Chapter 433 - 264: Is Every Top Student a Time Management Master?

The atmosphere in the room froze in an instant. Fang Jie, realizing she’d said something awkward, abruptly stopped talking.

Finally, Lin Jiang broke the silence.

"Don’t worry, I won’t read too much into it."

His saying that only made Fang Jie even more embarrassed.

"I was talking about the pressure you were applying to my back..."

"Your explanation is just making it more awkward."

"Oh, you’re terrible..."

Lin Jiang gently helped her with the stretch.

’For him, pressing on her back wasn’t the interesting part. The view from behind, however, was quite a sight.’

"Alright, you’re all the way down."

"You can let go now."

"Mm."

Lin Jiang went back to the sofa. Fang Jie remained in the same pose, meticulously holding her form.

About half an hour later, Fang Jie finished her yoga session.

"It’s getting late. I should be heading back."

Fang Jie glanced at her watch. It was indeed getting late, so she felt she couldn’t ask Lin Jiang to stay any longer.

"Drive carefully, and text me when you get home."

"Okay."

After a quick goodbye, Lin Jiang left. It was already past 11:00 PM by the time he got home.

Fang Jie: Are you home?

Lin Jiang: Just got back.

Fang Jie: Thanks for all your help today. I’ll treat you to dinner sometime. President Lin had better give me the chance.

"No problem."

「The next morning」

Lin Jiang went to Berkeley. The remodeling work was still underway at a feverish pace.

But business at the noodle shop wasn’t affected; people were still lining up to eat.

Lin Jiang called Liang Shuhuo again, telling her to speed up the construction schedule as much as possible.

’A head-to-head competition would be more interesting, and the results would be clearer.’

After arriving at the noodle shop, he ordered a bowl of noodles for breakfast.

While he was eating, Yang Tao arrived, holding a manila envelope, and came up to Lin Jiang.

"Brother Jiang, I took care of that thing you asked me to do."

Saying this, Yang Tao opened the manila envelope and took out two sheets of A4 paper.

"Sister He typed up this disownment agreement, and we had that old bastard sign it."

Lin Jiang picked it up and looked it over. The content was fine, and Shen Ziquan had already signed his name. All that was missing was Shen Qingqiu’s signature.

"When you found him, what did Shen Ziquan say?"

"The moment Jiachun stood in front of him, he nearly pissed his pants. Didn’t dare to say a word," Yang Tao said.

"The guy’s a degenerate gambler. We had a few people like that back in my village. One just vanished, and another was beaten to death by his creditors. None of them came to a good end. He’ll probably end up the same way."

"I don’t care if he lives or dies, as long as he never shows his face again."

"We have his IOU, so he knows he’s in the wrong. He’s also scared the three of us will come after him again over this, so I doubt he’ll be showing his face anytime soon."

Yang Tao said:

"Judging by his reaction, he probably has no idea this kind of agreement isn’t legally binding. It should be enough to fool an uneducated guy like him."

"Good enough."

"What about that other matter I gave you? How’s it progressing?"

"It’s going alright. I’ve found a supplier, but I feel like they’re a bit lacking. I want to look for someone better. In any case, there won’t be any issues. I definitely won’t drop the ball for the grand opening."

"That’s all I need to hear."

After discussing a few other things, Yang Tao left.

Just then, Lin Jiang’s phone buzzed a few times. It was a message from Fang Jie.

Fang Jie: Morning! Are you up? Have you had breakfast yet?

’This young woman is pretty thoughtful.’

Lin Jiang: I’ve been up for a while. Just eating now.

After replying, Lin Jiang took a photo of the noodles and sent it to Fang Jie.

Fang Jie: Just having breakfast? I’m already back from my morning stroll.

Lin Jiang: What were you up to?

He sent a casual reply, and the two of them started chatting idly.

Fang Jie: I’ll have to get serious about working out with Coach Lin from now on. I went and bought a new pair of yoga pants.

Fang Jie: I regretted it as soon as I bought them. You should never buy white yoga pants. They make your legs look fat.

Lin Jiang: I’m sure it’s not as bad as you say. Besides, your legs don’t seem thick at all.

Fang Jie: They really do. I’ll show you.

A few seconds later, Fang Jie sent over a photo.

Fang Jie: [Image.JPG]

’Those legs!!!’

’Her legs were long and straight, plump and shapely, with absolutely no gap between them. The triangle area, in particular, was incredibly alluring.’

Lin Jiang: They’re perfect just like that. They wouldn’t look as good if they were any thinner.

Fang Jie: Really? If you say so, I won’t try to slim down my legs anymore. I’ll focus on my abs.

Lin Jiang: Sounds like a plan.

After a few more quick messages, Lin Jiang finished his meal and called Shen Qingqiu.

"Where are you?"

"I’m at the university. I have a project meeting to attend. Is there something you need me to do?"

"No, but I do need to see you about something. Around what time will you be finished?"

"It’ll probably be another hour. If it’s something important, you can just tell me over the phone."

"It’s better if we talk in person. I’ll be there in an hour."

"Mm, okay."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Jiang went down to the basement level.

Everywhere he looked, there were construction workers.

Even though it was still under construction, it was already taking shape. He could even start to picture what the finished space would look like.

He took a look around the first floor, and seeing that it was about time, he drove to Jiaoda.

RING RING RING—

He hadn’t been driving for long when Li Yueting called.

’The two of them had stayed at Shen Qingqiu’s place last night. Now that Shen Qingqiu was at a meeting, Li Yueting could slack off a bit. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had a chance to call him.’

"Brother, where are you? Are you busy?"

"Not busy. What’s up? Craving something from the shop?"

"No, it’s... my parents and my aunt are coming over. They’re already on their way. Do you want to come over later?"
