Chapter 644 - 317: Principal: Feed Me Purple Eggs, Feed Me Purple Eggs!

But in Principal Wang’s eyes, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

It’s not the anger of the leader that one fears, but the sudden escalation of that anger.

As long as Yang Shu’s anger didn’t escalate again, he still had a way to pass the buck.

As long as he dumped all the blame on Guo Yi, at worst he would just retire on the spot.

With this in mind, he directly took out his phone and dialed the office director’s number.

"Make sure to process Wang Zihao’s scholarship application as quickly as possible!"

"Also, check if Wang Zihao has applied for scholarships in the past two years, and whether he successfully received them!"

"Send all this information to my email in detail, do it immediately!"

Yang Shu wasn’t worried about Principal Wang’s pretense but was too lazy to deal with him.

He walked straight up to Wang Zihao and reassured him, "Don’t worry, you will definitely be able to pay tribute to your father today."

"Since the school has prepared things, you might as well wait a little longer, it doesn’t cost you anything anyway."

Hearing this gentle voice, the tension in Wang Zihao’s body finally eased.

"Thank you, thank you."

"That’s too formal, just call me Uncle Yang from now on."

Yang Shu helped him up and sat with him on the chair.

Apparently, there were smart people in the cafeteria kitchen too.

Soon, a bowl of fragrant and delicious noodles was brought out.

Seeing the bowl of noodles, Wang Zihao instantly swallowed hard.

He hadn’t had such tasty noodles in a long time.

"I..."

"It’s okay, go ahead and eat, it’s prepared just for you."

After getting the confirmation, Yang Shu couldn’t resist his hunger and started devouring the food.

In no time, Wang Zihao had devoured the bowl of noodles along with the broth.

Before he could even say he wasn’t full, another bowl of fragrant noodles was brought over.

Seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream were deeply moved.

"To be fair, everyone in this school, from the principal to the cooks, is really good at reading the room."

"Honestly, in today’s highly competitive world, unless you’re exceptionally talented, everyone is just a pitiful cog in the capitalist machine. If you want to defy the odds and break free from your class, this kind of social acumen is actually more helpful."

"Sigh, it’s true. Think about when I graduated over a decade ago, the job market was so enjoyable. We compared salaries, vacations, and who got headhunted. But look at it now, tsk tsk tsk.

If it weren’t for the insane 996 work culture, the naive teambuilding trips, or the trend of doing just enough to get by, they wouldn’t even understand what the workplace was like before, it was like a dream."

"Isn’t that the truth? I’ve been in the workforce for nearly ten years, and things have changed so much. For example, headhunters, these kids today only know them from novels and TV dramas. In reality, that profession is basically gone, sigh."

"..."

With the second bowl of noodles down, Wang Zihao rubbed his full belly and finally smiled.

But then, as if remembering something, he quickly stood up and said nervously:

"Uncle Yang, it’s almost time for my shift. Sorry, I have to get to work now."

What?

Yang Shu’s puzzled gaze followed Wang Zihao’s figure to the far end of the cafeteria.

There, Wang Zihao put on a chef’s white coat and skillfully began boiling water, arranging plates, and preparing instant noodles.

Incredible!

Yang Shu furiously slapped the table and stood up directly.

After all his contributions, not only did he not receive a scholarship, but he also had to work to support himself?

This is like a huge slap in the face, repeatedly hitting him hard!

But unlike Principal Wang’s nervousness, Guo Yi was rather numb at this point and seemed indifferent.

When you have many problems, you stop feeling the itch.

"Instant noodles, instant noodles, delicious affordable instant noodles here."

"Two-fifty a bowl, you’ll neither lose out nor be deceived, everyone, come and buy!"

Soon, a long line formed in front of his stall.

The viewers in the live stream were deeply touched by this scene.

"To be fair, this kid has a kind heart. He uses braised beef noodles, which retail for two-fifty. If bought in bulk, each pack costs about one-eighty. After subtracting electricity and water costs, he earns just fifty cents per bowl."

"Truly, in this school, selling a bowl of instant noodles for two-fifty is an act of conscience. Selling a hundred bowls would only make fifty yuan, and besides, he still has to study. Earning a few dozen yuan a day is a big deal."

"Sigh, I must say, at least the school has a bit of human empathy, allowing him to set up a stall to sell instant noodles. Regardless of anything else, I give them a thumbs up for that."

"..."

However, despite the viewer’s cautious opinion, reality still slapped him in the face and smilingly told him not to applaud too early in the future.

A loud and brash voice approached from outside the cafeteria and finally exploded in everyone’s ears.

"Wang Zihao, you really have the guts of a bear!"

"I already notified you to sell each pack of noodles for ten yuan, the same as the supermarket’s price. Don’t engage in malicious competition, what’s going on with this?"

"Are you really planning to sell these noodles for two-fifty? Do you not want to do this anymore?"
