However, after much thought, Zhou Chen decided to send the news of the barbecue restaurant's opening to Bai Ling and Ji Linlin.

Bai Ling has helped a lot for the barbecue restaurant, so of course she should be invited.

Ji Linlin, we are an old acquaintance, so we should be more polite.

As soon as the message was sent, I received replies from two beautiful women at the same time.

Bai Ling, "OK, I want to eat the rich! I must eat it back!"

Ji Linlin, "It's Saturday, people are busy, maybe I can't come."

Chapter 174 Lei Ming and Sang Xia

Saturday, Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant.

Now that the brand has been established, Zhou Chen followed Lu Qiao early in the morning and purchased 100 kilograms of mutton, 100 kilograms of beef, and other types of barbecue ingredients.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to buy some more, but Lu Qiao was afraid that it would be wasted if not all were sold out. Besides, barbecue is for the novelty of it, and she didn’t want to stockpile it in the refrigerator and give customers a bad experience.

Helpless, Zhou Chen had to do as Lu Qiao said.

"Zhou Chen, do you think anyone will come today?"

In the shop, Lu Qiao was cutting meat, while Zhou Chen, Cheng Yushan and brother-in-law Zhou Lixuan were skewering the meat in an orderly manner.

As she watched the skewers of meat being prepared, Lu Qiao still felt a little worried.

"Aunt Lu, don't worry, it's not dark yet. Wait until the evening, there will definitely be a lot of people!"

Zhou Chen grinned and continued to comfort Aunt Lu.

I feel helpless inside. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. The business is about to start. There is no need to worry about these things. I should just roll up my sleeves and get to work!

"Yeah, mom, don't worry. We're definitely going to be a blast!"

Cheng Yushan sat aside and couldn't help but follow her husband's lead.

She has unconditional trust in Zhou Chen.

What's more, my boyfriend is not only a singer but also an author. Not to mention how many fans he has online, he probably has quite a few fans in Xingzhou alone.

Back in Beijing, Cheng Yushan had witnessed the signing event of Zhou Chen's new book. She believed that even if the barbecue restaurant opened today, it would not be too popular, but there would definitely be no shortage of people.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"

Lu Qiao had no choice but to continue preparing the ingredients.

And on the opposite side.

In the Hunan restaurant, many waiters were also looking at the barbecue restaurant opposite.

"I really envy Lu Qiao. I was coaxing her because of Zhou Chen before, but I didn't expect that I would actually open a barbecue restaurant for her!"

"Yes, since she didn't want to work, I just opened a shop for her. Where can I find a son-in-law like her?"

"That girl is not simple either, 700 points, you try it!"

"Do you think her barbecue restaurant can survive?"

These waiters have known Lu Qiao for some time. They chatted a lot about family matters on weekdays and are familiar with the situation of Lu Qiao's family.

What's more, Zhou Chen is a public figure and is almost transparent in front of them.

Seeing that those who used to be workers like me have now become barbecue restaurant owners and work for themselves, it would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

"Go, go, go, get to work."

While they were discussing, they heard the lobby manager's impatient urging voice from behind.

Everyone sighed helplessly, hung their heads, and went about their own business.

"They actually opened a barbecue restaurant, and it's right across from my house. They're doing this on purpose to make me angry!"

The lobby manager glanced at the Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant across the street, especially the word "Zhuangyuan", which was particularly eye-catching to her.

In the past few days, she went home and talked to her child again and again, but the child would rather go to eastern Guangdong to work than repeat the year, which made her very angry.

"Humph, do you think that if you name your barbecue a champion, people will come? If everyone eats your barbecue, they will pass the exam and become the champion, then they won't have to go to school anymore."

The lobby manager rolled his eyes, his triangular eyes full of envy and jealousy.

"There are so many barbecue restaurants on this street, why should we eat at yours? Humph, young people don't know what to do when they have a little money. I want to see how long you can last!"

Having said that, the lobby manager turned around and left to continue his inspection.

scoff!

However, as soon as she turned around, she heard a sharp brake sound coming from outside.

The lobby manager couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see an SUV suddenly stop at the door of the Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant. Five or six people got out of the SUV at once and all headed towards the barbecue restaurant.

"Tsk, there are only five or six people. They look like teachers from Minglong Middle School. I guess they are here to show their support, right?"

She watched as those people hugged Zhou Chen and Cheng Yushan excitedly. Moreover, she also knew one of them, Lei Ming from Class 11 of Minglong Middle School, who had been on the news before.

The lobby manager shook his head disdainfully and didn't take it seriously.

It is not uncommon to see many people coming to support the opening of a store. Only after a few days of official opening can we see the true level of a store.

"Hey, you guys are here so early, sit inside, sit inside!"

At the same time, Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant.

Seeing the members of Class 11 suddenly appear, Zhou Chen and Cheng Yushan hurried forward to greet them.

They hadn't seen each other for some time since they visited Li Ran's grandmother Ge Guifen, so they felt particularly cordial when they met again.

However, Zhou Chen soon noticed that Lei Ming and Teacher Sang Xia were holding hands. Something was wrong...

"Lao Lei, Teacher Sang, you guys..."

Zhou Chen looked at Lei Ming and Sang Xia.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to them.

"Hey, you guys are allowed to date, but we teachers are not allowed to date!"

Being watched by so many people, Lei Ming was not shy at all. Instead, he hugged Sang Xia in his arms and said to everyone,

"Today, on the occasion of the opening of the Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant, I would like to announce to everyone that Sang Xia and I are in love! Please give us your blessings!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately greeted with cheers.

