Panzi said that his restaurant had been open for seven or eight years. Business wasn't good at first, but fortunately there was a middle school nearby, and the business was entirely supported by these fifteen- and sixteen-year-old kids. Because of this, Panzi had never raised his prices for them since the restaurant opened. After they got to know each other well, the students stopped calling him "Boss" and started calling him "Old Pan".
Yet Old Pan's life was truly hard. He had taken half a lifetime of savings along with the profits from the restaurant over the past few years and used all of it to sponsor impoverished students, leaving himself with only a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses.
Old Meng felt deeply distressed for him, but since Panzi found joy in it himself, Old Meng didn't know what to say.
