Chapter 95: A Little Opportunistic Method

The wealthy Luo Jun finished a game quietly.

Crushing defeat.

Maybe money isn't that capable of doing whatever it wants.

Luo Jun silently exited the game, found that everyone had finished eating, and said: "Isn't the baozi not wrapped yet? Go wrap the baozi."

The biggest gold master of the orphanage had spoken, so everyone had to take action. Except for the security grandpa at the door who needed to watch the children and not let them run out, the older children and staff were mobilized to go to the kitchen to wrap baozi.

Chen Huihong saw that there were so many people wrapping baozi, and felt that she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of kneading dough, but was forcibly suppressed by Qin Huai.

Director Qu knows how to knead a little dough, so let Director Qu knead it.

Director Qu is obviously a talkative person.

"Master Xiao Qin, how long have you known Jingjing?" Director Qu asked.

"One month," Qin Huai said.

Director Qu was even more enthusiastic: "You are so familiar in one month, how did you and Jingjing meet?"

"Mr. Luo is Doctor Qu's patient and also my guest. Sister Hong is Doctor Qu's sponsor and also my friend. That's probably the relationship. Doctor Qu occasionally comes to my shop to buy dim sum, and I often accompany Mr. Luo to the hospital for physiotherapy, and Doctor Qu often accompanies him. We chatted for a long time and got familiar."

Director Qu didn't understand, but it didn't matter, she would extract key information.

"Oh, you are Mr. Luo's grandson, right."

Qin Huai:? How was this information extracted?

How did he become Luo Jun's grandson generation?

"No," Qin Huai firmly cleared the relationship. "I am Mr. Luo's... distant relative, and also Sister Hong's distant relative." 【95

Qin Huai felt he still had to use the title of a distant relative; he didn't want to explain to Dean Qu why he had to accompany Luo Jun to the hospital for physical therapy.

Dean Qu understood again.

"Our Jingjing doesn't have many friends. I was so happy when she said a friend wanted to come and volunteer today," Dean Qu said cheerfully. "Jingjing has been introverted and quiet since she was a child, and she doesn't like to talk. When she was little, other children would cry and make a fuss, but she was as quiet as if she were dead. Back then, the childcare worker, Zhang Sao, hadn't retired yet, and she was so scared that she would check several times a day to see if she was still alive."

Qin Huai felt that Dean Qu's way of expressing herself was also quite unique; there might be a reason why she hadn't been able to solicit any donations for so many years.

"If the children in our welfare institute were abandoned from a young age and didn't leave a name, they would take my surname. Seeing that Jingjing was so quiet, I named her Jing. Now that I think about it, the name was wrong; I should have named her Nao."

"Jingjing has been burying her head in books for so many years and doesn't make friends. I initially thought that after she started working, she would surely become friends with her colleagues, but it turned out her relationship with her patients was even better than with her colleagues. But her patients are all elderly. Seeing her interact with people of our age every day and not making friends her own age, I'm afraid she'll turn into one of those psychopathic killers you see in TV dramas."

Qin Huai:...

Dean Qu, every sentence you say is so hard to respond to.

"It's a good thing she has a friend her own age like Xiao Qin; I feel much more at ease," Dean Qu said, her face full of relief.

Qin Huai struggled to grasp the information within Dean Qu's information-less words: "Did Dr. Qu say I am her friend?"

"Yes, Xiao Qu said her friend was coming over to help volunteer this morning."

Qin Huai nodded, which meant that in Qu Jing's heart, he was already a friend.

But this friend didn't carry enough weight, or rather, the friend and the snacks combined didn't carry enough weight to give her the motivation to travel far to buy snacks.

Qin Huai looked at Dean Qu.

Dean Qu:?

"Dean Qu." Qin Huai suddenly thought of a shortcut to complete the task. "Are you and Dr. Qu close?"

"Jingjing is my daughter," Dean Qu said, looking proud.

"Then can I entrust you with a task?"

"What is it?" Dean Qu asked.

"I have a friend who lives in the same residential complex as me and often eats at the community canteen I run."

"Because of the nature of his work, he met Dr. Qu during a charity event. He has a very good impression of Dr. Qu, but she seems a bit unapproachable and is a slow-to-warm-up person, and he can't find an opportunity or excuse to talk to her."

"It just so happens that Dr. Qu occasionally comes to my canteen to buy snacks during this period, so he stays in the canteen waiting for her to come over so he can chat with her for a bit."

"But Dr. Qu comes too infrequently, and there has been no progress between the two of them."

"Then what should we do?" Dean Qu was a bit anxious. "Why are young men nowadays so passive? When I was young, if a young man liked a girl, he would confess directly. If he didn't confess, how would the girl know?"

