Chapter 18: Ji Jingchuan is like this, you say he is immoral...

Feng Ye finally managed to attract a tourist, but when he brought him back, he found that there was already a long queue in front of their rice ball stall.

Shang Que moved a chair and sat next to the stall to collect amusement coins. After asking the customers what shape of rice balls they wanted, he just glanced to the side and Ji Jingchuan, who was wearing gloves, made them quickly.

Puppies, rabbits, pandas, all lifelike animals are created easily in his hands.

Every child who got one of these rice balls couldn't help but exclaim in delight. Gradually, more and more people were attracted to the stall, and the line in front of the stall stretched over ten meters.

Feng Ye suppressed his surprise, walked up quickly and asked, "I'm back, is there anything I can help with?"

Shang Que glanced back at him and nodded, "Yes." She gestured to Jiang Yize and Lin Jinyi, who were mingling in the queue, and entrusted them with an important task: "Go stop them."

"Stop...them?"

"Yes, to prevent them from coming here to scam people or steal coins." Shang Que said as he stuffed the collected amusement coins into his purse, then tightened the opening and held it tightly in his hand. He looked so serious that he didn't seem to be joking.

But the words "pengci" and "stealing coins" are too niche to be used here. Feng Ye asked in shock: "Can you still do this? This is too unethical!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan turned around and looked over at the same time.

Feng Ye's eyelids jumped: "What, what happened?"

[Hahahaha, what's wrong? You scolded both of them with just one sentence.]

[Guess how Shang Que knew these two words? Of course, she had done this before.]

[This really can't be blamed on Feng Ye. He was just trying to attract customers, but who knew his two teammates had already started a business war?]

"Nothing, it's okay if you don't want to go." Shang Que said with a smile, "It just so happens that we are still short of a storefront."

Feng Ye didn't want to do something that was thankless, lest he fail to stop the person and offend Lin Jinyi and Jiang Yize instead. So upon hearing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "What do you need me to do?"

Ji Jingchuan casually pointed at the sign advertising the Emperor's Rice Balls and said, "Stand over there and greet the guests. When someone comes, shout, 'The Emperor has arrived. Your servant greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor.'"

He emphasized: "Pay attention to your tone and be a little flattering, act like a father-in-law."

Feng Ye turned and left: "I'll go stop them."

【Hahahaha, it would have been better if this had happened earlier. 】

[I suspect Ji Jingchuan did it on purpose.]

You're right to be suspicious. Ji Jingchuan is like this. If you call him a bad person, he'll show you right then and there.

[But don't say that this emotional value is completely maxed out. If I were you, I would definitely buy it.]

[The promotional sign for that day's rice balls will have to be changed to "Genius on the left, Father-in-law on the right."]

Feng Ye couldn't afford to lose face, so he found Lin Jinyi and Jiang Yize, who thought they were disguised well, in the queue, and asked with a friendly smile, "Don't you sell ice jelly? Why are you queuing here?"

He still had the nerve to bring this up? This was definitely a provocation!

Lin Jinyi was so angry that she almost cursed out loud, but she had plans to carry out right now, so she didn't act impulsively. Instead, she winked at the person beside her.

Jiang Yize immediately understood and put his arm around Feng Ye's shoulders, dragging him away: "Brother, you look quite tall, about 1.8 meters, right?"

"1.86 meters." Feng Ye reacted very alertly. Realizing that Lin Jinyi was still in the team, he struggled a few times but couldn't break free. He hurriedly said, "Wait--"

Jiang Yize didn't give him a chance to stop. He directly put his arm around his shoulders and dragged him forward, saying with emotion: "You only grow taller but don't exercise. How come you have so little strength?"

【Feng Ye: Tall, weak, and helpless.】

[I wonder if Shang Que would regret sending him into battle after seeing this scene.]

[Hahaha, Fengye said I wanted to stop it but was suppressed by force.]

Shang Que didn't expect Feng Ye to stop them from the beginning, so she was not surprised at all to see Lin Jinyi in front of the stall.

"Give me some rice balls."

When Ji Jingchuan saw that it was her, he refused without thinking: "Not for sale."

"Not selling?" Lin Jinyi raised her eyebrows and immediately took advantage of the situation, raising her voice, "Why not? It's not like I'm not paying. Is this how you treat your customers?"

"We see each other every day. Just come to me whenever you want to eat some." Shang Que said with a smile, "We have a limited number of rice balls for this garden party. To make sure more tourists can eat them, I won't sell you any. I'll make you another one when we get back."

She said this without revealing a single word, and then casually mentioned, "It's mainly because there are too many people queuing right now. If you were like Lu Zhixu and came to buy it before when there were fewer people, I would have sold it to you."

Lin Jinyi was stunned: "Lu Zhixu has been here?"

"Yes," Shang Que nodded and said frankly, "If he hadn't given us a coin, how would Ji Jingchuan have the money to buy ice jelly from you?"

Lin Jinyi's brows suddenly furrowed, and something seemed to flash through his mind.

That’s right! When Ji Jingchuan pretended to be unconscious, the voice that came out from the crowd during the chaos seemed to be Lu Zhixu.

Thinking of this, Lin Jinyi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and then stomped her feet vigorously: "Damn it, we were all deceived by him!"

Shang Que was puzzled: "Who cheated me?"

"Of course it's Lu Zhixu. You're so stupid that you don't even know he's taking advantage of you." Lin Jinyi turned around and left. "No, I have to settle the score with him."

[I'm dying of laughter. How could Lin Jinyi say something like "Shang Que is stupid" so seriously?]

It's just like when a top student explained a problem to me in school, and I swore that his answer was wrong.

[Hahaha, Miss, can you only think in one direction? Shang Que was used by Lu Zhixu, but you were also used by her.]

