As soon as Wang Xiaojuan entered the venue, she noticed a series of gazes fixed on her, and some people even huddled together and whispered among themselves.

When she looked over, she immediately stopped talking and pretended to be busy with what she was doing, just like those gossipy aunties in the village.

Gu An'an certainly noticed those gazes, but she didn't care. If things really came looking for her, she couldn't escape them anyway, so worrying was useless.

"Don't worry, this is a society governed by the rule of law. No one would dare to crack our skulls open in public."

Wang Xiaojuan was amused by her words, and her tense mood eased.

Watch it if you want! It won't hurt you anyway.

With their heads held high and chests out, the group walked to their little corner.

After the stall was set up, Gu An'an opened the food bucket she had brought over, took out two bowls, and gave Wang Xiaojuan a bowl of porridge each, topped with spicy cabbage from the food factory. They stood at the entrance of the trade fair and ate their porridge.

Before leaving, they asked Wang Wende to bring bread slices and jam to keep up with them.

After the fair-skinned, blue-eyed man finished his performance, it was Wang Wende's turn to do a mukbang, with Gu An'an providing the straight man in English.

When people with yellow skin passed by, she and Wang Xiaojuan would eat and exaggerate their praises, attracting the attention of passing foreign businessmen. Some of them even asked to have a bite to try.

"Director Gan, there are a few people having breakfast at the entrance of the exhibition hall."

Gan Laifa frowned and asked, "People who are here to participate in the exhibition? Where are they from?"

The person immediately replied, "They seem to be from Shuangshan City, one of them is that girl who speaks fluent English."

Gan Laifa knew Gu An'an's background perfectly well, and as soon as he heard it was her, he immediately guessed her intentions.

Haha, she truly deserves to be the future granddaughter-in-law of the old leader.

"Director Gan, should we send someone to talk to them?"

"What did you say? They blocked the way into the venue?"

The man quickly shook his head. "The road isn't blocked, but isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Do we have explicit rules against eating breakfast at the entrance?"

The man continued to shake his head. That was definitely not the case, but it was obvious that they weren't eating breakfast just for the sake of eating breakfast. Who eats two meals a day for breakfast?

Gan Laifa said with a smile, "We hold this exhibition to generate foreign exchange through exports. Since some people are racking their brains to do so, why should we discourage their enthusiasm?"

"Alright, go keep an eye on them and see how many orders they can make today. If anyone causes trouble, help mediate."

If he hadn't been so busy, he would have gone by himself.

Everyone working here is shrewd. They could sense the bias in Gan Laifa's tone and guess that Gu An'an and Director Gan might have some connection. They immediately went to do as instructed.

Meanwhile, Gu An'an had already gotten orders for kimchi, vegetables, and nuts through her breakfast strategy, and had also gotten orders for jam.

When they returned to the stall after eating what they had brought, they were immediately showered with compliments from everyone.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! This breakfast was totally worth it!"

"Is there nothing to eat? What would you like to eat? I'll go to the state-run restaurant right now and buy it for you."

Zhang Limin looked at the three of them with shining eyes, while Wang Wende couldn't help but let out a long burp.

Um, can feeling unwell after eating too much be considered a work-related injury?

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhang, I really can't eat anymore."

Fortunately, Gu Zhiqing stopped him when he wanted to eat breakfast, otherwise he would have thrown up after eating two meals in a row.

I used to think that being hungry was unpleasant, but I never imagined that being overfed would be just as unpleasant.

Looking at Wang Wende, then at Gu An'an and Wang Xiaojuan, Zhang Limin finally gave up on letting the three of them continue.

However, the younger ones aren't up to the task, but the older ones are.

Without hesitation, Zhang Limin went to the state-run restaurant, bought some food, and then, following the same example, dragged Director Xiao to the entrance of the exhibition.

"Don't pull me, I still need to watch over my stall."

Xiao Heping refused to comply, and the two ended up in a stalemate in front of the stall.

"There are people guarding this place, it doesn't matter if you're missing. We've been friends for years, you won't even help with this little thing?"

Xiao Heping: ... If he doesn't help, will their friendship end here?

"No, I haven't received any orders for this fabric yet. I need to spend some time figuring out a solution, otherwise how am I going to explain this when I get back?"

Zhang Limin understood the other party's predicament. His eyes darted around a few times, then he put down his rice jar, picked up a few pieces of cloth from the stall and draped them over himself. Afraid they would slip down, he simply tied a thick strip of cloth around his waist.

"What are you standing there for? Take those two pieces of cloth and drape them over your shoulders, then tie them around your waist like I do. Then we'll go to the entrance for lunch. Won't that be advertising both companies' products?"

As he spoke, his teeth chattered uncontrollably. His grandmother was right; he had been clever since childhood, always able to apply what he learned to new situations, which enabled him to innovate upon Xiao Gu's good ideas.

Seeing that Xiao Heping was still in a daze, Zhang Limin simply draped the other two patterned cloths over him and had someone hand him another piece of coarse cloth. "Tie it yourself, hurry up, don't waste time."

Xiao Heping took the strip of cloth in a daze. After tying it around his waist, he realized something was wrong. His first reaction was to look at Gu An'an and ask, "Gu, is this really okay?"

Gu An'an carefully examined their attire, which did indeed resemble Tang Sanzang's. Under the other person's questioning gaze, Gu An'an nodded directly, "We can give it a try."

"Come with me."

Upon receiving Gu An'an's affirmative reply, Zhang Limin pulled Xiao Heping over, "Come on, let's go grab a spot first. Who knows if there are any other people as smart as me?"
