Chapter 205 Because You're Handsome
Although there was nothing I could do about that top-quality Hetian jade pebble.
However, since he had already come all this way, Lin Chen did not leave empty-handed.
If you can't afford the best quality items, start with some scraps to practice with.
In the end, Lin Chen took some inexpensive materials such as white Yunnan jade and Xiuyan jade, and they were all small items.
However, even these things cost him over 100,000 yuan.
Even at this price, it was only because of Old Master Su's connections that we got an internal price; otherwise, it would be normal to double the price if sold outside.
This jade is even more expensive than burning money! It's freaking too expensive!
After giving Manager Han a few more instructions and asking him to keep the materials for him for two weeks, Lin Chen left the store.
Upon reaching the door, Su Yao seemed to want to try again and said, "Lin Chen, if you don't have enough money, I can help you with some."
Lin Chen glanced at her and said, "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but the fabric I've taken a liking to is for my girlfriend as a gift, so it's only meaningful if I pay for it myself."
"Okay then... Your girlfriend is so lucky."
Su Yao nodded repeatedly, seemingly having come to terms with the situation.
However... whether she has truly come to terms with it is anyone's guess.
Lin Chen didn't want to say anything more; feelings are something that can't be forced.
It's true that he was reborn, but there's no rule that says reborn people have to have a harem.
He's narrow-minded and can't let go of any more people.
Carrying his belongings, Lin Chen returned to school and made his way back to his dormitory.
After putting away the expensive materials he had bought, Lin Chen went straight to the library.
It's less than a month until Chen Xiaoxiao's birthday.
To earn enough money to buy materials during this period, Lin Chen only has one way to think of right now.
That means getting the EDA patents redeemed as soon as possible.
Lin Chen initially agreed to use EDA as a condition to persuade Meng Lan to agree to his relationship with Chen Xiaoxiao.
But he never said that he would give this EDA to Meng Lan for free.
For Chen Xiaoxiao's sake, I won't ask for more. At least the price of a piece of jade is not too much to ask for, right?
By the way, speaking of redeeming EDA, there's another question...
Upon arriving at the library, Lin Chen had barely entered when the librarian exclaimed in surprise:
"Lin Chen? Aren't you freshmen doing military training?"
"Oh, my military training is over. My instructor said I was too good to need to go back for more training," Lin Chen said honestly.
"hiss……"
The librarian was stunned for a moment, unsure whether Lin Chen was telling the truth or not.
Was he allowed to skip military training because of his outstanding performance?
This was the first time he had heard such a reason in all the years he had been at Longyan University of Science and Technology.
Lin Chen first picked up a book from the bookshelf, then found a seat, enjoying the air conditioning, and mentally shouted:
"Natasha, are you there?"
"Comrade, is there anything I can do for you?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind, "I want to confirm whether I can claim the reward for Task Two ahead of schedule?"
To redeem EDA, Lin Chen is currently missing two things: Engineering Level and Academic Excellence Points.
The former is just one step away from the goal of LV2.
But the latter has a much bigger problem.
Because of that plane accident, Lin Chen's academic points were almost wiped out. Although they have recovered somewhat in recent days, they are only a little over 200, which is still half of the 500 needed to exchange for EDA.
Fortunately, he still has the trump card of Mission Two, but the only problem is that the reward for this mission will not be settled until two months after the mission is accepted.
Lin Chen could only hope that the mission could be completed ahead of schedule; otherwise, he would have to find another way.
"Of course you can, but comrade, I think you should weigh the pros and cons carefully. Ending the mission early will allow you to get the reward immediately, but you will lose more benefits in the future."
Just like retreating early on the battlefield, although it may preserve some strength, it may also cause you to miss out on a greater victory...
"That's fine."
Before Natasha could finish speaking, Lin Chen grinned.
So be it, as long as the problem can be solved.
Lin Chen was planning to quickly grind books to accumulate enough experience points, but his plan was interrupted by something else.
Counselor Xia Jieli asked him to go to her office as soon as possible.
Lin Chen had no choice but to put the book, which he hadn't even turned a few pages of, back down and hurriedly moved on to another place.
After meeting Xia Jieli, he learned that he had been selected as the freshman representative.
After the military training is over, the freshmen will have a performance and opening ceremony.
Lin Chen will be going on stage to speak.
Moreover, there was a welcome performance that evening, and Lin Chen was specifically chosen to be the host of the event.
Upon hearing this arrangement, Lin Chen frowned.
Being a representative of the new students is fine, but as a host, he simply doesn't have the time.
After all, the freshman representatives only need to prepare a speech, but the host also needs to prepare the script for the regular gala and rehearse.
Where would he find the time?
"Teacher Xia, can I not be the host?"
Xia Jieli shrugged helplessly: "Lin Chen, this is not something I can refuse. It was Liu Qingqing, the vice president of the student council, who specifically requested you to be the host."
After a pause, Xia Jieli leaned closer and whispered in Lin Chen's ear, "This Liu Qingqing has some connections; the teacher wouldn't dare refuse her on your behalf."
Has connections? What do I care about connections? Can I be forced to be a host if I don't want to?
Lin Chen wanted to say these words, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say them.
"Teacher Xia, I don't even know Liu Qingqing. Why does she want me to be the host?"
Xia Jieli looked Lin Chen up and down and smiled, "Maybe... it's because you're handsome?"
Lin Chen said smugly, "I admit that, but I really have no interest."
Xia Jieli rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain. She had never seen such a shameless student as Lin Chen.
"In short, you should politely decline the offer from the student council yourself. There's really nothing the teacher can do to help you."
Seeing Xia Jieli lying down, Lin Chen had no choice but to go and make the trip himself.
After having Xia Jieli make a phone call to inform him, Lin Chen set off for the student council.
To be honest, this was the first time Lin Chen, who had lived two lives, had ever been to a place like the student council.
He had always found it strange that there was any need for a student council.
Since they are students, they should just focus on their studies. Why bother creating another organization within the school to manage students?
What use is this incongruous thing other than adding a few lines to the resumes of student union officers?
The student union at Longyan University of Technology is quite formal, occupying a large office.
When Lin Chen arrived, there were quite a few people inside.
Judging from their conversation, it seemed like they were preparing for the welcome party.
"Are you Lin Chen?"
Upon seeing Lin Chen enter, a boy immediately came forward and sized him up.
However, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes that Lin Chen couldn't quite understand.
"That's me. I'm looking for Liu Qingqing, the senior student in the student council."
"Wait a moment."
The boy gave a curt order and walked to the back of the office.
A moment later, Vice President Liu Qingqing came out.
"You must be Lin Chen? You're quite handsome, with a good appearance."
Liu Qingqing wore a designer dress, her figure was elegant, and her fair face had beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
She's considered a rare beauty at Long University of Science and Technology.
She has a somewhat aloof demeanor, radiating an innate arrogance.
Considering Xia Jieli's previous statement that she had some connections...
Is this guy really acting like a princess?
Although they were both princesses, Lin Chen still preferred Chen Xiaoxiao's approachable demeanor...
Of course, her figure is also...
