Luofeng finished changing the gauze on Bai Lu’s wound, applying new dicine, and wrapping it up tightly.
"How much did it cost?" Bai Lu asked as soon as they left the hospital.
"900 yuan!" Luofeng didn’t hide the cost and even showed her the paynt slip.
"I’ll pay you back, just wait for ," Bai Lu whispered.
"Yeah, I know. But there’s sothing else I need your help with," Luofeng said.
"Sure!"
"You’re not going to ask what it is?" Luofeng asked, surprised.
She didn’t speak.
Luofeng continued, "Do you know how many schools are near us in total?"
"I know that. A few days ago, when I was sorting express deliveries, I ntally noted them down. There should be seven," Bai Lu replied.
"Do you know the total number of students in these schools?"
"No clue."
"About a hundred thousand!" Luofeng said. "Next, I’ll take you to see the seven schools around us. Pay attention to the small supermarkets, convenience stores, fruit shops, and so on."
"Oh!" Bai Lu nodded.
Luofeng imdiately drove off.
Their first destination was the Normal University, located next to Shu City Second University. When they arrived, Luofeng began to assess the situation. Bai Lu quietly took notes on her smartphone, which had only cost a few hundred yuan. Her phone screen seed unresponsive, requiring multiple taps each ti she tried to use it. Her notes detailed the small supermarkets and coffee shops in the area.
"Follow !"
Luofeng led Bai Lu to a cafe. This cafe, a small establishnt serving cold drinks and coffee, had dim lighting. It was obviously the kind of place couples favored for dates. The staff were likely part-ti students from the Normal University.
A staff mber quickly handed nus to Luofeng and Bai Lu.
"See what you’d like to drink; you must order sothing. I’ll have questions for you later."
"Oh!" Bai Lu nodded in acknowledgnt.
The staff mber pursed their lips, probably disapproving of Luofeng’s direct tone with Bai Lu. After all, most girls dislike male chauvinism.
Luofeng ordered a waterlon juice for 10 yuan. Bai Lu, after browsing for a while, chose a red raisin yogurt for 14 yuan.
While waiting for their drinks, Luofeng lowered his voice and said, "It’s not even eight o’clock yet, and business is this slow. We can conclude that the drinks here are diocre at best!"
Soon, their drinks were served.
Luofeng took one sip and didn’t bother with a second. His assessnt was right. Such a product could only be described in one way: Not worth a second try unless absolutely necessary.
Bai Lu awkwardly picked up a spoon and straw with her left hand and began to taste her drink.
"Is it good?"
"It’s good!" Bai Lu hesitated for a mont but still nodded.
Luofeng thought for a mont, then gestured to the part-ti staff for a spoon and took a scoop himself from her cup.
Bai Lu’s face turned a little red, though it wasn’t very noticeable in the dim light. Fortunately, Luofeng only took one spoonful, and Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
About ten minutes later, Bai Lu finished her red raisin frozen yogurt.
Only then did Luofeng begin his critique, "The taste is very average!"
Bai Lu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"’We can overlook the quality of the red raisins, given the price is only around ten yuan. But using yogurt powder as a base ingredient? That’s going too far. They should at least use fresh yogurt, don’t you think?" Luofeng then added with a slight smile, "I forgot to tell you, try to eat sparingly. We’ll be tasting many more things later."
"Ah?" Bai Lu’s mouth fell open in surprise.
"Let’s go!"
Luofeng led the way. The two of them left the Normal University and headed to the University of Science and Technology.
The procedure was the sa as before. First, they noted down the small supermarkets, convenience stores, coffee shops, and similar businesses around the university. Finally, they found a coffee and cold drink shop to sample its offerings.
Around ten o’clock at night, Luofeng and Bai Lu had visited all seven schools.
"Co with ."
Luofeng beckoned Bai Lu into a fruit shop. Inside, Luofeng personally selected so Kiwis and three types of Red Raisins, getting about half a kilogram to one kilogram of each.
Back in the car, Luofeng said, "When you get back to your dormitory in a bit, I have a task for you. You and your roommates need to evaluate all these fruits."
Bai Lu gave Luofeng a puzzled look, not quite understanding what he ant.
Luofeng started the car. "We bought three types of kiwis: imported green-hearted, yellow-hearted, and ordinary green-hearted. The price tags are on them. I need you all to rate their taste, write down your scores, and indicate which ones you would actually buy."
"You need to do the sa for all three types of Red Raisins."
"Oh!" Bai Lu nodded.
"The evaluation needs to be fair and honest. For example, if the Yellow-hearted Kiwi is 18 yuan per half-kilogram, would you be willing to buy it? Understand?"
"Mm-hmm!"
"Later, when you get downstairs, contact your roommates and ask them to help you carry the fruit. Don’t worry; they’ll definitely be willing to help," Luofeng said with a smile.
"Oh, okay," Bai Lu replied, still nodding briefly.
...
Around ten in the evening, Luofeng dropped Bai Yue off at the girls’ dormitory.
Liu Yue and the others were waiting downstairs.
"Hello, Life-Managent Master!" Liu Yue greeted him proactively.
Luofeng replied with a smile, "Good evening, Classmate Liu. Oh, I have a favor to ask. I’ve already told Bai Lu about it. After you all go back, please make sure to help out."
"Sure, we’ll definitely help with whatever the Life-Managent Master arranges!" Liu Yue agreed readily.
Luofeng waved goodbye and returned to his own dormitory.
The Audi couldn’t be returned today. He’d just have soone co pick it up tomorrow.
This guy? On a video call? With a high school sophomore? As soon as Luofeng entered the dormitory, he witnessed Zhang Long’s rather "beastly" side.
WangGui, a burly guy, was scrolling through short videos and chuckling strangely. God knows what videos of scantily-clad girls he was watching.
The girls in those short videos always seed to have ani-perfect figures. The reality, though? Heh.
After washing up, Luofeng lay in bed and began sending ssages to Duanmu Yunji, Little Fairy, Bai Ningbing, and others. For a ’Ti Managent Master’ like him, juggling these conversations was a trivial matter.
