Just go, no hesitation. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lin Manli, accompanied by her team, left the "Food and Beauty" magazine office and drove to the distant West City Old Street.

minutes later...

Two cars drove into West City Old Street, one after the other.

Luckily, the traffic peak had passed, so Lin Manli and her group took just a few minutes to smoothly reach the parking area near Delicious Restaurant.

They got out of the car.

First, they scanned the parking QR code to avoid getting a ticket.

"Liu, make sure you brought all the photography equipment."

Lin Manli nodded her chin, hinting for them not to forget anything.

After speaking, she took her handbag and elegantly walked toward Delicious Restaurant in her high heels.

In front of the restaurant, quite a number of people were already lined up.

Card tables and chess tables were set up.

Some elderly folks sat at the tables, some playing cards, others playing chess.

A group of elderly men surrounded them, each holding a tea mug, sipping tea and chatting.

"Oh, the way you’re playing cards is really bad! You should have played a single, I’m telling you, he’s out of singles, you could’ve trapped him directly... Oh, you should listen to me... it’s driving me crazy..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t babble nonsense or give random advice! Watching without speaking is the true gentleman, understand?"

"Exactly, stop giving advice, or else you’re better off leaving."

Such scenes left Lin Manli’s team in surprise.

"Wow, they’re already lining up so early? It’s not even three o’clock..."

Mei’s red lips opened wide enough to fit an egg, surprised yet understanding instantly: "Seeing such a crowd, I suddenly believe the fans who say Boss Huang’s place is hard to buy from!"

Liu agreed, "These elderly folks and college students are really fierce! Especially the elderly folks, not only did they come so early to secure a spot in line, but they also set up card and chess tables right in front of Boss Huang’s restaurant, truly enjoying both queuing and entertainment! Without knowing, one might think they accidentally entered a game room!"

It’s undeniable, these elderly people are real talents!

It’s undeniable, modern college students have such a relaxed academic life!

Surprise is what it is!

Lin Manli’s charming face remained as indifferent as ever, showing no change at all.

Of course.

Inside, she couldn’t help but feel a joy she hadn’t felt in days, seeing Boss Huang’s place getting even more popular.

She tidied her hair, ruffled by the wind, while walking through the crowd toward the restaurant.

Her appearance.

Caught the young people’s attention.

Although most were looking down at their phones, when they smelled a pleasant hint of perfume, their eyes could not help but drift over.

Great figure, delicate features, powerful aura.

One word: Beautiful!

Oh~

There’s an even younger beauty following behind as well!

Height is about 170cm, slender waist, long legs, with delicate features and big eyes.

In short, she’s truly eye-catching!

The young customers in line brightened up.

Honestly, the customer quality at Boss Huang’s restaurant is getting higher and higher!

Especially these days, the parade of beautiful and perfectly shaped female customers is endless!

If they could see these lovely ladies every day at the restaurant, their appetite would be +99!

But still, these two beauties seem somewhat familiar, don’t they?

Hm, wait a minute~

Aren’t they bluntly cutting in line?

The people at the back of the line hadn’t quite figured out where they had seen these two beauties, and only realized they were cutting the line as they walked forward.

A rather impatient guy directly asked, "Hey, ladies, if you’re here to eat, you need to start queuing from the back..."

While beauties are nice to look at, in front of great food...

What is a beauty?

Nothing compares to the aroma of Boss Huang’s food!

After all, the portion of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce is limited, and more people moving ahead means fewer opportunities for others to buy it.

They’d already missed the chance to purchase at noon, and they didn’t want to miss it again in the evening; otherwise, they’d be tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep!

Thus...

In front of good food, no one wants to give way.

Even for beauties, it’s a no-go!

Upon hearing this, Lin Manli knew they misunderstood.

With a smile on her lips, she explained, "We are from ’Food and Beauty’ magazine, we’re here to discuss interview matters with Boss Huang."

The queueing diners exclaimed, "From ’Food and Beauty’? Discussing interview matters with Boss Huang?"

"Mm-hmm~"

Mei nodded with a smile, "This is our Chief Editor Lin from ’Food and Beauty’. We are especially here to report on Boss Huang’s new dish. We hope everyone can give us some convenience."

Oh, they are from ’Food and Beauty’ magazine!

No wonder they seem so familiar!

Wait a minute~

Didn’t they previously come to Boss Huang’s place for an interview?

That magazine issue, they all contributed a little... bought one back for a keepsake!

Why are they coming for another interview now?

Could there be some hidden agenda here?

They seriously suspected that the people from ’Food and Beauty’ came up with a temporary excuse just not to queue, unfortunately, they had no evidence.

Looking at the cameraman carrying the photography gear, it does seem like they’re here to do an interview.

But the problem is!

The ’Food and Beauty’ magazine, wasn’t it the same restaurant couldn’t consecutively feature?

Now they’re carrying stuff over again, saying they want to report on Boss Huang’s new dish, what does that indicate?

This shows that ’Food and Beauty’ magazine highly values Boss Huang, even to the extent of breaking their own rules just to shoot his food...

Oh my!

Boss Huang is really something!

To be consecutively invited to appear in two issues of a food magazine by Chief Editor Lin in a short time has never happened before.

This is setting a precedent!

And each time, it was Chief Editor Lin herself who extended the invitation and came to the store for the shoot.

This kind of treatment is exceptionally high.

This kind of treatment is something many restaurant owners can only dream of!

Respected, Boss Huang is truly respected!

The queueing customers silently raised their thumbs toward Huang Tao in admiration.

Listening to this, the local residents also admired Huang Tao greatly while feeling that Boss Huang’s culinary skills deserved consecutive invitations from ’Food and Beauty’.

Since it was for business, they naturally made way.

If they delayed Boss Huang’s formal affairs, they’d become guilty sinners throughout history!

Immediately, they expressed, "Oh, if it’s to discuss shooting matters with Boss Huang, it’s obviously business, you don’t need to queue. Please go right in!"

"Thank you~"

After expressing thanks, Lin Manli led Mei and the others into Delicious Restaurant.

Before entering, she purposely checked her appearance in the glass door, ensuring perfection before pushing the door open.

"Ding-a-ling~"

At that moment, Huang Tao, hearing the sound, looked up toward the entrance.

His gaze met Lin Manli’s.

Lin Manli smiled faintly, like a white magnolia blooming in winter, eyes sparkling, blushing before speaking.

With an enchanting smile, she waved to Huang Tao, "Hello, Boss Huang. Long time no see."

Huang Tao was taken aback, pleasantly surprised.

After their last interview and shoot, they seldom came over again.

Huang Tao guessed they probably had been too busy with work; otherwise, there’s no other explanation.

He smiled and greeted, "Hello, Chief Editor Lin. What brings you to the store today?"

This marked the Nth encounter between Huang Tao and Lin Manli.
