25: Queuing disputes

After the two pinched their noses, walked through the small path, and turned the corner, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.

A small cart was parked next to the public restroom, and a long queue had already formed in front of the stall.

Due to insufficient space, this long queue had even folded back several times, forming an “M” shape.

But this was not the main reason for Zhang Xiaoya and Bu Huihui’s surprise.

At this time, among the people in the queue, someone would occasionally try to cut in, or argue with those in front of or behind them.

And whenever this happened, a muscular young man in a training uniform would pop out from somewhere to mediate.

At this point, the two sides, who were arguing fiercely, suddenly looked as if they had eaten shit, their faces ashen, and chose to settle the matter peacefully.

Of course, there were also those who insisted on making trouble, or simply had their eyes on their foreheads, and even turned around to insult the muscular young man.

Then Zhang Xiaoya and Bu Huihui witnessed such a scene:

A cold-faced handsome guy, a full size larger, walked over with nine muscular young men lined up behind him.

Then, without a word, he pulled the swearing guy out of the line and walked away from the crowd.

As for what happened to that guy, judging from the timid expressions of a small number of people, the outcome was not very pleasant.

“Are you sure your younger brother needs your help to patronize his business?”

Bu Huihui struggled to pull her gaze away from Leng Hui, then quietly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Zhang Xiaoya was also a bit stunned.

She had also waited in long queues for limited-edition items, but that didn’t include snack stalls!

Have you ever seen a snack stall with such a long queue?

And even hiring security to maintain order?

Yet such an absurd thing was happening right in front of them!

One could only imagine how delicious and popular the stinky tofu at this snack stall must be to achieve this level of success!

“It seems we’re not needed anymore…”

Zhang Xiaoya was at a loss, then smiled brightly.

Although she didn't help, sometimes not helping is actually a good thing.

“Hey, aren’t you eating?”

Bu Huihui was about to go queue up when Zhang Xiaoya suddenly pulled her towards the exit.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t going to eat?”

Now it was Zhang Xiaoya’s turn to be surprised.

Someone had said something like, “How can a beauty eat stinky tofu?” earlier.

Was she going back on her word so quickly?

Bu Huihui, her face flushed from her best friend's gaze, bit her lip lightly and still pointed at Leng Hui, who was patrolling the area not far away.

The meaning was already very clear: queuing was not the goal; finding an opportunity to get close to the cold-faced muscular handsome guy was the main point.

“…”

Zhang Xiaoya was speechless, but since her best friend had this idea, she still had to support her.

“Then let’s go.”

“Xiaoya, you’re so good, *mwah*!”

“Stop being silly, hurry up and queue, more and more people are coming!”

---

Looking at the thrice-folded queue, Qi Yuan and the others squatted in front of wooden stools, eating with relish and watching with relish.

While others were diligently queuing, they could sit and eat freshly made, unlimited stinky tofu.

How could one word describe the feeling of pure satisfaction!

“Burp! I’m starting to get full!”

“Yeah, tell the young boss to stop sending more. Although I still want to eat, I really can’t eat anymore~”

“Yes, yes, let him focus on his business, don’t mind us!”

“I’ll go tell the young boss after I finish this bowl. This time, he must listen to us.”

Qi Yuan, Li Qihong, Zeng Yucheng, and Li An, who could eat a lot, all cried out that they were full, let alone the middle-aged men like Worker Meng.

And Leng Hui and his brothers, who could eat even more, also couldn't move after eating several large bowls of stinky tofu, so they simply took the initiative to help maintain order in the queue.

Of course, Qi Yuan and the others also wanted to help, but their faces and physiques lacked deterrent power… So, they all lay down comfortably, digesting their food while observing certain people who showed signs of conflict, and immediately notifying Leng Hui and his team if they found anything.

Just then, Qi Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he loudly reminded them:

“Everyone, attention, we have a situation.”

“Where, where?”

The others immediately looked over curiously.

As Qi Yuan pointed, everyone’s gaze instantly shifted to that spot.

They saw two slender beauties, covering their noses while moving forward with the flow of the queue.

But at this moment, a fat man behind them suddenly pushed forward without warning, his nearly 250 pounds almost crushing them.

Fortunately, the beauties always maintained a distance from the front, and after quickly taking a few steps forward, they avoided the nightmare of being pushed down by the fat man.

The beauties supported each other and stood firm, then both frowned and looked at the lewdly grinning fat man behind them.

If the fat man had just lost his balance and fallen forward, they might have forgiven his unintentional mistake.

But when the fat man pushed forward just now, it was clearly his lower body leading his upper body, and the intention to take advantage was too obvious.

They didn’t expect to encounter such a person even when queuing, which disgusted Zhang Xiaoya and Bu Huihui.

“What do you mean?!”

Bu Huihui didn't cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it either, and immediately shouted angrily.

Zhang Xiaoya also took a step forward, and although she didn't speak, the frost on her face was very clear.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about! One crazy woman! One stinky bitch! What do you want to do?”

Seeing that the beauties were not only not afraid but dared to turn around and question him, the lewd fat man immediately started cursing excitedly.

Yet, even as he cursed, he perversely pushed his lower body again.

This once again made Zhang Xiaoya and Bu Huihui’s faces turn ashen with anger.

Bu Huihui, with her unyielding personality, even began to pull away from Zhang Xiaoya’s hand, wanting to go up and give him a bloody nose.

Fortunately, at this moment, Leng Hui, having been notified by Qi Yuan, had already arrived at the scene with Qi Yuan.

“Hey, you’re security, right? There are two crazy women here, quickly chase them away. Damn it, to encounter such people even when buying snacks, how unlucky!”

The fat man preempted, trying to order Leng Hui around.

However, Leng Hui ignored him completely, only nodding apologetically to Zhang Xiaoya and Bu Huihui.

And Qi Yuan had already spoken:

“I apologize for startling you. I hope it won’t affect your mood for waiting for delicious food. As for this fat man’s attempted molestation and verbal abuse, the nearby cameras have captured the entire process. We will preserve the video evidence, and we will also act as witnesses, awaiting further processing by the public security organs.”

Hearing Qi Yuan say this, Zhang Xiaoya and Bu Huihui were visibly stunned.

This… this fast?

Shouldn’t the normal process be that both parties first verbally argue, then a physical conflict ensues, followed by the police arriving to take both parties for investigation, and simultaneously seeking witnesses for evidence?

How come, just at the beginning of the first step, the security personnel responsible for maintaining order at the snack stall had already announced they were taking over?

Bu Huihui looked at Zhang Xiaoya with a complicated expression.

This is the snack stall you said needed your help to patronize?

Zhang Xiaoya directly returned a bewildered expression.

I don’t know…
