Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

"Lin Qianshu is here too? Wait, what are you doing here...?"

"As you can see, please take a photo."

"Oh."

Perhaps because Yukino Yukinoshita spoke so matter-of-factly, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't ask any further questions and simply pressed the shutter button for her.

After taking the photos, Hiratsuka Shizuka handed the camera back to Yukinoshita and looked at Hayashi Chiki, asking, "Is it just the two of you?"

“Just the two of us,” Lin Qianshu replied.

"Dating?"

"That's it."

"Sure, you kid."

They've only known each other for a semester, and he already managed to get Yukino to go out with him alone, and they even took a picture together. It seems like Yukino was the one who took the initiative.

Ugh... It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others. Lin Qianshu is making great strides, while I can't even see anyone. Ugh... I really want to get married.

"Just average."

Lin Qianshu waved his hand modestly, indicating that he still had to practice.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more outrageous, Yukinoshita coughed to interrupt their nonsense after checking the group photo. She didn't refute the claim of a date, but instead asked, "Where's the teacher? Is he alone?"

“Uh…” Hiratsuka Shizuka’s smile froze for a moment, then she stammered, “N-no, I…I came out with my friend.”

She's really not suited to lying.

Yukinoshita and Hayashi Chiki had the same thought at the same time.

"That……"

Seeing that Yukinoshita was about to say something more, Hiratsuka Shizuka pretended to take out her phone, using the alarm instead of the ringtone. After saying a few casual words, she said to Yukinoshita and Hayashi Chiki, "My friend is looking for me. I'll be going now. No need to see me off."

Without waiting for their reply, he ran out of the exhibition hall as if fleeing and disappeared into the crowd.

Yukino handed the camera in her hand to Lin Qianshu, showing him the photos, and said thoughtfully, "Teacher, she must be on a blind date."

"Hmm, looks like my blind date stood me up."

"A little pitiful." ×2

Chapter 115 Hikigaya, you don't want Komachi to...

As it turned out, Hiratsuka Shizuka's matchmaking plan was far from ideal.

Just a few days after their parting at Chiba Zoo, Lin Qianshu met Yuihama again at a karaoke bar she had chosen, and unsurprisingly, she was still single.

"Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka?"

"Lin Qianshu...it's you again...are you all alone?"

"No, Hikigaya, Yuihama and the others are here too."

Lin Qianshu shook her head, then noticed the drink in his hand and asked, "Where's the teacher?"

"My mouth is a little dry from singing, so I came out to get a drink."

"one person?"

"Hmm...alone." (trembling voice)

"Then...would the teacher like to come over here?"

Because Hiratsuka Shizuka looked so pitiful, and it just so happened that we met, and because Hiratsuka Shizuka usually had a good relationship with everyone present, Lin Qianshu took the initiative to extend an invitation.

"Although I'm glad you invited me, I'd rather not. I want to relieve some stress by myself."

"Adults do need a space where they can be alone."

"You know it very well."

After saying that, Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Lin Qianshu on the shoulder, and then, as if remembering something, said to him, "Do you remember I said before that I wanted to organize a hiking trip?"

"I remember." Lin Qianshu nodded.

During the period around the time of the first regular exam in her second year of high school, Shizuka Hiratsuka had mentioned organizing a club trip, but later, due to a mishap during the workplace visit, she had to clean up the mess, and with many other things to do afterward, she temporarily put it on hold.

Now that this matter has been brought up again, there must be some plan behind it.

"When you go back later, you can mention it to Yuihama and the others so they can be prepared. I'll also confirm the exact time of departure in the next few days," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

Does everyone have to go?

"It depends on personal preference. Oh, I'll take care of Hachiman. I'll bring Komachi along, so he won't refuse. Also, don't worry about expenses, because this club trip is actually on a volunteer basis, and someone will help reimburse your food and lodging." Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fist, seemingly prepared to use force.

To deal with stubborn individuals like Hachiman Hikigaya, a heavy blow is necessary.

