Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 498 The One and Only (10K)

Since its opening, Hao You Lai has been a very popular restaurant.

Through advertising, customers now know that the products here are affordable and safe, and they don't worry about buying substandard products from small workshops.

Furthermore, Hao You Lai's employees are trained according to DL's standards, and they all greet customers with smiles and provide extremely warm and attentive service, which makes customers love to come here and enjoy a near-perfect shopping experience.

"President Zeng!"

"President Zeng!"

"President Zeng!"

……

When the managers of Hao You Lai saw Zeng Wenjie, they all greeted him, and Zeng Wenjie responded with a smile.

He has established an image within his company that is professional and businesslike, yet approachable in private.

It's fine for colleagues to joke around, but if anyone crosses the line of company rules, they will be severely punished without hesitation.

When the junior employees of Hao You Lai saw Zeng Wenjie, they all greeted him with smiles.

They always had a question in their minds: with everyone's wages so high and the profit margins on goods in the supermarket so low, how could Boss Zeng possibly make money? Would Hao You Lai one day have to close down because of this?

Zeng Wenjie can certainly make money; it's just a matter of how much. Besides, the land in Haoyoulai belongs to Xue Lu, who is one of the major shareholders.

Zeng Wenjie randomly approached several customers, struck up conversations with them, and inquired about their shopping experience and service.

"Everything is great. This is the best supermarket I've ever been to. The shopping experience is fantastic, and every staff member is so welcoming. I truly felt at home." The customer happily shared his thoughts with Zeng Wenjie.

Several customers I randomly asked all gave positive reviews.

Moreover, after inspecting the place, Zeng Wenjie felt that Hao You Lai really had the same vibe as DL. It seems that Shi Jing has really learned a lot from President Yu.

He saw Shi Jing, dressed in a suit, standing there with two service staff beside him, and two people who looked like customers standing opposite him, a mother with her child.

"I believe the child's action was unintentional. We'll take responsibility for the damage this time; just be more careful next time," Shi Jing said gently to the customer.

The child shrank behind his mother, a little scared, and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been naughty."

The mother smiled helplessly and said, "This... isn't that too much trouble? We broke it, so we'll pay for it."

Shi Jing said, "No need. The money from the compensation should be used to buy some snacks and toys for the child. Look, he's already apologized, so how can we blame him?"

Zeng Wenjie walked up to the child, took out a small bag of candy from his pocket, and handed it to the child.

"Don't accept candy from strangers!" the child said warily, but his eyes were fixed on the bag of candy in the stranger's hand, and he swallowed hard.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh and said, "Practice makes perfect. Do I look like a bad guy?"

"picture!"

Zeng Wenjie was instantly speechless, like a tough guy.

The mother, however, realized what was happening and quickly smiled, "Mr. Zeng, hello! Take this quickly, and then how should I answer?"

"Thank you, Uncle!" The child happily accepted the candy from Zeng Wenjie and expressed his gratitude.

The teacher said we shouldn't accept candy from strangers, but since Mom has spoken, there's definitely no problem.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but rub the child's head, and then wondered what it would be like if he and Mu Qingyang had a child together.

He suddenly realized, "Damn, he's only nineteen years old, and he's already thinking about having kids!"
Damn, this soul is really greasy and weathered, huh?
After learning about the situation, it turned out that the child had accidentally damaged an item worth over two hundred yuan. After reviewing the surveillance footage, Shi Jing found that it was unintentional and decided not to pursue the matter further.

The mother thanked him gratefully and left with her child. Before leaving, the child earnestly said, "Thank you, uncle. I promise I won't be naughty next time!"

Zeng Wenjie and Shi Jing couldn't help but click their tongues. Why did it feel so strange to be called "uncle"?
“Deduct the two hundred from my salary,” Shi Jing said.

"No need, Hao You Lai has always emphasized humanization! What is humanization? Isn't this humanization?" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

He also believed that the mother would spread the word about what happened today, making more and more people aware of the name Hao You Lai, thereby bringing in more customers and revenue.

Two hundred yuan is nothing.

