Chapter 110: Stark Contrast

"How many hours of sleep do you get every day?"

"About five or six hours."

Xiang Xiaoyuan frowned. "That's not enough sleep. A normal person gets eight hours of sleep, and the convenience store is not busy at night. Close the store early and go home to sleep. You're still growing, you can't suffer like this."

Xu Xiyao smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay."

Xiang Xiaoyuan knew this person. Even if he agreed now, he would still keep the store open late.

She picked up the paper cup that was upside down on the table and picked out some of her favorite Oden ingredients. She said, "I've been to a few convenience stores these past few days to buy their Oden, and I realized that theirs don't taste as good as ours. When our sales get better, we'll see if we can find someone to promote our Oden to improve our business."

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Xu Xiyao had modified the original Oden's recipe. The taste was very good. The radish was cooked so well that it would melt in the mouth.

The main contributor to this improvement was Xu Xiyao. Xiang Xiaoyuan was only responsible for tasting. It was also because of this that Xiang Xiaoyuan planned to give Xu Xiyao an appropriate increase in pay when the Oden's sales went up.

Xu Xiyao nodded. "Okay."

He didn't talk much, but he always did what Xiang Xiaoyuan told him to do. He seemed reliable.

Xiang Xiaoyuan selected a few Oden ingredients, and then added some soup into the bowl. He said to Xu Xiyao, "It's getting late. Close the store soon and go home."

Xu Xiyao nodded.

In order to have clear business records, Xiang Xiaoyuan, as the owner of the convenience store, also had to pay the bill. When she got back to the car, Xiang Xiaoyuan took a bite of the meatballs. She sighed and said, "Xu Xiyao is really a good kid. The Oden recipe was improved by him, and it's much better than other convenience stores. I heard that he started to cook when he was in primary school. Lu Bei, do you want to try it?"

After asking, Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly finished the two skewers of meatballs and handed the paper cup to the back.

Lu Bei took it and smelled the delicious Oden. His stomach started to growl. He had only eaten a few mouthfuls tonight and was hungry. He took out a skewer of meatballs and started to eat.

When Xu Xiyao was mentioned, Xiang Xiaoyuan became more talkative. "Xu Xiyao is such a responsible employee. Every time I tell him to close the door early and go home, he always stays until late. When we were chatting, he said that he only sleeps five or six hours a day but he still comes to work energetic the next day." She sighed. "It's good to be young. They always have so much energy."

Lu Wanggui was focused on driving. When he heard this, he paused and said, "Xu Xiyao? This name sounds familiar."

"We had dinner together that day."

Xiang Xiaoyuan continued to describe him, "That tall, handsome boy who doesn't seem to talk much. He and Lu Bei are classmates. During the parent-teacher conference last time, many parents lamented that Xu Xiyao is a blessing. He is a good boy and has good grades. He gets first place in every exam. I don't know how his brain grew, but why is he so smart?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan now understood why Xu Xiyao, who was so outstanding, did not become the male lead or the supporting actor in the novel. It was because he was straight-A student who was focused on his studies, he would not be involved with any girl at all.

Lu Bei slowed down his eating and listened to the conversation between the two people in front of him.

"He's incomparable!" Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed. "Sometimes, I envy Xu Xiyao's mother. How many good things must she have done in her past life to give birth to such a smart and sensible child?"

Lu Bei: "…"

He felt ridiculed.

He was in stark contrast to Xu Xiyao. Although he did not always come last in every exam, his results were bad enough to make the parents worried.

He knew that his father would not be so kind as to invite him for supper.

Lu Wanggui, who had been driving, spoke up again. "Are his results very good?"

"Yes."

Xiang Xiaoyuan recalled the grades she had seen at the last parent-teacher conference. She had a good memory and could still roughly remember his grades. After reporting Xu Xiyao's grades, she said, "He almost got full marks in all the subjects. I don't know how he got his brain. He's too smart."

Lu Wanggui chuckled. "It does sound good."

After a pause, he added, "With his current grades, as long as he performs as well in the college entrance examination, he should be able to get into my alma mater."

Xiang Xiaoyuan exclaimed, "That's right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. You were also a super scholar when you were in school, right?"

Lu Wanggui replied humbly, "I'm alright."
