Chapter 243 - The Tragic Superstar (1/2)

Sun Qiluo asked about all the joints they had in their area, but they found no places with lava rock barbecue services.

“Hold up, why don’t we have anything in our turf?” He Xingzhou checked the map a few times.

He confirmed that there were no joints in their area.

“Then that means no joints there,” Shen Yitang answered.

“Then what should we eat for lunch?” He had a rocky start to the day, and now he was going to miss lunch. This was torture for him.

Shen Yitang looked at the map. “There’s a convenient shop there. You can get some instant ramen.”

He Xingzhou was flabbergasted.

Lu Jin shared the same sentiments.

“Hahahaha…,” Sun Qiluo guffawed. Compared to them, she felt that having no barbecue was nothing to cry over about.

They were right. Schadenfreude did feel great.

“Brother Shen, I have more than thirty million fans on Weibo!” He Xingzhou then pointed at Lu Jin. “He has more than fifty million.”

“So?” Shen Yitang asked.

“Nearly ten million people will know you only gave us instant ramen for lunch when this airs!” He Xingzhou threatened, “Aren’t you afraid they’re going to send you a mountain of threat messages?”

“They can do that. I can make those into merch, sell them, and make a profit,” Shen Yitang thanked him happily. “Thanks for the suggestion.”

He Xingzhou was at a loss for words.

Yun Xiangxiang and Sun Qiluo had a fit of laughter together. They couldn’t stop.

“Don’t get mad, Xingzhou. Little Shen’s a famous debater. Instead of bargaining with him, you should just start thinking about the ramen flavor you’re going for,” Hou Cang mocked.

“Hahahaha… There’s a convenience store…hahahaha. At least you still got food… hahahaha,” Sun Qiluo added insult to injury.

“I heard that the delicious food of the barbecue is grilled using stones from ancient volcanoes. Take your time and think about your ramen flavor. I’ll be enjoying myself here,” Yun Xiangxiang tempted them before skipping away.

“Can I call Shanshan over?” Yun Xiangxiang asked the program team.

“Go ahead,” the program team didn’t stop her.

Yun Xiangxiang sent the hotel’s name to Wei Shanshan before she went there to wait. The manager gave her the best private room they had.

They were going on TV after all. This would boost their lava stone barbecue’s fame.

The manager had prepared the freshest ingredients without even needing Yun Xiangxiang to ask them.

The cameramen stopped filming after they recorded the footage of how the lava rock barbecue looked like and the ingredients that were there.

Thanks to Yun Xiangxiang, they could also enjoy the BBQ here. The program team would sponsor them.

The crew following Lu Jin and He Xingzhou had the worst luck. They had to have ramen along with the duo.

“Hahahahaha…,” Wei Shanshan guffawed when she heard the story. “You should have told me sooner. I would have gone to see the best actors eating ramen at the sidewalk. You don’t see that every day.”

“That’s crossing the line. Just keep it within these walls. Don’t go to watch their misery,” Yun Xiangxiang advised.

Yun Xiangxiang might be kind, but Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo were not.

Their territory was right across the convenience store where Lu Jin and He Xingzhou were.

The duo couldn’t have the lava rock barbecue they wanted and were annoyed. It just so happened that a joint was right across the convenience store.

It sold one of Tengchong City’s specialties: claypot hot pot. Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo chose the hot pot on purpose and sat outside the restaurant for Lu Jin and He Xingzhou to see.

“Don’t be too smug, you guys,” He Xingzhou was irritated.

“We’re avenging our lost country,” Sun Qiluo sipped her juice happily.