Some business people have a narrow mindset; they haggle with customers over every penny, which ultimately leads to a bad reputation and their gradual decline.

Being meticulous is not wrong, but it shouldn't be used on customers; it should be used in negotiations.

Shi Jing said, "Business has been good since we opened, and the staff are very enthusiastic. But... they seem worried that we will lose money if we continue to operate like this, and eventually go bankrupt."

Zeng Wenjie chuckled and said, "It's definitely not going bankrupt; it's just a matter of how much we earn. Over the course of a year, we can easily make a few million."

He knew that DL's operations not only didn't lose money, but its profits increased year by year, achieving both a good reputation and good money—a win-win situation.

Zeng Wenjie also plans to open several more stores in cities with large populations within Chongshan Province, which would also create some jobs.

With a good reputation and the ability to solve employment problems, not only will the provincial government provide strong support, but local governments will also offer their full assistance.

Upon entering the office, Shi Jing took out a cigarette, offered one to Zeng Wenjie, and said, "We need to send more people over. There are too many customers, and we're a bit short-staffed."

Zeng Wenjie took a big sip and said, "Just confess yourself. I don't have any manpower to spare for you."

For him, recruiting talent is no longer a difficult task. After all, he has made a name for himself and offers such good benefits that there are plenty of talented people willing to serve under him.

"I'll recruit some people later, but the screening process must be strict. Otherwise, we'll let bad apples in and ruin our reputation," Shi Jing said thoughtfully.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but chuckle at the way this fellow was deep in thought.

Others find him quite magical, and he finds Shi Jing quite magical too.

Not long ago, he was a master of typos, but after studying with General Manager Yu in Zhongyuan Province for a few months, he developed a more composed demeanor and his thinking matured considerably.

It must be said that General Manager Yu is truly a good teacher and helpful friend, and coincidentally, both Shi Jing and General Manager Yu love reading "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".

Shi Jing said, "My dad is coming to see me tomorrow. If you're free, let's have dinner together?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Sure, I'll invite Xiao Mu over tomorrow. She's always happy to get a free meal."

Shi Jing then said, "I want my dad to come here and take a look."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "You should take a look. It's not very interesting to be seen in fine clothes at night, especially since that's your own father."

Shi Jing laughed and said, "Do you think he'll look at me differently?"

“I think he might look at you with new respect, but it’s unlikely he will.” Zeng Wenjie nodded seriously.

"..." Shi Jing grinned maliciously, "You don't want your nickname to be known by everyone, do you?"

“I don’t care. My nickname is just clothes, but your nickname is cow’s organ.” Zeng Wenjie wasn’t afraid at all.

Shi Jing's smile instantly froze. Damn it, this nickname is too awful. I don't know why the people of Baishui Town have this kind of quirk, liking to include the word "Bai" in boys' lowly names.

"牛掰" is fine, as it can be directly translated as "牛逼" (awesome). But some names like "狗掰" (dog-bad) or "猪掰" (pig-bad) are truly appalling.

Shi Jing clicked his tongue and said, "Godfather, please don't tell anyone, otherwise how am I supposed to help you manage Youlai?"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Work hard, let's make the Hao You Lai brand bigger and stronger, and show your dad what you're capable of. From now on, no one will be able to make you lose your clothes!"

Shi Jing rolled his eyes, speechless.

The next afternoon, Shi Quankai arrived at the bus station in Fengzhou, and Zeng Wenjie drove Shi Jing to pick him up.

"Father!" Shi Jing grinned and went to greet his father as soon as he saw him.

He didn't go home for the entire summer vacation, and his family missed him quite a bit.

Shi Quankai nodded at his son and said, "Not bad, you look presentable!"

Shi Jing said with a wry smile, "How can you talk about your own son like that?"

Shi Quankai glanced at Zeng Wenjie and asked, "Where is Hu Guohua?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Oh, he's at school. He'll be here later. Come on, Uncle, get in the car!"

Shi Quankai looked at Zeng Wenjie and felt a little emotional. This kid had once asked him to make sedatives for a cross-province kidnapping, but now he was a well-known college student entrepreneur, and he could be seen on TV every now and then.

