Chapter 659 You are holding a formula worth hundreds of millions
『Lu Yuanqiu』: Are you done packing?
『Bai Qingxia』: It’s packed.
『Lu Yuanqiu』: See you by the lake.
Lu Yuanqiu stood up in the dormitory and put his cell phone in his pocket.
He and Finkel were the only ones who arrived at dormitory 401. The Taoist priest would arrive tomorrow. The uncle's bedside table was empty, without even a piece of paper.
The aunt had come last semester to take away all of the uncle's things, and also helped clean the entire dormitory. Lu Yuanqiu was deeply impressed because he saw that his "Xia Yiwan Noodle Bowl No. 001" was also wiped clean by the aunt, without a trace of dust in the bowl.
"Senior, haven't you played enough games yet?" Lu Yuanqiu asked with a smile.
Finkel didn't look back: "Don't worry, uncle also told me to play less games. I may not listen to others, but I will definitely listen to him. Games used to be the focus, but now they are a pastime."
When Finkel said this, he turned around and smiled and blinked.
Lu Yuanqiu: "I'm going out first. Can I bring you some food when I come back?"
Finkel raised his hand: "Xia Yiwan Noodles!"
After coming out of the boys' dormitory, Lu Yuanqiu headed straight for the lake. The lake in Wanfeng Campus is not located in the center of the campus, but it is extremely fair to both boys and girls because it is the same distance from the boys' and girls' dormitories.
But what puzzled Lu Yuanqiu was that such a large lake had never been given a name, which was definitely a very special case on a university campus.
I don’t know what the principal is thinking.
When passing by the maple forest, Lu Yuanqiu took a few more glances. The maple trees were bare and had no leaves on them.
He was just about to stop and look when he suddenly saw a familiar figure through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Bai Qingxia was standing opposite.
"What a coincidence? We came at the same speed." Lu Yuanqiu shouted.
Bai Qingxia smiled. She held down her scarf that was blown up by the wind and trotted towards Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu liked to watch her twisting her body left and right while running. It was not pretentious, he just thought it was beautiful.
Because it was still cold, the two did not hold hands, but just linked their arms with their hands in their pockets.
The shimmering lake was right in front of them. Just as Bai Qingxia was about to walk towards the empty seat next to a couple, Lu Yuanqiu pulled her body with his arm and moved her away, to a seat with no one around.
After sitting down, Lu Yuanqiu put his arm around Bai Qingxia, put his hand into the other pocket of her clothes, and held her warm little hand in his pocket.
Bai Qingxia also naturally put her head on Lu Yuanqiu's shoulder.
Lu Yuanqiu liked this state of mind between the two of them very much. If there was nothing else, he would rather sit with Bai Qingxia until sunset, watching the golden reflection of the setting sun on the lake, and daydreaming comfortably together.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"Tell me something you haven't heard before."
"Then go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at the rippling lake, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you still remember when your father saw White Rhino instant noodles in the supermarket, he was very excited and even cried."
Bai Qingxia's eyes moved and she nodded: "Remember."
Sure enough, what Lu Yuanqiu wanted to say was either about himself or about his father.
Bai Qingxia added: "You said my father was the founder of the Baixi brand, but that brand no longer belonged to him for some reason. You also said that this brand was once my father's pride, but now I see that there is only anger and hatred in his heart."
"Since then, supermarkets have not stocked White Rhino instant noodles, and I have deliberately not let these two words appear in front of my father."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Yes, the White Rhino instant noodles used to taste really good. Your father had the secret recipe and production process, which made the sales of White Rhino instant noodles the leading level in the industry."
Bai Qingxia was stunned when she heard this, and said, "But you never told me why the brand no longer belongs to him."
"Why don't you ask?" Lu Yuanqiu asked back.
Bai Qingxia replied: "Because you didn't say it, either you don't know, or there must be a reason why you didn't say it. You are not omniscient, but you must be doing it for my good, right?"
Lu Yuanqiu pursed his lips and explained, "Because your father had more than ten years to tell you about this, but he didn't say it. I think he must have his reasons for not saying it, and I can guess the reason."
"But now, Xia Xia, I have to tell you."
Bai Qingxia raised her head and looked at Lu Yuanqiu: "You say."
Lu Yuanqiu: "It was because a man named Zhang Zhisheng stole the brand from your father. I don't know what he did exactly, but he made your father bankrupt overnight, infamous, blacklisted in the industry, and even nearly faced jail time."
"Back then, your father could only live in a small rented house with your mother, brother, and you, who were only three years old. He had to do odd jobs on construction sites to make ends meet. He probably also faced threats from his enemies, so your father didn't even have friends."
Bai Qingxia stared at Lu Yuanqiu for a long time, and many things came to her mind at once.
Lu Yuanqiu held her hand tightly and watched Bai Qingxia's eyes turn redder. He opened his arms and hugged the girl, gently stroking her back with his hands.
"I keep this kind of thing in my heart, and only I know it. Sometimes it's a torment, but I used to think that if you never knew about it and just lived happily forever, wouldn't that be a good choice? Maybe your father thought the same way back then."
"But Bai Qingxia, I'm sorry that you can't live the peaceful life you used to have."
Bai Qingxia rested her chin on his shoulder, her eyes were red, but no tears fell. She struggled slightly, looked at Lu Yuanqiu, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to ask.
Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head slightly and continued, "You may not have met Zhang Zhisheng, but you know his sons, Zhang Yibin and Zhang Yifei."
Bai Qingxia frowned and looked away, instantly understanding where Lu Yuanqiu's hostility towards these two people came from when they first met.
"But why are you telling me this now?" she asked.
Lu Yuanqiu grabbed her hands and said, "Because the formula, your father's secret formula, is in your hands."
Bai Qingxia shook her head: "But my father never told me about this."
Lu Yuanqiu: "I told you, you know."
Bai Qingxia was frowning, but suddenly her brows relaxed, her eyes widened, and she looked surprised: "Xia Yiwanmian?"
Lu Yuanqiu nodded.
"Zhang Zhisheng has recently been trying to steal the real formula and production process from you, but my uncles and I discovered it. So, you have to know the truth first. You are holding a formula worth hundreds of millions."
