Chapter 100: Qi Yun: Another One Competing for Favor!
After renting the storefront, Qi Yun immediately contacted a renovation company. This time, he couldnt hire the same company from Spring City because it was too far away and inconvenient.
Fortunately, he still had the previous renovation blueprints, although he couldnt copy them exactly. But by showing them to the company, they could grasp the style and make it work.
After all, Qi Yun could establish himself in the capital. It was just expensive. With the rent and renovation costs, Qi Yun spent nearly two million yuan, more than double what he had spent in Spring City. But he also received a rebate of six million yuan.
Qi Yun now had savings of around thirteen to fourteen million yuan in and out.
Looking at the amount in his account, he had an idea.
We are buying a house!
The property prices in the capital had already started skyrocketing, last year averaging around 14,000 yuan per square meter, and this year it was approaching 17,000 to 18,000 yuan, even reaching 20,000 yuan.
But Qi Yun knew that a decent location would easily cost over 100,000 yuan in another ten years!
Qi Yun would buy more properties if he didnt have the system. In these ten years, few assets in China could grow as fast as real estate.
But with the system, Qi Yun didnt want to engage in speculative housing anymore.
It was tiring, and he was a young man suffocated by rising housing prices in his past life.
He had no power to control the price increase. However, not making this money would be a waste of his abilities.
Now Qi Yun wanted to buy a house for Lian Qingxue.
It would bring rebates!
It would be profitable!
But how could he find a reason for Lian Qingxue to accept it? Qi Yun scratched his head, finding it a bit difficult.
It wasnt easy!
Qi Yun conversed with the renovation company in the new storefront while Lian Qingxue stood by.
There was an unexpected guest beside them, Professor Lian Zhongyong. He held a small box in his hand and said, Qingxue, I bought these little cakes on the way. Want to try?
These days, Professor Lian frequently came to the shop, not doing anything in particular, just bringing all sorts of food to feed Lian Qingxue.
Today, he came again.
Qi Yun was on high alert. How did it feel like he had just escaped from Qi Yuns mother, and now someone else was competing for a favor?
Lian Qingxue wanted to refuse, feeling embarrassed to eat the professors food every day. But as soon as she shook her head, Qi Yuns mouth twitched.
Here it comes!
Sure enough, Professor Lian showed a particularly disappointed expression, put away the cakes in his hand, lowered his head, and walked towards the door with slumped shoulders.
He muttered to himself, Im getting old. The cakes I bring Qingxue dont like
From the back, he looked like an abandoned stray dog.
Qi Yun:
Professor Lian, I Ill eat it, Lian Qingxue said immediately.
Professor Lian looked up, his smile radiant, like a face change.
Come! Its delicious! Its an old and famous brand in the capital! It has been in business for thirty years and is always busy! He handed over the cake with a beaming smile, eagerly watching Lian Qingxue eat it.

Qi Yun looked at Professor Lian with eyes that said only two words: Drama king!
Professor Lian seemed to understand, and instead of getting angry, he revealed a satisfied smile towards Qi Yun.
Having figured out some aspects of Lian Qingxues personality, he knew she had a soft spot for older people.
Whenever he played the pitiful card, Lian Qingxue would compromise.
It was a foolproof strategy!
Humph!
Trying to please Qi Yun?
Lian Zhongyong had come up with a new method.
No need to endure any more!
Seeing Lian Zhongyong provoking him, Qi Yun smirked and said, Qingxue, I also want some cake!
Huh? Lian Qingxue was shocked but obediently took the cake and walked toward Qi Yun.
Lian Zhongyong: I bought that for Qingxue!
Shut up!
To his surprise, not only did Qi Yun stop, but he also took it a step further!
He watched as Lian Qingxue handed him the side she hadnt bitten into.
Qi Yun even added a touch of helplessness: I want to eat the side youve bitten!
His acting skills were astounding, reminiscent of a few green tea bitches from his past life.
Upon hearing this, Lian Qingxue couldnt help but feel extremely shy.
There were so many people around! But what infuriated Lian Zhongyong was that Lian Qingxue listened to this brat.
She turned the cake in a direction that showed the side with her bite mark to Qi Yun.
Not satisfied, Qi Yun even coquettishly, said, I want you to feed me! Lian Zhongyong heard this and clutched his chest.
It hurts!
Qi Yun ate the cake that Lian Qingxue fed him and smiled at Lian Zhongyong.
Are you competing for a favor?
I, Qi Yun, am the favored one!
I have the affection of three thousand in one!
