114: Boss, I found you!

“Why hasn’t anyone found the Little Boss’s stall yet?”

Li Zhenni was lazily slumped in her bean bag chair, sending out resumes while chatting non-stop with her silly group friends.

“These silly group friends, they’re useless at finding the Little Boss, but they’re all better than each other at bragging. They crack me up.”

While sighing with emotion, she enthusiastically joined the fray.

It wasn’t until late at night, when sleepiness washed over her, that she realized something was wrong.

“Oh no! I wasn’t paying attention, and it’s already this late! I have an interview tomorrow!”

She checked the time; it was already past three in the morning.

“I can’t do this anymore, I need to sleep! If I sleep now, I can still get three hours in!”

She quickly plugged her phone into the charger, then dove headfirst into bed.

Soon after, a faint, cat-like snore echoed in the small single room.

Time flew by, and in a blink, it was morning.

Ding-a-ling-a-ling!!!!

A harsh alarm rang again and again.

Until the tenth time.

Slam!

Li Zhenni, unable to bear it any longer, threw the alarm clock off the bed.

After that, the entire world fell silent.

She went back to sleep, blissfully.

Time continued to pass.

The scorching sunlight pierced through the sheer white curtains and hit her eyelids.

Feeling uncomfortable, Li Zhenni slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the hazy white ceiling.

After about half a minute, her dull gaze slowly became more lively.

Then a shriek echoed through the entire room.

“I’m doomed!!!”

In that instant, even “chickens flying and dogs jumping” couldn’t describe the chaos.

Half an hour later, Li Zhenni, having hastily washed up, rushed out the door with disheveled hair.

It wasn’t until she hailed a car downstairs that she had time to pull out her mirror and cosmetics from her bag and start touching up her makeup.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, watching the woman, who looked like a madwoman, transform into an urban beauty in a short amount of time, and couldn’t help but wipe his brow.

The car slowly stopped by the side of the road near the Talent Market building. Li Zhenni hurriedly got out, then rushed towards the building like the wind.

She had an interview scheduled for nine, but she woke up past noon, and by the time she arrived, it was already past one.

If she were the interviewer, encountering a job seeker who was this late, she’d probably deduct a large portion of their impression points... Thinking of this, Li Zhenni felt incredibly bitter and couldn’t help but swear an oath.

“If I stay up late again, I’m a dog!”

Although she had made this solemn vow more than once, this time, she was absolutely sure she was super serious!

As she was about to approach the building’s entrance, a group of girls, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly rushed ahead, their faces filled with anxiety.

This scene made Li Zhenni a little stunned.

“No way, so many people are late for interviews.”

Sometimes, people’s mentality can be very strange.

Li Zhenni, who had been very flustered, suddenly wasn’t anymore.

“Anyway, I’m already this late, so it doesn’t matter if I’m a little later.”

Li Zhenni rubbed her empty stomach and looked at the restaurants on both sides, and couldn’t help but think of filling her stomach first.

Just as she was about to act, the girl in front suddenly let out a surprised shriek.

“Little Boss! You’re still here!”

“That’s great, we thought you had already packed up your stall!”

“Thankfully we didn’t give up! This is amazing!”

Li Zhenni froze.

“Little Boss?”

These three words were so magical that they instantly made her unable to move.

“Could it really be the Little Boss? No way? I just happened to run into him like this?”

With a mix of excitement and apprehension, Li Zhenni walked faster and faster, finally almost running into the aisle.

Not long after, a super high-decibel scream came out.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!! It really is the Little Boss!!!!”

...Li Xingwei and Li Yuntu, immersed in their food, were almost scared out of their wits by the successive screams.

They held their bowls in one hand and noodles in the other, staring blankly at the girls who had surged to the stall.

By the time they came back to their senses, they found that they had been pushed several meters away at some point.

“...”

“...”

The two looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

Since when did even setting up a street stall start to have a fan-chasing culture?

They looked at the Little Boss, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls, and couldn't quite tell if they were envious, or envious, or perhaps just envious.

Maybe they should go learn how to cook too?

...Lu Chuan was not as happy as Li Xingwei and Li Yuntu imagined.

On the contrary, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Unless you were there, you wouldn’t know how much suffering your ears would endure when surrounded by two dozen emotional girls!

Lu Chuan tried to ask He Jingrui for help, but found that the guy had already hidden far away at some point.

Hmph! No loyalty!!

Out of helplessness, he could only save himself.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

“Stop! Stop! Stop!”

In the end, he even blurted out some half-understood English.

Only then did he manage to control the situation.

“Huff huff huff—”

After a few rapid breaths, Lu Chuan looked at the girls again and said with a wry smile:

“Don’t worry, my stall is here, it’s not going anywhere!”

A girl with freckles on her face chuckled at his words.

“It’s just that we’re too happy! Little Boss, you don’t know how famous your super spicy fatty intestine noodles are at our school now!”

Another slightly plump girl chimed in:

“Exactly, if it weren’t for an event at school today, there would be more than just a few of us here!”

Seeing that they were about to start vying for attention again, Lu Chuan’s head ached, and he quickly pointed to the girl with freckles on her face and said:

“Yesterday you wanted a small portion and very mild spice, is it the same portion and flavor today?”

The girl hadn’t expected Lu Chuan to remember her preferences and was momentarily stunned.

By the time she reacted, her eyes were sparkling, and she was nodding non-stop.

Lu Chuan quickly indicated that he had noted it down.

Then he asked the other girls one by one.

“You still want a large portion, medium spicy, right?”

“Small portion, very mild spicy, right?”

“...”

There were also new faces during this time, and Lu Chuan’s way of asking questions changed to:

“I have very mild spicy, medium spicy, and super spicy options. For portions, you can choose large or small. Please tell me your choice, thank you!”

In just a moment, he had asked the last person.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly found this person somewhat familiar.

Looking again, good heavens!

Isn’t this a Regular Customer?

Li Zhenni saw that Lu Chuan recognized her, and her eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile.

She had a triumphant expression, as if to say:

Little Boss, I found you!

Lu Chuan felt a bit awkward for a moment, just as he had felt the previous times he was found by Regular Customers.

However, after setting up his stall so many times, he had gained experience in handling it.

He immediately cleared his throat and said, feigning composure:

“This time I’m selling super spicy fatty intestine noodles, but only to people who are going for interviews, and you need to show your interview notification text message or resume!”

“Thank you for your understanding and support!”
