Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 An Interesting Opportunity

Just as Su Huai was thinking this, Chu Changkuo pushed the door open and returned to the dorm, grumbling about how unbearable the military training was.

Nowadays, Su Huai really enjoyed teasing him, so he deliberately asked, “Chief Chu, are there many beauties in your class?”

Chu Changkuo was taken aback by the question, giving him a suspicious look.

It seemed he was wondering: We’re on such bad terms, and you’re actually initiating conversation with me?

Little did he know that because their relationship was bad, it was all the more reason to tease him.

As long as it doesn’t bother me, you’re the one who gets disgusted.

...

Rudely turning a cold shoulder every day – how boring is that!

Chu Changkuo clearly hadn’t expected Su Huai to be so “maliciously cunning”, and he started to complain without thinking:

“Not at all!

Our School of Public Administration has always had the most balanced male-to-female ratio to begin with, and with three classes, we’ve even formed a male square. Damn this military training, we have to work twice as hard as the females!

My legs were trembling as I stood, how could I have the mood to check out beauties!

Plus, I can’t be bothered to fuss over them. Back in high school, girls used to come to me to hang out… but you wouldn’t understand!”

“Alright, alright, you’re awesome, you’re the best.”

With a mischievous smile on his face, Su Huai continued to prod him, “But your School of Public Administration has a stunning beauty named Hu Shiyu. I’ve even heard about her, yet you have no clue?”

“That student union senior?”

Chu Changkuo blurted out, then defensively raised his chin with a guilty conscience, “What kind of taste do you have? Just because she wears Bai Si, you call her a beauty?”

Ha!

He’s flustered, he’s flustered!

As Su Huai watched him intently, he smiled meaningfully, “Oh…”

Before long, Chu Changkuo couldn’t take it anymore and, flushed with urgency, asked, “What do you mean by that? If you’re interested in her, just say it, I’ll help you scout around. Don’t beat around the bush with me!”

Thinking he could shut Su Huai up, to his surprise, Gou Huai nodded nonchalantly.

“Great! Chief Chu is all fired up! So I’ll be waiting for your news then?”

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Eh?! Why aren’t you playing by the rules?!

“I… I…”

In fact, Chu Changkuo had his eye on that senior as well. Otherwise, how could he remember so vividly that she wore Bai Si as soon as he heard her name?

But now he couldn’t admit it anymore!

He’d already blown his own trumpet…

Chu Changkuo struggled to find an excuse and was so stuffed with discomfort that he suddenly flung his camouflage uniform into a basin and stormed off to the water room, his temper flaring.

“Then just you wait!”

Hahaha!

Su Huai burst into laughter, feeling utterly delighted.

Kuokuo is really amusing, a daily dose of fun makes life so joyful~~~

Moreover, Hu Shiyu will have to stay pending for now. He wouldn’t specifically target someone Chu Changkuo liked just to cause trouble.

With his thin skin, if he’s played too hard, what fun would there be in the future?

Better consider another prospect.

Yan Mengqing, from the Foreign Languages Department. Which club did she join again?

As Su Huai was trying hard to remember, Xia Yu, who had been silent all along, flashed a thoughtful look and then took out his phone.

…

After a short nap at noon, they continued to line up in the afternoon.

The rest time given by Wang Zhongheng was noticeably shorter than the other classes, and his demands were stricter, causing everyone to complain and share their grievances with Su Huai.

Without drawing attention to himself, Su Huai didn’t rush to do anything.

He simply made a minor adjustment to his original plan to sneak away, deciding instead to stick it out with his classmates to the end.

The afternoon training went smoothly, and Chen Nuanhan didn’t come to stir up trouble again.

Su Huai had good reason to suspect that her Favorability Rating was close to hitting an even 40 points, but persuading her himself was out of the question. Don’t ask why, the answer is he didn’t want to give her any false hope.

How about… inciting Wu Tianyou to create some entertainment?

Doing shameless acts often doesn’t result in regret, guilt, or unease; instead, you gradually realize… it’s quite fun.

I’m not bad, I’m just helping you get acclimated to society ahead of time.

But before he could start digging traps, Su Huai still had to make a trip to Director Zhang’s office.

After he arrived, they didn’t talk much. He briefly reported on the military training and then mentioned Instructor Wang’s serious dedication.

Zhang Yaowen said with a smile, “Instructor Wang’s strict attitude was specially requested by me. It’s a new program after all, it’s good to be a bit strict.”

Zhang didn’t spell out his words clearly, but Su Huai understood.

The key was the phrase “it’s a new program after all”. Combined with his tone and manner, it was quite obvious that Zhang hoped that the big data class could make some noise.

For instance, obtaining a title like Advanced Collective or Outstanding Training Class during military training.

Su Huai’s first reaction was, what’s the use of this thing?

It’s all very abstract.

But when he considered it from the perspective of the department head and put himself in their shoes, he realized that Zhang Yaowen was actually very pragmatic.

