Chapter 9

Because "Premium Lamb Skewers" had halved their prices, some customers who were looking for a bargain shifted back to the lamb skewer stall opposite. In no time, the number of people queuing on both sides once again maintained a delicate balance. Seeing this situation, Cao Kang, who was sitting in the car by the roadside, finally showed less anger on his face, and Fang Jun's tense mood also relaxed. It was the first time he was helping Young Master Cao, and if he failed, he wouldn't be able to get close to him again.

However, the two of them didn't relax for long before they noticed that the number of customers at "Premium Lamb Skewers" was decreasing again. Although the lamb skewers here were cheaper, their taste couldn't compare to Ye Chui's. There were only a few people who were after the bargain, while most still wanted to eat Ye Chui's authentic lamb skewers. So, the number of people slowly changed again.

It had only been about ten minutes.

Cao Kang's face, sitting in the car, was already dark with anger. He glared fiercely at Fang Jun and gritted his teeth, continuing, "Keep reducing the price. I don't believe we can't draw the customers over!"

"Y-Yes, sir." Fang Jun felt that further price reductions might not be a good idea, but he couldn't refuse when Cao Kang said this, so he agreed and quickly took out his phone to make a call.

In just about ten minutes, the price of "Premium Lamb Skewers" was halved again. The two stall owners worked hard to call out.

"Our lamb skewers are only 50 cents each, the cheapest you can get. Don't miss out, everyone."

"Buy three, get one free, guaranteed to satisfy your appetite!"

After reducing the price of the lamb skewers by four times, this time it didn't attract customers as it did before.

"Just a moment ago, they were 2 yuan each, and now they're 50 cents each? The lamb must be bad."

"I always thought their lamb skewers tasted off. They must be using bad lamb!"

"Cheaper isn't always better. It's better to eat the authentic lamb skewers here. Don't eat theirs and risk getting sick."

Amidst such discussions, even the customers who had already bought from "Premium Lamb Skewers" didn't dare to eat anymore, throwing the leftover skewers directly into the trash. Those who were queuing up in front of "Premium Lamb Skewers" quickly dispersed. While there were people who were greedy for small bargains, the skewers here were too suspiciously cheap, and no one dared to buy them anymore.

Ye Chui, who was grilling lamb skewers with a sweat-soaked head, noticed this situation and smiled slightly, then continued to focus on grilling the skewers in his hands—right from the start, he hadn't taken the other side seriously.

Cao Kang, sitting in the car by the roadside, could no longer suppress his anger. Initially, he was just upset because Ye Chui had made him lose face in front of Lin Wei the day before, so he had casually planned to set a trap for Ye Chui. But he never expected his plan to be so easily defeated, which made him even angrier. He felt that Fang Jun, a renowned chef at Wanlai Fu, was utterly useless, unable to handle a small food stall!

His face was so dark it seemed about to freeze. He took out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and the other side quickly answered.

"Brother Hu," Cao Kang said coldly, "I need you to do me a favor..."

...

"Boss, give me five lamb skewers!" A clear and pleasant voice rang in Ye Chui's ears.

Ye Chui skillfully picked up five skewers from the grill in front of him and was about to hand them over when he suddenly paused, feeling the voice was familiar. After a moment's thought, he immediately recognized the owner of the voice and hurriedly looked up with a mix of eagerness and surprise. Sure enough, he saw Lin Wei, whom he had been thinking about, standing right in front of him.

Her lively big eyes looked at him with a mischievous glint, and a faint smile played on her lips.

"You... how did you come here?" Ye Chui, for a moment, seemed like a young man in his first love, stammering, "If you want to eat grilled lamb skewers, just let me know. Why do you have to queue?"

"With so many people queuing here, how can I come and ask you directly?" Lin Wei's eyes shifted from Ye Chui's face to the lamb skewers in his hands. Ye Chui clearly saw her swallow her saliva—what a little glutton. She looked back at Ye Chui and said with a playful tone, "Hehe, I've been thinking about this taste since yesterday."

"If you want to eat, just come. You don't need to queue." Ye Chui, who had recovered some of his composure, laughed and called out to the customers waiting behind, "A beauty like you, even if you want to cut the line, no one would mind, right?"

The world is never short of people who like to cheer on, especially in front of a beauty like Lin Wei. Hearing Ye Chui's question, the customers in the queue all laughed and shouted—

"That's right, we wouldn't mind at all!"

"If a beauty wants to cut the line, she can come in front of me. I'll give up my place."

"That's what you said. Quickly give up your place to me."

"Damn, fatty, get lost!"

"I think you should make a rule, boss. In the future, when beauties come to buy grilled lamb skewers, they shouldn't have to queue and should be completely free."

Hearing these words, Ye Chui laughed and said to Lin Wei, "See, I told you so?"

Lin Wei's face turned slightly red, and she smiled, taking the five lamb skewers and pulling out a ten-yuan note to give to Ye Chui.

But Ye Chui refused to take it, smiling, "Didn't you hear what they said? Beauties get free grilled lamb skewers. How can I take your money?"

The people in the queue immediately joined in, "That's right, beauty. Since the boss isn't taking your money, don't refuse."

"Hey, beauty, if you insist on paying, we'll take the money for the boss."

Lin Wei, who had never experienced such a scene, blushed even more. When she looked up at Ye Chui, she saw his eyes staring at her intensely, his gaze burning. She quickly avoided his gaze, feeling even more flustered. After hesitating for a moment, she put the money back and turned to leave.

Just at that moment, a group of people suddenly stormed over, colliding with Lin Wei. Lin Wei let out a light cry and fell backward. Fortunately, Ye Chui had sharp eyes and wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to save a beauty. He rushed over and caught Lin Wei in his arms just before she fell.

The leader of the group wasn't so lucky. The lamb skewers Lin Wei had been holding poked his clothes, and probably even his skin—Lin Wei had been nervous and was holding the skewers tightly.

In the car nearby, Cao Kang, who was waiting to see the show, was stunned, "Lin Wei... why is she here?"
