Chapter 3 – Merchant Met Crown Prince

When Lu Rong and Yan Gou ran past the fountain, it was spraying water in a musical rhythm.

The school’s fountain was like a student record, only used when graduating; at any other time, it was just an ornament. If it was spraying water with music and lights, it must be welcoming an important person.

　This matter of welcoming a V.I.P, theoretically speaking, had no relation to the students, but for some reason, the way to the cafeteria was blocked. The crowd of onlookers, especially the girls, constantly sighed out, “So handsome!”

　“What’s going on?” Asked Lu Rong

His eyes were fixed on the figure in the middle of the crowd, but the one he asked was Yan Gou beside him.

　Yan Gou, as The Evil Group information scout, took his phone out and browsed his friend circle immediately. He arranged the information he had collected then sent it to Lu Rong.

　Lu Rong skimmed over — “the one in the middle of the crowd is Ji Wenfeng, 16 years old, son of Ji Group’s chairman. He had been overseas receiving an elite education and recently transferred to grade one first class.”

　Photograph attached.

　The man in the photo had soft, black hair, dignified features and deep eyes. His expression gave off a majestic, alienating feeling. Even in an ID photo, Ji Wenfeng didn’t have any shortcomings, despite his cold and lofty air…

Lu Rong: “the school grass [1] is about to change. We should place people by his side to market his photographs to the girls–-wait, good family background, handsome face, why did he come to Chengnan?”

　Yan Gou switched to the school network page with his mobile phone and pointed to a piece of news: <<The chairman of Ji Group visits his alma mater and donates one hundred million to rebuild the library.>>　　

　Lu Rong threw the phone to Yan Gou. “it seems that he has poor grades.”

　If he needed to depend on his father to donate a hundred million to get into Chengnan, this rich second generation only had beauty, not brains.. Becoming the school grass would depend on his natural charm, so it would be prudent to wait on the photography business for now.

　　After he ascertained that he had the whole situation under control, Lu Rong decided: this rich second generation didn’t have any effect on The Evil Team. He pushed aside the disordered crowd and continued to head to the fish cake stall on the third floor.

　　Lu Rong and Yan Gou ran to the third floor and saw that the stall already had a long queue. They looked at each other and resolutely stood on the last row. According to their countless buying experience, there should be some left on their turn.

　　The school’s cafeteria was always denounced, but it was not without merit. In Chengnan High, this merit was fish cakes.

　　The fish used was Changxi yellow-croaker fish; fish sauce made from fresh yellow-croaker fish was combined with flour dough, then fried after seasoning. This melt-in-the-mouth cake with a golden yellow surface, tender fillings and a pleasant fishy smell— cost only four yuan each.

　Lu Rong could cook for himself and had estimated the cafeteria budget.  “Tomatoes were four to five yuan a catty; eggs were three to four yuan a catty; for tomato scrambled eggs, the cook will give us 50 gram at most which costs 3.5 yuan. Contracting the school cafeteria meant earning a huge profit.”

　　But the cafeteria’s black-hearted standard was not used on fish cakes. Yellow croaker fish was 28 yuan a catty; excluding the flour, seasonings, oil and labor fee, just making the fish filling was a loss! Moreover, the process of making this dish was complicated. To ensure the texture, it had to be prepared fresh, which meant that the cook needed to make this dish half an hour before the peak time, it couldn’t be prepared beforehand! He needed to use his morning pickling, making the sauce and preparing the ingredients- this was a massive waste of manpower.

　　In conclusion, if Lu Rong were the cafeteria owner, he would cross this dish off of the menu.

　　It was these alluring fish cakes that shouldn’t exist which caused everyone to rush into the cafeteria like dogs after class.

　　The queue moved slowly. Lu Rong and Yan Gou stared at the students in front with their food tray piercingly.

　　This one took 1 … good.

　　

　　This one took 2 … normal.

　　This one took 7!!! Too despicable!! Abominable! Why did he need to eat 7 fish cakes alone!

　……

　　The queue shifted slowly, there were less people now. The crowd of people in the cafeteria slowly turned into tables full of empty trays, only the fish cakes stall had a persistent lineup, Lu Rong and Yan Gou were the last two.

　　When they were finally about to get it, some noises suddenly came from behind. Lu Rong turned slightly to see the rich second generation arriving at the third floor cafeteria, accompanied by the head teacher!

　　Lu Rong took back his previous word, the coming of this rich second generation did have a large impact on The Evil Team. In an unredeemable cafeteria, if the head teacher wanted to show that Chengnan High’s food was good, he naturally would bring him to the fish cake stall, and the head teacher definitely wouldn’t queue!

When they were on their way here, it was the crowd watching Ji Wenfeng that caused them to arrive one step late. The people who arrived later than them either stayed or else felt that there wouldn’t be any fish cakes remaining for their turn and left early; there weren’t any people behind them.

　　There were only 7 fish cakes left, there were 2 people in front, if they had a conscience and didn’t violate the “each person can only take two fish cakes each turn” custom, then he and Yan Gou could get three!

　　But if the head teacher cut in line, this matter couldn’t be done satisfactorily!

Yan Gou showed a terrified expression when he saw the constantly solemn and serious face of the head teacher, Chu Renliang.

Chu Renliang, his name was sanctimonious, but he was actually inhumane; he took pleasure in persecuting students. He often planted his purplish-red face onto the windows at the back of the class to monitor them in morning self-study sessions.