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

Given the current situation of the big data class, are they really equipped to achieve anything else?

They don’t have that foundation, you know?

Rather than that, it’s better to start off well with military training, use some seemingly insignificant awards to boost the sense of collective honor and cohesion, and then move forward step by step, solidly and steadfastly.

It’s hard to say how much can be achieved in the end, but the thought and effort were directed and utilized correctly.

Old Zhang truly has some skills…

Su Huai praised him silently in his heart but didn’t voice it out to flatter. Instead, he stated earnestly, “I understand your thought process, and I will do my best to guide the students to strive for excellence.”

Zhang Yaowen was extremely satisfied, chuckled, and patted Su Huai on the shoulder, drawing him a large and distant pie in the sky.

“Take good care of the first big data class of the School of Management, and I assure you, as long as you can do that, I’ve got your future covered!”

Su Huai was somewhat torn between laughter and tears.

He believed that Director Zhang was sincere, and also believed that Director Zhang could fulfill his promise, but the problem was… I no longer need the future you’re offering right now.

If there had been such good fortune in my last life, how many detours could I have avoided?

But then again, the him of his last life wouldn’t have seized such an opportunity either.

So actually, patrons are often present, but when one lacks the ability, encountering more patrons still can’t transform into an opportunity for a turnaround.

Life is truly amusing;sure enough, hard work to burst gold coins is the right path.

…

As he left the office, Su Huai became even more composed.

Zhang Yaowen’s calm and unhurried demeanor left a deep impression on him. Success isn’t achieved overnight, and the principle that haste doesn’t bring success applies at any time.

Amassing rewards and building attributes is a long-term goal; one can be ambitious mentally, but actions must not be rushed.

Su Huai considered what to do next and ultimately decided: to fulfill the promise he made to his classmates.

So, he immediately found the nearest traditional Chinese medicine shop, a well-established brand.

“I would like to prepare several prescriptions for sour plum drink enough for 50 people to drink.”

The clerk understood immediately and enthusiastically recommended—

“Black plums 30g, hawthorn 20g, dried tangerine peel 8g, dried mulberries 8g, mint 8g, licorice 5g—a prescription costs 6 yuan. Simmer it in 3 liters of water until it reduces to 2.45 liters, then add rock sugar to taste, and you can serve 5 large cups of sour plum drink.”

For 50 people, each person having one cup only requires 10 prescriptions, merely 60 yuan.

Including rock sugar and ice cubes, 80 yuan should cover it.

Everyone in the class getting a bottle of mineral water would cost 100 yuan; sour plum drink is much more cost-effective, refreshing and cooling, tasty and affordable.

The only downside is that boiling and transporting are not very convenient due to the large quantity.

But the task is still worth doing, difficulties are there to be overcome!

And also… Su Huai suddenly thought, might this not be a rather interesting opportunity?

An exact definition of interesting here is: not necessarily about making a lot of money, nor about aiming to make a lot of it, but it will surely push one’s reputation significantly higher.

Moreover, if handled with enough finesse, this task could also satisfy Director Zhang’s desire for achievements.

Additionally, this is a rare practical opportunity, which helps in moderately self-activating Su Huai.

Su Huai has a very clear and objective assessment of his current self—

Exceptional among peers, still a novice when placed in high-end circles, possesses foresight and an overall perspective in a few areas, but the general knowledge structure is neither wide-ranging nor deep, and though experiences seem abundant, unfortunately, they are of a low level.

It’s the common problem of rebirth from a loser’s life; perception is high, ability is low.

Therefore, for the current Su Huai, there is no rush to start a business, it’s too early to lie down; it’s best to maintain a sufficiently relaxed yet still spirited state.

Do well when there are things to do, and when there’s nothing, don’t rack your brains aimlessly every day—just normally enjoy university life.

Doesn’t that sit well?

Su Huai smiled and asked at a leisurely pace, “If I need a particularly large quantity, could it be a bit cheaper?”

The young apprentice shook his head skeptically, “Are you a new student from Capital Normal University? How many prescriptions can a class possibly use during the entire period of military training…”

“What if I find a way to get the whole school of Management, or even the entire university’s freshmen, to drink sour plum drink?”

“Yo, I can’t make the decision on such a business…”

The attitude of the young apprentice was noticeably more cautious and respectful.

“How about this, why don’t you have a chat with our shop owner?”

Su Huai thought for a moment, extended his hand, “Could you please give me a business card of your shop owner? I’ll confirm the details, and then we can talk more.”

“Sure, you seem to be someone who does business properly. Here’s the card, please take good care of it.”

Su Huai took the business card, smiled broadly, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.

The idea is feasible, but the outcome is unknown; one can only do their best.

Success brings a windfall profit, failure isn’t a loss; there’s no reason not to try hard.

If his previous life’s hardship was because of effort but always being behind the times, then Su Huai also wanted to see to what extent he could achieve now.
