47: Chapter 47 Hot Pot

"Little brother, do you have any more private rooms here?"

It was Cai Kangkang who spoke; he was older and very polite.

"Yes, sir, please follow me." Chen Shaoping led the way, and the three of them arrived at private room 888.

The mess left after Chen Shaoping's meal had been cleaned up, and the private room was neat and looked very comfortable.

"Gentlemen, would you like a divided hotpot or..."

"Why a divided hotpot for hotpot? Just bring the spicy one," Liu Long interrupted Chen Shaoping.

Cai Kangkang pressed his hand, signaling Chen Shaoping to wait.

He softly said, "Xiao Long, won't you feel uncomfortable tonight if we do that?"

Liu Long pondered for a moment. "It should be fine."

However, in the end, they still opted for a divided hotpot.

After the dishes were served, Cai Kangkang sternly told Chen Shaoping, "In this private room, unless we call, no one from your restaurant should just come in, understood?"

"Alright, gentlemen. Please enjoy yourselves. If you need anything, please call."

Chen Shaoping exited the room, thinking to himself: I've already put everything in place, so it doesn't matter if they come in or not.

His service was limited to this one table.

Now that this table was quietly eating, Chen Shaoping had some free time.

He took out his phone and started observing his service targets.

After less than three minutes, Chen Shaoping decisively put away his phone.

The scene in the private room was truly an eyesore; if he watched any longer, he would vomit.

Midway, Cai Kangkang and Liu Long did not call a single waiter.

It wasn't until 10:02 PM that the two finished their meal and went to the front desk to pay.

Cai Kangkang took out his phone to scan and pay, while Liu Long stood beside him and said, "Kangkang, this place tastes really good. Next time, I definitely want to eat the spicy one."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Cai Kangkang looked at Liu Long dotingly.

When the two left the restaurant, it was exactly 10:05 PM.

Chen Shaoping greeted Han Minde, grabbed his changed clothes, and chased after them.

Cai Kangkang and Liu Long walked hand in hand to their car.

After a 'mua', Cai Kangkang walked to the driver's seat, and Liu Long got into the passenger seat.

Chen Shaoping thought they were driving to a hotel, so he kept following them.

It wasn't until the two entered the underground parking garage of a residential complex that Chen Shaoping drove back.

They were going home, not to a hotel.

No wonder the system's intelligence only mentioned the hotpot restaurant, with no follow-up.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing a piece of intelligence, gaining 2 paparazzi points.]

[Host has paparazzi points: 26 points.]

Both pieces of intelligence today earned paparazzi points. Does the system determine that no matter how I use this intelligence later, there will only be this much?

Back home, smelling of hotpot, Chen Shaoping first took a shower, then threw his clothes into the washing machine.

He had originally planned to throw away the waiter's uniform, but when he asked Han Minde, he was sternly refused.

He said to save costs, and that it wasn't broken yet.

If he dared to throw away one piece of clothing today, he would dare to waste a bag of rice tomorrow.

Chen Shaoping was given a good scolding.

In short: the clothes must be returned, otherwise it is wasteful and shameful.

Chen Shaoping was powerless to resist, so he obediently washed the clothes and would return them to Han Minde another day.

Just as he was hanging the clothes, the system's voice rang out.

[Ding! Today's intelligence has been refreshed. Host, do you wish to acquire it immediately?]

Acquire.

[Today's Intelligence 1 (★): Today at 0:18 AM, Zhan Tingting live-streamed singing in Hubin Plaza. With her highly recognizable voice, shocking explosive power, and sincere emotional expression, she attracted many people to stop and watch. She ended the live stream and left at 1:30 AM.]

[Today's Intelligence 2 (★): After Chen Ting was shelved, The-young group added a new member, Huang Yiqian, and was renamed the '3H Group'. Su Xiaoxiao is fully searching for suitable debut songs for the 3H Group and is willing to pay a high reward.

This is an attempt to recover the losses caused to the company by Chen Ting's scandal. This intelligence is valid for 5 days.]

Chen Shaoping finished hanging the clothes, walked out of his room, and tiptoed to Sister Ying's door.

"Knock knock!"

Sister Ying opened the door and said tiredly, "Da Ping, what's wrong?"

Her voice was hoarse, and as soon as she finished speaking, she coughed lightly twice.

"Sister Ying, why do you have a cold? Is it serious? You're so careless. Go back to bed, I'll go buy you some medicine."

Chen Shaoping was full of worry and turned to leave.

Sister Ying grabbed Chen Shaoping, her heart feeling warm, and shook her head, saying, "Da Ping, I don't have a cold. I practiced singing too much and hurt my throat."

"I've already taken medicine, and I'll be fine by tomorrow morning."

"You're not lying to me?" Chen Shaoping stared intently at Sister Ying, seemingly trying to discern if her words were true or false.

Sister Ying chuckled, and with her hoarse voice, it had a unique charm.

"Why would I lie to you? My livelihood depends on my voice, so I naturally protect it well."

"You still haven't said why you're looking for me? Don't tell me you want to eat barbecue again; I really can't today."

Although Sister Ying's voice was off, it didn't sound like she was sick, so Chen Shaoping felt relieved.

"Can't sleep, let's go for a walk."

"Now, go for a walk this late?" Sister Ying couldn't believe it, thinking she had misheard, and asked back.

Chen Shaoping didn't give her much time to think, pulling her and walking out.

"Look, you haven't even changed into your pajamas, so you definitely can't sleep either. Let's go."

After the two exited through the back gate of the residential complex, they saw Hubin Plaza, where many young ladies and gentlemen were live-streaming.

There were dancers, singers, and those showcasing special talents...

All sorts of strange characters!

Chen Shaoping walked towards the place with the most onlookers.

A tall, slender, curly-haired beautiful woman was holding a guitar and singing.

The onlookers were listening quietly, and the air seemed to be filled with a faint sadness; most people's emotions were clearly deeply drawn in by her singing.

Coincidentally.

The song she was singing was "later".

"If we hadn't been so stubborn then,

We wouldn't have so many regrets now"

...

After the song, thunderous applause erupted.

Her style was different from Sister Ying's, and her rendition of "later" also had a different flavor.

"Sister Ying, evaluate her," Chen Shaoping asked.

"High recognition, strong penetrating power, intense emotion."

"A good prospect, a very good prospect."

Sister Ying's eyes gleamed as she began to move towards Zhan Tingting.

"Wait, Sister Ying." Chen Shaoping pursed his lips, signaling Sister Ying to look ahead.

Several people who had given tips were scanning QR codes and chatting with Zhan Tingting.

"Sister Ying, why don't you not go over? I'll invite her to a quiet place, and then you can make your move."

Zhan Tingting was live-streaming, and Chen Shaoping didn't want Sister Ying to appear in her camera.

"Okay, you go."

Chen Shaoping walked over, approaching the box where she collected money.

Zhan Tingting looked at him and thanked him in advance, "Thank you! Thank you for your tip."

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Shaoping pulled out a business card and placed it into her money box.

He smiled and said, "Let's find a place to chat."

Zhan Tingting was stunned for a moment, then, with a look of confusion, she rummaged through the box for the business card, taking it in her hand and examining it carefully.

"Manager Chen, please wait a moment."

She feigned calmness on the surface, but her heart was already surging with emotion, and her hands trembled slightly from excitement as she packed up her equipment.

She never expected such a good thing to happen to her. As for being a swindler, she wasn't afraid with so many people around.

"Dear friends and family, something unexpected has come up, so today's live stream ends here. Thank you all!"

Being clever, before turning off the camera, she deliberately let Chen Shaoping briefly appear in the frame.
