Song Yan, although a playful guy with good moral values, always looked down on Shen Wenxi, who was notorious for his misconduct, so the two rarely interacted.
Now, his "friendly reminder" ... his kindness was naturally not meant for Shen Wenxi, but for Meng Chuyue.
Apart from Shen Ci, there wasn’t a single good thing to say about the Shen Family, and he didn’t want Meng Chuyue to have a falling out with Shen Wenxi, inviting trouble.
Shen Wenxi furrowed his brows and stared for a while at Song Yan, who wore a mischievous smile, then turned to look at Meng Chuyue, "Teacher Meng, the noodles you made are delicious, I would like two more bowls."
"Sorry, Shen Wenxi, you need to reserve these noodles every morning, five yuan per bowl."
Such delicious noodles for only five yuan a bowl did not seem expensive to Shen Wenxi; he nodded, "I got it."
No sooner had he finished, than Song Yan, like a well-behaved student, raised his hand to speak, "Teacher Meng, will it be the same soup noodles tomorrow?"
Suppressing a chuckle, Meng Chuyue nodded, "Yes, it’s the same every day."
Song Yan made a pained face, "Teacher, isn’t having the same thing every day a bit too monotonous? Could you switch it up with the fried sauce noodles from before, or something else?"
The other students immediately chimed in.
Meng Chuyue responded with a smile, "If it weren’t for the fact that soup noodles are easier to make, I wouldn’t be willing to provide them for you. All right, students, work hard in your studies, aim for a full score, order up."
That was a close call; they almost missed out on having soup noodles.
But with Meng Chuyue’s cooking skills, why not just open a noodle shop? Wouldn’t it be a booming business?
Or is it that she’s really talented in tutoring, which makes running a tutoring center more profitable?
Most students thought this way and suddenly found new confidence in improving their academic performance, while a few thought about getting their parents to talk to Meng Chuyue about acquiring her secret noodle recipe.
Those who thought this way... Xu Zhan was one, and Shen Wenxi was another.
Han Muyang had also considered it, but recalling that Shen Ci was starting a business, he immediately dismissed the idea.
However, Xu Zhan and Shen Wenxi’s hopes were soon dashed by Meng Chuyue, when a girl asked with a laugh, "Teacher Meng, will you open a noodle shop or a restaurant in the future? Let me know if you do, I will definitely support it."
Meng Chuyue said smilingly, "I’m also eager to open such an establishment, but the reason my food is so delicious is because it includes some ingredients that are like high-quality fruits. They are new products from scientific research institutions, and we can only open when production of these new products increases."
Their desire for delicious food means they can only study hard now.
Right, they should eat more of the daily sliced pork soup noodles. Although five yuan a bowl is a bit expensive, if they only eat for fifty days, it seems affordable...
No, it hurts so much.
The little money they had saved up was about to be all gone.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Meng Jinhua and Meng Yinhua came along with their children, Meng Yajun who was in the second year of high school, and Meng Yuzhu who was in the first year.
Meng Yinhua didn’t really want to come.
He worried that Meng Chuyue would misinterpret his visit as greedily seeking favors after her success in the college entrance exams.
But he couldn’t resist the persuasions from both the Meng Family and the Yue Family: We’re not taking advantage of her, right? Just pay the tutoring fee properly, right? You can’t let your own pride harm Meng Yuzhu’s studies, can you?
Meng Yinhua didn’t believe Meng Lixing and Meng Jinhua had no ulterior motives, but faced with the unending tears of Meng Yuzhu, thinking that even if he didn’t show up, Meng Lixing and Meng Jinhua would, he decided to give it a try.
He anticipated Meng Chuyue would reject Meng Yajun and Meng Yuzhu due to resentment, but to his surprise, Shen Ci, who was in charge of enrollment, pointed to the advertisement at the entrance and informed them, " ... the first cohort of students is full already. If you’re willing, you can register for the second session starting on the 20th of August."
