The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Cheesy Pickup Lines

After being driven off the set, Shen Lu didn’t leave right away. She found a rather conspicuous spot and waited.

Xue Can asked, confused, "Boss Shen, is there something else?"

Shen Lu watched Qin Shuangshu, who was looking all around. "The person I’m waiting for is here."

Qin Shuangshu quickly found Shen Lu, walked over, and invited her up to a room.

The lower floors of the Chenhai Building were a shopping mall, the middle floors were offices, and the top floor was residential.

However, the elevators for each section weren’t interconnected. They were all dedicated elevators.

Li Zexing had an apartment in the Chenhai Building that he rarely used. He would occasionally host friends there whom he couldn’t very well bring home, so a cleaner came by regularly to tidy up and restock fruits and tea bags for guests.

Qin Shuangshu keyed in the code to open the door and invited Shen Lu and Xue Can inside.

"So, Boss Shen, what brings you to see Ze Xing today?"

Li Zexing might have been a bit of a jerk, but he still had his principles.

Having accepted gifts from others makes one feel indebted. Since he had eaten Shen Lu’s food, he naturally had to ask what she wanted.

But since the director had gotten angry and thrown them out, as the lead actor, he couldn’t openly defy the director. So, he had Qin Shuangshu handle it.

Shen Lu pursed her lips and mentally cursed Li Zexing.

’His personality is so annoying.’

"I want to buy some of Li Zexing’s merchandise. Preferably a large quantity."

It wasn’t right to always be taking things for free. Shen Lu planned to buy enough merchandise in one go to last her for half a year.

Qin Shuangshu had thought Shen Lu was going to ask for a difficult favor, but it turned out she just wanted to buy some merchandise.

He asked Shen Lu to wait a moment, then sent a message to his assistant to check their merchandise inventory. He then offered to sell it all to her at a significant discount to clear out their stock.

After all, Li Zexing’s new show was set to release over the New Year. There would be new merchandise then, so clearing this old stock out now would also free up a lot of space.

"I’ll have someone deliver it to your shop tomorrow, Boss Shen."

"Thank you."

With their business concluded, Shen Lu got up to leave.

"Oh, right, Boss Shen," Qin Shuangshu called out to her. "Um, the food you brought today... there’s really nothing wrong with it, is there?"

Qin Shuangshu finally voiced the concern that had been weighing on his mind.

It wasn’t that he suspected Shen Lu of intentionally trying to harm Li Zexing, but rather that he was afraid her good intentions might cause a disaster.

This show was a crucial turning point in Li Zexing’s career; he couldn’t afford even the slightest mishap.

"Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with it. I tasted it myself before I brought it over, and everyone at the shop ate some too. We’re all perfectly fine."

Qin Shuangshu breathed a sigh of relief. "My apologies, Boss Shen. It’s not that I don’t trust you."

"It’s fine."

After seeing Shen Lu and Xue Can off, Qin Shuangshu returned to the set. Li Zexing was sitting quietly in a chair, reading his script.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Li Zexing asked without looking up, "She came for the merchandise, didn’t she?"

"How did you guess?"

"What else? Did you think she was a fan who came all this way just to visit me on set?" There wasn’t a trace of adoration in that girl’s eyes when she looked at him; it was like she was looking at a bouquet of flowers.

"She said she wanted to buy, so I sold her everything left in the warehouse at a low price." Qin Shuangshu sat down beside him. "What on earth were you thinking today? Why did you let those two onto the set?"

Li Zexing was always very serious about his work. Normally, he wouldn’t even let Princess Ruoxin visit the set more than a few times, let alone Shen Lu and Shen Lan.

Li Zexing gave a meaningful smile but didn’t answer.

’What other reason could there be? It was to kill with a borrowed knife, of course.’
