Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe-Chapter 227 - 163: Raw Food Challenge, Chaoshan Poison

They were at the age of being adventurous. Without second thoughts, they began hopping and running towards the beach near the hotel, followed by two photographers.

Just by changing the position, the scenery looked completely different.

A straight road stretched along the edge of the beach into the distance, with orderly street lamps casting a warm yellow glow, lighting up the night.

The golden sands extending into the sea grew darker, where faraway waves could be vaguely seen crashing at the edge of the darkness.

The hotel's side was brightly lit. Decorations in a kaleidoscope of colors made the entire ground area as lively as a festival.

The steps on both sides of the extending platform were also adorned with various decorative lights, hanging irregularly on greenery and railings, making it look like a funfair - extremely photogenic.

The group took numerous shots on the stairs and even played a game of rock-paper-scissors as they climbed the steps.

There were no tourists wandering about at this time, making it a perfect natural shooting spot.

As they continued taking photos, the five women reached the platform and discovered large telescopes for viewing the sea, though it was too dark to see anything.

As they strolled around.

Suddenly.

"Meow~"

A cat's meow came from nearby.

"Huh, did you hear that?"

"There's a kitten!!"

Following the direction of the sound, just a few meters away, a pitch-black kitten with light golden eyes that shimmered in the light was perched on a window ledge, curiously gazing at them.

Through the window, they could clearly see a man and a woman inside, busy on their computer, seemingly working.

"Um..."

Lucas was attending Jiang Shuqi's blogger training session when a soft female voice came from outside. It was in English, making them instinctively turn their heads.

"Sorry to disturb your work, but may we pet your kitty? It's just so cute!"

"Korean girls?"

The distinctive accent immediately gave away their identity.

Five young, pretty Korean girls, with hairstyles carefully designed and cut, and slender figures with striking appearances.

Obviously, they were from some girl group.

Lucas glanced at Jiang Shuqi, who shook her head in confusion.

"Don't look at me, I don't follow K-pop. The hotel stuff isn't my business either; I'm just here as a tourist."

She couldn't recognize them, nor could Lucas.

But it didn't matter; they only wanted to play with the kitten, nothing major.

"It's not up to me; it's up to the kitten. It's very picky with people, having been a stray not long ago."

The other girls couldn't understand much English, but they got the gist that they were being allowed, and immediately gathered at the window ledge, grinning foolishly at the kitten.

Lu Xiaohei blinked her big eyes, scanning the faces, and sniffed each one, surprisingly with no reaction, and even lay down, exposing half of her belly.

"?"

Lucas's face turned green with envy. The cat had never been so affectionate with him. Why did she always act this way around pretty women??

You're a female cat, aren't you supposed to cling to men?

The two photographers quickly ran over to find the best angles for shooting, focusing on the kitten, while ignoring the duo inside.

Since they weren't being photographed, the two inside didn't mind, and instead grew curious about the girl group.

Appearing here at this hour, in the dead of night, not seen during the day, it was likely they had just arrived.

They were probably guests invited by President Wang.

Jiang Shuqi didn't know her cousin very well but being a businessman, he wouldn't invite just anyone.

If inviting someone, it had to be a major act.

She wouldn't directly ask them; getting caught in the main video or extras would be too awkward, so she sent a text to President Wang.

"Korean girl group?"

Upon receiving the message, Wang Ziqin was lounging on a bean bag, scrolling on his phone. He jumped up and moved to the balcony to look down, spotting several figures on the platform, with an obvious camera behind them.

"Honey! Quick, let's go see the stars!"

"Are you crazy? Can't you see I'm wearing a mask? Who came?"

"Uh, good question, it's too far to see. I might've invited several girl groups, will know who specifically only when I see them."

"Is Yuqi's brother here? If not, I'm not going."

"Uh, maybe…not yet?"

Wang Ziqin scratched his head. If it was Yuqi's brother, Jiang Shuqi would certainly recognize him, so it evidently wasn't him downstairs.

Since his wife wasn't interested, he didn't bother going either. Inviting the Korean girl group was primarily to enliven the atmosphere, as they suited large outdoor performances best.

The main goal was for his wife to successfully meet her idol, a small wish of hers.

He quickly sent over the list of invited girl groups, with group photos, sourced from the internet, to avoid any unwarranted complaints later.

"Whoa?"

Jiang Shuqi was also a bit speechless upon receiving the text. Was this guy crazy? Hosting a pointless kite festival and inviting several Korean girl groups. Too much money to burn?

She had never expected him to be into celebrities, hoping he wouldn't do anything disloyal to her sister-in-law.

Nowadays, the survival conditions of Korean girl groups aren't as tough as a decade ago. They just need to work hard and attend schedules, rarely encountering shady dealings.
