Chapter 8: Encounter other players by chance. Tao’s heart is broken!

Everyone was utterly bewildered. No surprise, this woman is so arrogant. Typically, folks fear the criminal world. Over time, she believed she could act without consequences, assuming nobody would challenge her. It’s acceptable to be confident in general. Most people move on from being mistreated. Yet, she encountered Lin Yang today. She might not even be aware that her spouse has a criminal record. Entranced by her self-assurance, the blame falls on her husband for marrying such a troublemaker by sheer misfortune. Fortunately, thanks to her, the police unintentionally apprehended a fugitive.

[Popularity]+1+1+1+1. [Popularity]+1+1+1+1…

….

[A family with a good wife will not worry about being imprisoned. This man is also unlucky. After encountering such a scam, he is better now, completely cool.]. [Some people are used to bullying and always feel they are awesome. He will kick the iron plate one day, and reality will slap him heavily to teach him to be a man.]. [It’s a pity. I thought this woman had some criminal record, and I guess she will be in prison for a few months at most, and then she will be released again.]. [Forget it, do you think she dares to be arrogant this time? Give her complete honesty once, lack of social beatings!].

….

Old Wang, who was in the inquiry room, sought to understand the situation. Upon receiving the sudden message, everyone was immediately stunned, and the questioning abruptly ended. Addressing the man in black nearby, he instructed, “Come here first. You can head back for now, and I’ll contact you later if needed.”

“Can I leave now? No need for detention?” Asked the man in black.

“Yes, you’re free to go!” Came the response, and the man in black hurried away with a squeak.

Shortly after, four police officers entered, handcuffing the remaining individuals. Confused, one of them questioned, “Police officer? Why the arrest? It was just a fight. He’s gone, so why am I being detained?”

Old Wang smiled flatly and replied, “Now, let me explain the incident where you nearly killed someone with a gun five years ago.”

Shua~~~.

Upon hearing this, the man’s expression changed drastically. He realized he had been caught, though he couldn’t fathom why a mere brawl led to his discovery.

Meanwhile, Lao Wang’s wife, upon learning her husband was a fugitive, was completely dumbfounded. Realizing she might face charges herself, she grappled with the consequences of her actions.

In the afternoon, Lin Yang endeavored to convince the director to stay, offering a cup of his brewed hairy tips tea. Having assisted in an anti-fraud operation and inadvertently aiding in capturing a fugitive, Lin Yang surprised everyone. The director even surrendered his office for Lin Yang to have a good night’s sleep, which lasted until nearly dark.

Upon waking up, Lin Yang’s sleep-deprived state left Team Chen and others dumbfounded. The netizens in the live broadcast room, witnessing his delayed awakening, couldn’t help but complain.

[I have never seen such an unreliable contestant. He is exhausted all day, but he is lucky. He is either at the police station or on the way to the police station. In the end, I was still sleeping in the director’s office, which is outrageous!]. [Who calls someone a hero? If I were the director, I would happily let him sleep. If he can bring surprises every day, I wish he could come here to sleep every day and even prepare a soft bed for him to sleep in!]. [The problem is he is still competing. Let’s not say too much if you look at the other contestants. No. 30, although he is just a waiter in a restaurant, you can see how energetic he is. He got along with the owner and chef of the restaurant on the first day of work.]. [I also read No. 30. He has a lot of emotional intelligence and a brain. The upper limit of a waiter’s job is low. But it would be different if he could fool the boss into buying him shares.].

….

Lin Yang remained oblivious to the complaints in the live broadcast room. After leaving the police station, he decided to have dinner at a local restaurant, feeling rejuvenated after an afternoon nap.

It’s okay to run until midnight.

A few minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of a local restaurant. Pulling up at the restaurant’s entrance, Lin Yang stepped in. As soon as the boss saw a guest, he greeted him with a smile.

“Boss, would you like to eat something?” The restaurant boss asked.

Lin Yang looked up at the menu on the wall. After contemplating, he ordered, “One serving of crayfish, one serving of braised chicken, and one serving of braised carp. Two bottles of iced Coke!”

“Would you like some rice also?” The boss inquired.

“The food is sufficient,” Lin Yang replied. “No need for rice.”

“Sure, sure, sure! Boss, wait a moment. I’ll have it done right away,” the boss acknowledged.

A diligent young man swiftly wiped dishes in the back kitchen, impressing even the nearby chopping board. The chef praised him and promised to add tomato soup to his dinner for his excellent performance. Despite being just an ordinary waiter, the young man believed in shaping his destiny. His hard work earned him satisfaction from the kitchen staff in one day, a stark contrast to jobs where income is uncertain on the first day. As he knew, survival was crucial, and even a bit of nourishment made his life fulfilling.

The boss entered the kitchen and ordered crayfish, braised chicken, and braised carp for Lin Yang. In less than ten minutes, the dishes were ready. The chef instructed to serve the dishes to table 15, and the young man swiftly did so.

At table 15, Lin Yang received his crayfish and the promise of the other dishes arriving soon. Unaware of the live broadcast’s excitement, he enjoyed a refreshing Coke, peeling the crayfish and savoring his meal. Little did he know, the live broadcast room was buzzing with activity.

[Fuck shit! Wasn’t that waiter number 30 just now? What a coincidence!]. [It’s not a coincidence. The program team put all 100 contestants in Xihai City, so it’s normal to meet them.]. [The point is, today is only the show’s first day. What do you think Lin Yang eats? Eat a big meal at noon and a big meal at night! We must know that many contestants don’t have to eat steamed buns!]. [That’s right, thinking about it this way, it feels outrageous. Isn’t the treatment gap too big? What would he think if No. 30 knew Lin Yang was also a player?].

….

The second and third dishes were promptly served.

The boss announced, “Boss, your dishes are ready!”

“Well, it’s troublesome,” Lin Yang responded.

Just as No. 30 was preparing to leave, the diner noticed a red light on Lin Yang’s chest, identical to his own. Stunned, he couldn’t help but ask, “Handsome guy, are you a contestant on ‘Happy Workplace Talent’?”

Surprised, Lin Yang replied, “You can see that!”

“Really? Damn it! Did you eat like this on the first day? What the hell are you doing….” the diner exclaimed.

“It’s nothing. You can eat it if you want. You’re also a contestant, right?” Lin Yang suggested.

No. 30, looking at the dishes on the table, couldn’t resist drooling. Feeling a bit desperate, he hesitated to admit that he, too, was a player.

At that moment, a voice from the back kitchen called, “Then who… what kind of expert contestant? Your tomato soup is ready. Come and drink it!”

No. 30 sighed, “Tired, forget it, this life is meaningless!”
