Chapter 72: Postgraduate Study Ruined (5)

As soon as the message was sent, the students responded quickly.
[Received received]
【Thank you, teacher! 】
Not long after, Xia Shu also replied: [Received, thank you teacher]
Zhu Qingchen turned his head and glanced at the counter. Xia Shu was holding a cell phone and smiling at him.
The students had another small group, but Zhu Qingchen was not included.
They discussed it in the group.
[I have never been to such a high-end restaurant. Thank you, Mr. Zhu (put your hands together)]
[Have you studied recently? I’m afraid that if Teacher Zhu asks me questions, I won’t be able to answer any of them.]
[It’s the same for everyone. It’s okay. I’ll just eat eat eat eat eat eat when the time comes.]
[Would you like to go together tomorrow? Zhongming Restaurant seems a bit far]
Xia Shu hesitated for a moment, clicked on the dialog box, and joined their discussion: [My father is a taxi driver, he can come to pick us up, do you want to come with us? ]
[Okay, okay, add me]
【Thank you Xia Shu】
Except for one classmate who lived locally and was a former classmate, all other classmates carpooled with him.
After Xia Shu told her father that she had cleared her time for tomorrow evening, she put down her phone, continued to work, and walked around the coffee shop.
Zhu Qingchen stayed for a while, submitted the "Project Change Application", and confirmed that Zhou Ziqian would not come again before packing up and preparing to leave.
Xia Shu still has to work here until evening.
Zhu Qingchen waved at him and said, "Let's go. Bye."
Xia Shu bowed slightly to him: "Goodbye, teacher."
Zhu Qingchen took the system to the school supermarket.
He pushed the shopping cart, and the system followed him: "Do you want snacks again?"
"No." Zhu Qingchen said righteously, "There will be a tough battle tomorrow. I am afraid that Xia Shu will suffer, so I came here to buy him some self-defense items."
He was afraid that Zhou Ziqian would get angry and, like he did today, turn the tables on Xia Shu or even hit him.
Still need to be prepared.
Zhu Qingchen put the floral water into the shopping cart and found a small spray bottle. He sprayed it on his eyes, which was very useful.
Zhu Qingchen picked up a small fork as the tableware for eating Western food, and would not use it unless necessary.
besides……
"Lime-flavored potato chips, seaweed-flavored fish, crispy shark
..." Zhu Qingchen pushed the cart, strode past the shelves, and skillfully put the necessary items into the cart.
The system remained skeptical: "How did you use these? Did you crush the potato chips and sprinkle them on Zhou Ziqian's face to blind him?"
"No." Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips, "These are for me to replenish my energy."
"..." The system's face fell, and when Zhu Qingchen looked at it aggrievedly, it gave in, "Okay, okay, buy some, buy some."
After completing the shopping, Zhu Qingchen returned home, collapsed on the sofa, and opened a bag of potato chips.
He finally set up his phone to ensure that he could call the police directly with just two clicks.
Everything is ready.
Zhu Qingchen hesitated for a moment, but finally sent a message to Huo Jun.
[I will take my students to Zhongming Restaurant for dinner tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. Huo]
After all, it was Huo Jun who gave him this news, and Huo Jun also helped him a lot, so it would be inappropriate for him to be on guard against him like this.
Huo Jun replied with a "OK" and said nothing more.

The next day was Saturday.
Xia Shu didn't have to go to class, so she was busy in the cafe all day.
In the evening, Xia's father drove over to pick him up.
Several classmates got on the car with him: "Thank you, Uncle Xia."
"You are welcome."
Father Xia, like Xia Shu, is a little taciturn. He just pressed the position and drove quietly.
There was no conversation along the way, and the taxi stopped in front of Zhongming Restaurant.
Just at this time, Zhu Qingchen also arrived riding a shared electric scooter.
Zhu Qingchen parked the car, straightened his clothes, and waved to them.
Several students immediately came forward and said, "Teacher Zhu."
"Yes." Zhu Qingchen said a few words to Father Xia, "Thank you for sending them here."
"You are welcome."
Zhu Qingchen walked into the building with a few students. The waiter came forward and said, "Good evening, everyone. What's your name?"
"Zhu Qingchen, I made a reservation last night."
"It's Mr. Zhu. Mr. Huo has also greeted you. Please come this way."
"Okay, thank you."
