Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 708 Aren't you going to thank Fairy Zixia?!

"Isn't this great? Why are you sighing?"

“The gap between me and her is too big…” Cao Shuang leaned back on Lu Yuanqiu’s chair with her arms down. Bai Qingxia looked back and noticed that Cao Shuang’s eyes also revealed a hint of confusion.

"The gap?" Lu Yuanqiu chuckled. "What does the difference between schools matter? You still graduated with a bachelor's degree. At worst, you can go for a master's degree to make your second degree look better."

Cao Shuang picked at his elbow and said to himself, "Graduate school? Forget it, I'm just not cut out for it. I haven't been focused on my studies at all these past few years."

"Mainly because... a few days ago I happened to see Ruan Yueru's father picking her up in a BMW 5 Series."

In Lu Yuanqiu's eyes, the BMW 5 Series wasn't actually that expensive, but in 2013 it was no longer something an average family could afford. Lu Yuanqiu turned around and saw Cao Shuang give him a dry laugh before sitting back down in his seat, seemingly not wanting Lu Yuanqiu to see too much of the inferiority and helplessness in his smile.

Bai Qingxia roughly understood what Cao Shuang meant, and she turned around, realizing that she rarely empathized with Cao Shuang on the same issue.

"Uh...you're quite the hidden gem. Turns out you're a little rich woman. Before, when we went to Zhucheng, she acted like a country bumpkin, exclaiming 'Wow' at everything she saw?" Lu Yuanqiu said through the gap in the chair.

Cao Shuang was a little embarrassed: "Maybe it's because I acted like a country bumpkin first... and then she followed suit. Anyway, her family must be rich. When she sent me selfies from home, I could see that the background was her big apartment."

Every word in those words seemed to be linked to feelings of inferiority.

Cao Shuang has only one mother who is chronically ill. He has no house in Lucheng and can only rely on his savings from his early years to cover his living expenses, but his savings are almost gone.

If it weren't for his mother's crafts skills and his disability certificate, Cao Shuang wouldn't have been able to earn extra money on his own, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to afford to go to university.

Therefore, Cao Shuang would feel extremely guilty whenever she didn't study hard during her university years.

Lu Yuanqiu suddenly didn't know what to say.

Indeed, high school youth is truly untainted by material desires, a completely pure youth. University youth, on the other hand, gradually tends to lean towards reality. Cao Shuang is the same, and so is Zhong Jincheng.

Only Lu Yuanqiu and Zheng Yifeng were enjoying their youth without any scruples; in other words, only Lu Yuanqiu himself was enjoying it without any scruples.

"Would you like to open a branch of Xia Yiwan Noodles at the university?" Bai Qingxia suddenly asked Cao Shuang through the gap in the chair.

Cao Shuang was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Yes! I really want to!"

Lu Yuanqiu: "Aren't you going to thank your sister-in-law?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law! Thank you, sister-in-law!" Cao Shuang was extremely excited.

Bai Qingxia glared at Lu Yuanqiu, then added to Cao Shuang, "But we'll split the profits 50/50. I'll cover the initial funding needs, which is like me wanting to open a branch at the university, and you'll be in charge."

Taking the opportunity, Lu Yuanqiu buried his head in Bai Qingxia's arms and rubbed against her, exclaiming, "My Xiaxia! Not only is she a business savvy, but she's also so understanding! And so beautiful, gentle, and considerate—"

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Qingxia pushed his cheek aside, interrupting his spellcasting.

Cao Shuang nodded: "A 50/50 split? A 20/80 split is fine too!"

Bai Qingxia had witnessed firsthand how popular Xia Yiwanmian was at Zhuhai University, and he figured the result would be the same at the Polytechnic University. A score of 20/80 would definitely be a good income.

Cao Shuang couldn't even imagine how much Bai Qingxia had earned so far.

She is truly a capable girl. She did not rely entirely on Brother Qiu and reversed her fate with her own hands.

Bai Qingxia smiled and said, "Let's split it 50/50."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Aren't you going to thank Fairy Zixia?"

"Thank you, Fairy Zixia!"

The process of opening branch stores at the university was entirely left to Cao Shuang. Bai Qingxia provided whatever funds were needed initially, which made Lu Yuanqiu curious about how much of her savings she had accumulated. The confidence with which she said "give money" was remarkable. (Big Ben Milk Tea Shop)

“Last month’s turnover was 28643,” Zhong Jincheng said to Luo Wei after finishing the calculations.

"It was a bit worse than I expected."

Luo Wei walked over and encouraged her, "That's already amazing. It's many, many, many times more than my internship salary."

She spread her arms wide, using an exaggerated gesture to describe it.

Zhong Jincheng shook his head again: "We are not Bai Qingxia after all. We have no advantage in terms of taste. We can only rely on our cleverness. I just posted an announcement in the group saying that the comic will start serialization this month. I don't know if the sales will change much."

The group he mentioned was created last month and is called "Big Ben Milk Tea Comic Update Urging Group".

The group currently has only 152 members. Most of the members are loyal fans of Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia, and others. They are not here for milk tea. Some of the members have never even been to the store. They joined the group simply to have a chance to get up close and personal with these popular students on campus.

Zhong Jincheng was being tagged and urged every day, not to update the comics, but to get Bai Qingxia to join the group as soon as possible.

Zhong Jincheng originally wanted to invite Bai Qingxia directly, but after Luo Wei reminded him, he felt that he couldn't spoil this group too much, so he said that once the number of people in the group exceeded two hundred, he would invite "Qiu" first.

Once the number of members in the group exceeds 250, a "peak" will be invited.

And so on.

Bai Qingxia, being the most popular choice, was definitely placed last. Zhong Jincheng decided that once the group had more than a thousand members, he would invite "Xia" in.

Judging from the current trend, Lu Yuanqiu will soon be joining the group.

Women's Bedroom 306.

Wei Zhiyu walked into the dormitory, glanced at the pile of underwear and bras drying on the balcony, and said to the other three, "You guys still dare to hang your underwear and bras on the balcony?"

Chi Caocao: "What's wrong?"

Wei Zhiyu: "Didn't you see the forum? Recently, several girls' dorm rooms on the second floor have had their underwear stolen. Our H building's balcony is right in a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, and those perverts can just hook it with a long pole."

Bai Qingxia was sitting at the table exchanging messages with Lu Yuanqiu when she heard this and looked towards the balcony.

Those light-colored panties with lace trim were all hers.

Ah Zhen: "But...we're on the third floor."

"So what if it's the third floor? It's not like we can't climb up. Bai Qingxia is so pretty, who knows if some pervert will try to steal her underwear in all sorts of ways."

Bai Qingxia suddenly widened her eyes.

Ah Zhen suddenly wondered, "What if someone mistakes my underwear for Bai Qingxia's underwear?"

Wei Zhiyu: "...Ah Zhen, what are you so excited about?"

"I'm not excited, it just seems like this is the only chance I'll ever have to be close to a guy."

"Ah Zhen, please don't do this, you're scaring me..."

Listening to their conversation, Bai Qingxia bit her lip, her expression complicated. Lu Yuanqiu's messages were still ringing on her phone. Bai Qingxia got up and prepared to put her underwear away.

　Sigh, the fever should be gone, but I feel so groggy and just want to sleep. But as soon as I lie down, I get a dry cough. This month is just pure Mercury retrograde. I have to get up early tomorrow to handle my dad's referral paperwork. I really don't want to write all day like this. I guess I can only catch up on one chapter. I still can't post updates after midnight tonight, so don't wait up, everyone. Go to sleep first, and see if I can update in the afternoon after the referral paperwork is completed tomorrow morning.