Now, leaders from the county and surrounding villages and towns visit the Zeng family every few days.

He was also somewhat pleased, knowing that his good-for-nothing son had a good relationship with Zeng Wenjie and hadn't forgotten him even after achieving great success.

When Shi Jing went home for the Chinese New Year last time, he brought a lot of money, which made Shi Quankai so happy that he got drunk.

Now, Shi Jing is being given more important responsibilities and is even capable of handling things independently in a large supermarket.

"Oh, okay, okay!" Shi Quankai laughed.

He seemed a little awkward after getting into the Audi A8, as it was the first time in his life he had ever ridden in such a luxury car.

Zeng Wenjie casually took out two cigarettes and offered them to Shi Quankai and Shi Jing.

Shi Jing was so frightened that he quickly pushed him away, saying, "I won't smoke!"

Shi Quankai sneered, "If you don't smoke, who stole the Zhonghua cigarettes I locked in the cabinet?!"

Shi Jing was immediately embarrassed, and Zeng Wenjie grinned and said, "Stop pretending."

Shi Jing awkwardly accepted the cigarette, then turned to look at his father. Seeing that his father was not displeased, he was relieved.

"Let's get off the bus and smoke then," Shi Quankai said.

"It's alright." Zeng Wenjie lit a fire first.

He doesn't usually smoke in his car because the odor lingers for a long time, and even non-smokers can smell it as soon as they get in.

Under the influence of nicotine, Shi Quankai gradually relaxed and chatted with Zeng Wenjie about some things in town.

Upon arriving at Century City, Zeng Wenjie asked, "Would you like to rest for a bit?"

Shi Quankai laughed and said, "No need, I'll take a look around first!"

Zeng Wenjie let him be and went to the office himself, asking Shi Jing to show him around.

I turned on my computer and started writing "Battle Through the Heavens" with a heavy heart. When I was halfway through, I suddenly heard the door open.

He looked up and saw Mu Qingyang. He quickly pressed ALT+TAB to close the window.

"I'm here! Where's Uncle Shi?" Mu Qingyang asked happily.

"It's nice to visit the place downstairs again," Zeng Wenjie said.

Mu Qingyang nodded and said, "We should take a good look around. After all, this is the culmination of Comrade Niu Bai's hard work!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "What's with the 'awesome' title? Call me Boss Shi!"

At this moment, Shi Quankai was strolling through the Haoyoulai Supermarket. This incredibly large supermarket was actually managed by his own son. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was in a dream, it was unbelievable.

His son is only a second-year vocational school student, yet he already possesses abilities far exceeding those of his father, which makes him feel like it's an illusion.

But he also knew that all of this was brought about by Zeng Wenjie, and he couldn't help but marvel. This naughty kid who used to take firecrackers to blow up cow dung all day long had actually become such a big shot!
Shi Jing followed beside him, introducing Haoyoulai, which he managed, to Shi Quankai.

Shi Quankai listened attentively and realized that his son was not just fooling around; he had truly learned a lot, which made his father, who had been worried about his future, feel very gratified.

"Wenjie asked me to go to Zhongyuan Province to learn from General Manager Yu of DL. I learned a lot from General Manager Yu, and now I'm just copying what he taught me," Shi Jing said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Shi Quankai said, "Success often starts with imitating others. Take it slow. You've done a great job. Don't let Wenjie down."

Shi Jing beamed with joy.

In a child's mind, fathers are often strict, a combination of strict father and kind mother.

Therefore, fathers rarely praise their children.

Children often take pride in receiving praise from their fathers.

It's not that Shi Jing is bad-minded, but rather that he simply doesn't like to use his brain. As a result, he has done a lot of stupid things and gotten beaten up a lot since he was a child.

Hearing Shi Quankai's praise now felt even better than drinking an iced cola given to him by Hu Guohua on a sweltering summer day.

Shi Jing was well aware that his current achievements were all thanks to Zeng Wenjie's willingness to mentor him; otherwise, he would still be just a nobody on the sidelines, nothing more than a laughing stock in the eyes of outsiders.

