Chapter 830 - Lets Switch To Something Simple (1/2)

Bai Guo expressed that he needed a break.

“Si Si, I love you!”

After Jiang Meisi, Bai Guo and Li He stood there blankly for a bit, there were finally people coming over to ask for their autographs. They were the customers that had already finished lunch at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

There were two of them, both males. It was quite a surprise that Happy and Brain were actually people that idolize celebrities.

“Can I get an autograph?” Qin Xiaoyi asked. Behind him, Gao Fan nodded.

“Where do you want me to sign?”

Since the two did not have a pen on them, Jiang Meisi used the filming crew’s watercolor pen and signed on their shirts as per their request.

After they got the autograph, Qin Xiaoyi was about to leave when Gao Fan suddenly said, “Si Si, if you guys are trying to attract a crowd here to complete your mission like how you guys have done, it won’t work here. There is a Queuing Committee keeping things in order here.”

Gao Fan’s words attracted the attention of Bai Guo and Li He. What on earth was the Queuing Committee?

“With the huge crowd there, things will get messy without any organization. There might even be a stampede happening. For the safety of the customers, the Queuing Committee has a set of rules set up here. Therefore, no matter what you do, you won’t be able to attract the crowd away from the queue,” Gao Fan explained.

Jiang Meisi, Li He and Bai Guo felt greatly enlightened.

“Is there any way we can get lunch here? For example, swapping positions with someone by offering them some compensation or something like that?” Li He asked. He was very concerned about the state of his mission.

“Nope,” Gao Fan spoke bluntly, “To eat at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, not only do you need to queue up. You also need to get a number. Moreover, the seat you get from queuing must be used by yourself. This is to prevent some customers from hiring people to queue up for them.”

Getting a number before getting in line, people wishing they could hire someone to queue up for them? Was this still a restaurant? Not even a bank was so complicated. Li He kept reminding himself that he was being filmed and he needed to maintain his calm and smile.

“Will it be possible for us to wait until lunchtime is over before requesting Boss Yuan to prepare a meal for us?” Bai Guo suddenly thought of an idea.

“Huh? That’s a good idea. The mission description only needs us to get lunch at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. It was never mentioned that we have to get the lunch within lunchtime,” Li He clapped, agreeing that this was a great idea.

Jiang Meisi also praised him, “Good one, Bai Guo. Since we can’t get a seat during lunchtime, we shall wait until lunchtime is over.”

Bai Guo was never one to reject praises. He stood there with a smug look.

When Gao Fan saw how happy the three seemed, he felt awkward to tell them the truth. Normally, Qin Xiaoyi would be the one giving harsh truths.

He said, “Based on what I know, on non-business hours, Boss Yuan has never cooked anything for any customers.”

Qin Xiaoyi could see that Li He was about to say something so he added, “No exceptions have ever been made regardless of the offers Boss Yuan has received.”

Gao Fan added with an expression of someone having a strong feeling over this, “That’s right. Boss Yuan’s nickname is Compass. He does everything in a stiff and rigid fashion, like an unchanging compass that will forever be pointed in one direction.

The words of Qin Xiaoyi and Gao Fan were like ice spikes that deeply pierced into their hearts. A moment ago, they were all cheerful and optimistic but now, the three of them sank into silence.

It was only now that Bai Guo realized that the lofty and cold people were not the customers, but it was the boss instead.

“Isn’t that too excessive? For a meal, people need to take a number and get in line, and the line still needs to be neat and all,” Bai Guo couldn’t help but blurt this out.

“But the food here is excellent,” Qin Xiaoyi said.

Jiang Meisi said, “Even if the food is nice, he can’t do this, right? Does he not know that customers are always right?”
