After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 318 The Table-Switching Incident: What a Coincidence!

It was a small, home-style restaurant not far from the film crew's hotel.

It was lunchtime, and when Jiang Hanying and Pei Yuan arrived, there weren't many empty seats left.

However, the fact that the restaurant is bustling with people eating there also proves to some extent that the food tastes good.

"This is the one."

Jiang Hanying made the final decision.

Pei Yuan had no objections.

After they went inside, the two spotted an empty table in a corner and sat down.

The proprietress stood at the counter, and when she saw a new customer arrive, she would grab a menu, order book, and pen and go over to ask, "What would you like to eat?"

Jiang Hanying reached out and took the simple plastic-sealed menu, which consisted of two pages, front and back.

He glanced at the menu and immediately rattled off the dishes: "Stir-fried pork slices, plum-flavored spare ribs, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, sizzling shrimp on a hot plate..."

"Wait a minute," the proprietress interrupted, unable to contain herself, "How many people are there in total, young lady?"

"Just the two of us."

"The portions here are quite large. Two people usually have three dishes, and they may not be able to finish them."

Jiang Hanying now has a standard response: "We can't finish it, so we'll pack it up."

"Okay, but the takeout boxes cost money too, they're not free."

Jiang Hanying nodded nonchalantly, "No problem."

Anyway, we won't need it in the end.

"I'd also like some mixed fried rice and stir-fried bok choy. That'll do for now."

The dishes are all cooked to order, so you have to wait a while after ordering before you can eat.

Jiang Hanying heard someone outside hawking osmanthus rock sugar sweet soup. Since she had never tried it before, she wanted to give it a shot.

"You stay here, I'm going out to buy something."

Pei Yuan nodded obediently.

Jiang Hanying got up to go out and buy some sweet drink.

As we walked out of the restaurant, several more people came in together.

One of them was busy typing on his phone and almost bumped into Jiang Hanying, who had just come out.

Fortunately, his companion pulled him back in time.

"Stop chatting, fourth brother, fill your stomach and hurry back!"

Jiang Hanying passed by them, then turned back to look at the person who had just spoken up to remind his companion.

They happened to meet the person's gaze.

She raised her hand and touched her face; the mask was still on properly.

But the man's eyes seemed to recognize her even through the mask.

In addition, when these people passed by her just now, the aura they carried, though faint and subtle, was still not well contained and was somewhat obviously outward-facing.

She had just noticed it from someone this morning.

Duanmu Rongrong's bodyguard.

Unexpectedly, I ran into four more when I turned around!

What kind of luck is this?
It only took a short while to buy the sweet water; Jiang Hanying bought a cup for both her and Pei Yuan.

As for Guan Shan, who was still at the hotel, he wouldn't have the chance to enjoy this meal.

When she returned, she saw that Pei Yuan, who was waiting for her at the restaurant, seemed to be having some kind of argument.

"what happened?"

When Pei Yuan saw Jiang Hanying, she immediately had a "I have a powerful backer" look on her face and pointed, "Sister, these people want to switch seats with us. I already told you there are two of us, and we ordered quite a lot of food. The small table for two can't fit us, and that small table is near the door."

Jiang Hanying handed her a glass of the sweetened water she had bought, then returned to the table and sat down firmly, completely ignoring the four people Pei Yuan was pointing at. She went to ask the somewhat embarrassed proprietress, "Are our dishes ready?"

"Uh, almost there, it's already in the pot."

The four people, feeling ignored, exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up: "This young lady..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Hanying swallowed the sweet water filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, "I won't trade." So what if he's skilled? Does he dare to start a fight in public?

Want to change seats? No way!

After the four people had been in a stalemate for about a minute, someone finished their meal, paid the bill, and left, leaving a two-person table empty.

The proprietress quickly waved for a waiter to come and clear the table, "Um, would you like to sit separately, or should I put the two tables together?"

The four of them nodded and quietly went over to sit down.

The proprietress immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Her family's restaurant has been open for almost ten years, and she has seen all sorts of people come and go. Although the four people who just came in didn't say much, their aura and eyes alone made her subconsciously afraid, and she didn't dare to offend them from the bottom of her heart.

This little girl wearing a mask has quite a strong and assertive personality!
We were halfway through our sweet drink when the dishes we ordered started arriving one after another.

In no time, the entire table was filled with food.

"Oh dear, thank goodness we only ordered this much, otherwise we almost couldn't fit it all in the dishes." Pei Yuan deliberately raised her voice and glanced at the four people who were still waiting for the food to be served.

I wanted to prove that she wasn't deliberately refusing earlier, but genuinely wanted more!

Actually, if she were the only one eating out, she would have readily switched seats with those four people when they came over to ask to switch with her.

But Sister Hanying was there too, so she had to hold on no matter what, though she couldn't help feeling scared.

Jiang Hanying could easily see through her little scheme. "Just eat what you're looking for."

Worrying about nothing!
The two were enjoying their meal when Pei Yuan's phone rang.

She wiped her hands, took out her phone, and saw the caller ID. Her face immediately paled.

"Sis, it's Guan Ge on the phone."

"Answer it! You dare hang up?"

Pei Yuan: "..."

That's definitely out of the question.

He answered the call, "Brother Guan."

"Why haven't you come out to collect your lunch yet?" Guan Shan asked, before Pei Yuan could answer, "Where are you?"

If it were just background noise, that would be one thing; maybe the TV or video was on. But this background... it doesn't look like a hotel room at all!
"Outside, eating, having a meal."

Guan Shan's forehead vein throbbed. "Jiang Hanying took you out?"

Pei Yuan quietly flipped the camera, also showing the half-eaten dishes on the table.

Guan Shan: "..."

very good!
I didn't even think of bringing him along!
Jiang Hanying waved at the camera, "We'll go back after we finish eating."

"Or perhaps you'd like to wander around the neighborhood?"

"Maybe when I have time later."

She sneaked out this time and discovered that there were quite a few places to eat nearby.

I wonder if I'll be able to try all the local delicacies while filming here.

Guan Shan hung up the phone immediately.

Pei Yuan: "Hang up, hang up."

"It's okay, keep eating."

When it came time to pay the bill, the proprietress looked at the clean plates on the table, then at the two young girls sitting opposite her, and wanted to say something but held back.

"The total is three hundred and twenty-three, but three hundred and twenty will do."

The food at her restaurant isn't expensive; it's all affordable. Usually, two people can eat their fill for under 100 yuan. This time, the bill came to 320 yuan, which is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!
Hearing the sound of the money arriving in his account, he smiled and said, "Come visit again when you have time!"

Jiang Hanying nodded. She hadn't finished ordering from the menu yet, so she would definitely come back.

At the two-person table near the door, watching Jiang Hanying leave, Lin An picked up his cup and took a sip of water.

Although he had been active in Queshan during this period, news of events happening in the capital would occasionally reach his ears.

Among them, the name 'Jiang Hanying' is probably the name he has heard the most recently.

What a coincidence, we've run into each other!