But now, the teachers at school are very polite to him.

"However, aren't you afraid of losing money by paying such high wages to your employees and keeping the profit margin on your goods so low?" Shi Quankai asked.

"No, it's just a matter of earning a little less. This brand is mainly for building a reputation, and we're learning from DL," Shi Jing said, shaking his head.

Shi Quankai was relieved after hearing this. Like others, he was worried that Haoyoulai would lose money.

Nowadays, the prevailing attitude is that "no businessman is honest and unscrupulous." In the traditional view, honest and straightforward business people are the kind who are bound to lose money, and who are just supposed to lose money.

After visiting the supermarket, Shi Jing brought his father to the office. Seeing many people in suits calling his son "General Manager Shi" made Shi Quan feel a little pleased.

"Finished your tour?" Zeng Wenjie smiled and stood up to greet the father and son as they approached.

"Hello Uncle Shi, when are you slaughtering your pig this year?" Mu Qingyang hopped up to him and greeted him, then asked a question that seemed to jump from one topic to another.

This question caught Shi Quankai off guard...

Shi Quankai smiled helplessly and said, "It's still early, but we'll definitely be slaughtering a pig. I'll call you over for dinner then."

"Okay! Okay!" Mu Qingyang immediately agreed excitedly.

Zeng Wenjie gently rubbed the back of her head. This little foodie, she hasn't even had a holiday yet, and she's already thinking about going back to her hometown for a pig-slaughtering feast, huh?
However, the pig-killing feast in my hometown is indeed quite delicious. The pigs are all raised on cooked food, so the meat is very fragrant and fresh, with no fishy smell at all.

Mu Qingyang's favorite thing was to go from house to house and eat the pig-slaughtering feast. She didn't have to help much and could enjoy a delicious meal.

Shi Quankai said to Zeng Wenjie, "Wenjie, you're amazing! You actually opened such a big supermarket!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Thanks to everyone's help, I couldn't have done so much by myself. Even Niu Bai works very hard. If he hadn't gone to Zhongyuan Province to learn from President Yu, no one could have managed Haoyoulai so well for me."

However, Shi Quankai knew very well that this was Zeng Wenjie helping his son. Otherwise, given his relationship with President Yu, he could have easily asked President Yu to send a manager over to help with training.

"I still want to thank you," Shi Quankai said.

“There’s nothing to say. When I asked you for help with some things, you just gave them to me without saying anything, didn’t you?” Zeng Wenjie grinned.

What does "fellow villager" mean?
That's what they call "fellow villagers" (乡党).

Shi Quan chuckled and said, "I don't have any special skills, so I can only help with these small things."

Zeng Wenjie checked the time and said, "Let's go to the restaurant, it's almost time. Awesome, call Hua Zai and urge him to come over quickly, so he doesn't dawdle."

Shi Quankai then asked, "Why doesn't Hu Guohua work with you?"

“He just wants to lie down,” Zeng Wenjie commented after thinking for a moment.

Shi Quankai was taken aback, then thought the word "lying down" was very clever; that kid seemed to have always had this kind of personality.

But Shi Quankai still felt that young people should strive harder.

Zeng Wenjie, however, thought it didn't matter. Everyone has their own way of living. Even Diogenes complained that Alexander the Great blocked his sunlight.

If everyone gets involved, what kind of life is that?

To be honest, Zeng Wenjie wants to lie down now, but he can't lie down yet because he hasn't achieved his goals.

His biggest dream in his past life was to save up a few million yuan and then drive his Cadillac Escalade all over the country doing "I don't eat cilantro" (a type of car).
But my lifelong ambition is to do my best to change some of the bad environments and make some useful contributions to my hometown. That's quite a leap.

"What are we eating today?" Mu Qingyang asked happily.

“Ask our General Manager Shi,” Zeng Wenjie said, pointing at Shi Jing with a smile.

Shi Jing said, "Brother Miao, I've already booked a private room! Their food is delicious, my dad will definitely love it."

