Chapter 179 After two hours of hard work, Master Lin began to make protein
"Let's choose books first. There's no need to waste time here."

Jiang Xiaoqi was ready to make a move.

She knew that she might not be able to go back tonight, so she didn't want to waste time here.

"I'll take pictures of these books, and then we'll go."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the books in their hands. After going back to organize them, they could send them to the students' parents.

"Ladies."

Just as the two were choosing books and taking photos, the female clerk came over.

"Hello, we don't allow you to take photos of the books in our store. I hope you can cooperate."

"Okay, okay, we got it."

Books in physical stores are a little more expensive than those online, so many people come to bookstores, read the contents first, and then buy them online.

If there are more and more incidents like this, the bookstore’s sales will naturally be affected.

Normally, the clerk wouldn't say anything if they just took some photos, but Jiang Xiaoqi and Xu Xinrui took too many photos, which prompted the clerk to come over and remind them.

Jiang Xiaoqi also understood this rule, and after expressing her apologies, she prepared to leave.

"The work is not done yet, no need to leave in a hurry."

Zhu Xiaopeng stopped Jiang Xiaoqi and looked at the female clerk.

"We are from Huaihe No. 2 Primary School. I am the teacher in charge of logistics and purchasing. We have purchasing needs, so I came here to take a look. Do I need to say more? Go and do your own thing, and don't get involved in our business."

Um? ah?
The female clerk has a bit of a silly and cute attribute, and it seems that she doesn't understand what it means.

"What does being a school teacher have to do with violating bookstore rules? We are not allowed to take photos casually. Why are you telling me so much?"

Jiang Xiaoqi covered her face and turned her head away, feeling completely humiliated.

Lin Jiang felt that this matter really could not be blamed on Zhu Xiaopeng, the bootlicker.

Zhu Xiaopeng has purchasing authority, so when he comes to the bookstore, people will give him some face.

It may be that this female clerk has not yet adapted to the rules of the workplace and does not understand the ins and outs of it.

Zhu Xiaopeng felt a little embarrassed and his tone became higher.

"You don't even know these rules, and you still have the nerve to work in a bookstore?"

All the anger in his heart was vented on the female shop assistant.

"Go find your store manager and I'll have a good talk with him."

Feeling aggrieved after being scolded for no apparent reason, the female clerk turned and walked towards the counter.

"Teacher Jiang, don't worry. We are here to choose books to give him face. With me here, I will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

"Let's not do that. We've almost made our selections anyway. She's just a clerk. There's no need to embarrass her."

"No way, this is the rule. You have to understand this when you work here."

I didn't like Zhu Xiaopeng in the first place, and now that he's using chicken feathers as a token of authority, I dislike him even more.

At this time, the female clerk came over with the store manager.

"Brother, that's him."

The female clerk pointed at Zhu Xiaopeng and said:

"She said she worked at the school and insisted on taking pictures here."

Hearing this name, they realized that their relationship was not ordinary, but that they were brother and sister.

The male store manager glanced at Zhu Xiaopeng.

"Sir, what do you mean? We do have such a rule in our store. We are not allowed to take pictures casually."

"I'm a teacher in charge of school logistics. We have a purchasing plan every year. You're also an employee of the bookstore, so you should know the rules."

"Your purchasing plan was all carried out at Xinhua Bookstore. What does it have to do with private bookstores? What's the point of using this as an excuse?"

The male store manager spoke very rudely, obviously speaking up for his sister.

And he obviously understood the rules of the industry, catching Zhu Xiaopeng off guard.

"The bulk of our purchases are definitely from Xinhua Bookstore, but we also occasionally purchase some extracurricular reading materials from private bookstores."

"Stop it. I used to be a channel for the school, so I know the ins and outs here. It's useless for you to tell me this, and don't act silly in front of me. Just leave now."

"No, how can you talk like that!"

Zhu Xiaopeng couldn't save face and raised his tone.

"That's what I'm saying. You better leave now, or I'm calling the police."

"you!"

"Okay, stop talking."

Jiang Xiaoqi pulled Zhu Xiaopeng aside and apologized to the male store manager.

"I'm so sorry, we'll leave now."

Seeing Jiang Xiaoqi's good attitude, the male manager's anger subsided a lot.

It was a harmless matter, but no brother could stand this man showing off to his sister.

At this time, the male store manager saw Lin Jiang standing behind and kept looking at him.

