Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 169 Li Xutian

The three men in blue ribbons could no longer swagger as they did before, their cheeks flush with embarrassment, not daring to raise their heads to look at those around them.

Without looking, they knew the mocking expressions on the faces of those nearby.

Qin Hao looked at Huo Qiang with a dismissive tone, "Next time you want to teach me a lesson, find someone stronger, not trash like you."

Hoo Qiang's face turned ugly, "You wait."

After he spoke, he left with the blue-ribboned men in tow.

Qin Hao's expression returned to indifference, planning to continue towards the cafeteria.

"Qin Hao." Xu Siyao hurriedly spoke up.

Qin Hao turned his head, "What's up?"

Xu Siyao said shyly, "We haven't recruited anyone today, why don't you join our painting society?"

"I haven't really painted much."

Xu Siyao smiled and said, "No problem, I can teach you. Painting is fun and can relax the mind."

Qin Hao was a bit troubled, "I don't have much time, I'd better not join the club."

"It's fine, you come to the club when you have time, and it's no big deal if you don't." Xu Siyao was still cordially inviting him.

Qin Hao, seeing her like this, finally nodded his head.

Xu Siyao was inviting him in front of so many people; to refuse would be leaving her to lose face, and since it wasn't a big loss, he agreed.

At worst, he could just join and not attend.

Liu Yue saw Xu Siyao persuade Qin Hao and was delighted, "Qin Hao, here is the application form."

Qin Hao walked over and sat down, filling out the application form.

"Qin Hao, you also need to pay the club fee, a hundred yuan for one semester." Liu Yue reminded.

Qin Hao was taken aback for a moment, then took out the money and paid, a hundred yuan for one semester wasn't expensive.

Once everything was settled, Qin Hao said to Xu Siyao, "Have you eaten yet? Want to go together?"

Xu Siyao, "Sure, Miss Liu, I'll go eat first, and I'll bring something back for you if you want."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "No need, I'll go eat myself in a bit. Take time this afternoon to show Qin Hao around the club."

"Mhm, okay."

...

At noon, the two of them simply bought some food.

"I don't eat meat, you can have it." Xu Siyao picked the meat out from the dish and gave it to him.

To those who didn't know them, they might have mistaken them for a couple.

After eating, Xu Siyao led him to the painting society.

On the way, Xu Siyao asked, "How's the business in the shop?"

As they walked, Qin Hao replied, "Not bad at all, it's pretty good."

"You're amazing to have started a business already. I need to work hard too," Xu Siyao said.

The two chatted as they walked, and a few minutes later arrived at where the painting society was based, on the fifth floor of a multi-media building.

The painting society was a niche group, so there weren't many members.

This large room on the fifth floor was furnished with many easels, with about a dozen people inside, almost all of whom were female.

Some were painting, others teaching how to paint.

After Qin Hao's arrival, Xu Siyao quickly said to those present, "Everyone, please holt for a moment. This is Qin Hao, the new member of our society. Let's welcome him."

The people looked at Qin Hao and then applauded in welcome.

Qin Hao did a brief introduction, and then everyone went back to their own activities.

He had been there for a while when his phone rang.

"Master, where are you?" Li Moying's voice came through.

Qin Hao, "I'm at the school, what's up?"

Li Moying, "My brother has finished the contract and told me to bring it to you. I'll wait for you at Bright Lake's pavilion, Master."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao told Xu Siyao about it and then left the place.

He arrived at Bright Lake in the center of the campus.

There were a few pavilions by the lake. There weren't many people, but you could still see some.

After all, the weather was still relatively hot, and many people were resting in their dormitories.

Qin Hao spotted Li Moying's figure and walked toward her.

She was sitting in a pavilion, staring blankly at the calm and waveless lake surface.

Qin Hao approached and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Moying snapped out of it when she heard the voice and turned her head, "Master, you've arrived. Here's your contract."

Qin Hao took it and glanced over, "Run into some trouble?"

Li Moying's face lacked her usual smile, looking rather troubled, "I'm fine, Master."

"Mmm, if you're fine, then go back and rest. Don't overthink."

Seeing that she didn't elaborate, Qin Hao didn't press further.

...

On his way back, Qin Hao received a phone call from Feng Xiangyi, "Mr. Qin, I think we're lacking a place for an office now."

Qin Hao: "Right, you can go look for it yourself, and then apply for funds from the headquarters' finance department."

"Okay. Also, regarding personnel issues, can I make decisions on the recruitment?"

"Yes, you're the vice-president of the Jianghai District. You can decide on these small matters."

That day, a massive earthquake hit the gaming world.

The God-level player joined the King team, significantly strengthening the team's power.

All the forums and Tieba were publicizing this news.

Li Jianjun had a hand in this. He was doing everything he could to boost Qin Hao's fame.

The effect was significant, and Qin Hao's fame was growing fast.

...

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was September 29th.

In the meantime, Huo Qiang hadn't caused him any more trouble,

and the Xinshang Square roast duck restaurant was running smoothly, with its performance steadily improving and daily turnover increasing every day.

The daily turnover had already broken through the one hundred thousand mark a few days ago.

Feng Xiangyi had also found an office location and recruited many staff members.

The Jianghai District division was gradually taking shape, and Qin Hao could implement his expansion plan in Jianghai City at any time.

Jiangshan had a few more new stores opening yesterday, with the company's strength growing rapidly.

His relationship with Du Wanrou was also progressing fast, just not taking that final step yet.

As for gaming, he would play with the King team members in the evening when he had time, and sometimes with the little witch and her two friends.

In the rankings, Qin Hao had already entered the top ten. At this point, his fame had reached over ninety million, and he was about to complete the sideline mission.

The National Day holiday was fast approaching, with the school starting their break tomorrow.

The holiday would last for seven days, and Qin Hao had already booked his train ticket.

He originally planned to go back with Du Wanrou, but she was going to the capital of Shuinan Province because her parents were there.

He had no choice but to book a high-speed rail ticket; there were no direct flights to Jiangshan, so he didn't book a flight.

That day, after class, Qin Hao received a call from an unfamiliar man. Judging by the voice, it was a middle-aged man.

"You're Qin Hao, right? I'm waiting for you in the guest room on the fifth floor of Building No. 2." After speaking, Li Xutian hung up.

In the past few days, he had specifically researched Qin Hao and was somewhat shocked to learn about his perfect score on the standardized exam. But then, after hearing the evaluation from his mentor, He Tingting, his expression darkened again.

He speculated that Qin Hao might have become arrogant after scoring full marks on the standardized exam, which might have led to his current behavior.

Once a moldable talent, what a pity it had gone awry!

Qin Hao was somewhat speechless. Who was this person with such a big attitude?
