In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 69 Lin Yifeng, You're a Bad Scoundrel

"I've become public enemy number one!"

Downstairs in the boys' dormitory.

Lin Yifeng, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding an enamel teacup, smiled as he spoke to Bai Yejin.

Bai Yejin, who was usually outgoing, blushed for the first time and did not reply.

Have you eaten breakfast yet?

Lin Yifeng raised the enamel mug in his hand, and Bai Yejin shook her head to indicate that she hadn't eaten.

"Let's go, treat me to dinner."

Lin Yifeng ignored the boys watching and walked towards the cafeteria first. Bai Yejin, who was behind him, paused slightly before quickly following, looking a little hesitant.

"Lin Yifeng, today is April 23rd."

Lin Yifeng turned around, slightly puzzled: "Yes, today is April 23rd, Thursday."

After saying that, Lin Yifeng looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "If we were to write it in the style of a diary, we should add, 'Sunny.'"

"As for the content..."

"Lin Yifeng, Lin Yifeng, how could you be so degenerate! Have you forgotten the study plan you made before?"

Confucius said, “I examine myself three times a day… This cannot continue!”

Bai Yejin rolled her eyes at Lin Yifeng.

Even though Macburg has opened for business today, Lam Yat-fung still has the mood to joke about Hu Shih's diary.

"I don't want to eat steamed buns this morning."

Lin Yifeng stopped and looked at Bai Yejin, asking, "Mantou Yuhuan, let's go eat on the street. Do you know a shop that serves wontons in the morning?"

In Central Plains Province, most families eat porridge for breakfast, followed by steamed buns with pickled vegetables.

If you don't want to eat porridge at home, you can go out and eat spicy soup, eight-treasure porridge, soy milk hot pot, and mutton/beef soup.

But in the 1990s, it was generally not possible to eat wontons in the morning.

In Central China, wontons are considered a main meal and can only be eaten at noon or in the evening.

Lin Yifeng wasn't sure if there were any wonton vendors near Hebei Vocational University, but he was certain that the school cafeteria didn't sell them.

"Don't call me Steamed Bun Jade Ring, it sounds awful."

Bai Yejin did not answer Lin Yifeng's question, but asked with a worried expression, "Lin Yifeng, stop joking, let's get down to business."

"It's the opening of Macburg today, how come you're not nervous at all?"

“Even someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about business knows that once Macburg opens, Wallace will earn less.”

Lin Yifeng handed the enamel mug to Bai Yejin, and amidst the envious and resentful gazes of a group of boys, Bai Yejin naturally accepted the enamel mug.

"After you finish eating your wontons, just wait and see what happens."

...

Bai Yejin didn't know which shop around Hebei Vocational University sold wontons in the morning.

But this didn't stump Bai Yejin.

She has been working in the school cafeteria and has a good relationship with the cafeteria staff.

So Lin Yifeng enjoyed a privilege and, led by Bai Yejin, entered the school cafeteria through a side door.

"Xiao Jin, you look so beautiful today."

"Hey, why did you bring someone with you today?"

Sister Wang, who was getting food at the cafeteria window, teased Bai Yejin.

Sister Wang's eye contact was too obvious. Even though Bai Yejin was an outgoing person, she still blushed under such a strong gaze.

"Sister Wang..."

Bai Yejin opened her mouth, wanting to explain.

But in this kind of situation, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth.

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yejin changed her mind and asked, "Did Uncle Liu in the kitchen turn off the stove?"

"The fire should still be burning. Old Liu usually puts it out around 8:30."

"Oh, thank you, Sister Wang."

Bai Yejin beckoned to Lin Yifeng: "Lin Yifeng, come with me."

After saying that, Bai Yejin hurriedly fled into the cafeteria's kitchen.

"Thank you for your help, Sister Wang."

Lin Yifeng greeted Sister Wang with a smile. After passing by her, he casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to her when no one was looking.

"Sister Wang, this is for your old man to smoke."

A pack of Zhonghua cigarettes was shoved into Sister Wang's hand. She glanced at it, then quickly hid it in her pocket. She hurriedly looked around, and only after confirming no one was watching her did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, what's the trouble?"

“Hey kid, next time you come to my place for food, I’ll give you extra food.”

"Haha, thank you, Sister Wang."

Lin Yifeng entered the kitchen with a smile, and Sister Wang nodded repeatedly as she watched his retreating figure.

Bai Yejin, that girl, really found a good man.

...

There was only one cook in the canteen kitchen, an elderly man with a round belly, Old Liu.

Bai Yejin went up to Old Liu and said something to him. Although Old Liu agreed to Bai Yejin's request, he didn't look too good.

So Lin Yifeng did the same thing to Old Liu, handing him a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Old Liu immediately changed his expression, his smile becoming incredibly bright.

Bai Yejin, who was busy with her work, didn't see any of this. When she saw Lin Yifeng walking over, she quickly whispered:

"Lin Yifeng, you can sit on that stool over there and rest. Don't touch anything. Uncle Liu doesn't like people touching his kitchen utensils."

Does he not like others touching his kitchen utensils?

Believe it or not, if I use his kitchen utensils, he'll still praise me for using them well.

Lin Yifeng felt that it wouldn't be a problem for Old Liu, who could change his expression after just one pack of cigarettes, to praise him.

However, Lin Yifeng obediently sat down on the stool.

Bai Yejin got busy.

The clothes she's wearing today aren't really suitable for cooking.

But Bai Yejin didn't seem to think that much about it. She took off her beige suit jacket and carefully placed it aside, then started kneading the dough and preparing the filling.
