Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

The first bite.

Zhang Jingtai's eyes began to light up.

Then, the second bite, the third bite...

He finished the whole orange in just five bites.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as wolfing down food.

But if this happened before they had even eaten, it wouldn't be a problem.

But this scene is happening now, even though Zhang Jingtai has already eaten quite a bit.

The fact that he can eat like this only proves one thing: the orange must taste absolutely amazing.

One minute.

Zhang Jingtai closed his eyes and savored the lingering taste in his mouth.

Then, he opened his eyes and looked at his empty palms, feeling somewhat unwilling.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Su Jiang asked jokingly.

This time, neither words of refusal nor rebuttal could be uttered by Zhang Jingtai.

He didn't really want to say nice things, but somehow, he felt like his mouth was out of his control: "Delicious, really delicious!"

"I've eaten quite a few delicious oranges, both domestic and international, but compared to this orange, they're all absolutely awful!"

After Zhang Jingtai finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any more oranges like these? Could you give me another one? Or tell me where you bought them? I want to buy some too."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together in a somewhat lewd manner.

Su Jiang rolled his eyes. You should know that this one orange cost me a thousand shock points. Where did I get so many?

"That's all. If you want to eat, you'll have to grow your own." Su Jiang said, pointing to the planting manual placed in front of Zhang Jingtai.

"You mean if we grow them ourselves, can we really grow oranges that taste this good?" Zhang Jingtai looked at the manual in front of him with some disbelief.

Su Jiang nodded: "Think about it, if you can grow oranges like this, people all over the world will be scrambling to buy them. And at that time, your dad might even come to you asking for oranges to eat."

"Will he still think that farming is a waste of time?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jingtai with a wicked smile.

It's like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit in front of it.

"Tch, I won't give it to him." Zhang Jingtai became a little pretentious, but his eyes seemed to be expecting something.

Su Jiang continued, "I have the land, the technology, and the seeds. It's up to you whether you want to plant them or not. If you don't, I'll find someone else to take over."

He was about to pick up the booklet that was placed in front of Zhang Jingtai when he said that.

He watched as Su Jiang reached out his hand.

Zhang Jingtai was conflicted.

屮!

My own father is really ruthless; he brought this guy over here, directly targeting my weakness.

If you could grow such delicious oranges yourself, you could absolutely revolutionize the whole country and even the world.

Not to mention, I not only enjoy eating, but I also enjoy gardening.

Other wealthy young men might be interested in thrilling entrepreneurial ventures, but Zhang Jingtai's childhood dream was simply to be a farmer—someone who works with the soil.

Imagining the orange trees laden with fruit, Zhang Jingtai felt as if he were a child, accompanying his grandmother to the fields and looking at the rice paddies.

Ultimately, Zhang Jingtai arrived just as Su Jiang was about to encounter the manual.

He suddenly reached out and pressed the manual down under his hand.

"I did it, damn it."

Seeing this, Su Jiang smiled and said, "Alright, then I hope you can do well. Persistence will lead to success, and people will look at you with new respect."

"I just felt that you, Brother Jingtai, were not a mediocre person; it's just that we didn't give you the opportunity to develop yourself in the areas you were interested in."

Zhang Jingtai didn't look at the planting manual here; instead, he stared intently at Su Jiang.

"I want to know, is this your idea, or my father's?"

Su Jiang shook his head: "It's not just my opinion; your father probably has more confidence in you than I do."

After saying that, Su Jiang got up and left Jiangnan Hot Pot.

He firmly believed that Zhang Jingtai needed more time to think things through at this time.

Sure enough, in the VIP room, Zhang Jingtai was sitting there blankly, pondering Su Jiang's words.

After a few breaths, Zhang Jingtai came to his senses, picked up the booklet, and started reading it while eating hot pot.

"Wow! Oranges can be grown like this!"

"No wonder the orange I ate earlier had no seeds at all; it turns out it was processed like this!"

"This planting technique is simply unheard of; there's actually such a way of growing crops."

"Maybe they can really grow delicious oranges. The person who wrote this booklet is definitely a genius. I wonder where Su Jiang got it from."

......

Zhang Jingtai watched it four or five times in total.

At the same time, he ate all the food in front of him.

"belch!"

Zhang Jingtai contentedly put the booklet into his pocket.

After letting out a burp, I prepared to pat my butt and leave.

But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped.

"Excuse me, sir, you haven't paid yet."

The staff member spoke to Zhang Jingtai politely with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhang Jingtai was stunned.

"Wasn't I just eating in the VIP room? Do VIPs have to pay too?"

"Do you know that your boss is my father's godson?"

Zhang Jingtai said somewhat unconvinced.

"Excuse me, sir, it was our boss who told us to ask you for money. Our boss also asked us to pass on a message to you."

The staff member explained politely as usual, but blocked Zhang Jingtai from leaving.

"屮!"

"What did you say?"

Zhang Jingtai swore.

"Our boss said: 'When you grow oranges like these one day, you can also use that same confidence to ask him for money.'"

Although the staff did not understand why Su Jiang wanted them to say these words, they still told Zhang Jingtai every single one of them.

"..."

Zhang Jingtai was speechless and a little angry, but the hot pot was indeed delicious, so he obediently paid the money in the end.

Anyway, my dad gave me the money.

At the same time, Zhang Jingtai had a plan in mind.

I'm determined to get my revenge no matter what.

I was put off by Su Jiang's arrogance right from the start of the day. Su Jiang is the owner of Jiangnan Hot Pot, and now he's having his staff ask him for money.

It just doesn't make sense.

Suddenly, Zhang Jingtai thought of something.

He took out his phone and made a call.

"Hey, Fatty, do you have the highest-level VIP membership at the Jiangzhou Lifeng Hotel?"

"Lend me this sometime, I need it."

"No need for gambling, I don't have time lately, I'm busy."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jingtai revealed a smug smile.

"Su Jiang, you just wait. Although you helped me, one thing is one thing, and I'll still get my revenge!"

P.S.: I'd like to ask for a small gift.

Thank you to user 6394208 for the inspiration capsule.
