Zhou Yang was both amused and exasperated, and quickly raised his voice to reassure everyone: "Don't rush, everyone! Take your time, everyone will get a share!"

He quickly set up his stall and began preparations.

He's all alone today, so he needs to be quick.

As the line grew longer and longer, Zhou Yang panicked.

He quickly said, "Everyone, please understand. I can't make too much braised food by myself. Those who want several or ten kilograms, please order a small amount, otherwise the later people won't be able to eat any!"

The fans in line couldn't help but purse their lips into pitiful wavy lines.

"Okay, boss..."

"Boss, I'm currently unemployed, but I can help you for free. Two pounds of braised pork will be my only reward..."

"Wow, you're dreaming!"

...

Although Zhou Yang was placed under a restriction order, his fans were not dissatisfied and the atmosphere was good.

Hey buddy, make way, make way!

Just then, a commotion broke out on the periphery of the crowd. Two burly men carrying professional cameras with a TV station's logo on them were struggling to push their way forward.

Behind them followed three well-dressed and exquisitely made-up young women.

The leader was a tall, fair-skinned, long-haired beauty wearing a fashionable dress and sunglasses.

She was accompanied by two equally handsome young men, one with a slightly calm demeanor, and the other with a sunny and energetic air.

These three people were like spotlights, attracting a lot of attention in the square as soon as they appeared.

"Huh? Isn't that... Qi Feifei?"

"Is that Zheng Zhongzhou next to him? And Hao Xuan too?"

"Wow! Three big stars? What are they doing here?"

A murmur and gasp arose from the crowd.

The three walked straight to Zhou Yang's stall, ignoring the long queue, with professional smiles on their faces.

The long-haired beauty took off her sunglasses, revealing a charming and beautiful face; she was none other than the popular young actress Qi Feifei.

She smiled sweetly at Zhou Yang and said in a pleasant voice, "Hello, you must be Mr. Zhou Yang? We are from the 'Starry Night Food' program team."

"I am guest Qi Feifei, and these two are my companions Zheng Zhongzhou and Hao Xuan."

Zheng Zhongzhou and Hao Xuan, who were standing next to him, nodded politely, but their eyes couldn't help but drift to the tempting braised food bubbling in Zhou Yang's pot, and their Adam's apples bobbed involuntarily.

This fragrance... it's so overpowering! I could smell it from way over there!

Qi Feifei maintained her perfect smile: "Boss Zhou, we are currently recording a special episode, searching for hidden culinary gems in the city."

"Your braised food stall is now a popular spot for internet celebrities in our city, so we'd like to come and film some photos, and also help promote your business, is that alright?"

As she spoke, two cameras were already pointed at Zhou Yang and his stall.

While busy with his work, Zhou Yang glanced at them, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

publicity?

They probably saw the popularity on my site and wanted to ride the wave of popularity while also satisfying their appetites.

His tone was calm and unwavering: "Publicity is fine, just film like this. But if you want to eat, please queue up at the back."

"queue?"

Qi Feifei's smile froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting Zhou Yang's answer.

Hao Xuan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but interject, his tone a little urgent: "Boss, we're recording a show here, and time is very tight. Do you think we could..."

"cannot."

Zhou Yang interrupted him decisively, his hands still moving, "If you're in a hurry, that's your business. Here, everyone has to follow the rules, first come, first served."

"If you're really in such a rush, don't waste your time here. Go shoot somewhere else."

He's so busy today he doesn't have time to serve these big stars.

Upon hearing this, the crowd in line erupted in cheers!

"Well said! Why don't celebrities have to wait in line?"

"Exactly! We've been waiting for ages!"

"The boss is domineering! He won't tolerate them!"

"Hurry up and go, don't keep us from buying braised food!"

Some diners who were initially hesitant because the other party was a celebrity suddenly felt more confident after seeing Zhou Yang's firm attitude.

He pointed and gestured at Qi Feifei and the other two, his words full of dissatisfaction.

The expressions on Qi Feifei and the other two's faces instantly turned rather unpleasant.

As popular celebrities, they are always surrounded by entourages and enjoy special treatment wherever they go.

Today I actually got humiliated at a small braised food stall and was even surrounded and criticized by so many ordinary people?

Qi Feifei took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure and salvage the situation: "Mr. Zhou, you may not realize it, but the three of us together have a huge fan base. This shoot is a great opportunity for you to gain exposure, which will benefit your business..."

"Not interested."

Zhou Yang didn't even look up, just waved his hand, his tone clearly impatient.

"Hurry up and get out of my way, don't block my business! I'm the only one here today, I'm busy!"

He just wants to finish serving these customers in line as soon as possible; he doesn't have the time to put on any show for them.

"you!"

Hao Xuan, young and hot-blooded, was so angry at Zhou Yang's dismissive attitude that his face turned red, and he almost lost his temper.

Zheng Zhongzhou, who was standing next to him, was relatively calmer and helped him up, but his face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

The fans in line, not wanting to miss out on the fun, joined in the jeering and mocking.

"Hahaha! You got humiliated, didn't you!"

"Just because you're a celebrity doesn't mean you can cut in line!"

"You really think you're something special! Don't you even know if Boss Zhou even pays you any attention?"

"Exactly! They have no sincerity whatsoever. They tried to come and get special treatment without even giving us a heads-up. Get lost!"

Mocking and laughter rose and fell.

Qi Feifei and the other two were so angry that they trembled all over, their faces burning with rage, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

When have they ever suffered such humiliation?

However, what Zhou Yang and the diners who were excitedly maintaining order and mocking the celebrity were unaware of was...

The two cameras, which appeared to be simply "recording," had red indicator lights flashing above their lenses.

They are live-streaming!

Meanwhile, on various live streaming platforms, the official live stream room of "Starry Night" was already buzzing with comments!

"Holy crap! What's going on? Goddess Feifei, Brother Zhou, and Brother Xuan got slapped by a street vendor?"

"Who is this stall owner? He's so arrogant, daring to talk to celebrities like that?"

"What the hell! You're so ungrateful! Your older siblings are doing you a favor by promoting you!"

"Exactly! He's just a braised meat vendor, what's with the attitude!"

"Those people in line are idiots! They actually helped outsiders insult celebrities? A bunch of idiots!"

"I'm so angry! How dare he insult my Feifei! Brothers and sisters, let's go after him! Doxx him!"

"Where's the address? Let's go smash his stall!"
