You rejected my confession, so I proposed to the mature and sophisticated professor.

Chapter 116 There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever

In the afternoon, Jiang Cheng sprawled on the sofa in Su Qingrou's office, reading a novel.

Ye Lingxi returned after finishing her work outside.

Seeing that only Shen Youqing was in the office, she asked, "Where's Jiang Cheng? I don't see him. Doesn't he like to go to the mall every day and hang out with you?"

Shen Youqing sat in her office chair watching a drama, with a stool next to her waiting to put her feet down, making her long legs look even longer.

She pouted and said, "She wasn't clinging to me, she was clinging to her secretary."

Ye Lingxi chuckled when she saw Shen Youqing's appearance. She walked over and, seeing those long legs, couldn't help but reach out and run her hand down Shen Youqing's thigh to her calf.

What are you doing? It itches.

"Then if Jiang Cheng comes, the itch will stop?"

"If I say another word, I'll kick you out." With no outsiders around, Ye Lingxi was quite relaxed with her two best friends.

He stretched out his foot to kick Ye Lingxi, but Ye Lingxi grabbed his foot.

"It looks really good. Jiangcheng will benefit from this."

"What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense!"

The two started playing around together.

After joking around for a while, Ye Lingxi asked, "I think Jiang Cheng is really great. He seems to like you too. I can see the way he looks at you, like he's going to eat you alive. He's going to study in Shanghai in a few days, and you're going to Shanghai too."

Shen Youqing sat in the chair, but because the stool had been given to Ye Lingxi, she could only tuck her long legs into the office chair as well.

"You know he went to Shanghai, to Shanghai University, but I went to Shanghai as a counselor, a teacher to the students. I'm his teacher, you know that?"

Ye Lingxi was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this question before. She was already very busy with work and hadn't even figured out her own situation yet, so how could she have the mind to think about Shen Youqing?

Upon hearing this, they also noticed the problem.

Shen Youqing wants to become a teacher, and Jiang Cheng is a student. Is there any chance for them to become a teacher?

"Can't you just quit being that lousy teacher? Your family's financial situation isn't so bad as to need a teacher's salary, is it?"

Shen Youqing said as if talking to herself, "I need a job. I'm not used to working in the mall for a while. I still prefer school."

"Then what about you and Jiang Cheng?"

what?

"What do you mean, what about Jiang Cheng and me?" Shen Youqing blushed.

She also realized that, somehow, the conversation had somehow brought her and Jiang Cheng together.

"He's just a little brother to me, okay? Maybe I'll even be his teacher someday, so don't talk nonsense."

Ye Lingxi smiled and didn't continue the topic.

She knew Shen Youqing well; she was naturally aloof and not the shy, timid type of girl.

They won't be shy about matters of the heart.

She even used to think that Shen Youqing might never find a boyfriend in her entire life.

“Sun Chenyang texted me today, asking how you were doing in Yancheng, but I didn’t reply,” Ye Lingxi said, changing the subject.

Shen Youqing said, "He has already arrived in Yancheng and even visited the shopping mall."

what?

Ye Lingxi was surprised.

She also knew Sun Chenyang, after all, this man had been pestering Shen Youqing for many years, and it was with the special permission of her parents, with an imperial decree.

However, she also knew that Shen Youqing disliked this person.

Then Shen Youqing told Ye Lingxi about what happened when Sun Chenyang came to the mall.

Ye Lingxi laughed so hard she was bent over backwards. No wonder he's the man I find charming!

They completely fooled Sun Chenyang!

Ye Lingxi felt that if Jiang Cheng really wanted to win over Shen Youqing, Sun Chenyang would only be able to help him book a room.

……

At 7 p.m., Su Qingrou left work early to go home, saying she needed to get ready because she was tired after a long day at work and hadn't showered yet.

I need to go home and get ready.

Li Minghao and Zheng Junjie haven't closed up shop yet. The blind box business has been booming these days, and they're busy until the mall closes down every day.

However, Li Minghao was exhausted after a long day and couldn't take it anymore, so he handed the stall over to Zheng Junjie and the people he had hired to look after.

He starts by doing the accounting so he can leave earlier and go home to rest.

"Fifty thousand, today's turnover has exceeded fifty thousand, and the stalls downstairs are still open."

"If we wait until closing time, the total sales are estimated to reach 60,000!"

"The new model is indeed very powerful."

In the office, Li Minghao finished calculating the data for his stall and excitedly spoke on the sofa.

"I never expected Jiale to fail so badly. They built it up themselves, and then they withdrew from it and simply stopped doing it."

Upon hearing the sales figures, Ye Lingxi remarked with emotion.

Shen Youqing said, "Didn't you say that Jiale was completely used as a stepping stone for Jiangcheng? What's going on?"

Ye Lingxi nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Qiang was saying yesterday that all the blind box sellers that Jiale had hired before had been poached by Jiang Cheng. Now they've all been taken to Yonghui Mall across the country to sell blind boxes. If you're talking about skill, Jiang Cheng is the best. He trains others and then uses them."

Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa, smiled, and said nothing.

Shen Youqing said, "No wonder headquarters said I have a bonus today, and asked me if I have time to collect the company contribution award at the end of the month, as there is an internal meeting at the end of the month."

Shen Youqing had some concerns before, worrying that giving all the stalls to Jiang Cheng would have a negative impact on the mall.

But so far, all the feedback has been positive.

This struck Shen Youqing as quite amazing. Even though she could see that Jiang Cheng had made all the money, Yonghui Mall still felt that Jiang Cheng's existence was a contribution.

Is this what business calls a win-win situation?

At this moment, Jiang Cheng looked at Li Minghao and asked, "How's the crayfish voucher in the blind box I asked you to put there?"

"Oh, right!" Li Minghao suddenly perked up after being reminded by Jiang Cheng, and said, "The crayfish vouchers were put in yesterday."

"Many people came today specifically for the vouchers. They can get wallets, exchange them for leather shoes, and if they're lucky, they can even win vouchers."

“I saw some people spending money to buy other people’s vouchers, but the price wasn’t high, only five yuan.”

Jiang Cheng nodded; this was an effect he hadn't expected.

His original thought was that as long as blind boxes didn't bring any negative impact, it would be fine, but he didn't expect that there would actually be people who needed them.

This is even better.

I imagine the family business is doing better than before, right?

However, Jiang Cheng didn't have time to go back tonight; he was going to Su Qingrou's house for dinner.

"Tomorrow, you're free tomorrow, right? Come to my house for some crayfish and see how business is."

"Well, I might be going to Shanghai the day after tomorrow," Shen Youqing suddenly said.

The office fell silent instantly...

All good things must come to an end. Shen Youqing is leaving. This goddess who provided venue support for the start of the blind box business is leaving.

Jiangcheng will soon be going to university in Shanghai.

Li Minghao and Zheng Junjie will also go to their respective schools in the south.

Perhaps, only Ye Lingxi from this small team will remain in Yancheng.

Of course, Ye Lingxi might leave too, since Jiangcheng is no longer here, and Ye Lingxi doesn't have any reason to stay in Yancheng.
