A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

He emphasized it again, leaving Lin Zheng speechless.

This guy was just saying he wanted to be a strategist, and now the strategist has become a rival?

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Chen Hao quickly went to open it and found a strange man with a backpack. He looked to be in his late twenties, somewhat mature, like an older senior.

Holding a school map, he barged in and said, "Oh, hello everyone, I'm the instructor for this summer camp, the administrator in the summer camp QQ group. My surname is Jiao, you can call me Brother Jiao."

"Huh? Wait, Brother Jiao, what did you say your surname is?" Lin Zheng suddenly interrupted him and asked.

My surname is Jiao...

Instructor Jiao suddenly realized what was happening, raised her chin, and gave Lin Zheng, who was sitting on the stool, trying to suppress his laughter with ill intent.

A little joke brought the two of them much closer.

"You're something else, kid!"

Alright, I don't have time to chat with you guys anymore. If you have any questions or difficulties in life, feel free to tell me, and I'll try my best to help you solve them.

Oh, right, I'm mainly here tonight to say hello and get to know you all, and also to let you know that class is in room 506 of Changhe Building tomorrow morning.

As Jiao spoke, he spread the map on Lin Zheng's table and pointed to the area where Changhe Building was located.

Lin Zheng looked around and realized that it was very close to the bus stop.

Wow! That's really far.

"Brother Jiao, tell me what our summer camp mainly involves?"

He then asked.

It seems that Director Jiao has already discussed this issue with many people, so his answer was completely mechanical and required no thought.

"Okay, our summer camp is basically to let everyone experience university life in advance. It mainly involves some lectures, competitions and exams, and visits to some of the school's professional research labs and the like."

If you take the bus, you should notice that there is a factory on our campus, right?

That's the factory where engineering students participate in metalworking internships. We'll also go inside for a visit and even try out some of the projects that everyone can do.

......"

He said a lot, but it was very clear that it was about experiencing university life in advance, and that he would also give scores to the students who participated.

Those who perform exceptionally well may be admitted through special admission to Jiangcheng University.

Of course, this special admission is only open to students who have finished their second year of high school and are about to enter their third year.

Older graduates like Lin Zheng, who only graduated from high school, are not eligible.

Therefore, his only purpose in attending the summer camp was to experience university life in advance.

"Can we withdraw from summer camp halfway through?"

Lin Zheng continued to inquire.

"Quit halfway through?"

Instructor Jiao looked at Lin Zheng with a puzzled expression; it was the first time he had ever heard a student ask such an outrageous question.

He continued, "If you quit halfway through, you won't get any points! It's like you participated for nothing."

"It's okay, I've already finished my college entrance exam, I'm just here to experience it," Lin Zheng quickly replied.

"Oh, so the college entrance exam is over. That's right. You two must have both finished the college entrance exam to be assigned to the same dormitory."

"So, how did you all do on the exam?" Instructor Jiao asked with a smile.

Lin Zheng glanced at Chen Hao, who had been dumbfounded and honest since Instructor Jiao entered the room.

I don't know if it's an act or if I really act like this in front of strangers.

"You did alright on the test, above 680."

Seeing that Chen Hao didn't respond, Lin Zheng had no choice but to answer the instructor's question himself.

"Holy crap! 680 or higher! Why did you even apply to Jiangcheng University's summer camp? Wouldn't it have been better to just apply to Tsinghua or Peking University's summer camps?"

Chen Hao was startled by the score Lin Zheng gave him and immediately snapped out of his stunned state.

"I'm quite drawn to the Jiangnan region and want to see its scenery. Besides, Jiangcheng University is pretty good, isn't it?"

Lin Zheng smiled gently.

With this answer, Director Jiao's impression of him immediately improved.

He immediately smiled and gave Lin Zheng a thumbs up: "Then you don't need to quit. It's fine to just play around here. If you want to do summer work, there are plenty of job opportunities in Jiangcheng, and the wages are high."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I'm currently working as an acting manager at a bar near my home. I've asked the boss for a leave of absence, so I can probably only participate for about ten days before I have to go back."

Lin Zheng said, pretending to be calm and composed.

"What?! A bar, acting manager?"

Upon hearing this, both Chen Hao and his advisor were shocked and dumbfounded.

The word "bar" itself has nothing to do with ordinary people who don't have money.

90%, or even 95%, of people have probably never been to a bar.

Suddenly a high school graduate tells you that he is currently working as an acting manager at a bar.

Are you completely bewildered?

How much does your boss pay you per month?

It was Jiao, who had already entered the workforce and started earning money, who was more sensitive to money. He couldn't contain his curiosity and immediately asked.

"emmm......"

Lin Zheng didn't know what to say, because Duan tide really hadn't told him how much money she would give him each month!

"He should be able to make at least 20,000 to 30,000 a month." He finally gave a reasonable figure.

Holy crap! Twenty or thirty thousand a month!?

Instructor Jiao gasped, shook his head, and quickly retreated, muttering, "Damn, fine, I can't talk to you anymore, this is too discouraging!"

As he spoke, he gently closed the door.

"Seriously, what's wrong with the counselor? It's only twenty or thirty thousand a month, why is he making such a fuss?"

