Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 620 - 228: Yan Qiuwen Is the Real "Bro" (Part 3)

First, clarify the timing, so Mom won’t call tomorrow to rush things here and there again.

"Haha, that’s great."

Zhao Lixia remembered something, "By the way, today all the members of your review team, from the leader to regular staff, were very polite to us, without a trace of arrogance!"

Su Zelin laughed, "Mom, you are investors, the bosses. Of course, the people from company headquarters have to be polite!"

"That’s true, but your dad, Uncle Qin, and Auntie Liu all think you must be well-liked at headquarters. They’re respecting your presence, is that the situation?"

Granny Su asked curiously.

"Well, it’s alright. Anyway, everyone in the operations department calls me boss, and people from other departments call me director. Either way, your son is a senior executive now, has to have some presence, haha."

"You brat, don’t get too full of yourself. Even as a leader, you have to be amiable and not rely on your status to be overbearing, making it hard to get along with others."

Even though she knew her son was quite slick, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but remind him, worried that he might get carried away.

Su Zelin casually appeased her, chatted a bit about family matters after discussing the main issue, and then hung up the phone.

The loafer chuckled to himself.

Now Mom should be able to sleep well tonight.

It’s just a million; it made her so anxious.

If the Empress Dowager knew he borrowed tens of millions from the bank, could her little heart handle it?

Initially, Su Zelin was thinking of coming clean to the family before graduation, telling them New Era was his. But after thinking it over, he decided to delay it.

If someday it’s revealed that New Era borrowed tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions in the future, and he is the one who borrowed the most, wouldn’t Mom lose sleep every night?

Better to wait until New Era doesn’t owe the bank any money or can repay the debts anytime before telling the family about this!

The review team hadn’t been back in Lin’an for long before the franchise officially got approved. Then, the renovations, training, and stuff began.

The store manager is Qin Shiqing’s cousin, her uncle’s son, named Liu Caizhi.

He’s a relative from Liu Sufen’s family, and was one of the playmates Su Zelin knew from playing at the Liu family when he was young.

That guy is a bit like Kang Baohong, not highly educated but knows how to talk to people appropriately according to the situation, is enthusiastic about the digital industry, and works actively with vigor. In his past life, he served as a manager of a Glory Experience Store in Jianglan, proving his talent in this area, so Su Zelin recommended him.

Initially, neither family was very accepting of Liu Caizhi. Even Liu Sufen deemed it frivolous to let him manage a large digital store.

Because her nephew was somewhat the unserious type, it seemed better to have someone more educated handle the critical position of store manager.

However, after Su Zelin’s explanation of the situation being similar to that of his company’s general manager and with the strong recommendation from the Shopkeeper, he ultimately convinced both the Su and Qin families to trust his judgment.

The first month back at school passed quietly.

Zhejiang University, faculty dormitory.

Su Zelin was drinking tea at Zhou Fuliang’s house.

"Xiaosu, why do you have so much free time recently?"

The Dean’s wife was a bit curious.

This month, it was already the second time Su Zelin came to their home.

And last semester, over several months, he only came twice in total.

But the Dean’s wife understood Su Zelin’s situation; it wasn’t about being distant but about being too busy, which she could understand.

After all, balancing classes and being a high-ranking executive at the company, considering New Era’s expansive growth, would stretch anyone thin.

"Haha, Auntie, I applied for course exemption at the School of Finance, and it was approved."

Su Zelin explained simply.

No need to strictly attend classes, company matters could be handled during the day without frantic overtime; it made Su Zelin’s life quite enjoyable these days.

Whenever he had time, he’d drop by Vice Director Dai’s home for a meal or have tea with Zhou Fuliang. Even when Zhang Yuanhang invited him for karaoke, he accepted. Not because he was that close with Young Master Zhang, but because the specialty Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes were running low, and you had to get a few more packs – the best kind are always limited.

Of course, if he kept freeloading, Su Zelin would feel embarrassed. Initially, he wanted to pay Zhang Yuanhang to get them for him, but the other party refused to take any money, so there was no way around it.

"Exempted from classes? That’s okay; for your special circumstances, special arrangements should be made!"

The Dean’s wife wasn’t too bothered.

As for Zhou Fuliang, he found it even less of an issue.

Dean Zhou wasn’t that rigid.

Besides, with Su Zelin’s intelligence, exempting classes wouldn’t impact his grades much.

While drinking tea and chatting, the doorbell rang.

The Dean’s wife went to open the door. It was Yan Qiuwen who came in.

Su Zelin was slightly puzzled.

He noticed something: whenever he visited Dean Zhou’s house, he’d come across Yan Qiuwen.

I seem to have quite a fate with Qin Shiqing’s roommate.

Of course, Su Zelin didn’t know that the first two encounters were indeed coincidences.

But later visits were because the Dean’s wife invited her over.

Because the Dean’s wife noticed her niece seemed quite interested in this young man.

It wasn’t easy to find someone Yan Qiuwen was interested in; this genius girl was still in college, and her parents were already worrying about her future marital prospects.

Finding a partner for such exceptionally intelligent girls is not easy; even vast wealth is useless if they lack common ground, as interacting becomes akin to playing music to a cow.
