Isn’t it usually limited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng was eating, nodding while she ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got lucky; someone happened to donate a lamb to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Wang chuckled, not believing a word!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng acted like she couldn’t understand why, saying: \"It’s true. A few days ago, they hosted some foreign guests who had hot pot, and the chef was even praised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably the higher-ups saw how well the chef made hot pot and specially approved a lamb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Principal Wang heard about the foreign guests, he knew Jiang Cheng had a hand in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the attendant was so enthusiastic earlier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Jiang Cheng boosted their business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hot pot continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were almost done eating, Principal Wang casually asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, what happened with those foreigners in the end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng’s eyes instantly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her favorite moment had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng barely lifted her head, not bothering to glance, casually said: \"Just the usual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Teacher Yu tried to console her and said: \"It’s okay, Jiang Cheng, you’re already very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, just... if I were a bit more outstanding, the foreign exchange order wouldn’t be limited to thirty-six thousand US dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Yu, about to chew on his lamb, forgot to, and the prepared Principal Wang had his pupils quaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized Jiang Cheng was deliberately teasing, but thirty-six thousand US dollars was an unimaginable figure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Wang’s hands trembled, gulping a few times, finally rediscovering his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you say thirty-six... thousand... US dollars?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng earnestly nodded at Principal Wang: \"Yes, although the amount isn’t huge, the contracts have all been signed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Teacher Yu finally came to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty-six thousand... that’s enough to bury ten of me, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Wang disagreed, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you talking?
