Xu Yi smiled at the two of them. "Manager Li, why don't you give me a pointer or two? If I don't do well, please don't take offense."
Li Wen's face reddened.
What the hell? This Military Boxing's only flaw was that it was too brutally beautiful.
But that also roused his competitive spirit, and he immediately issued an invitation. "Come on, classmate. Why don't we spar?"
"Forget it. I still have instant noodles to sell. I'll be going."
Xu Yi promptly disappeared into the mist.
The assistant beside him was so embarrassed that his feet nearly sank into the concrete floor.
"Manager Li, I'm sorry, I..."
"I told you already—there's always someone better, and there's always someone above you. What an interesting young man. Let's see if I can run into him tomorrow. I'm heading back to the company for a meeting."
"Xu Yi, you're here so early." The cafeteria auntie took the initiative to greet him.
"Yeah. I'm getting ready to work you all to death."

The auntie's face instantly turned awkward. What's with Xu Yi today? Why did he start attacking without even a frame of preparation?
But that didn't stop her from firing back.
"Hmph. What use is working part-time in college? When my son was in college, he brought several girlfriends home."
"What about boyfriends?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"Boyfr—!!"

"Xu Yi, you're avoiding romance to make money now, but once you enter society, all you'll find are saggy women."
"That would still be better than someone all wrinkled like you."

"Xu Yi!"
At that moment, a beautiful figure walked up to Xu Yi. She had delicate, attractive features.
The auntie's expression grew even uglier. She was even prettier than the girlfriends her son had found.
"Yao Yao, what brings you here? Want some instant noodles?"
"Xu Yi, let's break up. I don't think we're right for each other."
"Oh."
"That's it?"
"Mm."
Xu Ying glared at Xu Yi with a face full of resentment. "Xu Yi! Don't you have anything to say?"
"No."
Negative Emotion Points +20
Xu Yi's reaction greatly surprised Xu Ying. She had thought that if she proposed breaking up, Xu Yi would surely fall apart.
At the very least, he should have chased after the taxi and shouted, "Xu Ying, I can't live without you! How am I supposed to go on without you?"
When breaking up, Xu Yi wasn't humble or obsequious toward her. So where was she supposed to get her sense of superiority?
She was unwilling to accept it...
Thus, she refused to let it go. "Stop pretending. You clearly can't bear to lose me, yet you're putting on such a cold act."
"Are you encrusted with diamonds? Why wouldn't I be able to bear losing you...?"

"Xu Yi, don't you want to know why I'm breaking up with you?"
"I know."
"You know?"
Xu Yi didn't even lift his eyelids. Lowering his head, he tidied up his stall. "Because how could someone reeking of smoke like you possibly deserve someone sweet and soft like me? All boys are like kittens—everyone loves them. Plenty of girls will be eager for them."

"Xu Yi!"
Xu Ying completely lost her composure. "Let me tell you the truth. I took the civil service exam. I passed. Do you really think someone who sells instant noodles can still be worthy of me?"
Xu Yi finally raised his head. "With a pig's brain like yours, you passed the civil service exam? Suppose there was a bottle of diluted shit in the desert, and you were about to die of thirst. Would you drink it? Choose yes or no."
"Yes."
"Idiot. Choose or."

Xu Ying's chest heaved violently with anger, and she felt as if flames were shooting from the top of her head. "Xu Yi! I'll tell you the truth. Chen Wei confessed to me.
"His family works in the government system. As long as I become his girlfriend, I'll be guaranteed a secure position. What civil service exam? I'll just rely on the government."
"Go rely on your ass somewhere else. Stop blocking me from doing business and get lost! Don't make me post you on the school's confession wall."
"You, you... I haven't even posted you yet, you disgusting jerk."
"I'm the administrator."
"You win this round. Just you wait!"
After stamping her foot furiously, she left.
Nearby, the auntie was grinning like a chrysanthemum. She had wanted to mock him, but then she glanced at the instant noodles in his hand.
In the end, she held herself back.
Xu Yi, on the other hand, didn't feel much emotionally. He simply treated his former sincerity as something he had wasted on a dog.
Before long, the aroma of instant noodles began to spread.
Quite a few students changed direction and came to his window.
"Xu Yi, were you all right yesterday? I heard the supermarket owner has connections."
"Xu Yi, that owner said he was going to get someone to deal with you today. Be careful."
"Xu Yi, double meat-and-egg combo, plus a sausage."
At the same time, the production crew arrived at the cafeteria entrance.
Bingbing took the stage again, smiling sweetly at the camera.
"Dear viewers, this episode will continue following up on yesterday's incident."
Uncle Yu, meanwhile, looked exhausted and solemn.
He had spent the entire night in meetings, and the result was exactly what he had expected.
The matter was already beyond his ability to handle.
The higher-ups had immediately formed a joint investigation team.
By the end of the meeting, even the military district had called.
To avoid frightening Xu Yi, the higher-ups had still decided to let him step in and resolve it first.
The military district had even declared that if the matter wasn't handled properly, the army would send people over personally.
"I hope nothing else goes wrong today."
After muttering to himself, Uncle Yu put on a smile and headed toward Xu Yi's window.
"Xu Yi, no one's causing trouble at your stall, right?"
The principal jogged over at that moment and hurriedly answered, "Don't worry, Director. I've arranged everything. No one will trouble Xu Yi again."
"Mm, good."
Xu Yi nodded obediently. "Thank you, Uncle Yu. Thank you, Principal. Sit down first. I'll make you both a bowl of noodles."
Only after seeing Uncle Yu sit down did the principal dare to take a seat.
Uncle Yu looked at the principal meaningfully. "He's the descendant of a martyr. Having him sell instant noodles in the cafeteria isn't exactly appropriate, is it?"
"Don't worry, Director. We discussed this last night. Since Xu Yi's grades are excellent, we plan to arrange a generous scholarship for him. The cafeteria will be open to him free of charge. We'll make sure he doesn't have to work part-time anymore."
Uncle Yu nodded lightly without saying anything else.
But several leaders, including the principal, all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's try Student Xu's cooking later and see how it is."
"I heard instant noodles with an egg and sausage are a perfect combination."
The atmosphere relaxed, and someone cracked a joke.
But the very next second, no one was laughing anymore.
The supermarket owner came striding over with several people, radiating aggression.
"You're deliberately making trouble for our supermarket, aren't you?"
"I'll give you three minutes. Pack up your things and get out of here."
Xu Yi lowered his head dejectedly, but he could barely conceal his smile.
Excellent. Absolutely excellent!
He was shaking uncontrollably from holding back his laughter.
But to outsiders, it looked as though Xu Yi was trembling in fear after being threatened.
Everyone's anger instantly reached its peak.
The principal was especially shocked and terrified.
If something goes wrong again today, I'm really going to be in deep trouble.
Uncle Yu snorted coldly, deep fury hidden in his eyes. "Wait a moment. Let's see what they're actually planning to do."
"I rented this stall for half a year. You have no right to drive me away."
"Heh—rights? In this school, I am the rights."
The owner sneered smugly before pulling out a document.
"See this? It's an order specially approved by the school leaders to shut down your stall. You really won't give up until you see the coffin."
Anger Points +100 Tension Points +100
Fire seemed ready to shoot from Uncle Yu's eyes. "Which one of you approved this for him?"
Several leaders looked at one another.
"Not me."
"Not me either. How would I dare?"
The principal wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Director, give me five minutes. I'll investigate this immediately."
Xu Yi stubbornly raised his head. "No! If I leave, the students will never get to eat three-yuan-fifty instant noodles again."
