Chapter 288: Chapter 247 Aromatic * Scene_2

However, the other party did not show any signs of surprise or confusion, they simply pressed a finger on the page-turning button of the camera, presenting each photo for Wen Nan to see.

Inside, nearly a hundred photos were recorded using very professional botanical photography techniques. Each photo corresponded to a numbered entry in a record manual she held, and detailed coordinates, morphological descriptions, and possible family, genus, species, and subspecies names were written.

"Plum Garden is T University’s ornamental botanical garden, with only plum trees as woody plants; the rest are herbaceous, climbing, and moss plants. The variety is not too extensive, so the collection work is easy. Before you came, I had already quickly and simply gone over everything, classified them, and made simple records," she said.

Even though she said "quickly" and "simply," the detail level in that record manual was much higher than the final drafts of many students’ major assignments.

It seemed that without Wen Nan’s help, the task was already successfully completed in advance by the person opposite him.

"...Do you need me to help with anything?" Wen Nan asked.

Minmin handed the manual to Wen Nan, "I need you to do a final check to verify if there is any wrong information."

Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly.

It sounded like they didn’t really need his help but just handed him some work to increase his sense of participation.

Seeing Wen Nan’s expression, Minmin earnestly added a note: "Don’t underestimate the verification work; it’s very important."

This sounded more like coaxing a child.

Wen Nan took the manual, glanced at the time, and realized there were only twenty minutes left until his scheduled meeting with Lv Xiaohong about a tutoring part-time job.

"I’ll take this booklet with me and after I finish verifying the work, I’ll exchange it back with you?" Wen Nan said as he rolled up the manual and tucked it into his body.

Seeing this, Minmin frowned, "The specific locations of each plant need to be verified and can only be done within the Plum Garden; do not leave this area."

Wen Nan admitted, "But I have to leave the campus once."

Minmin’s face cooled down, "With so much going on outside, why are you still running around randomly?"

Wen Nan was taken aback; he couldn’t help but feel that her tone was quite reminiscent of how his mother used to manage him when he was a child.

"I have an appointment to discuss a tutoring job." Wen Nan explained directly, "I need to earn money; that’s my task."

Actually, Wen Nan didn’t really need to explain in such detail to the other person; after all, they had just met and hadn’t completely figured each other out yet.

But even though Minmin seemed somewhat expressionless, her tone cold, Wen Nan’s intuition told him he could trust her.

After hearing Wen Nan’s explanation, Minmin fell silent.

She seemed to have guessed the hidden meaning in Wen Nan’s words, lowered her eyes to think for a while, and softly said, "I can help you with the money issue, you don’t need to wander around outside."

Wen Nan paused, "You’re going to help me earn money?"

"Yes." Minmin replied earnestly.

Wen Nan chuckled.

He didn’t doubt that she could indeed get the money, but, "It’s not just about money; I have to attend this meeting."

Being a strategy romance game, Wen Nan could sense that the storyline involving Lv Xiaohong was very important and he didn’t want to miss it, no matter what, he wanted to unlock it.

Upon hearing Wen Nan’s words, Minmin’s face turned cold again, "Why do you insist on complicating such a simple task?"

Hmm?

Why does this sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before?

But Wen Nan didn’t have the time to delve into this question; looking at the time, there were only eighteen minutes left until his meeting with Lv Xiaohong.

"I have to go now," Wen Nan said, pointing to the manual, "I’ll finish the verification later and hand it over to you."

Having said that, he was ready to head out, but catching a glimpse of Guan Ailin who had been standing not far off, he turned back and pulled her towards Minmin, "This is my cousin, she’s not familiar with the area here. Would you mind letting her stay with you for the time being?"

Minmin incredulously looked at Wen Nan, "You..."

"I’m off."

Wen Nan finished speaking, waved his hand, not giving the other party a chance to refuse, and simply strode away.

Minmin watched Wen Nan’s departing figure, feeling quite suffocated—

How could he casually hand over someone so important to him to a completely unfamiliar classmate? Did he have any sense of danger or preventive awareness?

