Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 375 - 248: Jiang Yu is Remarkable

"Lao Duan, what’s going on with you?"

He Xiaowei sat back on the sofa opposite Duan Yiming with his legs crossed, playing with the Golden Rattan Wood Bracelet in his hand. Seeing Duan Yiming become so excited after taking a phone call, curiosity got the better of him, and he asked,

"Did something good happen, maybe you got another big project?"

To be honest, he really envied Duan Yiming and Deng Linhui. These two came from families just as well-off as his, yet he was the one who was like a playboy, with no job or career, lazing around like a wandering soul.

He thought that his family was wealthy enough to last a lifetime, so there was no need to work himself to the bone.

But compared to Duan Yiming and Deng Linhui, He Xiaowei’s life seemed a lot duller.

If a person has no goals in life, what’s the difference from a mindless fly crashing around?

"Do you really think pies just fall from the sky? Sitting in a company and waiting for big projects to come to you?"

Duan Yiming gave He Xiaowei a glance, couldn’t help shaking his head, and chuckled,

"It was a call from Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall. Didn’t I help them develop a restaurant private room reservation software before?

Now the Seventh Dining Hall wants to add a new feature to the reservation software; apart from reserving rooms, they want to directly list products for sale.

They just called about that."

He Xiaowei listened and immediately wore a peculiar expression as he looked at him: "Then why are you so happy? I thought you’d struck gold!"

Duan Yiming asked, "Do you know what products they plan to sell?"

He Xiaowei pouted, "How would I know?"

"Boss Xiao Jiang’s handmade Peach Blossom Pastries, not those dyed ones sold in pastry shops. Boss Xiao Jiang first turns fresh peach blossoms into Peach Blossom Sauce, then uses it as filling for the Peach Blossom Pastry. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"

Duan Yiming couldn’t help but take a deep breath and swallow, then continued,

"These Peach Blossom Pastries will be sold as fan perks. I don’t even need to guess; they’ll definitely sell out the moment they’re listed.

If it’s made by Boss Xiao Jiang, how could it not be delicious?"

He couldn’t help but show a proud smile again,

"Oh, by the way, I don’t even need to rush; they just told me over the phone they’ll send me three boxes of pastries!"

"Hey buddy, share the wealth, right?"

He Xiaowei couldn’t help but jump up from the sofa, grinning cheekily,

"Three boxes of Peach Blossom Pastries, I don’t want much, how about we each take half?"

"Alright!"

Duan Yiming squinted at him and let out a light "hmm,"

"If you want half, it’s not impossible, but for that additional functionality on the reservation software, you’ll have to pitch in.

Those three boxes of Peach Blossom Pastries are the ’reward’ from the Seventh Dining Hall!"

"Uh..."

He Xiaowei’s smile instantly froze, then he pouted and said with displeasure,

"If you’re not giving them, then don’t ask me to help modify the software... That’s asking too much of me; I don’t understand software at all!"

"Come on! Are you seriously throwing a tantrum with me now?"

Seeing He Xiaowei get upset, Duan Yiming also helplessly shook his head, waved his hand, and said,

"Don’t think about half, at most I’ll give you one box; I still need to save one for Deng Linhui!"

"Now that’s more like it. We’re good buddies, after all!"

He Xiaowei then laughed, punching Duan Yiming on the shoulder.

"I’m really unlucky to know you, getting only a share after being swindled and still catching a hit..."

Duan Yiming smiled bitterly, rubbing his chest that was slightly hurting from the punch, taking a deep breath, and said with a bit of earnestness,

"Xiao Wei, since you regard me as a good buddy, as a good buddy, I have to say a few words to you. You’re no longer a kid, going on like this every day isn’t a good thing.

Forget about me, just look at Deng Linhui. His family isn’t lesser than yours in any way, but he built something from scratch with his skills, and his company’s value has far surpassed mine now. Just seeing how hard he works puts me to shame!

I’m not saying you’re less than him. Actually, he’s not as adaptable as you, nor as clever. If you really put your heart into it, you’ll definitely do better and go further than Deng Linhui and me!"

Seeing He Xiaowei frown and fall silent, Duan Yiming thought for a moment and added,

"We all have to do something in this world and leave a mark that we once existed. Only then is it truly worth our while."

...

Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall.

After wrapping up lunch, Jiang Yu, as usual, leisurely headed downstairs, planning to have a cup of tea and play some games in one of the private rooms on the first floor to relax a bit.

Just as he finished brewing tea and opened the door to the private room, he found Hua Xiaoling there as well.

"Oh? Boss, what brings you here?"

Seeing Jiang Yu, Hua Xiaoling quickly greeted him with a giggle, saying,

"I just spoke to Boss Duan about adding a ’flash sale’ feature to the restaurant private room reservation software. Otherwise, our ’fan perks’ can’t be put up for sale!"
