Chapter 168 The Eighth Monday

Although Zheng Qing's bad little story ruined Fatty's mood for soup, it didn't completely kill his appetite. Instead, it gave him an excuse to add food and vegetables.

After just walking around the window, the fat man brought a few more delicacies to the table.

But this time, he changed his soup to the same corn soup as Zheng Qing - this is a very safe measure. At the very least, Zheng Qing would not risk disgusting himself by telling another little story.

After sitting at the dining table, the fat man looked at the government-funded student who was having fun sucking, sneered twice, and suddenly grabbed a spoon and stirred in the small box of yogurt he bought, and scooped up a spoonful of thick, slightly white yogurt. , poured into the turtle soup that had been pushed aside before.

The white yogurt is like an ugly stain hanging on the slightly clear turtle soup surface.

"That's very vivid." The fat man chuckled maliciously.

This time, Zheng Qing couldn't drink anymore.

"Just to disgust me, you're wasting a box of yogurt?" The young public-funded student opened his eyes wide and his tone was a bit unbelievable.

"No, this is not a waste, this is a necessary loss." Fatty Xin shook his stubby fingers and spoke righteously: "In a food war, there are no winners, everyone is a loser. But in a food war, I can't fail."

Zheng Qing actually thought it was very appropriate for the fat man to say the most powerful words for the second time in a row.

This made him wonder if there was something wrong with his mentality.

"You two are already adults, can you act more mature!" Seeing the two of them starting to fight, Dr. Xiao Da, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally growled in a low voice: "Don't act like a primary school student!"

Zheng Qing and Fatty Xin finally calmed down a little.

A wizard with a ponytail and a slightly yellow face carried a paper bag and hurriedly broke into the cafeteria and walked through the dining hall. The cold wind he brought in when he entered caused a few tables near the door to complain.

The wizard turned around quickly, bowed and apologized repeatedly, but without slowing down at all, he ran straight to the window where the pastries were served.

"That's Nicholas, right?" Zhang Jixin's sharpest eyes were the first to notice the small commotion at the door of the restaurant. He raised his eyebrows curiously: "Why is he going in such a hurry?"

Fatty Xin had just stuffed a small steamed bun into his mouth. Hearing this, he turned to look in the direction of Nicholas.

"Oh, him." The fat man struggled to swallow the buns in his mouth. His mouth was full of oil. He had already picked up the next victim with his chopsticks and muttered at the same time: "I heard that I found a good part-time job. I have been very busy recently. Huh."

"Part-time job?" Xiao Xiao's ears perked up.

Zheng Qing also became interested in this matter, and in the blink of an eye he forgot all about the disagreement he had with Fatty a few seconds ago: "Now are there any part-time jobs suitable for us? Isn't there an overabundance of labor on the island recently... Even us From time to time, people come to our small shop to ask if they need temporary workers.”

Last year, the return of silence was brought forward early, which resulted in a large number of tribes of magical creatures that were supposed to enter the depths of the forest to stay near the school this year. This provided a large number of cheap labor for merchants and alchemy workshops in Beta Town, causing young wizards with high ambitions and low skills and inexperience to work part-time at the First University. Channels are rapidly decreasing.

Zheng Qing heard Jiang Yu say that the student union has now begun to consider providing public welfare positions to help some young wizards with family difficulties to overcome difficulties and prevent them from affecting their studies because they cannot afford experimental materials.

"If there is a conflict, there will be a market, and if there is a market, there will be a demand." The fat man shook his chopsticks twice while holding the bun, and finally gave up the urge to stuff it into his mouth immediately, and patiently chatted to his companions: " What is the most obvious conflict at Daiichi University now? The conflict between Alpha and Kuyou Academy.”

"So? What market can there be for this?" Zhang Jixin was too lazy to think about it as always: "Is there any club that needs to hire thugs? How come I haven't heard of such news."

"Stupid." Fatty Xin sneered twice: "Under the school's rules, few people dare to fight over open fire. Most of the fights happen in places other than fists. Such as public opinion, public opinion, and public opinion."

"What does this have to do with a part-time job?" The red-faced wizard crushed the bread in his hand, but still asked patiently.

"Does a speech require an audience or a supporter? Does distributing leaflets require temporary workers? How many of those cheering, shouting, and demonstrating do you think are pursuing their ideals and beliefs?"

"So," Zheng Qing concluded, "Nicholas found a job distributing leaflets, right?"

Fatty Xin hesitated for a rare moment, then paused for a moment before whispering: "I heard that he also accepted a paid interview from the Beta Town Post... because the throat moisturizing fee given by the Beta Town Post was very generous."

"Stupid." Xiao Xiao repeated the words Fatty said before.

Zheng Qing nodded, looking at Nicholas's hurried back, a hint of worry appeared on his face: "Should we remind him? Everyone knows the virtues of Beta Town Post... and it also has a background there."

Over there, compared to Jiuyou Academy, it is naturally the Alpha Academy. Although the Beta Town Post claims to be objective and neutral, most of the members of the newspaper are from the Alpha College, and they are born with a strong Alpha color. In addition, the newspaper office is located in Beta Town outside Alpha Fort. It can be said that the day after tomorrow is also shrouded in Alpha's influence.

Zheng Qing once accepted an interview with this newspaper. At that time, he naively thought that he would be commended by the academy for this. Unexpectedly, after the report came out, his words in the interview were copied and pieced together, and turned into an article criticizing the teaching philosophy of Jiuyou College. This also led to a very embarrassing situation for him in the academy for a period of time.

"It's precisely because everyone knows it, so I think he should be prepared for the interview." Regarding Zheng Qing's suggestion, Fatty Xin was a little dissatisfied: "Anyway, he is also a native of Beta Town and has been in school for more than two years. , shouldn’t be ignorant of the nature of that newspaper… Since he agreed to the interview, he should be prepared. This is why I didn’t stop him when I heard the news.”

Fatty’s analysis also makes sense.

The dining table fell into a strange silence for a while, and only the soft sounds of people chewing and sipping could be heard.

Not far away, Nicholas had already bought lunch, grabbed the greasy paper bag and walked out of the cafeteria again. The steps are as hurried as ever. But looking at his face, it seemed much brighter than before.

Zheng Qing squinted his eyes, looked at Nicholas' retreating back, and finally sighed: "In short... no matter what, we ourselves cannot accept interviews from those messy media casually. As the captain of the forgiveness hunting team, I ask everyone to Be careful with your words and actions, especially at this sensitive time. As long as we don't cause trouble and cause trouble to Jiuyou, it will be the best."
