Chapter 11
What??? Where Is Everyone?
Actually, he didn't understand either. It was just a normal piece of braised meat; why were so many people fighting over it? These ordinary people really had short-sighted vision.
The suit on Assistant Te was meticulously tailored and extremely expensive, further highlighting his elite aura. Standing among the crowd of ordinary-looking people, he stood out like a crane among chickens, drawing a lot of attention.
Passersby couldn't help but cast their eyes on him.
Assistant Te frowned with a hint of disgust. He pulled out his phone to handle some documents while waiting in line.
Before queuing, he didn't feel much because Xiangchen sold the braised meat very quickly; people just lined up, took their food, and left. But once he stood in line, he felt the difference—time seemed to stretch on endlessly. The crowd in front of him didn't seem to decrease at all, and after half a day, he was still stuck in the same spot.
After standing for just a short while, Assistant Te was so hot that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. With difficulty, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over his arm; his white shirt was already soaked with sweat.
As he wiped his sweat, he craned his neck to look forward, only hoping to move a bit faster. After an unknown amount of time, the crowd in front finally thinned out. A look of joy immediately appeared on Assistant Te's face—it was finally almost his turn.
He had already thought through how to strike first, making sure she realized her mistake and regretted her decision.
However, when he finally reached Xiangchen's braised meat stall, there was not a single soul left.
Assistant Te: What??? Where is everyone?
He stood there dazed, hurriedly grabbing a passerby to ask, "Where did the lady who was selling braised meat here just go?"
The passerby glanced at him in confusion. "She sold out, so she went home, of course!"
Assistant Te: Huh!!!
After returning, Assistant Te didn't dare report to Ouyang Jingting that he hadn't even had a chance to say a single word to Xiangchen today. The next day, he timed it carefully, planning to go earlier to lie in wait. However, Ouyang Jingting suddenly had an overseas meeting, so he didn't get off work until eleven o'clock at night.