Miao Laoge is now a completely different company. Its daily table turnover rate is incredibly high, and it has even established itself in other provinces, winning over customers with its excellent service and diverse hot pot offerings.

The Series A funding round was also very successful, with Tangxi leading the investment and throwing in over 70 million yuan. Several listed companies in the catering industry also immediately followed suit.

The members of the Fengzhou Business Alliance were practically spitting fire in their eyes as they looked at Yan Peng, filled with unbearable jealousy. They regretted not being the first person Zeng Wenjie had chosen to support.

Yan Peng reciprocated by offering all members of the business alliance a 50% discount when they patronized Miao Laoge's establishment, prioritizing them with private rooms, and also donating 500,000 yuan to the business alliance for its activities.

Miao Laoge has already taken the lead in operating all restaurants by using the Haidilao model. As long as he proceeds steadily and avoids any outrageous or irrational actions, he will definitely become one of the largest restaurant chains in the country.

Miao Laoge's achievements also became Zhuang Aimin's political achievements.

He spearheaded the establishment of the Fengzhou Business Alliance, and its outstanding achievements are undoubtedly due to his efforts.

Hu Guohua arrived shortly after we arrived at the restaurant.

When it comes to meals, this lazy bum is quite enthusiastic. "Hey, Mr. Shi is treating us today, that's rare!" Hu Guohua shouted loudly as soon as he arrived.

He first made a joke, then smiled at Shi Quankai and said, "Uncle, your son Niubai is really powerful now, I have to call him President Shi."

Shi Quankai was both amused and exasperated. He said, "Sit down, sit down. Stop talking nonsense and let's have a few drinks today."

Shi Jing gave the menu to Mu Qingyang, who happily ordered. She first asked everyone what they wanted to eat, but due to the difficulty in choosing, she ordered what she liked.

Shi Quankai glanced at Mu Qingyang, then couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Hu, where's your girlfriend?"

Hu Guohua said, "Girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend, but he does. Didn't you know that?"

As he spoke, he pointed at Shi Jing, which made Shi Jing blush deeply.

Shi Quankai looked at Shi Jing with some surprise and said, "Really? I didn't know about this. You've been keeping it a secret for a long time!"

Shi Jing chuckled awkwardly, a little embarrassed. Despite his usual boisterous manner, he was surprisingly shy when it came to this kind of thing.

"Why didn't you bring her along for a meal?" Shi Quankai asked.

"I plan to spend more time together, and once our relationship is more stable, I'll introduce her to my parents," Shi Jing said shyly.

Zeng Wenjie said, "Uncle, don't worry. His girlfriend works at my snack shop. She's hardworking and kind, a really good person."

Shi Quankai now trusts Zeng Wenjie completely, and after hearing what he said, he was completely relieved.

Mu Qingyang nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Senior Sister Liu Xu is a super nice person!"

She is also someone who often goes to the snack shop to "stock up" and gets along well with the veterans of the snack shop.

Upon hearing Mu Qingyang's evaluation, Shi Quankai even smiled, and then involuntarily began to imagine himself holding his grandson.

When I came out of the private room after finishing my meal, I happened to run into an acquaintance.

Wang Xuelian was having dinner with a boy at the same table when she got up and left.

Hu Guohua saw her, and she saw Hu Guohua too. Then, a look of panic flashed clearly in her eyes.

"Oh, Guohua, I was having dinner with friends. What a coincidence!" Wang Xuelian asked.

"It's quite a coincidence," Hu Guohua said calmly.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but give him a deep look. Wow, this kid is completely different from how he was in his previous life, acting like he was about to die. It seems he really listened to advice!
Seeing Zeng Wenjie there, Wang Xuelian felt even more embarrassed.

She had a falling out with Zeng Wenjie last year, and afterwards she asked Xue Xiangyao to help mediate, but Zeng Wenjie simply ignored her.

So being caught like this now only doubles the embarrassment!
Xue Xiangyao once wanted to explain to Zeng Wenjie why Wang Xuelian had become like this, but he was directly interrupted because he had no interest in understanding people he disliked.

