Chapter 2006 Who Is He?
"So you often turn off your phone." Qiaoqiao retorted.
Qin Xiaoyu giggled, her eyes wandering.
Qiaoqiao gave her a glance; intuition told her that it wasn’t that simple, but she couldn’t understand what was actually going on.
However, speaking of which, mobile phones aren’t common right now; they are considered a high-end consumer product.
After all, the manufacturing cost is high, and the selling price can’t be low.
In the university, those who could use a mobile phone were rare.
Even though everyone is just a student, that competitive spirit is never lacking.
It seems that when Qin Xiaoyu was using her phone, someone must have made some unpleasant comments, or perhaps teased her out of jealousy.
But Qin Xiaoyu’s personality isn’t one to heed to others’ sarcasm.
However, there’s nothing one can do; girls grow up, and they can’t share all their secrets with you, not even with her own younger sister Gu Qianqian.
Qiaoqiao smiled as well. By this time, the two had already reached the dormitory.
Qin Xiaoyu put her book on the desk and cheerfully said to Qiaoqiao, "Sis-in-law, come with me to the cafeteria. The food there is really good, you know."
Looking at the time, though there were some matters yet to be clarified, it was lunchtime, so Qiaoqiao nodded, "Alright, I’ll go with you to the cafeteria."
Qiaoqiao wasn’t much older than Qin Xiaoyu; coupled with her clean temperament and bright eyes, she too seemed like a university student, so as they walked along, many male students thought she was Qin Xiaoyu’s classmate, casting frequent glances her way.
Some boys were even bashful, blushing just by looking at her.
And then they’d quickly walk away with their friends, sneaking multiple glances before leaving.
Qiaoqiao found it amusing, realizing that the youthful and exuberant days are indeed wonderful.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyu, holding Qiaoqiao’s arm, glared at the boys who kept turning back to look.
She almost shouted loudly that this was her sister-in-law!
The food in the university cafeteria was indeed good, but only relatively speaking.
But Qiaoqiao isn’t a picky eater.
Sitting and eating with Qin Xiaoyu went quite well.
During the meal, Qiaoqiao asked again, and Qin Xiaoyu’s answer was similar to before - about the phone being off and not really contacting home - basically sticking to that explanation.
Since Qin Xiaoyu was so adamant, Qiaoqiao didn’t want to press further, so she casually asked, "Xiaoyu, who was the guy standing opposite you just now?"
Qiaoqiao, with her good eyesight, noticed that the boy looked at Qin Xiaoyu with a touch of affectionate interest.
But one must admit, the boy looked quite handsome, belonging to that gentle and jade-like type.
Being with someone like that gives you a refreshing and pleasant feeling.
In truth, such men are the most compelling, especially for girls with budding love interests.
At the time, Qin Xiaoyu had her back to Qiaoqiao, so naturally, she couldn’t see Qin Xiaoyu’s expression or emotions, but upon closer observation now, a hint of shyness flashed across Qin Xiaoyu’s face.
Looks like he might be her little boyfriend.
Otherwise, why else wouldn’t she maintain contact with home for so long?
But Qiaoqiao couldn’t directly ask this.
Perhaps they’re just mutually interested, that’s all.
Qin Xiaoyu dodged her gaze but still spoke stiffly, "He’s a classmate from my batch and also the leader of our project. Our investment project is quite large; if successful, we might make a name for ourselves in the Capital City."
"What’s his name?"
Qiaoqiao asked.
If he can attract investment, he must be a talented young man.
"He’s called Qi Fangxiu."
"Oh." Qiaoqiao softly acknowledged; the name sounded unfamiliar, never heard Qin Xiaoyu or Qin Yize mention it.
"How long have you known each other?" Qiaoqiao probed casually.
"I’ve known him since I started university. Hey, sis-in-law, what’s the point of asking these questions? Don’t get any wrong ideas; we’re not what you’re thinking."
Qin Xiaoyu seemed a bit flustered and annoyed.
Qiaoqiao found it amusing, casting a sidelong glance at the frantic Qin Xiaoyu, and said leisurely, "I’m just normally asking you; why do you seem nervous? Besides, you’re classmates, right? Just normal classmates."
"...Of course, we’re just classmates."
Qin Xiaoyu stammered a little but quickly affirmed their relationship as classmates, though clearly, that wasn’t the case.
Qiaoqiao carefully recalled the feel when she first glanced at the boy; usually, one can’t discern a person’s inner nature just from appearances, but the aura enveloping his head can roughly indicate one’s character.
The aura over the boy’s head was normal, a light white enshrouded him, suggesting good health and no bad habits.
In any case, he was quite regular, and his future seemed promising.
Overall, people like this are commendable, but specifics need further understanding.
Qin Yize’s information network is beyond imagination, so leaving it to him to investigate this person should be fine. In about a day, he could probably trace back several generations.
Thus, Qiaoqiao stopped asking about Qi Fangxiu and instead inquired about Qin Xiaoyu’s project, "Xiaoyu, what exactly is your project? Speaking of seeking investment, your brother and I could be the best candidates; how come we don’t know about it? Do you think we wouldn’t help you?"
Qin Xiaoyu bit her lip, looked at Qiaoqiao with some dilemma, and said, "Sis-in-law, of course not. But they don’t know about my family background; I didn’t mention it initially."
Oh, so that’s what’s going on.
In certain ways, Xiao Yu is a particularly smart kid; considering such actions, Qiaoqiao found no fault in her. She did well.
After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable; if others found out about her true family background, especially with the Qin Group now at its peak on the world stage, these university students probably know about it, and many of them likely flood the Qin Group with resumes before graduation. And precisely because the Qin Group has high requirements, their salaries and benefits are equally high.
Just to put it in perspective, the Qin Group in the Imperial Capital is the most ideal workplace for these young scholars.
If people knew Qin Xiaoyu was the younger sister of the big boss of the Qin Group and the only one, she would certainly receive both genuine and fake flattery, but obviously, there would be a lot of people trying to use her.
