Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1597 - 873: Are You Satisfied With This Answer? (Part 2)
Wang Longlong was deep in thought, what kind of trick is this?
Zhang Chi laughed, "I just give it to them, and they definitely think it’s complimentary Coke. Then when it’s time to pay the bill, they surely don’t have enough money, and I threaten them, ’You want to dine and dash, I’ll call the police and have you arrested!’
At this point, Zhang Chi spoke enthusiastically, "They must be terrified; after all, they’re kids. They will definitely beg me, and then I’ll say, ’No police, fine. Work for me for a week to offset the meal cost.’ Look, isn’t this free labor? I’ll work them hard for that week, and if they don’t do a good job, I’ll find an excuse to make them work a few more days! Rounding it off, I’m making thousands just like that!"
After hearing this, Ma Shicheng was silent and said, "Chi Zi, you are truly like King Yan."
Dan Kaiquan looked at him, with a complex expression, it was too outrageous.
Wang Longlong glanced over and was shocked to find that the kids at the next table were listening with sweaty backs.
In a few minutes, Pei Yujing brought a tray of grilled dishes over to serve the kids at the next table.
She carried a big bottle of Coke in her hand. Earlier, Sister Ma noticed the kids didn’t order Coke, so she decided to give them one. Pei Yujing walked to the table, "Hello, this bottle of Coke is for you."
The kids had a reflexive reaction, flinging their hands with a terrified look, "No, I don’t want Coke!"
Pei Yujing was puzzled.
...
The Coke had been drunk three rounds.
On the table in front of them was a grill, the charcoal glowing red, the intense heat sizzling the mutton skewers above, the dripping fat from the skewers made the fire even fiercer.
Guo Kunnan grabbed a skewer of shiny, sizzling mutton sprinkled with chili and cumin, took a bite, and the mix of fat and lean, crispy outside and tender inside, the taste was simply amazing. And drinking a glass of Coke with good friends, it was the greatest pleasure in life.
Guo Kunnan sighed, "I’m worried! Does she love me or not!"
Dan Kaiquan and Cui Yu watched TV, a large TV hanging on the wall of the barbecue shop. Shao Shuangshuang’s highly recognizable face from Evergreen Liquid appeared on the screen.
In a news interview, Shao Shuangshuang stated that within three years, Evergreen Liquid committed to creating at least 10,000 jobs...
With this statement, down below the leaders were vigorously applauding, some so excited, their faces were twisted.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Ma, is this job creation really important?"
Wang Longlong answered for him, "It’s incredibly important! So many jobs, such great benefits, it’ll surely boost Yuzhou’s economic growth and prevent population outflow, and so many other benefits."
Dan Kaiquan barely comprehended.
Wang Longlong said, "In our neighboring province Su Yu, because they have a customer service center, almost everyone who speaks standard Mandarin in town has gone to be a customer service agent. When the boss comes back, top leaders personally receive them, now Evergreen Liquid is even more powerful."
Ma Shicheng: "Of course, Evergreen Liquid is irreplaceable, and more than half is for export."
Guo Kunnan felt these things were too far away from him; he only saw President Shao from a distance during the school anniversary and found her young and beautiful, nothing like a boss.
Guo Kunnan shifted his attention back to the present, he picked up his phone, glanced at the screen, still no message.
Guo Kunnan was frustrated, "Brother Ma, half an hour ago, I sent a message to another elementary school female classmate, telling her I’m in the city having barbecue with good brothers, why hasn’t she replied to my message? Is she busy?"
Ma Shicheng was watching TV, hearing this, he gestured for Guo Kunnan to watch the TV.
Following his gaze, Guo Kunnan looked at the TV; the interview was ongoing, numerous reporters raised their microphones, bombarding Shao Shuangshuang with questions.
Then, they saw Shao Shuangshuang raise her hand, stopping them, and surprisingly, she took out her phone, tapped a few times, put it away, and continued the interview.
Ma Shicheng glanced at him, "Bro Nan, even President Shao has time to use her phone during an interview, and you say your classmate doesn’t have time to reply to you?"
...
Guo Kunnan drank several glasses of Coke, becoming sadder with each sip.
The kids at the next table were almost done eating, Guo Kunnan noticed.
You know, when people are upset and frustrated, they tend to indulge in retaliatory spending. Guo Kunnan raised his hand, "Boss, get them twenty lamb skewers, ten beef tendons, and ten chicken feet, put it all on my tab!"
At this, the kids were stunned; they had just ordered grilled tofu, grilled starch sausage, grilled baby cabbage and such cheap items, never imagined they could afford these signature skewers.
Guo Kunnan slapped two banknotes onto the table, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it!"
The kids were tearfully grateful, treating him as a big brother, and when the food arrived, they didn’t forget to toast him with Coke.
Guo Kunnan rarely smiled.
They ate the barbecue for a long time, and halfway through, Pei Yujing added some charcoal and left, her face emotionless, her hair flowing as she departed.
Sister Ma, seeing Jingjing coming to the shop to help every day, felt rather embarrassed, wishing Jingjing would stay in a neat study to read rather than helping in the shop, but her daughter was so stubborn, she couldn’t be persuaded.
Sister Ma said, "Work until 10:30 tonight and you can leave. I’ll ask your aunt to help, staying up late is bad for your health."
Pei Yujing gave her a look, "Okay."
Sister Ma was bewildered, today she agreed so easily, Sister Ma was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
In that case, Sister Ma was happy and grilled the skewers even more skillfully.
Time ticked by second after second, the kids left before Guo Kunnan, constantly calling him Big Brother, handsome Big Brother, recovering his lost confidence from the girls in the recognition of the kids.
Cui Yu watched the happy figures of the kids, sincerely saying, "If we asked them to go to the supermarket and play in Meng Gui’s big house, they probably wouldn’t refuse."
Guo Kunnan: "Let it go, don’t lead the kids astray."
Talking, his gaze landed on Pei Yujing’s figure, ready to call her for the bill.
At this time, Pei Yujing was calculating the bill for a table of guests, who were some young men and women, a young man, probably in his early twenties, exuded a student vibe.
The crew-cut college student was staring at Pei Yujing, even though she wore a cold expression, she was really pretty, such a beautiful girl working as a waitress in a BBQ shop seemed like a story.
The college student squeezed out a charming smile, "Hello, can I add you on WeChat?"
Upon saying this, Guo Kunnan quickly nudged his friends; someone was actually challenging Pei Yujing!
While grilling, Sister Ma also noticed, grilling while keeping an eye on the situation from the corner of her eye.
Pei Yujing encountered this situation several times before; she still remained polite, "Hello, may I ask why you want to add me?"
The college student mustered up his courage again and sincerely said, "I think you’re beautiful, so I’d like to..."
Pei Yujing understood, she instinctively wanted to say her dowry is one hundred thousand, but the thought shifted, and by some strange instinct, she remembered Jiang Ning’s advice.
Pei Yujing smoothly said, "Sorry, I’m pregnant!"
As her words dropped, the scene instantly fell silent.
In the entire BBQ restaurant, all that remained was the low hum of the ventilation system.
The male college student who asked for WeChat, his brain almost crashed, all the words he brewed in his heart were stuck in his throat, muttering, "You, you, you..."
Guo Kunnan, watching the drama unfold, widened his eyes, "Huh?"
Ma Shicheng was in disbelief, "No way?"
All the customers who heard Pei Yujing’s words were utterly shocked.
Sister Ma was utterly stunned, her lovely daughter, how could she suddenly be pregnant!?
