Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 112 The First Employee

Ma Lu finished packing the braised intestines for Hou Yihan, then filled up another bowl and brought it over to He Xiaoqian, who was dancing at the side.

He Xiaoqian took the braised intestines with a pleasantly surprised look, and then instinctively reached for her phone, "This... how much is it?"

"It's on the house, a gift for you. Take your time eating, you need a full stomach to keep on dancing," Ma Lu said softly. "If it's not enough, I've got more. I'll replenish your bowl for free."

"Are you having fun?" Yu Yitong said from the side.

"Quite a bit, actually."

"Fine, you win, I'm not eating it," Yu Yitong stepped back twice, "I'll go have Squid Brother's grilled squid. I don't like intestines anyway."

Ma Lu laughed as if he had heard something hilarious. "Hahaha, you don't like intestines? Then who was it that bought near-expiration-date chili oil intestines online, ended up with acute enteritis, and had to be rushed to the hospital emergency room by me in the middle of the night? Oh, and I was the one who delivered your urine sample to the lab."

Yu Yitong had already turned to leave, but stopped at these words, "Was I not saving money by eating near-expired food just so I could buy you a new phone for your birthday?

"Ah, here it comes again. You're still the same, always full of lies. You were clearly saving up for studying abroad. You had been thinking about breaking up with me since then, and I didn't notice it at all."

"Maybe."

"I knew it." Ma Lu snapped his fingers.

"Anyway," Yu Yitong checked the time on her phone, then looked up, "I'm glad to see you again, you haven't changed much from before. I've got to go, I have a lot of work to do this afternoon, and tonight I need to accompany my boyfriend to the dentist, can't work late. If you think it over in the next couple of days and want to apply for the job at Mei Ping, you can submit your resume. I'll talk to the team leader..."

"No thanks, I'm quite satisfied with my current job," Ma Lu paused, then said, "You have a boyfriend now?"

"Why, do you care?"

"Not at all, just a bit curious about which man in this world is so unfortunate. I feel a bit sorry for him."

"You should probably take care of yourself first."

Yu Yitong finished talking and glanced at He Xiaoqian on the side, didn't go to buy grilled squid, and just left with long strides.

"Leaving? Are you going elsewhere to set up your stall?" He Xiaoqian was taken aback. "But isn't your business here doing very well?"

Since she was always dancing nearby, nobody had a better idea of how many customers The Universe's Number One Snack Stall attracted than her.

Then something else occurred to her, and she murmured, "Is it because of that sister today?"

"Hey, it's got nothing to do with that person," Ma Lu explained. "It's not because business is bad, in fact, it's the exact opposite. It's because business is too good that I'm thinking of changing location. And this time, I won't be setting up a stall anymore. I've rented a storefront, planning to run a restaurant."

"Wow, that's amazing. You're going to open a restaurant so soon? From now on, Ma Ge, you and Uncle Wang will both be bosses," she exclaimed.

He Xiaoqian was genuinely happy for Ma Lu and Old Wang, but on the other hand, the news came as a bit of a surprise to her.

She had just gotten used to dancing by the snack stand, and it wasn't as embarrassing as before. Her livestream had started to pick up, and now Ma Lu was about to leave.

She didn't know if the next stall owner would let her dance there. No, with Ma Lu and Old Wang gone, dancing there seemed pointless.

He Xiaoqian wanted to ask Ma Lu where his new store would be and if she could follow them there.

But then she thought it might not be appropriate. When Ma Lu ran a street stall and she danced alongside, the impact might not have been so big. Stay tuned to мѵʟ

Now that Ma Lu was opening a restaurant, if she continued to dance nearby, it might make the restaurant seem less classy.

And if she danced outside, separated by a door, He Xiaoqian wasn't sure if she could still bask in its popularity.

Whilst He Xiaoqian was lost in her thoughts, Ma Lu asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I want to be a barista."

"Oh, I know that. I mean, after we leave, do you plan to continue being a host?"

"I guess so," He Xiaoqian sniffed. "I don't know how to do anything else."

"Hmm, but I think you're pretty good at serving food, attending to customers, and cleaning up. Would you be interested in working as a waitress in my restaurant for a while? Of course, if you still want to livestream and dance, you can continue that after work."