"Dean Qu, please keep your voice down."

"Oh, oh, oh." Dean Qu not only lowered her voice but also bent her waist, just like an underground operative meeting to exchange passwords.

"So we have to create opportunities. Can you help me persuade Dr. Qu to come to my canteen to buy snacks more often, preferably every day? Just say that my canteen's business is not good, and ask her to take care of my business for the sake of being friends, so I can earn a little bit too."

Dean Qu:...

Dean Qu didn't understand, but she chose to respect it.

Dean Qu hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I'll persuade Jingjing." "I'll tell her to buy more. Xiao Qin, you help to play matchmaker."

"You can rest assured!" Qin Huai said with a sincere face.

Ouyang, I'm sorry.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Anyway, Dean Qu doesn't know exactly which one it is, so you'll just have to sacrifice yourself and be a temporary actor!

During the gap in kneading the dough, Qin Huai took out his phone and sent a text message to Ouyang.

Qin Huai: What snacks do you want to eat tomorrow?

Ouyang:?

Ouyang: Can I eat anything?

Ouyang: Did Luo Luo, did you take your brother's phone?

Qin Huai: Did Luo Luo is at home doing her homework; how could she get my phone? Hongjie and I are volunteering at the welfare institute.

Ouyang:! I want to eat crab shell yellow, four-happiness dumplings, shaobing, white jade frost cakes, mung bean ice cakes, elm bark steamed buns, locust flower steamed buns, and three bags of fermented rice steamed buns!

Qin Huai, holding the phone:...

Can you even eat that many steamed buns?

Ouyang: I'll take a bag back for my mom, and I'll definitely be able to swipe the card I didn't manage to swipe at the massage parlor last time!

Qin Huai: Fine, I'll make them all, and I'll throw in a dream-fulfilling shaobing for you.

Ouyang:!!!

Ouyang, lying on the sofa at home scrolling through short videos, felt that he might have traveled to a parallel world.

Could it be that in a parallel world, his parents adopted Qin Huai when they went to Guangdong Province for a trip?!

Yay!

According to the menu Ouyang sent, Qin Huai sent a message to Chen An, telling him to prepare the ingredients that could be prepped when he came to work tomorrow morning.

Chen An replied almost instantly, indicating no problem.

For the remaining time, Qin Huai worked hard to knead the dough and mix the filling. With everyone's efforts, they managed to wrap two weeks' worth of steamed buns for the welfare institute in one afternoon.

The children were so reluctant to see Qin Huai leave. A little boy with a slight limp even tugged at Qin Huai's clothes and asked him when "Diced Diced Baozi Brother" would come again.

Qin Huai really wanted to say his surname was Qin.

But it didn't matter; he was already used to it. Because Qin Huai knew very well that if he came a few more times, all the children would think his surname was Bao.

If he wrapped dumplings a few times, he would likely be surnamed Jiao.

Qin Huai drove on the return trip.

Everyone was worried about letting Chen Huihong drive, fearing she would take the wrong road again.

When they were only 10 minutes away from the Yunzhong residential complex, the game notification sound rang in Qin Huai's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the side quest 【Qu Jing's Troubles】. Obtained quest rewards: 【Qu Jing's Affirmation】, 【A Segment of Luo Jun's Memory】."

Qin Huai, who had already completed many quests, said calmly: "I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news here. Mr. Luo, which one would you like to hear first?"

Luo Jun, who was still sitting in the passenger seat, said: "The bad news."

"Let's hear the good news first; the side quest is completed."

Luo Jun immediately turned his head to look at Qin Huai: "You chatted with Qu Jing for just a few sentences today and became friends?"

The implication was: Kid, were you slacking off and not chatting seriously the whole time?

"No, I used a bit of a shortcut to trick Dean Qu into persuading Qu Jing to come to the canteen to spend money every day," Qin Huai said. "But I think we still need to continue building favorability; it's more convenient for carrying out subsequent tasks."

There must still be side quests on Qu Jing that hadn't been uncovered.

"Look, I said it, Xiao Qin is good at tricking people!" Chen Huihong said happily.

Qin Huai:...

"What's the bad news?" Luo Jun asked. "You triggered my side quest and found out it couldn't be completed?"

"Not quite," Qin Huai said. "The bad news is that the reward for this side quest is your memory."

Luo Jun:???

"Considering I know nothing about your past, do you have a rough assessment of the first segment of memory I can see? Can you give me a little background information?"

"Then when the car gets back, I'll go directly to your house to watch the memory."

Luo Jun:...

For some reason, Luo Jun felt like he wanted to breathe fire again.

This time, he not only wanted to burn Qin Huai to death but also wanted to burn himself to death along with him.

Tired, let's destroy everything, let's be reincarnated.
