Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 286

The doctor was clearly taken aback by Lin Xiang’s immediate request for expulsion, and tried to calm her down, "This student, I know you are upset about Ge Yuanyi’s injury, and we can understand. However, this matter hasn’t escalated to the level of expulsion."

"You are a university student too and know how hard it is to get into college. Many people have put their efforts into this. How about you make a different request?"

"Then I request to have her living separately from Ge Yuanyi. Specifically, she should leave the current dormitory. If she could change her major or class, that would be even better."

The doctor pretended not to hear Lin Xiang’s last remark and gently nodded, "Having them live separately is a reasonable request. Once Ge Yuanyi is discharged, I will notify her to choose a dormitory she prefers."

Lin Xiang shook her head, "Teacher, I’m afraid you misunderstood me. I meant to ask that the student who bullied Yuanyi should move out, not Yuanyi."

From the earlier conversation with Ge Yuanyi, it was clear that aside from the jealous classmate who acted out, the other roommates got along well with Ge Yuanyi. At least during her hospitalization, they took turns bringing her food and accompanying her.

Finding a few roommates who get along isn’t easy, and naturally, Lin Xiang wouldn’t want Ge Yuanyi to adjust to a new environment.

Doctor: "Alright, I’ll arrange it, and quickly have them moved out of the dormitory."

Actually, Lin Xiang’s request wasn’t much, but the doctor feared letting Lin Xiang make more demands.

She was making excessive demands!

After exiting the doctor’s office, Lin Xiang met Cheng Jinyun standing downstairs, and they left the hospital together.

"Is Ge Yuanyi okay?" Cheng Jinyun asked.

Lin Xiang looked worried, "It’s not a major issue, but I’m troubled, wondering whether to inform Aunt Ge about this."

Although she promised to handle it well in the ward, Lin Xiang worried that keeping such a serious matter hidden from Aunt Ge might not be good.

Seeing her troubled look, Cheng Jinyun asked: "If it were you, would you want Mom to know about your injury and hospitalization?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xiang replied without hesitation. "Once she knows, she’ll just worry without being able to do anything, adding another person’s anxiety."

"Comrade Ge Yuanyi thinks the same," Cheng Jinyun said. "Her injury isn’t severe, there’s no need to inform Aunt Ge. If there’s a next time..."

"There won’t be a next time!"

As they spoke, they already reached the gate of Beijing Medical College.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Cheng’s driver was still waiting there, and Lin Xiang and Cheng Jinyun got in the car, returning home before ten.

Mrs. Lin was already asleep, but a lamp was left in the main room, avoiding entering in the dark."

Yet their door-opening sounds were loud, waking Mrs. Lin.

She yawned, and asked Lin Xiang through the bedroom door, "Why are you back so late?"

"Did you go to the Medical College to see Yuanyi? Why didn’t she come this week?"

Lin Xiang said, "I went. Her major has a preliminary exam next week, the marks are quite important, so Yuanyi is staying in the dorm to study this week. She asked me to tell you she’ll come after the exam is over next week."

"Alright, as long as there’s no problem. It’s late, you guys should sleep, isn’t tomorrow’s opening day?"

Lin Xiang’s bedroom was on the second floor. After saying goodnight to Cheng Jinyun, she went upstairs."

Before sleeping, she specially set an alarm clock, afraid of oversleeping the next morning."

The next day, as dawn broke, Lin Xiang was already up."

She still needed to rush to the market for pork."

Although Cheng Jinyun gave her plenty of coupons, the supply of pork was limited, and Lin Xiang needed a considerable amount, she had to rely on a rush."

After washing up and dressing downstairs, Cheng Jinyun was already waiting in the main room."

Seeing Lin Xiang coming down, he slowly stood up, "Going to buy meat at the market now? I’ll accompany you."

Lin Xiang declined Cheng Jinyun’s offer, "No need, I’ll go alone quickly and come back. You stay home and later go to the restaurant with Mom."

Cheng Jinyun thought a moment and said to Lin Xiang: "How much meat is needed, I’ll go buy it. You can accompany Mom to the restaurant; there are many things I don’t quite understand."

"The sisters from the family area..."

"I’ll return to the troops after buying the meat, it won’t delay." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Just as Cheng Jinyun left, Mrs. Lin also got up.

Today was the restaurant’s opening day, with a lot to do, so Mrs. Lin wasn’t sleepy."

The mother and daughter carried an electric fan and headed to the restaurant at East Gate.

The preliminary preparation work was almost done."

Since signs and plaques weren’t trendy now, Lin Xiang specially found two pieces of wood, rolled some paint over them, and made two blackboards, one big and one small."

The first blackboard was prepared to list the dishes supplied that day and their corresponding prices, enabling anyone entering to clearly find what they want to eat at a glance."

The second blackboard had the restaurant’s name."

"Xingfu Restaurant? This... little girl, it’s a good name." Mrs. Lin praised endlessly.

Lin Xiang tossed the remaining half piece of chalk into a box, clapped the dust off her hands, "Isn’t it? Everyone who comes here to eat will feel happy."

Though the name was straightforward, its meaning was good, and it was easy to pronounce."

Indeed, naming something too upscale would clash with this era."

The operating model of Xingfu Restaurant was somewhat like the previous snack stall at the construction site gate, but the dishes were much more."

On the first day of opening and since it was a weekend, Lin Xiang tentatively planned ten dishes: four with meat and six vegetarian."

The meat dishes were Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork, Lotus Root Roasted Meat, Kung Pao Chicken, and the big dish every day, Chilli Blood Stew."

The vegetarian dishes included Stir-fried Green Beans, Fish-Fragrant Eggplant, Mapo Tofu, Hand-torn Cabbage, Stir-fried Potato Strips, and Spicy Lotus Root Slices."

Today’s cooking was mainly handled by Lin Xiang, and as for future daily dishes, it would depend on what the helpers’ wives brought by Cheng Jinyun were good at."

It wasn’t yet eight thirty, Lin Xiang and Mrs. Lin began preparing vegetables, and when it was time, they would directly fry them."

Soon, Cheng Jinyun arrived with four wives."

Lin Xiang initially only planned to find three helpers, but since Cheng Jinyun brought four people, she wouldn’t embarrass him in front of everyone."

She assigned Mrs. Lin the task of preparing vegetables, while Lin Xiang began training the wives."

"Before coming here, I believe my brother already told you about my requirements."

"He did, he did! Thirty bucks of salary each month!" The oldest wife immediately responded."

Thirty bucks might not appeal to Beijing’s natives, but it’s a significant income for them originally from rural areas without work."
