CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 129 DISTURBANCE_2

"Alright! Let’s do it your way!" He Yuan slipped from Chen Si’s side to Du Xixi’s side, looking at Du Xixi with great admiration, "How come we couldn’t think of this after so many days, but you thought of it in an instant?"

"Your hearts have all sunk into cooking, that’s why you treat ready-made templates as non-existent!" Du Xixi pinched He Yuan’s face amusingly. Although there wasn’t much flesh on He Yuan’s face, in fact, it was quite gaunt due to long-term exercise, Du Xixi didn’t use much force, just going through the motions.

He Yuan gave a silly smile, feeling that Du Xixi’s pinch was really light, almost like a tickle on her face. At that moment, she found Du Xixi incredibly adorable, exactly fitting her image of a younger sister.

But little did she know, He Yuan, who found Du Xixi adorable, was also seen as incredibly cute in everyone’s eyes. Ever since leaving the Cultural Relics Bureau and coming to the pure environment of the Food Department, her original nature was increasingly exposed, often appearing naively silly.

***

In the following days, Du Xixi didn’t end up accompanying Zhang Ye and the others in honing their cooking skills, nor did Zhang Ye and the others have much free time to pick up a knife—the "new students" coming for evaluation had arrived.

Du Xixi remembered it was a gloomy morning, the students arrived in batches, all uniformly taking the hover bus arranged by Blue Star University, wearing the same blue sportswear.

Although Blue Star University’s students were mostly near adult age or already adults, they were required to wear uniforms during school. This was to prevent envy amongst students.

Du Xixi stood beside Zhang Ye and the others, the five professors came out together to greet them, which was a grand display, not to mention several Mechanical Soldiers standing behind Du Xixi, looking like a leadership inspection.

However, the students were much more "rambunctious" than Du Xixi imagined, each acting as if they were on a group outing; even if there was no chance to compare clothes, they would turn to showing off their bags and the things inside them on the spot.

Du Xixi and others had sharp eyes, and within a few minutes after disembarking, no less than twenty students were already bragging to those beside them about their branded watches and various "exclusive" items from "rich" families in their bags.

Du·Inherited billions of her parents’ wealth·Has a whole big family waiting to be inherited on Blue Star·True·Rich·Xixi: What are they showing off?

In her heart, Du Xixi felt indifferent, even thinking these students were bragging to themselves in vain, but Zhang Ye and the others came from truly humble backgrounds, and suddenly felt that the times were developing too fast, their wallets somewhat couldn’t keep up.

Although there were wealthy individuals in the Cultural Relics Bureau, wealth aside, since everyone met frequently, they maintained some restraint and never flaunted wealth in the workaholic Bureau; at most, when drinking Nutrition Supplement together, the wealthy would show off the special flavors of their Nutrition Supplement.

--Actually, that’s hardly showing off, given how dreadful Nutrition Supplements taste; even if the flavor improves, the taste does not change.

Expecting to greet diligent students, they instead welcomed a bunch of people ready to show off wealth and compare, Zhang Ye and the others felt a bit disillusioned. If not for Du Xixi standing steadily there, they might have already turned around to leave.

It was unclear whether Du Xixi’s expression was too cold or Zhang Ye and the others were too gloomy, but over a hundred people standing on the spacious square finally sensed something was amiss and slowly quieted down.

Du Xixi lowered her gaze slightly and paid no attention to those students who were very interested in her, instead using the Light Computer to contact Ke Lian, hurriedly cramming some "new soldier training" techniques.

What Du Xixi and the others needed to teach were students who genuinely wanted to learn culinary skills, not a group of money-minded and cash-obsessed scions!

The Blue Star Empire’s Military Department had a set of discipline techniques, and Ke Lian, being a standout in the troop training regiment, naturally had plenty of experience, with each lesson being the best of the best. Getting this "tutoring" from Ke Lian, Du Xixi felt a sudden clarity in her mind.

While sending the "discipline manual" to Zhang Ye and the others, Du Xixi straightened her posture, trying hard to emulate Ke Lian’s indifferent manner she had inadvertently seen before, staring at these students standing haphazardly with a sharp gaze.
