Chapter 533 - 287: The Clown Was Me All Along_4
Hearing Lu Shuwu’s words, Ma Guoqiang was first taken aback, then couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
"??? "
Lu Shuwu looked completely baffled.
Wait a minute...
I was talking about the cafeteria’s external publicity, why did you suddenly bring up the topic of me finding a girlfriend?
These are completely unrelated things!
"What, don’t you understand?"
Ma Guoqiang took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and continued,
"Boss Xiao Jiang already mentioned that during the summer break our cafeteria can take it easy; everyone can take a day or two off occasionally, right?"
"Right."
Lu Shuwu nodded but still looked puzzled and asked,
"But what does that have to do with you saying I should find a girlfriend?"
"It has a lot to do with it!"
Ma Guoqiang chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and said,
"Didn’t you just say you were going to announce online that ’Seventh Dining Hall is open as usual during the summer break’?
You think about it, if that news gets out, won’t people from outside the campus flock in like sharks smelling blood?
If we get more diners, can we still take breaks?
You’re just too full of energy, always thinking about work every day, so that’s why I suggested you find a girlfriend to use up some of that endless energy..."
Lu Shuwu: "..."
Heaven help me, he was just casually saying to announce ’Seventh Dining Hall open as usual during the summer break’ and hadn’t thought it through!
Who knew that Uncle Ma could twist and turn his thoughts like that?!
He really wanted to ask, Uncle Ma, is your brain a little crooked?
If not, how are you making such wild associations?
Of course, he could only think this to himself; saying it out loud would hurt feelings.
However, Lu Shuwu never backed down from a verbal spar, so he focused and said earnestly,
"Uncle Ma, what you’re saying isn’t quite right.
Our Seventh Dining Hall is already well-known. As part of it, we should focus on how to make the cafeteria even better, more likeable, not just on taking breaks.
Life is short; we should strive to accomplish something remarkable on the canvas of our life, even if it means working harder. It’s worth it.
Only then, when we look back in our old age, we’ll feel it wasn’t a life lived in vain!"
He paused, turned to look at the stunned Ma Guoqiang, and cheekily asked,
"Uncle Ma, don’t you think so?"
With that, without waiting for Ma Guoqiang to respond, he turned around and went back to work.
It wasn’t until Lu Shuwu walked away that Ma Guoqiang snapped out of it and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh:
"This brat is even trying to teach me a lesson; I’ve eaten more salt than he’s had meals!"
"You know, you can’t say he’s wrong. Little Wu usually acts all careless, but his words weren’t off the mark."
Jia Dequan, who had been sitting quietly listening, chuckled and said,
"Take the chance to work hard while you’re young, so you won’t have it so hard when you’re old. We only realized this too late!"
Listening to Jia Dequan, Ma Guoqiang smacked his lips but couldn’t seem to say a word.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Yu on the other side, but Jiang Yu seemed completely oblivious to their conversation, entirely absorbed in playing chess on his phone.
This boss, truly without a care in the world!
Ma Guoqiang smirked, turned his head back to continue sipping his tea, pondering to himself:
Who knows how far the Seventh Dining Hall can go under Boss Xiao Jiang’s leadership?
Will I see it in my lifetime?
Maybe, I might just get to see it?
