Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

“In the world of martial arts, speed is unbeatable, and the same is true for the fluctuating world of business. Being one step ahead may seem trivial, but the advantage it grants is enormous.”

Qin Jingqiu felt that Jiang Qin had not yet exerted his full strength.

His current strategies in business seemed effortless, as if he was merely playing a game. One could never gauge his limits.

The project at Linchuan University was far less challenging than promoting at the top four universities, and that in turn was easier than citywide promotion in Linchuan. Naturally, promoting across the entire country was a bigger challenge.

In other words, as Jiang Qin progressed, the challenges in his career grew, yet he always seemed to handle them with ease.

It’s like weightlifting. From an outsider’s perspective, if you lift weights effortlessly, you haven’t reached your limit. Only when you grimace and tremble do others realize you’re at your breaking point.

“Feng Shihua suddenly said, “Jiang Qin is indeed talented, but unfortunately, his humble background limits his resources and connections.”

Qin Jingqiu looked at him and said, “Weren’t you planning to invest in him? Why the sudden change of heart?”

Feng Shihua smiled slightly: “I want to invest in him as a person. Even if his venture gets absorbed in the end, I can still bring him into our family business. Talent like his won’t go unnoticed, he’ll shine wherever he goes.”

“But now you know, he’s your niece’s husband.”

“Yes, that’s why I reconsidered from his perspective. I can’t help but worry. An industry with no backing will easily fall when hit by the gales of capital. No matter how skilled, one can’t withstand a cleaver.”

Qin Jingqiu nodded, “True self-made success might not exist at all. The better Jiang Qin is, the more tragic his loss could be.”

Feng Shihua looked at his wife: “Aren’t you already seeing yourself as a mother-in-law? Aren’t you worried about your son-in-law’s potential loss?”

“Why worry? Let my Nanshu take care of him. Even being a kept man wouldn’t be bad. If he gives me a grandson or granddaughter, wouldn’t that be nice?”

As they spoke, an email notification popped up on Qin Jingqiu’s computer. It was September 1st, and the latest report from the Eagle Eye investigation company had arrived. The zip file was labeled: Jiang Qin—0901.

[Industry Upgrade Symposium: Jiang Qin proposes collective development, reaching preliminary strategic cooperation with Linchuan’s wealthy businessmen.]

[Linchuan City Government decides to deepen industry reform, leading the formation of Linchuan Business Gang, registering over a hundred members.]

[Mining tycoons urgently seeking transformation, registering shell companies to grab strategic cooperation opportunities.]

[Jiang Qin invests in Wanzhong Group…]

Qin Jingqiu and Feng Shihua glanced at the email, their expressions slightly stunned, then looked at each other, as if a lightning bolt had struck their minds.

“He wants all the rich in Linchuan to taste the sweetness of the internet, then, like gamblers, follow him into the dark!”

“When you can’t withstand the storm, tie yourself to a huge rock. Wife, you’re right. Being a step ahead, he can make more arrangements to face unknown risks.”

Under the night sky, in the light, Qin Jingqiu, listening to Feng Shihua’s voice, was lost in thought as she read the email.

Did my daughter Nanshu just randomly pick up an ordinary stone, only to clean it and discover it’s gold?

“Have Li book me a flight. I’m going to Linchuan to register a company.”

“?????”

Besides Qin Jingqiu keeping tabs on Jiang Qin, there was another outsider paying close attention to him – Ye Ziqing.

Since her visit to 208 at the end of July and a detailed conversation with Jiang Qin, she had been eagerly awaiting his relaunch of the group buying promotion plan.

Ye had already decided: if Jiang Qin continued to promote group buying, she would abandon her family business to help him with the project, aiming to make group buying the top in the domestic market.

So, since the summer vacation, she had been persuading and waiting.

When one is fixated on an idea, it becomes an obsession.

Like when you spot a necklace you adore in a mall but don’t buy it, you’ll toss and turn all night thinking about it, then rush to the mall the next day to buy it for peace of mind.

This was exactly Ye Ziqing’s state of mind.

Ye’s parents were venture capitalists involved in various industries. Although not at the forefront nationally, they could easily hand her any company to manage.

Since her university venture failed, Ye Ziqing had been following her family’s plan, taking over a fast-moving consumer goods company invested in by her father.

