Making money makes Chi Chan happy, but the honor and sense of accomplishment that come from studying hard are far more important than the happiness brought by the former.
With anticipation, Chi Chan composed herself and, in the calmest state, joined Ji Siyuan and the other two members of the class's Olympiad team, along with the No. 1 Middle School Biology Competition Team led by Teacher Wang, to enter the examination hall for the Provincial Biology Competition League.
That's right, the strength and foundation of No. 1 Middle School in the city are here, they don't even need to participate in the preliminary rounds.
The No. 1 Middle School of the city has a certain number of places each year that allow students to enter the provincial league directly without participating in the preliminary rounds.
At this moment, Chi Chan truly enjoyed the benefits brought by the school platform.
If Chi Chan had chosen the county's No. 1 Middle School, she would have had to follow the normal procedure, participate in the preliminary rounds organized by each region, and only after passing the preliminary rounds would she be eligible to participate in the current league.
The league only has a theoretical exam, which covers topics such as cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics. The percentage of questions and marks varies depending on the specific subject.
The content of biochemistry, microbiology, and other subjects actually goes beyond the compulsory part of high school biology.
Therefore, Chi Chan's learning process in the biology competition has been so difficult since the start of the school year.
After all, in the class biology Olympiad group, whether it was Ji Siyuan or the other two classmates, they had been participating in biology Olympiads since elementary school.
Only Chi Chan, after entering Class 7, was discovered by Teacher Qiu and Teacher Wang to have a talent for biology, which is why Teacher Qiu packaged Chi Chan into the Olympiad group.
It can be said that before entering the Olympiad group, Chi Chan was unaware of the Olympiad competition rules, examination procedures and systems, examination content, etc.
She knew absolutely nothing about anything related to the competition.
She only learned all this after she became Ji Siyuan's deskmate. After they became deskmates, Ji Siyuan gradually introduced it to her.
The content of the biology competition exam has only gradually caught up with everyone's learning progress since the beginning of this semester.
In the biology competition group of Class 7, Chi Chan performed quite well. She improved rapidly from being at the bottom of the class to becoming one of the better ones, and her level was almost the same as Ji Siyuan's.
The high school math Olympiad exams are destined to be a celebration for a group of talented students.
Ordinary people don't even have the right to participate in the carnival.
He was eliminated from the stage early in the preliminary rounds.
After the league ended, Chi Chan's life returned to its usual routine of going to work, home, and back.
School, clever mom, home.
Every day still revolves around the three most important things: studying, recording lessons, and editing videos.
If Chi Chan hadn't overheard Zhang Qiaoyue's casual complaint when she returned to the shop after class that evening, she wouldn't have known that Zhang Cui's restaurant had opened.
"That Zhang Cui is such a bastard, she's so disgusting, even when it comes to choosing a name she can't help us!"
This morning, Zhang Cui's restaurant was unveiled and opened for business. As soon as Zhang Qiaoyue saw the restaurant's name, she was furious.
If it weren't for the surrounding merchants craning their necks to watch the showdown between the two families...
Zhang Qiaoyue was determined to roll up her sleeves and smash their signboard.
"So what's the name of their restaurant?" Chi Chan asked curiously.
What name could have angered Zhang Qiaoyue and Chi Minghe to this extent?
"Go see for yourself!"
Zhang Qiaoyue said indignantly.
The couple's reluctance to even mention it completely piqued Chi Chan's curiosity.
Chi Chan put down her chopsticks, which were filled with dry midnight snacks, and got up to go outside.
"Grandma's Restaurant! Pfft!"
Chi Chan finished reading and laughed.
Could they be any more ingenious? They're practically trying to make sure everyone knows they're competing with 'Clever Mom' restaurant!
Who came up with the idea of searching like this?
"Mom—I asked you to think of a name for the restaurant, but you were so secretive and wouldn't tell me. And this is the name you came up with?"
Lin Chunni rubbed her forehead; she was about to be driven mad by Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui muttered softly, "When I picked out a name before, you either thought it was low-class or didn't sound good."
When I asked you to name a child, you said you didn't have time.
The only one I can think of that, in terms of sheer presence, could be more memorable than 'Clever Mom,' is 'Clever Grandma'!
"Listen to this name, it's catchy and pleasant to pronounce, you'll remember it after just one listen!"
She's the mother, and in our family, she's the grandmother—wow, that's quite a commanding presence!
Zhang Cui thought the name was great; she had thought about it for three whole days before coming up with such a catchy name!
Lin Chunni had no way to deal with her mother.
The signboard is already up, everyone knows that. If they were to change the name now, people would think they were afraid of 'Qiao Mama'!
Therefore, the signboard cannot be changed.
Lin Chunni changed the subject: "How's business today?"
Speaking of today's business, Zhang Cui's face was beaming with joy.
"As expected of a chef from a five-star hotel, his skills are beyond question!"
I tried every dish today, and they were all absolutely delicious!
Lin Chunni looked bewildered.
"They were hired by Ye Zijin to compete against Zhang Qiaoyue! You have to let the customers eat and give their opinions, right?"
Why did you try all the dishes first?
If Ye Zijing finds out, we'll be in big trouble!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cui objected: "What's wrong with me trying some? If I just take a bite of each dish, how are the guests going to notice?"
Lin Chunni was absolutely furious with Zhang Cui's reckless and audacious personality.
Lin Chunni learned a lot about Ye Zijin's methods during the time she dealt with her.
Jiang Jingjing was as docile as a quail in front of Ye Zijing.
In Ye Zijing's eyes, how low was Lin Chunni's status?
So when Ye Zijing came to her, she made a request.
They can renovate the store for free, hire a chef to compete with Chi Chan's store, and all the income earned during this period will belong to her family.
The terms sounded like a win-win situation, and I was almost immediately tempted.
But her intuition told her that she couldn't accept this windfall.
Zhang Cui, who happened to be sitting at the same table, agreed without hesitation.
Lin Chunni tried to stop them but couldn't, and watched helplessly as Zhang Cui and Ye Zijing's people signed the contract on the spot.
After returning home and carefully reading the contract, they discovered that the profits belonged to them, but during this period, they had to unconditionally obey Ye Zijing's demands.
Lin Chunni held the contract speechlessly, while Zhang Cui was completely dumbfounded.
But the contract has already been signed, and what happens next is no longer up to them.
Lin Chunni and Zhang Cui racked their brains in private before coming up with a solution.
