Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Xiao Feilong rubbed his chin, frowning as he thought for a while.

When he received the notice this morning, he had thought Lu Feng only invited these few streamers.

At that time, he hadn't felt anything was wrong.

He thought it should be Lu Feng thanking these few streamers for helping promote the shop.

But now looking at it, others who seemed to have nothing to do with shop promotion had also come.

This didn't seem like a simple thank-you banquet anymore.

Xiao Feilong scanned the room and counted the people.

Including them, there were fully twenty people here now.

This was a bit abnormal.

What had Lu Boss been stimulated by? Why suddenly invite so many people to eat?

"You say... Lu Boss wouldn't be planning to close the shop, right?"

Xiao Feilong hesitated for a moment, asking with a somewhat nervous tone: "You see, everyone who came today is an acquaintance, could this be... a disbandment dinner?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Manman beside him immediately widened her eyes, the mobile phone in her hand almost dropping to the ground: "No way? I still wanted to come eat every day in the future! If Lu Boss doesn't open the shop, where am I going to eat such delicious food!"

Zhang Chao beside him frowned and slapped Xiao Feilong's arm: "Don't talk nonsense! Lu Boss's shop is running well, how could he say close and just close?"

Even though he said this, he was also a bit suspicious in his heart.

Lu Feng had never treated anyone to a meal before, this time he invited so many people at once, and it was also a temporary notice,

various signs gave people a feeling that something was wrong, making it hard not to think in that direction.

"Why don't... you go ask?"

Gu Manman looked at Xiao Feilong and puckered her lips toward the direction of the kitchen.

Xiao Feilong looked at Lu Feng busy in the kitchen and decisively shook his head: "Manman, you ask, you're a girl, talking to Lu Boss doesn't require so many misgivings."

"I've only come a few times, haven't said several words to the boss, how can I be embarrassed to ask this kind of thing? You're familiar with the boss, you go ask."

Gu Manman said with a face full of conflict.

The two pushed and yielded to each other for a while, Li Wenyi couldn't stand it anymore and suggested: "Alright, you two settle down, wait until Lu Boss finishes being busy and comes out, we'll ask together."

The other three, after hearing this, all nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Qin Ye shook his fan, his gaze sweeping over the diners sitting in the hall, his eyes also showing some confusion: "Xiao Lu, what is he up to today? Treating us to a meal, why call so many people over?"

"Old Qin, why do you care so much? He's treating us to a meal, could he have any bad intentions?"

Liu Zhen Guo beside him waved his hand with an indifferent face, his gaze scanning back and forth over the price list on the wall: "The stir-fried pork with chili yesterday tasted good, and the rice was fragrant, but I haven't had enough of the red braised lion's head yet... what to eat later? It's worrying me to death!"

"All you know is eating!"

Qin Ye rolled his eyes at him unhappily, but soon his gaze also began scanning the wall, thinking for a while about what to order.

The others in the hall reacted similarly, sitting together discussing in low voices with confusion.

A sound of footsteps came from the direction of the kitchen, and Lu Feng smiled as he walked out.

"Made everyone wait."

Lu Feng's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, saying in a light tone: "Thank you all for your patronage, today everyone can order whatever they want to eat, I'm treating."

Xiao Feilong stood up with a "teng", saying loudly to Lu Feng: "Lu Boss, you..."

He had just spoken a sentence when he paused, his gaze sweeping over Gu Manman and the others.

Weren't we supposed to ask together?

Gu Manman and the others sat there properly, their gazes shifting elsewhere.

Damn! These guys have no loyalty.

Xiao Feilong complained silently.

The gazes of the others in the hall all fell on Xiao Feilong, so he had to bite the bullet and continue asking: "Lu Boss, you... are you alright?"

At this moment everyone in the hall was looking at him, and Xiao Feilong asked very tactfully.

Lu Feng was stunned, touching his head in confusion: "I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Xiao Feilong realized as soon as he heard it that his question was too vague, and quickly added: "No, I mean... that..."

Seeing him hee-hawing for a long time without making it clear, Gu Manman beside him couldn't help it anymore, simply stood up and asked loudly: "Let me say it then, Lu Boss, you called everyone over today to eat, is there a problem with the shop? Are you not planning to continue opening the shop?"

These words instantly quieted the hall, everyone looking at Lu Feng somewhat nervously.

Lu Feng saw everyone's nervous expressions and was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It's just treating everyone to a meal, what's there to make a fuss about?

Where did these people think?

"You misunderstood, today I invited you all just to thank everyone for their support and help all along, there's no other purpose, I'll still open the shop, everyone rest assured."

"Really? Then will Lu Boss still be open for business tonight?"

Gu Manman asked again somewhat uneasily.

"Of course open for business, if you're not at ease, I'll come over early tonight."

Lu Feng smiled and said.

Hearing Lu Feng say this, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Lu Boss, since today you're treating, can we order whatever we want?"

The one speaking was Zhu Chang, who had been first in line almost every day this week.

He patted his round belly, his small eyes shining, his face full of anticipation.

As a new regular at the shop, Zhu Chang thought everything about Lu Feng's shop was good.

It was just that he could only eat one portion each time he came, which was too unfriendly for a fat man like him.

Today he had the rare luck to catch Lu Feng treating them, and the thought he'd had for a long time of eating a few more dishes could no longer be hidden.

Not only was Zhu Chang looking forward to it, but others were watching Lu Feng with eager eyes.

"Hmm..."

Lu Feng deliberately sold a secret, his gaze sweeping over the people in the hall looking at him expectantly.

Xiao Feilong and the others nervously clenched their fists.

Lin Xi jumped down from the chair, gripping the table with both hands and standing on tiptoe.

Even Qin Ye and the other old men who had seen countless storms and waves couldn't help but hold their breath at this moment.

When everyone's appetite had been whetted enough, Lu Feng smiled and said, "It's fine, but there must be no waste."

He had already figured it out when he went back last night.

Since it was treating them to a meal, limiting each person to one portion would be a bit too much to justify.

Although this would deduct quite a bit of his own little money.

But being able to let these people eat happily, Lu Feng felt it was worth it.

"Great! Long live Boss Lu!"

Xiao Feilong couldn't help but stand up, excitedly raising his arms and shouting, "I've wanted to try for a long time what it tastes like to eat Boss Lu's Lion's Head together with Pig Trotter Noodles, and today my dream finally comes true!"
