once thought about becoming a scientist! I was young and ignorant at that time, but people change. Now I am eighteen years old and an adult. Of course, I will not do such childish things. Could it be that I am so bored that I climbed to the top of a mountain and blew the northwest wind all night just to watch a fireworks show? Who would do such a stupid thing!"
Sunny: "Su Zelin, you are a pighead!"
He was handsome at the age of one: "Whatever you say, I don't care!"
Sunny day: "Pig head, pig head, pig head, humph, I won't pay attention to you!"
After saying this, Qin Shiqing’s QQ avatar instantly turned gray.
Su Zelin was slightly stunned.
This was the first time he saw his childhood sweetheart go offline so suddenly.
This woman looks really angry.
You are already eighteen years old, why are you still so willful and immature
Forget it, I don’t care about her.
Zhejiang University, girls’ dormitory.
Qin Shiqing stared at the chat box.
In fact, she didn't go offline, she just became invisible.
Come and comfort me quickly, pighead!
However, the girl waited for a long time, but there was still no movement in the chat box.
Qin Shiqing was really angry.
If that pighead were in front of me, I would definitely pinch him a few times!
"Hey, Shiqing, what's wrong with you? You look like you've eaten explosives. Did someone provoke you again?"
When Xiao Yue saw that her roommate was unhappy, she guessed something and couldn't help but ask jokingly.
"Who else could it be other than that pig-head? During the May 4th Youth Day Gala, he promised me to watch the meteor shower with him, but now he's breaking his promise!"
Qin Shiqing did not hide anything in front of her good sisters, because the relationship between her and Su Zelin was no longer a secret in the dormitory.
"Is it so abominable? How can a man go back on his word?"
Xiao Yue was also filled with righteous indignation and spoke up for her roommate.
"A guy like this should be sentenced to prison without a wife. He will never find a wife in his life!"
"That's not necessary. It's too serious."
Qin Shiqing did not quite agree with such punishment.
"Let's punish him by making him wash the dishes for his wife every day. That will be fine!"
At the end, the girl herself laughed.
An image popped into her mind.
Su Zelin in the kitchen was wearing an apron and looked reluctant.
I'm really looking forward to it.
"Huff!"
Su Zelin on the other side sneezed.
The gangster wiped his nose.
I didn't catch a cold.
This is for no reason. Who is cursing me
…
