"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

Wu Shiyin wove through the alleyways with Yang Xiao, quickly leaving the alley district and entering the bustling streets. Around seven or eight minutes later, Wu Shiyin stopped the vehicle and pointed at a late-night food stall in the distance. "Go grab a table first. I'm afraid there won't be any left in a bit."

"Got it." Yang Xiao jumped out and ran toward the food stall while Wu Shiyin looked for somewhere to park.

"Boss, give me an empty table." When Yang Xiao reached the stall, he found that there were indeed quite a few people. There were only one or two empty tables left. Just as Wu Shiyin had said, if they came any later, there would not even be a place to sit.

"How many people?" A female server walked over and asked politely.

"Probably two," Yang Xiao said.

"Okay, this way please." The server led Yang Xiao to an empty table that could seat four people.

"Thanks." Yang Xiao thanked her and sat down. Wu Shiyin had already parked and walked over. His silver hair immediately drew quite a few glances, and Wu Shiyin was not bad-looking either. He could even be called somewhat handsome. He just never cared much about dressing himself up, which made him look sloppy.

"Nice, there's still an empty seat." Wu Shiyin sat across from Yang Xiao and smiled. "What do you want to eat?"

Yang Xiao did not know what this place specialized in, so he said casually, "You order. I don't know what they serve here."

Wu Shiyin thought that made sense. He first asked the server to bring over a menu, then started ordering on his own. He was not really stingy; the main issue was that he had not had any business before and had no money. Things were different now. The money in his account was increasing every day, all thanks to Yang Xiao.

So it did not matter if he spent a little more today. How much could they possibly eat?

After ordering, Wu Shiyin sent the owner off to prepare the food. Then he suddenly remembered something and smiled at Yang Xiao. "I just thought of a student. She's not doing too well financially either. How about I call her and have her come eat with us?"

"No problem, call her." It was not Yang Xiao's money anyway, so he truly did not care. He had no idea the person Wu Shiyin was referring to was a girl.

"Okay, I'll contact her now." Wu Shiyin smiled, picked up his phone, and dialed a number. After chatting briefly, he hung up.

"She said she'll be here soon. Want something to drink? Beer? Or sake?" Wu Shiyin rubbed his hands together. Late-night food was naturally better with more people; what was the fun in just two grown men eating?

He could not really get along with someone Yang Xiao's age, though they did have common topics. He also had people his own age whom he could call over for a meal, but he did not think it was necessary.

No one had come to help him when he was down and out. What would it mean to invite them over now that he was making money?

Of course, that was another matter if they were close. He just would not call them today.

"Beer. I'm not very used to sake." Yang Xiao had not drunk much sake. The memory came from his previous world; he had tried some before, but he still thought beer tasted better. Especially in this neither-hot-nor-cold weather, beer was the most suitable.

"Okay. Server, six bottles of beer!" Wu Shiyin shouted. In a place like this, the server would never hear him unless he raised his voice. There were too many customers around.

"Six bottles? I can't drink three bottles," Yang Xiao immediately said with a wave of his hand. Though three bottles of beer would not get him drunk, too much of the stuff was not good.

"Don't worry, someone else is coming. Two bottles each is just right." Wu Shiyin ignored Yang Xiao and had the server bring the beer.

Once the beer arrived, Yang Xiao poured Wu Shiyin a glass and poured one for himself. The two raised their glasses and said, "Cheers!"

"Gin-san, that's not very considerate. I haven't even arrived yet, and you already started drinking?"

A woman's voice sounded. Yang Xiao was drinking when he turned and saw who had come. He immediately spat out the beer in his mouth, nearly spraying it onto her.

"What are you doing?" the girl cried out, clearly startled by Yang Xiao's behavior. If you were drinking, then drink properly. Why were you spraying it everywhere?

Yang Xiao had no choice but to spit it out. If the person who had arrived were not someone he knew, he would not have reacted this way. The key was that he did know her, and knew her very well.

Toga Himiko!

A character from the League of Villains had actually appeared here today, and she even knew Wu Shiyin. That was interesting. The two of them seemed completely unrelated.

Toga Himiko was a villainous character in the anime My Hero Academia, yet she had received unanimous praise from viewers. She appeared before the public with a cute, innocent look, but beneath that was a bloodthirsty young girl with a twisted heart and a huge contrast in personality, which won her many admirers.

She had also left a very clear impression on Yang Xiao. He had not expected to meet her in such a way.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Yang Xiao immediately stood and apologized. It really had been his fault.

"Gin-san, is he one of yours?" Toga Himiko turned to Wu Shiyin.

Wu Shiyin stood up with a laugh and looked at Yang Xiao. "Is seeing a pretty girl enough to get you this excited?"

Then he turned to Toga Himiko. "He works at my place. He's one of us, so don't mind him."

Hearing that Yang Xiao worked at Wu Shiyin's place, Toga Himiko's expression finally improved somewhat. She walked to the other side and sat down, tapping the table. "Have you ordered already?"

"We have." Wu Shiyin and Yang Xiao sat back down as well.

"Did you order what I like to eat too?" Toga Himiko asked again.

Wu Shiyin shook his head. "I don't like that stuff you eat. It's too fishy."

"Oh, then I'll go order it myself." She got up and walked toward the server. As she passed several tables, the young men seated there all gave her extra looks. Her figure and face were perfect.

Yang Xiao was secretly impressed as well. Toga Himiko's figure and looks were well-proportioned, and today she wore an innocent-looking outfit: a patterned long-sleeved top and a skirt below. The skirt did not even reach her knees, revealing her pair of pale legs.

"Stop staring at her. Let me tell you, she's not someone you can think about. You'd better behave yourself. Little Toga has a rather strange personality and temper; even I can't quite figure her out," Wu Shiyin warned Yang Xiao, telling him not to entertain any messy thoughts.

Yang Xiao did not need Wu Shiyin to tell him that. He knew Toga Himiko's background well enough and naturally knew how to deal with her. In short, he only needed to act like a normal person.

Seeing Yang Xiao nod, Wu Shiyin did not continue. Today was a happy day, and they needed to eat well and enjoy themselves.

After ordering the dishes she wanted, Toga Himiko returned. She gave Yang Xiao a glance, looked him over from head to toe, then turned to Wu Shiyin and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, your Problem Solver is open for business again?"

"That's right, that's right." Wu Shiyin laughed heartily, clearly delighted by the question. "If you want to make money, come on over. You have plenty of time anyway."

"You know I have plenty of time?" Toga Himiko said with a smile that did not reach her eyes. "What if I'm busy?"

"Busy?" Wu Shiyin said indifferently. "Then forget it. If you won't seize a good opportunity to make money, I can only give Little Yang a few more benefits."
