Chapter 617 - 617 Waiting

617 Waiting

“I object!” the bald man in white replied with a serious expression.

If they agreed to Zhang Rong’s request today, it meant that they would all be under Zhang Rong’s control in the future.

Originally, his status was only slightly lower than Zhang Rong’s. He could currently still fight for it before Zhang Rong became a representative of the NPC. If he acquiesced to Zhang Rong’s requests, the situation would only become increasingly unfavorable to him.

However, just as he raised an objection, Zhang Rong suddenly stood without any warning. The bald man in white was directly slapped to the ground by Zhang Rong. At the same time, his seat was flipped over with a bang, and many porcelain cups fell to the ground.

“Does anyone else have a different opinion?” Zhang Rong rubbed his wrist, looked around, and said indifferently.

However, other than the man in white who was sitting on the ground and looking at Zhang Rong blankly, the room was silent.

Chu Ning really sat in the noodle shop till dawn.

At half-past five in the morning, the sky began to brighten slightly. The street lamps had been turned off, and there were a few pedestrians and vehicles on the road. The sanitation workers drove the eco-friendly vehicles to empty the trash cans on the street one by one. The vivid images wrapped with various sounds kept entering Chu Ning’s mind.

The owner of the noodle shop also rubbed his sleepy eyes. He didn’t know when he had fallen asleep, but he had been chatting with Chu Ning the previous night, and his eyelids had become heavier and heavier. Then, he lay on the table and slept. When he woke up, he felt exceptionally blissful.

Chu Ning and the owner of the noodle shop had both reaped plenty of rewards.

Chu Ning found out that Minister Niu liked to eat the mutton noodles at this noodle shop through indirect inquiries. She even knew the exact time, which table he liked to sit at, and how much seasoning he added when eating the noodles. As for the owner of the noodle shop, he had received the biggest transfer since he had opened the shop. Naturally, he told Chu Ning everything he knew.

“Morning.” Chu Ning looked at the boss who kept yawning and said with a smile.

“President Chu is young. You sure are energetic.” The owner of the noodle shop couldn’t help but lament when he saw that Chu Ning was still in high spirits after staying up all night.

What the owner of the noodle shop did not know was that Chu Ning was also feeling sleepy. However, as soon as she thought of the news that Xu Xi had told her, Chu Ning felt revitalized once more. She kept an eye on the situation diagonally opposite her.

If nothing unexpected happened, Minister Niu would come to this noodle shop every morning to have noodles, so now Chu Ning only needed to rest easy and await his arrival.

“It’s not easy for you to wake up so early every day.” Chu Ning felt that the owner of the noodle shop was really amazing.

After all, she only occasionally stayed up all night, but the owner of the noodle shop had to wake up so early daily… Chu Ning put herself in his shoes and thought about it. It might not be possible for her to wake up at this time every day.

“The whole family is waiting for me to support them. I don’t want to come so early, but I have no choice. I have to live. I heard that rich people don’t have mornings because most of them sleep until noon.” The noodle shop owner was somewhat helpless and sighed.

“Maybe.” Chu Ning didn’t deny it. However, the images of many people appeared in her mind.

Mr. and Mrs. Chu were the same. They worked hard, from dawn to dusk every day. The income they earned was barely enough or not even enough to cover the family’s expenses.

On the other hand, Wen An, who was chief of a large village with upwards of a thousand people, had his hands so full that he didn’t even have time to sleep. His monthly income was only 3,000 yuan, which was not even the average salary in M City.

Then there was Su Kun. It could be said that the economic value he created in an hour was more than what most could generate in their lifetime… This was the difference between people.

“I can’t imagine what the life of a rich person is like, but President Chu, your extravagance yesterday really shocked me. Now, do you want a bowl of steaming hot noodles? I’ve already marinated the mutton last night. A bowl of tender mutton soup and a sliced scallion pancake are very delicious,” the boss continued. At the same time, he had already begun to skillfully prepare the ingredients.

“I’ll have a serving, thank you.” Chu Ning did not refuse. She was indeed a little hungry after staying up all night.

Minister Niu would definitely come. Now that the countdown had begun, Chu Ning felt the palpitations she felt a few months ago when she had made her first pot of gold.

Using the time difference, she successfully earned more than 10 million yuan. Now, whether she could make another qualitative leap depended on whether Minister Niu would agree to her request.
