Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Large and small bags hung from the young man's arms, his right hand held a mobile phone, the map app on the screen still spinning and loading, his left hand dragging a huge suitcase.

A thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, he frowned at the phone screen, looking somewhat anxious: "Baby wait a sec, the signal here at the airport isn't too good, I'll find it right away!"

His voice carried a hint of ingratiation, his fingers pressed the screen several times, but the screen still failed to load.

"Check later in the car, don't you see it's our turn in line already?"

The young woman didn't let him finish before letting out a dissatisfied hum, then turned and pulled open the taxi's rear door, diving inside and sitting down, weighing the taxi down so it sank slightly.

Seeing his girlfriend had no intention of helping with the suitcase either, the young man sighed helplessly.

After stuffing the suitcase and all the large and small bags on him into the taxi's trunk, he followed and sat in the rear seat as well.

Once the two were seated, the driver started the car and stepped on the gas to drive forward, while cheerfully asking: "Where are you two headed?"

"We're going to Lu Boss's place."

The young man still had his head down staring at the map loading page still spinning on his phone, saying casually.

No sooner had he spoken than his girlfriend beside him couldn't help rolling her eyes, smacking his arm with a speechless expression: "This is the airport! You just say go to Lu Boss's, how's the driver supposed to know which Lu Boss you mean?"

The young woman's voice rose a bit, carrying a trace of impatience: "I told you when we came to check the route early, and now you still haven't found it, really served by you!"

The young woman crossed her arms angrily, looking quite furious.

Hearing her words, the young man finally reacted with a start, patting his own head.

Right, "Lu Boss" isn't a place name, who knows which Lu Boss you're going to?

An embarrassed expression instantly appeared on his face, rendered speechless by his girlfriend's retort, just about to open his mouth to comfort her a couple sentences.

However at this moment, the driver in front suddenly laughed: "Lu Boss? You mean the Lu Boss of Lu Family Restaurant on Garden Road Food Street, right? I know that place."

The driver spoke while skillfully turning the steering wheel, the car driving steadily on the road.

"Huh?"

The two in the taxi's back seat instantly froze, looking at the driver in unison.

"Master, you know where we want to go?"

The young man asked with a face full of surprise.

"Of course!"

The driver opened the taxi's fare chart, saying with a look of sudden realization: "During this period I've been near the airport, every day I can pull at least ten passengers going there, you say Lu Boss and I know it's that place for sure."

"Baby look, the driver knows the way, now I don't need to check the route!"

The young man's eyes lit up, looking at his girlfriend beside him with a face full of pleasant surprise.

The young woman also put away her earlier dissatisfaction, glaring at the young man helplessly, turning to ask the driver with a smile: "Master, do you also often go eat at that Lu Boss's restaurant?"

The young woman asked with a face full of curiosity, the young man also leaned over, waiting with a face full of interest for the driver's answer.

"Oh, that I don't, I drive a taxi all day, where's the time to go queue for food there?"

The driver kept his eyes ahead, accelerating while laughing: "But during this time there's been a lot of passengers going to Lu Family Restaurant from the airport, went many times so got familiar, lots of out-of-town passengers get in and right away say they want to go there, making it like a tourist attraction, that surnamed Lu boss is pretty impressive, able to attract so many out-of-towners to eat at his place!"

"Master, how long to get there?"

The young man couldn't help asking, his mind already pondering what to eat later when they arrived.

"Lu Boss's place is twenty-some kilometers from the airport, right now it's the evening rush hour, driving over will take about half an hour."

The taxi reached an intersection, the driver stopped the car, glanced at the time and said: "You two going now, tonight being able to eat there is iffy, my passengers say Lu Family Restaurant closes at eight every night."

"No problem, driver just drive as fast as you can, if we can't make it today we'll go eat tomorrow."

The young woman waved her hand, saying indifferently.

"Got it."

The driver grinned, and after the intersection's red light turned green, stepped on the gas and drove off.

The taxi pulled this couple, driving steadily all the way toward Lu Family Restaurant.

…………

At exactly eight in the evening, Food Street was at its most lively and clamorous, yet Lu Family Restaurant's business hours had already arrived.

The diners queuing outside gradually dispersed to eat at other nearby restaurants, the diners in the hall also left one after another after finishing.

Hu Xiaoyun briskly cleared tableware from tables in the hall, movements light and meticulous.

Lu Feng walked out from the kitchen, two continuous hours of rapid dish output leaving a thin layer of sweat on him too.

He walked to the counter, enjoying a moment of coolness from the hall's air conditioning.

Lu Feng lowered his head to glance at his phone, thinking after closing he'd drop Hu Xiaoyun off at her roommate's place on the way, then he could also return to the villa early for a hot bath.

Just then, footsteps came from the shop entrance.

Lu Feng looked up, a couple walked in from outside, a huge suitcase and a pile of bags still placed at the door.

After entering the shop, the two walked straight toward Lu Feng at the counter.

"Sorry, today's business hours have ended."

Lu Feng pointed at the wall clock in the hall, saying to the two in a gentle tone: "Business starts again at six tomorrow evening, if you're here to eat, come back then."

Seeing they still carried a pile of luggage, he guessed these two were tourists who'd just arrived in Jiangcheng from out of town, and specially added: "I know a few well-reviewed hotels and guesthouses nearby, if needed I can recommend them for you."

"Hello, I'm Pang Lingling."

The young woman stopped at the counter, sweat dampening the hair on her forehead, breathing slightly heavily, taking the lead to introduce herself, then looking at Lu Feng and asking: "May I ask if you're this restaurant's Lu Boss?"

"Yes, hello."

Lu Feng nodded in response.

He didn't pay too much attention to the name Pang Lingling that the girl mentioned.

The name sounded like an online handle at first glance, a bit like the style used by internet influencers.

"Great, I knew I came to the right place."

Pang Lingling sized Lu Feng up from head to toe, her eyes lighting up involuntarily: "Hello, Boss Lu, did you know you're huge online right now? You're even more handsome in person than in the videos! We two came all the way to Jiangcheng by plane just to taste your culinary skills! By the way, by the way, we're kind of in the same line of work!"
