After dinner, Ji Yijun prepared to take Aura to the nearby commercial district, where several clothing stores, daily necessities stores, and food stores had already opened. Although the goods were far less than the grocery street behind the library before, these goods were all produced in this world, so there was no need to worry about running out of supplies. Moreover, compared with goods produced in other parts of the kingdom, Chinese goods not only had many new things that had never been heard of, but even similar goods were more uniquely designed and of better quality.
Krete took Ji Yijun and Aola to the recycling area with their plates. At this time, seven or eight people came in.
One of them said, "There are no restaurants or bars open in the commercial district yet. I will treat you to a good meal next time you come. Today we will just stay in the school cafeteria. Although it is a cafeteria, the food is not bad. I will say hello to the chef in the cafeteria and make a few more side dishes for you so that you can taste the flavor of our hometown."
A voice that was obviously from a local area said, "Oh, Mr. Chu, that's great. I had the honor of trying the chocolate you brought from your hometown. It was so delicious. I wanted to bring some for my granddaughter, but I couldn't help but eat it all myself before I got home, haha."
"Haha, Mr. Dorion, chocolate is just one of the snacks in our hometown. Today we are eating Chinese food. That's something very different."
Ji Yijun took a quick glance and saw that it was Chu Ying, the business team leader, who brought a few local businessmen and their bodyguards to the cafeteria for dinner. He didn't pay much attention and walked towards the door. Unexpectedly, after two steps, Aura did not catch up. Instead, he stood with his hands on his hips and stared at Chu Ying and his group angrily.
"What's the matter? Are you still leaving?" Ji Yijun returned to her side.
"Look, look, why are they going to the front of the line? Why do I, a descendant of the royal family and a mid-level knight, need to queue? A few lowly merchants who have no ability don't have to? Could it be that what you just said was just a lie to deceive me?" Ola looked angry on the surface, but she was secretly amused in her heart. The meal was finished, and she didn't want to make a fuss about the queue, but it was fun to annoy Ji Yijun and make him speechless.
Ji Yijun narrowed his eyes and looked at those people. He saw Chu Ying leading the merchants to the front, pushing aside the students who had lined up, and handing a few plates to the merchants who were full of food, saying, "Everyone, please order whatever you want. Students have a limited amount, but we don't."
"Look, I just wanted to eat one more fried egg, and you said no." Ola fanned the flames again, but she thought Ji Yijun would just curse at her at most. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yijun shot out like an arrow.
As soon as Mr. Dorion put his plate toward the window, a finger pressed it against the countertop, and the plate would not budge no matter how hard he pushed or pulled it.
"If you want to eat, you have to line up first. This is the rule of the school cafeteria." Ji Yijun stared at Dorion and said word by word.
"This..." Dorion turned around and asked Chu Ying for help.
Chu Ying was completely confused when he saw this scene, and asked loudly: "What's going on? Ji Yijun, what's wrong with you?"
"I said if you want to eat, you have to line up first. Everyone should understand what I mean, right?" He took three steps forward, and the plate moved with him, and Dorion had to stagger back.
Chu Ying threw down his plate, ran to Ji Yijun, and said in a low voice: "Ji Yijun! What are you doing? These are big merchants from all over the country, ready to purchase our products..."
"What the hell is it to me? I said I want to eat, so I'll line up first. Do you know that my temper has improved a lot now? I can say the same thing to you three times?"
Chu Ying was so angry that he pointed his finger at his nose and shouted, "This is a business that the committee attaches great importance to. Ji Yijun, don't be so stupid!"
Ji Yijun sighed and ignored him. He turned to a little boy behind him and said, "Is it your turn now? Hurry up and serve the rice. The chef in the cafeteria is waiting anxiously."
"Yeah." The boy made a face at Chu Ying and the others and put the plate on the window. The canteen chef shrugged and shouted, "Come on, everyone continue to line up and serve your food one by one. Little guy, which dish do you want?"
"Ji Yijun! Now that your father is gone, do you think no one can deal with you?" Chu Ying grabbed his shoulders, but unexpectedly, Ji Yijun suddenly burst out with a fighting spirit, which exploded in Chu Ying's direction, sending him flying and falling to the ground.
Chu Ying was not young, and he fell on his back, which made him dazed.
Ji Yijun turned around, glanced at the man on the ground, and said, "Damn idiot."
He looked at the businessmen again. There were two bodyguards behind them blocking them.
"Oh, you want to fight? Do you know what happened to the last outsider who tried to fight here?" Ji Yijun put his hand on the hilt of the sword, looking eager to try. "They are still hanging on the edge of the square to dry. Do you want me to give you a ride?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other, not daring to take any more action, and just stood in front of the businessmen.
—————————
Ji Yijun's series of performances really surprised Aura. She asked Crete: "Who is the one lying on the ground?"
