Chapter 153: Rowing without oars, relying entirely on the waves
Chen Jianghe's original plan was to bring his aunt to the staff dormitory to meet Xu Zhixi, get acquainted with her, and then take her to CUHK to meet Jiang Yishu.
As a result, Zheng Jiaxin and Teacher Xu hit it off immediately. They sat on the sofa and had a great chat. Chen Jianghe smoked a few cigarettes alone on the balcony. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he turned around and looked at her.
Zheng Jiaxin glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, secretly laughing in her heart, but she stood up and said goodbye naturally: "It's getting late, I should go back to school."
"Hey little brat, do you want to stay here with your girlfriend or take me out to catch a ride?" Zheng Jiaxin asked Chen Jianghe with a smile.
"Of course I'm staying here with my girlfriend."
Chen Jianghe said without hesitation, waving his hand and urging, "Aunt, hurry up and leave. It's too late to catch the bus."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiaxin rolled up her sleeves and walked over, ready to teach this brat who valued women over his aunt a lesson.
Chen Jianghe ran away like a loach, and Zheng Jiaxin failed to catch him several times.
After finally meeting him, he ran behind Xu Zhixi and hugged Teacher Xu to act as a shield.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Xu Zhixi raised her hand and slapped Chen Jianghe's claws away: "It's so late, are you sure you can let your aunt take a ride back alone?"
"How about you sleep here with me tonight?" Xu Zhixi said to Zheng Jiaxin.
Just as Zheng Jiaxin was about to nod in agreement, Chen Jianghe raised his hand to interrupt her: "No, absolutely not, I haven't slept with her yet, auntie, you can't take over my place."
Zheng Jiaxin was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Xu Zhixi blushed so much. This bastard dared to say anything in front of his aunt.
Zheng Jiaxin was angry, but seeing Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi getting along so well, she was happy for him. She smiled and said, "I'm going back. I'll come to see you next time."
"I send you."
This time, Xu Zhixi and Chen Jianghe spoke in unison.
"Zhixi, please stay in the dormitory. I feel a little stressed walking with two beautiful girls at the same time."
Chen Jianghe smiled innocently, then quickly walked up to his aunt and gave her a look.
Zheng Jiaxin understood, waved goodbye to Xu Zhixi, and followed Chen Jianghe out of the staff dormitory building.
All the way to the main entrance of the school, Zheng Jiaxin remained silent.
After walking a distance away from the door, she suddenly turned around and stared at Chen Jianghe.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jianghe looked at his aunt calmly.
"When you were a child, you always liked to collect beautiful cards, stamps, marbles and other items. Now that you have grown up, have you started collecting beautiful women?" Zheng Jiaxin asked him softly.
"No." Chen Jianghe shook his head and said seriously, "I am collecting love."
When Zheng Jiaxin heard this, her beautiful eyes widened. What a good phrase for collecting love! And I am powerless to refute it?
Chen Jianghe felt relieved when he saw this, and said to his aunt, "Don't think too much. I'll take you to see my first love first, and then go to Gangding tomorrow to buy you a laptop and a mobile phone. How about that?"
"No need." Zheng Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I can earn money to buy it myself."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Chen Jianghe said generously, "I'll pay for the computer and phone first, and you can work hard to pay off the debt later."
Zheng Jiaxin was stunned at first, then stamped her feet: "Humph, I knew you, a stinky boy, weren't so kind."
"Do you regret agreeing to work for me?" Chen Jianghe asked.
Zheng Jiaxin nodded: "Yes, I regret it very much. I feel like I'm on a pirate ship."
"You can regret, but you can't go back on your word."
Chen Jianghe doesn't need oars to row the boat, he just relies on the waves. He patted his butt and walked forward: "Take a taxi to Zhongda and eat something by the way. I haven't even had dinner yet."
"Slap your own butt next time. How disrespectful!" Zheng Jiaxin followed him angrily.
Chen Jianghe didn't take it seriously at all. "You can hit me, but can't I hit you back occasionally? If you want me to "respect the elderly", you have to "love the young" as well."
