The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: I’ve Seen Plenty of Women Like This

"To go," Jin San said, his tone gratingly superior. "I want one of everything. Three orders to go."

He was just unlucky. He’d lost at rock-paper-scissors against Jiang Hua and Liu Wei and had been sent to buy food.

When you run a shop, you’re bound to meet all sorts of customers.

Shen Lu took Jin San’s bafflingly bossy attitude in stride, but ordering three meals to go was out of the question.

Not even an ally could break this rule.

"I’m sorry, but we have a purchase limit. Each customer may only buy one meal. If your friends or family would like to eat, you’re welcome to invite them to dine in."

He was actually rejected.

Jin San froze. He never imagined Shen Lu would refuse his order.

His temper flared instantly. He slammed his fist on the counter, making everything on it jump.

"Hey! Don’t push your luck!"

Shen Lu’s smile vanished in an instant. ’What the hell is wrong with this Gale Mercenary Corps member, coming here to cause trouble?’

"Fighting is prohibited in this establishment. Furthermore, threatening or assaulting the manager or staff is not allowed. Violators will be permanently blacklisted and refused all future service. Please be advised."

Jin San pointed at Shen Lu. "You bitch, you think I’m easily scared? Don’t think you can act all high and mighty in front of me just because you have a few tricks. I’m doing you a favor by eating here, so don’t make me do this the hard way!"

’Good. Very arrogant.’

The next second, Ye Fan and Lin Zhou were hauling Jin San out of the shop.

Ripples emanated from Lin Zhou’s Tong, firmly controlling Jin San’s arms and legs. Ye Fan slapped him on the back of the head and scolded him, "Did you get your fucking head caught in a door? Coming to Boss Shen’s place and screaming your head off? Forget you—even the boss follows the rules when he eats here. Who the hell do you think you are?"

Jin San craned his neck and yelled, "Xue Can is just chasing a girl. I’m not!"

"Chasing a girl, my ass! The boss isn’t like that."

"Pah! Only you guys would believe that."

"If you don’t believe it, then why are you here buying food from Boss Shen?"

"I came to see if her food could really soothe the Spiritual Sea. For all we know, she only added some special ingredient last time to suck up to Xue Can."

Ye Fan couldn’t help but smack Jin San on the back of the head again. "You’re really asking for it!"

The usually quiet Lin Zhou spoke up. "According to Boss Shen, you’ve been blacklisted. Don’t come back."

"Fine by me! You think I wanted to come?" Jin San retorted stubbornly. "I’ve seen plenty of women like her—she’s just a gold digger. Just you wait, Xue Can is going to crash and burn because of her!"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost." Ye Fan had Lin Zhou release his hold, then kicked Jin San in the ass.

Jin San left, cursing and muttering.

Ye Fan and Lin Zhou returned to their guard posts, and Ye Fan reported the incident to Xue Can.

Xue Can was slow to reply. Ye Fan paid it no mind, simply going back to his security duties after sending the message.

But unexpectedly, about ten minutes later, Xue Can appeared in front of him.

Ye Fan was stunned. ’Is the boss really this concerned about Boss Shen?’

’Was he afraid he couldn’t get the full story over his Light Brain, so he came all this way in person?’

"I came to eat, and figured I’d get the details from you while I was here," Xue Can said, seeming to read Ye Fan’s mind and offering a rare explanation.

’Oh, right. He just came to eat. Never mind, then.’

It was true that Xue Can came to eat here every day.

Ye Fan recounted the incident with Jin San again. Xue Can nodded slowly. "I understand. I’ll apologize to Boss Shen in a bit."

Such was the life of a corps leader. What Mercenary Corps leader hadn’t had the thankless job of cleaning up his members’ messes?
