Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?
Chapter 70: Applying for Entrepreneurial Support

TL: Etude

The popularity of the website skyrocketed quickly, and the competition among the campus beauties from various departments became increasingly intense. Although the campus beauty contest had not been officially announced, many were already urging the admins to organize it.

Simply arguing in forum threads was meaningless.

“You say your department’s candidate is beautiful, I say ours is,” but in the end, no one would concede.

The only solution was to let the data speak.

Letting the goddesses of each department stand on the same starting line, judged by all students, whoever had the highest data would be the campus beauty. How fair would that be?

Actually, the campus beauty contest was part of Jiang Qin’s plan, but he hadn’t expected the topic of “Who is the campus beauty” to become so popular so quickly, with forum users more anxious than he was.

Jiang Qin took out his phone and called Su Nai.

“Su Nai, how’s the progress on your end?”

“We’re rushing the work, boss, but there’s a major problem. Our current workspace is the computer department’s public classroom, which is often occupied by students for classes. We frequently have to move our equipment around, and team members often return from their classes to find nobody there because we’ve had to move again. It’s really dragging down our efficiency.”

Jiang Qin nodded, not surprised. He had heard this for the second time, as Dong Wenhai was in the same situation.

Ever since Yao Yanling betrayed them mid-way, Dong Wenhai had to establish his own team. But after leaving the Literature Club, they lost access to its activity room. Now, like guerrillas, they were forced to move around constantly, disrupting their thought processes and resulting in subpar writing.

It seemed urgent to find a permanent office space.

After hanging up, Jiang Qin left his dormitory and headed to the University Entrepreneurship Center located on College Fourth Road.

According to policy, university student entrepreneurial projects received school support. If he could pass the review, securing an activity room for headquarters shouldn’t be a problem.

As Jiang Qin calculated, he walked along the empty corridor to the general office.

In novels, this office typically housed a highly respected old professor, an expert in finance and business, who, upon understanding his purpose, would engage in a detailed discussion and fully affirm his business ideas, even marveling and opening doors of opportunity.

But reality proved different. The Entrepreneurship Center office had no teachers, only two students on duty.

One was playing online games, and the other was watching a TV series.

This familiar scenario reminded Jiang Qin of his past life. Indeed, slackers were everywhere.

“Entrepreneurial application? Fill out this form first. If you pass the preliminary review, someone will contact you,” said the gaming student succinctly.

Jiang Qin took the form, filling out the header. “How long does the review process usually take?”

“About a month. Oh? Are you a freshman?” The student asked in surprise after glancing at the form.

“If the review time is shorter for freshmen, then yes, I am.”

The gaming student rolled her eyes, “Freshman entrepreneurship is too unrealistic.”

Jiang Qin didn’t pick up on her hint and instead asked, “Are there many people doing startups here at Linchuan University?”

“A lot, but they’re usually graduate students working on professors’ projects or doctoral students forming their own teams. There are not many undergraduates, and you’re the only freshman.”

“That sounds cool. I like being the first to try new things.”

Just then, the student watching TV laughed, “You might as well not bother filling it out.”

Jiang Qin paused with his pen. “Why not?”

“First-year students applying for entrepreneurial projects are usually just trying to earn credits. They submit a project proposal and then don’t follow through. We’ve seen too many. Not to mention getting past Professor Yan, I wouldn’t approve you either.”

Jiang Qin walked over and glanced at his computer. “Magical Mobile Phone? The female lead is Silly Girl, right? She’s pretty.”

The student looked up, “You’ve seen it too? I love Silly Girl!”

“Seen the finale?”

“No, no computer in the dorm. I can only watch two episodes here each day.”

“Silly Girl performs an illegal operation for the last time and then runs out of energy and dies. Lu Xiaoqian cries so hard he’s unrecognizable. I still can’t bring myself to watch it a second time. It’s traumatic.”

…

Jiang Qin returned to Sister Xingxing, pointing to a blank line on the form. “What should I write in this remark section?”

Sister Xingxing continued folding her stars. “Look, freshman, your application for entrepreneurial support is bound to fail. Write whatever you want if you don’t believe me.”

“Anything?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Qin glanced at a glass jar on the desk tied with a card reading ‘Cao Xinyue loves Chen Anhua’.

Sigh, another college girl obsessed with romance.

“Done, I’ve filled it out.”

Sister Xingxing took the form and glanced at it. The basic information was ordinary, just a freshman. The other details were also mundane, but the remark made her almost choke.

[No dating dogs]

Looking at her jar full of stars, she wondered if this was a jab at her for only focusing on love. But college life was so beautiful; it was a waste not to date. As for starting a business? Such impractical dreams were only pursued by naive freshmen. Wasn’t a nine-to-five job more appealing?

After Jiang Qin left, the door to the entrepreneurship office opened again, and an old man in a Zhongshan suit walked in, startling the two duty students.

The male student frantically unplugged his earphones and turned off the TV series, while the female student pretended to do nothing, holding her jar of stars on her lap.

The old professor glanced at Sister Xingxing, frowned slightly, then picked up the application form from the desk. “Another application?”

“Yes, a freshman. I told him it’s useless, but he didn’t listen.”

“Don’t do these things in the office next time. You’re wasting your youth!”

“Got it, Professor Yan.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Professor Yan skimmed the application, thinking what nonsense was written. A university forum? There was already one. What use was another? But the last line was good—no dating dogs. Few young people understood this nowadays, leading to so many wasting their youth in school.

Intrigued by that line, Professor Yan put on his reading glasses and entered the website address.

Hmm?

This seems interesting.

Not sure, need to look further.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qin had left the Entrepreneurship Center and sat on a bench outside, frowning slightly.

A month for the startup project approval?

By then, the campus beauty contest would be long forgotten. It seemed he couldn’t rely too much on the school’s entrepreneurial support and had to find a more reliable solution. The quickest way was to rent a place, but campus spaces weren’t easily available, and off-campus locations were too far, wasting more time.

Ding ding ding—

Jiang Qin checked his phone, finding a message from Feng Nanshu, with a naive-looking tabby cat avatar.

“Goodnight, Jiang Qin.”

“It’s only five in the afternoon.”

“Oh.”

“I had plans tonight, but here’s what we’ll do. Wait for me downstairs, and you can join me for dinner.”

After replying to Feng Nanshu’s QQ message, Jiang Qin stood up and walked towards the girls’ dormitory.

The little rich girl, Feng Nanshu, was already waiting downstairs. She wore a black dress with a red belt, showing off her slender legs. Her long, smooth hair cascaded down her shoulders, less girlish but more stunning.
