In Jiangzhou High-tech Entrepreneurship Park, inside a luxuriously decorated office.
"Xiaowei, how co you have ti to run to my company today?"
Duan Yiming’s eyes were puffy, and his hair was ssy like a bird’s nest, seemingly unwashed for days, emitting an unpleasant sll.
He scratched his head, frowned at him, and said impatiently,
"If you have sothing to say, say it quickly, I’ve been busy these days!"
"I see now why you disappeared for days."
He Xiaowei, like Deng Linhui, cos from a wealthy family. He had previously rented a two-story building across from Jiangzhou University’s stadium, planning to open a gym and buy so sports equipnt. But luck wasn’t on his side, as barely anyone went there in the year after the stadium opened.
Now, he has returned the rented building, and he’s invested in a flower shop in the city, not caring much about making money, just looking for sothing to do so he wouldn’t be too idle.
So ti ago, he was invited by Deng Linhui and Duan Yiming to have a al at Jiangzhou University’s second dining hall, where he was imdiately drawn to Jiang Yu’s soup dumplings and mouthwatering chicken. He made ti to eat there almost every day, but who knew Jiang Yu would close during the National Day holiday, almost driving him mad.
Luckily, he saw the notice Jiang Yu posted at the door, knowing today was the opening of the Seventh Dining Hall. He planned to go in the morning, but his mom dragged him to a blind date, which delayed him until now.
So, he imdiately ca here to find Duan Yiming, intending to go to the Seventh Dining Hall together for lunch.
He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a smile,
"Your company is doing so well now, you can hire people, why exhaust yourself like a dog as the boss? Earning so much money and not enjoying it, are you out of your mind?"
"If you have sothing, just say it, I’m really busy!"
Duan Yiming said impatiently, glaring at him, "If you have nothing, hurry up and leave, I don’t have ti to chat with you, go find Lao Deng to play!"
With that, he hurriedly stood up, intending to continue working.
"Hey! Why are you in such a hurry? With your bad temper..."
Seeing him like this, He Xiaowei quickly stood up and pulled him back, saying,
"Jiangzhou University’s Seventh Dining Hall is opening, aren’t you going to try it?"
Seeing that Duan Yiming seed not to have reacted, he added, "Boss Xiao Jiang’s Seventh Dining Hall! Soup dumplings! Mouthwatering chicken!"
"What?! The opening is today?"
Duan Yiming finally realized, looking at He Xiaowei in shock, then slapped his forehead, frustratedly saying,
"Damn it, I’m just finding out now, I’ve been working overti for over a week, I’ve gone stupid!"
"See, what did I say? You can’t rush to solve project problems, working overti won’t solve it right away, you’re almost dizzy!"
He Xiaowei slapped his thigh heavily, saying,
"Alright, hurry up and take a shower, change clothes, wash off the stink, and then we’ll go have sothing good at the Seventh Dining Hall and give your brain a rest. Maybe when you co back, you’ll suddenly solve the project’s problem!"
"Alright, alright! Wait for , wait for , I’ll shower and co out!"
Whether he listened or was just tempted by Jiang Yu’s soup dumplings and mouthwatering chicken, Duan Yiming imdiately turned and went out. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to shout,
"To hell with overti, I’m going to relax!"
This sudden shout startled the receptionist, who looked at her boss in shock.
She thought their boss had gone ntally unstable from all the overti!
Seeing Duan Yiming out, He Xiaowei sat back on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, with a smug smile on his face:
"Ha! I really thought you could resist the temptation of Boss Xiao Jiang’s food.
Turns out, it was all an illusion!"
...
At Jiangzhou University, inside the administration building.
Xiong Bingsheng was sitting at his desk reading a docunt when the fixed phone beside him suddenly rang. He leaned forward to check the caller ID, couldn’t help but chuckle, and picked up the receiver.
"Hello! Is that Mr. Xiong? I’m Niu Wenlin from the logistics departnt!"
"Alright, alright, Lao Niu, why are you pretending with !"
Xiong Bingsheng unceremoniously interrupted him, chuckling as he said,
"Just say what you need from .
Let tell you, don’t try to lure with good wine, we can’t drink during working hours, don’t make break the rules!"
"Hehe, don’t say it so harshly, when have I ever made you break the rules?"
On the phone, Niu Wenlin also laughed and asked,
"By the way, is that Boss Xiao Jiang’s Seventh Dining Hall opening today?"
"I don’t know, he doesn’t need to notify when he opens."
Xiong Bingsheng held back a laugh, deliberately feigning a puzzled tone as he asked,
"By the way, aren’t you the head of logistics? The dining hall is managed by logistics, didn’t he notify you?"
"Uh this..."
Niu Wenlin was montarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, just ssing with you."
