2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

"You're not coming to my place tonight, are you?"

"I'm not going."

Qin Hanyang shook his head and declined Wang Pengfei's invitation.

"I understand, then you better take precautions."

As someone who's been through it all, Wang Pengfei teased his nephew, then, without giving him a chance to explain, nonchalantly rode off on his motorcycle.

Fortunately, Jiang Nanyue was far away; otherwise, if she had heard it, the situation would have been incredibly awkward.

Qin Hanyang didn't want to go simply because his uncle, a single man, lived in a completely messy house.

In the past, he could only share a bed with two men, and he couldn't sleep well.

"Let's go."

Qin Hanyang and Jiang Nanyue went to redeem their phones together, and then slowly walked back to their apartment complex.

Then, he took the opportunity to thank the latter.

"Thank you for your hard work today, you've been a great help to me."

"I only helped with a tiny, insignificant favor; anyone could have done that."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanyue felt a little embarrassed, then looked at him with surprise, "You really are clever, how did you come up with such an idea?"

"Just thinking about it."

Qin Hanyang gave a casual, perfunctory reply.

But Jiangnan Yue thought he was being modest.

Although she is not short of money, earning more than three thousand yuan a night is something that even some "adults" probably cannot do.

Jiangnan Yue led Qin Hanyang to a tenement building in the community.

As the two walked up the stairs together, perhaps due to the ambiguity of being alone in the confined space, they fell silent for a moment.

Jiangnan Yue suddenly blurted out:

I feel you've changed a lot.

"yes."

"Um......"

Qin Hanyang found it difficult to explain the reason to her.

Jiangnan Yue did not press the matter further.

She felt that Qin Hanyang's changes were simply earth-shattering.

He is less dull and gloomy than before, and more cheerful and mature. He is even more adept at doing everything.

After a brief conversation, the hallway fell silent again.

Jiangnan Yue seemed to realize something and pressed for an answer:

"Where are you going tomorrow? Are you really not going to continue setting up a stall? I feel like it would still be very profitable."

"I need to go to my maternal grandmother's house."

Qin Hanyang didn't elaborate, and went straight to answer her second question, "And tomorrow at Rongcheng Square, there might be a stall exactly like ours, do you believe it or not?"

"Will others follow suit?"

"Who wouldn't be envious of this way of making money? They even lowered the barrier to entry, for example, changing the prize for completing the challenge to a plush toy, and setting the challenge ticket price at five yuan."

"That's a real shame. It would be great if we could have applied for a patent."

Qin Hanyang's explanation was something Jiang Nanyue hadn't expected, and at this moment she was still somewhat indignant on his behalf.

It's as if the fruits of a hard-won revolution have been easily stolen by someone.

"These opportunistic tricks are not worth paying attention to."

Qin Hanyang shook his head, telling Jiang Nanyue not to take it to heart.

If the next plan fails, he really needs to delve into this area for a while and make some money.

After all, he has a lot of "tricks" in his head.

Let alone something as childish as street chess endgame puzzles; he wouldn't even bother with them.

Even the academic superstar Jiang Nanyue, who is right next to him, can be used as material for his writing.

For example, they could organize a "Top Scorer's Study Lecture" and sell "Top Scorer's Notes" along the way.

This thing is essentially sales.

In addition, most high school seniors are now taking extra classes.

If he agrees to give the school a "cut", he can visit three to five schools a week and earn tens of thousands of yuan during the holidays without any problem!

But ultimately speaking...

Qin Hanyang still felt that the money was coming in too slowly!

You even have to figure out how to cultivate various relationships. The practicalities of this are far more complicated than you might imagine, so it should only be considered as a backup plan.

"We're here, let's go in."

In a daze, the two of them walked to the 6th floor.

Jiang Nanyue unlocked the door with her key and invited Qin Hanyang inside.

The residential complex is a housing project funded by the employer for employees' families.

