Chapter 119 Iron Enough
When Zhang Yunqi crossed the road and walked to the school gate, the Santana just started. He saw Ji Zhong through the glass window, but Ji Zhong did not see him and drove away.

Zhang Yunqi walked towards Ji Ling and called out.

Ji Ling turned around and saw that it was Zhang Yunqi. She smiled and waved, and waited until he came closer before saying, "Xiao Zhang, I watched your class dance team perform "The Goddess of Luo River" last night. The advertisement at the end was very impressive."

Zhang Yunqi always felt that there was something fishy in Ji Ling's words, so he asked with a smile, "What do you mean by impressive? Is this ad good or bad?"

Ji Ling said, "Why bother yourself so much? Just like you, you are ugly but you are ugly in a unique way. Anyway, most of the students in the school will remember your fish noodle shop now."

"You're going around in circles just to hit me."

"Stop joking, okay? Do you really need to criticize someone like you? If someone says Andy Lau is not good-looking, that's a criticism, but isn't saying Pan Changjiang is ugly an objective evaluation?"

"So in your eyes I am on the same level as Pan Changjiang?"

"Hey, could you please not insult Teacher Pan?"

Zhang Yunqi was speechless.

Ji Ling smiled with her eyes narrowed. She stood on tiptoe and ruffled Zhang Yunqi's hair: "Just kidding, our classmate Zhang is pretty good-looking, mature, cute, and considerate. She is much better than those plastic vases."

Are you comforting me? Are you comforting me? Are you comforting me?

Zhang Yunqi was completely convinced by the girl and said, "Have you had breakfast? My fish meal shop is open now. If you haven't had breakfast, go to my fish meal shop."

Ji Ling said, "I've already eaten. Let's go again tomorrow."

Zhang Yunqi nodded and said yes.

Ji Ling added, "By the way, Xiao Zhang, the dance team in your class is pretty good, especially the girl who dances the lead dance. She's really pretty."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "That girl's name is Chu Jian. She is the study committee member of our class. She has very good grades. She sits in front of me, so she can be considered as half of my deskmate."

Ji Ling tilted her head to look at Zhang Yunqi: "When will you introduce him to me?"

Zhang Yunqi was puzzled: "Why do you know her?"

The expression on Ji Ling's face was very matter-of-fact: "I like pretty girls."

Zhang Yunqi found this very awkward, so he said, "Then let's do it this Friday night."

“Why this Friday?”

"My Qifengdu Fish Noodle Shop has opened. I will invite some relatives and friends to have a meal together this Friday to liven things up. I will also invite some classmates to come over and make a table. Chu Jian will probably go. So, classmate Ji Ling, do you have time to show up on Friday to show your support?"

Ji Ling put his hands behind his back and squinted his eyes and said, "You don't want a red envelope, do you? I don't have any money."

"You stingy guy, drinking cold water will get a toothache sooner or later."

"There's no money for the teeth."

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. It's okay if I don't have money, as long as I have you."

Ji Ling suddenly smiled happily. She held Zhang Yunqi's arm and tilted her head: "That's very nice, Tie! This is my best buddy." The two chatted and had already walked to the bottom of the second teaching building.

Zhang Yunqi was in the first classroom, Ji Ling was in the second classroom, Ji Ling waved his hand and said: "I'm leaving, let's talk another day."

Zhang Yunqi nodded and said yes, then watched Ji Ling's brisk and nimble figure disappear at the entrance of the teaching building. He turned and went to Teaching Building 168, then went upstairs to Class .

The classroom door was already open. Chu Jian was reading a book in the classroom. As usual, she was always the first to come to school. When she saw Zhang Yunqi coming in, she put down her English textbook and asked worriedly, "Yunqi, why are you here so early? You didn't even get a few hours of sleep last night."

Zhang Yunqi walked over and sat in his seat: "It's okay, I'm fine, I'll just take a nap when I get tired. Chu Jian, what time did you come?"

Chu Jian said, "Six ten."

After a pause, she continued, "Last night, my stepfather was beaten."

Zhang Yunqi drank some water and said, "Ah! That's true. Who beat you?"

Chu Jian glanced at Zhang Yunqi and said, "He didn't say anything. When I got up this morning, I saw him lying on the sofa groaning. He had many wounds on his body and smelled of stench and blood. He had a handful of money in his hand and said weakly that he won a thousand yuan playing cards and asked me to keep it for my mother."

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "I won so much money, it seems that I was lucky last night. I just don't know who beat me. Did he tell me about it?"

Chu Jian shook his head: "He said he fell accidentally, but that doesn't look like it at all. Those wounds must have been caused by someone beating him."

Zhang Yunqi nodded solemnly, and then analyzed: "It is probably because he won too much money playing cards last night and offended the people in the casino, and they retaliated against him."

Chu Jian thought about it and nodded.

At this time, students had already arrived in twos and threes, preparing for the first morning self-study session. Wang Xiaokai came in with two bags of takeout and said to Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian, "The fish noodle shop that our dance team helped advertise last night opened today, and business is booming."

Zhang Yunqi was interested in this matter and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaokai put the two bowls of fish meal that he had packed for Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei on the desk, sat down on a chair and said, "I just went out to buy breakfast, and when I got to the school gate, I saw that the store opposite had opened. The sign above the gate read 'Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Meal Store', and I remembered that at the school anniversary performance last night, our class dance team held up a billboard of this fish meal store when they left the venue. I was curious and wanted to try the taste, so I ran over to take a look. Wow, there were a lot of students in the fish meal store, and the business was booming. I guess they were all like me, coming to try the advertisement last night."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"

Wang Xiaokai said: "This is really amazing, very authentic, spicy and fresh. I was sweating profusely after eating it. It suits the taste of a Jiangchuan native like me. I have never eaten such delicious noodles near the school. However, the price is a bit unfriendly, one yuan and fifty cents a bowl, which is a bit more expensive than other noodle shops. There are too many people. There is a long line at the glass window of the kitchen. The shop owner makes one bowl and sells one bowl at a time. I waited in line for more than ten minutes to buy fish noodles."

At this point, Wang Xiaokai took two sips of water before continuing, "But to be honest, it's expensive for a reason. The owner of that fish meal shop is quite impressive. He has taken photos with many famous alumni of our school, such as Professor Ma Ziqing of Tsinghua University, Qian Duanguo, President of Wuhan University, and Sun Haiyang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences... Wow, they have all eaten the fish meal he made. The owner even framed the photo and hung it on the wall. Many people were watching. Just based on this sign, I don't know how many students from our school he has attracted."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Kaizi, you are really considerate of the boss."

Wang Xiaokai said, "I don't like to hear that. Let's just stick to the facts. By the way, it was you who caused our dance team to advertise for this fish meal shop, right? Xiao Zhang, what is your relationship with Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Meal Shop? Why are you advertising for it?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "What do you think?"

"It's not your family's business, is it?"

"I've been stupid all my life, but I'm smart now."

　There will be another update tonight, but it will probably be very late. I will have to go out to look for a job in a few days, so I will definitely only be able to update once a day. So now I will stay up late and write more. The two updates I owe will be added by the leader. I will remember them and try to make up for it tomorrow. Thank you.