Xiong Bingsheng noticed that Niu Wenlin was starting to breathe heavily, and quickly smiled and said,
"I’m planning to go have a look soon, and take the opportunity to have lunch there and taste how the food is.
As the head of the logistics departnt that manages the dining hall, aren’t you planning to inspect it?"
"Go, definitely go!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Wenlin imdiately said, "Wait for , I’ll be right there!"
Lately, Niu Wenlin has been eagerly anticipating the opening of Jiang Yu’s Seventh Dining Hall.
Only when the Seventh Dining Hall opens can he eat Jiang Yu’s dishes whenever he wants, without worrying about lining up with students and being laughed at.
Now that he’s finally waited for the opening of the Seventh Dining Hall, how could he not go and indulge himself?
The only reason he called Xiong Bingsheng was that he felt it might be embarrassing to go alone.
anwhile, at the student affairs office, Xiong Bingsheng, who had just hung up the phone, was extrely pleased. After all his efforts, Jiang Yu’s Seventh Dining Hall was finally open, and per his suggestion, there was a "Faculty Exclusive Window" in the dining hall.
This way, not only students but also the teachers who often dine at the school could occasionally enjoy the delicacies prepared by Jiang Yu.
This is probably the most satisfying thing he has done over the years:
He helped students with entrepreneurial ambitions, secured a benefit for the faculty, and achieved success in his work...
It was like hitting three birds with one stone!
Xiong Bingsheng leaned back in his chair, enjoying a cup of tea while waiting for Niu Wenlin to arrive.
Just then, soone knocked on the office door, and a head peeked in from outside:
"Mr. Xiong, there’s a docunt here that needs your signature!"
"Oh, bring it in."
Xiong Bingsheng sat up straight, put his teacup on the table, and reached for the docunt.
While flipping through it, he casually looked up at the young staff mber and asked,
"Xiaodu, are you still living in the student dormitory? Hasn’t the logistics departnt arranged for you to stay in faculty housing yet?"
"Yes, I’m still living in the student dormitory."
Xiaodu smiled helplessly and said,
"I asked the logistics departnt a few days ago, and they said the faculty dorms are quite full right now and suggested I stay in the student dorms a bit longer."
In recent years, the school has hired quite a few teachers, so rookies like him who just stayed on at the school have to temporarily stay in the student dorms.
Living in the student dorms is indeed inconvenient; he couldn’t even bring his girlfriend there, and Xiaodu was quite troubled by this. Unexpectedly, Director Xiong suddenly showed interest in this matter, which excited him.
If a leader could make so inquiries, surely the logistics departnt would resolve the issue?
He was looking forward to it, but unexpectedly, Director Xiong suddenly changed the topic:
"Oh, so you’re eating at the dining hall every day now?"
"Yes, it’s impossible to use high-power appliances in the student dorms... Plus, there’s no kitchen, making it hard to cook."
"Is that so? How are the als in the dining hall? I’ve heard the taste isn’t great."
"..."
The more Xiaodu listened, the more bewildered he beca, wondering what the leader really ant to say.
But he didn’t dare to not respond, so he said, "The dining hall’s als are just so-so."
"I heard there’s a Seventh Dining Hall that opened next to the sports field, and there’s even a faculty exclusive window. Haven’t you tried it?"
"Seventh Dining Hall? No, I haven’t..."
"Try it when you have ti. I’ve heard from many students that the food at the Seventh Dining Hall is fantastic, and unforgettable once tasted!"
"Huh? Ah! Sure, I’ll try it when I have the chance."
"Young man, don’t think I’m joking with you. Once you’ve tasted the als at the Seventh Dining Hall, you’ll understand."
Xiong Bingsheng couldn’t help shaking his head upon seeing Xiaodu’s clearly perfunctory deanor.
He glanced at his watch, and it was about ti; Niu Wenlin should be downstairs. He patted Xiaodu on the shoulder, smiling,
"Never mind, if you don’t want to eat at the Seventh Dining Hall, that’s your choice. But don’t regret it later! Haha!"
He wouldn’t have bothered to talk so much nonsense with this young man if it weren’t to help promote Jiang Yu’s Seventh Dining Hall among the faculty!
You’re just a recent graduate; what would I have to fool you about?
Xiong Bingsheng pursed his lips, quickly signed the docunt, handed it back to Xiaodu, and without saying anything further, stood up and left the office to et up with Niu Wenlin downstairs.
"..."
Watching Xiong Bingsheng wordlessly turn and leave, Xiaodu was a bit dumbfounded.
What did the leader an, going around in circles like this? Was it just to tell to eat at the newly opened Seventh Dining Hall?
And saying if I don’t eat at the Seventh Dining Hall, I shouldn’t regret it later...
Oh, I get it!
This Seventh Dining Hall must be run by one of your relatives?!
