116: Joining a group and rewards
To strengthen her argument, Li Zhenni recounted Lu Chuan's past few street vending experiences.
She even showed Li Xingwei the [Little Boss Food Sharing Group] that the Regular Customers had spontaneously formed.
"..."
Because Li Zhenni was too passionate, she didn't control her speaking volume, which caused her words to fall into the ears of the other people present.
Now, not only was Li Xingwei completely shocked, but the others also showed expressions of disbelief.
After a few seconds, Li Xingwei suddenly turned and stepped forward, and said to Lu Chuan seriously:
"I'm sorry, Little Boss, I apologize for what I said earlier!
I didn't know you were such a pure and noble person, and I even tried to tarnish your great ideals and noble character with the smell of money!!!"
Lu Chuan's gaze was dull, his mind had already gone blank from the extreme social embarrassment, so he could only instinctively follow up with:
"No, it's okay..."
After apologizing, Li Xingwei strode over to Li Zhenni and said seriously:
"Your behavior of forming a chat group and persistently searching for the Little Boss's whereabouts every day is very much to my liking!
So, please let me join this chat group! Of course, I won't join for free!"
Under Li Zhenni's puzzled gaze, he continued:
"For the first person who finds the Little Boss's whereabouts each week, I am willing to provide encouragement with funds!
The bonus will be set at three thousand yuan! What do you think?"
Li Zhenni quickly waved her hand and said:
"It's definitely no problem to let you join, after all, one more person means one more chance to find the Little Boss!
As for the bonus, forget it, it's not necessary!
Everyone is looking for the Little Boss in their spare time because they love his food. If money is involved, what kind of thing would that be!"
Li Xingwei, however, was extremely insistent.
"Three thousand yuan is not much to me! But it can serve as a very good example!
It can both motivate everyone and encourage the highly active Regular Customers!"
With things said to this extent, what else could Li Zhenni say?
She immediately pulled Li Xingwei into the group and also informed everyone in the group about the three thousand yuan reward.
To her surprise, the three thousand yuan reward only caused a negligible ripple in the group.
More people, however, were asking Li Zhenni if she had found the Little Boss's stall.
And when Li Zhenni gave an affirmative answer and sent the location, the group instantly became as lively as a festival.
All sorts of emoji packs depicting gongs and drums resounding, and firecrackers exploding, accumulated like an avalanche.
So much so that Li Zhenni's chat interface froze.
Li Zhenni tried refreshing a few times, and finding it still the same, she could only smile helplessly.
"Just wait, these beasts will be here in a moment!"
Hearing this, Li Xingwei also smiled.
Just as he was about to say something with emotion.
Lu Chuan's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
"Excuse me, have you told them about my rule?"
Li Zhenni and Li Xingwei both froze at the same time.
Then, a drop of cold sweat ran down Li Zhenni's forehead.
If those guys excitedly rushed over, only to find there were additional conditions.
She was probably going to be strung up and beaten!!!
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Li Zhenni shrieked and quickly shouted at Li Xingwei:
"Oh no! Someone's going to die! Quick, quick, use your phone to remind them!"
Infected by Li Zhenni's nervousness, Li Xingwei also became flustered.
Then, his tri-fold phone also froze.
"..."
Li Zhenni clutched her head and shrieked.
"What kind of crappy phone is this, still 'leading the way'! Leading my ass!"
Listening to Li Zhenni's outburst of profanity, Lu Chuan and Li Xingwei both awkwardly turned their heads away.
How to put it... a girl who looked fashionable and beautiful suddenly started swearing.
It was, it was very novel!
"Uh, I suddenly remembered I have an interview, I'll be leaving first!"
Li Zhenni hastily bid farewell to the two of them, then rushed into the building.
Li Xingwei watched Li Zhenni's retreating figure, thought for a moment, then also bid farewell to Lu Chuan, and then hurriedly left.
Clearly, he was also afraid of being caught in the crossfire, so it was best to leave first!
"..."
Lu Chuan had just raised his hand in a gesture of farewell, but the two of them were already gone, and the expression on his face suddenly twisted.
Thinking of the 'grand spectacle' that was about to unfold, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He could already imagine how crazy those Regular Customers would be when they couldn't get their super spicy fatty intestine noodles!
"System, will this day next year be my death anniversary?"
Lu Chuan was full of melancholy and began to think about what words to engrave on his tombstone.
A mischievous laugh immediately sounded in his mind.
"Hee~"
Lu Chuan was instantly enraged.
Then he was angry for a moment.
He clenched his fists and ranted wildly in his mind.
"System, when I first met you, weren't you quite aloof? How come you're becoming more and more improper now!"
Unexpectedly, the System actually explained seriously.
"The initial interaction between the Host and the System was a bit unfamiliar, but as of today, the interdependent relationship between the Host and the System has effectively improved, and all aspects have begun to resonate in sync, so there is no need to be surprised."
"...Speak human."
"Because the Host is a deeply hidden, outwardly reserved, yet inwardly passionate youth, and also a natural comedian~ The System is influenced by its surroundings, turning black when near ink, so it's inevitable that it would become like this~"
"You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
Lu Chuan clutched his aching chest and said through gritted teeth.
Then, he suddenly turned and asked He Jingrui, who was beside him:
"He Jingrui, do you think I'm an outwardly reserved, yet inwardly passionate youth and a comedian?"
He Jingrui, who was completely bewildered by the question, touched Lu Chuan's forehead in confusion.
"A Chuan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
"..."
Lu Chuan swatted his hand away, then realized and felt speechless that he had been led astray by the improper System.
However, after this teasing from the System, he was no longer nervous.
Those Regular Customers couldn't possibly eat him!
In short, if they couldn't produce an interview notification message or a resume, they shouldn't even think about buying a single super spicy fatty intestine noodles from him!
He... Lu Chuan suddenly looked at the dazed He Jingrui beside him with a guilty conscience.
His... his good partner, He Jingrui, wouldn't agree!
He Jingrui noticed Lu Chuan's gaze, looked over blankly, then scratched his head and smiled.
See, He Jingrui's smile was so full of confidence!
Lu Chuan felt relieved, immediately patted He Jingrui's shoulder, and returned a smile.
He Jingrui was puzzled and smiled again.
"..."
Lu Chuan could only smile again, then looked up at the cold gray ceiling.
He should still think about what words would be best to engrave on the tombstone then...
