“So it’s her! No wonder I’ve never seen her before, she’s also from the Finance Department. The Finance Department is going to be lively now!”
“The owner of ‘Number One Palace’? Is she that legendary, mysterious, and incredibly powerful big shot?”
Whispers rippled through the crowd, but Jiang Wenxi ignored them, steadily following Fu Siya and the others towards the Finance Department’s registration point.
The group weaved through the bustling crowd and quickly arrived at the Finance Department’s registration point. Several long blue tables were neatly arranged, behind which sat several upperclassmen wearing “Welcome Volunteer” badges, methodically greeting the arriving freshmen. Jiang Wenxi stepped forward, her voice clear and gentle: “Hello, senior, we’re here to register.”
The senior in the white shirt behind the table looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes when he saw Jiang Wenxi and her group, but he quickly regained his gentle smile and gestured for them to wait a moment: “Okay, everyone, please register your names and admission notice numbers here. I’ll check your information and then arrange your dorms.”
Upon hearing the words “arrange dorms,” Fu Siya’s eyes lit up instantly. She leaned close to the senior, her tone expectant and coquettish: “Senior, we came together, and we’re not familiar with the area yet. Could you arrange for us to share a dorm? That way, we can look after each other.”
Hearing this, the senior’s gaze swept over Jiang Wenxi, Fu Siya, and the others beside her, including Ma Yun and Jiang Xunye. Seeing their elegant attire and extraordinary demeanor, he roughly guessed who they were—mostly scions of wealthy families in the upper class. He smiled apologetically, his tone sincere: “Junior, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that your dorms were already assigned in advance based on the admission information. It’s all arranged uniformly by the system, and I can’t change it arbitrarily.”
He added, fearing they might be disappointed, “But I can check your respective dorm numbers first, maybe you’ll be assigned together?”
Fu Siya’s bright eyes dimmed instantly, her voice filled with obvious regret: “Oh… okay then, could you please check for us, senior?”
“Sure, just a moment.” The senior nodded, skillfully entering their names into the computer to begin the search. The crisp sound of the keyboard clicking filled the air, and freshmen came and went around them. Fu Siya stared nervously at the senior’s screen, even her breathing becoming lighter.
After a few seconds, the senior looked up at Fu Siya: “Found it, Fu Siya, your dorm number is 12th Building, 303.”
“What about Jiang Wenxi? Senior, could you check hers too!” Fu Siya immediately asked eagerly.
The senior student smiled and continued checking, quickly getting the result: “Jiang Wenxi, her dorm is also Building 12, Room 303.”
“Oh my god! What a coincidence! We’re actually in the same dorm!” Fu Siya cheered instantly, excitedly grabbing Jiang Wenxi’s arm, her eyes sparkling again, her voice full of joy, “That’s great, Wenxi! We’re actually assigned together!”
Jiang Wenxi was infected by her excitement, a faint smile playing on her lips, and she nodded slightly. She didn’t actually have many requirements about where she lived, since she probably wouldn’t stay in the dorm often, mostly returning to her large apartment in Lanyan Community. But living with someone she knew was always more comfortable than facing a group of unfamiliar roommates, and it was a small surprise.
Ma Yun and Jiang Xunye also checked their dorm numbers; they were assigned rooms diagonally opposite each other. Although not in the same room, they were still neighbors, and both were satisfied.
“Okay, thank you, senior. You’ve worked hard,” Jiang Wenxi politely thanked the senior student.
“It’s alright, it’s alright.” The senior waved his hand and handed the printed dormitory check-in forms to the group. “Your enrollment procedures are all complete. You can go to your dorms to unpack now. Do you need us to arrange for volunteers to help you with your luggage?”
“No need, senior, we have people with us.” Jiang Wenxi said calmly. As soon as she finished speaking, several nannies who had been guarding the registration point quickly came over, carrying several lightweight carry-on suitcases—containing the two’s personal belongings.
After all, Fu Siya was the little princess of the Fu family, and Jiang Wenxi was the mistress of No. 1 Tan Palace. Naturally, trivial matters such as making beds and unpacking clothes would be taken care of by dedicated servants. The two walked towards the dormitory building with a group of nannies following behind them. In addition, Jiang Nan was still following Jiang Wenxi at a distance, which made the scene particularly eye-catching among the freshmen coming and going. Many people couldn’t help but turn around and look.
“Then let’s go make our beds first, and go out for dinner together later.”
“Okay.”
“Wenxi, let’s go!”
Just then, Jiang Wenxi heard the system’s announcement.
[Ding! System has issued its first mission: Please successfully enroll in the top-tier Magic Science University in Shanghai as a young lady from a wealthy family. Mission reward: 10 basic attribute points, 50 points.] Completed, reward issued.
[Due to the host’s excellent completion rate and good feedback, an additional reward of ownership of Yan Chunxiao is given. The relevant documents have been stored in the host’s backpack, and the host can view them at any time.]
Hearing this, Jiang Wenxi couldn’t help but smile, a faint smile spreading across her eyes—there was even an extra reward! “Yan Chunxiao,” the name itself sounds elegant, it’s probably a high-class restaurant. She thought to herself, once settled, she’ll check the details in her backpack and go see it for herself when she has time.
As her thoughts wandered, Jiang Wenxi and Fu Siya beside her had already reached the designated floor. Both women were impeccably dressed, with upright postures and outstanding demeanor. Behind them followed two maids in matching uniforms, pushing custom-made luggage carts.
Just as they reached the door of dormitory room “303,” Jiang Wenxi heard rustling sounds of tidying coming from inside. She turned her head slightly to Fu Siya, then gently knocked on the door. The sounds inside stopped abruptly, followed by a sweet yet slightly reserved female voice: “Please come in.”
Jiang Wenxi and Fu Siya pushed open the door side by side, and the two maids followed slowly in with the luggage cart. The first thing they saw was the bed on the left side of the door. A girl wearing a faded light blue T-shirt and jeans was squatting on the floor, carefully placing neatly folded clothes into a simple wardrobe.
The girl was slender, with a simple ponytail revealing a smooth forehead and soft profile, though a hint of barely perceptible unease lingered in her eyes. Seeing someone enter, she immediately straightened up, turning around with a neatly folded shirt in her hand. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her gaze swept over Jiang Wenxi, Fu Siya, and the nanny behind them before she gave a somewhat shy smile: “Hello, you are also roommates of 303, right? My name is Lin Wan, and I’m from Suzhou.”
