Scarlett Jennings officially started her college life.
Apart from Stella Gibson, Ashton Todd also inexplicably started hanging out with them, like right now.
Just after the early class ended, Ashton Todd whipped up with two big bags of takeout, braving the resentful gazes of the cafeteria chefs, and routinely handed out the orders to the freshmen waiting in the cafeteria, collecting their money.
After settling everyone, he finally approached the two with his now mostly deflated takeout bags.
Three breakfast orders, set out one by one.
"Eat it while it’s hot, this one has the extra ingredients your family specified for you."
As Ashton Todd spoke, he pushed a special food container towards Scarlett Jennings.
Scarlett Jennings opened the container, only to see a bowl of rice noodles topped with a generous assortment of seafood.
"Wow..."
Stella Gibson and Ashton Todd couldn’t help but gulp down their saliva at the sight of the heaping half-bowl of seafood.
Ashton Todd’s takeout was brought from down the mountain.
Since the food street was not fully built yet, Donovan Jennings was worried that Scarlett Jennings wouldn’t be able to eat properly during this period, so he dispatched ten food trucks to be stationed down the mountain, with fresh ingredients delivered daily.
Ashton Todd was the first to spot the "business opportunity" and took less than a week to take over the food delivery errands in Newlife Court, and even started making connections with senior students further up the mountain’s slope.
The business was growing rapidly.
"Do rich families’ kids always eat this well?"
Unable to contain himself, Ashton Todd let out an exclamation of someone unfamiliar with high living.
Seriously, Stella Gibson, with her baby-faced look, said, "No, kids from wealthy families usually eat much better than you can imagine."
As she spoke, her chopsticks were eagerly ready to move,
"Scarlett doesn’t eat much; how about I help you with some of it?"
Hearing this, Ashton Todd hurriedly opened his own disposable meal container,
"As a business partner and competitor of Scarlett Jennings, it’s my duty to help her bear more of the burden!... I want that big shrimp, I’ve never tried this kind before."
Scarlett Jennings was already used to their antics, first setting terms with Stella Gibson,
"Remember to bring me that Corpse Soil you mentioned last time."
Stella Gibson nodded vigorously, "Bring, bring, bring."
Scarlett Jennings then turned to Ashton Todd, "One big shrimp for three days’ worth of delivery fees."
Ashton Todd immediately withdrew his chopsticks, speaking with righteous indignation, "My delivery fee starts at fifty per trip!"
Three meals a day, that’s one hundred and fifty a day.
Four hundred and fifty for three days!
What kind of shrimp costs four hundred and fifty each?! He’d rather not eat it at all!!
Scarlett Jennings lightheartedly responded, "Then two shrimps."
Ashton Todd frantically haggled, "Three big shrimp and two crab legs for one day’s delivery fee!"
Scarlett Jennings simply pulled her meal container back to herself, deciding to eat alone.
Seeing her preparing to dig in, Ashton Todd hastily said, "One big shrimp and one crab leg for one day’s delivery fee."
Fearing she might refuse, he began to sound pitiful,
"It’s been a year since I had seafood; back in Myan North, they only gave me steamed buns for half a month! Please save a child."
Scarlett Jennings twitched her mouth, at a loss for words at Ashton Todd’s plea.
In the end, she still lost a big shrimp and a crab leg to him.
Ashton Todd ate with great satisfaction and praised the food truck chef’s skills as top-notch.
Nicholas Woods, one of Azura’s new conquest targets after enrolling, was the president of the student council, his family is involved in politics, and he was born with the family’s Fortune, making him one of Azura’s primary targets after starting school.
Beyond him, under the system’s detection, Azura had locked in several targets with notable family backgrounds and Fortune, because earlier on she had withdrawn Chase Jennings’ Fortune, allowing the system to convert it into her own personal charm.
This personal charm meant her targets felt an immediate goodwill upon first meeting her, which was a key reason she could gain such Goodwill Value in such a short time.
The downside was that the originally withdrawn Fortune was massively exhausting.
"I’ve used up too much Fortune this week; I need to go back to the Jennings Family to replenish. As for Nicholas Woods, let him hang for a bit."
Azura wasn’t the least bit worried about losing this conquest target; she had that confidence.
But before she could cultivate these people to a level where she could withdraw their Fortune, she still needed to rely on the Jennings Family. freewebnøvel.com
Approaching the school gate, she saw Adam’s sports car parked ahead of time outside. Azura quickened her pace and, smiling, sat down in the passenger seat.
This sports car was a gift from Uncle Henry to Adam for starting school. It had only been a week since Adam got his hands on it, and he was still excited about it and didn’t mind playing the chauffeur to take Azura home.
The initial choice of Sea University was made for its proximity to home; it had been agreed upon that they would visit home once a week.
On the way home, Azura pondered to herself.
Last week Chase had already been reassigned by Luca Jennings to another company for training; he was now a third in command without decision-making authority.
There was also no surplus Fortune on Chase that she could withdraw.
Goodwill Value with Adam had fallen to 73, limiting the amount of Fortune that could be withdrawn.
As for Lucas, she had already given up on that target.
Mrs. Jennings had suffered a severe illness last time after withdrawing her Fortune and was only just starting to recover; going after her again would easily raise suspicions.
Those remaining... with enough Goodwill Value to withdraw Fortune.
The second aunt by marriage, Odessa.
She was the one to choose.
