The Canteen Auntie's Counterattack

share time: 2026-02-24 00:36:48

40-year-old Lin Xiaoman works as an "invisible auntie" in a top business school canteen to pay for her seriously ill daughter's medical bills—students complain her dishes are "worse than thesis writing," the supervisor deducts her salary, and even her serving spoon is smaller than others'. Until one day, Shen Yanchuan, the newly returned school director of the business school, bursts into the canteen, grabs her hand, and shouts "Sister Man"—ten years ago, when he was homeless, Lin Xiaoman gave him a bowl of hot porridge. Lin Xiaoman refuses his luxury car help, saying "I can manage on my own," but Shen Yanchuan insists on pretending to be a canteen helper: he defends her against picky "elite students," retrieves her deducted salary, and secretly arranges foreign experts for her daughter. Just as Lin Xiaoman gradually lowers her guard, Shen Yanchuan suddenly takes out a canteen contract—turns out he bought the entire building long ago. All he did was not just repayment, but because "the aroma of that porridge ten years ago has stayed with me for a lifetime. I want to give you a home."
