Chapter 1093: Chapter 490: My Child, His Name Is Xiao Chuan
"Ha, ha, Lin Li, what you said... it does, it kind of makes sense, ha..." Du Zhuo replied with difficulty, "Good evening, long live the night."
"Right."
"Yes, yes." Du Zhuo smiled cooperatively, then finally returned to his loyal driver’s seat, quickly changed the subject: "Let’s go have some late-night snacks first!"
"Sure!"
After driving for a dozen minutes, the car arrived at the destination.
Brother Sun’s barbecue shop.
The shop isn’t very big, but despite it being half past midnight now, there are people sitting inside and outside, which shows the flavor must be really good.
"Brother Sun!" As Du Zhuo parked the car and walked into the barbecue shop with Lin Li, he greeted the owner who was busy grilling.
Brother Sun is a bald man in his forties or fifties, wearing only a short-sleeved top and an apron while grilling.
Upon hearing him, he looked up, saw Du Zhuo, and smiled, nodding: "Old Du, here for a late-night snack?"
"Yep."
Since Lin Li mentioned in the car that he wasn’t picky, Du Zhuo took the liberty of ordering a bunch of dishes, and after finding a spot in the shop with Lin Li, he enthusiastically introduced:
"Lin Li, you can add Brother Sun on WeChat later, he’s very reliable, not only good at grilling, but also well-connected, can help with many things, like phone recycling, renting apartments, studying abroad, exams, even private detective work, job introductions, matchmaking, anything you need help with, just add him, you might use him sometime."
"Really, that impressive?" Lin Li asked in surprise.
"Really," a man at a nearby table in the shop turned his head and gave a thumbs up:
"Kid, let me tell you, last time I put someone into a vegetative state, Brother Sun helped me apply for municipal green-space subsidies."
Lin Li: "?"
And as soon as this man started talking, the shop instantly became lively, it seems everyone there had been helped by Brother Sun—
"Yes, indeed, the house I bought in New York had bad sunlight, blocked by some buildings, Brother Sun got some Arab brothers to fix it easily for me!"
"Really, I wanted to study in a German art college before, Brother Sun helped an unfortunate guy get dropped out and got me in instead!"
"I once buried two kids in the garden, originally I was sentenced to death, Brother Sun argued they were ginseng in court, and I got just a 5 points penalty on my top-ranked credibility score instead."
"That’s nothing, I illegally imprisoned over sixty people, Brother Sun got all clearances for my breeding license, that’s showing real power!"
"Same here, last year I crashed my car, sent a family flying, only left an old guy, gave Brother Sun two packs of cigarettes, he got orphan subsidies for the old man, labeled others as hit-and-run, everyone was happy."
"Let me tell you, with Brother Sun’s words, my seventy-two-year-old mother finally agreed to use the air conditioner in winter, and was willing to throw away partly rotten fruit."
"Wow, Brother Sun is even more powerful then!!"
"You all bully people, I got bullied by a bald guy, asked Brother Sun for help, he sent that guy to live on a small island!"
"My old sow hasn’t given birth for a long time, had the whole family worried, later I knew about Brother Sun from a friend, Brother Sun came to my pigsty that night, stayed for two nights, soon my sow delivered over twenty piglets, truly, thanks to Brother Sun!!!"
"..."
Lin Li: "(;゜○゜)?"
Where did this all come from? How did we get back to class 1-4?
But regardless, listening to the intense back-and-forth before him, at this moment, the bald middle-aged man at the barbecue stall, the image of him in Lin Li’s mind instantly became tall and majestic.
This Brother Sun’s power is truly terrifying!
Lin Li was somewhat wondering if his name might actually be Laugh Chuan.
Aladdin’s Magic Lamp: Three wishes.
Brother Sun: Just tell me.
Tsk, such a vivid image.
"Brother Du, please push Heaven’s WeChat to me, I will apply for friendship with the most sincere attitude after a three-day bath and fast."
Lin Li looked at the chuckling Du Zhuo beside him and said sincerely.
Du Zhuo: "?"
Who’s Heaven?
"Don’t mind this group of people who love watching the excitement,"
Brother Sun wiped the sweat off his forehead, it’s unclear if it steamed out from the barbecue heat or influenced by this group of old customers, somewhat helplessly complained to Lin Li:
"They’re just talking nonsense here.
Each has this silly personality, me, I’m just someone who knows a few more people.
Big matters, I certainly can’t play a decisive role, but small things I can indeed help with, young man, if you have things you don’t know how to handle, you’re welcome to ask me, if it isn’t troublesome, I won’t charge, just consider it making good karma."
"Usually my customers are this group, my karma is like singing ’If you’re happy and you know it’ in front of an armless disabled person ~ clap! clap!~, it depletes faster than anyone else, sigh, it’s vexing."
Lin Li: "O.o?"
I have a feeling, Brother Heaven, your karma might not be deducted rapidly just because "usually my customers are this group."
However, after this commotion, Lin Li and the many strangers, young and middle-aged, in the shop felt less distant, plus most of them seemed to know Du Zhuo, so they began talking more casually.
Compared to Du Zhuo who seemed relatively honest, this group appeared more interesting and enthusiastic.
In their eyes, Lin Li and Du Zhuo also contrasted similarly.
So upon learning that Du Zhuo would be driving later and couldn’t drink, the group set their sights on Lin Li.
"Come on, Lin Li, have a drink, have a drink."
"Uncle, are you drunk?" Faced with the enthusiasm of other old customers in the shop, Lin Li looked conflicted.
