Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 990 - 485: You Don’t Want to Embarrass Zhiwei Restaurant Either

On the way, Qin Huai unusually didn't watch video tutorials on the plane, instead, he thought about whether Gong Liang should be introduced to everyone after arriving in Shan City.

Gong Liang is considered a rare existence among the spirits who has completely detached from the main group. Although he has met Qu Jing, Wang Gen Sheng, Chen Huihong, and Shi Dadan, it was always during meals. The primary purpose was to eat. Among these four, he is most familiar with Shi Dadan, with whom he has had meals the most.

Gong Liang is a truly smart person. His intelligence is manifested in all aspects: he knows how to do business, is quick-witted, can read people's expressions, can speak well, can draw others out, and can infer from subtle expressions. He has all the advantages of a top salesperson without the arrogance that often follows after achieving success and fame.

In a certain sense, Gong Liang is neither like a spirit nor a human. He resembles a human more than most spirits do, and a spirit more than most humans do.

Introducing such an unawakened Scammer to a group of spirits, Qin Huai feared some unexpected situations might occur.

After all, the composition of spirits now is too diverse.

There's Bi fang, who seems to be radical but is actually conservative.

There's the purely conservative Yujiao.

There's Bai Gao, a radical but not radical enough.

There's the overly radical Mayfly.

There's the neutral Dang Kang, who seems not too smart but is sometimes quite clever.

There's the Wen Yao Fish, whose faction is unknown, is engrossed in work every day, is often offline but facilitated the August 20th tea party.

If the Scammer is added to the mix...

Luo Jun's house might really become a chaotic mess then.

Qin Huai thought all along the way, coming up with 18 different endings, each one ending with Luo Jun, once awakened, turning him to ash with a single breath of fire, making him feel hopeless just thinking about it.

When disembarking the plane, Qin Huai asked Zhao Cheng'an, who had been drinking beverages the entire journey, "Have you seen the group messages these past two days? When are Old Shi and Cheng Gong arriving?"

"They arrived ages ago. Old Shi arrived last night, Cheng Gong arrived this afternoon. Sister Hong has arranged the house as well; Old Shi and Cheng Gong are staying together in the same room. And guess where the house is? Right below Luo Jun's house."

"I saw in the group chat that from the 9th to the 20th floor, all the apartments of the same layout in Luo Jun's building belong to him, and he doesn't even remember."

"Just how many houses does Luo Jun own? He can't even remember them all, and they are all fully furnished, not even rented out. I even checked your neighborhood's housing prices yesterday; oh my, it's more expensive than where I live."

"How much rent could those bring in a year, Qin Huai? When you inherit the estate someday, could you let a bit peek from between your fingers? I don't ask for much, just enough for a world tour. To tell the truth, I've been persistently trading stocks these years in hopes of earning enough from the stock market for a world tour, but..."

"Alas, the stock market set me up." Mayfly sighed.

Qin Huai didn't respond, but internally acknowledged that if he ever did become wealthy, supporting a friend's dream wasn't out of the question, but it's just that this dream...

Qin Huai was worried that Mayfly's world tour would mark the end of his life, and with Luo Jun's current situation, Qin Huai had reasons to suspect that Mayfly would reincarnate before Xia Mubing, so he pretended not to hear Zhao Cheng'an's continuous chatter and pulled out his phone to check messages.

"Originally, Sister Hong was supposed to pick us up, but last night Luoluo sent me a message saying she hadn't seen me for months and missed me a lot, so she strongly insisted on coming to the airport to pick us up today."

"My dad and Luoluo are driving to pick us up. I will introduce you once we meet. Let's see... they're already at the exit, let's go."

Qin Huai led Zhao Cheng'an toward the exit, and from a distance, he could already see Qin Luo waving excitedly, jumping up and down, eager to leap in the air.

After not seeing Qin Luo for a few months, Qin Huai looked closely and discovered that Luoluo was... chubbier?

This kid supposedly spent a summer in intensive classes, right? With Luoluo's temper, remedial classes should be so unbearable that she would lose her appetite and struggle, constantly pondering how to fake an illness to avoid them and instead go to the amusement park, consequently losing weight day by day.

How has she gotten rounder from remedial classes?

"Brother! Brother!" Qin Luo shouted excitedly as she ran towards Qin Huai, grabbing his luggage and smoothly passing it to He Cheng beside her, "Brother, you promised me that if I did well in my final exams, you'd make me a feast, and if I studied hard in summer classes, you'd make me another feast. I didn't rank among the bottom 15 this time in my finals, and I was super serious in my classes, buy two get one free, so counting it all up, I shouldn't need to attend more classes and just eat until school starts, right?"

He Cheng was amazed to the point of being speechless by Qin Luo's way of rounding, but after just a two-second pause, he immediately joined in, "Really eat until school starts? Brother, you're the best!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Qin Huai looked at He Cheng and noticed he had also gotten rounder since the New Year.

Before Qin Huai could speak, Qin Congwen, who had hurriedly walked up behind them, laughingly scolded, "Okay, stop bothering your brother. Huaihuai just got off the plane after several hours — it must be tiring. Huaihuai, with the weather being so hot, your mom has made some Seven Spice Dampness Removing Tea, drink two cups of cold tea once we get home."

Qin Huai: ...

Qin Huai only felt it was a miscalculation. If he'd known, he would have advised Cheng Gong to take his vacation a few months later. Luo Jun could hold on; they could return on October 20th.

Qin Huai quickly introduced Zhao Cheng'an to the three of them, and Zhao Cheng'an very politely greeted them. Learning that Zhao Cheng'an was here for an exchange at Yunzhong Restaurant, Qin Congwen happily suggested they go back and have cold tea together, saying that the tea was specially made by Zhao Rong and not for sale, only kept for family.
