Reborn in 2012, raising a pure-hearted female college student

Chapter 121 The Back Garden

Before personally going to the court, Chen Che first discussed the commission rate and other matters with Lu Xiuyang. As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. To avoid future misunderstandings, it's necessary to clarify matters involving interests in advance.

As for the goods, they can be delivered as soon as Lu Xiuyang obtains a place for operation in the court of review. Chen Che came here specifically to resolve this prerequisite: a central location in the court of review, similar to an incubator, for the circulation and storage of goods.

Chen Che took a public bicycle from the entrance and rode for 20 minutes to another university less than 5 kilometers away from the Institute of Engineering, Jinling Auditing College.

As a science and engineering university, the male-to-female ratio in the School of Engineering is approximately 7:3. In contrast, the male-to-female ratio in the School of Auditing, a finance and economics university, is approximately 3:7.

With more boys than girls, there are often students from other schools looking for partners, or classes and colleges organizing joint social events. As a result, the School of Auditing is jokingly referred to as the backyard of the School of Engineering.

A short while later, Lu Xiuyang arrived at the pavilion where he had arranged to meet Chen Che. He explained the situation to Chen Che: the teacher in charge had suddenly gone out and hadn't returned yet. Fortunately, Lu Xiuyang called to inquire and said that he would only have to wait a little while.

Then let's wait a while, it won't be a waste of time anyway.

The two were positioned at a distance from the main road through which the flow of people passed, a distance that would prevent them from being refined into a postgraduate entrance exam preparation pill, allowing them to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Because of the large number of players, the probability of encountering rare NPCs is relatively high.

In summer, you can probably see all kinds of tank tops and off-shoulder tops paired with short skirts and hot pants, showing off delicate collarbones and healthy, fair long legs. Or you can wear a simple solid-color dress, which highlights the girls' innocence and elegance.

This is the Promised Land, flowing with milk and honey.

Unfortunately, it's December now, and the girls are already wearing thicker coats. Fortunately, dressing well isn't about who shows the most skin, but about how the clothes are coordinated. There are plenty of OOTD styles to appreciate in autumn and winter.

Some of the tall people wore black turtleneck sweaters with long brown trench coats over them, walking with a confident stride and their long hair flowing, looking both dashing and handsome.

Some people who aren't naturally blessed with perfect features opt for a cute look, pairing a royal blue short wool coat with a burgundy pleated skirt and a military green beret, making their faces appear small and adorable.

But no matter what, they can't do without a pair of beautiful and warm tights, which show off the girls' beautiful leg shapes.

Thank you, God of Pantyhose!

Chen Che looked at it openly and honestly, while Lu Xiuyang glanced over but didn't dare to look directly at it, so he lowered his gaze again.

"If you want to watch, then watch. What's there to be shy about?" Chen Che said helplessly.

"It felt... a bit disrespectful," Lu Xiuyang explained.

"What's disrespectful about that? People are openly showcasing themselves, so why can't you just appreciate it openly?"

"Sigh, there are so many pretty girls around him, and he doesn't know how to appreciate them," Chen Che complained with exasperation.

"No, that's not it, I just..." Lu Xiuyang started to say, but then stopped.

"Just what?"

"It's nothing."

"If it's nothing, then there must be something." Chen Che pondered for a moment, still not understanding.

Lu Xiuyang glanced at the time and urged, "Let's go, Teacher Yin should be back by now."

Chen Che and Lu Xiuyang arrived at the office of Ms. Yin Mei, who was in charge of student affairs, in the administration building. They knocked on the door and went in. They saw Ms. Yin Mei looking at the documents in her hand. When she saw them come in, she simply said, "Sit down," and then said nothing more.

This is a female teacher, in her forties, who looks very capable. Her expression is calm and composed, giving off a sense of distance that keeps strangers at bay.

Today, Lu Xiuyang was in charge of introducing the project to Yin Mei. This was specially arranged by Chen Che, giving him a good opportunity to hone his skills.

Lu Xiuyang was struggling with how to start the conversation when Yin Mei slightly raised her head, glanced at him, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to introduce your project to me? Why aren't you saying so?"

Lu Xiuyang was taken aback: "Is that all? Teacher, aren't you still looking at the documents?"

Yin Mei didn't look up: "It won't affect anything."

"Uh," Lu Xiuyang hesitated for a moment, a conflicted expression on his face, "Teacher, I also prepared a PowerPoint presentation. Do you think we should take a look at it in the conference room across the street?"

"No need, just speak like this. If you can't explain it clearly by talking, then there's no need to look at any PPT." Yin Mei's tone was as cold as the biting wind.

It wasn't that she was intentionally targeting anyone; it was just her personality.

However, Lu Xiuyang had never encountered this situation before. Although he had prepared the PPT and speech carefully, Yin Mei's attitude disrupted his plans and rhythm.

"Uh... okay, Hello Professor Yin, my name is Lu Xiuyang, I'm a student in the School of Literature, and I'm planning to do a..."

Despite Lu Xiuyang's efforts to adjust his state, he still couldn't avoid stumbling over his words. In addition, Yin Mei remained head down and showed absolutely no feedback, making it impossible for Lu Xiuyang to continue speaking.

Chen Che saw this and realized that it wasn't entirely his fault. If someone else had listened to him properly, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way. But people can't always find the right people and the right situations; they have to learn to adapt to all kinds of situations.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, Xiuyang probably stayed up all night preparing today's materials and didn't get enough rest. He's not in good shape and is a bit nervous. I'll take over for him from now on." Chen Che patted Lu Xiuyang's shoulder and said with a smile, indicating that he should relax and take over.

Chen Che had seen many storms and waves, so this was nothing to him. He had done many times the kind of thing where he had to fawn over his superiors and get cold shoulders. He was used to it and didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even felt a little amused.

Yin Mei nodded slightly.

Although she didn't say a word, this was a good sign, indicating that she was still patient and willing to listen to him continue his introduction. This reassured Chen Che, and he breathed a sigh of relief, his confidence greatly increased.

What followed was Chen Che's nonchalant, high-pitched speech. Whether you liked it or not, he just kept talking and rambling on. He also mentioned his previous struggles and bets with Hong Lu, saying that he had not only achieved them quite well, but had even completed them ahead of schedule.

Yin Mei chuckled softly as she listened, put down the materials in her hand, and picked up the proposal that Lu Xiuyang had handed her earlier, quickly flipping through it.

I have to say that the ones that have been successfully implemented are among the better ones I've seen in college student entrepreneurship projects; so many people's plans have fallen apart halfway through.

But that's all there is to it.

After Chen Che finished speaking, Yin Mei first offered a few symbolic words of encouragement, saying things like "young people have a lot of ideas," before changing the subject and saying, "I'm sorry, Chen and Lu, we can't offer much support."

Lu Xiuyang's expression instantly turned grim, but Chen Che, unfazed, politely asked, "May I ask what the reason is? Is there something wrong with our project?"

"It's alright, there's nothing particularly outstanding," Yin Mei said frankly. "The main problem is that besides making money, I don't see any particularly social value in your project."

"Also, our school doesn't have resources as good as the engineering college's incubation park that we can allocate to you. That's all."

Lu Xiuyang felt a little anxious after hearing this and was about to speak up to try again when Chen Che shook his head, signaling him not to be so hasty, as it would make him seem impulsive and leave a bad impression.

"Okay, Ms. Yin, we'll be going now. Thank you for listening to our presentation."

After saying that, Chen Che and Lu Xiuyang respectfully left the office.
