93 I Have To Continue Open Shops Even I Attend University

Luo Feng did not know what kind of custom Oxford had in the past for new students, but he was certain that no professor had treated them to a meal!

Ai Zhaojiang said to Tingya as if she was coaxing a child, “What do you like to eat?”

They were already so close on their first meeting. For some reason, Ai Tingya hid behind Luo Feng and tightened her grip on him.

Luo Feng sensed Ai Tingya’s fear and took a step forward to block Professor Jing and Ai Zhaojiang’s gazes. “Thank you, Professor, but we still have a lot of things to do since we just arrived. We have to let you down. I’m sorry.”

“Hahaha.” Professor Jing laughed dryly and felt that it was too abrupt. “There’s indeed not enough time. Let’s talk about it next time when you’re free.”

“Thank you, Professor. Goodbye, Professor.” Luo Feng held Ai Tingya’s hand and the two of them ran away.

Tingya turned around as she ran and realized that Ai Zhaojiang’s eyes were glistening with tears.

Looking at the two of them running away, Professor Jing said helplessly, “Why didn’t you tell her directly? Look at us now. They will think we’re bad people.”

He couldn’t be bothered to complain. Ai Zhaojiang really looked like he was about to abduct children just now. No wonder Tingya was afraid.

Ai Zhaojiang wiped her eyes and choked. “I’m afraid— I’m afraid she’ll blame me and ask me why I didn’t look for her. But I really can’t control myself.”

Ai Zhaojiang had been working hard to create an amiable first impression of himself before they met. He would slowly get closer to her in the future.

However, the words that he had thought of were completely forgotten the moment they met. He wished he could tell Ai Tingya immediately that he was her biological grandfather.

He flinched again when he saw Ai Tingya’s face.

“If I hadn’t been too domineering back then, Tingya’s father wouldn’t have left,” Ai Zhaojiang said sadly. “I’m the cause of Tingya being an orphan for 18 years.”

Ai Zhaojiang had been regretting it all the time throughout these years. He did not have a close relative by his side in his later years. He guarded the osmanthus tree in the courtyard every day. The once high-spirited philosophy professor only had boundless desolation in his later years.

Professor Jing felt very upset when he saw his old friend sad.

Even though Ai Zhaojiang had retired many years ago, his legend remained in the school. His strict teaching style and rigorous teaching philosophy had always been discussed by the students and pa.s.sed down from generation to generation.

Especially Ai Zhaojiang’s unyielding att.i.tude of slamming the table with the school leader for the sake of difficult students. He was a tough nut to crack, one tough cookie. Later on, the leader had a headache just hearing him knock on the door.

The once fearless Ai Zhaojiang had also hunched her back and bent her back. She knew how to secretly touch and wipe her tears.

He understood this feeling of homesickness. “Old Ai, don’t be sad. There’s still a chance next time.”

Ai Zhaojiang covered her eyes and sobbed. She said aggrievedly, “Luo Feng ruined my first dinner with my granddaughter.”

Professor Jing: “…”

This was a little unfair. When Professor Jing heard this, he felt sorry for Luo Feng. Luo Feng should have the reaction of a normal boyfriend thinking of how Ai Zhaojiang had frightened Ai Tingya just now.

“I advise you to find an opportunity to talk things out sooner,” Professor Jing advised. “I don’t think Ai Tingya is an unreasonable child. She should be able to understand you.”

Ai Zhaojiang didn’t answer, just stared in the direction where the two of them had left.

…

Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya and ran far away. He only stopped when he could no longer see the two professors.

Ai Tingya panted as she supported herself with the cart. She felt suffocated. “Luo Feng, why do I feel that Professor Ai is strange? He seems to have something to tell me.”

The environment she grew up in was destined to make her more sensitive than others.

Ai Tingya felt that Ai Zhaojiang didn’t have any ill intentions. He even seemed to be suppressing something. Especially his sad expression in the end, Ai Tingya actually felt sad too.

Luo Feng pinched Ai Tingya’s red face and said, “Maybe you’re too likable.”

He could also sense Ai Zhaojiang’s emotions, and he felt that he was a little dissatisfied with him.

Luo Feng felt that this meeting was a little strange.

However, the two of them quickly forgot about this.

This was because they had a busier vision— To expand their territory!

The school gave the new students three days to familiarize themselves with the campus and surrounding environment. Luo Feng looked at the students coming and going every day as if he was looking at customers standing in a row.

The target audience of milk tea was students after all. The entire school contained a huge group of students who were potential customers!

The two of them were busy partic.i.p.ating in the school’s event while looking for a suitable address to open a shop around the school. Oxford was their first stop to make a name for their brand!

However, things didn’t go as planned. Oxford did not technically have a school gate, so there were no shops. There was a business district that students liked to go to not far from the school.

The shops operating there were mostly targeted at students. The rent of a place that could guarantee human traffic was very expensive, and no one would easily give it up.

Luo Feng and Ai Tingya made two or three trips to ask their local cla.s.smates, but they could not find a suitable one.

Luo Feng had no scruples about spending money after leaving his parents. He was a multi-millionaire, but he actually had no place to spend money. He was unfamiliar with the place and did not know who to give money to.

On this day, the two of them, who had just finished visiting the library, walked on the boulevard.

Ai Tingya lost hope after running around for a few days. “Why don’t we look to a further place? The rent might not be any cheaper but it definitely won’t be so difficult to find.”

Luo Feng had the same thought. “Let’s go to another business district and try our luck since we’re free in the afternoon.”

Luo Feng’s phone suddenly rang just as the two of them were discussing where to look.

“h.e.l.lo, who are you looking for?”

“Ah… yes, I was there yesterday. Yes, yes, that student.”

“What? Want me to go over now? Alright, alright, I’ll come over immediately.”

After hanging up, Luo Feng said happily, “Let’s go, Tingya. The landlord from the shop I saw last time called.”

“Which landlord?” Ai Tingya had visited many landlords in the past two days, but she couldn’t remember which one.

Luo Feng said, “The one who was in a hurry last time. He didn’t even have time to leave a phone number.”

Ai Tingya remembered him with that said. She remembered that the landlord had a bad temper and was a heavy drinker. His eyes were red from drinking in broad daylight, and she could smell the alcohol on him from two meters away.

The landlord did not look very reliable, so that shop was the one Luo Feng they all did not have much hope of.

“He’s willing to rent it to us?” Ai Tingya asked suspiciously.

“Yes, he asked us to bring our identification doc.u.ments over to sign the contract.” Luo Feng touched his pocket and confirmed that he had his student ID with him.

“Why the sudden change in heart?” Ai Tingya said. “We’ve only exchanged about five sentences!”