Mu Qingyang glanced at her with some curiosity, then looked at Hu Guohua.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

Hu Guohua, hands in his pockets, maintaining a cool and handsome image, raised his chin and said casually.

Wang Xuelian hurriedly said, "Let me explain... I really was just having dinner with friends."

Hu Guohua glanced at her and said inexplicably, "Who you eat with is none of my business. Didn't I already say that we have nothing to do with each other anymore?"

Zeng Wenjie patted Mu Qingyang's head and said, "Let's go, stop gossiping here!"

Mu Qingyang was somewhat unwilling as he was pushed out.

Hu Guohua clearly didn't want to say much more to Wang Xuelian, and started walking forward.

Wang Xuelian squatted down on the ground, covered her face, and started crying, though it was unclear whether she was faking it.

Anyway, Hu Guohua ignored him.

The boy who was having dinner with her squatted down and offered her kind words of comfort.

"Baishui Town doesn't believe in tears." Hu Guohua curled his lip and said what Zeng Wenjie had said last summer.

Zeng Wenjie exclaimed "Wow!" and turned to give him a thumbs up, saying, "Looks like you've really inherited some of your father's skills!"

"Get lost!" Hu Guohua said disdainfully.

Shi Jing clicked his tongue and said, "Not simple at all!"

Shi Quankai asked with suspicion, "You and that girl..."

Hu Guohua said, "It's just a little entanglement, don't take it too seriously."

Shi Quankai expressed his incomprehension, because in their generation, dating was always with marriage in mind. Even a great man said that dating without the intention of marriage was just playing around.

"I already realized it. You think you can fool me with these fake tears?" Hu Guohua winked at Zeng Wenjie and said in a flirtatious manner.

Mu Qingyang blinked and said cautiously, "But she seems very sad?"

Hu Guohua turned to her expressionlessly and asked seriously, "Do you think Yang Jingqi's tears will make you feel sorry for her?"

"Oh, then it's nothing." Mu Qingyang said seriously, her little face turning serious.

She had never disliked anyone, but she really disliked Yang Jingqi.

It wasn't because Zeng Wenjie had pursued her, but because she deliberately took photos out of context to ruin their relationship, which made Mu Qingyang think she was both stupid and wicked, and not worth mentioning.

Zeng Wenjie gave Hu Guohua a push, amused, and said, "You can't make that comparison."

Hu Guohua calmly replied, "They're all green tea, what's the difference?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Oh, it seems you're quite the tea connoisseur!!"

Hu Guohua said, "Hehe, having seen countless teas, I've honed my discerning eye. What are mere tea girls worth mentioning?"

Shi Quankai was completely bewildered. Had this young man's conversation evolved to such an advanced level that he couldn't understand a single word?

“Uncle, since you’re in Fengzhou, stay a few more days before going back! Great job! Try to arrange your work in the morning, and then spend the afternoon with your dad.” Zeng Wenjie said.

“Okay!” Shi Jing replied.

Hu Guohua sighed, "Looks like I'll be spending the night alone again."

Zeng Wenjie asked, "Is surfing the internet really that fun?"

Hu Guohua said, "If it's not fun, why do you make games?"

"..." Zeng Wenjie didn't expect this to be a boomerang, so he rolled his eyes and didn't bother to say anything.

Mu Qingyang also said, "Going online is so much fun!"

Zeng Wenjie immediately covered her mouth, preventing her from continuing to be a traitor.

Zeng Wenjie had Mu Qingyang drive him and Hu Guohua back to the university town.

"I never expected that Wenjie would become so successful after going to university!" Shi Quankai couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes..." Shi Jing thought about it and found it quite incredible. His childhood friend had suddenly flown so high, and he even took him with him.

Shi Quankai said, "Although you are childhood friends, you are also in a superior-subordinate relationship. He is your boss, and you are his subordinate. So, you should be more careful when you get along in the future."

“There’s no class relationship between us, and he’s not the kind of capitalist who exploits us to the bone,” Shi Jing said calmly. “Besides, he definitely wouldn’t like our relationship to change into that kind of clear-cut distinction.”

