Looking at these messages in the group, Teng Manni felt a little uncomfortable. Many people in Group 5 didn't get to eat the braised food this week.

At that moment, she overheard the boys in front of her talking.

"How many portions are you planning to buy? I saw online that this braised food is delicious, how about we buy a few more?"

"No one's in the dorm, can you finish eating it all?"

Compared to the excitement of the person in front, this person seemed much calmer.

"That seems to be true. It's a pity they've all gone out to play. It looks like they won't be able to eat this braised food. The two of us who are preparing for graduate school are in luck."

In the dormitory, only the two of them were left preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, so they didn't go out.

"Excuse me, senior brothers," Teng Manni couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.

"If you're not buying that many portions, could you buy a few for me?"

Both of them were taken aback.

How many portions do you want to buy?

The boy at the front asked her.

"Any number is fine." Of course, the more the better.

"He and I bought four portions in total, and we can still buy four more. Do you want them? If so, I can buy them for you in a bit."

"That's great, thank you, senior brother. I'll take four servings. You can choose any flavor you like later."

The senior student nodded.

Teng Manni immediately felt much more relaxed.

These four copies will be given to the few people in the group who can come later. It's one of the good things she, as the group admin, can do.

Although it's not much, this is all we can do.

The people in the group are all very nice; they don't have any complaints about her not being able to help, which is why she tries to help in any way she can.

Meanwhile, Zhang Haoze, who was in group 5, saw the message. Coincidentally, he was out strolling around at that moment.

I originally planned to go to Zhigu Plaza to take a look, but as soon as I opened my phone, I saw the latest news.

Thinking that it wasn't far from the teachers' college, he decided to go and take a look.

I also told my younger sister, Zhang Qiqi.

[Boss Shi is currently at the Teachers' College. Are you nearby? If so, you could go visit him. I'm on my way now, but I don't know if I'll make it in time.]

Zhang Qiqi replied quickly.

Ah, I'm not over there, I'm way too far away.

[Brother, keep going! It's up to you.]

Zhang Haoze: ......

So we still have to rely on him, but he's not confident either.

He even made the stupid mistake of taking a taxi there, which almost caused him to get stuck in traffic during rush hour.

I got off the bus halfway through the journey and scanned a QR code to use the shared bus.

I finally arrived at the back street of the Normal University, but seeing this long queue in front of me, I instantly lost my spirit.

With such a long queue, even if you get to the front of the line, he'll have sold out.

There were at least a hundred people.

Boss Shi only has so much braised food, how could that be enough?

Sure enough, you can't compete with students, especially these college students.

They came straight out of the school and lined up, but he still had to rush over, which took up a lot of his time.

It seems there's little hope for today's braised food.

He tried to buy one or two portions from people who had already bought the braised food, but no one was willing.

That's normal. If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to sell it either.

It's such a rare treat to be able to eat this once in a while.

Helpless, he could only drag his heavy heart back home.

The moment I opened the door after returning home, my sense of loss intensified.

A feeling of shame welled up inside me.

He even posted in the family group chat today that he would definitely be able to eat braised food today.

But what about now?

Empty-handed.

"Brother, you're back?"

Zhang Qiqi looked at Zhang Haoze, who was standing at the door with his head down.
