"Is Meituan making another move?"
"It's not Meituan."
"Oh." Jack Ma breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it wasn't Meituan.
"This time it's Lashou.com. Lashou.com is poaching our customers on a large scale."
"What? That scoundrel Wu Bo is here again? Wasn't digging up his grave last time enough? Does he have no shame? What's his trick this time?"
"Um, I heard it's called the 'Good Friends Plan,' which is to have the merchants who were poached bring in other merchants they know to join Lashou.com, and they get 10,000 yuan for each one they bring in."
"I didn't expect that even though TX's new game didn't succeed, they still transferred money to Koubei.com. Wu Bo has become arrogant with money and can't even tell the difference between big and small kings anymore."
"Let's learn from Tencent and use a copy-and-paste method. Let our merchants go to Lashou.com to recruit, and we'll give them 20,000 yuan for each one they recruit! Tencent has money, but Alibaba doesn't?"
"Yes, Mr. Ma!"
The operations director of Koubei.com left with great ambition. Well, what can you do? Money talks, and that's how confident they are—more confident than someone who's used Pantene.
This marked the beginning of a talent war between Lashou.com and Koubei.com.
But once the curtain rose, these merchants weren't in a hurry to move, because they were still waiting—waiting for what? Waiting for Meituan!
It's often said that the three giants of group buying are Meituan, Lashou, and Koubei.
Now that Lashou and Koubei have made their moves, what about Meituan? Surely they can afford to back down?
At this moment, Lin Chen had absolutely no interest in the talent poaching battle between Lashou and Koubei.
Because Fatty and the others are back, and he's at the airport picking them up.
"Brother Chen, over here! I'm here!"
Lin Chen, who was looking around, heard the fat man's voice and turned around.
A white figure rushed into his arms; who else could it be but the young lady?
Lin Chen smiled and patted her head: "You must be tired from the plane ride."
"I'm not tired. I slept the whole way on the plane. I'm just a little hungry."
"Come on, let me take you to eat. What would you like to eat?"
"hot pot!"
"hot pot!"
"hot pot!"
The three answered in unison.
"Haha, let's go then."
Lin Chen drove the three of them to the Haidilao restaurant closest to the airport.
Although Haidilao is not expensive, I can't help it, I just love it.
"Hello sir, how many are in your party?"
"Four."
"Okay, please come in."
After the group sat down, they quickly ordered the hot pot base and other dishes.
"Wow, Lin Chen, I can smell the hot pot from the next table, my mouth is watering."
"Brother Chen, I don't know why the people on Mei Di's side eat so poorly and still get so fat. Look at me, I've lost so much weight in the past six months, and I have to buy clothes a size smaller."
"Haha, look at Fatty, I sent you to Meidi for your own good, right? How about you consider going again after the New Year?"
"No, no, no, please let me go, Brother Chen. If I go to Mei Di again, do you believe my mom will come after your mom and fight her to the death?"
Soon, the hot pot broth arrived, and the young lady and the fat man started showing it off wildly.
Lin Chen, however, saw Senior Sister Yan sitting next to him, eating in small bites.
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Senior Yan, we've met before, right? We're all on the same side, so there's no need to be so formal."
Senior Yan chuckled softly, "It's okay, I'm not very hungry, I'm probably just a little tired from the flight."
The fat man picked up a piece of pig brain and gave it to her.
"Here you go, your favorite pig brain. You mentioned it several times when you were with Meidi."
Unexpectedly, when Senior Sister Yan looked at the brain, she suddenly gagged, then waved her hand, picked up the water next to her and drank a few mouthfuls before feeling better.
Lin Chen's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and a crazy thought popped into his mind: No way, my blessed mouth really did bring back two or three people?
Lin Chen put down his chopsticks.
"Come on, Fatty, let's go to the bathroom."
"Brother Chen, why do you need someone to accompany you when you go to the bathroom?"
Despite saying that, the fat man immediately stood up and walked out with Lin Chen.
The two people went to the toilet to relieve themselves.
Lin Chen asked tentatively.
"Fatty, did you take precautions when you were with Meidi and Senior Yan?"
"Of course there are..."
At that moment, the fat man suddenly remembered what happened in the bathroom the night before last, on the balcony last week, and in the kitchen the week before that…
"...I think so."
Hearing the fat man's guilty answer, Lin Chen thought to himself, "Oh no, it's probably true."
After relieving himself of the water, Lin Chen patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"Let's skip the hotpot for a bit and take Senior Yan to the hospital first."
The fat man nodded.
"Hmm, she doesn't look well. She should see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to help her."
"Treating you my foot! I'm telling you to take Senior Yan to the OB-GYN to check if you're going to be a father."
"Huh?!" The fat man stood there dumbfounded, somewhat at a loss.
"Sigh~", Lin Chen sighed, "Fine, I'll take you there. After all, you're my best brother."
Lin Chen pulled the somewhat dazed fat man back to his seat.
"Miss, stop eating now, let's go to the hospital first."
"Huh? Why..."
Before she could finish speaking, the young lady saw the fat man's expression and, recalling Senior Yan's symptoms, suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
The young lady, being a medical student, quickly realized what was happening.
Lin Chen nodded, then called the waiter and paid the bill.
Then, Lin Chen took out his phone, opened Gaode Maps, and found a large public hospital nearby.
