Chapter 1853 - 1022: Sucking Up
Jiang Ning parked the electric bike and proceeded to the cafeteria with Tongtong.
Behind them, Principal Yu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, surrounded by several leaders.
Although he was just a regular provincial demonstration high school principal, due to a famous alum who succeeded in business and loved to give back to his alma mater.
Principal Yu had resources far beyond his position.
He enjoyed playing the role of a pig to catch a tiger.
Principal Yu saw the school’s famous little one and was delighted, quickly catching up to greet warmly, "Xue Yuantong, off to eat?"
Xue Yuantong replied calmly, telling fibs, "Yes, after eating I’ll be going back to the classroom to study."
Principal Yu felt even better: "Good, good, studying is important!"
If they scored tops in the provincial exam later, wouldn’t Fourth Middle School soar high?
Xue Yuantong felt confident in front of the principal, but when she saw the well-known tall student from her year, her actions became self-conscious.
Tang Fu ran over, with a slim waist and long legs, truly catching eyes.
She boldly placed her hand on Jiang Ning’s shoulder, complaining, "I went with Chen Siyu to do business, and someone swindled us out of 80 bucks! Ridiculous!"
Xue Yuantong internally criticized her: ’The combined IQ of you two is negative; if no one swindles you, who will?’
Jiang Ning comforted, "It’s just one failure, nothing to worry about."
Tang Fu: "Chen Siyu says you’re good at making money?"
Jiang Ning: "It’s alright."
Just making 1.88 million in ten minutes.
Tang Fu: "Can you teach me?"
Xue Yuantong immediately showed disdain.
Jiang Ning didn’t refuse: "If you have the spirit to work hard, I can take you into business."
Tang Fu’s eyes brightened, confidently saying, "Do you know what they call me on the field? A wild horse of a woman!"
Jiang Ning: "Alright."
Tang Fu asked, "By the way, what business are you planning?"
Jiang Ning: "Starting a company to help people plow fields."
Tang Fu was stunned, then squeezed his shoulder hard, shouting, "Wow, you really think I’m an idiot?"
Talking and walking, the group entered the cafeteria together.
Chen Siyu came up to gossip with Jiang Ning: "Have you heard? Yin Yu from our class died!"
Jiang Ning: "? Who said that?"
Chen Siyu: "It was on the forum, a guy confessed to Yin Yu, Yin Yu originally wanted to reply ’I do’, but while riding an electric bike, she checked her phone and accidentally got hit and died."
Foreign exchange student Huang Xingyue replaced the missing Shang Caiwei in training, and upon hearing this, her blue eyes dimmed, unable to help but sigh deeply.
"I used to have a friend who was killed by a bomb." Her tone was sad, "To express sorrow, I won’t eat meat this meal."
Xue Yuantong: "Can I have your meat dishes then?"
Huang Xingyue thought the little one was cold-hearted, but as a traveler from another nation, Huang Xingyue agreed: "Eat all you want."
Jiang Ning found it strange, he used Divine Sense to scan Class 8 while parking; Yin Yu was clearly in the classroom reading.
"Which post?" Jiang Ning asked.
Chen Siyu immediately opened the forum and showed him the post.
Jiang Ning looked at the phone, his eyes flickering, and the invisible Divine Power erupted, chaotic light and electric waves appeared in the air, extending in a twisted pure black line.
’Oh, it was posted by Liu Chuandao.’
Jiang Ning was speechless, Liu Chuandao surely confessed and failed, got badly rebuked by Yin Yu’s sharp tongue, and couldn’t stand it, then spread rumors that Yin Yu was dead.
What an outrageous thing.
Xue Yuantong showed everyone the group message: "The post was made at 1:30 PM, then who was messaging at 2:30 PM pretending to be Yin Yu?"
Smart Tang Fu pondered for a few seconds: "Could it be the last light before death?"
Xue Yuantong didn’t bother to respond, tonight’s dinner was especially rich, the school had a rare burst of goodwill, they even made spicy crabs.
There were eight crabs in total, one for each person, but Huang Xingyue, commemorating not-dead Yin Yu, decided not to eat, thus Tongtong got two.
