Chen Ru wanted Wen Ying to close the stall and go out of business, but Wen Ying refused.
Back in Chengdu, the crayfish night snack stall reopened. After not seeing Wen Ying and the others setting up the stall for a few days, some old customers actually missed them:
"You finally opened the door!"
"I thought you students would stop doing this business after the novelty wore off in a few days."
"That is, if you don't open, where can we go to eat braised shrimp?"
The only people who came to set up the stall today were Wen Ying, Xie Qian, Qin Jiao, and Wang Shuang. Li Mengjiao passed the audition and has received the notice of the next recording time. Although Li Mengjiao said that her opponents were of average strength, Wen Ying saw through Li's nature as a talkative king and strongly asked Li Mengjiao to prepare for the qualifying match at home in the next few days. This decision was unanimously recognized by her friends, and even Xie Qian agreed.
Xie Qian's logic was very straightforward: if Li Mengjiao was eliminated in the first qualifying round, Wen Cangshu would definitely be disappointed and would no longer be interested in going to the TV station to watch the live recording. Then he would have to look for new excitement again. After all, Wen Cangshu could barely get 120 points in mathematics, and there was still a lot of room for improvement in physics and chemistry!
It’s not that it’s hard to find new excitement, but it’s too troublesome, and Xie Qian is most afraid of trouble.
Wen Ying didn't know that the top student was worried about her. She had just finished feeding a group of diners when the owner of the barbecue restaurant, Da Liu, came over:
"I just saw the food festival commercial on TV. Didn't you notice a lot more customers on the street tonight? Director Lu said the city TV station will be filming a promotional video tomorrow, and your stall will definitely get the most shots."
Da Liu's tone was full of envy.
Wen Ying thought, it's not just about having the most shots. Although Liu Da is a shrewd late-night snack shop owner, he doesn't understand how much power a top-ranked high school in Chengdu has.
Because of the school, the city TV station's promotional video will put Wen Ying and others' "entrepreneurship" in the most important position. Wen Ying and Li Mengjiao have not yet enrolled, Wang Shuang is a poor student with a bad reputation, and Xie Qian is not a provincial key student at all. Only Qin Jiao has good grades and good looks, and is the most suitable person to be on camera. Although Wen Ying did not set up a stall these two days, she was still discussing this matter with Qin Jiao, and Qin Jiao agreed generously.
There's no need to mention this specifically in front of Liu Cixin; it would sound like bragging.
Da Liu discovered that Wen Ying looked harmless but was very tight-lipped and difficult to talk to, so he just stood beside Wen Ying's stall and laughed dryly.
Wen Ying was so annoyed by his laughter that she had no choice but to reveal some inside information to Liu Da:
"Brother Liu, you're a very righteous person. Your barbecue restaurant is featured in the promotional video, so you don't have to worry."
Big Liu was so happy that he ordered that each table of guests at Wen Ying's table be given a grilled fish. Since the other party was so generous, Wen Ying had no choice but to give crayfish in return.
The whole street knows that Da Liu and Wen Ying have a good relationship. Other bosses didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now that the food festival is going to be held, other bosses are starting to get jealous.
Director Lu particularly favors these students who set up stalls, and Da Liu shamelessly made connections with them. After this food festival, Da Liu’s barbecue restaurant will definitely become more famous!
In Da Liu's barbecue restaurant, there was a table of rather special guests: a young man with a young girl. The watch on the young man's hand was quite valuable, and the girl was also wearing a high-end dress.
The tables in the barbecue restaurant had been used for a long time, and no matter how hard you wiped them, you couldn't wipe off the grease in the gaps between the tables. In order to cooperate with the street office's sanitation work, Da Liu cleaned up all the chairs and benches, making the place look much cleaner.
Even so, the guests at this table still disliked the sanitary conditions here.
The two guests didn't even touch the dozens of barbecue skewers on the grill.
Not to mention eating the skewers, the little girl even had to wipe the chairs in Da Liu's house again and again and put a handkerchief under them before she was willing to sit down.
At this moment, the little girl's eyes were fixed on the other side of the street.
A makeshift night snack stall.
Fancy banners.
Cheap plastic tables and chairs.
And Xie Qian, who calmly served plates and poured water for the guests.
Even though Xie Qian looked very handsome when he was serving dishes and pouring water, the little girl was still very angry:
"How could they ask Xie Qian to do such a thing?"
Those people didn't consider Xie Qian as a friend at all, right?
If they were Xie Qian's friends, they would not be willing to humiliate Xie Qian. Pulling a noble swan into the chicken coop is what those people did!
The little girl was almost crying with anger, as if her beloved toy, which she had been longing for but could not get, was accidentally found by a few country bumpkins who had no idea of its value and casually tossed it into a mud pit... It was really too much, too much. The little girl really couldn't stand it anymore and turned to seek help from the young man: "Brother, you have to help me, no, you have to help Xie Qian. You can't let Xie Qian continue to be deceived by those country bumpkins!"
Zhao Dong was helpless.
"Xixi, you're already this old, but you still speak without restraint! They're not just country bumpkins. The girl is Qin Jiao, the daughter of Qin Xianming, and the boy is Wang Shuang, the only son of Wang Jun. Qin Xianming and Wang Jun don't come from the same social circles as our family, but they're also considered wealthy in Chengdu. Their children can't be called country bumpkins at all."
Zhao Qian's eyes fell on Wen Ying who was busy braising shrimp.
"What about her? Whose daughter is she?"
Zhao Dong was also looking at Wen Ying.
Compared with Qin Jiao and Wang Shuang, Wen Ying is really a country bumpkin.
But this girl from an ordinary family in a small place actually became friends with Xie Qian, and used herself as a bond to help Xie Qian become friends with Qin Jiao, Wang Shuang and others.
Across the street, in the small circle of the night snack stall, the central figure is neither Xie Qian, nor Qin Jiao and Wang Shuang, but Wen Ying, who comes from the most ordinary family and looks the most inconspicuous.
Such ability left Zhao Dong puzzled.
"Xixi, she's not just anyone's daughter. She's just herself. You value those who are just as competitive as you, but often overlook those whose conditions are far inferior to yours. If you think they're unworthy of being your rivals, you're completely wrong, because you're most likely to stumble against people like them."
Zhao Qian disagreed with Zhao Dong's words, so Zhao Dong had to give a strong dose of medicine: "If I ask you to take Xie Qian to set up a stall, will Xie Qian agree?"
Zhao Qian was ashamed and angry.
Why would she ask Xie Qian to set up a street stall?
She and Xie Qian had so many places to go.
During winter vacation this year, she had tried to please Xie Qian by inviting him to the provincial library, but Xie Qian didn't go... Zhao Qian looked at her brother Zhao Dong with accusatory eyes, but Zhao Dong remained unmoved: "Look, someone else has done what you couldn't do. Do you think Xie Qian would listen to a country bumpkin?"
Of course not.
Although Xie Qian is very polite to others, he is actually cold at heart. Zhao Qian has run into obstacles many times during the winter vacation.
Zhao Dong took advantage of the victory and encouraged Zhao Qian: "If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first understand your opponent. Go ahead and make friends with that girl named Wen Ying. Once you integrate into their small circle, Xie Qian will no longer ignore you."