However, in addition to their blessings, a group of students gathered between the two and started gossiping crazily.

The students in Class 11 have been together for a whole year. During this year, they have been together day and night, eating and living together, and Lei Ming and Sang Xia have naturally had contact with each other as well.

For example, when Lei Ming was resting in the office on weekdays and suddenly felt hungry, he would borrow Sang Xia's small rice cooker or something. In addition, Sang Xia was Lei Lizhou's student, and the two had known each other for more than a year or two.

But Zhou Chen and others didn't know all this. Now that they found that the two were suddenly together, it naturally aroused great curiosity.

"Tell me quickly, how did you get together?"

"Who is chasing whom?"

These teenagers who had just graduated from high school naturally had great yearning for love, and they began to check the household registration one by one, making even the graceful teacher Sang Xia feel a little embarrassed.

She didn't know when she suddenly fell in love with Lei Ming, but over the past year, the two of them had only been in a work relationship with some jokes and they never broke the window paper.

Until the day of checking the college entrance examination scores, Sang Xia wanted to pretend to be drunk to give someone a chance, but she never expected that Lei Ming fell down before she could pretend to be drunk.

So, Teacher Sang had to change his strategy and carried Lei Ming to his bed, and then... the two of them were together.

There's no way. These days, if a woman doesn't take the initiative, she doesn't necessarily have love.

Chapter 175 A ​​bustling crowd

"Boss, are you open yet? We want to have barbecue!"

Just as everyone in Class 11 was laughing, a group of people suddenly walked in front of the barbecue restaurant and prepared to order food as soon as they entered.

However, when they saw Zhou Chen, their eyes lit up and they rushed towards him.

"Dou Da, you are really here, I miss you so much, I am your fan!"

"Dou Da, I came here from Xingzhou North by bus. Can I take a photo with you?"

"Oh my, I finally saw my idol!"

In a blink of an eye, these people surrounded Zhou Chen. This formation scared the other members of Class 11.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen was well prepared. Facing the chaos, he acted in an orderly manner.

"Come one by one, there will be something for everyone. Well, can you please order first? No need to order, no need to take photos!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate burst of laughter, but the order at the scene was somewhat stabilized.

After these people finished taking photos with Zhou Chen, they found a place to sit down. While looking at Zhou Chen, they frantically shared their photos with Zhou Chen on the Internet. They were so excited.

Zhou Chen had just finished dealing with them and was about to continue chatting with Lei Ming, Sang Xia and the others when he saw a large crowd of people pouring in from outside. Well, it seemed that there were quite a lot of fans coming today and he couldn't continue chatting.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you tonight!"

While taking photos with fans, Zhou Chen looked at Lei Ming and others for help.

Seeing the situation at the scene, without Zhou Chen's instructions, Lei Ming and Sang Xia, together with the people from Class 11, began to greet the fans.

Today is the first day that Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant opens. As Zhou Chen's supporters, they are not here to eat but to help. When faced with something like this, how could they just sit still?

As a result, the huge barbecue restaurant became busy all of a sudden.

In just less than ten minutes, not only were the seats inside the store full, but even the open-air chairs outside the barbecue restaurant were also filled with people.

"Xiaoxuan, bring this plate over to seat number one!"

"Xiaoxuan, this is for table number five, don't make a mistake!"

Lu Qiao, standing in front of the barbecue grill, no longer had time to worry. She never imagined that a few minutes ago, there was no one in the store, but now, it was full of people.

With so many people, how many skewers should we buy?

Even though she knew that these people came only for Zhou Chen and might just come for a meal, Lu Qiao was still extremely happy.

"Number five, table number five!"

Zhou Lixuan was like a little adult. Despite his young age, he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he was particularly excited to see so many Doupo fans.

These people are all like-minded people with me.

As Zhou Lixuan's small body shuttled back and forth between each table, fans from all over the world began to taste the barbecue in the barbecue restaurant one by one.

Immediately, the aroma of barbecue began to spread.

"Don't mention it, this barbecue is really delicious!"

"Those guys are all Zhou Chen's classmates. I envy them."

"Haha, my idol served me barbecue today. The 100 yuan I spent on the trip was not in vain!"

The fans ate with great relish and raved about the meal.

Especially when you see your idol so close to you, the barbecue in your mouth tastes even better.

The sudden appearance of so many people at Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant attracted the attention of other nearby businesses and passers-by.

There are many restaurants and customers here, but after a long period of development, the customer flow of each store has actually become stable. As a result, the Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant was suddenly packed with people, which naturally made it particularly eye-catching.

"What's the background of this barbecue restaurant? Why are there so many people there?"

"Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant, haven't you heard of it? It's opened by Zhou Chen from Minglong Middle School, the provincial champion from our Xiangnan!"

"Good boy, knowledge can really create wealth."

The bosses were whispering and talking to each other.

After finding out the background of Zhuangyuan BBQ Restaurant, everyone was dumbfounded and filled with envy.

However, some people with smart minds did not just stand there, but sent their waiters to solicit customers. Anyway, your Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant is full and ours has just opened, so it doesn't matter where you eat BBQ.

As a result, these customers refused to move even if they were waiting in line, which made the boss very anxious.

"My goodness, this...how is it possible?"

On the opposite side, the lobby manager of the Hunan restaurant apparently noticed something was wrong. When he walked out the door and took a look, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
