Chapter 432 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 9
Zhao Qian, unaware that President Pei's belief in science had wavered, quickly handed over the documents.
Pei Lin took the document, glanced at it, and then quickly signed it, saying, "I'm planning to invest in university cafeterias. Have someone visit a few more schools and treat it as a charity project."
"As long as the food in the cafeteria is cheap, tastes good, has generous portions, and is nutritious, that's enough."
Zhao Qian: ???
Investing in university cafeterias for charity?
There shouldn't be many college students who can't afford to eat these days, right?
Moreover, their company has a scholarship program.
Seeing his confusion, Pei Lin explained, "Eating is important. Only by eating well and being full can you be healthy and have the energy to study properly."
“Even if a poor student receives a scholarship, he/she may not spend too much on food. There are so many other things that require money, and many people will choose to save on food. Over time, this may damage their health.”
"Moreover, some students may not meet the criteria for receiving financial aid, but for various reasons they are not financially well-off."
"If I were to encounter a series of unexpected situations like getting injured and needing to go to the hospital, hitting someone and having to pay compensation, something suddenly breaking and needing to be replaced, losing money, or being scammed, I probably wouldn't have money for food..."
Pei Lin paused for a moment, then continued, "I've been thinking, let's make sure the rice in the cafeteria is free, and also provide a free soup with meat."
Zhao Qian: ...Are you really worried that someone will starve to death?
And then a series of unexpected events occurred? Who would be so unlucky...?
Oh! You poor thing!
Assistant Zhao got it!
Therefore, we should first investigate this university and get the investment in the cafeteria going as soon as possible.
But isn't President Pei a little too concerned about that unlucky little guy?
She was just a girl I met by chance, and we've only known each other for two days.
Although the girl did look unlucky and pitiful, President Pei was neither a person with excessive sympathy nor someone with a lot of free time.
Even if you want to help her, all you need to do is give the order, and someone in charge of charity will take care of it.
But he was so worried and meticulous, as if he was afraid that if he had overlooked something, the little girl would starve to death.
If the girl hadn't been so thin and pale, and not particularly attractive, he would have suspected that President Pei had been lusting after her.
At this moment, Pei Lin suddenly said, "By the way! When you have free time in the future, take more photos for me."
Zhao Qian asked very professionally, "What is it for?"
Different types of photos will naturally have different requirements.
"It doesn't need to be too formal. You can vary the style a bit. Just make sure the photos look good and you can share them with your friends."
When he sent photos to Yun Qing earlier, he found that he only had a dozen or so solo photos in total, and he might get tired of looking at them after a couple of days.
He's been praised for being incredibly generous, so naturally he can't be too stingy and should prepare more.
Zhao Qian: Hmm... Hmm? You took these specifically for your friends to enjoy?
What kind of friend is this? How could they make President Pei change his style so much, becoming like a peacock spreading its tail feathers?
He couldn't help but glance at the school in front of him, his eyebrows twitching. No... could it be? That poor little guy... cough, that girl shouldn't have that much charm, right?
For a moment, Zhao Qian didn't know whether to question life or President Pei's judgment.
Therefore, he chose to doubt the authenticity of the matter.
He's definitely overthinking it!
?
When Yun Qing returned to her dormitory, she passed by the next dormitory and smelled a strong aroma of instant noodles, causing her to pause in her tracks.
It smells so good!
She never gets a seasoning packet when she buys instant noodles, so she has never tasted the authentic flavor of instant noodles.
I'm so jealous!
Her face fell, her eyes dark and gloomy, the kind of look that makes you want to avoid her.
Just then, Lin Ranran came out to answer a call. Seeing her, she exclaimed, "Yun Qing, you're back? Come on, I saved a little cake for you!"
Yun Qing's eyes lit up instantly, her gloom vanished, and she became incredibly lively. "Coming, coming!"
She glanced down at the bag of snacks in her arms, then proudly raised her chin and ran back to her dorm.
I'm not jealous at all! I have lots of delicious food!
In the dormitory, Yun Qing happily ate a sweet little cake while sharing snacks with Lin Ranran and Wen Qi.
Wen Qi couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy so many snacks? Did you strike it rich?"
Yun Qing pushed up her glasses and sighed, "Nothing but bad luck, nothing but fortune."
“I almost choked to death this morning, but a kind person saved me and took me to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said there was nothing wrong, and when he brought me back, he bought me some snacks.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Qi and Lin Ranran exchanged bewildered glances. What kind of kind person was this? Wasn't he being a little too enthusiastic?
It's already quite commendable that they saved someone and took them to the hospital for a check-up, but they even bought them snacks?
Perhaps they have ulterior motives.
Lin Ranran asked worriedly, "Who saved you?"
Wen Qi pressed on, "Male or female? Old or young? Looks sleazy..."
Thinking that she had saved Yun Qing after all, and that her words were rather impolite, she changed her tone and asked, "Do you look like a good person?"
Yun Qing said firmly, "Mr. Pei is definitely a good person, and he's super handsome!"
Lin Ranran and Wen Qi were even more worried. How could it be such a coincidence that they met such a kind and handsome man who was also overly enthusiastic? Could he be someone who was just trying to deceive an innocent girl?
Lin Ranran secretly reminded her, "Yun Qing, these snacks don't seem cheap."
Yun Qing nodded with a troubled expression. "It is a bit expensive, but Mr. Pei said that one should not refuse a gift from an elder."
While shopping, Pei Lin kept putting things into the shopping cart, and she kept swallowing her saliva as she picked them out. In the end, she still bought a big bag.
Wen Qi couldn't help but ask, "An elder? Is he very old?"
Yun Qing shook her head, "I'm not old, but he said being a few years older than me is still considered old."
"Do you believe everything he says? He's clearly talking nonsense! You're so naive, you don't know how to refuse people, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Yun Qing bit her cake fork and whispered, "He meant well, and he's my savior. We should still be good friends. If we're too distant, it'll be a downer, won't it?"
"Besides, Mr. Pei is really a good person, and I have nothing for him to take advantage of!"
“I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to take on an extra job to earn money to buy him gifts and repay his kindness.”
Lin Ranran & Wen Qi: ...Oh no, the naive girl has taken the bait!
Wen Qi silently took out her phone and searched for short videos.
After finding the video she wanted, she turned the volume up to the maximum and said loudly to Lin Ranran, "Ranran, these days scammers are coming up with all sorts of new tricks, making it impossible to guard against them. Look, this college student has been tricked into going to get kidney surgery!"
Lin Ranran chimed in, "Really? That's terrifying!"
After the two finished speaking, they looked to see Yun Qing's reaction, only to see Yun Qing stand up with a "whoosh" while holding a bucket of instant noodles.
Wen Qi quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Yun Qing handed the instant noodles to her, her eyes welling up with tears of excitement. "Look! Two seasoning packets! Two packets!"
"I've made something of myself! I can now save some of the seasoning packets after I've finished the first one!"
"Is this what they mean by surviving a great calamity and being blessed with good fortune?"
She can finally eat normal instant noodles again, and even if she chokes for a while, it won't affect her good mood.
Unfortunately, her throat was still a little sore, and the instant noodles weren't spicy, though she actually wanted them to be spicy.
Lin Ranran & Wen Qi: ...Is it really necessary?
But considering Yun Qing's luck, it seems that it really is true.
