September 29, just one day away from the National Day holiday.

Early in the morning, Hu Zhihai posted a handwritten announcement on the front of the "Jiang Family Soup Dumplings" shop on the first floor of the Second Dining Hall.

It's only 6:30, half an hour before breakfast time, and a lot of students have already started lining up in the hall of the Second Dining Hall.

Seeing another notice posted at the shop, the students at the front of the line craned their necks to read what it said.

The students further back couldn't see the words on the notice clearly with the naked eye and were both curious and worried they'd lose their spot if they left the line, so they had a flash of inspiration and took out their phones to snap a photo, then zoomed in to read it.

The students even further back couldn't even get a clear photo, so they shouted:

"What's written on the notice? Is there a new dish again? Someone up front, read it aloud!"

"What new dish? Are you still half asleep?"

A guy at the front muttered, looking somewhat displeased. He didn't want to read it aloud at first, but then he changed his mind and said loudly:

"The notice says, as the National Day approaches, the shop has decided to close from October 1 to October 7, and starting October 8..."

Such an annoying notice shouldn't only annoy me, it needs to be read loudly so those who can't see also get annoyed!

Sure enough, he hadn't even finished reading when the students in line couldn't help but start lamenting:

"Closed for seven days?! Are they trying to kill us?!"

"Damn it! What am I going to eat for these seven days? I can't swallow other food!"

"I just want to know if not eating for seven days will make me starve to death?"

"..."

Some were upset, while others were relieved:

"Phew! I was wondering whether to go home, now I don't need to worry, I'm going home for National Day!"

"Same here, my high school bestie is studying in Beijing, we planned a reunion for National Day. I was a bit reluctant to leave before, hehe!"

"Closing for seven days isn't so bad, after enduring some bitterness, the dumplings might taste even better when I get to eat them again."

"..."

The noise from the students startled the cafeteria staff, who all peeked out the windows to see what was going on:

"What happened just now? Why was it so noisy outside?"

"I heard Boss Xiao Jiang is planning to close for the seven days during National Day, and the students are protesting, saying Boss Xiao Jiang is making life difficult..."

"These students, always making a fuss, anyone would think the sky was falling!"

"Well, you're wrong, for the students who come here for food every day, Boss Xiao Jiang closing is like the sky falling!"

"..."

"Everyone quiet down, stop shouting! There's more on the notice, it's not finished!"

Seeing most people wailing in despair, a girl at the front couldn't stand it any longer. She waved her arms and shouted loudly,

"The notice also says, from October 8, the store will relocate to the Seventh Dining Hall. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during the relocation. In advance, we wish all students a happy National Day!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the students were initially stunned, then began chattering away, putting aside the closure of the dumpling shop:

"No wonder it's closing, they're moving!"

"This dumpling shop is so small, even the chicken dishes have to be sold in limited quantities. I think they should've moved a long time ago!"

"Seventh Dining Hall? Does our school have a Seventh Dining Hall?"

"I've never heard of it, doesn't our school only have six dining halls? Where is the Seventh Dining Hall?"

"..."

"Everyone stop shouting! There's a simple location map at the bottom of the announcement, let me check!"

The enthusiastic girl, seeing everyone asking where the Seventh Dining Hall was, shouted again,

"The Seventh Dining Hall is the two-story building opposite the school stadium, originally 'Bodyle Fitness Club,' now renovated into a dining hall!"

As she spoke, some students in line suddenly realized, with a look of enlightenment:

"Oh, so it's the building opposite the stadium, there indeed was a fitness club there!"

"I've been to that fitness club, but it's a bit far from the dorm, so I didn't join. Isn't it better to buy dumbbells and workout in the dorm?"

"It's not only a bit far from the dorm, but also far from the classroom buildings. Do I have to run so far just to eat?"

"Haha, then don't go, we can go ourselves. The fewer people competing for delicious food, the better!"

"..."

The students' discussion was lively, and the other window's staff clearly heard the news, someone immediately chuckled:

"Oh, finally Boss Xiao Jiang is moving, staying here has students blocking his window every day, they don't even glance at ours!"

"Yeah, his food sells out, while ours doesn't. It's driving us worried!"

"Good thing he's moving; otherwise, we'll all be eating dirt at this rate!"

"..."

Having heard this, a head suddenly popped out from the noodle window next door with a "hehe" laugh, saying,

"Don't get happy too soon, with so many students at the Second Dining Hall, do you think they come for us? They're here for Boss Xiao Jiang!

Even if Boss Xiao Jiang moves to that Seventh Dining Hall, no matter how far it is, most students here will follow, our business might even get worse!"

"..."

The previously happy staff suddenly exchanged glances and, for a moment, didn't know what to say.

The hall of the cafeteria was bustling, but inside the soup dumpling shop, it was calm.

The breakfast service was about to begin, Yan Tongtong, Li Yue, and their team were busy with last preparations, while Jiang Yu, having finished making the hot and sour soup, returned to the kitchen to continue making soup dumplings.

Lu Shuwu placed a freshly made dumpling into the steamer next to him, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile:

"Boss, I told my sister that after dinner tomorrow, we'll be driving back overnight, you must make more chicken and soup dumplings, so I can pack some to bring home."

"Alright, you've mentioned it several times already."

Jiang Yu shook his head somewhat helplessly and said,

"Driving at night isn't safe, why not stay one more night and leave early the next morning?"

"It's fine, just for this time. I used to drive out at night often to have fun."

Lu Shuwu waved his hand carelessly and said, "Besides, Jiangzhou to Tanzhou isn't far, just a four-hour drive."

"Well, take care of yourself."

Jiang Yu nodded, not persuading further. He also planned to return home for the National Day holiday, but could only stay for a day or two before having to come back.

After all, the dining hall is still being renovated, various licenses need updating, and purchased items haven't been moved in, not to mention staff hasn't been hired yet...

So many things, all needing him to handle.
