"Boss Shi is here!"
"Great, my lunchbox, it was worth the wait."
“I bought this for my boyfriend. He loves this meal. He was worried he wouldn’t get any to eat while he was working overtime tonight, so he asked me to buy it for him.”
"My girlfriend insisted on eating this meal and made me queue up for her, saying there were a lot of people and we wouldn't be able to buy it if we were late. But now it seems there aren't that many people."
"It's not time to leave work yet, check again later."
After the person next to me finished speaking, I quickly went to line up. It was almost 6 o'clock, and once working people finished their shifts, things would get really chaotic.
He estimated the queue would be incredibly long; he'd seen this kind of thing before, even at lunchtime.
"Boss Shi, I'd like an order of braised prawns, an order of braised pork ribs, and an order of scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
"Brother, what if you run out of that many?"
"But I need to take some back for my family to eat. If I don't buy more, it won't be enough. Besides, the shopkeeper didn't say there was a purchase limit."
"Okay, okay, then I'll have two portions, one of stir-fried carrots and pork, and one of eggplant with minced pork."
"Why do you all want so many? I want some too."
Upon hearing these words, Shi Yi secretly added 30 more portions to the car.
Why does it seem like they sell more at night?
Almost everyone wanted three or four servings.
Adding 30 more servings to the original 125 still doesn't seem enough.
At six o'clock sharp, another group of people rushed over.
"What's going on? Didn't we just get off work? Why are there so many people?"
"That's right. I came down after six o'clock, and I didn't expect the line to be so long."
"With so many people, will I even have dinner?"
"Sister, you hold this for me, I'll go ask the boss how many boxed meals are available tonight."
"......"
At this moment, Shi Fan, who had just come out of the building, was dumbfounded when he saw the line. He had only gone to the restroom, so why was the line so long that it reached the bottom of his office building?
"Are you all allowed to leave early?"
He was puzzled; what kind of boss is so humane?
"You're overthinking it. There are already a lot of people here before six o'clock," the person in line replied to his question.
"I don't know if I'll even be able to eat it again."
Upon hearing this, Shi Fan immediately joined the team.
Just then, the girl who had gone to inquire about the situation returned.
"Boss Shi said there should still be more than a hundred left, and I think we should be able to buy them."
"That's good, that's good."
The group breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you also loyal fans of Boss Shi? Or are you just here to check in?" the girl asked the group in front of and behind her.
“I’m a big fan; I was eating there the first day she came.”
"I've never tried it, but I've heard it's delicious, so I wanted to give it a try."
"I... I want to see what Shi Yi looks like up close," one of the girls said timidly.
The group: "..."
Shi Fan looked displeased: "You're not a hater, are you? Boss Shi said she changed careers, so she's not in that circle anymore. There's no need to badmouth her, is there?"
The girl hurriedly explained, "No, I'm not a hater, I'm a fan of his looks, a fan of his looks!"
Shi Fan gave her a suspicious look but said nothing.
Ideally, he didn't want anyone to bother Boss Shi. What if Boss Shi got angry and stopped selling boxed lunches? Where would he eat then?
Besides, Mr. Shi is such a good person, and those people who don't know him at all are just trying to smear him. That's going too far.
The people in front and behind shared the same idea.
"You have to believe me, really!" the girl assured her repeatedly. She even opened her social media account, "Look, I really haven't said anything bad about her, I haven't said anything bad about anyone."
