Chapter 16: Oh My~ What About That Filthy One?
Time flew like a shuttle, and soon it was six o’clock in the evening—dinnertime.
As Su Chen leisurely descended the stairs to eat, he once again ran into Juzi and Su Chengyue in the elevator.
[Received 666 points of anger from Juzi]
[Received 666 points of anger from Su Chengyue]
Being stared at so resentfully by the two girls, even Su Chen’s thick skin felt a bit embarrassed. After all, these girls had already cleaned up nicely and come to him personally, yet he still pretended to be proper and refused them—how could he justify that?
But there was no helping it. The main problem was that his standards for women were simply too high. He couldn’t just lower his expectations and accept them simply because they were girls who came to him.
He wanted someone naturally beautiful without makeup and with a perfect figure. Juzi and Su Chengyue each had only one of these qualities; they couldn’t be combined.
He definitely couldn’t be touching one while kissing the other… that would certainly earn him a slap!
“Hi, how are you both!” Su Chen awkwardly smiled and greeted them, his mind buzzing with nervous thoughts.
“Like hell I’m good!” Juzi rolled her eyes and snorted.
Su Chengyue chuckled, “Why don’t you tell me what’s so good about you? If you’re so great, why don’t you come and take the test?”
What the hell is this test nonsense?
“Oh, I’m just shy!” Su Chen laughed heartily, then turned to Juzi. “Juzi, you look really tired. Did you stay up late last night?”
Juzi sneered, “It’s none of your business what time I sleep since you’re not sleeping with me! Hmph!”
Su Chen: “…”
How do you two come up with such witty comebacks on the spot? No wonder you’re streamers—your talent for cursing is truly remarkable. I can’t compete, can’t compete!
Seeing how much resentment they held, Su Chen decided not to engage further and avoid making a fool of himself.
But the two women didn’t care at all and started chatting right in front of him.
“You know, some men just don’t appreciate the good fortune they’re in…”
“Yeah, yeah, maybe it’s because they look good but are useless, feeling insecure!”
“Such a pity…”
“Well, maybe that’s for the best. Otherwise, we’d be the ones suffering!”
…
Su Chen: “…”
Are you two okay? Seriously?
Listening beside them, Su Chen was so frustrated he almost wanted to strip down right there and prove whether he was really useless or not!
But he quickly sobered up—he couldn’t fall for their trap. They were just craving his body and trying to provoke him with their schemes!
When the elevator doors opened downstairs, Su Chen swiftly distanced himself. Women who were so easygoing and playful were truly terrifying; he couldn’t handle it.
He randomly picked a well-reviewed braised chicken restaurant and ate while scrolling through Douyin videos.
Coincidentally, the video playing was a delivery guy complaining about the worst takeout foods.
“To be honest, that braised chicken is so bad it might as well be free—I wouldn’t eat it! I’ve been a delivery man for three years, and I feel like braised chicken is truly inedible. That frozen meat, after being cooked in a pressure cooker, just smells disgusting enough to make me want to puke. And they don’t even wash the vegetables that come with it—they’re filthy…”
Su Chen, chewing on a piece of meat: “…”
A nearby couple eating happily: “…”
[Received 66 points of anger from Lin Chaoyang]
[Received 44 points of anger from Li Xiaolin]
…
The owner, bringing out freshly made braised chicken: “…”
Su Chen hesitated briefly, then spat out the piece of chicken he hadn’t finished eating.
The couple beside him also put down their chopsticks in silent agreement, exchanging looks and refusing to eat the braised chicken before them.
A customer waiting to be served looked constipated, then hesitantly asked, “Boss, I haven’t even started eating yet. Can I return this?”
The boss replied, “Well… that’s not really possible, since it’s already made.”
“Boss, aren’t you going to argue back?” Su Chen scratched his head awkwardly, delivering a fatal blow.
[Received 999 points of anger from Wu Jun]
Seeing the boss fall silent, Su Chen decisively put down his chopsticks and left.
Outside the store, a group of college students who had wanted to eat there exchanged glances and silently queued up to follow Su Chen away.
Watching the suddenly empty restaurant, the boss was left bitter and helpless.
Isn’t frozen meat still meat? You’re just discriminating against frozen meat and treating it differently!
…
Since Su Chen only took a few bites of the braised chicken, he planned to find another place with decent hygiene to get some rice with toppings.
Suddenly, he glanced back and was startled to find about ten young people following him.
“You guys…” Su Chen asked hesitantly, wondering if the angry boss had sent people to beat him up. But he was about to buy a car soon!
“Don’t overthink it,” they said. “We’re local college students who just wanted braised chicken, but we heard your video playing on your phone, so we followed you out.”
“Yeah, we can tell you care about food quality, so we figured following you to another place would be fine!”
Oh, so they’re just innocent, clueless college students. Crisis averted.
Su Chen smiled amiably. “Alright then, I know a place that serves good rice bowls and has decent hygiene. I’ve checked out their kitchen. Want to come?”
“Sure, big brother, we’ll go with you!”
“Thanks for leading us, big brother.”
“Big brother, you’re the best!”
“Everyone line up and walk in order—don’t crowd and block the way!”
…
Su Chen: “…”
This move can be summed up in two words: excellent!
When they arrived at the small restaurant, the curvy, attractive owner lady was stunned to see a line of over ten people entering. Was this some kind of ritual?
“Ah Chen, what’s going on here?” The owner, who knew Su Chen well, asked in disbelief.
Su Chen laughed, “I’m just bringing you some business, don’t be scared…”
“Oh, I thought something was wrong! Thank you so much!”
The owner gave Su Chen a coquettish glance before busily taking orders from the group of college students. “Everyone, have a seat. Look at the menu and order whatever you want.”
After taking down their orders for rice bowls, the owner happily waddled into the kitchen to prepare the food.
While waiting, the familiar students gathered around Su Chen, joking and chatting.
“Bro, from what I observed, this owner lady definitely has a thing for you.”
“Yeah, I had the same feeling.”
“Huh, now that you mention it, it really does seem that way!”
…
Faced with the college students chattering non-stop, Su Chen felt a headache and exhaustion.
What the hell did I do to deserve meeting such a group of college kids? So annoying!
After finishing the meal and filling his stomach, Su Chen was eager to leave, afraid their stupidity might infect his clever mind.
But to his surprise, they were reluctant to part, insisting on adding him on WeChat before letting go, saying they wanted to plan the next meal together.
Back in his room, Su Chen began preparing to promote Zhu Fei.
Just thinking about being the mastermind behind the scenes, manipulating everything, made him excited.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Su Chen reposted Zhu Fei’s video on Douyin.
He added a caption:
“Although I sympathize with your situation, if you can kneel step by step along the entire length of Hefang Street, I will donate fifty thousand yuan to you—I promise I will keep my word.”
Once the video was posted, Su Chen’s original fans were the first to notice.
They couldn’t quite understand this post.
“Brother Su Chen, why make such a demand? Isn’t that a bit too much?”
“What do you mean? If you feel sorry for her, why not just give her the money directly? Why make things difficult for her? Isn’t that asking for trouble?”
“Su Chen, delete this video quickly! You’re going to bring trouble on yourself!”
“Are you crazy? If you want to do good, just do good. Why make such humiliating demands? That’s too much!”
…
Compared to Su Chen’s longtime fans, the new followers and casual onlookers were far less gentle and polite. If not for the fact that it was all carefully planned, one might be truly overwhelmed by their ruthless remarks. They showed no mercy at all!
