A Girl Who Wants to Be a Beneficial Person to Society-Chapter 346: Changing the Future
Chapter 346
Tuesday.
Sunny.
Xiaoqi knew Lin Min ge would come over today, and was quite looking forward to it. She dressed up neatly early in the morning.
She felt that when meeting hometown folks, she must look smart and tidy.
However, after trying on two skirts, she still felt awkward. She exercises every day, so her figure proportions are very good, and her legs are also beautifully slim and shapely. She looks good in skirts, but she still feels a little uncomfortable herself, probably because she didn't wear skirts since she was little, although she dreams of beautiful princess dresses in her heart, she still feels awkward.
She changed into a green sweatshirt with jeans, which felt much more comfortable.
The bright green highlighted her fairer skin tone. After coming to university for so long, Xiaoqi seemed to have fully blossomed into a young lady. Her features were brighter than before, and she walked with a more upright posture. She was still recognizable, but had changed tremendously.
It was as if she had turned on the beauty filter in daily life.
Xiaoqi had half a day of classes on Tuesday mornings, and no classes in the afternoon. She had an elective class at night, so the afternoon was perfect for properly hosting Lin Min ge.
Li Weijin arrived at school in the morning and saw Xiaoqi, feeling a burning sensation in his clavicle immediately.
Xiaoqi also saw Li Weijin, and thought of what her roommates said, feeling a little awkward too. Then she saw the little sheep on his phone...
Li Weijin had just wanted to randomly grab something to let Xiaoqi accept his jade Buddha. He hadn't expected at all that the decorative charm on Xiaoqi's backpack zipper would be more valuable than his Buddha... It was the first time in his life that the girl he liked had casually shown off her wealth to him.
He was very indifferent towards money. He had been nagged by his brother for a long time, saying that he shouldn't have taken such a valuable item from the girl without giving something of equivalent value in return, blah blah...
Li Weijin didn't understand why his brother was being so crazy. It was his brother who told him not to give gifts in the first place, and now he was the one telling him to give gifts again.
He wanted to give Xiaoqi many, many things. Most of all he wanted to give himself to her, she just had to accept him.
The two almost silently glanced at each other in class, before quickly turning their heads again. It was a bit strange, but also a bit thrilling.
Fortunately, Xiaoqi was still quite focused during class and didn't daydream. In terms of learning and life, Xiaoqi actually lived a rather dull life, like an ascetic monk.
After a busy morning of classes, when school was over, Xiaoqi told her roommates that she wouldn't eat with them. Her neighbor's brother had come to Qingmeng University and she would eat with him.
As soon as Xiaoqi came out of the teaching building, she saw Lin Min ge standing at the edge of the track field.
Long time no see.
Lin Min was wearing a plaid shirt, one of those plaid shirts that programmers wear all over the streets. But it didn't look tacky at all on him, on the contrary it looked very fresh and upright.
He and the flamboyant Li Weijin had two different styles. Li Weijin was handsome like a little peacock, while Lin Min was like a tree, a apricot tree. The shape of his leaves was beautiful, the trunk upright, giving off a clean and gentle feeling.
Many girls frequently looked his way.
Xiaoqi thought about the Lin Min ge from before, and felt like he had been slightly gloomy, even with a smile on his face. Probably because the system kept reminding her that Lin Min was a blackened teenager, and there was the dimly lit basement.
But seeing him again now, they both realized they had changed a lot.
Lin Min seemed much sunnier, free and easy.
Amongst the crowd, Lin Min spotted Xiaoqi at a glance.
She had become even prettier. In fact, Lin Min had been keeping an eye on Xiaoqi all along. He knew when Xiaoqi participated in horse racing competitions, and when she got first place in her major.
This girl who came out of the basement like him was now dazzling.
He had collected videos of her running marathons. She looked better doing other horse racing, singing, and public speaking than running. When running, one has to exert effort, and the expressions inevitably become ugly or even twisted at times.
But Lin Min felt that those moments of desperate effort revealed the truest side of Xiaoqi.
Deep down, Xiaoqi was probably the same as him.
He liked Su Xiaoqi, but would never say it, not now, nor in the future.
"Lin Min ge, have you finished your errands?" Xiaoqi jogged a few steps over and stopped in front of him with a smile.
"Almost done."
“Okay then, I’ll take you out for a meal.”
The two then walked side by side.
Since school had just ended, Xiaoqi decided to take Lin Min ge to eat at a student street snack bar. The cafeteria would be too crowded and they'd have to aggressively squeeze and fight for seats at this time, which didn't suit the atmosphere of treating someone to a meal. It was still better to go to the student street.
There was a stir fry shop on the student street that was also very tasty, the same one where Yunshu's parents treated everyone to a meal at the beginning of the semester.
Their black pepper beef was simply amazing, the beef was tender and chewy, and the taste was also very beautiful, very appetizing.
