With money, Ali felt even more motivated and busied himself around the barbecue stall every day.
Sometimes the couple would even let Ahri go out shopping with them.
After Ah Li followed him a few times, the boss at the wholesale market also got to know Ah Li, and from then on, Ah Li went to buy goods by himself.
The boss also taught Ali how to ride an electric tricycle, making it convenient to bring back goods.
The proprietress also asked Ah Li, "What are your plans for the future?"
Ahri thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I haven't decided yet."
Originally, she just wanted to travel around and see the sights, but now that she's learning to barbecue, she feels her days are full.
The proprietress said, "Then you can work for me for now."
The landlady likes this girl; she's straightforward and speaks kindly.
Ahri smiled and said, "Okay, I like it when I can have barbecue every day."
The owners are both very nice, warm-hearted and kind, and they don't fuss over small things or act like bosses.
"Then you should eat more tonight, so that the guests don't think we've let you go hungry," the proprietress said with a smile.
Actually, what the proprietress didn't say was that because of Ahri, more boys came to the barbecue stall at night.
Because good-looking girls are always the center of attention wherever they go.
In addition, Ahri speaks gently and softly, and always manages to coax people to order more.
Some people will even order a little extra so that Ahri can come over and eat with them.
However, Ahri rarely goes there because she is not familiar with it.
In another city, Ye Xin handed the documents in her hand to Tang Zhou, and their fingers touched. She blushed and secretly looked at Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou didn't feel anything at all, because he hadn't seen Ali post anything on WeChat Moments recently, and he was a little worried about Ali.
With his current tasks nearing completion, Tang Zhou decided to take leave to go and check on things.
But he doesn't even know where she is now.
Tang Zhou flipped through the documents with some frustration, then, seeing Ye Xin still standing in front of him, asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ye Xin hurriedly put her hands behind her back and said, "It's okay."
"Oh." Tang Zhou didn't say anything, and took the documents to find another colleague.
Seeing Ye Xin's girlish infatuation, someone jokingly said, "You like Tang Zhou, huh?"
Ye Xin's face immediately turned red, and she pushed the person away, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I haven't even said anything yet, and your face is already red. There's definitely something going on here."
Hearing the man's teasing, Ye Xin covered her face and left.
Tang Zhou walked out from the other side, pushed up his glasses, glanced at the two people who had just been talking, and didn't react at all.
The person following behind Tang Zhou quickened his pace, walked to Tang Zhou's side, and asked, "Haven't you let go of that person yet?"
Tang Zhou smiled but didn't say anything. It wasn't that he hadn't let go; rather, he had never let go.
So many years of feelings, how can they just disappear like that?
If he didn't truly love her, he wouldn't have put up with all that trouble.
"Boss, another ten skewers of lamb, please!"
"Okay, coming right up!"
Ali sprinkled seasoning on ten skewers of mutton and served them to the guests.
However, as Ahri was preparing to go back to continue grilling meat, she noticed a lewd man reaching out to grope a group of female customers.
The female guests at that table immediately started shouting and slapped the man.
The guys at the table with the sleazy man rushed over and tried to hit him.
However, the guests at the other tables also stood up and shouted, "What are you doing! A bunch of grown men trying to bully a woman!"
There were also several tables of men who blocked the women's table from view. Looking at the group of sleazy men, they said, "We're all here to eat and chat, don't do anything tasteless."
Seeing that the people opposite them outnumbered them and that passersby were watching them, the group of sleazy men put down their chairs, dared not utter a sound, and sat back down.
Ali was also pulled back by the proprietress, who said, "Don't be afraid, this area is a tourist attraction, no one dares to cause trouble here."
Several regular customers were shouting, "Everyone, go back and sit down, eat and drink well. No one dares to cause trouble here!" After saying that, they glanced at the table with the sleazy man.
If the other party hadn't been sensible and sat back down, they would have taught them a lesson.
Ahri continued grilling the meat, and then the sleazy-looking men at the table shouted, "Check, please!"
The boss didn't let Ah Li go over; he, a grown man, went over with the bill.
In this popular area, some customers pay immediately after ordering the barbecue, while others wait until they finish eating before paying.
When Tang Zhou arrived in Suzhou, he never expected to run into Ali there.
Because now no matter who it is, they can't contact Ali. No one answers the phone, and no one replies to WeChat messages.
Before Tang Zhou even reached the place where he would finally meet Ah Li, he encountered a barbecue stall that almost caused a scene.
In the past, Tang Zhou would call the police immediately if he encountered such a situation, but seeing that it didn't escalate, he took his phone back.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Tang Zhou wanted to leave too, but then he heard someone call out, "Ali, come here for a second!"
"Okay, just wait a minute!"
Because he was a regular customer, Ahri responded.
The proprietress also said, "Go and handle things first, and call me if anything happens."
"Yes, I know," Ahri said as she walked over.
When the regular customers at the table saw Ahri coming over, they greeted her, "Come on, sit down and have something to eat."
There weren't many people at this time, because after what had just happened, some customers didn't eat too late and quickly paid their bills and left.
Ahri waved her hand and said, "No need, you guys can eat. I have something to do over there."
Just then, Tang Zhou walked up behind Ah Li and said, "I want to order."
Hearing the voice, Ahri turned around and replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Then I found out it was... him.
The two of them stood there, looking at each other, as if they only had eyes for one another.
Tang Zhou thought that his search would be as long and arduous as searching high and low without finding it.
However, at that very moment, this person appeared in the dimly lit place, like a bright star, illuminating his world.
Ahri quickly looked away, coughed lightly, and said, "Sit over there first, I'll go get you the menu."
Tang Zhou nodded somewhat absentmindedly and said, "Okay."
When the proprietress saw Ah Li approaching, she asked, "Are you an acquaintance?"
Ah Li didn't mince words and said quite readily, "Yes, it's someone I know."
The proprietress, with an air of experience, said thoughtfully, "It looks like you won't be staying much longer."
Ah Li looked up at Tang Zhou and found that he was still looking this way, so she took the menu and went over.
Here, this is the menu.
Ali handed the menu to Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou took it, but without ordering, he asked, "Have you been here all this time?"
