Jiang Shiyue asked the seniors from the Chemistry Department to move aside, and she walked to the front.
"Ah? Mr. Duan? What brings you here?" Jiang Shiyue pretended to be surprised.
Duan Kunze nearly gnashed his teeth to pieces, barely maintaining his outward composure and his usual gentlemanly demeanor. He gestured towards Jiang Shiyue, "Classmate Jiang, would you please do me the honor of treating you to a meal?"
Jiang Shiyue shook her head and refused without hesitation, "No!"
Duan Kunze's face instantly turned dark.
"But..." Jiang Shiyue spoke before Duan Kunze, "If Duan Zou is willing to wait, I can finish my meal with the seniors first, and then have a cup of tea with you. After all, everything has a first-come, first-served basis, and I made an appointment with the seniors first. Besides, I'm afraid Mr. Duan can't eat right now, right?"
Duan Kunze narrowed his eyes, "It's you who did it."
Jiang Shiyue had an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying!" and "You're being ridiculous!"
When she passed by Duan Kunze, she seemed to hear the sound of teeth grinding.
Jiang Shiyue smiled, "Boss Duan, you don't have to feel wronged. I was sincere to Dongsheng, and all I wanted was a few pieces of rice to fill my stomach. You first destroyed my job, and now you're acting like you've been cheated, who are you trying to show me?"
Duan Kunze: “…”
Duan Kunze nodded, made way, made a gesture of invitation, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll wait."
The seniors were hesitant to speak.
They cared about Jiang Shiyue, but they were not very familiar with her and were afraid of asking questions that they shouldn't.
It was Liu Xian who spoke up for everyone: "Shiyue, why does Mr. Duan look like he's going to cause you trouble?"
They all worked part-time at Dongsheng before it opened, so they all knew Duan Kunze.
In particular, Liu Xian knew that Jiang Shiyue was fully focused on the opening of Dongsheng during that period. She would leave as soon as the dormitory building opened in the morning and would not come back until the lights were almost turned off at night.
"It's okay." Jiang Shiyue shrugged. "He wanted to steal my wages, but then he realized that some money had to be spent and he couldn't bear to part with it."
When Liu Xian saw Jiang Shiyue's attitude, she knew that Jiang Shiyue was definitely not the one who suffered the loss, so she didn't say anything else.
Liu Xian and her fellow classmates are all fans of Shandong cuisine, so Jiang Shiyue found a restaurant that serves Shandong cuisine and ordered a table full of dishes.
The dishes are quite authentic, but the taste of the noodles is far from good.
Liu Xian broke open a steamed bun and said, "How strange! Why do steamed buns made with the same flour taste different?"
A senior student said, "It's not the same flour. We only have one season over there, so the wheat flour we grind is chewy." She pinched the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Maybe the wheat in the south doesn't have a single season, or maybe it's due to the climate, so the flour isn't chewy."
"Yeah! I should have applied to a university in the north. My high school teacher was from the south and went there to work in the countryside. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known there was a university here."
“…”
Several people started talking at once, comparing their hometowns with Flower City, from food to climate to culture, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became heated.
Liu Xian occasionally glanced at Duan Kunze, who was sitting at the next table. Finally, she couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Shiyue. "Shiyue, how about we break up? Look at that Mr. Duan. He looks like he wants to chop us up with a knife."
Jiang Shiyue had been roommates with Liu Xian for a while, and she knew that when she said "break up," she didn't mean going their separate ways, but rather ending the dinner. She shook her head and said, "I still have something to ask the seniors. There's no rush."
A senior student nearby had sharp ears and heard Jiang Shiyue's words and asked her, "Student Jiang, feel free to ask anything you want to ask."
Jiang Shiyue didn't hesitate to ask the question in her mind: "Can the diapers or sanitary napkins we make be thinner? Can the paper or fabric be improved to make them softer and more delicate?"
The senior student pondered for a moment and shook his head. "We've carefully studied the diapers and fabrics you brought back. We can still improve the absorbent material inside, trying to make it as thin and light as you said. But paper isn't within our professional scope, so we don't know."
When the other seniors heard their voices, they all started talking.
In short, polymer materials can be improved, but they can do nothing about soft paper and what Jiang Shiyue called non-woven fabrics.
However, the seniors are all responsible people. After some thought and discussion, they said that they would be responsible for asking alumni of the same grade.
Because most of the college students before were workers, peasants and soldiers, and many of them had already started working before going to college, it was not difficult to find a classmate who worked in a paper mill.
Jiang Shiyue didn't bother to be polite with them. After thanking them repeatedly, she paid the bill and then walked towards Duan Kunze, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Duan Kunze's patience was almost exhausted. When he finally saw Jiang Shiyue coming, he immediately stood up and walked out.
Jiang Shiyue didn't call him, and walked out the door in the opposite direction.
After a few minutes, a shrill whistle was heard.
Jiang Shiyue turned her head and Duan Kunze leaned out of the rear window and asked her, "Jiang Shiyue, are you done yet?"
Jiang Shiyue pretended to be afraid and took two steps back, "Mr. Duan, I'm timid, don't scare me."
Duan Kunze: “…”
He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, and sneered: "Jiang Shiyue, do you really think I can't do anything to you? Do you believe that I can kill you quietly in Huacheng?"
"I believe it." Jiang Shiyue nodded happily. "Of course I do! I've experienced it myself, right? We signed a contract in black and white, and you just changed your mind. Isn't it because I have no way to sue you?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Shiyue suddenly thought, that was before, now, can I hug Chen Shanhe's thighs?!
Thinking of this, she added, "So, Mr. Duan, after much thought, I decided to go home and call my man along. Otherwise, if I'm so stupid, you'll sell me out and I'll have to count the money for you."
Duan Kunze: “…”
Is she stupid?
He once thought Jiang Shiyue was just a little clever, but now...
He felt that he was the stupid one.
After several rounds of bargaining, Duan Kunze still drove the car obediently and followed Jiang Shiyue.
Jiang Shiyue said she didn't trust him and couldn't get into his car alone.
But Duan Kunze needed her help, so he could only grit his teeth and listen to her.
Jiang Shiyue went home and asked Yangyang to follow Li Xiao first. She and Chen Shanhe went downstairs and got into Duan Kunze's car.
Duan Kunze couldn't wait any longer, so he found a teahouse nearby. It wasn't very big, but it was clean.
Jiang Shiyue ordered the best tea and said with a look of disgust, "Mr. Duan, you are becoming less and less gentlemanly. You don't even choose the place when you invite guests?"
Duan Kunze didn't bother to argue with Jiang Shiyue and went straight to the point: "Did you cause the current predicament of Dongsheng?"
Jiang Shiyue, of course, refused to acknowledge him. "Boss Duan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't forget, I'm your discarded pawn. How could I possibly set up a trap for you?"