Also, if you choose a private room, you can even see the lake, a proper lake view.
The price was not too high either, and the ingredients were quite fresh.
Xiaoqi ordered a black pepper beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised Japanese tofu, garlic baby bok choy, and clam soup.
Then she went to serve rice for Lin Min ge. At shops run by students here, customers serve themselves, you can eat as much as you want, charged per person.
Lin Min helped rinse the bowls, chopsticks and spoons with hot water.
Although the two had been neighbors for three years, and their dining tables weren't that far apart, this was only the second time they ate together.
When Xiaoqi brought the white rice over, the dishes hadn't arrived yet, so the two bowls of plain rice felt a little awkward.
Whenever her roommates came over, they would start munching on the white rice before the dishes arrived. The white rice here was also very tasty, sticky and glutinous. Xiaoqi could eat a whole bowl of just the white rice.
"What brings Lin Min ge to Qingmeng?"
Lin Min also felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had traveled all over with An Jie during the summer and experienced a lot, half-maturing in the process, and had tried all kinds of ways to earn money after arriving at Qingmeng University, becoming much thicker-skinned than before, looking like a refined scholar but actually quite familiar with society and more slippery now, facing Xiaoqi still made him inexplicably nervous for some reason.
"Still taking care of some express delivery business..." Speaking of his own work relaxed Lin Min a bit.
Li Weijin, who had gone to the cafeteria with his classmates, did not get to wait for Xiaoqi. Upon finding out that she had actually gone to meet her fellow townsman,
he had just seen a male student who looked quite pleasing to the eye, resembling his older brother, looking rather mature.
Seeing the girls in the group chat energetically discussing whether it was the class monitor's boyfriend, with the one with the white dress avatar talking the most, annoyed him to death. He wanted to mute her if there was a mute function.
Chuyu: That guy just now was so handsome, no wonder the class monitor doesn't date, turns out she already has a boyfriend!
Xiaoqi's roommates weren't in the class group, but Suli retorted: “Any guy you don't know is immediately the boyfriend, are you a jealous wife? Why are you so nosy?”
Li Weijin also believed that the man was definitely not Xiaoqi's boyfriend, but still felt uneasy.
He went straight to the table with Xiaoqi's roommates and asked Wei Cheng where Xiaoqi had gone.
"Her neighbor's brother who goes to Qingmeng University is here for something. She's eating with him." Wei Cheng answered very properly.
Hearing it was a neighbor brother, Li Weijin felt relieved.
Xiaoqi's roommates, that tallest and most sincere one, he didn't ask Mimi, feeling that she would mock him, nor did he ask Gu Yunshu, feeling that she was not very friendly.
When did Li Weijin get so close with the girls from room 606 that he was eating together with them? Others were quite curious seeing this.
Xiaoqi was also a little embarrassed at first, but listening to Lin Min ge talk about his experiences over this period, she became engrossed in it, forgetting her embarrassment.
She didn't expect that while she had been ordinarily attending school, Lin Min ge had done so many things.
Lin Min first set up a stall selling used books, then opened a small shop to help receive and send express deliveries, while also selling second-hand items and books. Soon he encountered competition from similar shops, so he designed his own express locker. The original lockers charged fees, requiring payment every time something was deposited, usually 1 yuan.
But the locker he designed was free - items could be deposited for free, with only a 0.5 yuan fee if left over 24 hours, capped at 3 yuan.
The locations were also set scientifically - at dorm building entrances, classroom building entrances, and then gradually expanded to surrounding residential districts.
Everyone thought he was silly, doing things for free.
But through this he pulled in a round of venture capital investment. This unremarkable sheet metal locker, just scan a WeChat code, could even have ad slots on top, pulling in another chunk of money.
It seemed simple and easy.
He suddenly had the idea to make a locker with more advantages. At first his issues with the existing lockers, with fees and poor placement, limited functionality, made him think - why not improve upon this?
He was extremely busy during that time, sometimes only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day.
But he succeeded.
A freshman, he pulled in tens of millions in venture capital.
It was practically a miracle.
Today he came to Huanhua also to discuss business for his lockers. He didn't need to come himself originally, he already had many people working for him, even getting his roommates to help out. Each responsible for different regions.
But he wanted to come and see Xiao Qi.
He thought of many flashy, extravagant ways they could meet again.
In the end he came wearing plain, ordinary clothes.
Seeing Xiao Qi was doing well, and so was he.
At this moment, Lin Min felt very calm inside.
Xiao Qi listened attentively, when suddenly the mechanical voice in her mind sounded: "The host's improved life attitude has brought positive influence to the moderately dark youth, reducing his level of darkness, changing his future. Awarding the host half of his financial gains."
Xiao Qi blanked in surprise, and saw an additional 5 million suddenly appear in her interface. Right, a 5, six 0's, five million.