【What a good trick to divert trouble away. 】

Not long after Lin Jinyi stormed off, someone suddenly called out, "They're buying one ice jelly and getting one free over there. Anyone want to share the order with me?"

Then another voice rang out: "The tourists can get the ice cream themselves. No matter how high the bet is, it only costs one coin. Isn't this going to make back the money?"

Upon hearing this, the people who had been queuing to buy rice balls suddenly left. Ji Jingchuan had just finished making one, but the child at the stall was hesitant, holding onto the amusement coins and unwilling to give them away.

Shang Que saw his embarrassment and took the initiative to say, "It's okay if you don't want it. I'm hungry, so you can give me this."

The child's eyes lit up, he said "thank you" several times, turned around and ran quickly towards the ice cream shop.

After a while, the other two groups got loudspeakers from somewhere and started shouting louder and louder:

"Unlimited refills of ice jelly toppings!"

“You can use your own cup to catch the ice cream!”

"Buy ice jelly and get a photo with a celebrity for free!"

"Buy ice cream and get the actor's autograph!"

A gust of wind blew by, and only lonely leaves were left floating on the ground in front of the rice ball stall.

"Everyone has run away." Ji Jingchuan frowned and said unhappily, "Why are they still bidding maliciously?"

Shang Que poured the amusement coins from his purse onto the chair, counted them, and said, "It doesn't matter. We've already won anyway."

"Won? How did you win? Isn't it over yet?"

"Because the garden party limits admission to 100 people, there are 37 coins here. After the two groups pay the stall rent, they will definitely have less left than us."

Ji Jingchuan was stunned: "Wait, how did you know the limit was 100 people?"

"It's written on it." Shang Que took out the invitation to the garden party and moved the camera closer and closer, only then could he barely capture the smallest font printed in the corner: The number of people at this garden party is limited to 100.

"Each person gets one amusement coin, and there are only 100 coins in total for the entire venue. If all three of us rent the show's stall, someone will definitely end up in debt."

[What? Were we tricked by the production team again? ]

[The director even tricked everyone into renting a stall in the beginning. How insidious!]

"How can this be considered insidious? Doing business is risky, and it is normal to have gains and losses." The director defended himself.

However, the people on the sofa didn't believe it at all. The garden party was over, and they finally realized that they had been tricked by the production team again.

Lin Jinyi snorted coldly: "Trusting you is the biggest risk."

"That's right!" Jiang Yize agreed. "Director, your credibility with us is now zero."

Ning Sheng added softly, "It's a negative number."

Even Lu Zhixu nodded expressionlessly.

Unable to bear the heavy gazes from the crowd, the director quickly changed the subject, announcing loudly, "Let us congratulate Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan for winning the title of 'Garden Party Stars'! The program team will now present them with commemorative medals."

Huanhai Amusement Park releases a commemorative badge every year. Since this year's fair was sponsored by them, the medals used were the new commemorative badges. In addition, Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan received lifetime free admission to the park, while Feng Ye, as a temporary guest, received ten tickets with no time limits.

After the variety show ended, Shang Que returned home and opened the cabinet in his study. Inside the black velvet box on the top shelf, several similar badges were neatly arranged. Due to their age, the surface was somewhat faded.

Huanhai Amusement Park is a childhood memory for most children in Jinghai, and that's true. It's the oldest amusement park in Jinghai and boasts the most attractions. Despite years of renovations and expansion, Huanhai Amusement Park remains a top attraction, even as new parks spring up like mushrooms after rain.

When they were young, Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan often went there to play, and they bought commemorative badges every year until she went abroad and was forced to stop.

Shang Que placed the newly acquired badges on the table. The year was engraved on the bottom of each badge, and there was a full seventeen years between it and the one next to it.

Shang Que suddenly frowned. It seemed like she hadn't been to an amusement park in a long time. Due to the nature of her work, she rarely went to such crowded places in recent years.

But now I have got a lifetime free admission to the park for free, it seems a bit of a waste not to go, right?

Thinking of this, Shang Que opened his phone and was about to pick a suitable date when a message suddenly popped up on WeChat.

[The Idiot in the Galaxy]: Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go to Ocean Park?

【The First Idiot in the Galaxy】: The day after tomorrow is also fine

【The First Idiot in the Galaxy】: It’s not impossible to do it the day after tomorrow

【Shang Que】:?

[The First Idiot in the Galaxy]: I have time this month

[The other party withdrew a message]

[The First Idiot in the Galaxy]: Didn’t Huanhai Paradise give us free admission? The company wants me to go there with Feng Ye to do a live broadcast to promote it. You happen to be there too, so do you want to come along?

[The First Idiot in the Galaxy]: Give the Sponsors Some Face

[Shang Que]: Good

[The First Idiot in the Galaxy]: When are we going? My time is very precious. I have to see if I am free that day.

【Shang Que】: Tomorrow

[The First Idiot in the Galaxy]: Shang Que, you are so lucky, I don’t have any plans tomorrow

【Shang Que】：^-^

【The First Idiot in the Galaxy】: o'v'o

Ji Jingchuan looked at the WeChat chat interface, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

He has already planned it out. Tomorrow he will say that Feng Ye cannot come due to some urgent matter, so that he and Shang Que can go to the amusement park alone!

However, at this time, someone suddenly @ him in the ST group.

【Bian Du】：Is Chuan free tomorrow? @The First Genius in the Universe

[The First Genius in the Universe]: No time, going to the amusement park

【A Maple Leaf】: Seaside Paradise?

【The First Genius in the Universe】: Uh-huh

【A maple leaf】：Just by chance

[The First Genius of the Universe]: What do you mean? You want to go too?

【Qin Xian】: Let’s all go together @The First Genius in the Universe

['The Universe's Greatest Genius' has left the group chat]
