Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 356 - 240: My Own Cabbage Is About to Be Taken Away!
Red Rose Tavern.
Although it’s already winter, the tavern hasn’t become deserted because of the cold weather.
On the contrary, it’s getting more popular due to the Red Rose Band’s championship win.
After finishing his exams, Shen Qiushan routinely checks in at the tavern.
"Teacher Shen, can we take a photo together?"
"Old Shen, can I get an autograph?"
"Wow, it’s Teacher Shen in the flesh!"
"Teacher Shen, all the people who criticized you have had their accounts banned!"
As Shen Qiushan walked into the tavern, he was immediately surrounded by the guests.
Recently, every time Shen Qiushan comes to the tavern, it’s a similar scene. He’s quite used to it by now.
After meeting the guests’ requests, Shen Qiushan sat down next to the bar.
Because the tavern’s business is doing very well, there’s live performance on the stage throughout the day, which is quite affordable. Moreover, those performing during the day at the tavern are members of the "Pop Music Club," so the performance fees are quite low.
At the moment, the one singing on stage is Cheng Yuanyuan from the Pop Music Club. She was the one who once blocked Shen Qiushan, asking him to become the club president.
After some time honing her skills on the Red Rose Tavern stage, Cheng Yuanyuan has become a qualified resident singer. Not only has her singing skill improved slightly, but she can also interact with the live audience.
Shen Qiushan took a sip of the lemon water poured by Xu Pipa, then habitually patted her little mushroom head. "Is your final exam finished?"
"Not yet, it’ll be all done by tomorrow."
"Focus on your studies, no need to spend all your energy here at the tavern."
Since the Red Rose Tavern opened, Xu Pipa has almost been at the tavern every day. She claims it’s a part-time job, but the hours are comparable to a full-time employee. Whenever she doesn’t have class, she’s at the tavern.
"Being at the tavern doesn’t affect my studying."
Xu Pipa replied, taking out a book from under the bar.
Her main job at the tavern is bartending. Once she mastered the skills, she has quite a lot of free time.
Additionally, Xu Pipa is smart enough to find time to read between work.
"The winter break is almost here, any plans?"
Shen Qiushan casually asked another question.
"Work at the tavern."
Xu Pipa replied decisively.
"Nothing else?"
"After my exams tomorrow, I want to visit my dad."
Xu Pipa added.
"I’ll go with you. It’s quite a long way, driving would be more convenient."
Xu Pipa’s father is at the Second Mental Hospital of Sanjiang City, located on the outskirts. The traffic is not convenient, so driving is the best option. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Okay, sure!"
Xu Pipa nodded gently, not being too polite about it.
Anyway, she already owes Uncle Shen a lot; as the saying goes, "Many debts don’t weigh you down."
Moreover, Xu Pipa enjoys the alone time with Shen Qiushan.
After entering university, the roommates or classmates around her are all in relationships, and as an observer, Xu Pipa has also developed some of her own ideas.
She used to think her feelings for Shen Qiushan were mainly gratitude, but now she feels that her gratitude for this Uncle Shen seems to have changed slightly.
But Xu Pipa is a smart girl. Through observation, she can almost be certain that Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo are together.
That result didn’t surprise her at all. She had already noticed some clues during the final sprint in her senior year of high school.
So she knows that Shen Qiushan is not currently single.
And Xu Pipa doesn’t have the ambition to compete or fight over it. She feels that being able to see Shen Qiushan often and to offer him some help within her capabilities is already very good!
Additionally, Xu Pipa deeply understands one principle: When you bloom, butterflies will come!
She is still just a little girl still studying, and in her view, she probably isn’t very attractive.
Thus, Xu Pipa’s plan is that one day when she is "shining brightly," she might confess her heart’s secret!
Otherwise, she will forever keep this secret hidden in her heart.
"Brother Shen, there are two students who came for a winter break part-time job interview. Can you take a look? I’m off to the restroom!"
At this time, Hu Tingting came over to the bar, clutching her stomach.
"Go on quickly!"
Shen Qiushan smiled and waved his hand, then looked over behind Hu Tingting. Following her were two guys, one tall and skinny, with regular features, quite handsome.
The other didn’t fare as well in appearance, but he was also quite tall and had a silly appearance.
"Teacher Shen, my name is Hu Jian, from the journalism department."
"He’s also from the journalism department, named Xiao Sinian!"
The silly-looking guy took the initiative to speak, also introducing the little handsome guy next to him.
Upon hearing the name "Xiao Sinian," Shen Qiushan instinctively raised an eyebrow. That name left a very deep impression on him because he indirectly learned that his daughter seemed fond of a certain brat named Xiao Sinian.
Because of this, Shen Qiushan even specifically asked someone to investigate the other’s background. The guy is from the northeast, to be precise, a rural area in the northeast, with poor family conditions.
After learning about his family background, Shen Qiushan was actually a bit opposed to his daughter dating such a boyfriend.
Fortunately, he didn’t hear of any further contact between the two and thought the matter had passed.
After all, young people are known to be fickle.
Today, they might impulsively feel good about someone, and tomorrow, they might find a new target!
But what Shen Qiushan didn’t expect was that this Xiao Sinian actually came to his tavern to apply for a winter break part-time job!
If he were really hired, wouldn’t that create opportunities for his daughter and Xiao Sinian to be together?
