I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 055

“Qiangzi, back to the kitchen!”

The boss took a deep breath and instructed, “Serve them!”

Monkey and the others were not in a hurry. They played on their phones and drank tea, looking incredibly leisurely.

One dish took them a full two hours to finish.

At two in the afternoon, Monkey finally stood up. After paying, he called out, “Full and satisfied, time to go back to sleep!”

Everyone stood up and walked out of the restaurant, laughing and joking.

…

Around five or six in the evening.

Monkey and his group came again.

It was the same as before, each person had a table, with a plate of peanuts or stir-fried greens.

During this time, many customers pushed open the door and entered, but as soon as they saw all the tables occupied, they turned around and left.

After all, unless necessary, no one wanted to share a table with a stranger.

They stayed until past nine in the evening. Seeing that there were no pedestrians on the street, Monkey and the others finally left.

The dry pot restaurant’s income for the entire day was 328 yuan, which was gross profit.

A restaurant next to a university, with a daily gross profit of 328 yuan, might not even cover the water, electricity, and gas bills, let alone the expensive rent.

Looking at Monkey and the others leaving, Qiangzi couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what should we do?”

“Let’s wait and see!” The boss sighed.

What could he do?

They were clearly there to cause trouble, but they were within the legal limits.

He couldn’t even lay a hand on them. If he dared to, they would immediately lie on the ground and extort him to death.

He wasn’t a local, so he could trick students, but facing these local hooligans, he really had no way.

The next day at noon.

Monkey and his group rushed to the dry pot restaurant again during mealtime.

This time, the boss was more sincere than yesterday and directly pulled out five thousand yuan in cash.

Glancing at the money on the table, Monkey smiled, “Boss, what are you doing? Coming to eat and giving money? Quickly take it away, and serve the food!”

Monkey definitely couldn’t take the money.

Once he took it, his reputation would be completely ruined, and no one would be willing to ask him for help again.

Although he wasn’t a good person, he still had this much credibility, otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he was now.

…

Third day.

During lunch break, Lin Xian was practicing calligraphy in the dormitory when Wang Zejing excitedly ran in, gloating, “Brother Lin, that dry pot restaurant is closed. There’s a transfer notice on the door.”

Transfer?

This was just the beginning!

The real show had just started.

Lin Xian said without raising his head, “You call Monkey and tell them to call the number on the transfer notice and talk to that boss about subleasing. I’ll get you ten thousand yuan later, you give it to Monkey and them.”

Wang Zejing was stunned and asked doubtfully, “Brother Lin, you want to take over that dry pot restaurant?”

“What do I want that broken restaurant for!”

Lin Xian shook his head and chuckled, instructing, “Just tell Monkey, he knows what to do!”

His business was messed up by Monkey, so he wanted to transfer and run away?

It wasn’t that simple!

Lin Xian’s goal was to make it impossible for the other party to even transfer.

If the business couldn’t be done and the shop couldn’t be transferred, then they would just lose money on rent!

The rent for shops at the entrance of Nancai University was not cheap. Based on the dry pot restaurant’s area, the annual rent was at least over a hundred thousand yuan.

Adding the transfer fee and renovation costs, that boss had invested at least over two hundred thousand yuan.

It’s not too much to make you lose over two hundred thousand yuan for scamming me over a thousand yuan, right?

As for the money Lin Xian invested, it was just a drop in the bucket, just two days’ system earnings.

Wang Zejing wasn’t stupid. He had already reacted at this point, giving a thumbs up and praising, “Holy cow, Brother Lin is awesome! That boss must be fuming right now!”

After saying that, Wang Zejing suddenly thought of something and asked, “Brother Lin, what if that dry pot restaurant keeps holding on?”

“Then let them keep at it! If thirty thousand isn’t enough, then it’s a hundred thousand. If a hundred thousand isn’t enough, then it’s three hundred thousand.”

Lin Xian looked up at him and smiled, “For me, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!”

Wang Zejing looked at him with reverence.

This flex, he gave it full marks!

…

After practicing calligraphy, Lin Xian took his wallet and withdrew another ten thousand yuan from the ATM.

Taking the money, Wang Zejing swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Lin, how much pocket money do you actually get a month?”

Although his family was also wealthy, their liquid capital wasn’t actually much. His monthly living expenses, at most, were only ten thousand yuan.

Compared to Zhang Kai and the others, he was certainly very extravagant.

But compared to Lin Xian, Wang Zejing immediately felt like a pauper.

He had withdrawn twenty thousand last time, and another ten thousand this time.

The key was that Lin Xian looked indifferent, just like withdrawing a few hundred yuan, not caring about the money at all.

Lin Xian said calmly, “Around four to five hundred thousand, I guess!”

Hearing this, Wang Zejing was completely convinced.

How could he compare?

Someone else’s pocket money for one or two months was almost equal to his father’s annual income.

After handing the money to Wang Zejing, Lin Xian no longer bothered with the dry pot restaurant.

Although it cost him thirty thousand yuan, he got his revenge, and the other party would only lose more than him.

As he said, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.

On the contrary, problems that money couldn’t solve were the real trouble!

Enjoying life was the main thing. He didn’t have the time to waste on such trivial matters. The ladies at Jincai were waiting for him!

…

In the afternoon, it was still standing at attention.

The temperature had risen instead of falling these past few days, with the highest temperature approaching 38 degrees Celsius.

Jinling truly deserved its reputation as one of the Four Furnaces!

Just yesterday afternoon, two girls suffered heatstroke from the sun and were still in the infirmary on IV drips.

Considering safety, the instructor only made them stand for half an hour before ordering a break.

Not long after sitting down, Lin Xian saw Ling Youyu holding a cup of iced watermelon juice, running over with her short legs.

These past few days, the little girl would bring him a cup of iced watermelon juice every day.

Taking the watermelon juice, Lin Xian stared at her flushed little face and asked, “Why do you always bring me watermelon juice?”

“I… I-I-I…”

Ling Youyu’s stammering immediately drew laughter from the surrounding crowd.

For a moment, she looked even more embarrassed, her little face so red it looked like it was about to drip water.

Lin Xian smiled slightly, pulled her to sit down, and comforted her, “It’s okay, if you don’t want to say it, you can communicate by typing.”

Sitting beside him, Ling Youyu clearly felt her heart pounding wildly.

Taking out her phone, she quickly typed: I thought you liked watermelon!

Likes watermelon?

Lin Xian was first stunned, then he understood what was going on.

On the first day of military training, he took a bite of the watermelon the senior sister handed him, so she thought he liked watermelon.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian found her very interesting and couldn’t help but ask, “We’ve known each other for a few days, and I still don’t know your name.”

Ling Youyu smiled shyly and typed: My name is Ling Youyu!
