Chapter 60: The School Beauty’s Small Business (2/2)

Aunt Feng was clumsily grilling sausages a hundred meters outside the gate of No. 4 Middle School.

In those times, with so many people laid off, the school gate became a hub for small vendors. It was a paradise for students, but a challenge for Aunt Feng. She was not only struggling to master the art of grilling sausages properly but also too shy to call out for customers.

Watching other vendors doing brisk business, she became anxious. Distracted, she accidentally burned through two bamboo sticks.

“Hehe, I’ll have one.”

Suddenly, a playful voice reached Aunt Feng’s ears.

“Spicy or not?”

Aunt Feng, with her head lowered, not wanting to be recognized and embarrass Zhao Qingfeng, replied.

“Aunt Feng, it’s me!”

Shen Lingyao bent over playfully, looking at Aunt Feng from behind the smokescreen, her adorable demeanor capable of melting anyone’s heart.

“Lingyao?”

Aunt Feng was initially pleased, then frowned, “What are you doing here? Did Little Feng come too? Didn’t he say he was going to the internet café tonight to work on some technology?”

Shen Lingyao was about to answer.

At that moment, several familiar faces passed by, immediately exclaiming, “Isn’t that Shen Lingyao, the school beauty from No. 2 Middle School? What is she doing here at the gate of No. 4 Middle School? She’s not dating someone here, is she?”

In the lore of the county schools, Shen Lingyao was considered the top beauty, even titled the county’s number one beauty by many.

When her name was mentioned, other students who had come out to buy snacks also took notice, turning their attention toward her.

Aunt Feng immediately lowered her head again, urging Shen Lingyao to leave quickly.

She always thought that the Shen family’s girl was too outstanding and should always be in the most beautiful settings, not beside a bustling street food stall at the school gate.

But Shen Lingyao didn’t hide.

She didn’t even know why, but she smiled and started to help grill sausages while calling out to customers.

“The school beauty is selling grilled sausages! We must buy one!”

“Shen Lingyao, if you’re grilling, I must buy! I’ll take three!”

“You’re so pretty, I want five for dinner!”

Seeing Shen Lingyao helping with the grilling, Aunt Feng glanced at her sideways, worried. If she fell for Zhao Qingfeng, would it hinder her bright future?

She wanted to advise.

But didn’t know where to start.

Because the two kids had never made their relationship clear, she wasn’t sure how to counsel them.

Shen Lingyao also looked at Aunt Feng, smiling playfully, “Aunt Feng, take a break. I’ll continue grilling!”

“Students, come and eat my Shen Lingyao’s grilled sausages, you’ll definitely get into university!”

“Aunt Feng, how much are we selling them for, one yuan and fifty cents? Alright, come on students, one yuan and fifty cents each, first come first serve, no more left for latecomers!”

Her sweet demeanor and playful smile were incredibly captivating, especially to the male students.

In a flash.

At least twenty hands reached out with money, astonishing the surrounding vendors. Each one gritted their teeth, wishing they had such a charming girl in their family…

Contrasting with Shen Lingyao’s smiling face, Liu Ruoxin in the provincial city wasn’t as happy.

That day, not only had she not received any shoes or delicious food, but her plans also hadn’t been achieved, and she was deeply hurt by Zhao Qingfeng.

At the moment, she was at the train station, waiting to pick up her father, returning from a trip. Her small face was clouded with worry, wanting to share the day’s events with her father.

She had thought her dad would be happy after a few days of travel with his young wife.

But unexpectedly.

Old Liu’s mood wasn’t great that day.

His face looked like a mix of durian and stinky tofu.

As soon as he got off the train, Old Liu immediately instructed the driver to inform all company employees to be present for an urgent overnight meeting.
