Simp, Simp, Lick to the End and You'll Have Nothing Left

The woman was initially embarrassed by Lin Yu's meaningful tone, but then she suddenly realized that the child in front of her could actually understand foreign languages!

"He must have been guessing."

The woman was unsure, but she still stepped aside and invited the three into the restaurant.

"Uncle Nine!"

Just as Uncle Nine and his group approached, a voice rang out.

Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, smiling broadly, get up from the table and walk over.

Shi Jian and his apprentice, who had just left that morning, were now looking in this direction with indifference.

Master, look there.

Lin Yu tugged at Uncle Nine's sleeve and subtly pointed towards Shi Jian's direction.

Boss Qian just came from over there; he's clearly here to steal our business.

"It's alright, everyone's got their own skills."

Uncle Nine pressed down Lin Yu's finger, signaling the others to calm down.

"Uncle Nine, you've finally arrived!"

Boss Qian warmly shook hands with Uncle Nine.

"This is my daughter. She's not only capable, but she also doesn't require any work."

As she spoke, she introduced the girl next to her to Uncle Nine.

What kind of father introduces his daughter like that? Lin Yu's lips twitched as he listened; it made one's mind wander at first glance.

"Mary, invite Uncle Nine and the others to have something to drink. I'll be over when I'm done talking."

The woman's indifference and Boss Qian's enthusiasm formed a stark contrast.

Lin Yu gave the woman a meaningful look, and the girl lowered her head awkwardly.

Even someone with thick skin would find it hard to stand being stared at like that by a child, let alone someone who isn't even that age.

The girl just wanted to escape, but couldn't find an excuse.

"Please follow me, all three of you."

Mary stepped aside and extended her hand to invite the three of them.

"What would you three like to drink?"

After being disciplined by Lin Yu, the girl's attitude became much more subdued.

I want coffee.

Since having had it last time, Uncle Nine felt more confident and ordered a cup of coffee.

Unfortunately, Jia Le had never drunk coffee before, and he was completely clueless. What was coffee? He could only look to Lin Yu for help.

"Two cups of milk tea, please."

Lin Yu knew that Jia Le had never drunk it before, so he offered to order one for him.

After placing the order, Mary turned around with a sigh of relief to prepare it.

"Still looking? Your eyes are going to pop out!"

Lin Yu pinched Jia Le, who was staring intently at him.

He couldn't even see a person anymore, yet he kept staring in that direction. Had he never seen a woman before?

"Junior brother, she's so beautiful."

Jia Le, snapping out of her daze, smacked her lips and then rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

"Senior brother, you should still be thinking about your Qingqing. You can't handle a woman like that."

Seeing Jia Le's mesmerized expression, Lin Yu smiled and reminded him, "What about Qingqing?"

"Junior brother, you know perfectly well that Qingqing has always ignored me; there's absolutely no hope for her."

Jia Le frowned whenever Qingqing was mentioned; he had been trying to win her over for so many days, but she still didn't give him a good look.

Lin Yu comforted him, saying, "Senior brother, don't worry."

"These things can't be rushed. Do you even know Sister Qingqing?"

"Besides, girls like confident men. Look at how you act in front of Sister Qingqing, what girl would like you?"

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Jia Le couldn't help but recall how he was in front of Qingqing.

It seems like he's always the one groveling and trying to please her, and he doesn't seem to really understand Qingqing's preferences.

It seems like he always likes the things I give him.

"Sigh, senior brother, remember this: a simp will end up with nothing."

Looking at Jia Le, who was deep in thought, Lin Yu uttered a famous quote from his past life.

"Junior brother, what's a 'simp'?"

Jia Le carefully considered Lin Yu's words and then asked the question that had been puzzling him.

"Um... like you."

Jia Le's receptive expression, Lin Yu assumed he understood, but after a long pause, he uttered this sentence.

Uncle Nine stood aside, silently listening to the conversation between the two younger generation members.

He couldn't help but recall his love from his youth, and comparing it to Jia Le's, it seemed that Lin Yu's words had indeed come true.

"Uncle Nine, I've kept you waiting, I've kept you waiting."

At this moment, Boss Qian's words startled Uncle Nine.

In fact, he had asked someone to invite Uncle Nine to come and look at the feng shui not long ago, but last time he himself did not believe in feng shui and superstition, so it ended up being dropped.

'How could I possibly be a simp?'

Uncle Nine dismissed his own guess and then dealt with Boss Qian.

At this moment, Boss Qian's daughter also brought over drinks for the group.

"Very good"

Uncle Nine took a sip of black coffee and instantly felt refreshed.

"Hehe, Uncle Nine, don't just drink. The sirloin here is even more famous. Would you like to try some?"

Boss Qian was momentarily stumped by Uncle Nine's question. What was Xi Leng? He'd never heard of it at Ren Fa's restaurant.

At this moment, Uncle Nine had a sudden inspiration. He took out his compass, checked the direction, and discovered that Boss Qian seemed to be sitting on the west side.

He instantly gave me a knowing look and prepared to order.

"Boss Qian, we Daoist priests don't usually eat beef. Could you get my master some pork chops or dessert?"

Lin Yu then revealed a taboo that Daoists had to keep.

Uncle Nine was about to order "Dong Leng" (a type of cold dish), quickly shut his mouth.

"Oh, my goodness, Mary, four servings of roast pork chops!"

After hearing this, Boss Qian also ordered a different pork chop.

"Okay, Dad."

Mary glanced at Lin Yu curiously, nodded, and turned to go to the kitchen.

"Uncle Nine, actually I didn't believe in feng shui at first..."

"But this Western restaurant has had almost no business since it opened; you can't help but believe it."

Boss Qian looked at Uncle Nine with a constipated expression; only he knew how much he had lost with this Western restaurant.

Seeing so many expenses flowing in every day, and then looking at the meager income that barely covers his expenses, his heart was truly bleeding.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu shook his head inwardly; business would be a miracle.

At least Ren Fa's restaurant employs some Chinese-speaking staff, but yours is just a bunch of gibberish that no one can understand when you walk into the shop.

When ordering food, other customers are faced with a huge amount of foreign language text without any warning. They might even be looked down upon if they don't know how, and have to endure the waiters' disapproving looks throughout the entire meal.

Once someone has been here, why would they come back again?

Besides, the two towns are so close together, and after comparing the two restaurants, even a fool would know which one to choose.

Uncle Nine then took a quick look around at the restaurant's layout.

"It seems there's definitely something wrong with the feng shui here."

"Ah! This..."

Upon hearing this, Boss Qian, who had been nonchalant, suddenly looked at his restaurant in surprise.

"By the way, I wonder how much Uncle Nine will charge for this feng shui consultation?"

Upon learning that there was indeed a problem with his restaurant, Boss Qian inquired about Uncle Nine's prices.

His surname is Qian (meaning money), and he is wealthy, but he's stingy. If something is too expensive, he might have to reconsider.

"Five Oceans"

Without Qiu Sheng Wen Cai causing trouble, Uncle Nine would have only symbolically accepted five silver dollars.

Five!

Boss Qian looked at Uncle Nine in surprise.

"Yes... yes"

Seeing Boss Qian's surprised expression, Uncle Nine assumed he had overcharged him.

"Great, good! Five only, haha!"

As a result Boss Qian happily agreed.