As for Lin Qianshu, Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't worried at all, because she knew very well that as long as Yukino went down, the boy would definitely go.

Come to think of it, when this guy told me he wanted to join a club that could help others, could it be that he had his eye on Yukinoshita since then?

Hiss... It's terrifying to think about.

But then she thought, why was she worrying so much? Although Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't find a boyfriend, she had a good eye for people. She knew very well that Lin Qianshu wasn't a bad person. If he could really get together with Yukinoshita, it would be a good thing.

Besides, if the two of them really aren't a good match, there are plenty of people who are more anxious than her. As far as Hiratsuka Shizuka knows, Yukino's older sister, Haruno, already knows about Hayashi Chiki's existence, and she even helped with the Service Club's activities this time. Since the other party is willing to play matchmaker, there's not much she can say.

Lin Qianshu returned to the private room, put down the glass full of drinks in her hand, and began to talk to everyone about the club activities.

"Can I not go?" Hachiman asked, as expected.

For him, the goal for this summer vacation is to stay home as much as possible.

Summer vacation, summer vacation, the reason for the vacation is because the weather is too hot. Hikigaya is definitely not happy about going out to do club activities that only "normies" do during this season.

"In principle, it's voluntary, but for Hachiman... Ms. Hiratsuka said she would come to invite you in person."

If it's okay in principle, then it's not okay; if it's not okay in principle, then it's okay.

Hikigaya understands this kind of rhetoric better than anyone else. It's like when you're interviewing for a job and ask the HR person if the company forces you to work overtime, their answer will definitely be "it's voluntary." Just take that kind of talk with a grain of salt.

The same principle clearly applies here.

So much so that a scene appeared in Hachiman's mind—Hiratsuka Shizuka exhaled a smoke ring, clenched her fist, and said to herself: I don't remember who went, but I remember very clearly who didn't go.

Mom!

"Don't worry about the expenses. The teacher said that we're going to volunteer at a primary school's summer camp. Food and lodging will be reimbursed, and the work isn't difficult. We'll just help take care of the primary school students. The rest of the time is basically free, and we can even camp for free." Lin Qianshu told him all the information he knew.

"Moreover, participating in such activities can earn you extra points when applying to university in the future."

Upon hearing this, Saki Kawasaki, who had been playing a background role, put down her phone and sat up to listen.

"Free camping!" Yuihama's eyes lit up.

"In addition, there are no restrictions on club participation for this activity, which means that if Ayaka wants to come, she can come too. She can just go to Ms. Hiratsuka to register." Lin Qianshu looked at Ayaka.

"Really?" Ayaka originally thought this was a perk unique to the Service Club, but she never expected that she could participate as well.

"Yukino, are you going?" Yui asked.

“As the head of the Service Club, I have no reason not to go,” Yukino Yukinoshita replied.

Judging from the lack of surprise on her face, she must have known about this for a while.

That's true. As the instructor of the Service Club, Hiratsuka Shizuka should be the first person to be informed if there are any activities.

"Komachi can come too," Lin Qianshu said to Komachi.

Komachi Hikigaya hadn't expected to be involved. She pointed to herself and said, "Can I do it too?"

"Of course, since it's a volunteer activity, the more people the better."

"It sounds like a shady company is recruiting." Hikigaya's tone was serious, as if he was implying to his sister not to listen to slander.

"I want to go, Komachi wants to go!" Komachi completely ignored her brother's hints.

Forget about slander, why not go camping for free?

Besides, given my silly older brother's personality, if I don't go, he'll most likely find all sorts of excuses to avoid it, and that won't do.

My brother's "loneliness" has finally taken a turn for the better, how can we not strike while the iron is hot?

If you stay at home for an entire summer vacation, you'll rot away!

"OK, I'll talk to Ms. Hiratsuka later. Also, remember to bring your brother along that day." Lin Qianshu gave an OK sign and added a reminder.

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Komachi gave Lin Qianshu a military salute.

"Doesn't anyone even ask for my opinion?" Hachiman was still trying to struggle.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qianshu asked the guy to come closer.

