The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 133 Time Delay Device

Lin Xi's mouth was dry from talking. "Ahem, Director, what do you think? Wouldn't it be better not to merge them?"

Gong Ming nodded, "Yes, you're right, then we won't merge."

"Director, there are other advantages to not merging..."

"Huh? What? The merger isn't happening?"

You agreed so easily?

Lin Xi and Su Yushan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Su Yushan rubbed his reddened eyes and tentatively asked, "Really not merging?"

Gong Ming found it amusing. "What's wrong? I'm not a bad person. I always put the students first. Since there are more benefits to not merging, why would I go through all this trouble and get nothing in return?"

Then he looked at the stunned Lin Xi and teased, "Besides, if I don't agree, you, my student, will keep nagging like Tang Sanzang, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this room until dark."

Lin Xi smiled sheepishly; that was indeed her plan.

I've wanted to help the old principal for a long time, but I haven't had the chance.

Unexpectedly, the instigator himself walked right into the trap, so he had no choice but to seize the opportunity.

"Hehe, Director, thank you. You are truly wise, decisive, and farsighted..."

Xiao Yi: Is this still the same socially anxious host?

Haha, if the profit is big enough, the sweet talk will be sweet enough. That's right, that's how opportunistic they are.

Gong Ming knew the girl was flattering him, but he still enjoyed it and felt that his decision was wise.

Su Yushan held Gong Ming's hand tightly, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

The conversation lasted longer than the exam itself.

Gong Ming was showered with flattery and walked out of Sulin Elementary School feeling refreshed.

Lin Xi and Su Yushan looked at each other and smiled. "Principal, the school has been saved!"

"Xiao Xi, the school has been saved!"

With the matter settled, Lin Xi received a system notification to help Su Yushan save Su Lin Elementary School and rescue fifteen dropouts...

The students, who were on holiday, were still having fun at home, unaware that their fate had been changed.

That evening, Lin Xi received a system notification that she had passed the grade-skipping exam with a perfect score and was rewarded with a chance to win a prize.

It seems the papers have been graded.

That's right, Dong Yongshu excitedly performed five sets of military boxing that night.

Lin Xixin was overjoyed, rubbing her hands together, eager to try.

Xiao Yi said that if she saved up two draws and then drew them together, she would get something unexpectedly good. So after the final exam results came out, she refrained from drawing any prizes.

The meticulously prepared lottery ceremony was complete. In his mind: [Ding! Time Delay Device: One hour inside the machine equals three hours outside. Unlimited usage time.]

In the open space of the room, a square glass cabin appeared, the glass clean and transparent, as if it did not exist.

It feels cold to the touch.

Lin Xi was so happy she almost cried. Tongzi was so good, so considerate.

I was just complaining about not having enough time a few days ago, and then Xiao Yi gave me a time delay device. One day can be used as three days!

"Waaaaah, Xiao Yi, why don't you have a physical form? I want to hug you so much! You are my Doraemon, waaaaah..."

Xiao Yi was moved when it saw its host with tears streaming down its face. In fact, it had a physical body, but it couldn't bring itself to the host.

"Host, place your palm on it for five seconds, and the delay device will automatically unlock. No one but you can open it."

Sure enough, five seconds later, one of the glass windows opened, and Lin Xi moved the table and chairs that Xiao Yi had given her inside. They fit perfectly, without any gaps.

Place your palm on it for another five seconds, and the glass door will close automatically.

That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!

Three hours later, she came out of the glass chamber, glanced at the clock, and realized only an hour had passed.

If a bed could fit inside, she'd love to sleep right there in it; it would save so much time!

Lin Dayuan has no time to slow down; he's been incredibly busy these past few days.

He had to move to the city before the start of the school year, so he needed to get everything settled at the shop, especially Liu Erli's hot pot cooking skills: what to put in first, what to put in last, how long to cook each ingredient, how to mix the seasonings, how to make the soup base...

There are many things to teach.

Liu Er studied very diligently and his skills improved by leaps and bounds, but he would secretly shed a few tears from time to time.

On the one hand, she was reluctant to part with Lin Dayuan, and on the other hand, she was under too much psychological pressure.

Da Yuan said that he would be the store manager from now on, and everything in the store would be handed over to him. He also raised his salary to five thousand.

He should have been happy, but he felt empty and incredibly anxious.

What if customers don't like his cooking? What if business goes bad? What if something unexpected happens? What if...

Liu Erli is an honest farmer. If you ask him to do something, he'll definitely do it perfectly. But he just doesn't have much of his own opinion.

It would be really difficult for him to be the store manager.

Lin Dayuan knew this, but Liu Erli was his brother, and he always wanted to help him out. Everyone needs to be trained, and this was a great opportunity.

He looked at Liu Erli, who was squatting in the corner looking sullen, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder. "Erli, it's not difficult at all. It's just cooking some spicy hot pot. You just need to be careful. Tian Lei and the others are good people, so you don't need to worry about them. You've already learned how to keep accounts pretty well. What else is there to worry about?"

"Everything is as usual. I will come back to see you often, after all, I still have to bring you cookies."

These days, Liu Erli receives bone-strengthening biscuits every two weeks, and he even bought a safe to store them.

"Dayuan, I'm not sure about this. Can you give me half a day off? I need to buy a new phone so I can contact you if I have any problems in the future."

Seeing that Liu Erli was like an insecure child, Lin Dayuan nodded helplessly, "Go!"

With a mobile phone, he probably won't be so anxious.

Since working for the Lin family, Liu Erli has saved up a lot of money, more than enough to buy a cell phone, but he feels it's unnecessary.

These days, his cell phone is his lifesaver.

Whenever the future Vice President Liu recalls how he used to be so hesitant and timid when managing a store, he is filled with emotion. That's not his dark history, but the path he came from...

Lin Xi's phone rang, and an unfamiliar female voice came from the other end, "Xiao Xi, the movie premiere is the day after tomorrow, you absolutely have to come!..."

It turned out to be producer Liu Pei.

She's been incredibly busy these past few months, rushing to finish filming before the summer season.

Lin Xi almost forgot about this, so she quickly asked for the address and told him that she would bring her family there the day after tomorrow.

On the day of the press conference, the entire Lin family arrived together, dressed in brand-new clothes.

Lin Dayuan straightened his collar. "Xiao Xi, do you see if my tie is crooked?"

"Dad, it's not crooked, it's right in the center line."

Lin Guojun was breathing heavily. "Xiao Xi, why am I having trouble breathing?"

"Hey, Grandpa, just unbutton the top button of your shirt."

Lin Guiying smoothed her hair. "Xiaoxi, is my hair messy?"

"Grandma, it's so neat and tidy, even a mosquito would have to do the splits if it landed on it."

Lin Guojun: "Xiao Xi, doesn't it look bad if you unbutton it? Your collar won't stand up straight."

Lin Xi was speechless. "Family members, don't be nervous. Your idol won't look that closely."
