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

"Forget about this dish, just pay the bill and go." The chef also dropped his bluster, his tone no longer as arrogant as before.

The main reason is that Xu Bo's outfit is really too intimidating. Although he is wearing ordinary military training uniform, his temperament is completely different from the others around him.

His gaze was calm and composed, his pupils as still as a calm lake. His phone was a trendy Nokia model, and this one phone alone cost the chef a month's salary.

For a freshman to put on such a show, not to mention the chef, even Gu Lin standing next to him felt that Xu Bo was a bit intimidating.

"You guys can go now, this meal is on me," Gu Lin said from the side.

Before the chef could react, she pulled Xu Bo to his feet and pushed him outside.

She was aware of the problems at the store, but since it was her friend's store, she could only point them out and had no authority to make a decision.

But she still has the right to treat someone to a meal; if necessary, she can just pay for it herself.

Although she came out to work part-time to earn some living expenses, she still had this much money.

"No, no, senior, I'd be too embarrassed to let you treat me." Xu Bo waved his hand, feeling really bad about letting the senior in front of him treat him.

I estimated the price of the meal in my mind, and it should be around thirty yuan.

Xu Bo took out two twenty-yuan bills from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"You should thank Senior Gu more, otherwise this matter won't be over yet."

Before being pushed out the door, Xu Bo said to Senior Sister Gu.

"See you tonight, Senior Gu."

Yu Haoqi and his two companions stood at the door, looking at the shop with expressions of dissatisfaction.

"This store really doesn't seem to care if students don't come."

The businesses on this street are basically supported by the students at the school.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone so arrogant and make such terrible food.

Du Qinglong rubbed his hands together, his face full of indignation, and said, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have already struck with all my might."

The meal was barely enough to fill their stomachs, and the four of them cursed the chef at the restaurant as they walked back to their dormitories.

Why does Senior Sister Gu work for this store?

The topic circled back to Gu Lin, and Wang Yan blinked as he asked.

"Go out and do part-time jobs to earn your living expenses. Even sophomores can support themselves now. Look at you guys, still using your family's money."

Downstairs in the dormitory, Xu Bo clutched his chest and said with great distress.

Back in his dorm room, Xu Bo took out his phone and sent a message to He Yimei.

"How was military training today?"

The other end replied quickly, clearly someone was fiddling with their phone.

"It's alright, I just finished eating and got back to my dorm."

"Are you free tonight? I'd like to talk to Zheng Wan'er and ask if her factory has any other hot pot base ingredients."

There was a pause in replies over there, and no message came in for quite a while. It's likely that He Yimei went to ask Zheng Wan'er for her opinion.

After waiting for a long time, they finally replied.

"Come find us downstairs at our dorm at 8:30 tonight, Wan'er is just letting you know."

Xu Bo calculated the time and realized he had plenty of time, so he replied that he had received the message. He originally wanted to chat with her for a few more minutes, but the morning's military training had left him quite tired. Xu Bo held his phone and unknowingly fell asleep.

I woke up again to Wang Yan patting my chest and shouting, "Hurry up! We're going to be late!"

I turned on my phone, and it was a little past 1:10 PM. There were still more than ten minutes left before the scheduled training time for military training.

Xu Bo quickly got out of bed, grabbed his phone and wallet, stuffed them into his pocket, hurriedly put his hat on his head, and rushed out.

The three roommates were also ready and followed Xu Bo's lead as they rushed out.

They finally made it into the ranks just minutes before the playground gates closed. The instructor in charge didn't say much when he saw this, but just told them to hurry up and fix their uniforms.

Sweat beaded on Xu Bo's forehead. He hadn't seen Bai Feifei anywhere, only Liu Xiaojuan clenching her fists and staring at Xu Bo as if she had a blood feud with him.

The first day of military training began and ended with two speeches from the leaders.

This time, the roommates followed Xu Bo's advice and instead of eating out, they ran quickly to the cafeteria stalls and secured good spots.

Two people are queuing, and two are standing in their positions – a classic combination.

After eating, the three returned to their dormitory to rest, while Xu Bo, still in his military training uniform, went to the "Gongzi Building" that Xu Yuanping had mentioned for a meeting.

Gu Lin was the only one in classroom 107. She was overjoyed to see Xu Bo arrive, and at the same time, she apologized for the unpleasant thing that happened at noon.

Xu Bo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you. You're just an employee, senior."

The two chatted for a long time, including about the startup team.

The topic of this startup group is "Campus Life Platform".

This is a platform similar to Baidu Tieba, where every college student can share their life and post their thoughts on a particular topic.

The idea seemed pretty good to the students in the same year, but it didn't seem quite right to Xu Bo.

The functionality is too limited and too rudimentary. Moreover, most schools now use local area networks, which students are already used to.

It's already great to have people interacting with each other within a university; it's enough to resolve your everyday questions.

Connecting to the network with other schools is a very troublesome thing.

Xu Bo frowned slightly, not revealing his true thoughts, but quietly listening to Gu Lin describe their blueprint.

Several people gradually entered the classroom.

Gu Lin introduced their identities to Xu Bo.

A boy named Deng Qiao and a girl named Lin Jiachen are both sophomores.

The only one who was somewhat different was a third-year student named Qu Xuanru.

He walked in carrying a notebook, accompanied by a woman who looked like a professor. He was carrying a briefcase and his own laptop, making him stand out in the group.

"That's our advisor, Associate Professor Wen Chao from the School of Computing, Professor Wen."

Xu Bo squinted and began to scrutinize Wen Chao. His hair was somewhat gray, and he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. His every move exuded elegance and intellect.

"You're the student Teacher Xu introduced, right?" Wen Chao suddenly said to Xu Bo.

"Yes, Professor, it was Professor Xu who introduced me here."

Nodding, Wen Chao didn't reply. Instead, he had his student, Qu Xuanru, stand up, take out her laptop, and open the PowerPoint presentation, asking her to speak on his behalf.

"Junior students, this is the content I compiled based on the feedback from the previous group, and I have made further revisions."

"Take a look first. If there are no problems, I will start building the model step by step and begin website production."

At this moment, Xu Bo finally saw what the senior student looked like. Her whole demeanor was almost identical to Wen Chao's on the podium, except for her face.

Professor Wen Chao looked like someone you didn't want to mess with; his eyes seemed to hold a knife, as if he was ready to stab someone at any moment.

But Qu Xuanru had a gentle and kind gaze, and with her round cheeks, she didn't seem aggressive at all, just like a friendly older sister next door.