From that day, she lost her dreams and ambition, spending her days in endless social gatherings, returning home drunk to an empty house, staring blankly in her room for hours until she fell asleep from exhaustion.

In her dreams, she always revisited the days when she strived wholeheartedly for her dreams, filled with regret.

If only she had slowed down, been more cautious, decisively cut off those bad assets…

Then every time she woke up, she felt even more empty than before going to sleep.

Ye Ziqing had several close friends she met through work. Whenever they visited her house, they would always express their surprise.

“Hey, why is your house so empty? You don’t even have basic groceries?”

“My goodness, why do you only have business attire in your wardrobe? Don’t you have any casual clothes?”

“How long has it been since you opened your refrigerator? Many things in here are expired.”

Ye Ziqing would remain silent because she knew her friends wouldn’t understand.

She felt no sense of belonging to her current life. It felt more like a prison constantly confining her. Who would put effort into furnishing a prison? But the saddest part was, she had no idea when she could escape this prison.

It was only when she saw Jiang Qin’s group buying initiative that she realized it wasn’t her current life that imprisoned her, but her past failure. She felt alive again.

However, it wasn’t until Zhihu’s national promotion swept through Shanghai that she realized Jiang Qin had made an unwise decision to abandon group buying in favor of focusing on Zhihu.

Ye Ziqing couldn’t understand Jiang Qin’s rationale. She picked up her phone to call him, wanting to ask what he was thinking, but the call went unanswered for a long time.

Jiang Qin was undoubtedly busy with Zhihu’s national promotion phase. It was normal for him not to answer calls…

Trying to calm her emotions, Ye decided to find an opportunity to visit Linchuan University and talk to Jiang Qin in person.

In fact, Jiang Qin was indeed extremely busy, as he was currently in a toiletries store at the front square, selecting attractive nail polishes.

“Mr. Jiang, this is glossy nail polish, the most common type. It gives a lacquer-like finish.”

“This one is pearlescent. Under the light, it has a delicate pearly effect, like tender pearls.”

“This is matte finish, what people refer to as frosted. It’s not very smooth, but it looks very classy when applied.”

“And here’s the crackle finish. It cracks when dry, containing fluorescent agents that make it shimmer and give a three-dimensional look.”

Jiang Qin followed the salesgirl’s guidance, nodding and shaking his head from time to time at the nail polish display, appearing extremely serious.

He had spent the day at the university gate, feeling thirsty from observing the students. On his way back, he passed this store and saw a row of nail polishes, impulsively walking in.

“What are these nail polishes made of?” Jiang Qin asked.

“Organic solvents, nitrocellulose, gelatin, and coloring agents,” the salesgirl patiently explained.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Qin picked up a pink pearlescent nail polish, shaking it under the light, and asked, “Will eating this cause poisoning?”

“Why would you eat it????”

“Just asking. Do you have any recommendations?”

The salesgirl glanced over the shelf: “Miss Feng has a fair complexion and a good temperament. Matte finish would be more suitable for her, it’s more elegant.”

Jiang Qin was startled: “How did you know I’m buying it for her?”

“Isn’t she your girlfriend? Sweet Miss Gao told me. Or is it just a rumor?”

Jiang Qin had great respect for Gao Wenhui: “Let’s go with the pearlescent one. Forget the matte, it’s rough.”

The salesgirl: “…”

Soon after, Feng Nanshu, wearing little leather shoes, hurriedly arrived at the startup base and was pulled into room 207 by Jiang Qin. Before she could speak, her shoes and socks were taken off, leaving her looking dazed and bewildered.

Jiang Qin knelt by the sofa, gently holding her delicate white feet, and carefully applied the pink nail polish.

The little rich lady didn’t know what to expect, but watching Jiang Qin attentively and tenderly care for her feet, she couldn’t help but want to call him ‘brother’.

After finishing the right foot, Jiang Qin blew on it, his eyes gleaming.

“Does it look good?”

“It looks good,” Feng Nanshu nodded obediently.

Jiang Qin smiled slightly: “Really beautiful, like pink jade, complete with color, fragrance, and taste.”

The little rich lady suddenly blushed: “Jiang Qin, are you thinking about eating something delicious again?”
