Free Web NovelChapter 1307: Chapter 864: New Year’s Eve
Night falls.
After washing up, Jiang Nian went next door to chat. The two girls were looking at that commemorative edition clothing over and over again.
"Is this really the first edition?"
"Yes, but also no," Jiang Nian said, "There was more than one first edition, but there weren’t many."
"It was given to veteran employees as a keepsake. There were only two left, so I brought them back." ƒreewebɳovel.com
This was true; the company gave one to each employee.
Three were left.
One was given to Xu Shuang, though she wouldn’t wear it. She wouldn’t mention it either; the other two were given to Xu Qianqian and the others.
As for everyone else, Jiang Nian had no intention of giving them out.
It’s easy to cause trouble.
Changing the gift is not difficult, considering the meaning of the memento. Counting them up, there’s quite a lot.
For instance, the class monitor’s little snowman. Jiang Nian gave her a mini version made entirely of pure ice.
Handed to her without melting, it also came in a breathable glass box. Kept in the freezer, it can be preserved for a long time.
"Oh oh, I see."
Xu Qianqian wasn’t too keen on it since they spent every day together. It was just for fun rather than for any memorial value.
"This clothing looks..."
She wanted to say it looked ugly but couldn’t bring herself to say it.
"It’s alright."
Song Xiyun, however, carefully put it away, "You’re staying for a few days; you’re not spending long for the New Year either, right?"
"Indeed."
"I have to return by the third day," Jiang Nian had no mind for enjoyment; the more mundane it was, the more cautious he had to be.
Banyu is his stepping stone. After it gets formalized, the plan is to grow big, attract investment, and then sell Banyu.
When the work is done, take the money and leave.
This has happened before; the batch of brand builders in the Taotao system did the same a few years back, transitioning to something else.
With that clean money, the sky is the limit thereafter.
"So urgent?"
"Better to finish early, school’s going to start too," Jiang Nian explained, "Next semester, won’t have to fly back and forth."
"Oh, by the way," Xu Qianqian suddenly said, "there’s one more thing; my dad is coming back."
Jiang Nian: "???"
He was stunned for a moment, glancing around, noticed that Xiao Song’s things were gone, and then suddenly realized.
The college entrance exam was over, so naturally, Xiao Song went home to stay, although she often stayed over here for company.
"When does Uncle Xu arrive?"
"Tomorrow, probably." Xu Qianqian pursed her lips, her mood a little complicated, "You’re not going anywhere tomorrow, are you?"
"Ah... no, just staying at home."
"Oh."
"Where’s Xiao Song?" Jiang Nian turned and asked.
"I’ll probably come over too." Song Xiyun glanced at both, "Not much fun staying on my side for too long."
"Let’s go to North Town tomorrow, go shopping and buy some fireworks to play with," Jiang Nian suggested, a smile on his face. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The fish by the river were in for some trouble.
The two girls had no objections and nodded in agreement. Jiang Nian chatted in the living room until midnight before going home.
A quiet night.
The next day, New Year’s Eve.
Jiang Nian took the two girls out for shopping, wandering aimlessly in South Town. After all, they were college students, deeply playful by nature.
They poked at everything they saw.
"Damn, so many fish?"
"Is this handmade bamboo weaving? How come it’s so expensive? The more I look at it, the more it seems like machine-made?"
"Damn, this toy gun!"
During the New Year period, North Town organized several markets. For a while, the streets were bustling with people.
Xu Qianqian was a bit speechless, glancing at someone.
"Stop being so shocked all the time."
No sooner had she said this than she caught sight, from the corner of her eye, of clothes on clearance at seventy percent off. Her eyes instantly lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Let’s go, Xiyun, let’s check it out!!"
"Oh oh, sure." Song Xiyun was also happy; she might not buy anything, but window shopping was quite enjoyable too.
Jiang Nian: "...."
Forget it, let’s just shop separately.
"I wonder where Li Hua and the others are, byd-Brother’s probably knee-deep in celebrating New Year."
.....
"Jiang Nian’s antics are absurd, don’t you think?"
In the milk tea shop.
Li Hua and Ma Guojun sat facing each other, "Heard Chi Shi is coming back on New Year’s Eve; he must be busy accompanying his girl."
"Isn’t Zhang Ningzhi still in Beijing?" Ma Guojun was surprised, "She posted on social media just yesterday."
"Must be another girl." Li Hua took a big sip of milk tea, "A total beast, one’s not enough!"
"Where is he now?"
"Said he’s shopping nearby, will stop by later." Li Hua glanced at his phone, muttering to himself.
"When he comes, I’m definitely going to tease him!"
Before long.
Jiang Nian swayed past the door, carrying some snacks, and ordered a cup of milk tea casually.
He went upstairs and found Li Hua and the others.
"This place is damn hard to find, why not go to an Internet cafe, I just topped up five hundred each for you guys."
"Chi....." Li Hua was just about to retort.
Suddenly, he froze at Jiang’s words.
"How much?"
"The Internet cafe is having a promotion," Jiang Nian said, "top up 500 and get 300 free, so I just topped it up."
Li Hua was speechless, it was too much.
"What were you going to say just now?" Jiang Nian turned and looked at Li Hua, "You spoke too fast, I didn’t catch it."
"Nothing," Li Hua shut his mouth.
"Dog, hit the jackpot?" Ma Guojun was more interested in the latter, "Damn, dropping a thousand just like that."
Is this still a college student?
Even though they could manage to gather that much, they would never top up so much in a county-level Internet cafe.
"No, just did some small business," Jiang Nian waved his hand and then paused for a while, looking at the two of them.
"Why not call me Master?"
"Chi Shi!"
"Damn you!"
The two cursed in turn, causing a stir over selling a few clothes, self-styling as a master without even owning a car.
"How come you didn’t buy a car?"
"I did."
"Mo Di."
"Really, which model?" Li Hua got interested, he didn’t doubt Jiang Nian could buy a car.
"Ya Di, didn’t notice the model."
"Chi Shi!"
Li Hua lost interest, damn, should never have believed him, "Hey, you’ve even started a small business."
"You won’t be doing any shady dealings with subordinates, damn beast."
