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

"Manager Tang, I think we've almost finished. How about we switch to the next game?"

At 8 p.m., Xu Bo, Song Leisong, and Tang Guofan sat in a private room at a restaurant, drinking and chatting.

"Alright, we had a good time today, shall we play the next round?" Tang Guofan rubbed his stomach and grinned lewdly.

"Next match!" Song Leisong stood up.

He drank the most during the meal, but he still looked great.

"Brother Tang, I won't be going to the next one. My girlfriend is waiting for me."

After settling the bill, Xu Bo came to Tang Guofan's side and said softly, "I've asked my buddy to keep you company. You two have a good time when you get there. I've made all the arrangements."

"It's alright, go ahead." Tang Guofan waved his hand, not caring at all. He just wanted to get to the venue as soon as possible and have some fun.

"Just mention Zhong Qiangguo's name when you get there, everything is arranged."

Xu Bo gave Song Leisong a word of advice.

Before coming, Xu Bo had already communicated with Zhong Qiangguo. This place was one he frequented; the environment was nice, and he also had a membership.

After waving goodbye to the two, Xu Bo bought a drink and rinsed his mouth to remove the taste of alcohol.

The phone kept ringing. When she answered, Gu Lin's voice came through.

"Xu Bo, are you coming tonight?"

Gu Lin had insisted that Xu Bo be there yesterday, and now it's already 8:20. If he doesn't go back, he really won't make it in time.

"I'm not going. I'm dealing with million-dollar deals now, why would I go to the student council?"

As a joke, Xu Bo hailed a taxi, whispered the address, and waited for the other driver to respond.

"Fine, if you don't want to come, then you don't have to." Gu Lin's voice was low, and she seemed somewhat sad.

But she also understood Xu Bo, after all, this is a crucial time for the hot pot restaurant's transformation, and there really wasn't enough time to allocate resources.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Bo pretended to sleep for a while, trying to metabolize the alcohol quickly.

He drank relatively little that night, and the main source of energy came from Song Leisong.

But if you get close, you can still smell the alcohol on them.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at the school gate. I turned on my phone; it was now 8:35, just in time for the last wave of student council recruitment.

After paying, Xu Bo got out of the car and jogged into the building, finding the corresponding classroom.

Most of the people at the entrance had already left, leaving only a few freshmen who hadn't yet had their turn.

After sending a message to Gu Lin that he had arrived at the door, Xu Bo stood there and started chatting with a few people he knew.

"The remaining five students from the Computer Science Department's External Relations Office who are waiting for their interviews, please come in."

Xu Bo was ranked fifth, and it seemed that no one else was coming for an interview.

Xu Bo took a deep breath and exhaled all the alcohol fumes from his mouth.

Upon entering the room, he found seven or eight people sitting in chairs, three of whom Xu Bo recognized.

When Gu Lin saw him appear, a deep sense of surprise unconsciously surfaced in her eyes.

Wei Jun was the same; he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes when he saw Xu Bo.

Sitting in the middle is Ma Yuanhang, the Minister of External Relations. He is now a junior and will either join the student council or leave the student union next year.

Including Xu Bo, there were three men and two women. The people in front of them quickly finished speaking, asked a few more questions, and then left.

Xu Bo was the last person left, and he stood on the podium and said a few polite words.

"My name is Xu Bo, and I'm here today hoping to improve my abilities."

After speaking, Xu Bo indicated that he was finished.

Gu Lin, sitting in the audience, shook her head and rubbed her forehead.

The entire student council combined is not as capable as Xu Bo, and couldn't you say a little more?

Just as he was about to speak, Wei Jun spoke first.

"Young man, our external relations department mainly seeks sponsorships when there are school events, are you aware of that?"

Xu Bo thought this person was really out of their mind and didn't know why he was here.

"Yes, Senior Wei."

Here, the only minister is Ma Yuanhang on the platform.

Normally, omitting the word "deputy" when greeting someone is no problem, but it's inconvenient to say it like that now that the person in question is above.

"Okay, then go back and wait for our notification."

After Wei Jun finished speaking briefly, he winked at Xu Bo.

Gu Lin was a little stunned; she rarely saw Wei Jun in such a good mood tonight.

"Okay, that's all for today. Go back and wait for our notification."

Gu Lin said the same thing and waved for Xu Bo to leave.

"Is there no one outside?" Ma Yuanhang asked.

"That's all." All the candidates for today's interviews have arrived.

Gu Lin responded, her phone vibrated, and when she looked down, it was about something at the store.

"How about we call it a day?" Gu Lin suggested.

Ma Yuanhang had the same idea and was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting when Wei Jun's voice rang out.

"Wait, Gu Lin, I have something to ask you." Gu Lin turned around and saw Wei Jun looking at her with a face full of anger.

"On the night your hot pot restaurant had its soft opening, did you say I could get a discount if I brought my stationery store receipt?"

Did you get my permission to do this?

"The minister is here today, so let the minister be the judge."

That day, Wei Jun went to eat and happened to see Gu Lin inside looking very proud. Thinking back to the small, run-down restaurant his father owned, Wei Jun felt extremely resentful.

"This is the boss's idea. If you have any questions, go talk to my boss."

Yulin curled his lip in disdain, then got up and turned to leave.

When Wei Jun saw Gu Lin about to leave, he immediately stood up and stopped her.

"Then give me your boss's contact information. I heard he's a freshman at our school. I'd like to see who he is!"

Gu Lin tossed her hair and said softly, "Then please talk to our boss and ask him to tell me his contact information so I can give it to you."

It was a bit convoluted, but Wei Jun only realized what was going on after Gu Lin's figure disappeared.

When he chased after her and went out the door, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Wei Jun, go back and organize the list properly. You'll get five spots from the new students this time. Choose whichever one you like."

"Also, remember to arrange the sponsored items for tomorrow's sports meet neatly."

After saying that, Ma Yuanhang also left the teaching building.

Walking back to her dorm, Gu Lin sniffed and spoke.

"Junior, drink less alcohol in the future."

Xu Bo didn't continue the conversation and spoke up.

"We found two shops today and have confirmed our intentions. Tomorrow I will meet with Attorney Ma to go to Zhong Weiyong's place to sign the contract."

"So fast!" Gu Lin was surprised that Xu Bo had already found a spot in just one day.

Lighting a cigarette, Xu Bo said, "We're lucky, mainly because Song Leisong is lucky."

"Have the locations for the remaining shops been finalized?"

"Not yet, but I think three Hailaola restaurants in Hangzhou are enough. The remaining stores should be expanded to Nanjing and Shanghai."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Xu Bo made up his mind.

"Let's go to Nanjing!"

"Let's go to Shanghai!"

"Conquer the Yangtze River Delta!"

"To secure the leading position in the national catering industry!"
