"Finally, we are going back! The one-month training has torn me apart." Mao Dan fell on his seat on the spaceship in a low spirit.

Apart from Gu Bai, the other students shared similar thoughts with Mao Dan. They had talked a lot when they came over, but they kept silent when they were on their way back. Most of them closed their eyes, having no strength to say a word.

"We are lucky that our school gives us three days off to rest before class, or we will be exhausted," Mao Dan continued to say. As expected, he was as talkative as usual. "What do you three plan to do in the following three days?"

"Rest in the dormitory, I guess," Du Xiaoxing said. 

"Xiaoxing, I have to say this. You can't just spend so much time resting in the dormitory, but do more exercise and meet more people. If you do so, you won't be afraid of meeting people and being shy when facing strangers. If you continue like this, how could you have a girlfriend in the future? Listen to me, have a good rest in the dormitory today, and I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. You will love it there!" Mao Dan didn't give Du Xiaoxing any chance to say no, and then he looked at Gu Bai and Wen Yan.

"I have other things to deal with, so I won't go with you," Gu Bai said hurriedly.

It would be irresponsible if he continued to leave Fang Weixuan to deal with the Blue Star Restaurant businesses alone after a month.

"What about you?" Mao Dan asked Wen Yan.

"I get things to do as well," Wen Yan replied.

Mao Dan couldn't help twitching his mouth. "Why are you guys so busy? Fine, I'll take Xiaoxing with me tomorrow. You will regret it!"

Mao Dan was so proud when he finished his words, as if he was about to go to a nice place. Anyone who didn't go there would be their loss.

Gu Bai smiled helplessly, thinking that he would go to a nice place someday in the future.

The spaceship arrived at Imperial University before lunch. Most students went straight to their dormitories, among which a small majority of them were taken home by their drivers.

Gu Bai said goodbye to his friends and then took a fast car to leave school before he took a car to Blue Star Restaurant.

When Gu Bai appeared in the store, Fang Weixuan was shocked.

"Master Xiaobai, you're back?"

"Yes, I took the spaceship today," Gu Bai said with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance? Otherwise, I would have picked you up," Fang Weixuan wasn't glad to hear that.

Gu Bai said, "You must be busy after I left the store business to you last month. How could I bother you to pick me up?"

"I'm not busy at all. In fact, I'm used to it," Fang Weixuan said with a smile.

Fang Weixuan did have a few busy days in the beginning. Every day when he closed the store, all he had in mind was to go to sleep immediately. He didn't even have the strength to raise his finger.

In the past, he had also opened some restaurants. But as the boss, he didn't have to cook personally.

It wasn't until he became a chef that he realized how hard a chef was in the kitchen. He fried dishes again and again. Soon, he even wanted to leave and planned not to go to the kitchen ever again.

But he gave up the thought when he thought of the delicious dishes Gu Bai had made before. If he left, there was no way he could eat the meals again.

For the sake of food, Fang Weixuan clenched his teeth and stayed.

After the most chaotic few days, Fang Weixuan came up with the measures that the customers had to make time-restricted appointments. He only received certain guests every day. Once the customers were full, he wouldn't receive more but give the following customers some numbers, which said when they could have a meal in the restaurant. In this way, he had the customers appointed in advance.

Fang Weixuan had worried that the customers might be unhappy with the measures, so he hesitated because the customers might not take Blue Star into their considerations anymore.

If he owned this store, he would do whatever he wanted, but if he failed Gu Bai by doing so, he wouldn't know how to face Gu Bai.

Surprisingly, his appointment measure had attracted more customers. He already had enough customers for the next month, yet many new customers came to the restaurant for reservations every day.

In this way, Fang Weixuan only needed to prepare enough food for the number of customers he had ordered in advance. His work was easier, and he didn't miss any customers by doing so.

What a smart guy he was!

"Boss." At this moment, three familiar fellows emerged from the kitchen.

"So you are here. How have you been here?" Gu Bai asked.

The three men were Liu Dazhuang and his friends. Gu Bai had told Bulter Gu to send them here before.

Originally, Gu Bai planned to teach them how to cook some dishes so that they could run the business on M95 Planet. If so, people on M95 Planet could also enjoy the delicacies. Also, the store would consume certain crops, so he didn't have to worry about the storage and waste of food.

