Chapter 187 Queue jumpers will be permanently blacklisted.
"Hey! What are you doing? Why are you pushing your way to the front?"
"Exactly! Everyone's queuing up obediently here, don't you know the rules!"
In the middle of the queue, the previously orderly long line suddenly became restless.
Several young people who had been queuing for almost half an hour were furious, pointing at a crew-cut man who had forced his way into the line from the side and loudly criticizing him.
The man with the buzz cut was wearing a floral shirt and had a leather bag tucked under his arm.
Faced with criticism from other diners, he showed no shame whatsoever; instead, he rolled his eyes.
"Who cut in line?"
The crew-cut man shouted back, "I'm just in a hurry, what's wrong with just passing by for a moment?"
Besides, it's just buying a boxed lunch here, isn't it?
What's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?
You're all reincarnated starving ghosts!
These words completely enraged the diners in line.
"You call this 'excuse me'? You've already stepped right in front of me!"
A college student wearing glasses was so angry that his face turned red.
"What do you mean by 'just buying a boxed lunch'?"
Who among us hasn't been standing here waiting for most of the day?
Go to the back of the line!
Seeing the crowd in a state of agitation, Zhang, the security captain who was standing to maintain order, immediately squeezed through with two of his men.
"What are you doing!"
Holding up a megaphone, Brother Zhang glared at the crew-cut man and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, queuing is the rule when buying things."
Please be considerate and go to the back of the line to rejoin.
When the crew-cut man saw the security guards coming and was surrounded by hundreds of eyes, he felt a little embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and decided to put on a show of being a rich and powerful rogue.
"Okay, okay, it's just queuing, isn't it?"
The crew-cut man opened the leather bag under his arm and pulled out a wad of bright red banknotes.
He counted out five bills and slapped them on the shoulder of the college student he had cut in line with.
"Hey buddy, here's five hundred bucks for you!"
I'll buy this spot!
The crew-cut man raised his chin and looked around smugly. "Is this alright now?"
I paid for this spot, and I'm standing here now—it's all legal and compliant!
What's the point of being poor to be picky!
The college student was so angry he laughed.
He slapped the crew-cut man's hand away and said coldly, "Who cares about your stinking money!"
I'm going to eat Boss Lin's food today!
Take your money and get out of here!
"Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen!"
The crew-cut man immediately got angry, rolled up his sleeves, and tried to act tough.
In front of the operating table.
Wang Hai was still holding a takeout box when he saw the chaotic scene in the queue, and his temper flared up instantly.
"Brother Chen, this bastard is too arrogant! He actually dared to run wild in front of our stall!"
Wang Hai was so angry that he threw the plastic bag in his hand onto the table, grabbed a large colander next to him, and said, "I think he's just a scalper who resells seats!"
"Brother Chen, just say the word, and I'll go over and kick him out!"
Lin Chen did not answer immediately.
He reached out and turned off the valve on the high-powered stove.
Lin Chen grabbed a towel from the side, wiped his hands, and walked out from behind the control panel.
Seeing that Boss Lin had personally come forward, the previously noisy diners all made way for him.
Lin Chen walked up to the man with the crew cut and looked at him.
"Do you want to buy food?"
Lin Chen asked.
The crew-cut man felt a little uneasy under Lin Chen's gaze and subconsciously took a half step back, forcing himself to maintain his composure as he said, "Nonsense!"
I'm standing here with money in my hand. Am I buying food or watching a play?
"Hurry up, give me three servings of that minced meat rice, I'm in a rush!"
"Not for sale."
Lin Chen didn't waste any words and directly uttered two words.
"What?"
The crew-cut man was stunned, thinking he had misheard. "Boss, don't you open a business to make money?"
I have money! A meal costs 120, right? I'll give you 250!
Keep the change, please!"
As he spoke, he took the stack of banknotes and handed it directly to Lin Chen.
"The rule for booth number one is to queue up, first come, first served."
Lin Chen said, "I won't sell to people who cut in line, no matter how much money you offer."
Now, leave the group.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the diners in line immediately lit up.
That's great! When people buy things, what they hate most is encountering merchants who try to smooth things over.
Lin Chen's words, "Not for sale," resonated deeply with everyone!
The crew-cut man was completely enraged. He threw his bag down and started acting like a scoundrel.
"What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty!"
I'm putting my words right here today!
I'll stand in this spot!
If you don't sell it to me, no one else can buy it!
"Let's see how you run your business now!"
Brother Zhang couldn't stand it any longer, so he pulled out his walkie-talkie and was about to tell his brothers to chase the people away.
Just then, Tangtang, who was sitting on a small stool at the control panel, suddenly ran over carrying a small red plastic basket.
The little girl toddled over to Lin Chen, her rosy cheeks gleaming, her big eyes glaring at the crew-cut man, her little arms tightly protecting the basket of spoons in her arms.
"That mean uncle won't wait in line! He won't give you a single spoon!"
Tangtang shouted in a childish voice, but very loudly, "Without a spoon, you can't eat the big meat that Daddy made!"
snort!"
This childlike act of protecting his food instantly broke the tense atmosphere.
The surrounding diners were taken aback at first, then burst into a huge uproar of laughter.
"Haha! The squad leader is right! No spoons for those who don't line up!"
"Did you hear that? Even a little girl who's only a few years old wouldn't even look at you, and you, a grown man, are acting like a scoundrel? Aren't you ashamed of yourself!"
"Get out of here! Stop embarrassing yourself!"
The diners' laughter came like a tidal wave.
Lin Chen reached out and gently ruffled his daughter's hair, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
Then, he raised his head again, looking coldly at the crew-cut man, and turned to give instructions to Wang Hai in front of the control panel.
"Wang Hai".
"Hey, Brother Chen!"
Wang Hai, still clutching the large colander in his hand, responded loudly.
"Remember this person's face."
Lin Chen pointed at the crew-cut man, "From now on, never sell him anything from stall number one."
We won't serve food as long as he's in the line.
A decisive blow! Permanent blacklist! Upon hearing this, the surrounding diners almost wanted to applaud on the spot.
To protect the interests of customers queuing in line, the boss directly blacklisted a scalper who was causing a scene. This boss is really tough!
"Alright, Brother Chen! I've etched that bastard's face into my memory!"
Wang Hai loudly echoed, "Everyone should be a witness!"
The crew-cut man's face looked worse than if he had swallowed a fly.
Originally, I thought I could gain an advantage by making a fuss, but not only did I not get the food, I was also permanently blacklisted in public and ridiculed by hundreds of people.
"You...you just wait!"
The crew-cut man knew he wouldn't get away with it today, especially since security guard Brother Zhang had already surrounded them with his men.
He uttered a harsh remark, then sheepishly picked up his bag and fled amidst the boos of the crowd, quickly disappearing into the flow of people.
As the man fled in a disheveled state, the group erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Boss Lin is awesome!"
"That's so generous! Just because of your good behavior today, I'll come and line up every day from now on!"
After this little incident, Lin Chen's popularity among diners was completely boosted.
"Everyone, please calm down and continue queuing."
Lin Chen remained calm as he led Tangtang back into the greenhouse and settled the little girl on a small stool.
"Brother Zhang, you've worked hard."
Lin Chen nodded to Brother Zhang.
"Leave it to me! Let's see who dares to cause trouble today!"
Brother Zhang patted his chest and guaranteed it.
Lin Chen turned around and walked back to the stove with its roaring fire.
"Wang Hai, fill the rice container."
"Alright! Let the battle continue!"
Wang Hai responded.