The restaurant is in neo-Chinese style, with corridors all around, a rockery and green bamboo in the middle, and gurgling water, which is quite elegant.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the group took the elevator to the VIP area on the fifth floor.
The students followed Zhu Qingchen, whispering to each other.
"Wow, Teacher Zhu is not a hidden rich second generation, right?"
"Thank you Teacher Zhu for showing me the world. I love Teacher Zhu."
"This is the first and last time I'll come here to eat in my life."
When they walked out of the elevator, Zhu Qingchen looked back at them and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When you become successful in the future, you will have plenty of opportunities to come here."
Several students exchanged glances and moved forward with silly smiles.
"That day will probably never come. Let's try to eat enough today to last us a lifetime!"
Zhu Qingchen couldn't help laughing out loud.
At this time, Zhu Qingchen suddenly discovered that Xia Shu seemed to be missing.
He turned around and saw Xia Shu two steps behind everyone else. His eyes passed through the rockery in the middle and fell on the door of the room opposite.
The next second, the students came up and pulled him away: "Xia Shu, what are you daydreaming about? Are you staring at the rockery?"
"Hmm...I just seemed to see..."
Xia Shu frowned, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.
How could Zhou Ziqian be here?
He thought about it and it seemed not impossible.
Isn't Zhou Ziqian working part-time everywhere? Maybe he is working here?
Xia Shu was just about to send him a message to ask, but then she thought of something and silently withdrew her hand.
Zhou Ziqian said that he was too clingy, meddling in everything, and had no business of his own to do.
I'd better not ask.
Xia Shu put away her phone and walked into the private room with the others.
Zhu Qingchen sat down in the main seat, and the other students sat down beside him.
The menus were all ordered last night, and the waiter also provided them with a menu book. If they needed to add dishes at the last minute, they could ring the bell to call him at any time.
After doing these things, the waiter left the private room.
While waiting, Zhu Qingchen turned and looked at the students.
The five students couldn't help but sit up straighter and accept Teacher Zhu's inspection.
Zhu Qingchen asked them one by one: "Liu Xu, how are your studies going recently? Have you read any books recently?"
"Hmm..." Liu Xu thought for a moment, "Teacher, I recently watched the original version of Peppa Pig to practice my English."
Zhu Qingchen:?
"What else?"
"Tom and Jerry, cultivate your musical and athletic abilities."
Zhu Qingchen:? ?
He frowned slightly: "What else?"
"No, I can only read two... two books at the same time. Any more would be an overload."
Zhu Qingchen: ???
The system burst out laughing: "As expected of your student, he is exactly like you."
Zhu Qingchen managed to calm down and said, "Are these two things you mentioned really books? I'll give you one last chance."
"Teacher, I was wrong." Liu Xu clasped his hands together, "I will go back and read the book right away."
Zhu Qingchen looked away and turned to the next student: "Chen Yu, what about you?"
"I read! Last night all night..."
Zhu Qingchen:?
"All night?"
These students were all lazy, and Zhu Qingchen was so angry that he was deformed, so he placed his last hope on Xia Shu.
"Xia Shu?"
Before Xia Shu could answer, there was a knock on the door.
The door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and four waiters came in pushing a food cart.
"Hello, your food is here."
"Thanks."
Zhu Qingchen looked at Xia Shu, and Xia Shu briefly reported on his recent studies: "I have read several books on modern and contemporary literature recently..."
Several students sat nearby with their faces in their hands, looking hopeless.
Everyone listens to the perfect answer from the top student in the department.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dishes were served. Several students rushed forward, pouring tea and serving dishes to Zhu Qingchen, and were very attentive and considerate.
"Teacher Zhu, when you eat food, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
“You can ask questions at any time when studying, but you can’t always eat.”
That makes sense.
Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and picked up the chopsticks: "Okay, let's eat first."
You cannot scold children at the dinner table, and you cannot ask them about their studies. This is a principle.
People at the table stopped talking about studying and started talking about their life in school.
For example, the price of the barbecued pork rice in the cafeteria has increased, and the club’s activities have been postponed.
Not long after the meal, the students suddenly remembered something and started mumbling among themselves, discussing whether they should stand up and toast. Then they all raised their glasses and stood up.
Zhu Qingchen held the chopsticks and looked at them with a puzzled look: "Why are you standing up?"
