Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Xu Bo and Bai Feifei arrived at the hot pot restaurant.

After lunch, Xu Bo first helped Grandpa Wang move his luggage, and then went to class in the afternoon. Sitting in the back row, Xu Bo looked sleepy. He had already mastered everything the teacher was talking about in his previous life.

Helpless, he could only take a nap all afternoon.

The ringing of the alarm clock was when Yu Haoqi woke Xu Bo up.

"You don't pay attention in class, what will you do during the exam!"

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I'll get first place and dazzle you."

After yawning, Xu Bo invited the others outside to welcome Wang Kangmei back. After a round of drinking, Xu Bo felt his liver couldn't take it anymore.

So for the next few days, Xu Bo stayed in his dorm sleeping, only occasionally slacking off during classes that required attendance.

Whenever the teacher asked a question, either Bai Feifei or Yu Haoqi would wake him up, and then he would stand up calmly and answer the teacher's question fluently.

Everyone found it very strange.

"How's the inspection of the goods this morning going?" Xu Bo rested his arms on the table, providing a comfortable resting place for his head.

"Senior Sister Gu has already settled the accounts, and the drinks, meat, and vegetables are all in the kitchen. We're just waiting to open tonight."

This was a large class, with students from several classes crammed into the classroom in the building. Bai Feifei had been influenced by Xu Bo these past few days, and she would sit in the back row of the classroom for some easy classes, calling it "saving the sleeping master".

"Bring it here, let me take a look."

Bai Feifei always carries a small notebook with her, in which she records the daily expenses and routine operations of the hot pot restaurant, as well as some of her own new ideas.

"Here you go." Bai Feifei quickly took out a small pink notebook from her bag and handed it to Xu Bo.

The moment he took the notebook, Xu Bo reached out and grabbed Bai Feifei's wrist, then opened the notebook and began to speak.

"Look, this part is wrong. The store doesn't use 100% of its meat every day. The 90% you wrote here isn't entirely accurate either."

"Because we source our goods directly from the market, we have to process them again when they get back to the store. The loss rate for this part should be between 10% and 15%, which is correct."

As Xu Bo spoke, he gently rubbed Bai Feifei's wrist with his dog paw. Over the past few days, Bai Feifei had become less averse to contact with Xu Bo, but she still showed some resistance to physical contact.

Xu Bo is slowly guiding and probing, trying to see where Bai Feifei's bottom line is.

"Don't be like this." The voice was a bit loud, and the teacher on the podium glanced over.

Reluctantly releasing the delicate skin, Xu Bo withdrew his hand, his face filled with extreme grief and indignation.

"It seems we still need to train them slowly."

Several older women have left the store in the past few days, but fortunately, the part-time college students have persevered, and several full-time employees and part-time college students from the neighboring school have also joined the company.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the morning classes. Students filed out and ran towards the cafeteria.

"Shall we go eat at the restaurant?" Ever since Xu Bo started running the hot pot restaurant, the roommates have hardly eaten in the cafeteria anymore. They've been eating at hot pot restaurants outside, enjoying different kinds of food every day.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going to the counselor's office."

Xu Bo left after he finished speaking.

Xu Yuanping called him yesterday, saying he would be back this morning and asked Xu Bo to come to his office to summarize the recent class affairs.

Running against the flow of people, Xu Bo finally arrived at the office building and gently knocked on the door of Xu Yuanping's office.

"Enter."

Hearing that familiar voice, Xu Bo really missed it and quickly pushed the door open to go in.

The moment Xu Bo saw Xu Yuanping, he felt that his advisor had lost some weight.

"Sit down and tell me what's been happening in our class lately, my class monitor."

Xu Yuanping smiled and invited Xu Bo to sit down.

"I know about the toughest part. I called you over to ask how your startup team is doing."

Xu Bo was taken aback at first, then a warm feeling washed over him. He hadn't expected that his advisor had called him over specifically to ask about his startup group.

"Everything's done, we're now in the final stages." Xu Bo quickly took out a cigarette. Now there were only the two of them left in the office; the other teachers had gone to eat.

Naturally, one can enjoy oneself without a care in the world.

The smoke began to gradually spread. "Well, yeah, the brat's got some really good cigarettes now."

After chuckling and making a sarcastic remark, Xu Yuanping composed himself and began to speak seriously.

"I heard from Professor Wen that you did very well in that entrepreneurship group, and that your professional skills are very strong, far surpassing many senior students."

Xu Bo covered his head and grinned, "My dad's a teacher, so I've loved learning since I was little because of my family environment."

"The school recently revised the entrepreneurship document, and it now applies to freshmen as well. They can provide venues and free equipment. It will officially launch next semester. I heard this from a rumor, so I can't guarantee it's true. I wonder if you're interested?"

"If you'd like, I can enroll you. I doubt anyone among the freshmen is more competitive than you."

This was good news, and Xu Bo immediately declared, "If the organization needs me, I'll definitely step up right away!"

This kind of activity definitely requires certain quotas, meaning that each grade level must submit a certain number of participants; this is a task.

But for Xu Bo, this really solved his urgent problem; the equipment was a huge help.

If there's anything missing at Hangzhou Dianzi University, it's definitely computers.

Moreover, Xu Bo also has many good projects in mind.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll register you. Get ready, we need to get started as soon as the next semester begins."

After giving them a few words of advice, the two lit up their cigarettes and chatted for a long time.

Upon learning that Xu Yuanping was going away for further training and would likely be promoted soon, Xu Bo became happy.

He took the cigarettes out of his pocket and stuffed them into Xu Yuanping's drawer, along with the prepaid card for the hot pot restaurant outside.

"Teacher, I opened a hot pot restaurant outside, and I go there to eat whenever I have time."

Frowning, Xu Yuanping said seriously, "How much money did you invest in opening the hot pot restaurant? Can you afford it?"

Xu Yuanping began to blame Xu Bo in his heart for his recklessness in opening a hot pot restaurant, a business that requires heavy capital investment, just after entering university.

"It's alright, counselor. I've taken care of everything. If it succeeds, that's a good thing; if it fails, it'll be a valuable lesson."

Hearing Xu Bo's words, Xu Yuanping had no choice but to put aside his unease and spoke again.

"If things go wrong, get out of there immediately."

Xu Bo agreed repeatedly, and before leaving, he mentioned it casually.

"Teacher, is the pressure in Shanghai really that high? I have an aunt who's over 30 and still hasn't found a boyfriend."

"When asked, the answer is always the same: I'm under a lot of pressure. I'm currently in a period of rapid career advancement and don't dare to casually get involved in relationships."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuanping said, "If it's Shanghai, the pressure is indeed great."

"Oh, what a pity. She's also a university teacher, and she's beautiful, but she's never been in a relationship, which is making her family very anxious."

Xu Bo was referring to Luo Qiaoqiao's aunt, Li Yahan.

Xu Yuanping revealed this information to Xu Bo, and Xu Bo naturally reciprocated.