Shi Quankai was taken aback, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Never mind, this is between you two, so I won't say anything more."

He felt that his son had changed a lot in the summer he hadn't seen him, and he was quite impressed. It seemed that his own decades of experience were no longer suitable to be passed on to his son.

Mu Qingyang drove Hu Guohua to the entrance of the Electronic Vocational School. Hu Guohua got out of the car and said, "Thanks!"

Mu Qingyang replied, "You're welcome. Remember to call me when you eat the pig-slaughtering feast."

Hu Guohua was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely call you. We'll get some pork belly and ribs to grill and eat then."

Mu Qingyang nodded happily and said, "Okay!"

Hu Guohua lifted his leather jacket, took out a cigarette, lit it, and walked away with a flourish.

"Andy Lau is quite unique," Mu Qingyang said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

What makes it unique?

"Being yourself is what makes you unique."

"That seems to make sense."

Mu Qingyang gave a light hum, nodded, turned on the turn signal, stepped on the gas, and drove away from the electric school.

Drive along the road and you'll reach the Fengyuan. The five-star general at the gate will lift the barrier for this familiar Audi A8.

But Mu Qingyang stopped the car in front of the already closed snack shop. Zeng Wenjie asked, "Why did you stop?"

Mu Qingyang smiled and said, "May I go in and pick out some snacks to eat back in my dorm?"

Zeng Wenjie then said, "You have the only Super Card that allows you to eat as much as you want at any store across the country. Why ask me?"

Mu Qingyang said, "The door is closed, and I don't have the key!"

Zeng Wenjie casually opened the box, took out the key from inside, and said, "Hey, isn't this it?"

Mu Qingyang said excitedly, "Let's go!"

Zeng Wenjie opened the door of the snack shop and went inside with Mu Qingyang.

Mu Qingyang immediately started happily picking out snacks, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm sure I'll be the most popular person among the kids in the future!"

"why?"

"Because no matter which city I go to, I can get free snacks. In their eyes, I must be the most amazing and will definitely be popular."

"Haha, that's very clear logic!"

Mu Qingyang picked out two bags of snacks and said contentedly, "Swipe my card!"

She took the card out of her pocket; it was the only one of its kind in the world.

Zeng Wenjie had no choice but to turn on his phone and swipe his card for her.

"You've kept your promise to me, so that wherever I go in the future, I can have an endless supply of snacks." Mu Qingyang said gently as he took the card.

"There will be endless games for you to play, countless skins to choose from, and endless happiness to enjoy!" Zeng Wenjie replied with a smile.

Mu Qingyang nodded and said, "I declare that you are the person who loves Mu Qingyang the most in this world!"

Zeng Wenjie proudly raised his head and said, "Of course! Remember to tell your mother about this."

"Ah."

Zeng Wenjie had Tencent install an auto-reply mini-program on Mu Qingyang's mother's account. Although it only contained one sentence over and over again, such a response was still heartwarming.

When Mu Qingyang had nothing to do, he would look through the long chat history and was shocked to find that he used to be really depressed and downcast, and he was almost never optimistic.

But since meeting Zeng Wenjie, the content he shares has become more positive and uplifting.

"Would you like to say a word in Russian to me right now?" Mu Qingyang asked.

“There’s no need for that anymore. No matter how many times you ask, I will tell you passionately that I love you,” Zeng Wenjie said gently as he pulled her into his arms with a smile.

Mu Qingyang then said, "How dare you speak to me in Russian when we had just met?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Who knows? It's just a matter of fate. Love at first sight is that simple."

Mu Qingyang believed all of this.

Because she and Zeng Wenjie had no connection whatsoever; they were thousands of miles apart and complete strangers. Yet, after they met, so many memorable things happened between them.

“Go back! Go! Go!” Mu Qingyang said.

Zeng Wenjie put the snacks into the car, and Mu Qingyang drove the car to a parking space in the startup base.

Zeng Wenjie escorted her back to her dormitory building before returning to the boys' dormitory.

Mu Qingyang returned with two bags of snacks and received a warm welcome from the three gossipy sisters.

Mu Qingyang generously shared a lot of snacks with them.

