Chapter 535: Chapter 423: Is This a Damn Marathon? (2)

It’s a pity that I’m riding a road bike; if it were a regular bike, Ah Xia could sit on the back seat.

Ah Xia stood up in confusion and continued running, catching up and then turning her head to ask curiously, "President Yang, what’s going on? Wasn’t there supposed to be a team dinner? Why did it turn into a run?"

After all, Yang Jianming was dressed in very professional athletic wear, looking fully prepared.

Yang Jianming, with very stable breathing and no sign of panting, replied, "It’s a team dinner, and this is the food truck with some particularly delicious food discovered by Ah-Hao. But due to some special reasons, this food truck has to keep moving forward continuously. If you want to order food, you just have to keep chasing after it."

After listening, Ah Xia felt her mind buzzing.

What kind of nonsense is this!

How could there possibly be a food truck in this world that never stops?

Knowing what Ah Xia was like, if she had to keep running just to get a bite to eat, she’d rather choose not to eat!

"Alright, alright, this is so annoying! You guys run, I’ll just buy some desserts from the roadside and eat."

Yang Jianming ignored her.

Because Chen Mo was holding two bowls of noodles, "Your two bowls of noodles are ready."

Having eaten once before, Yang Jianming eagerly picked up the noodles and glanced at the roadside where there happened to be tables, chairs, and umbrellas for resting, and immediately ran over to devour the noodles.

Ah-Can also got his noodles, carried the bowl with one hand to the table, parked his bike, then trotted back to grab the freshly ordered milk tea and two pancakes.

Ah Xia, who had given up on snacks, watched them sitting by the roadside eating, and stood beside watching for a while, "So after all this, the team dinner is just noodles."

Yang Jianming smirked.

Thinking to himself, "You know nothing, these noodles are not ordinary. If someone with your appetite like Ah Xia has a bite, I’m afraid your tongue would swallow itself in greed."

Correct!

Thinking of this, Yang Jianming intentionally pushed the noodle bowl over, "How about this, Ah Xia? You look tired from all that running, how about you eat this bowl first? I’ll go and order another one."

"Huh?" Ah Xia couldn’t quite believe it, "Really?"

"Yes." Yang Jianming placed the chopsticks on the noodle bowl, "Hurry up and eat while it’s hot, these noodles are really something."

He said, without looking at Ah Xia’s expression, and began running again.

He didn’t believe that after eating this bowl of noodles, Ah Xia would be able to calmly continue not eating!

"Boss, another bowl of noodles."

Chen Mo watched Yang Jianming slowly jogging, feeling quite baffled.

"What are you guys doing, ordering a bowl one at a time?"

Yang Jianming coughed, "Nothing much, just having a team dinner..."

Team dinner?

You guys having a team dinner, at my place?

Well, that’s interesting.

Chen Mo continued pulling the noodles.

Behind him, Ah Xia excitedly blew a couple of kisses at Yang Jianming’s back, then suddenly froze when she turned around, "Ah-Can, how did you eat so fast!"

In just a blink of an eye, the noodles in Ah-Can’s bowl had disappeared!

Even the soup was gone, isn’t that ridiculous?

Ah-Can’s face was filled with dissatisfaction, "Ah Xia, the milk tea is yours!"

The noodle broth just now was already delicious enough, the milk tea was completely unnecessary.

"The pancakes are also yours!" Ah-Can tossed both pancakes to Ah Xia, "You eat first."

He immediately stood up, jumped sideways onto his bike, "Such delicious noodles and Brother Hao only mentioned them today, that’s just not cool!"

The deliciousness of the noodles totally exceeded Ah-Can’s expectations, no wonder just now President Yang not only ate enthusiastically but also slurped the entire noodle broth in one go.

Turns out it was genuinely delicious!

Ah-Can pedaled his bike quickly to catch up, "Noodles!"

This was all within Yang Jianming’s predictions, he turned and said, "Check in the group to see if other colleagues are arriving soon."

