Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 627 Gift
——【Jealous Lemon】

This is the fifth ingredient that Millipede has obtained in this plane, and it is also the ingredient with the highest star rating, with a full 7 stars.

The lemon tree, which was nearly two people tall, was hung with lemon fruits that looked like hearts. As soon as the millipede approached, the lemon fruits shook their bodies and chirped.

"This is so abominable! Why is this guy so lucky to pick up an amnesiac cosmic chef!!!"

"He made a lot of money from running a restaurant and now lives in a villa! How come such a good thing didn't happen to me?"

"Not only that, he also became the principal, and used despicable means to take the power of teachers and students for himself, which made him look like a hero. As a result, those unfortunate people have to look up to him."

"He says one thing and does another, has no ideals, and is as slippery as an eel! Really, he has figured out the rules of the game!!"

"That's right, it's so abominable. He's also having multiple relationships at the same time, dating several girlfriends at once, including big stars. Doesn't that guy know that bigamy is illegal in his country?"

"I'm so angry. If you look closely, he's quite handsome. Why does he get all the good things in the world?"

The millipedes were also happy when they heard this. These little lemon mouths are all very sweet and they are good at complimenting people.

It’s a pity that he has to go back to school to meet Xia Yin, otherwise he wouldn’t mind listening here for a while longer.

But it doesn’t matter, once this lemon tree is transplanted to the desktop farm, there will be some to listen to.

Malu then put the talkative [Jealous Lemon] into the collection bag and led the teachers and students back to school.

It was already dawn. Li Zhengwei, Zhou Zuolin and others were catching up on sleep after finishing their intensive classes. Only Cao Youyi was still waiting for Ma Lu and other teachers and students to come back.

"You should go to sleep too." Malu said to Cao Youyi.

"No need. It's already this late. I'll go to rest after I finish competing with Xia Yin." Cao Youyi said.

"Sleeping is more important. I'll take care of Xia Yin and the others," Malu said. "Are you still worried about me?"

"I am indeed a little worried." Cao Youyi said calmly, "Besides, you are the principal, so it is not convenient for you to show up for some things."

"Hey, I always feel like you'll have a hard time with this kind of personality."

"When I see the school thriving and the students growing, I don't feel the hardship," said Cao Youyi.

"If my brother were still alive, he would be very pleased to see Houde now. He did something that he couldn't accomplish in his entire life, but you did it in less than a month."

"Brother Jinhua is a good man." Malu said.

"It's a pity that he is not a good principal."

"Don't say that. It's the targeting and suppression by the Mingxia Group that has caused the school's situation to deteriorate. By the way, do you have any clues about the feud between you and the Mingxia Group?"

Cao Youyi shook her head and said, "Of the six schools of Mingxia Group, one is in the northwest, and the remaining five are all in the Xindu area, while we have been operating locally.

"My brother was forced to go to Xindu to recruit students this time. Before that, we had no intersection with the Mingxia Group. During this period, I also visited some old alumni and teachers. According to their recollections, we did not offend Mingxia in any way."

"That's about profit." Ma Lu said, "There must be something in the school that Mingxia has taken a fancy to. Considering Houde's historical background and its current ranking in the Ministry of Education, Mingxia Group definitely doesn't want the school's reputation.

"Well, they probably aren't students either." After three weeks of contact, Malu was certain that there was no one in this group of students that the famous hero would like.

It's like Tsinghua University won't go to Pingdingshan Coal Mine College to poach people, and Mingxia won't target Houde because of the issue of students.

The same goes for teachers. When Malu took over the school, there were only three teachers in the entire Houde school, including Cao Youyi, and all three were very young.

Since people have been excluded, the only thing left is objects.

The famous hero must have taken a fancy to something of Houde.

Malu asked, "Did the previous principal, or any of the previous principals, leave behind any special relics?"

Cao Youyi still shook her head. "The old principal was a man of integrity. He sacrificed his family to help others in need. When he left, he only had a few old clothes, a pair of leather shoes, and a torn quilt. As for the principals before him, it was too long ago and I don't know much about them.

"But Houde's bad situation has not just happened in the past three to five years. If they really had any treasures, they wouldn't have kept them until now."

"That's Tudi." Malu touched his chin and said, "When I first came here, I thought our school was very big. It actually occupies half of the mountain."

"But we are in Pingcheng, not Xindu, after all. The price of land is not that exaggerated," Cao Youyi said. "With the financial resources of Mingxia Group, if we really want land, we can easily buy several hills. There is no need to use such tricks to seize it."

"What if there is something underground that we don't know about, such as a gold mine?" Malu came up with a new guess.

Cao Youyi was startled when she heard this. "I didn't expect this. Let me invite a trustworthy geologist to take a look at Shouyang Mountain in a few days."

"Well, if we can find out why the Mingxia Group came, we can also take the initiative."

After that, Malu chatted with Cao Youyi for a while.

The first to arrive were Lu Yingying and Wei Ruonan from Pingcheng Daily. Both women had heard about Xia Yin's challenge and smelled big news.

So she came to Houde early in the morning. Lu Yingying had other thoughts in mind. Today, she wore a white polka dot short jacket, matched with a blue wavy skirt, looking young and fashionable.

As soon as she saw Ma Lu, she took his arm and said coquettishly, "Principal Ma, you won't forget our agreement, will you?"

"How is that possible? I will never forget you, Reporter Lu, even if I forget anyone else."

Malu nodded to Wei Ruonan who was standing beside him, then took out a cassette player, which he had bought online for more than a hundred yuan, and brought it over with a carrot sticker on it.

In another dimension, this old-fashioned tape recorder has become a thing of the past.

But it's still a novelty here.

After getting it, Lu Yingying couldn't wait to fiddle with it, trying to press different buttons. As she pressed the player, Teresa Teng's "The Moon Represents My Heart" floated out from the walkman.

As the song "You Ask Me How Deeply I Love You" sounded, Lu Yingying was immediately mesmerized by this graceful and moving golden song, and she held Sui Xinting in her arms like a treasure.

There was also a flash of surprise in Wei Ruonan's eyes. The two girls had completely forgotten about the interview and gathered together to study their newly acquired Walkman.
