What to eat in the morning?
Of course, it's a specialty of Jiangcheng: hot dry noodles.

Add three bowls of tofu pudding.

Sweet.

Surely no one would eat spicy tofu pudding?

There was also a basket of soup dumplings.

Mr. Jiang paid for the takeout, a breakfast for three people, plus delivery fee, it only cost a little over thirty yuan in total.

I can't stay overnight and freeload off everyone.

Although Boss Jiang wasn't a江湖人 (jianghu person, meaning someone from the underworld or gangster world), he was very particular about江湖 etiquette. In Hubei dialect, this kind of back-and-forth banter is called "称称土土" (chengcheng tutu).

"Ordering takeout is so cheap now, it must be more expensive to eat out, right?"

He was still talking about this while eating breakfast at the table.

"Because several food delivery platforms are currently engaged in a price war, offering massive subsidies, our company's employees can usually get coffee for just one yuan."

Jiang Chen smiled in surprise, "Really?"

"Yeah, you don't know?"

"I haven't been ordering takeout much lately."

What Boss Jiang said was actually true. He was living off the Fang family in Shacheng, and he didn't have to worry about food or drink.

However, his answer didn't address the key point.

Who sounded the horn for the subsidy war?

It was Suda that took the lead in paying social security for its riders.

As the financial backer behind the scenes, Mr. Jiang was completely unaware of this new round of fierce competition in the food delivery market.

It's not absurd.

It can only be said that Mr. Jiang is in a very high position.

If you have to do everything yourself, you'll be exhausted.

Some things, if subordinates can handle them, won't be reported.

"Then you've lost out big time; you missed out on so much profit."

Wu Yufei chuckled to herself. Of course, she was now fully made up and looked stunning. In just one night, her entire demeanor had changed dramatically. She was much more relaxed, as if she had unloaded a heavy and old burden from her heart.

"So that's true."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

Can't I stop forcing a smile?
He didn't get much benefit from the promotion.

But whose wool is being plucked?
hiss.

real--

wrong.

I don't seem to feel anything.

He had no idea.

Also.

The fierce battle between the various food delivery platforms, with their menacing expressions and clenched teeth, is nothing compared to what Mr. Jiang is dealing with.

Do you feel anything when you pluck a hair?
No.

Three hundred billion Australian dollars is a joke.

But in Boss Jiang's sycophantic gold account, which is not regulated by any institution in the world, there is a real five trillion yuan in cash.

Although he tried every means to launder the money into the "real world," the amount was simply too large.

It's like digging a drainage ditch for the Atlantic Ocean; it has an effect, but it's not very efficient, and it requires long-term and stable patience.

Ok.

There's no more 5 trillion now; some of it has flowed out.

Although it's just a change of venue, from "virtual assets" to physical capital, the sense of security that deposits provide is unmatched by any other form.

Ok.

I wonder if Mr. Jiang felt anxious because of this, and felt that he couldn't continue to lie flat and should move around a bit?

"It's alright, he's not short of money."

Qinggege knew a little about Boss Jiang's background, but she hadn't revealed it to Wu Yufei yet.

They're so sincere; they've already opened their hearts to her. Why put pressure on them or increase the intensity of their efforts?

"That's true. This is a benefit for ordinary people; capitalists shouldn't get involved."

Wu Yufei nodded with a slight smile, the two women singing in perfect harmony.

What happened?
How did their relationship progress so rapidly in just one night?

"What did you two talk about last night?" Jiang Chen asked curiously, putting a soup dumpling into his mouth. Soup dumplings should have thin skin and be juicy to taste good, but this one was pretty bad. Although it was very affordable, he would still have to give it a bad review later.

"This is... a secret among women."

Wu Yufei chuckled to herself as she finished her noodles and put down her chopsticks, saying, "I'm full."

"You still have to go to work today, right?"
Jiang Chen said.

That mature woman in black stockings upstairs went to work; it's not the weekend.

"Hmm. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No need, you go do your thing."

"Well... take your time eating."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely close the door for you."

Wu Yufei smiled, pursing her lips.

There was no lingering sadness in their parting; it was just an ordinary farewell. Wu Yufei left without a trace of melancholy.

"I never expected that there was such a hidden gem of a girl in your class."

After Wu Yufei left, Fang Qing, who was still having breakfast at Wu's house, gave her a very high evaluation.

"Every girl at our Shacheng Middle School is a treasure."

What is emotional intelligence?

"I underestimate you."

Princess Qing calmly held the tofu pudding, her lips covered in white foam. Jiang Chen ignored it and asked in confusion, "What?"

Qinggege became increasingly expressionless, and then lowered her head to slurp up a mouthful of tofu pudding.

"I never imagined that someone as ordinary as you would still have girls who liked you."

Jiang Chen chuckled, finding it increasingly amusing the more he pondered it, and his smile grew even more unrestrained and joyful.

"Haven't you heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? At that age, everyone is very innocent. They don't care about fame, fortune, poverty or wealth. They only care about whether there's a connection. Otherwise, why would so many school beauties be paired with blondies? You see, once you leave high school, let alone society, even in college, do girls still give those idle young men a second glance?"

"So you mean you benefited from your high school years?"

"What kind of bonus? What constitutes a bonus? But I have no connection with them whatsoever," Jiang Chen retorted and declared.

"It's best to stay away from them."

Jiang Chen smiled in surprise.

"If you put it that way, I have to disagree. Would I harm her?"

Although Boss Jiang deliberately omitted a word, Fang Qing filled it in for her.

That's what true understanding is.

"You won't harm her, but distance makes the heart grow fonder. Keeping your distance from her is the best way to take care of your old classmate."

It is not about excluding those who disagree with you.

Not to mention.

Last night, we drank on the terrace, and both she and Wu Yufei were completely honest with each other.

She is not someone's official girlfriend.

So it's not her place to manage it.

Let's take a step back.

Even if she were, Wu Yufei wouldn't be seen as a threat.

The other party was fully aware of this and made no attempt to conceal it.

Pretty.

It is a scarce resource.

But it depends on which level you're referring to.

This is a top-level match.

Ordinary players are just cannon fodder.

It was because she knew the other person's feelings were pure and innocent that she didn't want them to get hurt, and that's why she spoke from the perspective of a true bystander, an outsider, and an alumnus.

"There is a kind of beauty that, to bring out its greatest value, should remain forever in our imagination and memories."

Mr. Jiang couldn't help but think of the brief conversation he had with his female classmate on the terrace that morning.

"I know."

He chuckled and said, "The reason why the white moonlight is the white moonlight is because it hangs high in the sky. If you get too close, it becomes tofu pudding."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen reached out and pulled a tissue from the napkin box.

"Go ahead and wipe it." (End of Chapter)
