Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 398 - 123: It’s a Small World

So the school coach is trying all possible ways to recruit talents, aiming to form a team that wouldn’t lag behind those of other schools too much before the registration deadline.

After Ji Heng refused again, Hu Ping felt better. He had some negative feelings towards the school coach, so he couldn’t quite accept his brother returning to the school team.

If Ji Heng chose to go back, there’d be nothing he could do, except perhaps secretly curse Ji Heng as a fool.

"Let’s go eat." Su Xiaocai wasn’t going to let their decision affect her mood.

Ji Heng had already paid for the cafeteria, and it was agreed that it couldn’t be refunded. If he didn’t eat, she could even make some money.

A large group of students gathered in the cafeteria, and the chef had to cook in much larger quantities, but he did not complain.

With these young people who found everything delicious, the cafeteria chef tossed the pan dozens of more times, extremely fond of these youngsters who licked their plates clean, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Su Xiaocai also ate with them, but her dishes were all made by Xiao Wanzi, so her meals were much more varied.

As they were almost done eating, the cafeteria chef came over and patted his very symbolic big belly.

With a loud voice, he said, "Hello, boss."

"Hello, Chef Li, aren’t you busy in the kitchen? Did you come over to cook for me?"

Chef Li was speechless for a moment. If the boss required him to cook, he would do it. He didn’t need to specifically come over to say it.

It’s just that the boss was sometimes very picky, demanding a variety of dishes, and eating by the bucket, which was hard for a cafeteria chef to satisfy.

He indeed had a request, "Boss, I... I’m sorry to ask, but I do have a favor to ask."

Su Xiaocai was puzzled, "What?"

"I heard the company made an amazing product that allows students to participate in the Mecha Master competition."

"Yes." Su Xiaocai pointed to the seat next to them, "No need to be so polite, take a seat and talk."

The chef shook his head, "What I want to say may offend you, so I’ll mention it first. I heard from employees that Brother Ji’s team is short one person, and you’re their coach."

A chubby and lovely face showed embarrassment. He said, "I have a good-for-nothing nephew. He’s very good at driving, but no team wants him."

Hu Ping, used to a nine-person team, felt it unnecessary to add another, "Why not, if he’s good at driving, shouldn’t many people be competing for him?"

The chef picked at his greasy apron with his fingers, lowered his voice, shrunken his neck, and his chubby chin showed three wrinkles. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"It’s just that he offended you, boss. I only found out yesterday when I forced him to admit it while he was crying in his room."

Liu Xun was curious, "Who?"

There were quite a few people who offended Su Xiaocai, but someone hiding away to cry secretly was hard to imagine.

"Li Shanchun."

Once he said the name, Su Xiaocai remembered, the boy with the baby face.

This world is really small, and after all the twists and turns, the chef was actually related to Li Shanchun.

That kid’s views on some things were fine, just that he tended to be double-standard with his words. It would be nice if he could just keep his mouth shut.

"So no one at school is willing to team up with him?" That’s unlikely, with his potential and willingness to work hard.

"They’re afraid."

If it weren’t for his nephew’s crying, he wouldn’t have known about the connection between him and the boss.

At school, as long as people knew that Li Shanchun had a quarrel with Su Xiaocai, no one dared to team up with him.

Don’t ask why Xue Huiyi still has so many people teaming up with her. People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. Li Shanchun’s family background is just well-off, with no special privileges.

Of course, there are no special considerations.

"That’s not right, he has a poor eye for friends. What if he’s brainwashed and betrays the team?" Wu Qingqing didn’t like this person, and even if the police released him, proving he was innocent, it seemed too much to become teammates.

Liu Xun suddenly found the soup in his bowl tasted bad, "Li Shanchun can just sign up for the solo competition. He doesn’t have a criminal record, it’s fine if he doesn’t participate in the team competition."

"He’s a sensitive kid, with no friends. I think he’s become reclusive lately. It’s all our fault. His mom and dad are often on business trips and don’t take care of him. As his uncle, I’m often absorbed in my things and rarely pay attention to him. He’s just... too lonely, and I’m afraid he’ll take a wrong turn."

The chef wasn’t forcing Su Xiaocai’s team to accept him, "I just want to say, can you give him a chance, let him at least redeem himself, and make him feel a little less miserable."

Chef Li blinked his round eyes, tears welling up.

It was clear he cared a lot about his nephew, but didn’t know what to do.

So he thought, the one who tied the bell should untie it.