"Aren't you the owner of Xiao Jiang Noodle House?"

"You still know me?"

The male store manager smiled.

"My sister and I have been eating noodles from your restaurant these past few days, and we've seen you several times."

"Thank you for your support. I'm sorry for the trouble you caused today. I'll give you a discount when you eat noodles in my shop next time."

"What's the trouble? If I had known you were my friend, I wouldn't have cared."

The male store manager turned around and looked at Jiang Xiaoqi and Xu Xinrui.

"We are all family. I am sorry for what happened just now. Please feel free to take pictures. If you want to buy books, I will give you the lowest discount."

"Thank you, store manager."

Jiang Xiaoqi looked at Lin Jiang with admiration.

In her opinion, this is the best way for a mature man to handle things.

Instead of shouting and using your pitiful status to gain dignity for yourself.

"Your brother Jiang is really amazing. He didn't say anything, but the store manager gave us such a big favor. From now on, we can both come here to buy books."

"Hehe, my brother Jiang is very good."

"Yes, yes, your brother Jiang is the best."

"This is normal. The two stores are not far from each other. Everyone will give this little bit of face. It's nothing at all."

Zhu Xiaopeng said nonchalantly: "When it comes to the ways of the world, I've been in the workplace for so many years, I know much more than him."

Jiang Xiaoqi rolled her eyes in her heart, but she didn't plan to choose any more books. She would leave after the two of them finished chatting.

"By the way, Boss Lin, I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

"I went to the supermarket on the underground floor to buy some things some time ago, and I saw Mr. Huang calling you Mr. Lin and speaking to you politely. Do you two know each other?"

"I bought this mall some time ago. I am considered Huang Youwei's boss, so he calls me Mr. Lin."

"what?"

The male store manager was shocked.

Jiang Xiaoqi and the other two were also shocked.

"If I heard correctly, your brother Jiang seemed to say that he bought this place."

"Well, that seems to be what they say..."

"It would cost hundreds of millions to buy such a big shopping mall..."

"I'm not so sure either……"

"Don't listen to his bragging, there must be something fishy here." Zhu Xiaopeng said disdainfully.

The male store manager was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"You bought the Berkeley Mall? How much did it cost?"

"About a dozen small goals, not as exaggerated as you think."

"No wonder the general manager of the mall calls you Mr. Lin. It turns out you bought this place."

The male store manager's attitude instantly changed from polite to flattering.

"Boss Lin, tell your friends that they don't need to take pictures anymore. Just pick out all the books you like and I'll give them away for free."

"How can that be possible? This also costs you money."

"You're not a stranger, you don't have to be polite."

The male store manager was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world and looked at Jiang Xiaoqi.

"You are Mr. Lin's friend. If you want to buy any books in the future, just come to me. They are all free."

"Thank you." Jiang Xiaoqi thanked him repeatedly, but she would definitely not come, as she did not want to lose Lin Jiang's face because of such a small matter.

"You're welcome, as long as you can honor us with your presence."

Jiang Xiaoqi is a little socially anxious. Faced with such a situation, she didn't know how to deal with it for a moment, so she quietly stood behind Lin Jiang.

But she felt happy and a little proud in her heart.

Because no matter whether men or women, they all care about face, but the way they do it is different.

And the scene that just happened also made her feel proud.

"I have other things to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin will be busy first."

Lin Jiang took the two women away, and the three of them came to the outside of the bookstore.

"You probably haven't eaten yet. If you want to eat something, I'll take you to eat something."

"Brother Jiang, let's go to your noodle shop to eat. Xinrui wants to go there too."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Teacher Jiang, isn't it your aunt's birthday today? Don't you have to go home for dinner?" Zhu Xiaopeng said.

"I don't have to go home to eat."

"If you don't go back, the things will go bad, and the flowers will no longer be fresh."

"It's okay, just take it back."

"The main reason is that I don't like cake very much, so I'd better take it back to Auntie."

"My mother has diabetes and can't eat sweet things."

Zhu Xiaopeng: …

"That, that..."

Zhu Xiaopeng hesitated to speak, but still said unwillingly:

"You don't have to eat the cake. I'll just give you this bouquet of flowers to express my feelings."

"Forget it. My mother doesn't like meeting strangers. Let's wait for another opportunity in the future."

"Your colleague reminded me. I will give this watch to your aunt later. This will show more sincerity." Lin Jiang said.

