Chapter 59 Jiang Sifan: Wen Wan, are you interested in starting a business?
Since Huang Hui wanted to go shopping, the two eventually agreed to meet at Wanda Plaza.
Jiang Sifan arrived at the entrance of Wanda Plaza first and waited there early.
Before long, he saw Huang Hui walking over, dressed in a flamboyant manner.
As Huang Hui walked over, she immediately reached out to hug him, saying, "Baby, I'm here."
It's clear she's in a good mood.
But Jiang Sifan immediately noticed the bag Huang Hui was carrying on her shoulder.
I've never carried this bag before.
Could it be the designer handbag that Hu Ke mentioned?
"Baby, how long have you been waiting?" Huang Hui asked, linking her arm with his.
Jiang Sifan replied, "It wasn't long; you arrived after a short wait."
"Hehe, I specially took a Didi to come here so you could see me sooner," Huang Hui said deliberately. "See how good I am to you?"
Jiang Sifan smiled after hearing this, then deliberately looked at the bag and asked, "Did you buy a new bag?"
"Huh?" Huang Hui was surprised that Jiang Sifan had noticed. She pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, I bought it on Pinduoduo."
"Did you buy it on Pinduoduo? I feel like the leather is really nice, it must have been expensive," Jiang Sifan asked.
"It's not expensive." Huang Hui pulled her bag back a little. "Oh, you're such a straight man, you wouldn't understand. There are lots of these kinds of bags on Pinduoduo."
After hearing this, Jiang Sifan did not immediately mention what Hu Ke had told him.
The two then entered the mall together.
After much deliberation, Huang Hui finally decided to eat coconut chicken.
"I'm treating you to dinner today, baby. Order whatever you like," Huang Hui said, handing the menu to Jiang Sifan.
Jiang Sifan took the menu; to him, it didn't really matter what he ate.
Even if we eat at a street food stall or a snack street, as long as the food tastes good, that's fine.
So he glanced at the menu, pointed to the signboard, and said, "Let's have a coconut chicken then, nothing else."
"Okay." Huang Hui called to the waiter, pointing to the menu, "Then give us a small portion of coconut chicken."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After hearing this, Jiang Sifan asked, "Is the small portion of coconut chicken enough for the two of us?"
"That's enough to eat." Huang Hui nodded. "I'm not hungry yet, I don't want to eat that much."
"Okay." Jiang Sifan took a sip of tea, thinking of an excuse to ask about the phone and bag.
Just then, Huang Hui took out her phone and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).
Jiang Sifan then seized the opportunity to say, "That's strange. Hu Ke told me I bought you an iPhone, but I didn't buy one for you. Did you buy one yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Hui was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.
She immediately stammered, "Um... actually, I bought it. I just wanted to be low-key but also highlight how good you are to me, so I said you bought it for me, um, you bought it for me."
Jiang Sifan continued, puzzled, "Then why are you still using this old phone? Why don't you take out a new one?"
"Oh dear, I was afraid you'd think I was wasting money. Actually, this iPhone was a gift from my grandma. I didn't take it out because I was afraid you'd overthink it," Huang Hui stammered.
Seeing that Jiang Sifan wanted to ask something more, she immediately interrupted, "Okay, I'll bring my iPhone to show you next time I go out. Actually, there's nothing much to see. I think it's better to use an Android phone. I'm not used to it. There's no signal in the elevator."
Actually, Jiang Sifan didn't want to look at her iPhone.
I just want to figure out the truth behind this.
Although Huang Hui's explanation was logical and reasonable, he still felt that something was off.
night.
After dinner.
Huang Hui expressed her desire to go for a walk and date.
But Jiang Sifan said, "I need to work on that business plan tonight, so I probably won't be able to stay with you. I need to go to the library."
"Okay." This time, Huang Hui didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she was pleased: "Honestly, I think my boyfriend is really amazing. While other people were having fun during their freshman year, you were working hard to start a business and make money."
She took Jiang Sifan's hand, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
She then waved her hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to see me off. I can go back to my dorm by myself."
Jiang Sifan watched her departing figure, then touched the spot where she had just been kissed, and suddenly realized that she didn't feel as excited as she used to when they kissed.
He always felt that Huang Hui was hiding something from him.
At least when it comes to Apple phones and bags.
