The decision to go to Shenzhen was made hastily, but it's not a big problem.

Zhang Liang didn't call Lin back immediately because he was negotiating with Ma Junren when his pager went off.

After he received the freshly signed contract, his heart pounding, he found a public phone and called Lin Ting back.

"Boss, I just finished talking with Ma Junren!" Zhang Liang's voice trembled slightly.

Lin said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. But Brother Liang, let's not talk about this now. I have something else that's very urgent that you need to help me with."

Zhang Liang immediately swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and replied, "Okay, boss, please tell me."

"Book me two plane tickets to Shenzhen on Friday afternoon, and back to Shenyang on Sunday afternoon or evening. It'll be me and Jiang Zong."

When Zhang Liang helped Lin Ting with the transfer of the shop some time ago, he had already become familiar with Fang Deliang, so he could handle the matter of booking plane tickets.

"Okay, boss. If there are no tickets for Friday afternoon, can I book one for you for Saturday morning?" Zhang Liang didn't know if there were any tickets to Shenzhen for Friday afternoon, so to avoid any unexpected situations, he felt it was necessary to ask about the time first.

"Sure, as long as it's not a train ticket." Lin said. "This is a bit urgent, so you can do this first."

“Okay,” Zhang Liang added, “Boss, the contract with Coach Ma is finalized, 920,000. You’ll have to rewrite that check.”

Lin Ting's eyes lit up.

It was actually below her budget.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

"Okay, then come find me outside the window later, and I'll rewrite it."

"it is good."

Lin Ting hung up the phone, turned to Jiang Zong who was eating dry rice, and said, "The contract has been negotiated."

Jiang Zong realized that when she said "rewrite" at the end of the phone call, she meant to rewrite the check. He assumed it was because the price was higher than expected and asked her directly, "Do you have enough money?"

“That’s enough,” Lin Ting said, her eyes shining. “You might be wrong. Brother Liang saved me the cost of a store.”

Jiang Zong: "...?"

Jiang Zong paused for three seconds, then placed a piece of pork rib on Lin Ting's plate: "You're really good at using people."

When he said he wanted to open a milk tea shop, Uncle Nie immediately provided him with a full team, from marketing to finance, all of whom were trusted old employees of the Jiang family.

But the people around Lin Ting were all people she had found one by one from every nook and cranny.

They were previously unemployed nannies, foremen who led their fellow villagers to find work, and veteran workers who were ostracized at their workplaces...

Lin Ting brought them together, and each of them used their strengths to create her own team.

Lin Ting finished the last piece of pork rib and put down her chopsticks. Everyone else had almost finished eating as well. Seeing this, Liang Tianxing went to pay the bill, and the group walked towards the school chatting and laughing.

“I’m not going back yet,” Lin Ting said, tugging at Zheng Miaoying’s sleeve. “I’m going to the shop. Brother Liang is coming to find me later.”

Zheng Miaoying nodded: "Okay, then come back early, and remember to have Brother Liang take you to the school gate."

"No problem, don't worry."

Lin Ting stopped walking, and without turning her head, she knew that Jiang Zong had stopped walking with her.

Thanks to the sports meet, there were more visitors outside the window than usual these past two days, even though it was weekday.

When Lin heard this, Feng Yue hadn't even had time to eat yet.

"Sister Yue, I'll cover for you for a bit, you go and eat."

Lin Ting originally wanted to pack two dishes for Feng Yue, but when she thought that Liang Tianxing would be paying, she knew that he would never let her pay for two dishes, so she gave up on the idea.

Feng Yue smiled and took out the lunchbox, saying, "It's okay, boss. There aren't many people here right now. You can rest. I'll go heat up the food."

It's lunchtime now. It gets dark early in autumn, and there are even fewer customers in the restaurant after dinner.

Feng Yue poured hot water from the thermos and put the lunchbox into the water to heat it up.

"Boss, we're running low on stock. When will Mr. Yang's order arrive?" Feng Yue asked as the food heated up.

"It will take a while longer," Lin heard. "But there aren't many people buying these clothes lately, are there?"

"Indeed, clothes haven't been selling very well lately." Feng Yue was a little worried when she thought about it. "It's getting colder, and our clothes are all summer wear, so they're really hard to sell."

"It's alright, it's only temporary." Lin Ting patted her shoulder to comfort her, then opened the money box.

The money box was full of loose change, about a thousand dollars.

Lin Ting glanced at it and simply put the money down.

"Never mind, I'll go back to my dorm and get some money," she said. "Sister Yue, could you prepare a red envelope for me after dinner?"

"Okay." Feng Yue readily agreed, took out her spoon, and began to eat.

When Lin Ting returned to her dormitory, she opened the door and saw that Guan Dongyue was also in their dormitory.

She and Zheng Miaoying sat at the table, seemingly...studying?

"Listen to this, didn't you have something to do? Why are you back so early?" Su Yuping lay on the bed, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her eyes slightly closed, looking very peaceful.

Lin Ting casually pulled the blanket over her, nodded to Guan Dongyue who was looking over, and then answered Su Yu's question: "I came back to get something."

"Oh." Su Yu yawned after rubbing herself in bed for a moment.

Lin Ting went to his cabinet, took out the box containing money, unlocked it again, and counted out fifty hundred-yuan bills.

She left her backpack on the bed without a bag today, and happened to run into Guan Dongyue on her way there.

She didn't want to flaunt so much money in front of her classmates, so she simply took out a bag that her father had bought for her but that she had never carried before, and stuffed the money inside.

"I'm going out again." Lin Ting waved to them.

“Listen,” Zheng Miaoying called out to Lin Ting, “Do you still have your grammar notes from last semester in your dorm?”

"No, I took it home at the end of last semester." Lin Ting shook her head. "Why? Is it useful?"

Zheng Miaoying said, "Dongyue wants to learn English. My mother is preparing to move recently, and she has packed all her things, so there is no way to find them for a while."

Lin Ting missed many classes last semester, and most of her notes were taken by Zheng Miaoying, who was the most familiar with and had the most comprehensive notes.

Lin asked, "Do you need it urgently? I'm afraid it's not possible today. I'll go home and get it for you tomorrow."

Guan Dongyue felt embarrassed and quickly said, "No rush, no rush, it's just too much trouble for you..."

"It's alright," Lin Ting smiled casually. "I was planning to go home tomorrow anyway, but I have to come back after dinner. You can come and get it then."

Tomorrow is still the sports meet, so Lin Ting doesn't plan to linger at school. She's been going home less often lately, so she wants to take this opportunity to spend more time with her mother.

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Tingchao and the others said goodbye again: "Then I'll go first. Study hard."

Su Yu was half-asleep when she heard this and asked, "Then where are you going?"

Lin Ting: "Earn money from translation."

Su Yu: "..."
