Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Liu Zhen Guo and Zhao Jian Hua, the two of them standing to the side, also had faces full of excitement; Liu Zhen Guo reached out his hand, wanting to snatch it: "Hey hey, Old Xu, let me have a look!"

Xu Shao Ying clutched the red ball in his hand tightly, a smug smile appearing on his face: "Looks like this old man's luck isn't bad today, I get to eat roast duck today!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the red ball into his pocket.

"Old Xu, you can't hog this roast duck all to yourself! Yesterday everyone agreed, whoever draws the red ball treats the others to eat, the four of us brothers can split it perfectly!"

Liu Zhen Guo smacked his lips, looking at Xu Shao Ying and saying loudly.

"Relax, I haven't forgotten the rules!"

Xu Shao Ying rolled his eyes at Liu Zhen Guo, then said with a smile: "Today's roast duck, you few won't miss out!"

"That's more like it."

Liu Zhen Guo patted Xu Shao Ying's shoulder, hehe-ing with a laugh.

Zhu Chang, holding the lucky draw box to the side, opened his mouth, originally wanting to ask if they wanted to chip in together.

But seeing the stance of Grandpa Qin and the others surrounding Xu Shao Ying, he silently closed his mouth again.

These four old grandpas usually eat together in a group, and now this roast duck is probably going to be split among the four of them.

I'm an outsider, and I'm not that close with them, how could I have the nerve to squeeze in?

But Zhu Chang wasn't discouraged either.

There was still one red ball left in the box; today's roast duck, he still had hope of eating it.

After all, most of the diners coming to Lu Feng's shop come alone.

Even if they come together, it's only two or three people.

Groups of several people coming together like Grandpa Qin and them are still comparatively few.

When the time comes, even if I don't draw the red ball myself, as long as I try to find someone, I'll definitely be able to meet someone willing to partner up and chip in.

"Come come come! Next one keep coming! There's still one red ball, let's see who the last one falls to!"

Zhu Chang cleared his throat and continued walking toward the back of the queue.

The subsequent lucky draw was still extraordinarily lively, diners scrambling to take turns drawing.

Every so often a white ball would be drawn out by the diners.

As the balls in the box became fewer and fewer, Zhu Chang's heart also began to grow nervous.

When those diners drew, his eyes stared dead at their drawing hands, afraid the next second a red ball would be drawn out.

Only a few balls were left in the box, yet the second red ball still hadn't shown its face.

Zhu Chang's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

Maybe today Lady Luck really would favor him.

…………

"General Manager Fang, we're not late today, right? Why are there so many people queuing here?"

In the middle of the queue, today still fully armed, Tian Xiaolin was standing on tiptoe looking forward at the diners queuing ahead, asking Fang Yuan in front of her with a face full of surprise.

Yesterday when she came with her agent, there wasn't a single person in Lu Feng's shop.

She originally thought this kind of roadside small restaurant, no matter how many people came to eat, wouldn't be that many.

Didn't expect that upon arriving she'd discover, the number of diners queuing here far, far exceeded her imagination.

"I told you long ago, Lu Boss's culinary skill isn't just famous on Food Street, even in this whole Jiangcheng area it's renowned as good, it's not even the busiest time yet, wait a bit and the queue will get even longer!"

Fang Yuan turned her head and smiled.

Then she paused, and continued: "Also, we're not in the Company now, so don't call me General Manager Fang, I'm a few years older than you, just call me Jie."

"Okay Yuan Yuan Jie!"

Tian Xiaolin immediately changed her address, nodding happily.

Although this was her first time cooperating with Fang Yuan, she felt this female CEO was gentle and professional.

Now the other party let her call her Jiejie, she instantly felt the relationship with the other party had grown much closer.

Right at this moment, a steady male voice came from behind Tian Xiaolin, carrying a few degrees of rigorous tone.

"That... Miss Tian, Sister Chen specifically instructed me before leaving, you only drank a box of pure milk for breakfast today, fasting time too long, when you eat later, still suggest you pick some light things, avoid irritating the stomach and intestines."

The speaker was a sturdily built man, he was the nutritionist and fitness coach in Tian Xiaolin's team, Zhao Qifeng.

He held a black notebook in his hand, densely recorded with Tian Xiaolin's diet and exercise plan for this week.

Even the protein and calorie intake for every meal were marked clearly.

Today at noon when Fang Yuan brought Tian Xiaolin to leave, agent Yang Zhen still felt, not following along was a bit uneasy.

So she simply had Zhao Qifeng come along together.

The reason for having a professional follow was fear Tian Xiaolin couldn't help but eat and drink indiscriminately.

"Aiya, I know I know."

Tian Xiaolin nodded, too lazy to even turn her head back, gaze still tightly fixed on the direction of the Lu Family Restaurant's gate.

"Coach Zhao works really conscientiously, more responsible than my assistant, any interest in coming to be my assistant?"

Fang Yuan turned her head, looking at Zhao Qifeng and joking with a smile.

"Thank you General Manager Fang for the appreciation, but I am Miss Tian's personal trainer, temporarily no plans to jump ship."

Zhao Qifeng's expression didn't change a single bit, tone still rigorous as he spoke.

He flipped open the notebook in his hand and continued speaking earnestly, "Miss Tian, Sister Chen also said you haven't done any aerobic exercise today, and yesterday your exercise amount was also reduced by half an hour. To maintain your current figure, you absolutely cannot eat high-calorie food in a bit."

"Okay okay, rest assured, I won't eat myself into a fat person."

Tian Xiaolin frowned, still saying without turning her head.

"Miss Tian, Sister Chen also said..."

Zhao Qifeng's rigorous voice sounded again, still wanting to continue saying something.

Tian Xiaolin finally became a bit impatient, only feeling like there was a bee buzzing around her ears.

She couldn't help turning around, saying somewhat dissatisfied, "Hey, you're so verbose! I just came to eat a meal, and you've been nagging all the way — now saying this can't be eaten, now saying that can't be touched, nagging endlessly, annoying to death! How about this, when we eat in a bit you just don't follow us in, we few will go in to eat, you wait for us at the door, saves me from not being able to eat properly with you watching."

"Miss Tian, that won't do."

Zhao Qifeng smiled bitterly helplessly, "After all, Sister Chen repeatedly instructed when she left to follow you without leaving your side a single step. If you find it troublesome, why don't you call her and apply for a change?"

Hearing him say this, Tian Xiaolin's momentum weakened all at once.

Although she felt Zhao Qifeng was a bit annoying, she knew this was also his duty.

Manager Yang Zhen's temper, even Tian Xiaolin herself was a bit wary of.

But she really couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance in the air, having already come here.

If she didn't eat a good meal, wouldn't this trip have been for nothing?
