Chapter 201: Chapter 201

Thanks to "āáǎà" brothers for your support, thank you for your support!

"No need, just follow me," said Li Changlin with a nonchalant smile. Although he hadn’t dined at this little shop very often, he was very clear about the ins and outs.

Moreover, Li Changlin had a secret weapon!

So, Li Changlin wasn’t worried about the queue.

He signaled Brother Grape and Zhou Xingxing with a glance and then swaggered towards the entrance of the shop with the two of them in tow.

"Hey, what do you think you’re doing, go to the back of the line to queue."

"Damn it, are you trying to cut in line? I’ve been waiting for half an hour, hurry up and get to the back."

"You fool, you must be here for the first time. Even if you walk in, you’ll still be kicked out by the boss in the end."

Seeing Li Changlin and the other two stride directly into the shop, many people’s faces showed a playful smile.

There had been others like Li Changlin who had tried to cut in line before, but not only did the boss refuse to do business with them, but he also put those folks on a blacklist.

Within a month, those people were denied service whenever they tried to patronize the shop.

People always say big shops bully customers; though this shop’s facade wasn’t big, the boss was very assertive.

So everyone had no choice but to line up obediently according to the shop’s rules.

"Changlin, something seems a bit off," said Brother Grape, just as they had entered the shop while the murmurs from behind were crystal clear to him, which caused his expression to change. If they were really turned away, they would lose all face.

"Don’t worry, Brother Grape, I’ve got it handled," Li Changlin chuckled with a cunning smile, ushering Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine and Zhou Xingxing towards the fifth table in the shop with quick steps.

That’s right, the shop had a total of five tables.

However, the fifth table wasn’t a dining table.

By now, Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine and Zhou Xingxing had seen that at that table, a little boy was diligently doing his homework.

"Qian Bao, give me three set meals," Li Changlin walked up to the little boy and quickly pulled out a red banknote from his pocket, placing it gently in front of the boy.

This little boy looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old; his name was Qian Bao, the younger brother of the shop owner, Qian Ziwei.

When Li Changlin first came here to dine, he was totally clueless about the rules. He barged in without queuing, but luckily at the time, the owner Qian Ziwei was busy in the kitchen and didn’t notice him.

The little rascal, Qian Bao, on the other hand, recognized Li Changlin. Although he was only twelve, he was already a bit of an internet savvy kid.

Moreover, Qian Bao could be considered one of Li Changlin’s staunch supporters, although Qian Bao didn’t have much money.

Of course, the main reason was that his sister, Qian Ziwei, didn’t give Qian Bao much pocket money.

It wasn’t that Qian Ziwei was stingy but rather that she was very strict with her younger brother.

Qian Ziwei’s parents had long since passed away, and now he and his younger brother could be said to be completely dependent on each other.

To prevent his brother from learning bad habits, Qian Ziwei was naturally very strict with his financial control over Qian Bao.

So even though Qian Bao was a staunch supporter of Li Changlin, he was still a newbie when it came to spending money. Usually, he would just cheer for Li Changlin during live streams or curse at those players who badmouthed him.

At this moment. Hearing Li Changlin’s voice, Qian Bao had already looked up.

Seeing the 100 yuan Li Changlin handed over, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Changlin, I can’t take this money; please put it away quickly!"

"Then hurry up and order for me," Li Changlin said with a slight smile, not standing on ceremony with Qian Bao as he shoved the 100 yuan back into his pocket. Then he added, "If you do a good job, I’ll introduce you to Brother Grape."

"Ah, Brother Grape, is Brother Grape really in Jincheng today?" Qian Bao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately looked towards Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine and Zhou Xingxing. Then he quickly rushed to Zhou Xingxing and shouted, "I knew it, you must be Brother Grape! Brother Grape, you’re my idol!"

"Cough cough cough..." Zhou Xingxing coughed dryly, quickly waved his hand, and said, "I’m not your Brother Grape; you’ve got the wrong person, Boy."

Upon hearing this, Qian Bao’s face instantly fell.

Then, he turned to look at Li Changlin in confusion.

"What a donkey kid." Li Changlin couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, and helplessly, he pointed towards Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine, "Look carefully. That is Brother Grape. From now on, you must never recognize people randomly."

"You, you’re Brother Grape?" Qian Bao looked depressedly at Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine, "Aren’t you a bit too old?"

"Ha ha ha..." Li Changlin and Zhou Xingxing couldn’t help but chuckle.

As for Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine, he didn’t laugh. However, his face twitched repeatedly.

Really frustrating, Boy, that comment is such a blow!

Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine was rather amused and embarrassed, but eventually, he nodded and said, "I am Xiaobudian Under the Grapevine."

"Alright, I’ll make do, then. You’re a bit different from what I imagined," Qian Bao said like a little adult, hands clasped behind his back. Humming and hawing, he said, "That’s fine. You three sit at my table, Brother Changlin, order whatever you want to eat, I’m off to play."

Saying this, Qian Bao began to tidy up his textbooks on the table; he quickly finished and, picking up his school bag, hopped and skipped out the door.

"This kid seems to be missing a few screws," Brother Grape said, rubbing his head and smiling wryly as he watched Qian Bao’s retreating figure.

"Kids are like that, Brother Grape, you mustn’t take it to heart. Speaking of which, Little Dot is also one of my staunch supporters and often watches my live streams," Li Changlin quickly explained. After all, wasn’t he able to sit at this spot because he owed Qian Bao a favor? He couldn’t let Brother Grape have a bad impression of the kid.

"I can’t believe that even twelve or thirteen-year-olds are watching live streams now," Zhou Xingxing suddenly said with a nostalgic chuckle.

"Oh, does Brother Zhou also like to watch live streams?" Li Changlin looked up in surprise at Zhou Xingxing.

Zhou Xingxing smiled mysteriously, "It’s been many years since I’ve dabbled in this; I can’t keep up with the times anymore."

Look at him acting all cool as if he was something special!

"Brother Zhou, look at you," Li Changlin also didn’t take Zhou Xingxing’s words seriously; at that moment, he had already picked up the menu on the table, "Brother Grape, Brother Zhou, what would you like to eat? Take a look at the introduction on this menu first."