...

...

Lv Xiaohong’s clothing company is two blocks away from the main entrance of T University, and it usually takes an average person about 30 minutes to walk there.

Wen Nan’s agility isn’t too bad, and his stamina is decent enough, so running at full speed, he managed to reach the clothing store right at ten o’clock.

The storefront isn’t very large, and the racks inside are arranged so densely that each rack is filled with clothes, looking less like a regular retail store and more like a wholesale market.

It’s obvious that Lv Xiaohong’s store primarily focuses on online business, with offline as a secondary aspect.

Seeing Wen Nan entering, a clerk immediately approached and asked what the handsome guy needed.

Wen Nan directly took out Lv Xiaohong’s business card, saying he was there to see Boss Lv.

The employee seemed to have been briefed in advance and promptly smiled, saying, "Are you the tutoring teacher? Our boss is waiting for you in the upstairs warehouse, I’ll take you up."

Climbing up a somewhat cramped staircase to the second floor, surrounded by heaps of clothes and pants packed in plastic bags, he saw a woman sitting on a small stool, meticulously tallying inventory from afar.

At this moment, Lv Xiaohong didn’t look as refined as she did when stepping out of the Maserati earlier. She wore a loose casual home outfit with long pants underneath, her hair casually pinned back, with bangs slightly covering her cheeks, no makeup, looking somewhat haggard; yet her features were still very delicate, her skin smooth, clearly a natural beauty.

She was entirely focused on her work, one leg propped up with a ledger on it, her eyes rapidly moving between the figures and the newly arrived goods.

"Sister Xiao Hong," the employee walked forward and bent down to call, "the guest has arrived."

Lv Xiaohong suddenly raised her head and looked at Wen Nan blankly, then froze, "Little Jiu...so soon?"

She glanced at the clock on the wall, "Oh, is it already ten o’clock?" hurriedly stood up, tugged at her messy clothes in front of the dressing mirror, took out the clip and tidied her hair, then looked at Wen Nan with full apologies, "Little Jiu, I’m sorry, this batch of goods just arrived this morning. I got busy and forgot to prepare in time, making you see this joke."

Her face full of regret, she couldn’t help but silently blame herself that this batch of goods arrived at such an inconvenient time, leaving her no time to dress up properly, unable to make a good impression on the other side.

Wen Nan shook his head with a smile, sincerely complimenting her: "Sister Xiao Hong, you look even more beautiful like this."

Lv Xiaohong beamed at his praise, no longer in a rush to go inside to touch up her makeup, she led Wen Nan upstairs while making small talk: "Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like to have some here with me?"

Wen Nan chuckled and declined.

Lv Xiaohong continued, "I have leased the entire building; the second to fifth floors are for shipping and receiving, and I live with my sister on the top floor.

"Oh, I haven’t told you yet; I wanted to ask you to tutor my sister. She is in her senior year of high school and in a graduating class. Her current grades..."

At this, Lv Xiaohong sighed and added, "As for the pay, I looked into it; coming once a week, for two hours per session, I’ll pay you 2,500 yuan a month, does that work for you?"

Wen Nan nodded and said straightforwardly, "No problem, but I’d need an advance on the first month’s salary when we sign the contract, could Sister Xiao Hong agree to that?"

Lv Xiaohong hesitated for a moment before responding, "I have no issue with that, but would you first like to meet my sister? Let’s do a trial lesson today, and if it works, we’ll sign the contract, and the hours from the trial will count in the first month’s pay too."

Wen Nan had no objections and nodded.

So, that meant he only needed to teach one class to Lv Xiaohong’s sister now to directly earn 2,500 yuan, completing the main task in just two hours.

While thinking, Lv Xiaohong opened the door to her home, calling towards the living room, "Qingqing, the tutoring teacher I mentioned yesterday is here, come out—"

——Thud!

Mid-sentence, Lv Xiaohong froze.

Then she saw two girls, stark naked, roll off the living room sofa onto the floor.
