Lu Feng
"Alright alright alright, I'll listen to you, will it work if I move it away?"
The bespectacled man said through gritted teeth, ten thousand kinds of unwilling in his heart.
But the other party is the management unit; even if he is ten thousand kinds of unwilling, he can only comply.
"Thanks for your cooperation."
Little Sun nodded; although the bespectacled man had already agreed to cooperate and move the machine, she had no intention of leaving.
Judging by her stance, if the bespectacled man didn't move the machine, she didn't plan to leave.
The bespectacled man also saw it; today this vending machine absolutely had to be moved.
He was holding in anger with nowhere to vent it, and in a blink his gaze locked onto the two movers standing to the side.
The two stood to the side, looking like it had nothing to do with them.
"What are you two spacing out for? Why aren't you hurrying up and moving the machine over there? I paid money!"
The bespectacled man shouted loudly; he didn't dare lose his temper at Little Sun from the Street Office.
But toward those two movers responsible for moving the machine, he wasn't the least bit polite.
He directly vented the resentment in his heart on the two of them.
Those two movers also heard it; the bespectacled man was taking it out on them, and their faces turned ugly.
One of the burly movers lifted his head and said in a deep muffled voice: "Boss, when you called us you said just move the machine to this spot and our job would be done; now you want to change the spot, you have to pay extra!"
"What nonsense?"
The bespectacled man seemed to have heard a joke.
He pointed at the Braised Food Shop, his eyes glaring round with rage: "Just three or four meters of distance, and you still want extra money? You're not joking with me, are you?"
"That we don't care about."
The other mover also spoke, tone stiff: "Anyway our moving task from when we arrived is already done; moving again now is a separate charge. The distance isn't far so I can give you a discount, fifty bucks, otherwise we don't move."
After he finished speaking, he leisurely fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and passed one to his burly coworker beside him.
The two smoked leisurely, looking at the bespectacled man with couldn't-care-less faces.
When the bespectacled man had them move the machine, his words were very mean; they'd long found him an eyesore.
Originally a three-or-four-meter spot; if he'd spoken nicely, they might've been willing to just move the vending machine over as a favor.
But he had to act like a grandpa, his tone not polite in the slightest.
Treating us like punching bags, huh?
Your grandpa won't serve you anymore!
"Who does business like you two?"
The Braised Food Shop proprietress walked out from inside the shop, pointing at the two movers' noses and shouting: "Isn't this extortion? With an attitude like yours, don't think I won't go to your company and complain about you two!"
Just now when the bespectacled man was talking to Little Sun, she had stayed hidden inside the shop and didn't come out.
She wasn't stupid enough to clash with Street Office people.
The bespectacled man doesn't work on this Food Street side; afterward he can just pat his butt and leave.
Her Braised Food Shop still has to stay open on Food Street.
If she offends Street Office people, they'll come to her shop for all kinds of inspections every three days.
Then would she still be able to run this shop?
Although she didn't dare offend Street Office people, she didn't put these two movers in her eyes at all.
Just now hearing the bespectacled man dispute with the two, and them wanting extra money for just this bit of distance, her anger flared up instantly.
"Anyway our stuff has already been moved to you; you want to complain, go complain wherever you want."
A mover exhaled a mouthful of smoke, attitude still couldn't-care-less.
"Just this far and you still want to charge? I refuse to give! Even if I threw this money to a beggar, I wouldn't give it to you two!"
The proprietress's nose was crooked with rage; she akimboed and loudly declared very toughly.
"If you put it that way, then we'll leave first."
The lanky mover, hearing the proprietress's sharp mean words, also got angry inside.
He stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette in the garbage bin, turned around and was about to leave.
That burly companion followed along too.
"Go go go, hurry up and go!"
The proprietress coldly snorted: "Really think this old lady has no way? You won't lift it, fine! This old lady can lift it over herself!"
She spoke while rolling up her sleeves, hugging the vending machine and straining to heave it up.
The proprietress exerted force lifting once, nearly threw out her back, face flushed red from holding breath.
However the vending machine only swayed lightly twice; its position still didn't change.
This vending machine looks over a person tall; how could she possibly lift it alone?
"Young brother, come lend a hand, the two of us lift it over together!"
The proprietress panted two rough breaths, shouting a sentence at the bespectacled man to the side.
"Then you two slowly lift it yourselves, we're leaving."
Those two movers looked back once, smiles appearing on their faces.
But no matter how one looked at that smile, it was full of mockery.
At the entrance of Lu Feng's shop, the diners had already begun to line up, and this scene was also just right seen clearly by them.
The backs of those two porters disappeared at the street corner, and the diners immediately started discussing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly all walks of life, watching it just makes one feel relieved."
Zhu Chang, standing at the very front of the line, had eyes full of satisfaction, and said with a smile.
"Those two porters weren't wrong, really thought paying money makes you a big shot? Let's see how they end up later!"
The diners behind him immediately chimed in, also wearing faces full of schadenfreude.
"These two really thought others have no temper? Now it's good, reaped what they sowed, right? Truly deserved."
"This machine I see weighs no less than three hundred catties, let's see how they move it later, hahaha..."
"The boss lady is tiger-backed and bear-waisted, that young man I see is quite skinny, you look at his thin arms and legs, his waist isn't even as thick as the boss lady's arm, looks a bit weak..."
"What, feeling sorry for the boss lady? Why don't you go up and lend them a hand too?"
"Scram to the side, if you want to go then you go! I'm standing on Boss Lu's side, just now when they were saying sarcastic words everyone heard it, whoever goes to help now is betraying Boss Lu!"
The diners discussed sentence by sentence, all with faces of watching the excitement.
The bespectacled man originally thought to eat a silent loss, give those two porters fifty yuan to move it and be done.
Who knew the boss lady would rush out and unleash a torrent of abuse, directly angering those two porters into leaving.
By the time he reacted, those two porters had already walked out very far.
Now there was no other way, Little Sun was still watching from the side, just waiting for them to carry the machine to the braised food shop entrance.
That group of people at Lu Feng's shop entrance, all watched this side with faces of schadenfreude.
Wanting them to help, that's impossible, still have to rely on oneself.
The bespectacled man sighed, rolled up his sleeves and stood beside the vending machine, struggling to lift it together with the boss lady.