The Fourth Middle School cafeteria chefs were quite skilled, the spicy crab was flavorful, the roe was full, each student ate with delight.
Only Huang Xingyue watched silently.
Chen Siyu consoled, "Don’t worry, if Yin Yu knew you mourned her, she would surely be happy."
Huang Xingyue didn’t quite understand local customs, she asked, "Would she really be happy?"
"She would, she would."
Without crabs, Huang Xingyue could only eat stir-fried snow peas, crunchy and tasty.
Yang Sheng picked a squid, commenting, "I usually eat snow peas stir-fried with cured meats and sausages, never with squid before."
Since arriving here, Huang Xingyue learned a lot, she use metaphor in response: "I hear in your country, people are best at marrying someone they don’t love, and spend a lifetime cherishing someone they do love."
Bai Yuxia, eating crab silently, found it odd, who taught her these things?
Chen Siyu disagreed, emphatically saying, "A sausage has only one link, squid has many tentacles, isn’t it obvious who to choose?"
Bai Yuxia secretly criticized.
Regardless of who Huang Xingyue learned from, just stay away from Chen Siyu!
Yang Sheng was puzzled, her casual nature prevented her from getting tangled up, she candidly declared, "To be honest, squid is quite delicious."
Chen Siyu praised her, realizing Yang Sheng was also in this line.
The same cafeteria.
Zhang Chi sat at a completely unfamiliar table to eat, today, he managed to sell his seat through a transaction on Idle Fish to a student from a different school.
Fourth Middle School’s cafeteria fame, due to many students’ boasting, had spread across the urban area.
Curious students from other schools wanted to try Fourth Middle School’s food.
The tides of the times gave Zhang Chi an opportunity, the seat he could never sell before was now easily sold for a high price of 20 bucks, Zhang Chi deeply understood the meaning of "standing at the wind’s peak, even pigs can soar."
And the seat he bought was priced low at 2 bucks, obtained from a senior student.
Zhang Chi was quietly thankful, there were fewer people at this table, he could enjoy half a table to himself, until Principal Yu and several leaders sat down together.
Zhang Chi: ’Well dang!’
"Hello students!" Principal Yu greeted the students at the table.
The other two seniors were stunned, just coming for a meal, why bump into the principal?
Principal Yu told Director Yan and other leaders: "Everyone, sit and try our Fourth Middle School’s food."
Then, the cafeteria staff brought over sweet congee, buns, pancakes, and sweet potatoes, and opened the covers to reveal spicy crabs, braised perch, chicken feet with wings, squid stir-fried with snow peas, and oyster sauce lettuce, a feast.
Deputy principal of Yuzhou No.3 Middle School was stupefied, ’Goodness, wasn’t your dinner budget 4 bucks? How do you afford this with 4 bucks?’
Deputy principal of Guyang County First Middle School was also dumbfounded: ’I see you’re not making any profit at all!’
Principal Yu enjoyed their shock, feeling secretly delighted!
At Fourth Middle School, fewer students swore at him compared to other schools.
Principal Yu cleared his throat, "Let’s eat."
Zhang Chi was the first to reach for the crab. After lifting the crab, he asked with concern, "Principal Yu, do you want some crab?"
Principal Yu felt even more satisfied, his students were so kind!
In the past, there was the story of Confucius sharing pears, now students sharing crabs!
Principal Yu was very satisfied, pleasantly waving his hand: "I won’t have any!"
Zhang Chi turned his chopsticks to continue offering, "Director Yan, do you want some?"
Director Yan declined.
Zhang Chi offered to the deputy principals of No.3 Middle School and Guyang County First Middle School.
Due to the competitive relationship between No.3 Middle School and Fourth Middle School over years, the deputy principal suspected Principal Yu of staging students for show, if not staged, he’d kneel right there!
Uncomfortable, the deputy principal declined stiffly, "I’m not one of your school’s leaders, no need to please me!"
After asking other leaders and the remaining two students, everyone declined.
Zhang Chi finally placed the crab back into the bowl, then moved the bowl in front of himself, laughing happily, "Alright, since no one wants it, I’ll gladly accept!"
Everyone at the table was stunned.
Deputy principal of No.3 Middle School: ’Didn’t expect that?’
