Hot pot restaurant.

Su Qing looked at Shen Qingxi, who was arguing with the waiter, and had a dark expression on her face.

"Shen Qingxi, that's enough, that's enough."

Shen Qingxi sat down with a displeased expression.

Su Qing said, "You've been arguing about a piece of tableware for so long. Can't you be a little more mindful of your status? You're a domineering CEO!"

Shen Qingxi said, "Stop joking. What CEO uses group buying? Besides, this is obviously unreasonable. Our hotel doesn't charge for tableware, but they charge five yuan a set. Why should they do that?"

Most importantly, why aren't tableware included in the group-buying deal?

Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think you're quite right. Aren't they normally two yuan a set?"

Shen Qingxi said, "See? See? You think it's unreasonable too."

Su Qing said, "It's unreasonable, but watching you argue has made me hungry, and I just want to eat right now!"

Shen Qingxi shrugged: "Fine, if you want to be a victim of injustice, then it's your decision!"

Su Qing rolled her eyes.

"To be honest, Shen Qingxi, I don't think you should be in charge of the Shen Group. You should become a restaurant review blogger and focus on reforming the catering industry. That's your future!"

Shen Qingxi's eyes lit up: "Is that even possible? This touches on a blind spot in my knowledge. Please explain in detail!"

Su Qing sighed helplessly, "You really do listen to what I say but not what I mean."

Shen Qingxi said, "That's why I say it, it's so hard for you intellectuals to talk. You have to listen carefully to what they say and understand the deeper meaning behind it."

Just like those reading comprehension exercises I did in school, even the author's own thoughts weren't as comprehensive as those in the answer key.

Su Qing chuckled: "You can even do reading comprehension?"

Shen Qingxi slammed his hand on the table: "What are you talking about? What kind of talk is this? Haven't you heard my legend? Before I was ten years old, I was the recognized child prodigy of Jiangcheng."

Everyone in Jiangcheng's high society knows him.

Su Qing nodded: "Yes, I've heard that. It's a popular saying in Jiangcheng that one should have a son like Shen Qingxi before he turned ten, but after ten, well..."

Su Qing looked Shen Qingxi up and down, then let out two ambiguous "hehe" sounds.

Shen Qingxi keenly sensed that he was being underestimated.

However, he simply couldn't refute it.

To be honest, it's really not his fault.

Isn't it normal for a time traveler to be so mature and capable, far exceeding the expectations of his peers?

So, before he was ten years old, he was really amazing.

After all, the things he was learning were simple, and he could handle them all.

However, everything came to an abrupt end when Shen Qingxi was in fifth grade.

That year, many new students transferred to their class.

The class, which originally had thirty students, expanded to fifty.

The most outrageous thing is that those kids, including Pang Cheng, are actually learning two linear equations in two variables.

To be honest, Shen Qingxi's memory of learning was limited to linear equations in one variable.

He was completely baffled by anything beyond a linear equation in one variable.

Even if he were to create a chicken-and-rabbit puzzle, he wouldn't be as fast as Pang Cheng.

Then, Shen Qingxi realized something clearly.

Something's not right about this world.

These kids are just too damn outrageous.

So Shen Qingxi simply lay down and let things be, since he was going to inherit the family business anyway.

So this is the reason why, according to rumors in Jiangcheng, Shen Qingxi became just another ordinary person after the age of ten.

In fact, he surpasses those kids in terms of knowledge, experience, and interpersonal skills.

However, these little brats are really terrifying.

Although they were only classmates with Shen Qingxi for a year, after that, there were transfers or something.

But the shock they brought to Shen Qingxi that year was something he would never forget.

After all, Shen Qingxi had never seen a ten-year-old child engrossed in reading a book on Machiavellianism every day in his previous life.

Shen Qingxi had wondered more than once if he had been set up by capital.

But even if Shen Qingxi racked his brains, he would never have imagined that those kids he thought were so outrageous were actually...

They were all sent by many prominent families across the country to contact him.

Shen Qingxi still feels that those kids were specially invited by his parents to motivate him.

Later, realizing they didn't understand the incentives, they removed them all.

That's right, Shen Qingxi wasn't unaware that something was wrong with those kids.

However, his vision was limited, and his imagination was also lacking.

The biggest source of capital he could think of for orchestrating this scheme was his parents.

I never imagined that so many people across the country were playing along with him!

Shen Qingxi didn't ask his parents either.

After all, his parents had put in a lot of good intentions. If he were to expose them directly, would he really think his parents had no temper?

Soon, the waiter brought over the hot pot base.

There were other dishes as well, which were basically served together.

Su Qing stretched her neck and took a sniff.

"It smells nice."

Shen Qingxi said, "It's really good, it tastes a bit like Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot."

Su Qing said, "I think you're just hungry."

Shen Qingxi rolled her eyes: "Of course I've been venting my anger for you, how could I not be hungry?"

Su Qing said, "Thank you so much. Let's get started."

As she spoke, Su Qing picked up the plate of mutton rolls, intending to put them into the already boiling hot pot.

Shen Qingxi quickly stopped him: "You've never had a proper meal either. Let me teach you. A friend of mine from Inner Mongolia told me that you can't just throw lamb rolls and beef rolls into the pot."

If you overcook it, just use chopsticks to pick it up, put it in the pot, and eat it when it changes color. It's perfectly cooked when it's overcooked.

Su Qing was taken aback: "Are you sure? Your friend from Inner Mongolia taught you this? It seems familiar, isn't this a way of eating tripe? Didn't your friend from Sichuan and Chongqing teach you this?"

Shen Qingxi said, "Tripe is cooked seven or eight times up and down, how can that be the same? Stop talking nonsense, watch me!"

As Shen Qingxi spoke, he immediately demonstrated a move to Su Qing.

Su Qing's mouth watered as she looked at the meat on Shen Qingxi's chopsticks.

"Are you done?"

Shen Qingxi glanced at it: "Alright, it's changed color."

Su Qing nodded: "That's fine then."

Then, to Shen Qingxi's utter disbelief, Su Qing directly inserted the two flexible chopsticks between Shen Qingxi's chopsticks, prying them apart.

Then, he took the lamb rolls that he had just cooked.

Then put it directly in your mouth.

Her eyes lit up instantly: "It's so tender! It's delicious!"

Shen Qingxi got anxious: "No, why don't you cook it yourself? It's mine."

Su Qing rolled her eyes: "Did you write your name on it?"

Shen Qingxi was furious, so angry, but she couldn't refute what she said. What was she to do?

Shen Qingxi said fiercely, "You've gone too far."

Su Qing stuck out her tongue: "So what? So what!"

Shen Qingxi snorted, ignored Su Qing, and picked up another piece of mutton roll.

This time, however, he was smarter and he was wary of Su Qing.

He had already decided that this time, when Su Qing made her move, he would react immediately, and then laugh at her mercilessly when he saw her suffer a setback.