Several students dug their toes into the ground and whispered, "Let's drink a toast to the teacher. I wish the teacher good health..."
"No, why would a kid toast you with wine? Sit down and eat." Zhu Qingchen turned the dish in front of them, "Hurry up, each of you get one serving of foie gras.
Take it away, it won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
The students were relieved and sat back in their seats: "Thank you, teacher."
Zhu Qingchen stretched out his chopsticks: "I'm a teacher, I'll eat two pieces."
When Xia Shu saw the familiar dishes, she seemed to remember something.
Zhou Ziqian brought this dish to him.
It seems that Zhou Ziqian works here.
Xia Shu hesitated, not knowing whether to go over and talk to Zhou Ziqian.
He felt that he should go over and take a look, but he was worried that Zhou Ziqian would find him annoying.
Soon, Zhu Qingchen opened the menu and asked them, "What else do you want to eat? Order a few more dishes."
Of course, the students all said modestly that they were full, but Zhu Qingchen saw through them immediately and rang the bell to call the waiter.
The private room was well soundproofed. When the waiter opened the door, we suddenly heard a noise outside.
Zhu Qingchen asked casually: "What's going on outside?"
"It's okay. One of our waiters accidentally broke the plate. Don't worry. We will take care of it."
But the guest's angry voice could be heard from outside: "Don't you have eyes? Believe me or not..."
Xia Shu thought of Zhou Ziqian and stood up subconsciously.
He was worried that the one who would be troubled was Zhou Ziqian.
He had worked part-time in such places before and knew it wasn't easy.
He suddenly stood up and everyone looked at him in confusion.
Xia Shu said to Zhu Qingchen: "Teacher, I think..."
Zhu Qingchen didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Want to go to the bathroom? Go quickly."
"Yeah." Xia Shu didn't argue and got up and went out.
He pushed open the door of the private room and looked outside.
Across the corridor, several men were standing at the door of a private room. They seemed to be drunk. When they came out, they bumped into a waiter holding wine. The wine bottles were broken all over the floor and the waiter was cleaning up.
The waiter had his back to him, so Xia Shu couldn't see clearly.
But looking at his figure, he looks very much like Zhou Ziqian.
The waiter squatted on the ground to clean up, and the people in front of him were not giving in and were still cursing.
"You are walking without looking at the road. Call your supervisor over here. If you hit our Young Master Zhou's people, I'll see how much money you have to pay..."
Xia Shu was worried and trotted forward.
At this time, the waiter supervisor also came over.
"I am really sorry, gentlemen,
All evening consumption is free, I will serve you personally. "
The supervisor coaxed a few people back to the private room, and Xia Shu also came to the door of the room and passed by the waiter who was hit.
Xia Shu saw the waiter's face clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not Zhou Ziqian.
Very good.
The door of the private room was wide open, and suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside.
"I don't need the money for the free meal. If the waiter brings a bottle of the same wine and drinks it in one go, I won't complain to him."
It was Zhou Ziqian's voice.
Xia Shu stopped at the door of the private room and looked inside.
The private room is very large, with a sofa outside and a dining area inside.
A group of people surrounded Zhou Ziqian and sat on the sofa.
Zhou Ziqian sat in the middle, looking at his supervisor coldly. A well-behaved little boy sat next to him.
The little boy smiled and advised: "It's okay, I'm not hurt, don't be angry."
Zhou Ziqian glanced at him and said, "Okay, ask the kitchen to make two more dishes for you to take home as a midnight snack."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou."
The boy ordered a few dishes. Zhou Ziqian paused and added another dish: "Make another serving of foie gras."
Everyone started to make a noise: "Mr. Zhou, don't be too pampered. How can Xiao Xu eat so much?"
Zhou Ziqian said: "Make two and I'll take one away."
His friends exchanged glances and quickly responded: "For Xia Shu?"
Zhou Ziqian said calmly, "He insisted on making trouble with me yesterday. Today I brought him something, and he must have followed me like a pug."
"Mr. Zhou, awesome."
"Our Master Zhou is still the best. One in school and one here."
"I didn't spend a penny on the one from school, I got it right away!"
The supervisor wrote down all the dishes they ordered, turned around and walked out of the private room, and ran into Xia Shu standing at the door: "Sir, you..."
The people in the private room heard the noise and turned to look.
Xia Shu stood at the door, clenched his fists, and trembled all over. !
