Chapter 39: Roadside Stalls

---

"Street stalls..."

Ling Ziyao curled his lip, a look of disdain on his face.

Those street stalls were where he used to eat when he was in school. After winning over a few wealthy women, he started frequenting Western restaurants.

After becoming an idol, he became extremely particular about his food!

He tried hard to shed his past.

Now that his life was so glamorous, why would he go back to eating at street stalls?

Even if it was just an act, Ling Ziyao didn't want to; it would remind him of his past experiences.

Seemingly sensing Ling Ziyao's thoughts, the assistant quickly spoke up, "This way, it can increase fan cohesion."

"The fans who follow us now are all die-hard fans, and the good ones at that."

"Besides, Brother Ling, if you want to win over the Fang family's young lady, wouldn't this down-to-earth behavior win you more favor?"

Hearing this, Ling Ziyao's eyes lit up.

That's right!

That aloof young lady, having undoubtedly encountered many high-ranking individuals, would naturally be curious about someone as down-to-earth as her.

And curiosity is the beginning of a woman's infatuation!

If it's for pursuing a woman, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Thinking this, Ling Ziyao said calmly, "Then you arrange it."

"Okay!"

After Ling Ziyao agreed, the assistant seemed very excited, taking out her phone to search for nearby street stalls.

It was already past six in the afternoon, and street stalls were already being set up in some designated areas.

...

Meanwhile.

After leaving the Fang family, Fang Chang had Ku Duo drive him towards the Fang Group building.

He felt a little hungry on the way.

Thinking about it, it seemed he hadn't eaten anything all day, having drunk a lot of alcohol. As everyone knows, after drinking, one is so hungry one could eat a whole cow!

"Hey?! Kudo, pull over to that roadside stall over there!"

"Yes, young master!"

Kudo nodded and immediately parked the car near the roadside food stalls; there were parking spaces available.

Seeing the luxury car parked there, people who had just finished get off work and were looking for a bite to eat frequently glanced over.

Bang!

Kudo opened the car door for Fang Chang.

Fang Chang stepped out of the car and smelled the aroma filling the air; his stomach instantly rumbled!

This feels amazing!

"Let me see... wontons, fried skewers, spicy hot pot..."

"No! I want to eat it all! I want to find a seat!"

Fang Chang led Kudo to a seat and then instructed Kudo to buy all the food from the various stalls.

"Young Master's treating today! Eat as much as you can!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Ku Duo was overjoyed at the prospect of food and ran to various stalls to order.

Twenty minutes later, Fang Chang stared blankly at the mountain of food on the table and said, "Are you eating like a glutton? Can you even finish all this?"

"Hehe..."

Ku Duo chuckled and scratched his head. "Young Master, I have a big appetite. Should I treat you this time?"

"You're insulting me!"

Fang Chang flashed his large gold watch. "See that? The watch! Eat as much as you want!"

"Alright! Young Master!"

Seeing Ku Duo devour the food, Fang Chang's taste buds were also awakened. He picked up a bowl of cold noodles and started eating, while also holding a fried skewer in his hand.

The two of them devoured the food on the table in a flash.

This eye-catching scene left the surrounding diners speechless.

"Wait, I thought those scenes of rich people never eating at roadside stalls only happened on TV. What is this? Have they really never eaten this before? Or are they starving?"

"It makes me hungry just looking at it! No way! Boss, give me two more baked buns!"

"Is it really that delicious? Aren't we eating the same thing?"

"..."

Fang Chang paid no attention to the murmurs of the crowd; he was completely absorbed in his meal.

Screech!

Just then, the sound of brakes rang out, and a minivan pulled up to the side of the road.

Following the minivan's stop, several more cars pulled up beside it, and a group of youthful and attractive young people got out.

The moment Ling Ziyao stepped out of the van, his enthusiastic fans instantly swarmed around him.

"What's he doing, brother? Is he waiting for us because we can't keep up? I love him so much!"

"Brother, give me your autograph! Please!"

"Ahhh, so handsome! He's so handsome up close!"

"..."

The fans' loud shouts drew frequent glances from passersby. Some instinctively pulled out their phones and turned on their cameras, even though they didn't know who was there. Years of habit made them take out their phones to record.

The commuters who were having lunch on their way home frowned at the shrill noise. However, this was the side of the road; it was their business if they shouted loudly, and they had no right to interfere.

They were just a little annoyed.

Ling Ziyao smiled as he looked at the fans who had gathered around him. "Thank you for your support. You must be tired and hungry following me all this time. I'd like to treat you to something to eat!"

Hearing this, some fans couldn't help but burst into tears. "Look at our idol! This is the person I admire! So gentle and considerate!"

"Oppa, we're not hungry or tired! Just seeing you is worth it!"

"How can you eat such unhygienic street food! That's what poor people eat; it's easy to get a stomachache. If you're hungry, we'll treat you to a meal! To the best restaurant!"

"..."

This last sentence made the street vendor and customers frown.

What did he mean by "that's what poor people eat"? What did he mean by "unhygienic"?

Wasn't this just plain disruptive?

The crowd felt dissatisfied, but in this society, no one wants to cause trouble, especially office workers and students who have been working all day.

All they wanted to do was fill their stomachs.

"Looks like some celebrity's here? I don't recognize him, do you?"

"I think I've seen him on some billboard, but all celebrities look pretty much the same these days, I'm not sure if it's him."

"Seriously, what a big shot! By the way, are you sure everything's okay? The traffic over there seems a bit congested!"

"Hey! Let's avoid trouble. What does this have to do with us? Let's eat."

"..."

As news spread that Ling Ziyao planned to eat here, more and more fans flocked to the street.

Some, driven by their idol, didn't have time to find parking spaces and simply parked haphazardly on the road, prompting drivers behind them to honk incessantly.

Soon, the entire street was completely blocked.

Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene immediately to clear the road, but it was to no avail. Even tow trucks couldn't get in, and they could only try their best to maintain traffic order.
