Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

The entrance to the Jiangnan Hot Pot restaurant in Jiangzhou.

Su Jiang returned to the restaurant, and the staff were all excited to see him.

Because they already knew that Su Jiang was the owner of Jiangnan Hot Pot.

There was no way around it; Su Jiang was just too handsome. They had a deep impression of him, and even if they encountered him on the street, they would definitely recognize him at a glance.

One female staff member even came up to Su Jiang and flattered him, saying, "Boss, why don't you go in? I'll wait for you."

Su Jiang waved his hand speechlessly: "No need, just do your own job and don't worry about me."

"Boss, would you like me to bring you a chair so you can sit and wait?" The female staff member still didn't give up, wanting to show off in front of Su Jiang.

"I said you don't need it, you can go in now."

Su Jiang waved his hand again: "If you delay work again, I'll have the manager deduct your wages!"

Startled by Su Jiang's words, the female staff member immediately slunk away, wiggling her hips as she went back.

"Honestly, he's the epitome of a bootlicker," Su Jiang muttered discontentedly.

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Zhang Jingtai, the one who had really messed up his father's life last time.

"Brother Jingtai, over here." Su Jiang waved to him.

Zhang Jingtai recognized Su Jiang immediately: "Oh, it's you! Why did you make my dad pay for dinner with me today?"

He was in a good mood because the money Zhang Qingshan had just given him had arrived in his account, enough for him to live a good life for a while.

So, for the sake of money, he didn't make things difficult for Su Jiang.

"Brother Jingtai, let's go in and have some hot pot together." Su Jiang led Zhang Jingtai directly into the restaurant.

"Huh? This is the VIP room??" Zhang Jingtai was also a little confused after entering. When did Jiangnan Hot Pot have a VIP room?

Zhang Jingtai himself had eaten at Jiangnan Hot Pot many times, but he never knew there was a VIP room there.

"Because Jiangnan Hot Pot is mine, I can use this VIP room at will."

Su Jiang said calmly.

However, in Zhang Jingtai's eyes, this calmness was just Su Jiang subtly putting on airs.

"Huh?!"

Zhang Jingtai exclaimed in surprise, somewhat shocked, but he didn't say it aloud.

This Jiangnan hot pot, which is popular all over the country, actually comes from Suzhou.

At the same time, Zhang Jingtai felt incredibly embarrassed, realizing he was less capable than a student, allowing a kid to successfully show off in front of him. He was determined to get his revenge.

After the two sat down, Zhang Jingtai was quickly tempted by the aroma of Jiangnan hot pot.

He immediately started eating.

Su Jiang asked with great interest, "Brother Jingtai, where did you learn your plant-growing skills?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingtai, who was enjoying his meal, paused for a moment after hearing his words.

Then he looked up, stunned: "Why did you ask that?"

"Haha, the other day in one of your houses, I saw those very well-maintained potted plants and flowers, so I asked about them, and your father said you planted them," Su Jiang said.

"Yes, I did plant them. I learned how to do it with my grandma."

Zhang Jingtai put down his chopsticks and began to speak with a somewhat profound look in his eyes.

"My dad was in the army, so I grew up living with my grandparents."

"From the age of six until I became an adult, I rarely saw my father. He didn't even come back when my grandmother passed away because he was on a mission."

"After my grandfather passed away, he came back. After he came back, he was busy with his own things and basically didn't care about me much."

"I have no feelings for him. I've loved green plants since I was a child because every time I plant something, I think of my grandmother and her gentle guidance to me."

"Back then, I was a naughty child, but she never scolded me or hit me. She would only call me a little rascal."

"Later, when it came to my father, he thought that my planting trees was a sign of me being unambitious, and that my growing flowers and plants was a waste of time. He called me a spendthrift and a good-for-nothing."

"I also find it very pointless. We have different values, so I might as well be the spendthrift he calls me and the good-for-nothing he calls me! Since I've already been told this, if I don't do something about it, wouldn't it be pointless to be talked about like this?"

For some reason, after being slightly guided by Su Jiang, Zhang Jingtai seemed to have found an outlet, frantically venting his dissatisfaction and long-suppressed resentment.

Su Jiang wondered why, after so long, had no one noticed Zhang Jingtai's unusual behavior?

But he soon realized that everyone who approached Zhang Qingshan was trying to curry favor with him; how could they possibly go back and say that Zhang Qingshan's teaching methods were wrong?

This is a typical case of a father who is too domineering, causing his child's individual needs to be unmet. In addition, Zhang Jingtai seems to have never mentioned his mother, so there must be some unspeakable hardship behind her.

With a family in disarray and Zhang Qingshan always busy, he simply doesn't have time to spend properly with Zhang Jingtai.

This naturally led to this consequence.

"Actually, farming isn't such a bad thing. Godfather may not be fully aware of this, but in fact, many places and many people in this world started their businesses in agriculture."

"Like the United States, although it is a technologically advanced country, its agriculture is also among the world's best, and the annual export volume of many agricultural products is astonishing."

"Speaking of which, food is the most indispensable thing for people living in this world, so after seeing your green plants, I really wanted to work with you to do some planting."

Su Jiang directly stated his main purpose in bringing Zhang Jingtai here today.

Because he felt that Jiao Ruyi was struggling to keep up with the orange-making technique he had.

Jiao Ruyi himself didn't understand it and wasn't interested at all. Miler also noticed this problem, so he mentioned it to Su Jiang again, saying that Jiao Ruyi wouldn't work and they needed to find someone who knew a little about it, or at least liked farming.

So when Su Jiang saw that Zhang Jingtai was idle all day long, but still had some expertise and interest in planting, he came up with this idea.

We need to get Zhang Jingtai involved in the planting industry.

"No way, I won't do that. I'm going to gamble and play around with women." Zhang Jingtai shook his head.

However, Su Jiang clearly saw that Zhang Jingtai's eyes flickered slightly when he first heard his words.

"Take a look at this first, then try this orange." Su Jiang took out a planting manual and an orange.

Su Jiang obtained this orange from the system.

One orange cost Su Jiang a thousand shock points.

But Su Jiang felt it was necessary, otherwise just relying on a few seeds and verbally saying how delicious it was wouldn't attract anyone at all.

"So you mean to grow oranges?" Zhang Jingtai said nonchalantly, picking up an orange.

He still harbored some resentment towards Su Jiang, because Su Jiang was Zhang Qingshan's adopted son, so he felt that Su Jiang was sent by Zhang Qingshan.

He didn't want to give Zhang Qingshan that face.

Thinking that Zhang Qingshan had given him money today, Zhang Jingtai symbolically took a bite of the orange, said, "This orange is really awful," and then turned and left.

So he picked up the orange and started peeling it.

However, when he dug his fingernail into the orange, a strange sensation came from his hand.

"Um?"

He gave a soft "hmm," quickly peeled the orange, and then put it in his mouth and took a bite.
