Chapter 2091 - 2292: Outing Plans
The two of them walked like this and quickly arrived at the milk tea shop. Actually, Hao Jian didn't want to come to such a place with Zhang Danlin, because usually, Xiaohai, that girl, liked to come to these places a bit too. If he bumped into her at this time, wouldn't it be game over? Fortunately, after entering the milk tea shop, he scanned around and confirmed that Xiaohai wasn't there, feeling relieved afterward. However, at this moment, Zhang Danlin looked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you checking if Xiaohai is around? You're afraid she's here too, right?" Hao Jian was secretly startled, thinking that girls are really scary, this little thought was discovered by her without a sound. But he still argued, immediately nodding and saying, "No way, I'm just looking for the tea shop with more people, thinking it might taste better if it's more crowded." "Oh!" Zhang Danlin responded, knowing Hao Jian was lying, so she didn't bother with him anymore. The two of them entered the milk tea shop and casually found a spot to sit down. Zhang Danlin ordered a cup of milk tea and asked Hao Jian what he wanted to order, Hao Jian just said the same because he didn't particularly like milk tea and didn't know which would taste better. Thus, the two of them sat at their seats. To cover his awkwardness and not know what to say, Hao Jian kept sipping his milk tea. At this time, Zhang Danlin took out a small notebook from her backpack. "What's this?" Hao Jian asked. Zhang Danlin opened the notebook and said, "It's about our class outing, I asked you here to discuss this matter." Hao Jian was a bit surprised. Didn't Li Weiwei already arrange this with him? Why call Zhang Danlin too? Apparently, it's believed that a male-female team is less exhausting, so they called Zhang Danlin. After all, a guy can handle the overall situation, but there are always some things involving girls that a guy shouldn't ask or meddle in, so Li Weiwei called Zhang Danlin for help, which is quite reasonable. But since it's about this matter, he relaxed. As long as it wasn't about today's lunch, he wouldn't worry, and his face eased into relief. Zhang Danlin saw his relaxed demeanor and knew what Hao Jian was thinking without needing much thought. Seeing him ease down, she also thought, if Hao Jian avoided her and wouldn't talk or meet because he feared she'd bring up today's lunch or Xiaohai's cousin's matter, it would be miserable. It would be better to not mention these issues so she could chat with Hao Jian and enjoy a meal or drink milk tea together. Thinking this, a smile formed on her face, and she opened the notebook to discuss with Hao Jian, "The teacher thought it would be too exhausting for you to organize this outing alone, so they asked me to help you." "Mm, got it," Hao Jian nodded. He didn't know how Zhang Danlin knew about this, but one thing was certain, Li Weiwei didn't actively tell her. Even if Li Weiwei needed someone, she'd ask He Qiqi as Qiqi is the class monitor and knows the classmates well, usually directly going to her if there's anything. So, it's impossible she approached Zhang Danlin for this matter. The only explanation is Zhang Danlin heard about this somehow and took the initiative to find Li Weiwei. Since someone volunteered, naturally Li Weiwei wouldn't refuse, and agreed to Zhang Danlin's offer. The whole story went roughly like this, and quickly Hao Jian filtered through it mentally. "I checked the weather, the week after next is perfect, neither cold nor hot, sunny and comfortably warm, ideal for an outing," Zhang Danlin said, "If we set it for next week, it might be rushed, considering we haven't arranged transportation or accommodation issues yet, but the weather is nice the week after next, and there's more time, so it's best to set it for then." Next week involves Gu Peng's thing, and Liang Yuwei will be coming from Hua City, scheduling for the week after next works best. After hearing Zhang Danlin's suggestion, Hao Jian didn't say much, just nodded and agreed. Zhang Danlin was thrilled that her suggestion was accepted, saying, "Then it's settled for the week after next. With the timing set, we can now work on the other tasks." Hao Jian said, "Okay! You can make the decisions, just inform me if there's something I need to do." He initially worried about this, organization wasn't just for a few people but a class of dozens, so many details and tasks, if all handled by him, would certainly be exhausting. So now with Zhang Danlin jumping in to help, he's more than pleased. Zhang Danlin clearly did her homework, he wasn't sure how she managed to accomplish so much in such a short time, the small notebook was densely packed with text, including transportation companies, contacts, and gaming guides at each location. Hao Jian looked over, feeling impressed internally, surprised at how meticulous Zhang Danlin was. "I checked the bus companies, the ones listed here are good, customer reviews are positive and the pricing is reasonable. Among them, Spring Travel and Traveling Thousands of Miles are pretty good, cooperating with our school, and I contacted them, we've talked, prices are manageable, choosing from them is best." Zhang Danlin said. Hao Jian took the documents Zhang Danlin handed him, reviewed them quickly, then said, "Let's go with Spring Travel." Zhang Danlin listened and crossed out Traveling Thousands of Miles, keeping Spring Travel. As for why Hao Jian chose Spring Travel, it was simply because the name sounded better. Subsequently, Zhang Danlin presented several recommended places for discussion. The two debated, trimming eight places down to four, deciding to consult the class to finalize the choice. Given they hadn't confirmed locations, accommodation and dining couldn't be set yet. Thus, the discussion ended here, with other tasks to follow once the destination was chosen. Class time was nearing, Hao Jian and Zhang Danlin tidied up their things and adjourned to the classroom. During a break, Zhang Danlin informed Li Weiwei of the discussion, Li Weiwei was amazed at Zhang Danlin's efficiency, praised her, then offered her input, finally reducing four proposed trip locations to two. These were brought up at a forthcoming class meeting to solicit peer opinions before making decisions and sorting lodging and meal arrangements. The day wrapped up busily, tomorrow being Friday, after Friday's classes, rest follows, and Saturday afternoon Hao Jian plans to take Lin Dongyang and Baldy to negotiate business with the Axe Gang. Though it's called a negotiation, only Hao Jian really knows what "negotiation" entails. The next day quickly arrived, most morning classes involved core subjects, Friday afternoon had only two classes, with the last session set for the class meeting. The morning passed swiftly, arriving at the last class where Li Weiwei came early and discussed matters with Zhang Danlin. As class started, when organizing the outing was announced by Li Weiwei, the class erupted. Routine studies at school were exhausting, the sudden chance for a class trip sparked excitement in all. Li Weiwei kept the idea quiet initially because of uncertainty regarding its feasibility, thus no one knew, but upon announcement, understandably, everyone was thrilled, even diligent students like He Qiqi were visibly excited hearing about the class trip. Li Weiwei stood on stage and had to tap it several times for the class to quiet down. Then Zhang Danlin took the stage discussing the two locations: one was the Ancient Town, and the other the Forest Park. The Ancient Town offers tranquility, a chance to experience local culture and slow-paced life, allowing engagement in activities. In contrast, Forest Park promises hiking, muscle exercise, and the promotion of class unity, with possibilities for picnicking. Subsequently, Zhang Danlin detailed both locations, both situated in Yun City, city outskirts but relatively close to downtown, so the class generally was aware without much intro needed. However, Zhang Danlin provided thorough information, offering extra references for the class. After Zhang Danlin finished, the voting began to see which location garnered more interest, sealing the choice. A few minutes later, results emerged unsurprisingly with ten votes for Forest Park, the rest opting for the Ancient Town.
