Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again Chapter 403 - 158: Qin Shiqing Goes Shopping for Autumn Clot

This cup of tea has it all.

Dai Chuangxing couldn’t help but smile.

Although his old classmate wanted to et Su Zelin, it was just a simple introduction. Whether Su Zelin could make a good impression on Zhou Fuliang depended on his own abilities.

This kid really has a knack for socializing. Before eting Zhou Fuliang, he asked about the preferences of the Zhejiang University principal. Upon learning that Zhou Fuliang especially liked the tea ceremony, he made his breakthrough from this aspect, and it proved to be imdiately effective.

"Xiaosu, you truly make a good cup of tea. Nowadays, there aren’t many young people who like and understand tea!"

There was a hint of appreciation in Zhou Fuliang’s tone.

"Dean Zhou, you’re too kind. Drinking tea can detoxify and beautify, delay aging, and can fight bacteria and reduce inflammation, enhance the body’s immunity. Occasionally drinking so is very beneficial for the body."

Su Zelin smiled faintly and spoke casually.

"Not only that, the tea ceremony is also a way of life. This small cup of tea can sotis allow people to understand many truths, such as ’Tea is always poured seven-tenths full, leaving three-tenths as a gesture of friendship.’"

Zhou Fuliang clapped his hands in agreent: "That’s right, drinking tea is beneficial to the body, and through it, one can cultivate oneself, nurture one’s temperant, and experience life!"

At this point, he half-jokingly said to Dai Chuangxing: "Old Dai, I’ve long told you to learn more about tea. Even Xiaosu understands more about these principles than you do!"

Dai Chuangxing chuckled: "Alright, you guys have your tea talk, don’t involve . I don’t have much demand for drinking tea, nor do I have as many particulars as you guys!"

Zhou Fuliang sighed and shook his head repeatedly: "Xiaosu, look at this, Old Dai is just an old stubborn, there’s really nothing I can do!"

As they chatted casually, the waiter brought the dishes.

Dragon Phoenix Affair, Crab Roe Fish Fillets, Longjing Shrimp, West Lake Water Shield Soup...

Just three people, the things ordered weren’t many, three at, one vegetable, a soup, and two small desserts.

The two seniors and one junior tasted the delicious food while chatting, throughout only eating and drinking tea, discussing idle topics, not touching the main affairs.

Afterwards, Zhou Fuliang got to know more about Su Zelin.

No matter the topic—astronomy, geography, politics, military, academics, sports, or even education, this young man could always join the conversation and share his unique insights.

Until the al was over, Dai Chuangxing went to settle the bill.

Su Zelin didn’t compete with Vice Director Dai for the bill; it was inappropriate for him to pay.

Moreover, Dai Chuangxing didn’t call the waiter over, but instead went to the counter himself to settle the bill. This factually also left space for Su Zelin and Zhou Fuliang to converse.

So things are inconvenient to say, even with an old classmate present.

Dai Chuangxing could only provide Su Zelin with the opportunity to et Zhou Fuliang, whether he could form a connection with the Zhejiang University principal depended on fate.

Even if Dai Chuangxing intentionally took longer to settle the bill, the ti was still very limited, so Su Zelin didn’t dawdle.

"Dean Zhou, our New Era’s Zhejiang University branch opened successfully and is performing well. We owe thanks to Principal Zhou and Zhejiang University’s strong support!"

Su Zelin transitioned to the main topic.

"Oh, Xiaosu, I didn’t help you; rather, your store proposal was excellent, both generating revenue for Zhejiang University and helping many poor students. So, as the dean, I must of course support you on behalf of Zhejiang University!"

Seemingly deflecting credit, but actually speaking cautiously.

Implying that my assistance wasn’t out of loyalty to an old classmate, but for the benefit of Zhejiang University.

Su Zelin knew such people are very cautious and wouldn’t readily acknowledge anything outside the rules and regulations. Therefore, when he initially thanked Zhou Fuliang, he also ntioned Zhejiang University.

In communicating with people like them, one must focus on the art of speaking.

At this level, everyone speaks in coded language, yet they all understand each other.

A person of a lesser level might be completely bewildered, unable to comprehend the aning.

"Dean Zhou, you’re absolutely right. Our New Era’s second branch is based at Zhejiang University, and our business stems from Zhejiang University. We also hope to give back to Zhejiang University!"

Su Zelin paused: "Therefore, I plan to allocate a portion of the profits from the Zhejiang University branch to give back to Zhejiang University’s support and affection, hoping to contribute a bit to the campus construction and educational endeavors of this century-old university."

The intention of this was quite clear, similar to last ti when Su Zelin supported Financial Academy’s BBS developnt by handing an envelope to Li Yanru with a very justifiable reason.

As to how the money is spent, Su Zelin couldn’t care less. Officially, he was supporting campus BBS, a very proper reason.

Zhou Fuliang squinted his eyes: "Xiaosu, with such a thoughtful gesture, I must thank you on behalf of Zhejiang University!"

"Dean Zhou, you overpraise , it’s the right thing to do!"

Su Zelin humbly replied.

The other party’s attitude was still not very clear, but the opportunist dared not ask more questions.

Everything necessary had already been said.

Not long after, Dai Chuangxing returned from settling the bill.

The al was over, and it was ti to leave.

They hailed a taxi at the door, and just before getting in, Zhou Fuliang suddenly thought of sothing: "Xiaosu, your tea ceremony skills are impressive. Next ti, if you have the ti, let’s find a place to drink a few more cups. Let Old Dai give you my number!"

Su Zelin couldn’t help but beam with joy.

This connection with Zhou Fuliang was established.

...

After having dinner with Zhou Fuliang, Su Zelin returned to school.

There wasn’t much going on in the evening, so he played Legend with Zeng Kaiping again.

After playing for a short while, Cai Wensheng ca back.

The youngest entered the dormitory without saying a word, his eyes red.

As the dorm head, Feng Zhongliang quickly noticed his unusual state, showing concern and asking in a big brother’s way: "Wen Sheng, what’s wrong, are you okay?"
