Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 971: Chapter 573: Returning to School

”No.” Zhu Jiangyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, ”Luoluo, I’m really fed up with the feeling of being pointed at by everyone.”

”People tend to forget quickly; I believe that in a year, when I return to school, everyone will have practically forgotten about this. As long as I work hard, my future won’t be bleak.”

”Do you take us for fools?” Luo Ye snorted, ”Don’t say it’s a military school; even in an ordinary school, the disadvantages of taking a leave of absence are obvious. We’ve managed to sort things out for you with great difficulty; is it appropriate to act like a coward again?”

”As for being pointed at, tell me, have I been pointed at less than you? Zhu Jiangyu, I am very grateful for everything you’ve done for me, and I apologize for overlooking your situation.”

”At the same time, I despise your cowardice. Can taking a leave solve everything? Returning to school next year, you’ll only become more of a topic of discussion; what will you do then? Drop out?”

”You didn’t let Zhu Jianglin tell your family about your leave because you were afraid of them worrying, weren’t you? Your father has all his hopes pinned on you; if you destroy his hopes, what will keep him going?”

”What good will regret do later? Listen to me, go back to school, attend classes and train normally, and everything will soon return to normal.”

”Meanwhile, we should carry on as we should, interact as usual, and that way, others won’t gossip unnecessarily.”

”Speaking of which, I’d like to make a bet with you. Zhu Jiangyu, do you dare to work harder and join Fierce Tiger next year to become my colleague?”

”Alright, I’ll return to school!” Zhu Jiangyu nodded vigorously.

Zhu Jianglin leaned forward, ”Bro, let’s work hard together. Next year, I also want to join Fierce Tiger.”

”Yes, let’s strive together.” Zhu Jiangyu checked the time, ”Let me finish my last shift, and then I’ll talk to Mr. Lin after work.”

Luo Ye nodded, ”Okay, you go ahead and take care of it. In fact, we haven’t eaten yet; could you ask Mr. Zhu to arrange a table for us and order some special dishes?”

”No problem, you guys can head to room 202; today I’ll make sure to serve you personally.” Zhu Jiangyu said as he walked a few steps toward the hall and gestured to a waiter, ”Take the guests to room 202.”

”Yes, Mr. Zhu.”

Zhu Jianglin laughed and patted him, ”Bro, you’re pretty convincing in this role.”

”Be mindful of the impact!” Zhu Jiangyu said, unable to hold back a smile, ”All the hard work I’ve done recently to establish my image has been ruined by you guys.”

...

Back kitchen.

”Mr. Zhu, are you really leaving?” Xiao Yu looked at him with reluctance, ”Everything is moving in a positive direction; why are you leaving now?”

”Xiao Yu, Master Jiang, Master Nian, Xiao Yue, thank you for your care during this time. Forgive me for not telling the truth before. Actually, I’m a student at GF University, and due to some misunderstandings, I wanted to come out and gain some experience.”

”Now, my classmates have found me, so I can’t stay here any longer. Rest assured, I’ll come and visit you when I’m on break, and I’ll help out for free, okay?”

Old Nian delightedly said, ”Little Zhu, I’ve long noticed you’re not someone to be kept in a small pond; I was right after all. Little Zhu, work hard, and when you’re successful, we won’t ask for much—just some bragging rights would do.”

Xiao Yue quickly added, ”Master Nian, that’s not right; Mr. Zhu is an officer, we shouldn’t speak carelessly and cause trouble.”

”You little girl, hardly ever speak, but now you’re replying faster than anyone. Tell your master, do you secretly like our Mr. Zhu?”

Xiao Yue blushed, ”Master, I know my level well; I just feel that we shouldn’t hold Mr. Zhu back.”

Master Nian laughed heartily, ”Alright, we’ll follow Xiao Yue’s advice and not speak carelessly. We’ll secretly enjoy ourselves, is that okay?”

”Oh no...” Xiao Yu said regretfully, tapping his forehead, ”Earlier, I deliberately annoyed Wang Liang, and now, with Boss Zhu leaving, will he take over as deputy manager? Then where will I have any peace? Oh, Boss Zhu, your departure has doomed me.”

Zhu Jiangyu looked at him apologetically, ”Xiao Yu, I’m sorry. When I resign with Mr. Lin, I’ll mention this. I’m sure Mr. Lin won’t allow him to settle personal scores.”

”Thank you, Boss Zhu.” Xiao Yu waved casually, ”It’s fine; if he gives me a hard time, I’ll just quit. There are plenty of restaurants; I can earn a living anywhere.”

”Boss Zhu, we don’t ask for anything else, but when our buddies don’t believe us when we say we know an officer, can we ask you to confirm it?”
