Chapter 1011: Acting with Discretion

That evening, Tang Jianhua and Zeng Hong learned that their daughter was going to their family's restaurant for dinner with her classmates.

Tang Jianhua said to Zeng Hong with a look of satisfaction, "Nannan is quite sensible; she handled this matter very well!"

Zeng Hong, however, had a different view. Of course, she did not deny her daughter's excellence, but she had opinions about her daughter's classmates.

"For a child's birthday, a clean and hygienic restaurant is fine. Why would they choose our restaurant? Is it a place students can afford?"

The couple knew that it was definitely not their daughter Tang Ruixuan who suggested going. That girl would rather no one know anything, so how could she take the initiative to tell others that she was actually the young master of Hua Hongyan Restaurant and even took the initiative to bring her classmate to her own restaurant?

But it's fortunate that she went, otherwise those kids would have been in a mess, especially the one celebrating her birthday.

That's why Tang Jianhua was so impressed with how well his daughter handled the matter.

This way, the classmate's face was saved, and the classmate was treated to a big meal without anyone noticing, even though the favor ultimately fell on the person who treated the classmate.

However, none of the Tang family members minded, neither Tang Jianhua nor Zeng Hong minded, and Tang Ruixuan certainly wouldn't mind, otherwise she wouldn't have done it.

The next morning, the four of them went out for breakfast. Zhou Xiaoyu said she would treat everyone to duck blood soup and Jiming Temple soup dumplings.

"We definitely have to go. I've heard about the duck blood vermicelli soup in Nanjing for a long time, but I don't know which one is authentic. With Xiaoyu here, we don't have to worry." Lin Weiwei was naturally more than happy to go.

The four of them hadn't even left the campus when they ran into Li Wenbo.

"Are you going out?" Li Wenbo's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Ruixuan.

Chen Yue responded readily and even extended an invitation: "Yes, senior, we're planning to go out for soup dumplings in Nanjing. Would you like to come with us?"

It was originally just a polite remark, but unexpectedly, Li Wenbo agreed: "Great! I was just wondering what to have for breakfast! It's my treat today."

"Huh?" Chen Yue was dumbfounded.

Lin Weiwei was particularly happy about Li Wenbo's joining, and she immediately tried to get close to him.

Tang Ruixuan witnessed this entire scene. She shook her head inwardly and pulled Chen Yue along, saying, "Let's go!"

"Oh, oh, oh," Chen Yue finally realized.

She looked at Tang Ruixuan with a puzzled expression and complained softly, "This guy is so impolite! I was just being polite, and he took it seriously?"

"Alright, let's go!" Tang Ruixuan was both annoyed and amused, and pulled Chen Yue along to follow.

At this moment, Li Wenbo also stopped and waited for the two of them. Seeing Tang Ruixuan approach, he said directly, "Tang Ruixuan, are you really not considering joining the student council?"

Tang Ruixuan declined as before: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I have a lot of coursework and I'm already exhausted. I really don't have the energy for anything else."

Seeing her like this, Li Wenbo didn't want to force her.

He then offered a less idealistic suggestion: "By the way, after your midterm exams, the college plans to select a few outstanding freshmen from among you to participate in a university-industry cooperation project. The main purpose is to broaden your horizons and help you understand the current development progress of artificial intelligence in my country and even the world. You can try to apply for it."

Tang Ruixuan nodded: "I will, thank you, senior!"

"I'll give it a shot too." Lin Weiwei was not to be outdone. Those who could get into Jin University were originally top students who liked to compete in junior and senior high school, and Lin Weiwei was no exception.

As the president of the student union, Li Wenbo's reply was quite fair: "Of course you can, everyone has a chance, but ultimately it depends on your overall grades. Good luck!"

Girls have a natural love for snacks like duck blood soup. Although the place Zhou Xiaoyu brought them to was a bit far from the school and located in a small alley, when they arrived, the small shop was packed with customers, so much so that there wasn't even room to squeeze in.

Li Wenbo took the initiative to pay the bill. Zhou Xiaoyu's petite frame was no match for him, and she had to give up, looking aggrieved.

The five of them waited for more than twenty minutes before they finally got an empty seat. They left Lin Weiwei behind to guard the seat while the others went to help carry the bowls.

"Over here!" Lin Weiwei waved loudly, signaling the shopkeeper to come and clean the counter.

"Fa fa fa!" It seemed that Chen Yue had been burned. After hurriedly putting the bowl on the table, she touched her ears with both hands.

"Did you get burned?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Chen Yue looked at her ten fingers. Although they were a little red, there was nothing seriously wrong.

Lin Weiwei asked, "Chen Yue, have you never done any housework at home?"

"How did you know?" Chen Yue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Weiwei had seen everything clearly, so she had the right to speak: "I could tell just by the way you held the bowl. Who holds it like that? Everyone else catches the bottom of the bowl with their fingers, but you just stuck your fingers to the bottom. Who else would get burned but you?"

After explaining, he demonstrated how to hold a bowl: "You should hold it like this: support the bottom of the bowl with your middle, ring, and little fingers, and keep your thumb against the rim. That way you won't get burned. Did you get it?"

"There are so many rules about carrying a bowl, really!" Chen Yue still stubbornly insisted.

However, the delicious duck blood vermicelli soup completely won over the taste buds of the group, except for Li Wenbo, who actually disliked the rather shabby-looking little shop. But out of politeness and because he was the one who wanted to come, he could only hold his nose and persevere.

"Senior, why aren't you eating?" Lin Weiwei urged Li Wenbo when she saw that he hadn't touched the vermicelli soup in front of him much.

"Oh, I went out for a late-night snack with some classmates last night, so I'm not too hungry yet!"

"Oh, that's a pity. If we had known, we would have just ordered four bowls for the five of us, and we could have shared some with you." Lin Weiwei seemed to have good upbringing and knew not to waste food.

Zhou Xiaoyu quietly nudged Lin Weiwei under the table, signaling her to stop talking. Didn't she see Li Wenbo's face had grown long?

Lin Weiwei quickly stuck out her tongue, buried her head in her rice, and stopped talking, because too much talk leads to mistakes.

Tang Ruixuan slowly savored the duck blood vermicelli soup. The taste of this place was indeed quite good, and she liked it. Of course, this was under the premise of normal taste, because she rarely ate spicy food, so she didn't even touch the chili oil that the locals added.

After Tang Ruixuan finished eating, Li Wenbo handed her a napkin at the opportune moment. If the other three girls still didn't understand, they would truly be fools.

The three of them exchanged glances, and the meaning conveyed by their expressions was self-evident.

"Thank you, senior!"

However, Tang Ruixuan did not take the napkin from Li Wenbo. Instead, she took out tissues from her own pocket and distributed them to her three roommates before wiping her own mouth.

Seeing this, Li Wenbo put away the tissue, took out his phone, and asked Tang Ruixuan, "Tang Ruixuan, could you tell me your phone number?"

He actually already had Tang Ruixuan's phone number, but he still wanted Tang Ruixuan to tell him in person.

Tang Ruixuan did not refuse and readily gave Li Wenbo her phone number.

In front of several girls, Li Wenbo solemnly saved the number into his phone.

Then he said, "I will send you a text message as soon as there is any news from the academy."

Tang Ruixuan smiled but didn't say anything.