However, Jiang Sifan couldn't worry about that at the moment; he had to focus all his energy on this project proposal.
I paid a full 10,000 yuan in start-up capital. If the business fails, I don't know how I'll repay the nearly 7,000 yuan loan.
So Jiang Sifan immediately ran to the library and began to study.
Huang Hui returned to her dormitory, still cursing.
She pushed open the door and yelled at Hu Ke, who was applying a face mask, "Hu Ke, are you out of your mind? Why did you suddenly start talking to my boyfriend about iPhones and bags?"
Hu Ke feigned innocence and said, "What? What happened? Didn't you say before that these were all gifts from him? Then I asked him where he bought that bag? I wanted to buy one too, but you wouldn't tell me."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just trying to sow discord between me and my boyfriend. Everyone knows you like handsome guys. You don't have any handsome guys around you, so you're trying to steal my boyfriend, right?!" Huang Hui said angrily.
Hu Ke simply ripped off her face mask, put her hands on her hips, and said, "I have to say, you're being ridiculous. Putting aside whether your boyfriend is handsome or not, do you think I'm the kind of person who steals my roommate's boyfriend? Yesterday, I even went out of my way to get your breakfast from your boyfriend at the dorm entrance. You're really biting the hand that feeds you! What? Weren't those iPhones and bags gifts from your boyfriend? Which simp gave them to you?"
"You!..." Huang Hui was speechless for a moment, so she could only say harshly, "In short, stay away from my boyfriend, or we won't even be roommates anymore."
After saying that, she went into the bathroom.
Hu Ke, looking completely indifferent, muttered to herself, "We can't even be roommates. Who would want to be your roommate? You're such a hypocrite."
Chen Kailin, who was standing nearby, was frightened. She could only whisper and persuade her, "Coco, don't be angry. Maybe Huihui is in a bad mood."
"Just because she's in a bad mood doesn't mean she can throw tantrums!" Hu Ke raised her voice even louder. "So, if I'm in a bad mood, I can slander other people too?"
Hiding in the bathroom, Huang Hui clenched her fists and gritted her teeth...
Of course, Jiang Sifan had no idea what was happening in the girls' dormitory.
He spent two full hours thoroughly studying the project proposal.
Although I understand the process, it is indeed difficult to put it into practice.
For example, how should we communicate with the business owners?
For example, how to strengthen their awareness of paying taxes.
These are all difficult problems.
Jiang Sifan also suddenly felt a headache coming on, thinking that she still needed to find someone to help her.
Since Huang Hui only ordered a small portion of coconut chicken, he wasn't very full.
So I had no choice but to try my luck at the cafeteria.
It's almost closing time now, and every window has sold out of late-night snacks.
Jiang Sifan thought of Wen Wan at window number 12, so he went to the window to look for her.
At this moment, Wen Wan was tidying up the table.
"Gentle and graceful."
She heard someone shout and looked up.
When she saw Jiang Sifan, her face flushed slightly and she said, "Class monitor."
"Is there any food left?" Jiang Sifan asked with an embarrassed smile. "I'm late, it seems like every window is empty."
"I've saved three buns, would you like some?" Wen Wan said, taking three buns out of the bag, and explained beforehand, "I've already paid for these three buns, so you can eat them without worry."
"No, that won't do. This is your midnight snack. I can't eat it. I'll go to the convenience store and buy instant noodles instead," Jiang Sifan refused.
Seeing that Jiang Sifan was about to leave, Wen Wan immediately came out of the window and said, "It's okay. I usually only need one for a late-night snack. It's just that I was thinking that I have to go to class at 8 a.m. tomorrow, so I can eat the other two buns during class..."
"How about this, I'll eat two, and then I'll treat you to breakfast tomorrow morning?" Jiang Sifan suggested.
Wen Wan shook her head habitually at first, but Jiang Sifan interrupted her in advance, saying, "I can't always owe you favors, I have to treat you this time too."
After hesitating for two seconds, she finally nodded and said shyly, "Okay, thank you, class monitor."
"Don't mention it, I should be thanking you." Jiang Sifan said, taking the steamed bun she handed him. The next second, he thought of something and asked, "By the way, Wen Wan, are you interested in starting a business? I need some help right now, and I can pay you."
