School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 279 - 281: People-Friendly Policies

Chapter 279: Chapter 281: People-Friendly Policies

Zhang Dagou’s lips curled up in a sly smile as he chuckled and said, “Alright, you don’t need to understand this. Just hurry up and order.”

Zhang Feng immediately started to order. He was a bit uncomfortable, since his wallet was barely full, holding only a few hundred RMB. If he spent that money, it would mean he might have to go hungry for a month. And as someone who cares about face, Zhang Feng definitely couldn’t ask Xiao Han and the others for money. That was a matter of pride, and a necessary part of being a man.

After selecting a few dishes, Zhang Feng quickly handed the menu to Xiao Han, “You order, I don’t understand these dishes.”

Xiao Han didn’t hesitate, waved his hand grandly, and ordered several major dishes. All the waiters here recognized Xiao Han, so ordering was quick. Yang Lu, not far away, watched Xiao Han shyly. She was in a black suit, the restaurant’s uniform, and Yang Lu had a great figure, tall and busty, with long legs that the suit accentuated, highlighting her slender waist beautifully.

“Xiao Han, that chick is not bad, she keeps staring at you!” Liu Bin nudged Xiao Han’s arm eagerly.

“Who?” Xiao Han turned his head and saw it was Yang Lu. He smiled and said, “Oh, she’s in charge of this restaurant.”

“You know her?” Liu Bin asked.

“I’ve worked part-time here for a few days, of course I know her.” Xiao Han smiled and waved to Yang Lu.

With a smile, Yang Lu came over and said, “Xiao Han, you’re eating with classmates?”

“Yes,” nodded Xiao Han, “Sister Yang, you have to give us a discount.”

“No problem,” Yang Lu nodded, “Since it’s you guys, I’ll definitely give you the best discount. How about the fifty percent discount that we gave during National Day?”

“That’s great.” Upon hearing this, Xiao Han immediately brightened up.

Smiling, Yang Lu left the table, reminding them, “Enjoy your meal!”

“This chick is really beautiful,” Zhang Dagou quickly said, “Nice figure, cute face, good skin, big breasts, and a perky butt. Tsk tsk, such a woman must be a real treat.”

“Do you even need to say it?” Liu Bin wiped the corner of his mouth, “I’m practically drooling here.”

The men kept staring at Yang Lu’s retreating figure, but Xiao Han said nothing, just smiling. Indeed, Yang Lu’s figure was remarkable. That night, Xiao Han had practically savored every inch of this woman and discovered plenty of new positions. The bone-deep satisfaction nearly made him succumb to the comfort of her tenderness.

By now, the waiter had already served the dishes.

“The dishes came out pretty fast,” Liu Bin remarked in surprise.

“Of course!” Xiao Han nodded, “There are penalties for delays.”

“That’s a harsh policy,” Liu Bin commented.

The dishes at Hanmen Restaurant were indeed quite good, crafted by chefs who had been poached from other places. Although they weren’t as famous as the chefs at Hanmen Catering Branch No. 2, the chefs here were definitely not bad, and the taste was absolutely in line with the palates of people from Z Province, appealing in appearance, scent, and flavor.

“It tastes good, hurry up and try it!” Zhang Dagou exclaimed eagerly.

“Don’t grab,” Liu Bin quickly shouted.

Zhang Dagou had always been one to gobble down food. Among the four roommates, he ate the fastest. Every meal, he would be the first to finish. Even when dining out, Zhang Dagou’s eating speed was unmatched. The best dishes would often be devoured by him alone. Afraid of being left out, Liu Bin hurried to join the competition.

Xiao Han and Zhang Feng continued to eat calmly at the side, without any rush.

The four men ate seven dishes in total, six of them meaty and one a vegetable dish. Zhang Feng was mentally prepared to spend over three hundred, but the bill turned out to be only a few tens of RMB, which baffled him.

“It… it can’t be this cheap, right?” Zhang Feng was astounded.

The cashier smiled and said, “Sir, the original price was three hundred seventy RMB. After the discount, it’s one hundred eighty-five RMB. With a one hundred RMB cash voucher, it comes down to eighty-five RMB.”

“Is it really this cheap?” Zhang Feng was incredulous.

Indeed, after eating seven dishes including braised chicken, braised fish, and braised pork – a table initially worth three hundred seventy RMB – they had spent only eighty-five RMB, which certainly gave Zhang Feng a little shock.

“Hehe, let’s go,” Xiao Han patted his shoulder and then said, “This guy can’t get a bite to eat anywhere else. You can only find this at Hanmen Restaurant. Got it?”

“It really is cheap,” Zhang Feng said with a covert smile, “If it were me, I’d also eat here. Who would go to Yujian Restaurant? There, a table like this would probably cost at least four or five hundred without drinks. If you add some alcohol or beverages, it could easily go up to seven or eight hundred.”

