Chapter 187 - Malicious Competition (1/2)
“Forget it.” Lu Yuxi said proudly, “Anyway, with me around, you’ll never get first place.”
“Impossible! I’ll surpass you sooner or later!”
Li Shengsheng retorted in a rough voice. The sadness that had just risen in his heart instantly dissipated.
The two of them stared at each other and quickly started bickering.
Xu Le looked at the two of them solemnly. He felt that their ages had been reversed. He was about to send breakfast back to his parents and continue recording the tutorial when Li Qing called.
Xu Le had just taken out his phone when he saw Zhang Tong’s voice recording at the same time. He frowned. Could something have happened?
“Hey! Xu Le! Come over quickly to the entrance of a shop… Damn, these people are so despicable!”
As Li Qing shouted, he could still hear people arguing beside him.
“Got it.”
Xu Le hung up and called Zhang Tong back. His intuition told him that what happened at both areas should be the same.
“What’s going on?”
“There’s a new shop right across the road. They are selling exactly the same as our dishes. Guess who the chef is?”
“That robot?”
“That’s right!” Zhang Tong snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Not only are the dishes identical to ours, but even the price is lower by a few yuan. Now, there are customers who can’t stand it anymore and are arguing with them. Both sides are cursing.”
He explained the situation clearly and quickly. Xu Le said, “Deal with it first. Don’t fight. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
“MMhmm.”
Zhang Tong was used to many situations and was quite calm about this matter. He hung up and went out to mediate the quarrel.
On the other hand, Li Qing was helpless. He sent messages to Xu Le one after another for help.
Xu Le was about to tell the two of them about this when he turned around and saw Lu Yuxi squatting on the ground as if she had made a deal with the little kid in front of her. She took the other party’s skateboard and said with a smile, “I’ll show you one move.”
She was wearing a long dress that reached her ankles. As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and jumped onto the skateboard. In a perfect exchange, she jumped over the curb and raised her hand provocatively at Li Shengsheng.
When she saw Xu Le, her gaze softened.
She whistled.
The sunlight that had just peeked out from behind the clouds dyed every strand of her hair. It was gorgeous and stunning. Xu Le was stunned for a moment and said, “The punishment for riding the skateboard on the road is 50 yuan. Come over quickly. Beware of the traffic police.”
Lu Yuxi’s face froze, then she chuckled. She returned the skateboard to the child and took out a snack from her bag. “Thank you.”
“Sister is awesome!”
The child was wearing a helmet and looked at Lu Yuxi with admiration. She seemed to be anxious to find a topic to talk about and immediately opened the snack packaging and stuffed it into his mouth. She said, “This is also delicious!”
“This fried chop rice cake was made by that brother. It’s delicious, right?”
Lu Yuxi raised her eyebrows proudly. When Xu Le heard this, his gaze focused on the transparent bag. After the child left, he muttered, “How long ago was that? Was it last month or last month? Didn’t it already turn mouldy?”
“It’s stored in vacuum pack, how can it turn mouldy?”
As Lu Yuxi spoke, she took out two more from her pocket and gave them to them. “If you don’t believe me, try them. You made enough that time. If one ate much of the fried chop rice cake, one will be bloated, so I put the remaining in vacuum packaging in the fridge.”
