Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Fair Competition Is Fine With Me, but This Guy Is Cheating—He’s Using Technology!

Lu Qin finished a serving of fried noodles and then drank a cup of chilled green bean soup, feeling completely comfortable.

As for the attention from a few female customers, the fruit they offered, Lu Qin didn’t touch a single bite, and kindly reminded them.

“Isn’t your team supposed to be lining up?”

“Ah!!!”

The girls turned around and realized that they had been away from the line for too long, and now they didn’t know where to get back in.

“This young man, I was in this line just now, can you make some room?”

“Nonsense, when did you line up here? I’ve always been behind the gentlemen, don’t try to cause trouble!”

“Handsome guy, can I cut in?”

“Heh, beautiful lady, can I cut in?”

“Why are you acting like a pervert? Freak!”

The girls couldn’t get in and were left to stand at the very end of the line, feeling helpless. Some people around them laughed in schadenfreude. This was what they deserved for trying to cut in.

Lu Qin continued to run his stall, and the next customer was a woman with a child. As they watched other customers buying and eating, the delicious aroma wafted over, and the child’s mouth watered. The mother quickly wiped his face, trying to keep up.

“Would you like some ice crystal cake? You can let your child have a taste first.”

“Yes, two boxes, please. Usually, this little one is picky and doesn’t like anything, but as soon as he sees your fried noodles stall, his mouth starts watering like a dam has broken!”

The woman quickly opened a box of the ice crystal cake and fed a piece to the child. The line was long, but it moved quickly.

One by one, customers left, satisfied with their food. But the line never seemed to shorten, and new customers kept pouring in. In fact, the number of people leaving didn’t even match the number of new customers.

At the popular section of the walking street, this had never happened before. It wasn’t even evening yet, and the scene was already crazy. At first, curious passersby who didn’t know what was being sold just followed the crowd. Now, they knew.

“I can’t believe it! This fried noodles stall is the one I saw on Douyin yesterday, I’ve been wanting to try it out, and I accidentally ended up in the line!”

“This is the fried noodles guy who made all the kids at the kindergarten drool? I finally see him in person!”

“The double-cooked pork is so fragrant, it’ll make you want to drool!”

…

Other stalls and food vendors saw a sudden drop in customers. The owners were getting restless. One of the beef pancake stalls, which had a decent reputation in the walking street, usually had customers lining up. Now, it had only four customers, and those four were rushing to Lu Qin’s fried noodles stall.

“The beef pancakes are in the oven, you guys can’t leave!” The owner said anxiously.

“We don’t want the pancakes anymore. If we don’t hurry, we might not get any fried noodles!”

“The pancakes are already in the oven!”

“We’ve already paid, boss! You’re buying us beef pancakes, right!”

The four customers left without looking back.

“Damn! Do you still need me to treat you to beef pancakes?”

Nearby, the owner of the shredded ice stall walked over.

“Damn it! Lao Meng, we’re both suffering! I’m just wondering how a fried noodles stall could steal my business, then I found out, guess what? He also sells chilled green bean soup, and the customers say it tastes better than milk tea!”

The beef pancake owner slammed the tongs down, feeling frustrated.

“This fried noodles stall came out of nowhere! What are we supposed to do now, drink air for business?”

“I don’t know, but the fried noodles stall owner has a lot of fans. I saw many customers driving here just to get his food!”

The other stall owners gathered around.

“Damn, what’s going on? That stall is stealing all our customers!”

“The line is ridiculous, and the ones at the back have to wait about an hour. Can people really stand this?”

“These people must be addicted!”

“That stall’s food has got to have something weird in it! Is he using something like science or tech?”

“Poppy powder! It’s gotta be!”

“He wouldn’t, right? There’s even a policeman in the line!”

“Damn! The cop hasn’t even taken off his uniform and he’s already in line, that’s crazy!”

“Let’s report this to management, this guy is disrupting our business!”

“Exactly! If this keeps up, our stores will close for good!”

The group of vendors cursed and marched to the management office, feeling like there was no law left!

When they arrived at the office, they immediately smelled a strong fragrance.

“This smells familiar!”

When they entered, they saw the leader inside enjoying fried noodles, chilled green bean soup, double-cooked pork, and crystal shrimp dumplings.

Seeing the crowd, the leader jumped in surprise, causing some noodles to fall from his nose. He didn’t mind, though, and sucked them back up.

“Old Li, Old Wang… what’s going on?”

“Xiao Gong, that new fried noodles stall...”

Before Old Li could finish, the leader Xiao Gong cut him off.

“Stop! I know what you’re going to say. It’s temporary, just a temporary arrangement. The spots in the busy zone are all fixed, but old Liu’s wife gave birth, so one spot opened up. The guy paid for it and is just setting up for a few days!”

“So what if he paid? He just wants to make some extra money. We’ll pay him to leave!”

“Exactly! Exactly! Since he showed up, our business is gone!”

“Well, his food is really delicious! And hey, the popularity of the busy area has increased because of him, so it benefits you guys as well!”

“You’re just mad because you can’t stand seeing others making money, huh?”

“That’s right! You should reflect on why your food doesn’t compare to his!”

“Exactly! If you can’t beat him, kick him out. That’s a loser’s move!”

“Fair competition is fine with me, but that guy… he’s using cheats! It’s technology!”

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence? Also, Old He, aren’t you from the bakery? Is the fried noodles stall really stealing your business?”

“Damn it! He’s also selling something called ice crystal cake. It’s so refreshing! Now, nobody’s buying my best-seller, green grape mousse!”

Xiao Gong’s eyes lit up.

“Ice crystal cake? I didn’t notice that when I was in line earlier. There were too many people. I just grabbed some random stuff. I’m so dumb! I should’ve tried it!”

“Xiao Gong, we’ve been friends for years! Just tell us, will you solve this for us and get him out?”

“...”

“Yeah, get him out!”

“Cough, cough, alright, alright, I’ll handle it. The fried noodles stall is crazy popular, I’ll deal with it later.”

“Why later? Time’s ticking, Xiao Gong!”

“I need to finish the remaining half portion of fried noodles and shrimp dumplings first. They’ll taste terrible if they get cold!”

“...”
