Urban Construction Group, Development Zone Project Department.

Du Qidong sat up from the plank bed in the boardroom and accurately flicked his cigarette butt into a beverage bottle in the dark, then twisted the cap on.

A 500ml bottle of iced red tea, filled with cigarette butts.

"Damn it, your food has poison, is that why it's so good? I refuse to believe it, today I'll teach you a lesson!"

Originally, Du Qidong was a small survey team leader at Section Three of the Urban Construction Group. He used to work at the Nancheng project site. A week ago, the chief engineer said the surveyor at the Development Zone project had taken leave, and the project here was on a tight schedule, so he brought his team over to help out.

When rushing a project, working late into the night is normal. Sure enough, Du Qidong had just finished working and was lying down in the dorm, when he saw this particular live stream while browsing through local streams.

Such live stream content seemed obviously fake to him at first glance.

The streamer, LuLu, was over-the-top, claiming that this street vendor boss was knowledgeable enough to cook from a molecular gastronomy perspective. Isn't that pure nonsense?

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's just a construction worker; three years ago, he graduated from a proper civil engineering program!

She even said that because the food was so delicious, the massage parlor at the north end of town had no business, and even the massage parlor owner brought his female masseuses to follow the little boss and set up a food stall.

Even the small vendors from the bridge have followed this little boss to the Development Zone.

"What kind of management company's script is this, really daring to write such stuff? Today this young man will teach them a good lesson!"

Du Qidong called out in the survey group chat and immediately received enthusiastic responses from his colleagues.

There was another reason too; although the Nancheng project site is remote, as long as one is willing to pay for a taxi, one could still find something to eat even after getting off work late at night.

In Jingzhou, industries like factories and electronics plants are mainly concentrated in Nancheng, where many work night shifts, increasing the number of late-night diners.

Whereas, the Development Zone in the north of the city is geared towards high-tech industries, clearly aiming for high-end development.

Du Qidong was starving after getting off work and wanted a late-night snack. When he searched on his phone, it showed that all restaurants in the north were closed after ten, and all takeouts said they'd be delivered the next day after eleven. Even KFC wasn't operating 24 hours.

It was utterly ridiculous.

Then he stumbled upon this weird food live stream nearby on his phone; the more he watched, the more it annoyed him and the more fake it seemed, leading to the scene that just unfolded.

Construction site assembly.

Surveyor Xiaoliu asked excitedly, "What's up, did you find a place to eat?"

"Don't talk about it, luckily today is the last day, another day and I'd starve to death. Tomorrow I'm rushing back to our Nancheng project, at least you can get some Sha County food at night!"

"What's the deal, Boss Du? Calling us out in the middle of the night, is there really something good to eat?"

Du Qidong chuckled coldly, "Forget about whether it's good or not, let me put it this way: I don't know about the taste, but it's free, isn't that something?"

Hiss!!!

The few surveyors were stunned.

Free food in the middle of the night?

Du Qidong led the way, guiding the nine towards the edge of the construction site, "It's not far from here, we can just walk over."

Then he recounted what happened in the live stream to his colleagues.

"No way, Boss Du, what if the food really is good?"

"Are you dumb? No matter how good it is, you can still say it's bad, can't you? Your mouth is on your face, you still decide what to say, right?"

"Isn't that a bit shameless..."

Du Qidong impatiently stopped, "What's shameless about it? We're not deliberately tricking them, if it's good, we'll pay, if it's not, we won't pay. Simple."

Despite saying that, inwardly, Du Qidong thought, whether it's good or not, today I'm just going to say it's not!

It wasn't far away, so they leisurely made their way there.

"Well, it's pretty artsy." Du Qidong immediately saw the food truck parked by the roadside; it was midnight by then.

There were quite a few people by the roadside, mostly women in uniform, who Du Qidong knew were "playing" the part of female technicians.

There were also several middle-aged men in black sleeveless shirts and big shorts, unsure of their roles.

Under the lead of Du Qidong, they walked straight to the food truck. LuLu instantly recognized them as the troublemaking haters from the stream.

"Hey, in the stream, we were just kidding around. You guys can't eat and then unfairly say it's bad!"

Du Qidong laughed, "Haven't even started eating yet and already feeling the pressure? How about this: if it's actually good, not only will I pay, but I'll also send you a carnival!"

A gift worth 3,000 yuan in Douyin live streams.

LuLu wasn't happy, she bypassed Du Qidong and went to the food truck, "Boss Xiao Chen, this is a small business, they're from my stream, it's not your concern. Maybe you shouldn't..."

Chen Mo grinned, "What's there to hesitate? If the food's good, buy it; if not, don't. If the dishes are delicious, they pay; if not, they don't. Seems fair to me."

He looked at Du Qidong, "What do you think?"

Du Qidong felt that this little boss had some skills. At this point, he still dared to challenge him, proving he must be a character created by some talent agency!

If not for that, why the hell is he so handsome yet out here running a food stall?

Anyway, Du Qidong didn't buy it.

"Alright, we'll do as you said! If it's good, we'll pay and give this lady a carnival. If it's bad, we won't pay!"

Chen Mo pointed to an empty little yellow stool, "Please sit."

The Gold Medal Salesperson seized the opportunity, "Young man, want a foot wash? You can get your feet massaged while waiting for your meal; we even have candlelight and red roses, very comfortable."

Du Qidong saw Xiao Na looking pretty too, thinking this talent agency's female streamers are really going all out, making them wash feet to build this handsome little boss's character?

Honestly, he didn't believe it.

To uncover the talent agency's lie, Du Qidong decided, "Wash, why not! Come on, everyone, get a wash!"

The survey team saw there was such a nice offer and all sat down on camping chairs.

Not far away, He Chunming noticed and waved to the bus driver preparing to return, "I thought it was too late with no clients, didn't expect a big turn-up. Tsk, Boss Xiao Chen is amazing!"

Du Qiming saw Xiao Na actually lifted his leg to take off his shoe, scared he quickly retracted it, "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

Not like he hasn't been through a full service before.

Construction dog, who hasn't experienced the full package?

The key is, he didn't plan on washing feet when going out today, and he didn't change clothes, just wearing what he came back from the site in; his pants and shoes covered in dust.

Meanwhile, those female technicians had immaculate makeup, all in uniform, giving him a complex of inferiority.

He took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet in the bucket, watching Xiao Na skillfully fold towels, and put on gloves.

A thought popped into his head.

Could this really be a foot washing stall?

The thought hadn't fully formed when he caught a strong whiff of meat aroma, something he had never experienced in those Nancheng restaurants.

Du Qiming turned to look over.

Could this really be a food stall?
