At 7:20 the next morning, Cheng Si arrived at the cafeteria early according to the message Jin Li sent yesterday. There were not many people in the cafeteria at that time.

The military training started at 8:30 in the morning, and Cheng Si probably understood that Jin Li just wanted to avoid the peak period for breakfast.

Cheng Si had just picked up his meal when he heard a girl calling him. Cheng Si looked in that direction and saw Feng Yingying waving her hands stiffly at him.

Cheng Si walked over there. Next to him were the people from the Propaganda Department whom he had met yesterday. They were all a little listless and were eating porridge in small sips. Cheng Si found a seat and sat down.

He asked puzzledly, "Senior, why are you all in school?" Today is Saturday and according to the rules, everyone should be on holiday except for those in military training and senior high school students.

"Don't say anything, it's Minister Jin Bapi's request," Feng Yingying yawned, half-closed her eyes, and spoke weakly, "Is it easy for us? We got up earlier than those in military training!"

Cheng Si, who was supposed to be undergoing military training, "..."

A few people nearby coughed a few times as if their throats were uncomfortable.

Feng Yingying ignored them and ate a big mouthful of porridge to vent her anger. She continued, "You said we should get up early, it's not impossible, but he hasn't even come yet, and he wants us to get up so early. Junior brother, do you think he is a bad guy?"

"What about me?" Jin Li suddenly said in a low voice.

Feng Yingying was so frightened awake that she glared at the group of people standing beside her who were silent, as if to say, why didn’t you remind her?

Everyone was speechless and was hinting wildly. I was about to cough out my lungs. Why didn’t I remind you?

"How could that be possible? Minister, when did you come? Have you eaten? How about I treat you?" Feng Yingying smiled ingratiatingly.

Jin Li didn't say anything, he just smiled at her, "Take your time to eat," and then he glanced at the people around him, "The plan was sorted out yesterday, so everyone will have to hurry up and finish the filming in the next two days."

Jin Li's general idea was to try to finish the filming when everyone was free in these two days so as not to affect their class time, and he would make up for any missing parts later.

After that, he glanced at the group of people and said, "If the progress is fast, I will treat you when we are done. You can decide the seats."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people became more cheerful. Another boy whistled happily, and it was obvious that he found this very tempting.

Several members of the department were full of energy for the meal. They finished their meal in a short while and greeted Jin Li with great energy before leaving. "Minister, I'm going to work first!"

Jin Lili responded with a smile, and in the end, only Cheng Si, who came to eat last, was left. He was stunned, looking at the man who made these people do this, and said in his heart, "What a deep routine, it's very similar to what his boss said to them when he was working and brainwashing them."

But Cheng Si also knew that Jin Li was sincere in saying this, and when he came out of his thoughts, he saw Jin Li still sitting next to him.

Cheng Si was confused and felt a little pressure for some reason. He sighed inwardly. Everyone disliked him for eating too slowly. Others were working while he was still eating. However, he was also confused as to why he, a non-staff member, had to work so hard. Although he thought so in his mind, his eating speed became much faster.

Jin Li didn't know what was going on in Cheng Si's mind at the moment. He just saw him eating faster and faster, with his cheeks bulging. He looked cute and a little funny, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is this delicious?"

Cheng Si didn't understand what was going on. He just felt that what he said was a bit eerie. Was he dissatisfied with him for eating too slowly? But he was already eating very fast. Why was he rushing him? How inhumane!!!

Cheng Si didn't show it on his face, but he was a little helpless. Rizi was older than him now, so why was he so afraid of him? He adjusted his mood, slowly finished the food in his mouth, pursed his lips, and said lightly, "Not bad."

"Oh, really? But you tasted delicious." Jin Li said slowly, and then for some reason a pitiful expression appeared on his face, "I haven't eaten yet, and I'm a little hungry now."

Cheng Si was stunned for a moment, silent for a while, took a breath, and pointed to the window, "You can go buy it, it's at that window."

Jin Li looked in the direction he pointed, then looked at Cheng Si and said as a matter of course, "I know where it is."

Under Cheng Si's puzzled gaze, Jin Li continued slowly, "But I can't afford it."

Cheng Si's face was full of question marks???

Who was the one who just made the bold statement that he would treat all the staff in their department to a meal?

Finally, Jin Li seemed to be in a pitiful state as he had no money to eat. Cheng Si numbly went to the window to buy the same wontons for Jin Li as he did for himself.

After Cheng Si left his seat, Jin Li looked at Cheng Si who was picking up food at the window and curled his lips nonchalantly, "The little boy is so cute!"

Cheng Si didn't notice Jin Li's condition. When he came back, Jin Li had already put on a faint smile and took the bowl. "Thank you, junior."

Cheng Si didn't say anything, and the two of them had breakfast in peace.

As for the Propaganda and Strategy Department, Cheng Si did not have any tasks in the morning. All his work was done in the evening. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Jin Li asked him to stay in the activity room of the Propaganda and Strategy Department to organize materials with Feng Yingying and others.

It was soon time for dinner in the busy schedule. Cheng Si bought food for his roommate in advance just like he did yesterday. He thought about the pitiful things Jin Li said that morning.

Recalling the morning cafeteria——

After Jin Li said he couldn't afford to eat, he looked at Cheng Si's obvious disbelief and then told her the half-truth, "My card ran out of money yesterday because you guys swiped it. The aunt who topped it up today didn't go to work and had to come back on Monday to top it up, so I can't eat."

After the reminiscences, Cheng Si reluctantly bought a meal for Jin Li. He looked at the money in his card and swiped it several times for each person. There was not much money left. He had to recharge it on Monday.

……

Two days passed quickly, and the roommates had become accustomed to accepting the meals bought by Cheng Si, but they never asked Cheng Si to treat them again.

The day after Cheng Si invited him, Wu Zisheng gave him his card. Cheng Si used his card to order inexpensive dishes for him, and then used his own card to order some good dishes for him.

It was done secretly. As for Xin Yisong, Su Luoyin and Hou Zuocheng, the three of them secretly transferred 300 yuan each to Cheng Si as money for Cheng Si to buy food for the next few days. They privately bombarded Cheng Si and asked him to keep the money. Cheng Si had no choice but to accept it all.

Lin Zhi didn't have this awareness. He had a good relationship with Cheng Si and knew that Cheng Si would not accept it even if he gave it to him, so he would not do such a thing. He would just buy the same thing for Cheng Si whatever he bought for himself.

Cheng Si felt helpless and amused about his behavior, but didn't say anything. He just kept whatever he bought.

Compared with these people, Jin Li seemed to be more justified, as his roommate who knew how to be grateful and soft-hearted when receiving favors from others was much more reasonable. After two meals with Cheng Si, he seemed to have found Cheng Si's weakness.

Later on, he found various ways to get Cheng Si to buy him meals, specifically to take advantage of Cheng Si. Then, for the next two meals, he learned how to order dishes.

Even people in his department who knew about this praised him for being shameless.

Jin Li raised his eyebrows and accepted it with a smile.

Cheng Si also felt that he was being exploited, but he had no choice but to accept it. During the two days of filming, Cheng Si served as an interviewer, and the first person he interviewed was Huatielu.
