Chapter 230: Chapter 104: Huang Panpan, Keep Going Today Too! (Part 3)

If you truly understand it, many times, the disadvantages you encounter can even turn into advantages.

Kang Baohong continued, "Moreover, Boss Su has also devised an excellent marketing strategy that is sure to be a hit!"

Kang Yulian asked curiously, "What kind of marketing strategy?"

"It’s a business secret, I can’t reveal it to you now!"

Kang Baohong kept them in suspense.

"You brat, being all secretive, even hiding it from your aunt!"

Kang Yulian complained a bit and then smiled at Su Zelin, "Xiaosu, if you face any difficulties at the digital store, do let us know anytime. Uncle Dai and I will try our best to help, okay?"

Su Zelin smiled slightly, "Alright, thank you in advance, Auntie!"

"Oh, no need to be so polite with Auntie, come on, eat more dishes!"

"..."

After dinner, Su Zelin sat for a while at Vice Director Dai’s home before taking his leave.

On the way back to the dormitory, the ringtone of his Nokia 8210 rang.

He saw that it was a call from a junior schoolmate.

Every weekend, Huang Panpan would often call him, so Su Zelin was already used to it.

Moreover, the past two days, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, were not weekends, and Huang Panpan couldn’t make a call from school, so Su Zelin guessed she’d definitely call today, and sure enough.

He pressed the answer button, "Hey, Panpan."

"Senior!"

A sweet, syrupy voice, like honey, came through the phone, "Although Christmas is over, I still wanted to wish you a belated Merry Christmas!"

"Thanks, Panpan, Merry Christmas to you too!"

Su Zelin responded casually.

"Senior, did you receive the apples and gifts I sent you?"

Huang Panpan asked again.

"Yes, I received them yesterday."

Huang Panpan sent him a Christmas gift, which included not just apples but also a Christmas card and a music box.

"Ah, wasn’t it supposed to arrive on Christmas Eve?"

The junior schoolmate was a bit unhappy.

She had timed it, often asking Su Zelin how many days it typically took to receive a package, but she still miscalculated.

Even though the senior received it, being a day late and not on Christmas Eve felt less than perfect.

"That’s how the post office is; it’s good that it wasn’t lost."

Su Zelin chuckled.

They chatted for a bit, then Huang Panpan tentatively asked, "Senior, what plans did you have on Christmas Eve?"

"Hmm, went to see a high school classmate hosting a program."

Su Zelin responded ambiguously.

"That high school classmate, is it Senior Shiqing?"

Back then, Qin Shiqing was a frequent host at the school’s art gala, so Huang Panpan immediately thought of her.

Su Zelin said nothing.

"Understood, Senior, but it’s okay; I was prepared for this."

The junior schoolmate remained especially calm, knowing that she was the one ’intruding.’

Learning that Su Zelin only went to watch the art gala, this outcome was better than she imagined.

Huang Panpan even thought they would go on a date alone.

Senior Shiqing is one step ahead of me now, but once I get accepted into the Financial College, I’ll be closer to the senior, giving me an advantage!

The junior schoolmate thought to herself.

She didn’t dwell on the topic for too long, "By the way, Senior, I have some good news to report!"

"Oh, what is it?"

Su Zelin asked casually.

"My Chinese exam improved again this time; I’m now ranked thirty-sixth in the class!"

Huang Panpan’s tone was filled with excitement.

"Oh, that’s really great!"

The delinquent encouraged her.

Thirty-sixth place wasn’t an outstanding result; each class at Jianglan Second High School had about sixty students, so this rank was just in the middle to lower section.

But considering the junior schoolmate’s previous results were at the bottom of the class, improving by more than twenty ranks in just a few months was quite significant.

"Hehe, Panpan still has to thank the senior. You wrote many encouraging words to me in your letters. I’ve kept each letter well, and whenever I’m tired or weary of studying, I’ll take out your letters to read, and then I feel full of strength again! I know you also really hope I get into the Financial College and wait for me over there, right?"

Su Zelin felt embarrassed.

I don’t; I just hope you study hard!

Huang Panpan added, "By the way, I also received the photo you took at the artificial lake, still just as handsome!"

The junior schoolmate had asked for Su Zelin’s photo several times; the delinquent finally compromised and sent one back in a reply.

"I’ve put it in my wallet as a talisman, so if I encounter troublemakers again, I’ll take it out and tell them this is my boyfriend, and they won’t dare to be rude. As long as I have this photo with me, even if the senior isn’t by my side, I still feel a sense of security, hehe!"

Su Zelin: "..."

Do you really think I’m the unrivaled force in Jianglan, capable of scaring all the troublemakers with just one photo? You’re overthinking it.

The conversation gradually stalled, and the delinquent coughed lightly, diverting, "By the way, Panpan, did you watch the evening news today? After eight years of effort, our country finally completed the first high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, achieving criticality, becoming one of the few countries mastering this technology, making our motherland stronger and stronger; I’m so proud of it, hahaha..."

Capping it off with lighthearted banter, he finally shifted the topic away. After a while, a middle-aged female voice called out to the junior schoolmate, "Panpan, Teacher Li is here!"

"Senior, I have to start my tutoring session now, let’s chat again later, bye-bye!"

To successfully get into the Financial College and catch up with Su Zelin, the junior schoolmate was now very diligent in her studies, not only making progress in school but also attending tutoring sessions every weekend.

"Alright, talk to you later, bye-bye!"

Jianglan City.

Huang Panpan hung up the phone and took out a small, feminine wallet. Upon opening it, she saw the photo of Su Zelin he had sent, kept in the transparent pocket.

The delinquent stood with hands in pockets, still looking cool, but with a lazy smile on his face.

In his past life, Su Zelin almost never smiled at Huang Panpan, feeling he was too cold and heartless towards the junior schoolmate.

So when taking this picture, the delinquent thought long and hard, finally deciding to smile.

The junior schoolmate looked at the picture, her eyes filled with determination, "The senior is waiting for you at the Financial College, Huang Panpan, let’s keep working hard today!"

She put the wallet away and walked out of the room, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Teacher Li!"

"No worries, let’s begin!"

"Alright!"