Lin Zheng was just chatting in a pretentious manner, but he didn't expect his advisor to react so strongly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao curled his lip. Faced with his roommate's pretentious attitude, he was speechless for a moment.

You say you've never been in a relationship, yet all your close friends are incredibly beautiful.

He casually mentioned what he wanted to do, and the result was that he became the bar manager, a position that most people could never achieve in a lifetime.

His monthly income exceeds that of 99% of people nationwide.

That's so damn pretentious!

He couldn't help but say, "How can it not be that bad? It's just that you're too good! Do you know how much the counselor earns in a month?"

How much does a counselor earn in a month?

Lin Zheng scratched his head; he really didn't know.

However, working at a university must pay quite well, right?

"You only make five or six thousand a month, and you don't even have a permanent position. You also have a lot of work to do every day. What do you think he would think if he heard you, a high school graduate, say that you make twenty or thirty thousand a month?"

Oh, by the way, the counselors at our school are at least graduate students from top-tier universities (like the "985 Project"), and they're the kind of candidates who get in through incredibly competitive selection processes.

Chen Hao kept shaking his head as he spoke, unsure of what to say.

"Holy crap! That's terrible. I thought university professors made a lot of money."

Lin Zheng let out a low exclamation, somewhat incredulous.

"It's that bad, but it's not all bad. They're not without room for advancement. They can usually get promoted around the age of thirty."

Overall, it's still too curly.

However, you're wrong about one thing: university advisors aren't teachers, and some university teachers earn a lot while others don't, depending mainly on whether they can secure projects and do freelance work...

As expected of students from coastal areas, they know a lot.

Chen Hao and Lin Zheng chatted for most of the night, mostly about what he knew about university, though a large part of it was about how he would pick up girls.

But it also allowed Lin Zheng to learn more useful knowledge.

This made him sigh repeatedly, as most students in the southwest region only knew how to study, and studied by rote.

Children in coastal areas have access to abundant educational resources. While studying, they also learn more and can more clearly pave the way for their future.

......

The first day of summer camp was destined to be a sleepless night.

Yang Wan and Yang Yue were also lucky enough to be assigned to the same dormitory.

The two of them were also chatting.

"Wanwan, how was the date?"

"It's pretty good, it really makes my heart flutter."

Yang Wan recalled that evening when she was sitting on the electric scooter, nestled in Lin Zheng's arms. The feeling of a cool breeze blowing in front of her, her dress fluttering, while her back was enveloped in warmth was indeed very comfortable.

Another incident occurred at the entrance to the women's dormitory, where he suddenly knelt down and began tying his shoelaces.

She admitted that those two moments really touched her heart, and she even had an urge to hug him tightly.

"Then it's confirmed, you must have fallen for him."

Yang Yue was soaking her feet at her desk, chatting with Yang Wan on her phone in a group chat.

Yang Wan simply smiled and did not respond.

The story goes back to after the college entrance examination. As a complete novice in love, she asked Yang Yue, a "love expert" and "strategist," how to confirm whether she had fallen in love with someone.

Yang Yue told her, "If you don't have an urge to possess the other person for a long time, then you don't like them."

Yang Wan asked, "How exactly can we confirm this?"

The answer I received was: "Reduce your interactions with the other person. For example, don't you two video chat every night?"

Stop, then observe your reaction and see if you feel the urge to continue video chatting with the other person.

If it's there, then I like it; if it's not there, then I don't like it.

Yang Wan did as instructed.

She felt a little uncomfortable on the first day of stopping, and still felt a little uncomfortable on the second day. By the third day, she had gotten used to it and returned to her usual state of contemplating life when she was bored.

After a week, she realized that she probably didn't like Lin Zheng; her initial impulse was probably just curiosity about him.

But Yang Yue said, "It's normal for you to feel this way. You've never been together, and you only met online. How much could you possibly like each other? Let's see after you meet in person."

If you feel an instant spark on your first date, you'll definitely fall for him.

Back to the present, Yang Yue had already soaked her feet.

She walked up to Yang Wan and tossed her a heart rate watch: "Here, put this on first, let me check your heart rate."

Yang Wan roughly guessed what she was going to do, so she obediently put it on.

After finishing, Yang Yue rested her right hand on the desk, and lightly placed her left hand on Yang Wan's chin, gently lifting her chin up, looking down at her with an ambiguous gaze.

Generally speaking, when a girl is teased like this by someone, whether the person is male or female, it should cause quite a stir in her heart.

However, the heart rate monitor on Yang Wan's wrist was unusually stable, showing a reading of only 75.

Seeing this, Yang Yue shrugged and said, "Hey~, wear this watch when you go to see Lin Zheng tomorrow and see what level your heart rate is maintained at."

It's pretty obvious, you like him, you just don't want to admit it.

"Okay, thank you Yueyue."

Yang Wan smiled sweetly, her mind involuntarily conjuring up what she should do when she went to see Lin Zheng tomorrow.

For example... when people gather in the classroom, they definitely need to sit at one table, right?

For example... we definitely have to eat lunch together, right?

What she didn't realize was that even just thinking about it caused her heart rate to reach 90, an increase of 15 points.
