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

Seeing Xu Bo making a phone call with a sweet expression, Attorney Ma assumed it was his girlfriend and didn't bother him too much.

After Xu Bo hung up the phone, he wanted to go up and talk about some business matters, but unexpectedly Xu Bo dialed another number.

"Hey, Yimei, did you miss me while I was away these past few days?"

"wrong!"

A thought suddenly popped into Attorney Ma's mind: how come the tone and sweetness of this conversation were exactly the same as the phone call she had just made?

Could it be?

Although he was very reluctant to be an annoying eavesdropper, the burning desire for gossip in his heart still made him take a few steps closer and prick up his ears to listen.

"I'm getting ready to head to Shanghai now. I just finished up in Nanjing today." Xu Bo lit another cigarette.

"I've already bought the duck for you. I'm wondering whether to have it shipped to you or bring it back to you myself."

"I feel like the taste won't be good by the time I get back."

Xu Bo exhaled a puff of smoke and started talking nonsense.

Attorney Ma, standing nearby, was completely bewildered. Duck? Xu Bo hadn't bought any ducks. Nanjing's salted duck was indeed delicious, but it usually had an expiration date. After the expiration date, not only would the taste change, but it could also easily cause stomach upset.

"What on earth is this kid talking about?"

"I don't want the delivery, I want you to come to me and eat with me," He Yimei said haughtily on the other end of the phone. She had just finished playing badminton and was walking back to the dormitory with Zheng Wan'er.

Du Qinglong was also there. Hearing Xu Bo's voice, he quickly said, "Xu Bo, remember to bring me some! We're out of snacks to go with our drinks in the dorm!"

Hearing Du Qinglong's voice, Xu Bo smiled slightly. His roommate and Zheng Wan'er were getting along very well, and it seemed like it was almost time for him to confess his feelings.

"Alright, the train is about to leave. I'll carry the salted duck back for you. Remember to go to bed early when you get back."

He Yimei's voice came from the other end: "You too, remember to eat well, don't let your stomach go hungry, or no one will want you if you ruin your health."

Hearing this, Xu Bo said in a cheeky tone, "You don't want me? If nobody else wants me, I'll stick to you."

Attorney Ma, standing nearby, was too embarrassed to listen any longer. He could never have imagined saying such things, and he would never have uttered them.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Xu Bo ended their conversation with a soft "Goodnight".

After hanging up the phone, Xu Bo lit a cigarette for Attorney Ma, then grinned and said...

"Attorney Ma, we'll inevitably be dealing with each other a lot in the future. You'll need to help me handle some things properly. Legally, you're my sharpest blade."

As he spoke, Xu Bo walked over to Attorney Ma, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "In the future, Hai Lao Lao will become the most famous catering brand in the country, and you will also become a leader in the domestic legal profession."

Attorney Ma looked at the young man in front of him with a sense of melancholy.

He still remembered the first time Xu Bo came to the law firm to find him, it was to draft a house rental contract. Even then, he already seemed very experienced. He never expected that Xu Bo would become such a capable company boss.

"Okay." After lighting a cigarette, Attorney Ma finally spoke.

Song Leisong, who was not far away, saw Xu Bo hang up the phone and came over as well.

"Let's go, it's almost time."

After glancing at the time, they realized there were less than twenty minutes left before departure, so the three of them immediately grabbed their purchases and headed into the station.

......

Hot pot restaurants in Hangzhou are still as busy as usual.

Gu Lin tidied up the account book and handed it to Bai Feifei.

"Take a look, the income these past few days looks pretty good."

During the school sports meet, Gu Lin contributed 1,000 yuan as sponsorship, further solidifying Hai Lao Lao's reputation within Hangzhou Dianzi University.

The store is now able to handle the customers. Du Qinglong said a few words and then left, saying he had something to do.

But looking at the expression on his face, Gu Lin could tell with her toes that he had gone to be with his girlfriend.

Bai Feifei jokingly added, "I'll bring my girlfriend over sometime so we can all get to know each other."

Du Qinglong's expression changed, and even Gu Lin next to him seemed a little off.

If he brings them along, the relationship between those two girls and Xu Bo will probably be exposed as soon as they meet.

Du Qinglong chuckled and then quickly ran out.

At this moment, Yu Haoqi came out of the kitchen, having just finished cleaning the goods, and handed the order to Gu Lin.

"This is the purchase order. There will be another batch tomorrow morning. Xu Bo just called me and told me to go to Shanghai to find a shop now. I have to leave now."

As an employee benefit, Xu Bo provided each of his roommates with a mobile phone so they could easily stay in touch.

"I need to go back to my dorm to get my charger and ID card."

Yu Haoqi arrived carrying a bag, and at that moment he opened the freezer and put in a few bottles of drinks and some snacks.

"Then be careful, and send me a message when you get to Shanghai."

Bai Feifei quickly spoke up, while simultaneously noting down what Yu Haoqi had taken in her notebook.

"Senior, you don't need to keep track of this. Consider this an official business."

Seeing Gu Lin take out her notebook, Yu Haoqi said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, I remember it's Xu Bo's name, so it'll all be on his tab."

Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters; Gu Lin keeps these distinctions very clear.

"Take a little more. When you get to Shanghai, tell Xu Bo to eat well and not to overwork himself," Bai Feifei said softly to Yu Haoqi as they walked to the door.

She was worried that Xu Bo had overworked himself these past few days.

Blinking her beautiful, inspiring eyes, Bai Feifei continued, "Tell Xu Bo not to rush things. Focus on finding a shop. My senior and I can help you here."

Xu Bo took away several of Bai Feifei's right-hand men, and Bai Feifei was afraid that Xu Bo would worry.

"Okay, I got it. When you see Xu Bo, be sure to tell him how much you miss him." After saying that, Yu Haoqi walked towards the school.

Watching Yu Haoqi's departing figure, Bai Feifei sighed silently and returned to the shop.

The boys queuing at the door watched as the rumored good-looking employee walked out and quickly went back in, and they all became a little anxious.

"This girl is really pretty, especially her figure," someone in the crowd whispered.

"Of course! I told you, coming all the way from Nanjing to visit me was the right choice," my friend boasted in a low voice.

Back in the store, Bai Feifei absentmindedly looked at the ledger, recording the day's losses.

Gu Lin had already returned to her office on the second floor and started doing the homework assigned by her teacher.

This period of leisure did not last long, as a customer walked up to the cashier.

"Hello, how would you like to pay? Cash or credit card?" the teller, Xiaoling, asked softly.

Hailaolao has kept up with the times and has also installed a POS machine.

"Cash is fine. If possible, I'd like to get this lady's contact information."

Bai Feifei frowned, raised her head, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Bai Feifei suppressed her disgust and was about to refuse when a loud voice rang out from behind the man.

"Hurry up and pay the bill, don't cause any trouble here. Let me tell you, ask around, my reputation as Wei Jun is no joke in this area!"

Behind him, Wei Jun's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction. Although he also enjoyed looking at pretty girls, he never bothered them, but simply appreciated them quietly.

But this fat guy looks to be over forty years old and is covered in grease; how dare he dream of a toad eating swan meat?

"Who are you? Mind your own business."

The man, seeing that his good time had been interrupted, turned around and said to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun ignored him. He clapped his hands, and his two roommates and three student council members stepped forward, rubbing their hands together behind Wei Jun, eager to test him.
