I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2216 - 1414: The Rich Helping the Poor

Boss Jiang came to Kyoto University not just to wander around out of boredom.

He was keeping a promise and specifically came to return a book.

It’s just that he had a bit of fun when he met Xiugo Cao. He was supposed to return "Diary of a Madman," but accidentally handed over the newly received "Utopia," and was unsurprisingly teased for it.

"You truly are a scholar."

Feeling thankful that Boss Jiang really came all the way to return the book, Xiugo Cao, who just finished class, invited him to dinner, and Jiang Chen, who is never shy, readily accepted.

They didn’t go to a restaurant; Xiugo Cao took him to Kyoto University’s cafeteria.

Naturally.

Teacher Cao, unlike his sister, has limited salary and cannot afford extravagance.

Actually, not going to a restaurant is completely fine; Kyoto University’s cafeteria is not necessarily worse than a restaurant. They have a wide variety of dishes, clean and hygienic, and economical.

It’s not yet five, some students are still in class, so it’s not peak dining time. Thus, getting food is convenient, and there’s no need to queue. Boss Jiang wandered from window to window with a stainless steel tray, feeling right at home, even chatting with the cafeteria ladies, probably treating it like East University’s cafeteria.

It’s actually unnecessary to be so attentive. Seeing Xiugo Cao, who was following him to swipe his card and pay, the cafeteria ladies served with steady hands, even increasing the portions. Even though Xiugo Cao’s title isn’t high, he is quite well-known and respected at Kyoto University.

"Teacher Cao, it seems your card balance is insufficient."

At the chicken drumstick window, the lady swiping the card apologized for the inconvenience.

Although the university cafeteria is economical, payment is still necessary.

Jiang Chen was fine, but Xiugo Cao felt a little embarrassed, said sorry, and immediately went to the cafeteria entrance to recharge his card at the machine.

"Please wait a moment."

Jiang Chen nodded, remaining calm and composed, but looking at his full tray, without him, Xiugo Cao’s employee card balance would certainly not be exhausted, certainly plenty for him to eat this meal.

"Auntie, use mine."

A student’s card was placed on the card reader at the chicken drumstick window.

It turned out to be a female student who stepped forward, with an oval face, full and shiny cheeks, a ponytail, thick jet-black hair, importantly without the stereotypical glasses of a straight-A student.

The cafeteria lady looked at Xiugo Cao.

"Thank you, but that won’t be necessary."

Being a teacher, Xiugo Cao would not take advantage of such offers, unsurprisingly refused.

"Teacher Cao, I often attend your lectures, it’s just a few bucks."

Perhaps this is the unique sense of achievement for a Soul Engineer.

Seeing the girl’s sincere smile, even Jiang Chen standing nearby felt honored and chimed in, "I think what this student said makes sense, respecting teachers is a traditional virtue of our nation, and when a teacher faces trouble, it is only right and proper for students to lend a hand."

Xiugo Cao showed an expression of amused frustration.

"Auntie, please use the card."

The girl spoke again to the cafeteria lady.

This time, the cafeteria lady no longer adhered strictly to the rules and deftly deducted the chicken drumstick money from the student’s card.

"Goodbye, Teacher Cao."

"Student, what’s your name?"

Jiang Chen called after her.

Giving her name would undoubtedly leave an impression on Teacher Cao, possibly helping her in exams, aiding with extra credits or something. In Kyoto University, this girl would certainly understand Jiang Chen’s good intentions, but she did not accept.

She smiled graciously, said nothing, and then turned to walk away.

The ponytail swayed.

"No wonder Teacher Cao chooses to stay here."

Jiang Chen expressed his feelings.

Reflecting reality.

Earning a fortune or holding a high position may never match the respect afforded to an ordinary teacher.

"Did you get so much food, can you finish it?"

Xiugo Cao’s tone finally revealed a hint of emotion typical of a regular person.

"Thank Teacher Cao for the expense."

The two stoic men exchanged smiles in front of the cafeteria window.

They returned to the seats occupied by "Utopia."

Reserving seats with books is somewhat improper and inadvisable, but now it’s not peak time, there are many available seats, so it doesn’t matter.

Compared to Jiang Chen’s lavish feast, Xiugo Cao’s tray looked much lighter, but wasn’t intentionally seeking vegetarian options, after all, it’s proven that vegetarianism is definitely not a healthy dietary method, on the contrary, it can reverse and damage health.

"Did you really finish it?"

At this moment, Xiugo Cao questioned Boss Jiang’s reading speed for the first time. "Diary of a Madman" isn’t long, but Boss Jiang doesn’t seem like someone with a lot of time to read.

"Is Teacher Cao going to test me?"

Jiang Chen picked up his chopsticks.

The environment is indeed important.

Why some business dealings occur in teahouses, and some in karaoke bars?

Different venues lead to different psychological changes in individuals.

At the Cao Residence, Xiugo Cao was quite friendly, but regardless of the situation, it wouldn’t be as relaxed as sitting here in the Kyoto University cafeteria.

"You’re not even my student."

Xiugo Cao picked up his chopsticks to eat as well.

Compared to the last time when Jiang Chen went to Cao Residence to "borrow books," this time Jiang Chen’s mood was clearly much improved.

"Does Teacher Cao not go home to eat during workdays?"

The two chatted while eating.

"You know I have to cook if I go home, it’s easier and more convenient to eat at school."

"Does she never cook herself?"

"Not exactly, before when you and Uncle Sui came over, didn’t she help out?"
