Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 691 The branch office is in a state of panic

"We don't have any disposable cups in the shop, so we'll have to use this. Drink water, drink water. The shop is almost finished, but the boss isn't even here to take a look." The renovation worker complained, holding up a kettle.

Bai Qingxia and Lu Yuanqiu smiled.

The school was the one dealing with the renovation workers, so they didn't recognize Zhong Jincheng.

Lu Yuanqiu: "Master, do you know that the shop owner is a student?"

"Students? We don't know." The chef was a little confused, but he pointed to the milk tea cups in Lu Yuanqiu's and Lu Yuanqiu's hands.

"But we heard that the painting on this cup was done by the owner's wife. Look at these two little figures, they're quite pretty. You young people should like them."

The master was referring to the "autumn" and "summer" symbols on the cup.

Bai Qingxia then took the initiative to keep everyone in suspense. She raised the milk tea cup in her hand, showing an awkwardness that she didn't often joke with people: "Then... do you know who is depicted in this picture?"

"Who?"

After asking the question, the master took a big gulp of plain water from the cup with the "peak" in it.

Bai Qingxia didn't answer, but instead moved closer to Lu Yuanqiu, holding up her milk tea cup to cover her face.

shame.

The master waved his hand: "Oh dear, I don't understand the stuff you young people do. I've never seen this animation, so I wouldn't know either."

He felt there was a generation gap between him and the students at Zhuhai University, so he went back inside after finishing his water.

Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at the girl beside him who was emitting a fragrance and asked, "Who is she?"

Bai Qingxia put down her milk tea cup and stubbornly replied, "I don't know."

"Let's go."

She stood up, placed the cup on the table, and reached out to Lu Yuanqiu. Her slender, pale fingers were pink and translucent in the sunlight.

Lu Yuanqiu slumped in his seat: "So tired, I'm not going, I'm not going."

Bai Qingxia pulled at him with both hands, but Lu Yuanqiu pulled her into his arms in return. Realizing that she couldn't move at all after struggling a few times and that her hands were controlled by Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia let out a heavy sigh and slumped down in his arms like a coward, not moving.

Lu Yuanqiu narrowed his eyes to slits, looking at the girl lying quietly in his arms and her flowing hair, a peaceful smile appearing on his lips.

A few seconds later, Bai Qingxia seemed to find the sun too bright, so she turned over, straddled one of Lu Yuanqiu's legs, and changed to a sleeping position nestled in his arms.

Lu Yuanqiu then put his arm around her waist.

It was a peaceful afternoon.

But it was a beautiful dream that Lu Yuanqiu could never have before.

……

At 9 p.m., Lu Yuanqiu gathered Xia Yiwanmian's employees, "brand ambassadors," "shareholders," and "freeloaders"... cross that out, and gathered Xia Yiwanmian's cronies to sit together in a corner of the store. Several advertising boards were erected around them as screens, otherwise they would attract customers.

It was already 9 p.m., and most of the customers were still sitting in the store. Fortunately, there were no more takeout orders.

Lu Yuanqiu has noticed that a strange trend has emerged at the school in the past few days: many students are eating noodles at the noodle shop, taking photos, and then posting them on social media.

Liang Jingfeng posted it, I wonder which girl in his friend list he was showing it to. It's like you're out of touch if you haven't eaten at Xia Yiwan Noodles' new restaurant.

“The principal’s post is more useful than mine. It’s already generating a lot of buzz on the forum.” Long Liandong turned her phone around and moved it toward Lu Yuanqiu.

Lu Yuanqiu reached for it, but accidentally tapped the homepage. The phone's screen saver that appeared in front of him was a picture of a basketball hoop under the dim streetlights. Long Liandong reached out a little too quickly and hurriedly tapped back to the previous screen. As she pulled her hand back, she glanced around.

Lu Yuanqiu (☉_☉)
Bai Qingxia didn't understand what was going on, but she vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Long Liandong: "There are many posts on Tieba now debating whether Xia Yiwanmian or Baixi Classic is the original. Students are almost unanimously proving that Xia Yiwanmian is the original."

Liu Wangchun is here tonight too. If she's here, Long Liandong has to think carefully before she speaks, lest Liu Wangchun find another opportunity to criticize her. When the screensaver appeared just now, what she feared most was that Liu Wangchun would make a few comments. With Liu Wangchun's mouth... she could only remain silent; otherwise, she couldn't explain herself.

Fortunately, Liu Wangchun's attention was focused on the single ahoge (a single hair sticking up) on the back of Bai Qingxia's head.

Senior Chu Wenxuan was a little confused: "What exactly do you mean? It feels like your purpose in promoting this isn't to make money on campus, but to get students to help you protect your rights?"

Zheng Yifeng: "The White Rhino Classic model that's been all the rage lately is indeed a counterfeit."

Fu Yimeng then slightly raised her hand.

"Excuse me for speaking out, but I think that as students, we can only suffer in silence when something like this happens, right? Bai Xi... that's a big company. If Xia Yiwanmian were owned by Lu's Group, then maybe public opinion could be reversed. Right now, all we can do is get public opinion on your side within the school. But Bai Xi probably doesn't even care about this level of discussion within the school."

Su Miaomiao and Bai Qingxia, who knew Lu Yuanqiu's identity, didn't say much; they knew what to do next.

Fu Yimeng was right; the Lu family would indeed make a move soon.

In fact, the two types of noodles have different tastes, recipes, and production processes. Lu Yuanqiu could have skipped the step of stirring up public opinion at school and directly launched Xia Yiwan Noodles through Lu's Group. The Bai Xi Classic version would not have any impact on the launch of Xia Yiwan Noodles.

But Lu Yuanqiu wanted to add one more step.

He wanted to stir up the controversy, to make the White Rhino Classic look like a clown for plagiarism, to condemn them, and to give Zhang Zhisheng a hard time.

Xia Yiwanmian has now solidified its status as an original creator. While the topic's popularity within the school is not significant, the media will soon be involved, and the buzz will extend far beyond the school.

Bai Qingxia not only has numerous "family relatives" to prove her identity, but also has the Lu family's capital operation behind her. She is fearless. On the surface, she is a vulnerable group, but society prefers the vulnerable.

Lu Yuanqiu sighed in response to Fu Yimeng's words: "Yes, if Xia Yiwan Noodles were from the Lu family, that would be great."

He teased, "Senior Sister Fu hasn't even started working at Lu's yet, has she already sided with Lu's so quickly?"

The people present had gotten along fairly well over the past few days, and Fu Yimeng had already openly admitted that she was currently looking for a job, so Lu Yuanqiu started joking around.

Fu Yimeng gave Liang Jingfeng a pitiful look: "When I can start working depends on when Young Master Liang can give me a message."

Liang Jingfeng forced a smile: "I'm also waiting... waiting for news."

Wei Zhiyu silently looked at Liang Jingfeng.

Zhong Jincheng, who is returning to Lucheng tomorrow, also joined the discussion tonight. He asked, "What news?"

Liang Jingfeng: "I have to wait for the new leader to take over at the branch office. Right now, everyone at the branch office is in a state of panic. Nobody is sure if they will be laid off. Of course, my dad will definitely not be laid off. Let's wait and see."

Bai Qingxia was picking at Lu Yuanqiu's fingers.
