Chapter 151

“Shifu, are you going to school today?”

“Yes, I have to go, at least check-in before sneaking out. By the way, what’s ‘Shifu’?”

“It’s just a term of address, I think it’s pretty good.”

“Whatever. By the way, Xu Lin, I trust you, I trust you won’t let me down.”

“What do you mean?”

“Just take it at face value!”

Chu Fengyi was speaking while reaching behind her, gathering her hair together. Xu Lin hurriedly walked behind her and tied it up for her.

“I want to make twin ponytails, you’ve just made a single one.”

“A single ponytail looks good too, we can’t have twin ponytails every day, right?”

To be honest, although it looks good, he’s a bit tired of the aesthetic and he wants to see a single ponytail instead.

“Alright, do you have confidence in fixing my hair for me?”

“Don’t worry, I can still do a single ponytail.”

Although Xu Lin isn’t skilled in styling, he used to enjoy tying ponytails for his mom since he was young. As he got busier with studies in junior high, he gradually forgot about it.

Xu Lin smoothly brushed her hair and then made a high ponytail. Chu Fengyi glanced at it on her phone and nodded. “It’s surprisingly good. Where did you learn to do it so skillfully?”

“I used to comb my mom’s hair all the time, but once I entered high school, I stopped helping her.”

“Is that so? I also used to... By the way, did you manage to sort out your shop?”

“I did, got the shop for free, can use it for a year.”

“Oh, you didn’t sign a contract, did you?”

“No.”

“If you fall into a pit, remember to call me to help you out.”

Chu Fengyi said, She has seen countless people who think they have pie in the sky, only to end up with a pancake.

“It’s hard to believe that Mr. Cui, a provincial deputy, would do such a thing.”

“The rich have a lot of free time, they can afford anything. But owning a small shop isn’t a big deal, worst case scenario, I can buy it for you. As for other situations, I can handle them.”

“So that’s why I dare to be bold. When my business picks up, I plan to buy a shop of my own.”

“What are you buying?” At this moment, Ji Yun and Chu Qingchan also walked in from outside, each holding two bags.

“It’s about the shop. I bought breakfast. I woke up a bit late today, so I didn’t come over to make breakfast for you.”

Xu Lin also felt a bit apologetic, but such situations might happen more often in the future. After all, there are only a few people around now, but if all twelve of them were around...

Suddenly, it felt like unless he didn’t sleep for 24 hours, there would be no way to serve each girl.

“No problem, we bought rice porridge and soy milk. Eating staple food in the morning will make you gain weight.”

“Okay, then I’ll take the buns home. My dad and mom like to eat buns.”

“Okay, go back and change clothes, and then we’ll set off.” Chu Qingchan seemed somewhat excited, which left Xu Lin bewildered.

“Big Star Chu, what’s going on with you? Usually, it’s you who says you’re too tired, too tired. Why the change of heart today?”

“Mr. Xu, this morning, I weighed myself and successfully dropped from 110 to 106, which is quite effective.”

“Well, you’re not really overweight. I wanted you to exercise to stay healthy.”

Chu Fengyi, who usually never cared about these trivial matters, asked a question.

“It depends on the situation. Apart from daily traffic, it also depends on the duration. It’s around 5,000 yuan a month.”

5,000 yuan is considered a good salary in Linshui now, or it will be in the future. After all, Linshui is just a small city.

Although the development is okay, it is still a small city that is not popular. In 2020 when he traveled through time, the per capita salary was only 3 to 4k, so 5k is quite a bit.

“But the workday must be quite long, right? About 10 hours a day?”

“After deducting the lunch break, it’s still about 12 hours.”

Ji Yun remembered how her father had worked day in and day out for over a decade to earn money to support the family. She was deeply moved and also felt heartache for him.

That’s why she has been working hard in her studies, striving to earn money in college in the future so she can help her family.

But seeing Xu Lin starting to open stores recently, she suddenly feels like she only knows how to study, while Xu Lin can already earn money on his own.

“Then let your dad drive for me.”

“Sister Fengyi, let my dad drive for you? He has never driven a sports car before!”

“I bought a business van recently instead of a sports car, it’s more convenient for running errands.”

“But I personally don’t like driving this kind of vehicle, and I don’t want to hire someone from the company. I think your dad should be able to do it.”

“No, no, he’s just an ordinary driver. He has never been a private chauffeur or anything!”

Ji Yun hurriedly waved her hand. She also understood that whether or not her father had ever been a private driver was irrelevant. Chu Fengyi would definitely pay a lot of money.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay according to normal wages. Can’t we let your father relax a bit? It’s not that I’m intentionally hiring a driver, but I really need one.”

“This...”

“Ji Yun, she needs someone over here, you should let Uncle go,” Xu Lin also advised Ji Yun, knowing what she was thinking.

This girl just thinks too much. Chu Fengyi is so carefree; she does things on a whim. She wouldn’t do something just to give you a favor or anything like that.

“Well, I’ll think about it. I’ll ask my dad first.”

“Okay, but my new car will arrive in a few days, so you have to let me know then.”

“Okay, thank you, Sister Fengyi.”

“You little girl, why are you so reserved with me? I’m going to the office now, you two go to your morning class.”

“Okay.”

Chu Fengyi sighed and turned a corner, heading upstairs. At that moment, a graceful black-haired beauty happened to be coming downstairs, walking towards her.

“Hello, Teacher Su.”

“Hello, Teacher Chu. Has Xu Lin arrived?”

“Yes, he has. Do you have something to discuss with him?”

“Yes, it’s regarding some study matters.”

“Ah, study matters~ He went to the classroom.” Chu Fengyi smiled, but it made Su Qingwan alert all over.

What does this smile mean... Does it really have something to do with study matters? The last time I met her, I must have appeared very distant, right?

I’m probably overthinking it. I’ll go find Xu Lin first; he’s been dragging down my English grades again lately!
