Chapter 171: Closing Down...Good riddance, self-inflicted

When Xiang Chen learned that someone had caused trouble at the clothing store, not only was the matter already resolved, but there were already results for the aftermath.

It was because he had been incredibly busy lately. There was a recent project at the department, and many senior professors were called upon to work on it. Xiang Chen had been assisting them with classes, and helping to organize materials and notes.

He made countless trips to the library, filling several notebooks. Besides the mandatory professional courses, he even had to help out with basic courses for freshmen.

Xiang Chen was so busy that his head was spinning. He couldn't even think about the snack shop. Thankfully, with Auntie Huang and Uncle Ge around, Uncle Ge could handle kitchen matters, and as long as the current situation of the snack shop remained stable, Xiang Chen didn't need to run around.

He had been at school for almost half a month, with Auntie Huang bringing him meals, or sometimes Xu Hengzhou would come to eat with him. Knowing how busy Xiang Chen was, Xu Hengzhou naturally wouldn't bother him with these matters until Xiang Chen had finished everything on his plate. That was when he heard about the incident at the clothing store.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Xiang Chen widened his eyes, looking at Xu Hengzhou sitting opposite him.

After returning home, he took a refreshing hot shower and then fell into a deep sleep. Now that he was awake, the chef had prepared a delicious meal for him, with Uncle Ge and Auntie Huang joining in. The table was filled with dishes he loved. Xiang Chen was about to dig in when he heard the news.

"Have your meal first," Xu Hengzhou said, picking up a piece of ribs for him. Seeing Xiang Chen slowly nibbling, he then explained what had happened.

Xiang Chen swallowed the meat and took a few sips of the rich and creamy fish head tofu soup. Auntie Huang had heard that eating fish was good for the brain, so she specially made it for him.

"So it's already resolved now?" Xiang Chen asked. "Who was the mastermind behind it? Have they been punished?"

"Who else could it be?!" Xu Hengzhou sneered, directly mocking, "That so-called 'Bright Clothing Store.' Since its opening, it's been nothing but imitation. Just look at the store name, you'll know. We're called Sunshine, and they're called Bright. It's truly ridiculous. 'Bright'? Why don't they go sell glasses instead?"

Although he had always criticized the name Sunshine as being too ordinary, it was still chosen by Xiang Chen. He could complain about it in his heart, but seeing someone imitating it, Xu Hengzhou had been holding back his anger. Now that the problem had landed in his lap, it would be strange if Xu Hengzhou didn't act. He wouldn't be satisfied until he knocked out a couple of teeth.

It was rare to see Xu Hengzhou express such clear dislike towards someone. Xiang Chen blinked, thinking to himself that Xu Hengzhou seemed to value their store name quite a bit. Just as he had thought, the name Sunshine rolled off the tongue smoothly. It wasn't tacky at all; it was merely Xu Hengzhou's insincere words.

However, Xiang Chen still gave Xu Hengzhou some face and didn't express his thoughts. Otherwise, Xu Hengzhou wouldn't just leave it at that. He would probably make the unfortunate Bright Clothing Store remember this incident.