But things didn't go the way he had planned. He had gone for military training for a month and didn't have any time to care about his employees.

Fortunately, Fang Weixuan was still here, and it seemed that Liu Dazhuang and his friends were doing fine on the Central Star.

"We are doing fine here, boss. Fang has helped us find a place to live, and we come here to help every day. So we feel like home." Liu Dazhuang answered smilingly.

The three of them were shocked when they first learned that Gu Bai wanted them to go to the Central Star.

Although the M95 Planet was also part of the empire, it was at the edge of the empire and far away from other planets. Since people there were very poor, the residents didn't even have money to buy spaceship tickets even if there was convenient transportation.

In addition to a small number of rich people on the planet, other people who had spent their lives there had seldom had chances to go out of the planet, not to mention to go to the Central Star.

Those who couldn't afford the intelligent brains didn't even hear or see anything about the Central Star.

Therefore, the three of them were very excited about their trip. Also, they made up their minds that they had to work harder and talk less so that they wouldn't disgrace Gu Bai on the Central Star.

When they just got off the spaceship, they were stunned by the bustling streets on the Central Star. Everything was new to them, so they stared everywhere and didn't know where the exit was.

Luckily, Fang Weixuan soon found them and took them to the restaurant. If not, they had no idea how long they would stay at the station.

Later, they learned that Gu Bai was sent to participate in military training and wouldn't be back in a month, so they stayed in the restaurant to help.

Fortunately, they helped a lot in the restaurant on M95 Planet and were used to such works.

"That's good to hear. From tomorrow onwards, you can watch me cook. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. I have classes from Monday to Friday, and I'll come here when I have time." Gu Bai made the arrangement calmly, but his employees were astonished.

"Boss, are you going to teach us how to cook?" Liu Dazhuang asked in disbelief, for fear that he might misunderstand Gu Bai and make all of them embarrassed.

Gu Bai nodded. "The three of you are considered to be more talented among the workers, so I plan to teach you guys first. As for how much you can learn from me, that depends on you. If you can satisfy my requirements, I'll leave you the restaurant on M95 Planet. But you can't, you can still do your previous job on our planet."

Gu Bai told them all the requests in advance so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings later on.

He had requirements for their cooking skills. Although he thought the three of them were kind of talented, he only compared them with other workers on the farm. If they were not good enough, in the end, Gu Bai preferred to continue to close the store instead of letting the unqualified chefs run his business.

Even if there were requests, Liu Dazhuang and his friends had never dreamed about such an opportunity.

They had learned how the empire valued chefs and how valuable chefs were in the empire. Also, they knew how much money one could make when running a restaurant.

They never thought that they could learn how to cook one day, especially when they were learning it from Gu Bai. After all, Gu Bai made great dishes.

Although they didn't know what other chefs' dishes were like on the Central Star, they believed Gu Bai was the best!

"We won't let you down, boss!" Liu Dazhuang hurried to say, eyeing his friends to say the same.

"We won't, either!" The other two hurriedly declared.

Fang Weixuan heard their conversation and felt jealous. But on second thought, he thought he was special because Xiaobai taught him how to cook every day, even through video chats. Not everyone deserved such treatment.

Even if Xiaobai had more disciples in the future, he would still be Xiaobai's first disciple.

Thinking of this, Fang Weixuan felt much better.

Besides, Gu Bai didn't mention anything about accepting them as his disciples. He only mentioned teaching them some cooking skills so that they could run the business in Blue Star Restaurant.

They were apprentices at best.

As the eldest disciple of Gu Bai, Fang Weixuan believed it was his duty to help Gu Bai teach his apprentices from time to time.

"Don't worry, Master Xiaobai. They can stay here with me when you have classes. I'll be available when they have questions," Fang Weixuan said immediately, showing Liu Dazhuang and his friends his position at the same time.

"Wouldn't that be too troublesome?" Gu Bai was awkward.

He seemed to have been bothering Fang Weixuan ever since he arrived at the Central Star.

"Of course not. I'm your disciple, okay? I'll be happy as long as you teach me more skills to make dishes." Fang Weixuan joked and took the chance to make a request.

Gu Bai thought about it and felt it was reasonable. He could teach Fang Weixuan more dishes during the earth period, which seemed popular in this era.

In the end, Liu Dazhuang and his friends temporarily settled down on the Central Star.
