Chapter 363 How to Pass the Time
Seeing the menacing expressions on their faces, Zhang Yan immediately backed down: "Let's talk this out, no fighting allowed!"
Meng Qingyin gritted her teeth: "You'd better not be so narcissistic all the time, or I really won't be able to hold back."
Zhang Yan repeatedly assured Meng Qingyin that it wouldn't happen again, and only then did Meng Qingyin loosen her clenched fist.
She asked Zhao Lan, "What did you see in the crystal ball just now?"
Zhao Lan still feels lingering fear whenever she thinks of that scene, especially the man in it.
She paused for a moment and said, “In the very center was a very handsome man with a great physique, a businessman named Lear, a black dog, and me, Zhang Yan, a blond foreign man, another very handsome man, and… a curly-haired girl. Those two handsome men looked almost identical. The five of us were like soulless puppets.”
Zhao Lan's description was very detailed and specific, much better than Zhang Yan's.
At least, each person's features are fairly distinct.
After Zhao Lan finished speaking, Zhang Yan echoed her, "That's right, that's right, that's what I saw too! I even tried to find that guy who's kind of handsome, but unfortunately I couldn't find him."
Zhao Lan corrected him, saying, "He's exceptionally handsome."
Her description must be accurate, otherwise it will affect the judgment.
Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Fine, fine."
“Okay, then our search direction is clear: a blond foreign man, a particularly handsome man, and a curly-haired girl. Are there any other characteristics?” Meng Qingyin asked.
The more features they have, the faster they can pinpoint the person they're looking for.
Zhao Lan shook her head. "No, that's all."
Meng Qingyin stood up: "Okay, then you should also keep an eye on things."
“Okay,” Zhao Lan nodded, then asked with some concern, “By the way, Zhang Yan, how is your brain condition?”
Zhang Yan was taken aback, then immediately winked at her.
Meng Qingyin asked, puzzled, "What kind of brain disease?"
Zhao Lan: "Zhang Yan has a brain disorder, didn't you know? And..."
Her gaze swept over the two of them. "I didn't see you on the screen. Why are you so concerned about this? Could it be... that you've won Zhang Yan over? Is that why you're so interested in his affairs?"
Meng Qingyin became increasingly confused. "What are you talking about? When did I ever pursue Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Yan blinked frantically at Zhao Lan, his eyes almost twitching, signaling her to stop talking.
If he continues, his life will be in danger.
But Zhao Lan didn't receive his signal. "Zhang Yan said that you've been pestering him relentlessly."
Zhang Yan felt like the sky had fallen.
Meng Qingyin turned to look at Zhang Yan and smiled: "Oh? Is this what you've been spreading rumors about me outside?"
Zhang Yan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, it wasn't me, I didn't! She's lying!"
Meng Qingyin gave a cold laugh and quickly left.
Zhang Yan quickly followed her away.
Back on the train, Zhang Yan carefully explained, "That was just a temporary measure to get Zhao Lan to take me in. I know you don't have those kinds of feelings for me, and I promise I won't say anything like that again."
Meng Qingyin waved her hand: "Forget it, let's put this behind us. By the way, do you have any friends with Li Er?"
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "No, I originally wanted to add her as a friend, but when you told me she was a ruthless businesswoman, I gave up the idea."
Meng Qingyin: "She's a businesswoman, so she should be able to move freely between different districts, and her progress might be faster than ours. I'll give you her business card; add her on WeChat. Find a way to let her know that the seed collector is yours."
Zhang Yan was taken aback: "But didn't you say that Lear mistook you for me because of the Seed Collector? If I tell her about the Seed Collector, won't she know you're lying to her? Then... won't she try to harm you?"
Meng Qingyin: "Probably not. Her goal is to find the five of you. To her, I'm just an insignificant person. She won't do anything to me. At most, she'll just blacklist me."
Zhang Yan: "What if I add her?"
Meng Qingyin: "We need to get information about the other three people out of her. We need to find the people in the picture before she does."
Zhang Yan asked, puzzled, "Why do we need to find it before Lear? Since we have the same goal, why not cooperate?"
Meng Qingyin explained, "According to your and Zhao Lan's descriptions, Lear knelt at that man's feet, and the five of you were created by that man. Which side do you think Lear would stand on?"
Zhang Yan understood. "Okay, I'll add her now."
After a while, he said helplessly, "It's so strange, she just won't accept the request."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
There's nothing strange about it; it's her doing.
Meng Qingyin sighed, "This is my fault."
Zhang Yan shrugged: "So what do we do now? She still won't add me back."
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment, "How about this, I'll invite Qin Feng tomorrow, and I'll also invite Li Er. You can come too, and take the opportunity to tell her about the seed collector."
Zhang Yan: "That's all we can do."
...
After finally confessing the matter to Zhang Yan, Meng Qingyin felt a great sense of relief.
She messaged Lear: "I'm treating everyone tomorrow, lots of people are coming, do you want to come?"
Merchant Lear: "No, I'm not interested."
Mengmeng: "Come on, come on! All my friends are here, how could you be missing?"
Merchant Lear: "Alright, when?"
Mengmeng: "Just come over at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Merchant Lear: "Alright."
We can only let Zhang Yan find an opportunity later.
Meng Qingyin began to review the ingredient list sent to her by the chefs, preparing to prepare the ingredients according to the list.
However, the ingredient list only has 12 items, one is missing. There should be 13 sets, not 13.
Meng Qingyin asked in the group chat, "Which group hasn't sent me their ingredient list yet?"
Chen Tianqi: "Huh? @How to kill time? Didn't you submit our group's list?"
How to kill time when bored: "I forgot. @Mengmeng, the ingredients I need are very simple, just curry and beef."
Chen Tianqi: "No, I still have a lot of ingredients I need. Didn't I send you the list and ask you to forward it to Mengmeng? @How to kill time when bored."
How to kill time when bored: "@Chen Tianqi, post it yourself."
Chen Tianqi: "I'm really fed up. What's wrong with you forwarding this for me? We're in the same group. How are we supposed to cook together tomorrow if you keep acting like this?"
The 26 chefs formed teams freely based on their respective areas of expertise in cuisine.
Chen Tianqi is good at Western food, and so is "How to kill time"—the two of them formed a team.
Who knew the other party would be so difficult? All I asked was for him to forward the ingredient list to Mengmeng, something as simple as moving his fingers, and he refused?
How can we work together tomorrow if that's the case?
Chen Tianqi wanted to unleash a torrent of curses.
How to kill time when you're bored: "Just do your own thing."
Chen Tianqi was dumbfounded. Was this person not going to be in his group anymore?
No, if we split into groups, and something goes wrong tomorrow, Mengmeng will definitely suspect him.
Having someone to cover for him makes it easier for him to act, and if something goes wrong, he can blame it on "how to kill time".
Chen Tianqi smiled apologetically in the group: "@How to kill time, don't say hurtful things. We are a team, so we should cooperate. I was a little too hasty just now, and I apologize to you."
There was no further reply to "How to kill time".
Although Chen Tianqi felt he had lost face, he still had to swallow this bitter pill.
Seeing this little incident only strengthened Meng Qingyin's resolve to have someone keep an eye on them.
