618 Minister Niu
At around seven in the morning, the number of people in the noodle shop gradually increased.
The lady boss of the noodle shop had also come to help. Both husband and wife had gentle smiles on their faces. In contrast, Chu Ning rested her chin on her hands and stared blankly outside.
Even though the noodle shop was a little noisy, it seemed as though she could not hear anything.
About an hour later, past eight in the morning, there were fewer people in the noodle shop. Most were older people having breakfast with children. Those who had jobs had already started work.
At this moment, a man in his fifties wearing a checkered linen shirt and black-rimmed glasses walked into the noodle shop with a serious expression.
This person’s eyebrows were very distinctive; black and thick.
Chu Ning knew that the person she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Minister Niu walked to an empty table and said with a smile while rubbing his stomach, “Same old, a bowl of mutton noodles, and a lamb leg, hooves, and tripe.”
The meeting the night before had lasted until midnight. Although he had been famished, Minister Niu did not have the habit of eating supper.
“Boss, give me one of the same.” Chu Ning’s voice followed closely behind. After she finished speaking, she stood up and sat opposite Minister Niu.
Minister Niu didn’t have much of a reaction to the young girl who had suddenly appeared before him. After taking a glance, he lowered his head and picked his phone up to read the news.
Minister Niu’s official position was actually not that high, but the economic benefits that this position could bring were unimaginable.
The land planning scheme that he uttered might allow many people to realize financial freedom — the kind that could allow them to take it easy for the rest of their lives.
“The flavors at this restaurant are indeed second to none in the city.” Chu Ning could only initiate conversation; she had no choice as she wanted to ask him for something.
“The taste is indeed not bad, but it seems like this is your first time eating here?” After hearing Chu Ning’s words, Minister Niu smiled and put down his phone.
“Yes.” Chu Ning didn’t say that she had been waiting for him. She had already stayed up all night.
“Is there something you need from me?” Minister Niu looked at Chu Ning, his eyes flickering as he suddenly asked
“If I can take up your time, Minister Niu, I think we can go somewhere quieter after eating the noodles.” Chu Ning suppressed the flurry of thoughts and the excitement she felt.
Judging from Minister Niu’s tone, the possibility of her plan being completed would greatly increase.
“Chu Ning, you should be having your final exams soon. And at this time, you’re not sitting in the classroom preparing for the exam but waiting for me here. Don’t you want to get into university?” Minister Niu looked at Chu Ning with a strange expression.
Obviously, he knew Chu Ning.
“Minister Niu, have we met before?” Chu Ning was also a little puzzled. Before that day, her life trajectory should not have overlapped with Minister Niu’s.
But now, from his tone, it seemed like…he knew her?
“No, but you’re my daughter’s idol!” Minister Niu said emotionally.
Chu Ning was delighted. She tried her best to control her tone and asked, “Your daughter is also in Jingyuan High School?”
“That’s not it.” Minister Niu waved his hand casually and continued, “I get a fixed salary. I don’t have the financial ability to send my daughter to an elite school like Jingyuan High School.”
“I’m quite curious. I heard from my daughter that your grades are even better than Bai Yu, who is the top student in their grade. However, that fellow Bai Yu can’t wait to spend his meal time studying. How is it you appear so leisurely? Is there a secret?” Minister Niu looked very interested.
As for Chu Ning’s true motive in coming to find him, it was still unknown whether he knew about it.
“Actually, there’s no secret. It depends on the effort one puts in and how much they comprehend.” Chu Ning felt that she couldn’t possibly say that she had learned the knowledge of these systems in a parallel world…
“Then you really are a genius. No wonder my daughter worships you so much. She has so many photos of you hanging in her room. This is also why I know your name even though I have never seen you before.” Minister Niu rubbed his nose awkwardly.
“What? My poster, er… May I ask, where did your daughter get those from?” Although Chu Ning was a little speechless, she still asked.
“It doesn’t seem to be mass-produced. I was curious too. She said that she downloaded your photo from your school’s official forum and paid someone to create them,” Minister Niu explained awkwardly for his daughter.
