16: Good night

Seeing Xu Bai nod, the three young men cheered and said impatiently, "Okay, Brother Xu, we'll submit the team application tomorrow. You might need to come to our academy tomorrow at noon."

"No problem, I know. I need to sign an agreement with the academy. I'll bring Lele with me then."

"Okay, how about we have lunch at school after everything's done? We can experience our alma mater's food again."

"I want to eat the braised pork. The school's braised pork is truly unforgettable."

When it came to food, Li Baoyu got excited. He was a professional when it came to eating.

Not only because his family was in the food business, but also because he was born with a sensitive tongue that could taste the quality of ingredients and identify which materials were used.

"You really know how to eat. We also like braised pork. This is the cafeteria's signature dish, but unfortunately, the auntie's serving skills are too superb; she won't give you an extra piece. Begging her is useless..."

As if remembering some unbearable past, Li Baoyu didn't continue.

"Then I won't be polite. Lunch tomorrow is on you guys."

Xu Bai replied, glancing at the sky outside.

"It's getting late. You guys should go upstairs to sleep. You still have to get up early for school tomorrow. I plan to sleep here tonight too."

"Brother Xu, why don't we go upstairs to sleep together? There's no big bed down here either." Zhao Zixuan invited Xu Bai to sleep in his room upstairs.

"No need. It's summer now, and the weather is so hot that I don't need a blanket. Plus, there are sleeping mats in the warehouse, so sleeping is very convenient."

Hearing Xu Bai refuse, the three didn't say anything more. Such a small matter didn't require too much fuss, so they said goodbye to Xu Bai and walked out of the small shop, turning towards the back of the house, as the stairs were there.

"Good night." "Good night." "Mm-hmm, good night."

The three wished each other good night at their respective doors, opened their room doors, and went inside.

After washing up, the three lay in bed and quickly fell asleep, accompanied by a croak or two from a frog.

Fortunately, this month wasn't the hottest time of summer yet, otherwise, they would be tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Here, winter is too cold, and summer is too hot. Why can't these two seasons be neutralized?

In winter, it's cold, but you can wear clothes and thick blankets. In summer, the heat is truly unbearable; the whole air is hot.

At this time, Xu Bai, lying on the sleeping mat, also thought about how it would get hotter in the coming months and considered making an air conditioner, but there was no electricity, and an air conditioner might be too complex, requiring many cardss to combine.

Oh, right, he could also make a fan first. A fan's structure is relatively simpler, and there are hand-cranked ones, but hand-cranking is too tiring, so electricity it is.

Hmm, let him think. Electricity. It seems he can make batteries first. Electric energy is a brand new energy for this world. He'll test the waters with batteries first, then think about large-scale power generators later.

So, he would use this cooperation to strengthen his relationship with those families, let them see his value, and then future collaborations could unfold better.

As for the yun rou jin (cloud soft tissue) cards cooperation, Xu Bai didn't attach too much importance to it; it was a one-time quick money business. The Telescope cards was the big deal, capable of earning long-term profits.

"Wah wah wah!" Xu Le suddenly started crying.

Xu Bai pulled his thoughts back, got up, and changed Lele's diaper and fed him milk.

With this little guy around, safety was paramount. Starting a business in this world was a bit risky, and he didn't fully understand many of the rules.
