147: Rare leisure time

Actually, Xia Mengling's guess was right; Shen Qian did it to settle the accounts with her.

For this girl whose eyes were full of him, Shen Qian felt a sliver of guilt, but only a sliver, because one day in the future, they would definitely break up.

There was no other reason; Shen Qian being with her was done through schemes. In Shen Qian's view, the way it started was wrong; he used fake love to exchange for sincere love.

But this damn world is just like that; often those who give sincerely end up with no good results.

But again, he was a firm person.

Having accepted the system and chosen this path, he would keep walking until he reached his goal.

If he hurt a girl's heart while still thirsting for his own happiness, that would be far too greedy.

And settling the accounts was the best method.

Soon, Xia Mengling posted on her moments and urged Shen Qian to like it.

In an empty lot, a red car and a blue car were parked there, captioned: "Red and blue make a couple."

Shen Qian gave it a like, then put away his phone and went to the mixer with his three roommates.

Knowing Shen Qian's strength, the senior sisters were far more open this time than during the last mixer. This left the three roommates in a daze, almost thinking they were playing in a business KTV.

When the three walked out of the KTV, they actually all had lipstick marks on their faces.

"Is... is this still a damn mixer?"

Chang Heng was in a daze, and Wei Mingtian next to him was the same. Clearly none of them had drunk alcohol, but their heads felt dizzy.

"It's a mixer, but I really admire you guys. Those girls' mouths were right in front of your faces, and you actually managed to hold back from kissing them."

"We could kiss them?"

Shen Qian shrugged.

"I don't know if we could or not. After all, even consent for going to bed can be withdrawn nowadays, let alone kissing.

But next time, you can drink a few more glasses with each other. That way, even if you kiss, neither side might remember. In the end, just deny it to the death."

"I knew I could learn things from following you! But Third Brother, where did you get all these tricks?

Don't tell me the first sentence you learned after being born was 'Wanna hook up?'"

"Get lost. I'm just more studious. Why do you think I'm learning French?

It's because France is the birthplace of scumbags. I traced it back to the source and found that our so-called scumbag techniques are just leftovers from French men. We're several versions behind.

Although cultures and regions differ, the things between men and women are all the same. Behind human nature, everything is as fleeting as shifting clouds."

"Holy crap, I was wondering why you were learning French for no reason when it seemed useless. So you were waiting for this!"

"No choice. To be a qualified scumbag, one needs to crush the current version of girls in both theory and practice."

"Hard to imagine, Third Brother, what on earth have you been through?"

"Nothing much... I just want to be a scumbag."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, the three roommates didn't ask further.

As for the three in Ni Zixin's dorm, they were indeed proactive today, but what did that have to do with him?

He was roommates with the three in his dorm, not their nanny. He wouldn't necessarily even take care of them, let alone these unrelated people.

As for future matters, we'll talk about them later.

On the weekend, Shen Qian had a rare moment of leisure. This week he didn't agree to a date with Xia Mengling, nor did he go out with any other woman.

Instead, he walked alone into an office building in the suburbs, where he had rented an office.

"Mr. Qian, you're here."

Seeing Shen Qian push the door and enter, the person in the office immediately stood up. The man was thin and frail; the weather had turned cool, yet he was only wearing a single layer of clothing.

"How is the task I gave you coming along?"

"The statistics are basically complete. Currently, we've counted 12 households. To maintain basic living security, 20,000 yuan a year per household is enough.

So the expenditure this time will be 240,000 yuan, barring any surprises."

"Hmm, did you do field research?"

"I did. In these 12 households, either the father has passed away and the mother is working away from home, or there are only elderly people at home. There are no slackers; they genuinely need help.

It's just, Mr. Qian, there's one thing I don't understand."

"Speak."

"Aren't we doing a good deed? Why not publicize it? Let more kind-hearted people in society get involved."

"Are there few kind-hearted people in this society? Then why are those who shouldn't go hungry still hungry, and those who shouldn't be unable to afford school still unable to go?

When you and your daughter were in the hospital, did anyone help you?"

The man shook his head.

"My strength may be small, but it's focused on precision, making sure the money falls into the hands of those who need it. I don't want any twists and turns in the middle, or to mingle with some petty, calculating types while trying to do good.

During the break, I'll visit these families you mentioned. You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

"Of course not, Mr. Qian. You are my daughter's savior. I'd give my life to you without question, so how could I possibly... because of this money..."

The man's tone grew slightly agitated.

"That's fine then. Remember, if there's anywhere that needs money, tell me. You're working for me, and I won't mistreat you.

But these are the hopes of one family after another. I don't want any mistakes."

"Understood, Mr. Qian. Rest assured!"

"I'll transfer the money later. For the 20,000 yuan, it's best to distribute it in five installments. That should resolve some urgent needs.

Additionally, this 2,000 yuan is a bonus. The weather is getting cold, buy more clothes."

After Shen Qian left, he went to another office building. There were two or three people in that office doing similar things.

Shen Qian gave each of them an extra 2,000 yuan as well. After all, these people also had difficult family situations.

After a day of walking around, Shen Qian spent over 700,000 yuan. Watching the 30 million in his mobile account decrease by over 700,000.

Shen Qian smiled slightly.

"Taken from the people, used for the people. It's quite good."

Just as he was feeling relaxed, a message popped up.

"Xixi wants to confess to you. What should I do?"

The sender was naturally Xie Wan. These days, Du Xixi had been running with Shen Qian, and her overall mental state and complexion had improved significantly.

During the school's physical test two days ago, the girls in their class were all panting, but Xie Wan and Du Xixi seemed exceptionally relaxed.

This was the first time since starting university, or even in a long time, that Du Xixi and Xie Wan had tied in something. The girl was in a great mood and felt it was all thanks to Shen Qian.

"No wonder she's been looking at me strangely while running these past two days."

"If she wants to confess, let her. Her state of mind is adjusted quite well now; a failed confession shouldn't be too much of a blow to her, right?"

"But I don't want her to be sad. A-Qian, just for my sake, why don't you say yes to her?"