With just one sentence, Hachiman immediately changed his attitude.

"If you don't come, I'll drag Kawasaki Taishi along too."

Chapter 116 Yukino's Envy

In the sweltering summer heat, the incessant chirping of cicadas has never stopped since the beginning of August.

It's only 8 a.m., but the temperature outside is already almost 30 degrees Celsius.

According to the TV report, today is the highest temperature since the beginning of summer. However, Lin Qianshu has heard similar reports no less than three times this month.

Keep in mind it's only the beginning of August, but it feels like every day is the hottest part of summer!

Lin Qianshu put all the packed luggage aside, then took out her phone and sent a message to Xue Zhixia, asking if she had packed her luggage.

The message received an immediate response.

Before long, the two came downstairs. Since they both had luggage, Lin Qianshu simply asked Uncle Li to drive her and Xue Zhixia for a while.

He also took the opportunity to have Uncle Li pass on his strategic planning report, which had taken him nearly a month and a half to, to his great-grandfather whom he had never met, as a way of giving an explanation for the family resources he had previously used.

As for whether he can be employed in the future, Lin Qianshu doesn't really care. It would be best if he is employed, but he won't lose anything if he isn't. After all, besides the new energy track, there are many other development directions that Lin Qianshu can choose to pursue in the future. As long as he succeeds in any one of them, it will be enough for him to live a life of comfort for several lifetimes.

Even if he fails at every step, he can still live a life of leisure within the family.

Moreover, Lin Qianshu cares more about his system than making money. This is his foundation for survival. What business or money? Once I have the fist, you'll see if I'll lack money.

It still features the familiar double-R logo, but because of the need to carry luggage, the model has changed from Phantom to Cullinan.

After helping Yukinoshita put the luggage into the trunk, Lin Qianshu got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, handing the document bag containing the strategic development report to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li didn't say much, nor did he open the file bag. Instead, in front of Lin Qianshu, he put the item into a small combination lock briefcase, seemingly intending to hand it directly to the old man.

“Young Master Qianshu, Chairman Lin said he will come to pick you up after this event,” Uncle Li suddenly said.

"Grandpa wants to see me?" Lin Qianshu said "Grandpa" so naturally. He had used someone else's resources, so he naturally had to be sweet-talking. Besides, whether in terms of seniority or kinship, the person was indeed his grandpa.

"Hmm." Uncle Li responded, but considering that Yukino Yukinoshita was also present, he did not directly mention Mai Sakurajima, but simply said, "Chairman Lin already knows what you did before, young master."

"What did Grandpa say?"

"Chairman Lin didn't say anything."

"That's fine."

Lin Qianshu didn't seem worried at all about being held accountable by his master. After all, if he really wanted to punish him, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?

Surely you wouldn't travel all that way just to meet him and personally beat him up, would you?

Even if we take a step back and say the worst, isn't he also helping the Lin family to have more descendants?

Uncle Li's lips twitched when he saw Lin Qianshu's relaxed appearance.

He could tell that Lin Qianshu was genuinely not nervous at all, and wasn't just putting on a show.

Over the years, he had been by the old man's side and had met many members of the Lin family, but to be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen someone like Lin Qianshu who showed no nervousness at all after knowing he was going to meet the old man.

Let alone Lin Qianshu's generation, even the previous generation of Lin family members, including the old man's own children, were no different from mice seeing a cat when they saw the old man.

Not to mention that before this, Lin Qianshu had also made the extravagant and bold move of spending a fortune on a woman, a move that would surely be met with disdain.

Perhaps... this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?

Uncle Li had witnessed Lin Qianshu's abilities firsthand. After all, Lin Qianshu hadn't hidden anything from him when he was using his special skills. At first, when Uncle Li heard the reports from his subordinates, he thought they were exaggerating a bit. But recently, when Lin Qianshu started asking him for advice on business and economic issues, he realized that his subordinates were still too conservative.

Even a business elite like him, who is considered one of the best among his peers, felt that his young master was perhaps a little too extraordinary.
