Chapter 39: Chapter 39, Kale Gate.
Geng Yafei already knew!
"Li Bing has been chasing me for years. Over these years, he has been hostile towards any young man who appeared around me," Geng Yafei explained. "However, he doesn't know that his behavior only makes me hate him more!"
Seeing the undisguised disgust on Geng Yafei's face, Jaxon knew that she truly disliked Li Bing's behavior and must have talked to him about it, but to no avail.
Jaxon mourned for Li Bing in his heart for a second. The guy clearly had too strong a sense of possession, treating Geng Yafei as his private property and not allowing any man to approach her, even if it was just a potential threat. He would be hostile and try to eliminate them. However, such behavior did not win Geng Yafei's favor but instead made her feel disgusted.
Of course, Jaxon also understood that he himself had suffered an undeserved disaster and was affected.
"So, it should be me who apologizes to you for getting you involved," Geng Yafei said to Jaxon.
"It's okay. I don't take it to heart," Jaxon replied.
Geng Yafei thought Jaxon was being magnanimous and trying to comfort her. However, in reality, Jaxon indeed didn't care about Li Bing's issue. He wouldn't stay at Goldenleaf University for long and wouldn't have much contact with Li Bing and Geng Yafei. He didn't want to get involved in these messy matters.
Kaillemen was not far from Goldenleaf University. About ten minutes later, Jaxon and Geng Yafei arrived at the entrance of Kaillemen. At this time, Li Bing and his group had already arrived, but they hadn't gone in and were waiting at the entrance.
They were certainly not waiting for Jaxon, but for Geng Yafei!
Sure enough, when Li Bing saw Geng Yafei's car approaching, he hurriedly came forward with a beaming smile.
However, when he saw Jaxon get out of the passenger seat of Geng Yafei's car, the smile on Li Bing's face immediately froze, replaced by a gloomy expression.
"Why are you in Yafei's car?" Li Bing questioned Jaxon.
"It was me who let him sit in my car," Geng Yafei said after getting out of the car and looking at Li Bing.
"Yafei, how could you give him a ride?" Li Bing exclaimed in urgency.
"It's my car. I can give a ride to whoever I want. It's none of your business," Geng Yafei said bluntly.
Then, Geng Yafei walked to Jaxon's side and said, "Teacher Jaxon, let's go in."
"Sure." Jaxon nodded with a smile, then glanced at Li Bing before entering Kaillemen with Geng Yafei.
Li Bing stood there with a gloomy face. Jaxon's gaze was ordinary, but in Li Bing's eyes, it seemed like a provocation, which made him very angry.
"A poor guy, and he dares to compete with me for a woman?!" Li Bing thought indignantly.
"Master Li, let's go in too."
"Let's go!"
This was Jaxon's first time at Kaillemen, and indeed, it broadened his horizons. The place had two floors, with a total area of over a thousand square meters. The decoration was luxurious, and the waitstaff were all good-looking young men and women, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Although Kaillemen had high consumption, its business was always booming, which also showed that Jiangzhou was not short of rich people.
"When will I have a restaurant like this?" Jaxon thought to himself.
After obtaining the ring that could transport things, Jaxon initially only wanted to use the world on the other side of the ring to help his barbecue business thrive.
However, he now realized that this requirement seemed too low. Just having advanced cooking skills had already made his barbecue business several times better, standing out among the surrounding barbecue stalls.
And there were still many good things in that game world that Jaxon hadn't utilized. Using them only for the barbecue stall would be a waste and unnecessary.
Moreover, the barbecue business was only booming for these few months. As the weather got colder, although people would still eat barbecue, the business wouldn't be as good as it was now. So, if Jaxon wanted to make money, he naturally had to find other ways.
Opening a restaurant was a very good choice. Jaxon had the cooking skills, and in the game, he had also grown a large amount of vegetables, fruits, and some livestock, which could all be sources of ingredients. In this way, as long as he had a storefront, the restaurant could be opened.
However, opening a restaurant was not as simple as running a barbecue stall and required a considerable amount of money. Jaxon didn't have that much money yet, so he could only think about it for now.
Everyone arrived at the private room that had been reserved in advance. As the host of the day, Li Bing unceremoniously picked up the menu and ordered dishes on his own. During the ordering process, he only asked for Geng Yafei's opinion and completely ignored the opinions of the others.
"Kaillemen is really great. Today, thanks to Master Li, we have the honor to eat here. Otherwise, we might never have the chance to dine here in our lifetime. I propose that we toast to Master Li together later, what do you think?" Jaxon's colleague, Li Tian, said.
This guy was tall and strong, and one might have thought he was all brawn and no brain. However, he was actually very good at flattering people.
"I agree! We really have to thank Master Li for bringing us here and broadening our horizons today," another colleague named Wang Fu immediately chimed in.
These two comments brought a smug smile back to Li Bing's face again, and his previously gloomy mood improved a lot.
"It's nothing. Eating here doesn't cost much money," Li Bing said with a wave of his hand.
"It may be a small amount for Master Li, but it's several months' salary for us," Wang Fu said.
"True, how can we compare with Master Li? Master Li's monthly pocket money is several times more than our salary," Li Tian also said. "A young talent like Master Li must have won the hearts of many girls."
"No matter how many other girls there are or how good they are, in my heart, none of them can compare to even a strand of Yafei's hair." Li Bing took the opportunity to express his affection to Geng Yafei, looking at her with an infatuated expression.
"Stop it, please. Don't look at me like that. I still have to eat later and don't want to throw up now." Geng Yafei said with a serious face, waving her hand.
Jaxon, who had been watching the drama on the side, almost burst out laughing when he heard Geng Yafei's words. Seeing Li Bing's constipated expression, he felt even more amused.
"I think Teacher Geng and Master Li are a perfect match, a talented couple."
"Right, only someone as excellent as Teacher Geng deserves Master Li."
Li Tian and Wang Fu continued to assist on the side. These two were really sparing no effort to flatter Li Bing. Jaxon, seeing how adept they were at it, guessed that they had done this more than once.
