Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 95: So Your Name Is Chen Mo?


Pushing the door open again, Chang Jianjun strode out directly.

What the heck?

The hallucination that appeared just now was still there; he sniffed.

Damn, not only hallucinations, but even false tastes appeared?

Moreover, those people eating all stopped their actions and were staring at him!

As a doctor, Chang Jianjun was naturally an atheist, but having spent a long time in the hospital, he couldn't help but hear some of the girls gossiping about various strange incidents that happened in the hospital over the years.

"Ghosts hitting the wall?"

Imagine, the hospital at two in the morning, the inpatient department is quiet and dark, and even in daylight, few people come here, and now there's a group of four or five people sitting eating.

What a bizarre scene.

Chang Jianjun pretended he hadn't seen anything and walked to the wall, his back covered in cold sweat. He feigned calmness and lit a cigarette, glancing furtively.

"Damn it, really ghost hitting the wall!"

Those "people" were initially looking at him, but when Chang Jianjun acted like he saw nothing, they ignored him and continued eating.

"Never heard of hungry ghosts in the hospital."

At this moment, Chang Jianjun's scalp was tingling, his back felt cold, and the chill rose from the soles of his feet, but he knew he could only act ignorant, silently finishing a cigarette before leaving.

The yellow cart must be the hearse that brought them here.

Chang Jianjun knew once he showed abnormal behavior, the group of hungry ghosts would immediately pounce!

Outwardly indifferent, Chang Jianjun was secretly observing them from the corner of his eye.

Oh dear, that woman holding a mobile phone, could it be the paper offerings actually worked over there?

That fat guy, why was his noodle-slurping sound so loud! Seems he really liked noodles before.

And that seemingly refined middle-aged man, eating alone with two plates of dish, a bowl of noodles, and two buns! Perhaps he didn't eat enough before leaving.

Seeing their eating posture, Chang Jianjun further confirmed his ordeal; no one eats so extravagantly, like they're swallowing whole without chewing. At least, normal people wouldn't do that.

Gripped by fear, Chang Jianjun inhaled fiercely with every puff of the cigarette, which usually takes five to six minutes to finish, but today he smoked to the butt in under two minutes.

He continued to act calm and casually walked toward the back door.

Something's wrong.

Why is someone approaching him!

Chang Jianjun quickened his pace, feeling as if he couldn't reach the end despite being only three or four meters away.

"Hello."

Chang Jianjun's legs went weak, his throat twitched, sweat poured from his forehead, and his stomach began to cramp, a reaction only extreme fear would cause!

"Hmm." His throat managed to emit a sound akin to a dry cough.

LuLu looked at Chang Jianjun's white coat, "Are you a doctor here?"

Chang Jianjun took two deep breaths, yes or no?

After analyzing the pros and cons, he faced the back door without daring to turn his head, "I am."

LuLu's face lit up, "Great, everyone, we've met a doctor from this hospital!"

Phew...

Chang Jianjun's brain started to overload, has TikTok opened companies in the Underworld?

"Doctor, hello, we just heard someone upstairs yelling tragic curses at 'Chen Mo'. Do you know what's going on?" LuLu asked, a bit embarrassed, explaining further, "The livestream audience heard it; everyone is curious. It's quite late, so I didn't dare go up and ask."

Chang Jianjun's cold body gradually regained some warmth, the words seemed normal, not much like the ghostly scenario.

Mustering courage, he turned around. The girl had a pleasant face, dressed normally, her posture indeed showing she was livestreaming, "Who are you?"

"Oh, I came here to eat."

Chang Jianjun felt increasingly normal; his back no longer felt cold, "What's that?" He pointed to the yellow food stall.

"That is where they've set up a stall to cook."

Chang Jianjun swallowed, "So, he set up a stall here, you all came to eat, were you admitted as patients?"

LuLu felt awkward; she didn't know how to explain such a matter quickly, "Anyway, it's exactly as you see - he sets up the stall, we eat!"

Chang Jianjun finally believed they were human; curiously walking to the yellow cart, he saw a young man inside, stirring some kind of sauce with a pot spoon in the wok.

The oil smoke wafting from the black iron pot emitted a rich chicken aroma, comforting Chang Jianjun a lot.

"How did you set up a stall here?"

Seeing it was a hospital employee, Chen Mo spoke without reserve, "I'm an employee of Fenghua Investment Company, here to inspect cafeteria projects."

It's a name very familiar to the hospital staff, being the superior unit of their superior unit.

Chang Jianjun burst into laughter, wiping the sweat off his forehead, "Wow, scared me! I thought I had seen a ghost at midnight. You're from the head company; why set up a stall here?"

Chen Mo shrugged, "The cafeteria said they're out of space for booths and kitchens."

"Damn Er Niu, deliberately targeting you!"

Chen Mo waved him off, no need to mention it; anyone could see it was obvious. He poured the concentrated sauce over the whole dish of chicken pieces, "Wanna try some?"

"I'll have a serving; this is... Braised Chicken with Yellow Sauce, let's go with that." Chang Jianjun saw the price on the menu; to him, a surgeon, the price was affordable for casual eating.

Taking out his phone to scan the payment, Chang Jianjun hesitated, noticing the words on the front of the food cart.

"Chen Mu? Chen Mo? Boss, what's your relation with Chen Mo?"

Though many people share the surname Chen, Chang Jianjun felt there must be some connection.

"I am Chen Mo, why?"

Chang Jianjun backed up in confusion, pointing ahead, "You're Chen Mo!"

"I am Chen Mo, so what?"

Dunzi, Fang Zhizhong, and LuLu all gathered curiously; why was this doctor so shocked at the name Chen Mo?

"Could Boss Xiao Chen's legend have spread across the whole community?" Dunzi was extremely astounded.

Coming to the hospital for the first time and even the doctors knew Boss Chen's name, impressive!

Chang Jianjun felt oxygen-deprived, the fatigue from performing surgery paled compared to the information overload from these few minutes.

"Was it you the patient cursed earlier? No, Mr. Chen, why was the patient cursing you?"

Chang Jianjun started talking more, "Originally, the patient was scheduled for surgery tomorrow, but suddenly erupted tonight, do you understand erupted?"

Chen Mo didn't understand but could imagine.

LuLu curiously asked, "What erupted?"

"Hemorrhoids."

Phew!!!

Everyone's hearts tightened, just hearing it felt immensely painful!

"Then I rushed over. From entering the operating room, the patient cursed you the entire time. The more intense the pain, the harsher the curse. Throughout the surgery, they cursed you, and after returning to the ward, they kept cursing. Now, since the anesthesia effect might wear off, the patient might not have the energy to curse anymore."

Seeing the menu had a dish called Mapo Tofu, Chang Jianjun burst into laughter, "Seems the patient secretly ate your Mapo Tofu causing the eruption, ha ha!"

Chen Mo's toes clenched with awkwardness.

This... is it really funny?

"No worries, they probably don't have the strength to curse now..."

"Chen Mo, ah!!!"

Upstairs the agony erupted again.

"Chen Mo, you bastard!"

Everyone downstairs froze, hearing the voice didn't seem fatigued at all.

LuLu glanced at the livestream, fans who were just questioning law seemed to have changed.

"Let them curse, a few curses won't hurt, let them vent."