The house has a three-bedroom, one-living room layout, and the interior decoration style is surprisingly European. It is fully equipped with appliances such as a TV and air conditioner.

Judging from the location, floor, and decoration, Jiang Nanyue's family's wealth in this era is evident.

Qin Hanyang asked, "Why are you all alone at home?"

"This is my family's old house. My mother passed away a long time ago, and my father doesn't live here either. He lives in Hongcheng. I live with my maternal grandparents, as you know."

"Oh... I'm sorry."

Qin Hanyang also felt somewhat embarrassed when asked such a sensitive question.

"It's okay. I was too young back then. I can't even remember what my mother looks like now."

Jiangnan Yue spoke calmly, without a trace of sadness on her face.

But for girls, the calmer they are, the more reserved their emotions may be.

Qin Hanyang quickly changed the subject: "How long are you planning to stay in Chengdu?"

"About a month. I'm going to the airport tomorrow to go to South Korea for vision surgery."

After saying that, she pointed to the braces and glasses on her teeth.

This was something she had told Qin Hanyang in advance on the way to the car.

It will take about a month to sort all this out, and she will basically stay here during that time.

Seeing this, Qin Hanyang laughed and said, "Oh no, she's about to become a great beauty. Will she still be able to have fun with me?"

As soon as she said that, Jiang Nanyue's face turned bright red.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Qin Hanyang also realized the inappropriateness of his words.

That was too much flirting!

This quiet girl is too much for me!

"Um... are you going alone?"

"With my aunt."

"Oh...that puts my mind at ease."

Qin Hanyang seized the opportunity to change the subject, thus avoiding an awkward situation for the two of them.

Jiang Nanyue suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, are you still going back to Rongcheng?"

"I don't know, but I guess I should."

"Then I'll give you this."

Jiang Nanyue turned and went back to her bedroom. When she came out again, she had an extra key in her hand, which she then handed to Qin Hanyang.

"I might be staying in Korea for more than a week. If you have nowhere to stay when you come back, you can stay here with me."

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

He was polite in words, but Qin Hanyang had already shamelessly accepted it.

"It's fine, no one lives here anyway."

Jiang Nanyue was also somewhat annoyed at this moment, subconsciously realizing that her behavior was a bit too proactive.

Who would give their house key to a boy?

At that moment, she felt like she had lost her mind!

But she didn't want to dwell on it too much, so she quickly turned around and faced away from Qin Hanyang.

"There are two more bedrooms. Take a look and see which room you'd like to stay in?"

"Can I stay in your room... I'm just kidding."

It was another offhand flirtation, which startled Jiang Nanyue so much that her heart was racing like a rollercoaster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest at any moment.

Fortunately, Qin Hanyang braked in time and added a sentence.

Otherwise, Jiangnan Yue definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Qin Hanyang also stopped joking at the right time.

After all, when a man and a woman are alone under one roof, many things can easily explode.

The remaining rooms are a guest bedroom and a master bedroom.

Qin Hanyang wisely chose the former.

He noticed that the sheets and pillowcases were all new, presumably Jiang Nanyue's work from her time at home that afternoon.

After they washed up separately...

After chatting casually for a few minutes, they each closed their doors and went to sleep.

Jiangnan Yue was still somewhat uneasy when she brought a boy to stay at her home for the first time, and even had trouble falling asleep due to wild thoughts.

Qin Hanyang, exhausted from a long day, went straight to sleep.

Jiang Nanyue's flight was at 10 a.m. the next day. Because she needed to check in at the airport early, she got up at 7 a.m.

Her aunt also arrived downstairs early to pick her up.

Jiang Nanyue originally intended to inform Qin Hanyang, but upon entering the room and seeing Qin Hanyang wearing only underwear, she hurriedly retreated.

Wait until after nine o'clock.

Qin Hanyang only woke up slowly after receiving a call from his uncle, Wang Pengfei.

"Let's go, let's see what's going on with this big client you mentioned. I'll go and check on him."
