Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 33.1

“For me?” Gu Muxi pointed at herself and asked.

“Yes, what would a big guy like me do with flowers? They’re for you,” Yi Feng said with a smile.

Gu Muxi showed a delighted smile, “Okay! Then I’ll reluctantly accept them!”

She took the bouquet of roses and smelled them, “They really smell nice!”

“I’ll take them back and care for them.”

Yi Feng said, “Up to you, but I guess these kinds of roses won’t last long.”

“As long as you take care of them with your heart, they will survive!” Gu Muxi confidently said.

After finishing their sweet soup, they rode back home.

When they arrived downstairs, they happened to run into Wang Tie, who was out for a stroll.

“Brother Feng, Gu Muxi, where did you guys come back from?” Wang Tie approached them.

He suddenly saw the bouquet of roses in Gu Muxi’s arms and instantly showed a look of realization.

“Oh~ I get it, hey, brother Feng, you’re quite something!”

Wang Tie winked at Yi Feng.

Gu Muxi’s cheeks turned red, and she spat, “Wang Tie, what are you thinking? These flowers are for planting.”

Yi Feng chuckled, “Nothing, just went for a stroll at the night market street, grabbed some late-night snacks.”

“That’s good, the date went well then?” Wang Tie walked up to Yi Feng, giving him a thumbs up.

“Not bad,” Yi Feng said.

“Oh heh~” Wang Tie made a meaningful sound.

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at them, “I don’t want to talk to you guys anymore, I’m going to plant the flowers.”

Gu Muxi went home, first taking out an unused vase, cleaning it, then filling it with water and arranging the bouquet of roses beautifully.

“Done.” She patted her hands, sitting at the dining table and staring at the roses in a daze.

She had received flowers from other boys before, but why did the ones from Yi Feng look prettier?

…

The next morning at eight o’clock, Yi Feng and Wang Tie rode their bicycles to a shop at No. 100, Alley 8, Tianhe City.

As Yi Feng entered the alley, he saw Han Ping’an and his sister sitting on the steps in front of the shop from afar.

He couldn’t help but smile; Han Ping’an was really eager, arriving so early.

Yi Feng stopped his bike in front of Han Ping’an, “Ping’an, why are you here so early?”

Han Ping’an stood up, looking a bit awkward, “Feng, brother Feng, good morning, I had nothing else to do, so I thought I’d wait here.”

“Have you been waiting long? What time did you get here?”

“Six o’clock.”

“……”

“Have you had breakfast?”

“We ate, ate, brother Feng, we haven’t finished the snacks you gave us yet.”

Yi Feng rolled his eyes, “How can you have snacks for breakfast? You might not eat, but your sister needs to eat.”

He immediately took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Han Ping’an, “Go buy some breakfast, get some buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk.”

Han Ping’an didn’t take the money, looking down without saying anything.

Yi Feng laughed, “It’s not just for you to eat; buy some for me and Tie as well. We haven’t had breakfast either.”

Only then did Han Ping’an accept the money, nodding, “Yes, brother Feng, I’ll go now.”

After saying that, he ran towards the entrance of the alley, eager to complete Yi Feng’s mission.

Yi Feng shook his head; Han Ping’an was too sensitive and a bit stubborn.

But such people are actually the most suitable for executive positions; they would complete missions as quickly as possible, having strong execution skills.

“Little girl, don’t stay outside in the cold, come in and sit,” Yi Feng said with concern, opening the shop door.

“Mm, thank you, Brother Feng ~” Han Nannan nodded obediently.

Since yesterday, when he bought her a bag of candy and snacks, Han Nannan was no longer afraid of Yi Feng and felt closer to him.

The shop, aside from its four white walls and the bare kitchen at the back, was empty.

The hardware of the shop was okay, but Yi Feng wanted to redo the electrical layout to make it more convenient for the shop’s operation.

Last night, Yi Feng had already designed the shop layout on paper.

This was definitely a design ahead of its time; the shop’s interior and service needed to be integrated to give customers an unparalleled consumption experience.

The shop, being the only offline scenario where customers interact, must be well crafted to increase the success rate of marketing!

“Tie, take this list and help me rent some tools, mainly for wall chiseling,” Yi Feng took out a list from his pocket, which included an electric drill, plumb bob, tape measure, etc.

For a one-time renovation, renting is more cost-effective than buying new.

Wang Tie glanced at the list, nodding, “Okay, I’ll go buy them now.”

“Also, buy a set of kitchen utensils, like pots, pans, ladles, and also some condiments,” Yi Feng instructed, giving Wang Tie the money.

“Got it!”

Wang Tie took the list and the money and left on his bike.

Soon, Han Ping’an and Wang Tie came back.

The four of them didn’t mind the dirt and sat on the ground to have breakfast.

The breakfast was quite rich for 10 yuan, with meat buns at 50 cents, vegetable buns at 30 cents, a basket of Xiaolongbao for 2 yuan, and soy milk at 30 cents. Yi Feng even felt that four people couldn’t finish it.

But Yi Feng underestimated Han Ping’an and his sister’s appetites.

Han Ping’an practically ate two buns in two bites and downed a packet of soy milk; it seemed he hadn’t tasted such delicious food in a long time.

Han Nannan also grabbed a large meat bun and devoured it.

“Ping’an, Nannan, eat slowly, there’s plenty, don’t choke,” Yi Feng was genuinely worried they might choke.

Quickly, the breakfast that was enough for six people was all eaten.

Han Nannan was full, her cheeks a bit more rosy.

“Thank you, Brother Feng ~”

“This is… this is the fullest meal I’ve ever had!” Han Nannan gratefully shouted.

Yi Feng rubbed her head, smiling, “From now on, you’ll eat and live here, there should be no problem with eating.”

“I’ve already asked Tie to buy pots and pans, and later I’ll get two beds for you, you can temporarily stay here.”

“Once the shop’s renovation is somewhat complete, I’ll rent a house for you.”

Han Nannan didn’t shy away from Yi Feng’s hand, smiling sweetly.

Han Ping’an was a bit awkward, standing up, “Brother Feng, just tell me what you need me to do!”

“Later, I’ll teach you how to groove, pay attention and learn, later you’ll do it yourself.”

“We need to lay a lot of lines, and there will be many grooves, it might take ten days to half a month.”

“But don’t rush, take your time, just do it well,” Yi Feng laughed.

Han Ping’an nodded earnestly, “Brother Feng, I’ll learn well!”

Having a job was already a blessing from heaven for Han Ping’an.

So he secretly vowed to do his job well, to work efficiently and with quality. Otherwise, he would feel guilty for not repaying Yi Feng’s kindness.

“Not doing well would be an inadequate way to repay Brother Feng’s kindness.”

“Alright, take a break, and let’s start working,” Yi Feng also stood up to stretch, digesting the food.