I wouldnt dare compete with Mother. Shes on the empress level.
But anyone else, I fear no one!
In Jingcheng, the emperor was distant.
I, Qi Yun, am the boss!
Little did Lian Zhongyong know that as he observed Qi Yuns triumphant expression, a decision formed in his heart.
If Qingxue accepted him and became the acknowledged grandfather, he would give this brat a severe lesson.
Teach him a lesson to the extreme!
It would infuriate him!
Although Professor Lian seemed to compete for a favor, Qi Yun had to admit that his arrival had been helpful to him and Lian Qingxue in many ways.
Especially after the renovation began two days ago, Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue didnt have time to supervise the team.
Military training was about to start. Professor Lian volunteered to watch over them, even though Qi Yun felt that the old man didnt like him very much.
But Qi Yun trusted Lian Qingxues heart. He didnt hesitate and handed everything over to Professor Lian.
The military training at Jingcheng University wasnt long, only two weeks. But because it was in September, the summer break hadnt ended, and the weather was still hot, especially under the scorching sun in the capital.
Military training under such circumstances was undoubtedly uncomfortable. Qi Yun thought it would be cool to go to a barber shop the day before military training and shave his slightly long hair into a crew cut.
When he returned to the dormitory, the military training uniforms and shoes had already been distributed.
Wang Jun and the others were trying them on.
Wang Jun wrinkled his brows when he put on the uniform top.
It stinks! He smelled a peculiar odor from the clothes, giving him a feeling of something that hadnt been properly ventilated after production. It made him uncomfortable.
Qi Yuns other two roommates were also trying on their uniforms. They werent as spoiled as Wang Jun but werent particularly satisfied.
Although the clothes came in different sizes, they didnt fit well, probably due to the design.
They needed to be more fitting.
Sheng Huai, who had a sturdy build, looked incredibly tight
Zhu Qian was a bit thinner, so his uniform looked empty.
In short, it didnt look good.
These clothes are so ugly! Wang Jun frowned as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Qi Yun saw a set of military training clothes lying on his bed and tried it on. He felt it was a bit ill-fitting, but overall, it was alright.
Just a little stuffy.
While Wang Jun and the others were criticizing the military training uniforms in front of the mirror, they all agreed that it wasnt because they werent handsome enough but that the uniforms didnt bring out their handsomeness.
Suddenly, they noticed Qi Yun.
Wang Jun:
Sheng Huai:
Zhu Qian:
Qi Yun: ???
He felt a dangerous vibe from his roommates gazes. It seemed like they wanted to do something to him.
After a long silence, Zhu Qians face turned heavy.
If we go out with Qi Yun, would others think its not because of the clothes
Wang Jun sadly nodded. The same uniform, Qi Yun and themselves had such a big difference.
Qi Yun: Military uniform, crew cut.
Stiff, handsome, sunny.
Himself?
Sloppy, completely sloppy.
What will people think when they see him?
Ive decided, Qi Yun. Stay away from me as much as possible from now on!
Ahem, for the unity of our dormitory, I propose to expel Qi Yun from our dormitory during military training temporarily! Sheng Huai continued.
Brush, brush, brush.
Three people raised their hands unanimously.
Alright, three in favor, one abstention, the motion passes with a high vote!
Qi Yun:
The next day after the military training uniforms were distributed, the military training began. Their training ground was a large open-air football field.
On the first day of military training, the sun was high in the sky, and there was no shade on the football field.
Qi Yun stood in the formation, feeling only one thingheat.
It was truly scorching.
In his previous life, Qi Yun hadnt attended school in the capital, so he never imagined that September could be this hot!
Especially with the dry air. Every breath Qi Yun took felt like breathing fire. The young instructor assigned to their military training was also quite young, almost the same age as them.
Perhaps because of this, he was afraid he couldnt control these top students from Jingcheng University, so he was extremely strict with Qi Yun and the others.
Today was the first day of military training, and they had already stood in formation for half an hour.
The system had improved Qi Yuns physical fitness, so he could bear it.
He saw a girl in front of the formation on the verge of collapsing after standing for half an hour. She couldnt even stand properly when the half-hour mark arrived.
Her classmates feared she would suffer from heatstroke under the scorching sun and dragged her to a shady area.
The instructor initially wanted to give them a taste of his authority!
The first-year students from the School of Mathematics couldnt help but feel a bit hopeless.
It was only the first day!
How would they endure the days to come?
At that moment, several boys walked past them, each holding a watermelon.
It was cold and refreshing!