Jiang Xiaoqi responded quickly, "Okay."

"Wait a minute, doesn't Auntie dislike meeting strangers?"

"Brother Jiang has met my mother several times, so he is not a stranger."

Zhu Xiaopeng: …

"Teacher Zhu, we're leaving first. Bye..."

Jiang Xiaoqi took Lin Jiang's arm and walked away quickly, fearing that Zhu Xiaopeng would follow them.

[Task completed (annoying flies): reward labor card*1, 20 experience points]

Lin Jiang smiled.

Easy and enjoyable, without any difficulty.

"Finally got rid of him. He was annoying me."

"Does this person have a special identity? It seems like you have been holding back on your fighting ability."

"Principal Zhou has passed away. He is the nephew of the new principal. I should be polite to him."

"I thought it was no big deal. Next time you meet someone like him, just refuse him directly. I will help you deal with any troubles."

"Got it, thank you Brother Jiang."

"Can you two consider the feelings of a single person like me? I'm going to bore you two to death."

"Hehe, I'm just mad at you. If you have the ability, go find him."

Chatting and laughing, the three of them arrived at the noodle shop.

Seeing Lin Jiang leading Jiang Xiaoqi over, Yan Ming's voice of cutting meat became louder.

"Fuck it, why are all the women around Brother Jiang so hot? I'm so jealous."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

Zheng Jiachun doesn't talk much and won't complain about Lin Jiang with Yan Ming like Yang Tao did.

More than half an hour later, the three of them finished their noodles.

Standing at the door of the store, Xu Xinrui waved to the two of them.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for the treat. I won't be a light bulb here anymore. I wish you two a happy date."

"Next time you come to eat, just mention Xiaoqi's name and the meal will be free for you."

"That's settled. I won't be polite with you."

"it is good."

Xu Xinrui took a taxi and left.

The two returned to the car, and Jiang Xiaoqi returned the watch that Lin Jiang bought to him.

"Brother Jiang, you are the boss here, so you should have some privileges. Hurry up and return this watch. My mother is not having her birthday today, so she can't take your things."

"Then I'll give it to Auntie on her birthday later."

"Isn't this the same as asking you for a gift? How could I do such a thing?"

"It doesn't matter, just find a way to pay it back."

"Oh... If that's the case, then you'd be their creditor."

“It’s good that you have this self-awareness.”

"That, that..."

Jiang Xiaoqi was so embarrassed that she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Then where do you want people to pay their debts?"

Lin Jiang thought of his labor card and felt it would be better to use it as soon as possible.

"Money is a bit tight lately, so it might cost a lot to go to a hotel."

Just buying a watch for his mother cost more than 7 yuan. Jiang Xiaoqi knew that Lin Jiang definitely could not be short of money.

There must be another meaning.

"I am the one who owes the money, and I have no right to make decisions. What to do is up to you, the creditor, to decide."

A crack opened in Pandora's box, allowing you to switch to the devil form at any time.

"What do you think of my Maybach?"

"fine……"

Pandora's Box opened, and he successfully switched to the form of a little devil, and immediately understood what Lin Jiang meant.

As she spoke, Jiang Xiaoqi's hand reached for the armrest of the central control.

Lin Jiang drove away from the noodle shop.

For outdoor activities, you have to play with talented people.

Lin Jiang parked the car on an empty road, and his hard work began.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. After two hours of hard work, Chef Lin began to make protein and successfully delivered it to the customers.

[You gave the teacher a vivid lesson on food, your understanding +1]

hiccup~~~
Jiang Xiaoqi quietly got up and burped embarrassedly.

"It's already past nine o'clock. Should we go back now?"

"I, I can go back later. I can just say that I'm having dinner and watching a movie with Xinrui outside. I just need to be back before 12 o'clock."

Lin Jiang understood Jiang Xiaoqi's meaning immediately, and it was obvious that he was still a little unsatisfied.

“There’s a new hotel nearby, it looks pretty good.”

"Brother Jiang~~~"

"what happened?"

Jiang Xiaoqi pointed out the car window.

"what happened?"

"Oh, I've pointed it out to you, but you haven't seen it yet?"

"There's nothing much out there, just a park that hasn't been built yet."

"People, they are talking about the unfinished park..."

“How can a park that has not been built be…”

Lin Jiang suddenly shut up.

Let’s just say…

"Qibao, it's hard for me not to love you like this..."
