Chapter 174

The next morning.

After having breakfast together, the future father-in-law went to work, while Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan took a taxi to Jiangcheng University.

Outside of special periods, Jiangcheng University allows visitors to enter.

Jiangcheng University is very large; one day is not enough to walk through the entire campus on foot.

There are sightseeing vehicles on campus; for a few yuan, you can ride around to tour the entire Jiangcheng University campus scenery.

The entire campus is nestled against mountains and water, with a beautiful environment and a group of palace-style buildings that combine Chinese and Western elements, simple and elegant, known as the most beautiful university in the country.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan held hands and played together in this picturesque campus.

At noon, they ate at one of the Jiangcheng University canteens; the prices were affordable and the food was delicious, with delicacies from all over the country to be found there.

Afterward, they played until evening, when the future father-in-law drove to the school gate to pick them up.

"Dad, Jiangcheng University is really beautiful, the campus is so big, and we even went to the canteen for lunch, there was so much delicious food..."

In the car, Xia Nuannuan was still savoring the experience, excitedly telling her father about her feelings from the day's outing.

Xia Zhengping saw the smile overflowing on his daughter's face in the rearview mirror and nodded, saying, "After all, it's a university that ranks in the top ten in the country, and the Jiangcheng University campus is even rated as a national 5A-level scenic spot, so the environment is naturally excellent. If you had come two months earlier, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom on campus, that would have been truly lively!"

"Cherry blossoms, how wonderful... we'll be able to see them next year!"

Xia Nuannuan's full anticipation was written all over her face.

"Yes."

Xia Zhengping smiled and said, "Let's go eat first. What do you want to eat?"

"Qin Tian, what do you want to eat?"

Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian with an inquiring gaze.

Then, noticing what he was about to say, she immediately added, "You are not allowed to say 'whatever'!"

"But I really don't know what's good to eat. Uncle Xia, you must know, you arrange it!"

Qin Tian gave a helpless, bitter smile and very cleverly returned this difficult problem to his future father-in-law.

"Alright then, let me think."

Xia Zhengping agreed with a smile.

Afterward, the three of them arrived at a restaurant with very good business; the restaurant focused on local cuisine, and the signature dish was lotus root and pork rib soup.

After they were full, Xia Zhengping drove them to the train station.

After saying goodbye to Xia Zhengping, the two entered the train station and soon boarded the train back to Yucheng.

……

……

The second day after returning to Yucheng was the opening day of Tianming Internet Cafe.

Qin Tian was no longer in Jiangcheng, and since he had handed everything over to Zhao Mingyuan, he felt a bit guilty about being a hands-off manager, so he seized the time to tinker with the game competition activity plan.

From the promotion to the specific processes and steps of holding the event, the prize money, the competition format, and the entry requirements, etc., everything was organized in detail and clearly in a document.

At the same time, Qin Tian transferred another 500,000 from the 800,000 he earned from the clothing design drawings into his stock investment account.

The remaining 300,000 was transferred directly by Qin Tian into his mother's bank card as capital for her to open a clothing store.

Added to his mother's own savings, it was nearly 400,000 in funds.

Of course, she wouldn't need that much money, but since it was his mother's first time doing business, having more money on the books would give her more confidence.

Two days later, Tang Xiuxia officially signed the contract and rented the shop she had been eyeing.

It was located in the women's clothing section on the third floor of the mall; you took the escalator to the third floor, and it was right at the top of the stairs.

The geographical location could be said to be very good, and in terms of price, his mother's negotiation and maneuvering over so many days had also had an effect.

The rent had been negotiated very low, to a degree that even surprised Qin Tian, so he had his mother rent it for five years directly.

Afterward, Qin Tian went to Zhang Peng's house for a meal, drank two glasses of wine with Zhang's father, and the matter of the renovation was settled.

Zhang Peng's father happened to be in this line of work.

Qin Tian and his mother were very reassured to leave it to Uncle Zhang to be in charge.

As for the renovation plan, Qin Tian had long since prepared it; he took Uncle Zhang to the shop on the third floor of the mall that had already been rented and explained his requirements.

Uncle Zhang patted his chest on the spot and guaranteed that he would definitely handle it perfectly for him in the shortest time according to his requirements.

Qin Tian didn't need to worry about the shop renovation; he left it to his mother to keep an eye on it herself.

After sending the game competition activity plan to Zhao Mingyuan, Qin Tian became idle again.

Plus, the weather was starting to get hot, so he was too lazy to go out; basically, he just stayed at home researching the stock market, making money steadily, and playing games with Xia Nuannuan when he had nothing to do.

The opening of Tianming Internet Cafe was also very successful; even though the game competition activity hadn't started yet, the internet cafe's location and grade were there, and since opening, the number of registered members had been growing daily, and business was quite good.

In his rather leisurely daily life, time passed very quickly.

According to previous years, college entrance examination scores generally come out around the 25th.

After the 20th, the high school graduates, who had already gone almost crazy playing, finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the college entrance examination.

The tension that had disappeared for a long time once again lingered in the hearts of all the candidates.

The Penguin groups of various classes, the study groups among small circles, etc., all became more active.

They shifted from discussing where to travel and which games were fun to topics like exam scores and filling out applications.

By the 24th, starting from eight in the morning, the messages in the class group Qin Tian was in never stopped.

In the afternoon, Xia Nuannuan, who was also starting to get nervous, sent a message in their small study group, suggesting that everyone go out for a meal and get together, otherwise, in this atmosphere, time was a bit too hard to pass.

Everyone was obviously guarding their computers or mobile phones, and after the message was sent, everyone bubbled up one after another.

Zhang Dashuai: "Agreed, agreed. I can't even play games anymore, just waiting for midnight to squeeze onto the website to check scores."

Liao Juan: "Last time it was the class monitor who treated us, this time I'll do it!"

Mu Nan: "Same old place?"

Tian Jiajia: "Gogogo, I've been cooped up at home for a few days, I'm almost growing mold. Nuannuan, I love you!"

Su Yan: "I haven't treated everyone yet either. I'm going to be sponging a meal again today, I feel so embarrassed!"

Cui Ying: "Since this morning, I've been lurking in the class group, I feel so nervous!"

Qiu Man: "Definitely. If there are no accidents tonight, I'm afraid it'll be hard for anyone to sleep. At midnight, the score-checking website will definitely be crushed."

Tian Jiajia: "What about the male god? Why hasn't my male god bubbled up? Nuannuan, are you being lovey-dovey with him?"

Xia Nuannuan: "No, I haven't been out for a few days either."

Zhang Dashuai: "No wonder then. So the dinner was just an excuse. Brother Tian, what's going on with you? Come out and get scolded?"

Qin Tian had just finished browsing a piece of financial news and happened to see this message, so he hurriedly typed a reply.

"Grandpa Zhang, you haven't been beaten in a few days, so your bones are getting a bit brittle, right?"

After this message was sent, everyone in the group was amused and sent messages and memes in agreement.
