Jiangzhou University, girls’ dormitory building.
In a dorm room, Liu Sili and a few other girls gathered together, four pairs of big, grey eyes staring intently at the computer screen in front of them, carefully reading each line, while chattering away:
"Ugh! That senior who replied is so annoying, saying that it’s just as well the freshn have military training, so there are fewer people to fight with them for food! Even if we freshn don’t fight for it, he might not get it anyway!"
"And also! That senior is speaking so carelessly, saying that no matter how good the food is, it’s just to fill your stomach, it’s all the sa! Then why doesn’t he just eat grass every day?!"
"Ah, n, they’re all pigs’ feet, not a single decent one!"
"..."
As they continued talking, their topic changed again:
"Hey, this newcor’s suggestion isn’t bad, to have the ’Jiang Family Dumpling’ shop open a special channel specifically for us freshn, even if the quantity is limited, first co, first served, that’s better than nothing!"
"But isn’t that a bit difficult? Opening a special channel requires soone to manage it, wouldn’t that increase their costs?"
"I think so too, even if the shop owner knows, they probably won’t care, after all, even if the freshn can’t go, their dumplings and hot and sour soup don’t have any trouble selling, they’re not even enough!"
"..."
Three or four girls chatted away like a flock of sparrows, yet ended up discussing nothing substantial.
"Sili, why aren’t you saying anything?"
At this mont, the girl called Linlin suddenly spoke up, reaching out to put a hand on Liu Sili’s shoulder, gently shaking her,
"Since you thought of attracting attention by posting since the beginning, you probably also thought about how to achieve your goal, right?"
Indeed, the popular post about freshn military training on the campus forum wasn’t posted by any other freshn, but was Liu Sili’s idea, discussed among the four girls in the dorm and finally written by Liu Sili herself.
As for the userna "203," it’s nothing mysterious, just the dorm number of Liu Sili and the other girls.
"I’m not Zhuge Liang, how could I think that far ahead?"
Liu Sili held Linlin’s hand down to stop her from shaking, and said with a smile,
"I just thought at the ti, with just a few girls in our dorm, we can’t do anything, so why not post online instead.
Firstly, it’s expressing our thoughts, and secondly, if other freshn share our ideas, maybe the situation will turn around?
After all, there’s strength in numbers."
"You’re not Zhuge Liang, you’re Zhuge Li, just as smart!"
The girl from the North turned to look at Liu Sili, her face showing so admiration,
"See, once you posted, lots of freshn responded."
"Yeah, now our post has beco a hot topic, with lots of attention, I bet the owner of the cafeteria’s dumpling shop is aware of it too."
Thinking of this, Linlin was a bit excited, her big eyes sparkling, she looked at Liu Sili again,
"Sili, what do you think, how would the dumpling shop owner feel?"
...
"What can I think?"
In the "Jiang Family Dumpling" shop, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but turn to glance at Hu Zhihai, chuckling,
"Freshn military training is a very serious matter, is it sothing I can interfere with?"
Before Hu Zhihai could speak, he waved his hand,
"Just watch what’s happening, don’t ss around, the school will naturally handle student affairs, we just need to do our own job."
"Relax, I’m not stupid enough to make trouble on purpose, am I?"
Hu Zhihai pouted, muttering,
"I’m just watching for fun; haven’t you noticed that our shop’s fa is getting bigger and bigger? Recently, two posts related to our shop have beco hot topics!"
"The bigger the fa, the bigger the responsibility."
Jiang Yu was quite indifferent to these. In this world, everything has its pros and cons; anything could be a double-edged sword, and if not handled well, it could hurt oneself.
"In tis like this, we need to be more cautious and just do our duties. Look at those so-called internet-famous shops, once a small problem is exposed, it’s often a fatal blow."
"Okay, okay, the more you talk, the further you drift! You’re great at everything, but you’re always so seriously-minded, it gives a headache!"
Hu Zhihai waved his hand with a look of disdain, quickly saying,
"Let’s eat, let’s eat! It’s almost two o’clock, if this continues, I feel like I’ll get stomach problems from starvation!"
With that, he turned and waved at Yan Tongtong, "Xiaoyan, go serve the soup!"
"Oh, oh!"
Yan Tongtong had been standing nearby, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn’t help but cover her mouth as she giggled. She quickly responded and skipped over to the stove to dish out so soup.
On the other side, Lu Shuwu had already brought over the freshly stead dumplings, steaming hot with a rich aroma.
The few of them sat around and started eating together.
Even though they’d been eating dumplings and hot and sour soup for several days, both Hu Zhihai and the others continued to eat with relish, their faces filled with enjoynt.
"This is great, if I could eat like this every day, I’d be satisfied for life!"
With a mouthful of dumpling, Hu Zhihai took a sip of hot and sour soup to soothe his throat, his face full of contentnt. As he stroked his stomach, he sighed,
"Just in these few days, I feel like my happiness index has skyrocketed!"
"If you just like eating dumplings, then when the new dishes co out tonight, you won’t get any."
Jiang Yu was not in a rush like him, eating slowly and leisurely. He glanced at Hu Zhihai, deliberately saying,
"I’m mainly worried that after eating the new dishes you won’t have room for dumplings, and if your happiness index drops, that wouldn’t be good."
"Exactly!"
Lu Shuwu, who was eating enthusiastically, listened and couldn’t help but laugh. He hadn’t forgotten being woken up by Hu Zhihai in the middle of the night last night, and with the chance for "revenge," he naturally wouldn’t miss out, and added,
"Zhihai’s happiness index has finally risen so high, if it drops down, it would be a sha. Let him keep eating dumplings to maintain it."
"Co on! Lao Jiang, if you really do this, then that’s not okay!"
Hearing this, Hu Zhihai beca anxious,
"Look at , struggling day and night these days, waking up early and busy all the ti, even if no work rit, there is hard work, right?
With new dishes, surely I deserve a portion!"
Saying so, he glared at Lu Shuwu, "threatening,"
"And Xiaolu, you shut it! Do you want to co ho to sleep tonight or not?"
Seeing Hu Zhihai’s anxious expression, the few of them wanted to laugh but refrained, enduring with difficulty.
For a mont, the shop was filled with a lively atmosphere.
