Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 299 - 127: Is Zelin the Boss of New Era?

Kang Baohong's mind raced like lightning.

This girl was naturally beautiful, graceful, and with an exceptional demeanor, like an orchid blooming in a secluded valley. Plus, she was a top student at Zhejiang University, both beautiful and wise, incomparable to those with mere good looks.

Moreover, as the neighbor of the young boss, their childhood friendship was especially strong. Who would believe that she came all the way here for nothing?

Even if she's not the boss's girlfriend, she's definitely the prospective one!

But why doesn't the young boss want to admit it?

Because he has so many pretty girls around him.

The two classmates he invited to help during the New Year opening and this school opening were both radiant and each had their own charm. One was proud and elegant, the other was vibrant and passionate.

Other people find it hard to even invite girls like them for a meal, yet the young boss can command their presence at will without even having to pay them wages, freeloading like a pro, truly impressive.

But there's no choice, the young boss is not only a handsome young man, with a god-given face, wealthy, and a smooth talker who knows how to sweet-talk girls.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that the young boss doesn't want to be tied down by the prospective girlfriend so early and therefore is unwilling to admit it for now.

After all, youth is about having fun, especially with such favorable conditions.

If the other girls knew he already had a main girlfriend, it wouldn't be as fun.

Of course, while the boss can ignore the prospective girlfriend, I mustn't be ignorant, better go make an acquaintance and flatter a bit first.

So Kang Baohong poured a glass of water, eagerly ran over, and placed it in front of Qin Shiqing, who was casually playing with an experience machine, with a flattering smile: "Hello, I am Kang Baohong, the general manager of New Era!"

Qin Shiqing was slightly taken aback.

This digital store seemed quite high-end, being the general manager, his status wouldn't be low, yet he personally brought water to a student like her and even used honorifics, which left Qin Shiqing puzzled.

Nonetheless, Qin Shiqing nodded and said, "Hello, General Manager Kang, thank you!"

"Ma'am, just call me Little Kang!"

Kang Baohong was flattered: "Welcome to New Era for your guidance."

"Ma'am?"

Qin Shiqing was completely confused.

Why was this general manager calling her that, so inexplicable.

She frowned: "General Manager Kang, you must be mistaken, I don't know the boss of your store."

"Uh, you don't know?"

Kang Baohong was dumbfounded too, instinctively glancing at Su Zelin.

Didn't the young boss say she was a high school classmate and neighbor, how could she not know?

This clearly didn't make sense!

Right, there's another possibility.

That is, for some reason, the young boss never told the prospective girlfriend that he opened this digital store!

Oops, I've caused trouble now!

Kang Baohong cursed himself for talking too much, but he quickly adapted, and immediately mended his mistake: "Ah, sorry, I mistook you for someone else, you look a lot like our boss's girlfriend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

After explaining, without giving Qin Shiqing a chance to question further, Kang Baohong swiftly slipped away.

Qin Shiqing was bewildered.

What a strange person, what did he mean?

Moreover, those last few words sounded like he was covering something up.

A flash of insight struck her mind, and the girl's bright eyes suddenly widened.

Could the boss that General Manager Kang mentioned be Zelin?

When I said I didn't know the store owner earlier, he even turned to look at Zelin!

Right, after the college entrance exam, Zelin did mention wanting to start a business in college.

Was this digital store opened by him?

The more Qin Shiqing thought, the more questions she had.

Previously, when Hooni mentioned working part-time at a digital store in Finance College, Qin Shiqing found it quite odd.

Working for others isn't something her childhood friend would do.

With his unrestrained personality, he's definitely not someone who likes being constrained.

When Su Zelin told her he wanted to discipline himself, Qin Shiqing didn't suspect much.

But now it seems, perhaps things are not what they appeared to be.

However, such a store would likely require a substantial investment.

Leaving aside other things, just the facade and the level of decoration, along with those dozens of experience machines, would probably cost over two hundred thousand, not to mention stocking up!

Previously, Zelin won a lottery, and later reportedly made several folds in stocks, having over a hundred thousand at hand.

Even if he invested all that money, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Or are his uncle and aunt supporting him?

But if his uncle and aunt knew about it, there would be no need to hide it.

Especially his aunt, she would want others to know Zelin started a business in college and opened such a large digital store.

Could Zelin be hiding it from even his uncle and aunt?

The girl's expression was an alternating mix of surprise and suspicion.

She found many clues pointing to Su Zelin as the true owner behind the store, yet some details couldn't be fully comprehended.

Over at the other side, Su Zelin found Kang Baohong and said in a low voice, "What did you say to her?"

Inside the store, the two's identities were as general manager and store manager, and Kang Baohong's rank was obviously higher, so Hooni was careful with his words.

"Nothing, I just let her look around."

Kang Baohong felt a bit guilty and anxious.

It seemed the young boss's secret was exposed in front of the prospective girlfriend by him, unsure what consequences might follow.

Su Zelin immediately sensed he was not being sincere.

With customers entering the store, unless it was really busy, when does a general manager personally attend to them and even bring them a glass of water?