Yan Gou was a fan of Romance of the Three Kingdom. Every self-study session, he would hide an electronic dictionary in his English book to see various kinds of Romance of the Three Kingdom works, and unfortunately was discovered by Chu Renliang once.

Chu Renliang rebuked him on the spot, he not only confiscated his electronic dictionary, he also pinched his ear and scolded him loudly. His pinch was so hard, Yan Gou’s ear canal was bleeding. He didn’t dare to tell his parents, and in the end, Lu Rong used The Evil Team’s fund to take him to the hospital. There wasn’t any big loss, but any works related to Romance of Three Kingdom in Yan Gou’s electronic dictionary disappeared. Yan Gou was still grieving. From then on, he hated and was afraid of Chu Renliang.

Lu Rong knew he had PTSD when facing Chu Renliang. He let him go in front, then spread his legs shoulder-width apart. “You go first,”

　When Yan Gou saw the boss’s firm and gentle look, he felt the boss’s deep trust in himself, so he nodded his head vigorously, cleared his terrified and frightened expression and resolutely turned to the fish cake stall.

　The person at the front of the queue went satisfied with his tray.

　　He imprudently took 3 fish cakes!!!

　　So black-hearted!!! We had been queueing for half an hour!

　Now there were 4 fish cakes left, there were still three people left including Lu Rong and Yan Gou. As long as the brother[2] in front didn’t take four, they still had hope!

　At his back, he heard the footsteps of Chu Renliang and Ji Wenfeng. Lu Rong stood entrenched in the passageway like an insurmountable mountain, steadily blocking the way.

　　“…Student Ji, this is Chengnan fish cakes I told you just now.” A gust of wind blew by, Chu Renliang cordially led Ji Wenfeng and passed by the sidewalk.

　　Lu Rong, “!”

Each stall hads a sidewalk on both sides; the right one was for queues, the left one to leave with your food. Both passages were separated by an iron railing, but the front was connected.

　He miscalculated. Chu Renliang was unexpectedly this shameless, he actually cut the line using the leaving passage.

　Driven by new grievances piled on an old and a hungry stomach, Lu Rong made a move. He used the iron railing in the middle as support to jump over unrestrainedly, landing steadily, blocked Chu Renliang and Ji Wenfeng way, turning into the unmovable mountain as before with a sturdy and impassable back view.

He turned around, flashed an innocent smile. “Does the teacher also want to eat fish cakes?”

　Chu Renliang didn’t even know Lu Rong, on witnessing him making trouble, pointed to the railing and interrogated, “Is this a place where you can jump?”

　Lu Rong answered honestly and flawlessly, “I had been queuing on the right side for half an hour, the left side had always been empty, I thought it wasn’t for queuing. Seeing that teacher walked from the left side, I realized that I was extremely stupid! I should have walked from the left side since the beginning! I was anxious so I jumped over. I won’t do it anymore.”

　　After talking, he turned back, standing like nothing happened, leaving them the back of his head.

Chu Renliang was accustomed to abusing power inside the school, what was it for him to accompany important guests to cut in line? These students should yield, wasn’t it natural to respect the teacher!

But Lu Rong didn’t accuse him for cutting the line, he directly jumped over, blocked his way—you went from the left. Good, I learned from you, after all, I just respect the teacher!

Chu Renliang was angry to the extent that his face turned dark red, but he couldn’t say anything. If he pushed Lu Rong aside now, wasn’t it showing his lack in character clearly?!

When Chu Renliang couldn’t decide to walk or stay, a deep voice came from the youth beside him. “Let’s go see other stalls.”

After saying this, Ji Wenfeng turned around and went.

The lunch time had passed, other stalls didn’t have any people, just some workers left standing and chatting.

　“Okay, okay…” Chu Renliang accompanied Ji Wenfeng backing away, ferociously glaring at blocking-the-stall-with-his-hips-slanted Lu Rong.

Ji Group had just donated one hundred million to renovate the library, it was Chengnan High’s God of Wealth. The heir of Ji Group transferred here, Chairman Ji told others not to treat him differently on the surface, but who would dare? For the heir’s first day at school, he was ordered by the school director to accompany him in looking around, he must serve the heir well.

In the end, this little brat from who knew where snatched the heir’s fish cakes! Even the staff cafeteria didn’t have this delicious fish cake!

If the heir told his father at home that Chengnan’s food was very bad, what would they do?!

　He will remember this debt!

On the left passage, while Lu Rong forced Chu Renliang and Ji Wenfeng back away; the student in front had also finished. The next one was Yan Gou. They looked at each other, both glad as if seeing the light of dawn after great storms.

The people in front had gone.

Yan Gou went up, took out his phone, on his phone there were three big words: I want it all.

　　

　The worker’s hand was faster than his, closing the stall window with a “pa”. “Sold out.”

Lu Rong, Yan Gou, “…”

That brother swaggered in front of them, there were four fish cakes on his tray!

　Today, Chengnan’s Big Bro, Lu Rong, who still didn’t get fish cakes even after queuing for half an hour, slighted the head teacher, slighted the newcomer heir.

　　This is The Evil Team’s first time failing grievously.

[1] school grass: the most handsome boy at school

[2] brother didn’t mean a real brother. It is a way to call other people they don’t know.
