Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Zhao Zhenhui, who had remained silent beside him, spoke with a calm expression, his voice carrying a hint of teasing: "In a moment, you two just watch and see if you can still take advantage of Boss Lu today."

After speaking, he gave Qian Laoban a look: "General Manager Qian, let's go queue up too; Boss Lu should be opening soon."

Qian Laoban smiled and nodded, and the two turned and walked toward Lu Feng's Shop.

The bespectacled man and the female boss exchanged a glance, both seeing disdain in each other's eyes.

"What's the big deal! Having money makes you something special? Two upstarts, coming here to put on airs!"

The female boss watched Zhao Zhenhui and the other man's departing figures and spat fiercely on the ground.

She had thought two big clients had arrived and had been planning to curry favor with them.

Who would have thought they were here to pick a fight—what bad luck!

I'm just selling drinks here; what business is it of yours two?

The bespectacled man put both hands in his trouser pockets and said arrogantly: "Just now, what they meant was that today that kid surnamed Lu isn't easy to take advantage of? I don't believe it, so what if I take advantage of him!"

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt, so he simply headed toward the Braised Food Shop, saying as he walked: "Still saying don't leave, watch the show? Fine, today I really am not leaving; I want to see who watches whose show later!"

"Exactly, these two are just meddling where they don't belong!"

The female boss followed the bespectacled man into the Braised Food Shop, her voice full of disdain: "I don't believe it either; yesterday the drinks sold so well, today there really won't be anyone buying? Later I'll let them see for themselves!"

The bespectacled man really didn't plan to leave; he plopped down inside the Braised Food Shop, holding his phone and leisurely scrolling through short videos.

Just waiting for Lu Feng's Shop to open for business later, to recreate yesterday's scene of brisk drink sales.

…………

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was one in the afternoon, the time Lu Feng's Shop began business.

The entrance to Lu Feng's Shop became lively again, with diners queuing up to enter the shop one by one to order and eat.

Because the news that Lu Feng's Shop had lifted purchase limits spread, many new diners came today as well.

Old Zhou, who worked nearby, walked toward Lu Feng's Shop with light steps.

Behind him followed two slightly reserved young people.

Old Zhou was a regular at Lu Feng's Shop, and the two young people behind him were new employees Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu who had just joined their company today.

After finishing their employment formalities this morning, the two were unfamiliar with the surrounding environment and had originally planned to order takeout.

However, as their leader, Old Zhou felt he should show some care for the newcomers, so he simply suggested taking the two to eat at Lu Feng's Shop.

Although the things sold at Lu Feng's Shop were not cheap.

But with Old Zhou's salary, treating the two to a meal was no pressure at all.

"Manager Zhou, where are we going to eat?"

Seeing Old Zhou leading the way ahead without any sign of stopping for a long time, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.

After arriving at Food Street, his gaze kept scanning the shops and stalls of all sizes.

But Old Zhou ahead didn't even ask them which one they wanted to eat at; it seemed he had already decided in his heart.

"You'll know in a moment; I often eat at this shop, I guarantee that after you eat here once, you'll want to come every day!"

Old Zhou smiled and pointed toward Lu Feng's Shop not far ahead.

The two looked in the direction Old Zhou pointed; a long queue had formed at the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop, and diners were slowly walking into Lu Feng's Shop.

"So many people? When will this queue end?"

Xiao Wu was frightened by the length of the queue and couldn't help muttering softly.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Lin beside him patted his shoulder and pointed to the side.

Xiao Wu turned his head and saw the vending machine beside the Braised Food Shop, filled with colorful drinks.

He couldn't help but brighten up, exchanged a glance with Xiao Lin, and the two walked toward the vending machine in unison.

"Hey? Where are you two going?" Old Zhou turned around and called them to stop.

"Manager Zhou, it's too hot today, I'm a bit thirsty now; buy a bottle of cola to quench my thirst. What drink do you want? Cola or iced black tea? I'll treat you."

The two stopped, and Xiao Wu smiled, took out his phone, and said to Old Zhou behind him.

This morning they had employment formalities, training, and filling out forms, and hadn't even had time to drink water; they were already dying of thirst.

The queue at Lu Feng's Shop was so long that they might not be able to eat even after half an hour.

With the big sun beating down on their heads, not drinking something would be too uncomfortable.

Moreover, since they were out to eat with their leader now, they should buy the leader a drink to give him a good impression.

This was also the first step for them, as workplace rookies just entering the field, to build interpersonal relationships.

"What drink? Oh right, I forgot to tell you when we came."

Old Zhou slapped his head, quickly waved his hand, and pointed to the small blackboard at the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop: "Boss Lu has a new rule today; don't drink beverages before eating, it will affect the taste of the food; you can look over there yourselves."

"There's such a thing?"

The two were stunned at the same time and glanced at the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop.

The writing on the small blackboard was too far away to see clearly, but Old Zhou looked serious when he spoke, and it didn't seem fake.

"I always drink beverages when I eat; I've never heard of such a thing."

Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance and said with eyes full of doubt.

"What Boss Lu says is definitely not wrong."

Old Zhou looked certain and then advised: "You two listen to me, don't go buy cola; later at Boss Lu's shop you can eat a few more dishes, you definitely won't lose out."

Even so, looking at row after row of drinks in the vending machine, the two still couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Manager Zhou, there are so many people queuing; if we don't drink something, it'll be really uncomfortable."

Xiao Wu licked his somewhat dry lips and said in a low voice.

Just then, a girl's clear voice came from the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop.

"Are you new? There's free soy milk to get at Lu Boss's shop!"

The three looked toward the sound and saw several people busy pouring soy milk into cups at the small stall beside the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop.

The one who had just spoken was a girl with some baby fat, but she looked very cute.

She was Gu Manman, one of the food anchors who had come to help today.

"Free soy milk?"

Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and they immediately became interested.

Hearing there was free soy milk to drink, the two of them couldn't even bother to appreciate a pretty girl like Gu Manman.

Let alone going to buy soy milk at the vending machine.

Cola is indeed delicious.

But compared with those two words "free," it instantly lost its advantage.