"That's Chu Ying, the leader of the business team." said Crete.
"How high of an official rank is the head of the business team?"
Crete thought for a moment and made an analogy: "If we use the royal court as an analogy, it should be the Minister of Commerce. He is in charge of the Chinese's foreign trade here."
"That means his status is much higher than Ji Yijun's?"
"Of course. Brother Ji is the chief of a police station in the resettlement camp management office. He is equivalent to a city's sheriff, right? The power of the two people is very different."
At this time, Ola was a little anxious: "What should I do? If I hadn't teased him, he wouldn't have clashed with that man. The Minister of Commerce was defeated by him, will he turn around and retaliate against him? If it were in the kingdom, it would be easy for a minister to chop off the sheriff's head."
Seeing her anxious look, Krete comforted her, "Sister Aola, although Brother Ji is impulsive, he is not stupid. Just watch."
Ola looked at the boy with some suspicion, but seeing that he was very confident, he suppressed the urge to rush over to help.

Chu Ying yelled on the ground: "Ji Yijun, you are finished."
"Don't forget, I'm the chief of the police station at the campground management office. If you guys disturb public order, aren't I responsible for that? Also, you hit someone first, and I was just fighting back in self-defense."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"How can you say such nonsense?" Ji Yijun sneered and asked the students and teachers who were still queuing, "Students, do you think these people who come to eat and don't queue up disrupt the order of everyone's eating?"
When the children saw someone cutting in line, they instinctively felt that it was unfair. Seeing Ji Yijun stop these people, they were already very excited, so Ji Yijun really responded to their call. The children shouted loudly: "Yes!"
"Then I'll take care of them and teach them how to line up, right?"
"right!"
"And this guy, was he the first to attack? Did any of you see it?"
"I saw it. He was the first to hit someone."
"I saw that, too."
"He was the one who came to catch you first. You didn't do anything, brother. I have to know this clearly."
The children were very enthusiastic in giving proof to Ji Yijun.
"You little brats, stop talking nonsense!" Chu Ying roared in anger.
"Not only did the children see it, I saw it too. You were the one who cut in line first and started it first." Teacher Xiaolian stepped forward and said, without even looking at Ji Yijun. "I don't care what this person did, but I can't let my students be slandered and talked about."
"I saw it too." The chef in the cafeteria also said, "Xiao Ji was talking to the child in front of me with his back to him."
Chu Ying had already stood up from the ground. He didn't want to stay here any longer and muttered, "They're all crazy, all crazy." Then he limped out of the cafeteria.
Ji Yijun looked at Chu Ying's back happily and clasped his fists to the people around him. "Classmates, teachers, and dear canteen chef, thank you all. I, Ji Yijun, owe you a favor. I will get some candy tomorrow and everyone here will have a share."
"Oh~~" the children all cheered.
"Xiao Lian, thank you. I didn't expect..."
"roll!"
Several businessmen and their bodyguards looked at what was happening in front of them, at a loss. Ji Yijun waved his hand to let the two bodyguards back off. He put his hand on Dorion's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, old man. From the beginning, I want to teach you only one thing: you have to abide by our rules here. If you want to eat, you have to line up. If you want to poop, you have to go to the toilet. The same applies to doing business, you have to be trustworthy. Now, please go to the back of the line and line up again? We serve Chinese food here, I guarantee you have never tasted it. It's worth it no matter how long you wait in line!"
"Uh, no, no, my lord knight. We can find something to eat by ourselves. I'd better take my leave first." Dorion saw that Ji Yijun was a master of fighting spirit and had driven away Chu Ying, so his attitude immediately changed.
"No, I can't bear the reputation of driving away merchants. Our goods are good, you still want to do business, right? Then do what you should do! Don't you guys want to give me this face?"
Dorion actually didn't know what face meant, but seeing the situation, he had to go without eating. After exchanging glances, a few people walked to the end of the line and lined up obediently.
Ji Yijun returned to Aola and raised his eyebrows: "How is it? I said there are rules, so I abide by them, right?"
Ola lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have provoked you."
"No, you're right. I won't do this today. What I said to you before is all nonsense. There are always people who take advantage of privileges everywhere. I finally started over here, but it's been a few days and it's like this again. I'm just so angry, and I'm going to fight them from now on."
"But can you manage it? I don't believe that this business team leader is not like this all the time. What if you didn't see it?"
"Isn't this just a rat? Beat it up every time you see it!" He pointed at the students who were excitedly discussing in the team, "Besides, I'm not alone."
Seeing Ola in deep thought, Ji Yijun secretly sighed, but being stubborn by nature, he quickly regained his spirits and patted Krit on the shoulder and said, "Krit, run a trip for your brother Ji to find Chen Hansheng in Room 403 of the Administration Building. As the deputy head of the business team, it's time for him to clean up my mess."