The department had a total of twelve people; besides Xu Zhenghao, who had been approved for a paid day off, theoretically there should be eleven people coming.

Only three were present now.

Ah-Can nodded, while riding, he took out his phone and sent a message in the group, "Is everyone almost here? It’s a mobile food truck, super awesome! The noodles are also super tasty!"

After sending the message, he casually sent a location sharing request. As one colleague after another joined in, the phone screen revealed clusters of small green dots gradually moving from different directions toward here.

At this moment, Ah-Can heard a voice crying out desperately.

"Wait for me!"

He and Yang Jianming turned to look, it was Ah Xia!

Originally, Ah Xia couldn’t quite understand Yang Jianming and Ah-Can’s actions, but once she genuinely started eating the noodles.

The wheat fragrance hiding the savory flavor, the meat scent including the seafood essence, that bowl of hot soup full of diverse flavors, and the incredibly aromatic tea eggs!

Every flavor and scent hit her soft spot just right, and Ah Xia even swallowed a big mouthful of noodles without chewing it much, and then gulped down the bowl of hot noodle broth.

Chewing on the leftover little pieces of pork in her mouth, letting the tender texture sweep her mouth, she crazily ran forward!

These noodles are so delicious; isn’t having two more bowls totally reasonable?

Little did she know, it was exactly the pressure from work getting heavier after starting work, the so-called obesity was not entirely due to diet, but more from work pressure.

When people are stressed, they like to eat something good to relax.

Gradually, the previous habit of savoring food was lost, and she gobbled up everything, often even having midnight snacks.

It’s absurd not to gain weight!

Although Ah Xia sometimes looked in the mirror and felt heartbroken, once she felt exhausted after working all day, she really wanted a cup of iced beer and some snacks!

Right now, Ah Xia couldn’t care less. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

That bowl of noodles just brought an unprecedented taste experience, and now she only had one thought.

Eat eat eat!

Ah Xia was running frantically, as colleagues sharing locations on the map were also arriving there in twos and threes.

Gradually, a strange scene appeared on the street.

Three food trucks moved slowly forward, while a dragon-like line followed beside the trucks running.

The colleagues who just arrived were shocked to see Ah Xia drenched in sweat, with her chest and back soaked.

"Ah Xia, what’s going on? Are you planning to lose weight?"

"Yeah, if you’re going to lose weight in your current condition, you shouldn’t do it too intensely; it could be harmful."

"Ah Xia, don’t be like this... Your determined gaze is somewhat frightening!"

Embarrassed by their questions, Ah Xia thought to herself, "What weight loss!? I’m just going to eat, besides, how can you have the energy to lose weight if you haven’t eaten enough?"

Now, the whole department had arrived, and Yang Jianming addressed Chen Mo in the food truck, "Boss, please continue. Make a few more, probably around eleven portions. Hmm, and make eleven pancakes too."

Chen Mo glanced at the plastic tub; there wasn’t much batter left inside.

"Uncle! Batter!"

"Coming!"

The pancake uncle was beyond happy today.

Though he only sold a few pancakes, seeing this situation, he figured he wouldn’t earn any less money.

And he hardly needed to do anything, just slowly pedal his tricycle.

Chen Mo continued pulling noodles, making pancakes in between boiling noodles, busy as ever.

This group quickly caught the attention of other pedestrians on the road.

"What’s going on? Is there a marathon today?"

"No way, even if there was, it wouldn’t be held at night!"

"What are these people doing? Why are they running after a food truck?"

"Let’s go, let’s catch up and see."

Ah, human curiosity...

When Yang Jianming left the head of the queue holding a bowl of noodles and a set of milk tea pancakes, Ah-Can immediately took his place on the bike, also receiving his pancake noodle set.

Then he too left the head of the queue.

This has to be said, Taiwan’s infrastructure in this regard is quite good, especially on streets with a strong nightlife atmosphere."
