Chapter 283 Basketball Game
Qin Hao had a feeling that if he did not go, Fan Ruobing could sit there watching him all night long.
She was a strange person, a very strange person indeed.
The fatty, Zhao De, and Chen Ping were dumbfounded. Damn, was the second brother's luck with the ladies too freaking strong?
Qin Hao got dressed and walked out with Fan Ruobing. Along the way, many male students looked at them with disbelieving expressions.
How could such a beautiful woman run into the men's dorm?
On the way, Fan Ruobing didn't speak, and Qin Hao didn't know what to say either. The two walked silently to the society office building.
Arriving at the studio, it was already empty.
Fan Ruobing fetched paper, ink, and brushes, and said, "Paint."
Qin Hao asked in surprise, "Paint what?"
Fan Ruobing: "The one you painted that day, I really like that painting."
Qin Hao stood there and began to paint, while she watched closely by his side.

The tides of time are easy to wane, a bit of heat hard to retain.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October. The weather grew cooler, and autumn was in full swing.
In recent days, eight more Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurants appeared in Jianghai City. Their rapid expansion caught the attention of many in Jianghai.
The downfall of Delicious Duck Neck in Jianghai City demonstrated Jiangshan Roasted Duck's strength and potential.
At the Jiangshan Base, Kang Youyi and others had already renovated fifteen storefronts in DL City, Shuinan Province.
At the same time, promotional activities had been underway for three to four days, and on the first of November, all fifteen storefronts would open for business simultaneously.
Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant now sold not only roasted duck but also duck necks, duck wings, and Xinghui Wine from the Jiangshan Company's range.
Xinghui Wine won first place at the new wine tasting event, beating all major wine companies' new products in taste, price, and health benefits.
The victory of Xinghui Wine brought a lot of liquor distributors to Xinghui Winery.
Although the quantity required for the first order was not large, it opened up a bit of the market.
In the beginning, Xinghui Wine sold quite a lot, especially due to the brand effect of Jiangshan Roasted Duck.
Whether it was roasted duck, duck necks, or duck wings, all were loved by customers, who tended to trust new products introduced by Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company.
Sometimes, this kind of intangible reputation is very important.
In just a few days, Xinghui Wine had taken up nearly half of the liquor market for Jiangshan.
This success was entirely reliant on the quality of Xinghui Wine and the operation of the marketing department.
The Dayuan Group suffered a targeted hit. Previously, Da Yuan Wine's daily sales exceeded ten thousand bottles, but now the daily sales had dropped to less than five thousand.
The emergence of Xinghui Wine dealt a heavy blow to the Dayuan Group.
Many business tycoons in Jiangshan were shocked. At this rate, it was very possible that Dayuan Group would be crushed by Qin Hao's Xinghui Wine.
Qin Hao was too terrifying. Jiangshan Roasted Duck was researched by him, and Xinghui Wine was said to be his research as well.
How could everything he worked on be so freaking awesome? Was this the abnormality of a monster who scored full marks on the unified examination?
Before, the country had seen many toppers in the unified examination, but none so monstrous, right?

Feibao Security Company was still in the midst of intense training. After Li Bao announced generous salaries, many signed up.
Many people had an eagerness to excel. From the beginning of recruitment to now, thousands had tried it.
But now, only a handful of them could persist with the training.
Every day, many people visited Feibao Security Company, but few could carry on.
According to the requirements in the handbook provided by Qin Hao, the training was to be brutally intense for three months, and even Li Bao had chickened out. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
He felt that not even the special forces in the military had such fierce training.
Now, Li Bao felt that Li Yang and his fellows had a more formidable aura, their skills several times sharper than before.
Training hadn't even finished yet. If it had, Li Bao couldn't imagine just how terrifying these people would be.
On the other side, Xinghai High-tech Co., Ltd. had already selected their plot of land, which spanned hundreds of acres, with an initial payment of eight hundred million in funds.
Rutong Engineering Company had already started construction, deploying all their manpower and equipment in an effort to complete the work within the shortest time possible while ensuring quality.
This huge factory had caught the attention of many business tycoons in Jianghai.
They wanted to know what this company did, but they couldn't dig up any information.
They couldn't even find out who the person behind the scenes was.
Although they couldn't find out, many could tell that this company was no ordinary one, and the person behind it must have an intimidating identity.
Chang Jing was not only supervising the construction of the factory, but she was also busy with some equipment.
Because many of the machines on the production line needed to be imported.

The development of the online media guild Fatso managed was also doing well. The number of streamers had already surpassed a hundred, and the guild's daily income had reached nearly one hundred thousand.
In the evenings these recent days, after teaching Fan Ruobing how to paint, Qin Hao would watch Xia Qing's live streams and help her snatch the weekly stars.
Xia Qing's live streaming popularity had stabilized at eighty or ninety thousand viewers, occasionally breaking a hundred thousand.
Even without Qin Hao spending money, her daily income was already over fifty thousand, plus Qin Hao's lavish spending of several tens of millions.
This month, her income was close to ten million—a truly terrifying figure.
...
Today, just after nine in the morning, there was a semi-final basketball game at the indoor basketball court of Jianghai University.
Qin Hao's classmates had all come here, and Zhao De and the others who were about to compete were warming up.
Their opponents were Class 2 of the Sports Academy, known for their strong basketball skills and undefeated record.
Qin Hao's class had also never lost, mainly thanks to Zhao De's strong prowess.
There were many who came to watch the game, lovers of basketball, both male and female.
"Qin Hao, the substitute player, finally showed up today," Ning Yao said, sitting next to him.
Qin Hao, "Just dropping by to sit for a while."
Xu Siyao, sitting beside them, said with a smile, "Qin Hao, why don't you play for a bit later? We'll cheer for you."
"No need. I'm just here for the excitement."
"Don't let him go on the court. It would be an embarrassment for our class. Don't worry, with me here, we can't lose. Class 2 of the Sports Academy isn't that strong," Zhao De said, confident in himself.
Clad in a red jersey, Huo Qiang walked out from behind. Seeing Qin Hao made him feel uncomfortable.
He knew Qin Hao was skilled, but surely you can't hit me just for speaking a bit of truth, can he? So he felt somewhat fearless.
"Huo Qiang, the important thing about the competition is to take part, it's not about losing face," Ning Yao chastised him.
Huo Qiang chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, "The class president is right, it's not shameful."
Qin Hao gave him a nonchalant glance, scaring Huo Qiang into hurrying onto the basketball court, no longer daring to speak here.
The match began shortly, and from the start, it was close, with the score fluctuating between both sides.
But by the third quarter, the Sports Academy started to exert their strength, and the gap between the teams began to show, with the score gradually pulling apart.
The athletes from the Sports Academy had superior physical fitness and skill level. Aside from Zhao De, who was still doing alright, Huo Qiang and the others were simply being outplayed.
At that moment, a player from Class 2 of the Sports Academy, holding the ball beyond the three-point line, faced Huo Qiang's sweaty defense. With a feint maneuver, he left Huo Qiang sprawling on the ground, then with a look of disdain, he easily scored a three-pointer.
The score now stood at 81:101, Qin Hao's class trailing by a full twenty points.
Laughter came from the Sports Academy's Class 2. Huo Qiang became visibly frustrated and cursed, "Laughing at what? Idiots."
"M*therf*cker, playing so trash and still cursing," retorted a player from Class 2 of the Sports Academy.
"How can you still have the face to play with such terrible skills? Worthless trash."
