While jealousy is jealousy, Xia Nuannuan naturally still wanted to help.
"Sisters, listen to me," Xia Nuannuan said loudly.
The girls all turned to look at her.
"Let the boys go to the mixer, we don't care about them. I'll treat everyone to something good," Xia Nuannuan promised.
"Nuannuan, what good thing?" Shen Siqi asked curiously.
"A seafood buffet. My dad owns the restaurant, and I'll take everyone there to eat as much as you want," Xia Nuannuan replied with a sweet smile.
Upon hearing this, the group of girls' eyes lit up. The boys were also dumbfounded. A seafood buffet, that wasn't something everyone could afford to eat, and most people hadn't even tried it yet!
"Class monitor, does your family own a restaurant? Is it here in Jiangcheng?" a girl asked in astonishment.
"Yes!" Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile and said, "It's called Xia Ji Seafood Buffet Restaurant, and there's a branch not far from our school."
"I know, I know, there's one in Modu too. I went with my family once, and it was very expensive."
"Xia Ji Seafood is an old brand, I've heard of it too. It seems to have branches in many big cities."
"That's right, there are several branches in Jiangcheng. I saw them when I went to the mall, but I couldn't bring myself to go in. The buffet costs over five hundred yuan per person!"
"Oh my god, Xia Nuannuan is actually a super rich and beautiful girl!"
"I only knew she was a wealthy woman before, I didn't expect her to be a young lady from a prominent family!"
The classmates in the class discussed animatedly, their shock evident.
"Tian Ge, what's your future father-in-law's net worth?" Cao Mingliang asked Qin Tian next to him curiously.
"I don't know!" Qin Tian shrugged with a smile and added, "But it should be no less than your dad's coal business!"
Cao Mingliang was stunned and asked in surprise, "How did you manage to win over such a super rich and beautiful girl? Is your family also super wealthy?" Chen Zhuang and the others also looked on with curiosity.
"No, my family is just ordinary. I rely on my looks, talent, and temperament..." Qin Tian said earnestly, counting on his fingers.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Cao Mingliang interrupted him directly, looking at him with disdain. "Can you be any more shameless?" Chen Zhuang and the others nodded in agreement, also looking disdainful. Even though Qin Tian was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and his looks and talent were indeed outstanding, they would never admit it.
At the same time, after the initial shock, the girls cheered and showered Xia Nuannuan with compliments.
"Class monitor is generous!"
"Teacher Xia, I love you to death!"
"Thank you, class monitor, for letting us experience a rich person's life. I've only eaten crayfish, never a seafood feast!"
"To hell with their mixer, can men compare to a seafood buffet?"
"Nuannuan, hurry and let me hug you, you rich young lady, so I can borrow some of your luck!" Cheng Meng opened her arms with a bright smile, about to hug Xia Nuannuan.
Xia Nuannuan quickly dodged and said loudly to everyone, "The condition is that everyone listens to Tian Ge and gets into the top three, no, just the top five, for the military training performance. I think what Tian Ge said is very right, and I also hope that everyone can have a beautiful memory of this military training."
"No problem, we'll definitely get it!"
"Just the top five. For my big lobsters and big crabs, never mind top five or top three, we must win the championship!"
"It doesn't matter who comes, I'm going to eat this seafood buffet."
"Hey, hey, you boys, don't drag us down!"
"You guys can go for your mixers and beautiful girls, we're not envious at all, hahaha..."
"Instructor Qi, we've rested enough, let's start training!" The girls' spirits were high, and the fire of determination seemed to burn in their eyes.
"Class monitor Xia Nuannuan, I'm not interested in girls or romance. I don't want to go to the mixer. Can I go with you guys for the big meal then?" a boy suddenly raised his hand and said.
As soon as he said this, the sharp gazes of other boys shot towards him, looking at him like a shameless traitor.
"This..." Xia Nuannuan looked hesitant.
"Class monitor, don't agree to him!"
"No, Nuannuan, don't let him go. It's enough for us girls to go together."
"Class monitor, he's lying, I saw him very excited just now." The girls all refused.
"Class monitor Xia Nuannuan, I report that Zeng Sanjin actually has a girlfriend in a university back in his hometown, which is why he says he's not interested and wants to join you for a free meal." A boy from the same dormitory suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
There was an immediate uproar, and contemptuous glances were cast at Zeng Sanjin. The boy's name was actually Zeng Xin, and his dormitory mates had given him the nickname Zeng Sanjin.
"You dead cockroach, what the hell are you doing?" Zeng Xin glared angrily at the roommate who had reported him.
The boy named Zhang Lang spat on the ground, looking disgusted. "I can't stand your behavior. You show off your girlfriend in the dorm every day, whisper sweet nothings on the phone at night, and you wanted to go to the mixer just now, but now you want to switch to a buffet. Ptooey, shameless!"
Feeling the contemptuous gazes of the students around him, Zeng Xin's face flushed with shame and anger.
"Cockroach, I'll fight you. Come here, see if I can step on you."
"Come on, you idiot!" The two exchanged verbal blows and looked like they were about to roll up their sleeves and fight.
"What are you doing? What do you think you're doing?" Instructor Qi shouted, and then blew the assembly whistle. The two glared at each other, spat on the ground, and prepared to settle the score when they returned to the dorm. In less than ten seconds, the formation was assembled and standing neatly. Instructor Qi stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "I don't care what your reasons are, but both your class monitors are people who keep their word. So, if you want the mixer and the seafood feast, put in the effort and win the rankings!"
"Yes!!!" The students in the class shouted in unison, their loud voices echoing all around. The astonishing momentum made some instructors and students in the surrounding formations cast surprised glances.
"This Old Qi, he's really good at training soldiers!" a comrade who was good friends with Qi Hong murmured to himself with a smile. Then, this coach trained his own soldiers even more diligently, making his students suffer. After the promises made by the class monitors Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, the class formation's spirit and morale were clearly different. The students were enthusiastic, every movement was executed promptly and with power, and every slogan was loud and imposing.