In the taxi on the way to Zhongda, Chen Jianghe sent a message to Qin Shaohai: "How is the task going?"
Qin Shaohai replied almost immediately: "What mission?"
Chen Jianghe spat, "Are you playing dumb? You won't get any supper tonight. Just ask your roommates to come out and eat and drink with me."
"Hey, don't worry. I've been studying cross-border e-commerce operations every day recently. I can't say I'm proficient in it, but at least I've touched the threshold and mastered the basics."
Qin Shaohai quickly responded correctly: "In addition, my three roommates are quite interested in cross-border e-commerce and would like to do part-time jobs."
"That's more like it." Chen Jianghe replied, "Next time when I ask you something serious, don't play it off."
"I'm on my way to CUHK. It will take me 40 minutes to get there if there's no traffic. If you have nothing to do, go to Lan Kwai Fong and book a private room. Bring your roommates along to make some friends."
"Okay." Qin Shaohai agreed straightforwardly, but he couldn't help but ask one more question: "Isn't it a bit extravagant for a few grown men like us to go to Lan Kwai Fong for a midnight snack?"
"And Jiang Yishu and my aunt." Chen Jianghe replied with an expressionless face.
"Roger that!" Qin Shaohai was so excited that his face rolled as he typed an English sentence on his phone keyboard.
Chen Jianghe took a look at the English message sent by Qin Shaohai, and glanced at his aunt who was sitting next to him and had passed the CET-8 exam: "Hey, little Marco, you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert?"
After sending the message to Qin Shaohai, Chen Jianghe called Jiang Yishu.
"Yishu, I'll come to see you later and take you to meet some friends." Chen Jianghe said.
"Okay." Jiang Yishu agreed happily.
Chen Jianghe originally wanted to ask Jiang Yishu to bring her roommates along, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He had been in a relationship with Yishu for such a long time, but she never mentioned a word to her roommates, which showed that the relationship in the dormitory was not harmonious. There was no need to try to please them.
"I asked you to take some time to learn about cross-border e-commerce. How is your progress?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"I only learned a little bit." Jiang Yishu answered honestly.
"Your little bit is probably my billion bit, which should be enough."
Chen Jianghe has great confidence in Jiang Yishu, and cross-border e-commerce at this stage is far less complicated than in the future. One can learn a lot by registering a personal seller account on the Amazon platform and spending some time to explore it.
After making an appointment with Jiang Yishu to meet at the entrance of Lan Kwai Fong, Chen Jianghe hung up the phone and turned around to find Zheng Jiaxin looking at him strangely.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jianghe touched his face subconsciously: "Is there something on my face?"
"No." Zheng Jiaxin shook her head and said, "When you called just now, your tone was very gentle."
"Really?" Chen Jianghe himself didn't feel anything, and asked casually: "Aunt, do you still remember Jiang Yishu?"
"Remember, when we were in middle school, people always compared me to her, even though she was just a little sister in the same grade as you."
Zheng Jiaxin was talking, and suddenly her eyebrows moved: "Oh, right, I seemed to hear you shouting just now..."
"Yes, it's Jiang Yishu." Chen Jianghe responded with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, you're amazing, you even managed to win over the school beauty." Zheng Jiaxin couldn't help but exclaimed: "If you put the energy you put into dating into studying, you can definitely get into a top university, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Studying requires talent. For an ordinary person like me, the harder I work, the more useless I become. It's better to find another way and work hard to find a top student as my wife."
Chen Jianghe said seriously: "If I can't be someone else's child, I will marry someone else's child."
"Pfft." Zheng Jiaxin was amused by Chen Jianghe's words and surprisingly did not refute him: "Although it sounds a bit like heresy, it does sound somewhat reasonable."
Chen Jianghe looked at his aunt and said, "You smile so beautifully. You should smile more in the future. If you are mean, you will not get married."
"Hmph, I'm only a little bit mean to you. I'm very gentle in front of other people." Zheng Jiaxin snorted.
Chen Jianghe smiled but said nothing. He thought to himself, "I will be your boss from now on. Under the oppression of 996 and 007, do you dare to be mean to me?"