Ouyang Yun said, "To be honest, Zeng Wenjie may be a bit of a flirt, but he's really good to our Mu Mu. I hope I can find a boyfriend like that in the future!"

Mu Qingyang said, "Yunzi, you're so eloquent, say more!"

Ouyang Yun said angrily, "You don't learn anything good, you only learn from that slut? Call me class monitor!"

Jiang Yu glanced at Mu Qingyang and asked, "You seem to be in a good mood today? So, is there some good news?"

Mu Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "No, I'm very happy when I'm with Zeng Wenjie!"

Niu Fangfang said, "It seems that's true. Your happiness always comes from him."

Mu Qingyang sat back down at her desk, which was covered with photos of her and Zeng Wenjie. Every time she saw them, she felt incredibly happy.

"That bastard Zeng Wenjie is coming to school less and less these days," Ouyang Yun complained.

"If you're so capable, why don't you start your own business? Don't aim too high, just create a company like Snack Panic, that'll be enough," Jiang Yu said sarcastically.

Ouyang Yun scoffed and said, "Do you think I'm Cao Feng? I know my own limitations very well. Besides, I don't have a girlfriend like Mu Mu to bring me good fortune!"

After hearing this, Mu Qingyang turned around and said, "Well said, here's a reward!"

A bar of imported chocolate flew over.

Ouyang Yun hurriedly accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Thank you so much, Boss Lady!"

Mu Qingyang said, "Choosing Fengyuan was truly the best decision I ever made in my life. I'm so happy to have met you all."

Jiang Yu said sarcastically, "Meeting Zeng Wenjie is the real deal, we're just incidental. Don't think I don't know what you're trying to say."

Mu Qingyang said, "Anyway, I've had a very happy time every day at Feng Academy!"

“I really look forward to seeing what kind of face that woman who insulted you will have after she meets Zeng Wenjie!” Niu Fangfang suddenly said.

Mu Qingyang was taken aback, opened his mouth, and then said, "Zeng Wenjie said... he wanted to slap her."

Upon hearing this, the three gossip sisters were stunned, and then their blood boiled with excitement.

"Really? Zeng Wenjie is such a high-profile person. If someone were to slap her, the impact would be huge and terrible!" Ouyang Yun said slowly after regaining her composure.

“Men hitting women is bound to cause public outcry,” Jiang Yu said.

Mu Qingyang said, "It's good that he has the intention, but we still can't let him do it!"

Just imagining that scene made Mu Qingyang very happy.

However, Zeng Wenjie is under a lot of attention, so we certainly can't let him do such a thing for himself; the impact would be too great and too bad.

Ouyang Yun looked at Mu Qingyang and said seriously, "Would you be looking forward to the day when you meet her?"

Mu Qingyang shook his head and said, "I don't think I have that idea. Let's just go our separate ways from now on."

Niu Fangfang, however, was chewing on a packet of instant noodles and said indistinctly, "I think Zeng Wenjie will definitely keep his word, but he must have laid the groundwork before doing this."

Jiang Yu said, "It's also possible that it was just something he said in anger."

Mu Qingyang said, "Even your angry words made me very happy."

Ouyang Yun said, "Don't even mention Zeng Wenjie wanting to slap her, I want to slap her too! Who told her to bully our best classmate, Xiao Mu?!"

Before we knew it, we were talking about lights out time.

As Mu Qingyang lay down on the bed, he heard Ouyang Yun ask, "Are you looking forward to this happening?"

Mu Qingyang thought about it seriously for a while, and then said weakly, "I think... I'm a little bit looking forward to it."

"Haha, it seems our Mumu holds a grudge quite a bit," Jiang Yu laughed.

Mu Qingyang said softly, "I'm not holding a grudge... I just often think about how I got through those years. So, if someone did that to me, I would think that when I was a child, I must have thought that someone would stand up for me in the future, which is why I survived..."

The three gossipy sisters all thought at the same time, why doesn't Zeng Wenjie have the ability to travel through time? It would be best if he could just travel back to the year when Mu Qingyang was bullied!
