Qin Hao hadn''t attended the grueling military training, instead he spent the day wandering outside, looking for a decent storefront.


    He was planning to start a roast duck restaurant in Jianghai City.


    After roaming around all day, he had found several good spots, but all were already leased out.


    Having had no success that day, he returned to the campus. It was just past six in the evening, and the day''s military training had already ended.


    Hoards of students emerged from the sports field, heading towards the cafeteria.


    Qin Hao walked along the painted pavement on the campus, contemplating the stores he had visited.


    He wondered which one was more suitable, or if he should continue looking elsewhere tomorrow.


    As he was deep in thought, walking forward with his head down, he saw a graceful figure standing in front of him, staring blankly at him.


    "Xiaoqing, what are you looking at?" a girl next to Xia Qing asked curiously.


    Xia Qing turned her head, speaking indifferently, "It''s nothing."


    Just as she was about to leave, several boys from her class approached.


    One of them asked Xia Qing, "Xia Qing, are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together?"


    Xia Qing replied, "No need."


    "It''s okay, everyone''s coming, I''ll treat," Cui Zhi spoke up.


    Upon hearing this, Xia Qing''s roommates'' eyes lit up.


    Cui Zhi was dressed in branded clothing that morning, exuding an aura of elegance that clearly marked him as a wealthy person.


    Just then, Qin Hao walked up to them. Sensing people in front of him, he looked up and planned to bypass them.


    However, after glancing, he paused, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Xiaoqing."


    Cui Zhi, hearing Qin Hao''s greeting to Xia Qing, felt uneasy. Who was this guy and what was his relation to Xia Qing?


    Xia Qing nodded, "You didn''t have military training?"


    Qin Hao replied, "No, just took a stroll outside."


    Suddenly, Xia Qing spoke up, "Oh, you mentioned dinner tonight, shall we go now?"


    Qin Hao paused for a moment, then noticing Cui Zhi and the others beside her, he understood the situation.


    He smiled and said, "Yeah, sure."


    Xia Qing exchanged a few words with her roommates, then followed Qin Hao, leaving Cui Zhi with a sour expression standing there.


    "Zhi, who is this kid? Should we teach him a lesson?" one of Cui Zhi''s companions asked.


    Cui Zhi coldly responded, "First, go to the cafeteria. After dinner, find out which department and class this guy is from."


    Xia Qing, feeling their stares, blushed slightly.


    Qin Hao was somewhat speechless, "Why keep staring? Haven''t you seen a beautiful woman before?"


    Wu Jun asked with a smile, "Big bro, is this your wife?"


    Qin Hao: "No, she''s a good friend of mine."


    Wang Yang Hua immediately said to Xia Qing, "Hello, I''m Wang Yang Hua, big bro''s close roommate."


    Xia Qing nodded slightly, "Hello, I''m Xia Qing."


    Sun Feng and the others also introduced themselves and then went to eat elsewhere.


    Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Your roommate is quite enthusiastic."


    Qin Hao was a bit embarrassed, it was clear to anyone that the fat guy was interested in her.


    "Ignore them, they''re always like this, let''s eat."


    At that moment, the food arrived, and Qin Hao quickly changed the subject.


    ...


    That evening, back at the dorm.


    The fat guy eagerly asked, "Hao, can you give me the contact info of the beauty you were dining with?"


    "Fatso, can''t you see, that girl likes our big bro," Zhao De reminded him.


    Fatso: "But big bro already has a girlfriend."


    Zhao De couldn''t help but say, "Fatso, get some self-awareness, okay? That beauty, even if she can''t get big bro,


    she definitely wouldn''t be interested in you. If she were interested in anyone, it would be me. Big bro, give me her contact info."


    Qin Hao thought the first part of his speech was okay, but the latter left him speechless, these two were really oddballs.


    After washing up, he went to bed, Sun Feng and the others didn''t play games either, as the day''s military training had been exhausting.


    The next morning they went back to military training, while Qin Hao went out to scout for stores again.


    So it went, during the day he scouted for stores and at night, he chatted with Du Wanrou.


    On the seventh day, Qin Hao took a taxi to a very crowded square in Bailing District.


    The square was called Xing''an Square, with another square across from it, though less crowded.


    Qin Hao was also impressed by the traffic here, then he went to the fifth floor of Xing''an Square to the Xing''an Real Estate Management Company.


    Upon reaching the fifth floor, he saw the reception at the front desk of Xing''an Real Estate Management Company.


    One of the receptionists smiled and asked, "Hello, are you looking for someone?"


    Qin Hao walked over and said, "I''m looking for the person in charge here."
