You said you failed your college entrance exam and are now crowdfunding to build a university?

Finally, the takeout arrived. Everyone eagerly opened it and started eating, but after just one bite, someone couldn't help but spit it out.

"Ugh! How can this takeout be so awful?"

Although Zhou Zheng didn't vomit, his brows were furrowed. The takeout tasted alright, but it was utterly tasteless.

The thought of that delicious aroma wafting from the construction site instantly killed my appetite.

At the construction site, Liu Dazhu, with a toothpick in his mouth, strolled leisurely to the temporary canteen, patting his belly with one hand and looking satisfied.

Knowing that Wei Ying was going to cook for him, he immediately ordered takeout for himself.

As for the communal meals? He had no intention of eating them; they certainly wouldn't taste good.

"Huh? It's lunchtime, why is there nobody here?"

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Liu Dazhu glanced around in surprise and found that apart from Wei Ying and his assistants, the place was completely empty.

Normally, this is the workers' lunch break, and the open space in front should be full of people. But now, there's not a single person in sight.

He subconsciously looked towards Wei Ying and found that all the large basins and buckets that had been used to hold food were empty.

"Nobody's eating it? It's been thrown away?" He frowned, his face grim. If that's the case, the workers will definitely go on strike this afternoon.

"I told you not to try things blindly. Now look what happened, the construction schedule is still delayed." Liu Dazhu sighed and looked at Wei Ying with reproach.

In his opinion, it must be because Wei Ying's cooking was too bad that the workers left without touching the food.

Wei Ying had no choice but to throw away the food. Now he had to go and appease the workers.

"Hey, Liu, what are you saying?" the cook helping out explained. "Everyone else has finished eating and gone to rest so they can get back to work this afternoon."

"You've finished eating? So fast?" Liu Dazhu blinked, stunned.

"Yes, I guess the food was too delicious. They ate it all very quickly today, leaving nothing behind." The cook nodded and pointed to several empty containers next to him.

Liu Dazhu: "..."

After asking carefully, he realized he had completely misunderstood. The food wasn't bad; it was delicious!

"Just how delicious is it?" He swallowed hard, glancing instinctively at the empty bowls and buckets.

Not long after, online.

A post titled #ConstructionSiteFood# suddenly went viral and trended on social media.

The post claimed to have discovered a delicious meal at a construction site, and included a video showing a group of workers eating from a large pot, devouring the food without any regard for appearances.

"What kind of good food can you get on a construction site? It's all communal cooking, how good can it be?"

"Goodness, this is outrageous! This is the first time I've ever seen such a massive display of gluttony."

"Which construction site is this? Did they hire a state banquet chef?"

After watching the video, many people's first impression was that these people could eat a lot. At the same time, they were curious about the construction site and the chef behind it, wondering if a national chef was really involved.

This scene is truly terrifying.

However, after some investigation, netizens were surprised to find that the construction site was located at the junction of four provinces, and the head chef behind it was actually Wei Ying, the president of Haichuan University.

"Holy crap? How come there are Haichuan Universities everywhere?"

"Isn't Wei Ying good at painting and archaeology? He can even cook communal meals?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Knowing how to cook is one thing, but cooking in a construction site? That's way too difficult!"

"I was in the live broadcast room at the time, and I can testify that Wei Ying really made that communal meal. The workers ate it with gusto!"

Many netizens who were watching the live stream at the time spoke up for Wei Ying, and even posted the video of Wei Ying cooking online.

However, some netizens still didn't believe it, thinking that it was a paid troll hired by Wei Ying to promote Haichuan University by buying trending topics.

They also claimed that the workers eating in the video were all shills, and that the food at the construction site couldn't possibly be that delicious.

For a time, the internet was divided into two camps, arguing endlessly.

A live streaming room.

Zhang Keke was wearing gloves and frantically peeling crayfish. A large bowl was laid out in front of her; her goal for the day was to eat all twenty pounds of them by herself.

There are over 100,000 viewers in her live stream, all of whom are there for her mukbang (eating broadcast).

"The streamer is eating so deliciously, it makes my mouth water."

"I admit the streamer eats fast, but compared to a certain construction site, it's nowhere near as fast."

"I saw that video too, it's insane, I'm really afraid they'll get so high they'll eat me up too."

Viewers watched the live stream and commented. In terms of eating speed, Zhang Keke was nowhere near as fast as that construction worker.

"Construction site?" Zhang Keke, who was eating lobster, glanced at the comments and was a little confused.

Her fast cooking and large appetite have always been highlights of her live streams, with netizens even saying that someone is far superior to her.

"Yeah, didn't the host see the trending topics? The one with #ConstructionSiteFood#?"

"I suggest the streamer go check it out; the people inside can really eat, like they haven't eaten for days."

"I don't think the food served at construction sites can be very good; those people are probably just acting."

"The investigation is complete. It's highly likely that this was a shill hired by Haichuan University."

After reading the comments, Zhang Keke quickly picked up her phone and searched for the hashtag #ConstructionSiteFood#, which quickly became a trending topic.

The discussion has attracted a large number of participants and has already climbed to second place on the trending topics list.

The most heated online discussion is whether the construction site meals are actually real.

Many people think the video is a publicity stunt, that construction site food couldn't possibly be that good, and that the workers are all shills.

"Food at the construction site..." Zhang Keke put down her phone, her eyes lighting up.

She said to the camera, "It's been a while since I've checked out any restaurants, so why don't I go to the site this time and see what this construction site's communal cooking is all about!"

She rose to fame early on by reviewing restaurants; wherever there was delicious food, she was there. Those restaurants that didn't live up to their reputation usually went out of business after she reviewed them.

"Okay! Stop eating crayfish, go and expose them!"

"What kind of food is this on a construction site? How good can food cooked in a large pot be?"

"Those workers must have been shills hired by Haichuan University. We must expose them, we absolutely must expose them!"

"And that school principal, everyone online is practically raving about his cooking skills!"

The live stream chat was very excited, urging her to set off quickly and expose this "scam".

That night, Zhang Keke booked a plane ticket and flew overnight to the airport closest to the border of the four provinces. After several hours of bus travel, she drove around the mountains.

We finally arrived at the construction site at 11 a.m. the next day.

"This place is way too remote." She held the live streaming equipment in one hand and rubbed her aching legs with the other.

Surrounded by mountains and with difficult roads, transportation is extremely inconvenient.

It's hard to imagine that a university would choose to build its campus in a place like this. Even if it were built, I doubt many people would want to come.

"It should be just ahead." She looked around and walked towards the construction site.

But when she entered the construction site, she was stunned by what she saw.

Looking around, all I could see were people. Under the blazing sun, they were lined up in a long queue, I wondered what they were doing.