“Exactly!” Liu Bin nodded and said, “Last time some high school classmates came, I took them to Yujian Restaurant for a meal, damn, it cost over six hundred. It’s really freaking expensive. So, ever since then, I’ve never set foot in that restaurant again.”

“Hmm,” Zhang Feng nodded.

They were quite satisfied with the meal they had this time. Most importantly, it was affordable. Zhang Dagou alone polished off nearly a pound of rice. They managed to finish all seven dishes, and the credit naturally went to Zhang Dagou.

By the time they returned to their dormitory, it was already past three in the afternoon.

After National Day, there was a minor heatwave. The weather turned very hot, and the peak temperature was around three in the afternoon. Xiao Han felt somewhat hot.

“Xiao Han, you’ve been selected for the college evening party, are you planning to continue playing the piano?” Liu Bin asked.

“Still considering it!” Xiao Han replied.

“Oh.” Liu Bin lay on his bed, eyes closed, well-fed and content, which made it the perfect time to sleep. Today was the last day of the National Day holiday, and it was back to classes tomorrow. Time to rest for today. Zhang Dagou had already started to snore in bursts. Liu Bin soon fell asleep as well, the temperature of the air conditioning in the room was quite low. The guys didn’t care about the electricity bill, one air conditioner didn’t consume much power, a little over two hundred RMB for a month’s electricity wasn’t much. When divided among four people, it was only a few dozen each, but most of the time, Xiao Han would sneak off to pay it by himself.

Zhang Feng and Xiao Han were very close.

“Xiao Han, thank you for today,” Zhang Feng said seriously, looking at Xiao Han.

“No worries!” Xiao Han shook his head and said, “This is what I should do.”

“Good brother,” Zhang Feng patted Xiao Han’s shoulder and said, “If you ever need help, just ask me. I would scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames to help you.”

“Okay,” Xiao Han nodded.

Zhang Feng was a real man, and you could tell from his character. Xiao Han hadn’t expected that such a gesture would make Zhang Feng feel so grateful and open-hearted towards him. In fact, Xiao Han’s thoughts were simple; the four in the dorm were like brothers. He didn’t want to see anyone being bullied.

The college’s freshmen welcoming party was a grand affair, and most importantly, this time it was said that staff from the Provincial Department of Propaganda would attend to scout for talent. Good performances might be selected and recommended to partake in the Provincial TV Station’s New Year’s Gala. This was something many people dreamed of; who wouldn’t want their talents to be recognized, who wouldn’t want their abilities to be showcased on the big screen?

Of course, that was not Xiao Han’s goal. He only hoped to make it into the top three at the college evening party. Because he needed to obtain Lan Yudie’s forgiveness. These past few days, Lan Yudie seemed to have vanished from the world. She was nowhere to be seen during the entire National Day holiday. Since coming back from Junru Hotel, after the last class before National Day, she disappeared, completely gone as if she had vanished.

However, Xiao Han hadn’t given up on his practice. He had already decided on his performance and had created some content for it. Of course, the main element would be the Guzheng. He also included some elements evocative of ancient elegance, hoping to awaken the students’ appreciation for traditional culture.

That afternoon at five, Xiao Han went to the Guzheng Music Store to practice his piece.

On the Guzheng, Xiao Han had reached the stage where he could play blindfolded. Moreover, he could infuse his emotions into the instrument, making each piece full of emotional color. If a piece didn’t contain emotion, it was just that—a piece, not truly a melody to be listened to.

High Mountains Flowing Water.

The piece itself wasn’t complicated, many could play it. But why was Bo Ya’s play so moving? Why was there a classic story of him breaking his Guzheng? For a piece to endure through the ages, it had to be played with its inherent charm, which required infusing it with one’s emotions. This was the insight and summary Xiao Han had arrived at after days of playing the instrument.

“Xiao Han, you’ve made impressive progress on the Guzheng,” the Guzheng teacher smiled and said, “Keep it up, and you could definitely become an outstanding master of the Guzheng.”

“You flatter me, teacher,” Xiao Han smiled faintly and said, “It is just a hobby of mine. It won’t become my profession.”

“That’s a pity!” sighed the Guzheng teacher, “It would be a great loss if you didn’t pursue this as a career.”

“I’ll try to do my best,” Xiao Han said earnestly.

“Hmm!” the Guzheng teacher nodded, “What’s truly valuable is being able to do well for oneself.”

The Guzheng teacher also offered strategy and advice for Xiao Han’s performance at the college evening party, including some of the etiquette and formalities of taking the stage. She even personally selected a set of Hanfu for Xiao Han. The key to playing the Guzheng was matching the attire, to quickly draw people into your world, to capture their heartstrings in the shortest amount of time.
