Almighty Genius

Chapter 1698 - 1356: Night Market!

There aren't many people, just Kong Er, Qu Da, plus Qin Fang and Song Qingshan, making a total of four. As for the few rich young men from Hong Kong Island who came with Kong Er, they found somewhere else to go.First, they felt their relationship with Qin Fang wasn't that close, and second, their status was a bit lower compared to Kong Er and Qu Da, so with them, they couldn't really let loose.

Besides, Qin Fang and his friends were originally just meeting up to catch up, and if they joined in, they would definitely be unwelcome, which they were self-aware of.

As for Chu Yunxuan and Helen, they wanted to join in too, but considering it was already late, and not knowing how late the four guys would stay out, they decided not to join since lack of sleep is a woman's enemy. So, they didn't tag along.

In the end, it was just the four of them heading out, and to keep things simple, they only took one car. After all, Kong Er wasn't from inland, and they were borrowing cars from Xu Yuanshan here, which was a bit of a hassle, so they decided to keep it simple.

"Second Brother, I called up a little brother, this kid is the local serpent of Jiangzhou, he knows exactly where to have fun..."

However, even though the four of them were old friends catching up, none of them were familiar with Jiangzhou, including Qin Fang. So, he gave a call to Wu Jian, dragging him out from some woman's bed to guide them around.

Of course, there was also another purpose, which was to let Wu Jian connect with Kong Er and the others.

Kong Er and the others would be staying inland for some time, mainly in Jiangzhou and nearby. Qin Fang would soon be heading to Japan, and Song Qingshan would be leaving with him. Naturally, Kong Er and Qu Da needed someone familiar to help out, and Wu Jian was an excellent choice.

Wu Jian was the son of Wu Ling and had considerable influence in Jiangzhou. The Wu Family also had significant power in the surrounding Jiangnan and Huxi provinces, where Kong Er and the others would mostly be moving around. Having Wu Jian's help would make things a lot easier.

Of course, if Kong Er and the others went to Jiangnan, it would be even easier, as Qin Fang could ask Tang Cheng to look after them, especially in Ninghai, which was Qin Fang's base of operations, ensuring absolute safety and comfort...

Wu Jian was quite reliable. As soon as Qin Fang called for him, he immediately left the beauty's embrace and rushed over.

After meeting Kong Er and Qu Da, he started calling them "Second Brother" and "Brother Qu," as if they were long-lost friends, which genuinely pleased Kong Er and Qu Da, making them quickly become a tight-knit group.

"Stop talking nonsense, you're the local serpent of Jiangzhou, you decide where to go..."

Qin Fang knocked on Wu Jian's head with a playful scolding.

"Haven't you guys eaten enough? How about I take you to grab some more food?" Fınd the newest release on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

Wu Jian didn't mind, chuckling as he glanced at their outfits. He seemed to understand what they were up to tonight, then asked with a smile.

"Alright, find us a place..."

Qin Fang looked at Kong Er and Qu Da, seeing no objections from them, he agreed.

At these cocktail parties, perhaps it's because they see themselves as high-class people, but even with the food laid out, hardly anyone dives in to feast on it.

So, the result of attending such a party is... you might have had some drinks, but the food barely enters your mouth, making it hard to even fill your stomach.

Wu Jian's suggestion hit their empty stomachs right on the mark, so naturally, they didn't refuse.

"Hey, how about barbecue... I know a place that's pretty authentic, the taste will definitely satisfy you all, and... there are beauties to see too!"

Wu Jian's eyes turned as he thought it over, then quickly chuckled, clearly having some confidence in his suggestion.

"You kid..."

Upon hearing Wu Jian's proposal, the four of them chuckled, not really paying much mind. They just wanted to grab a bite to eat, to fill their stomachs. As for the beauties... if they wanted to go girl-hunting, there were plenty of places for that.

"Alright, we'll follow your lead then..."

Despite the jesting, Qin Fang and the others didn't really have any objections, turning the four into five. Splitting into two cars, with Wu Jian leading the way, they headed to the place he recommended.

The roads in Jiangzhou were notoriously congested, and even at night, there wasn't much improvement, leaving Qin Fang and the others frustrated. But finally, they made it through and arrived at their destination half an hour later.

On arriving, they realized they had another ten minutes walk after parking, because the barbecue place Wu Jian mentioned was in a narrow alley which their cars couldn't enter, so they had to park far outside.

"This place is indeed a bit out of the way, but the taste is genuinely authentic... I only found out about it when a friend once brought me here, and gradually I became a regular!"

Wu Jian led the way, providing a simple explanation, as it was hard to imagine someone of his standing coming to such a place to eat.

Although this alley was narrow and somewhat hidden, both sides of it were lined with various snack shops that seemed to be doing well, bustling even more than your average night market...

"It's right here..."

Soon, Qin Fang and his group arrived at a shop's entrance. There wasn't a noticeable sign, not even a name, just a small wooden board with "Barbecue" written on it, looking quite ordinary, with no distinct specialty.

At the entrance was a very common barbecue grill, with various fresh-looking ingredients laid out nearby, and a middle-aged man in his forties busy cooking, his movements so skilled that even Qin Fang was amazed.

Stepping inside the barbecue shop, they found that although it appeared somewhat grimy outside, it was very clean inside, already packed with customers. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, pretty and delicate, was moving busily about, taking orders, serving food, and handling payments, barely having a moment to rest.

"Bingbing Beauty, get us a table..."

Wu Jian unabashedly waved to the girl and said with a grin.

"There's a table at the entrance, I'll clean it for you right away..."

The girl gave Wu Jian an exasperated look, glanced around, then pointed to a table at the entrance.

This barbecue joint was indeed doing a brisk trade, with almost all seats filled. The table at the entrance was initially covered with food supplies, which had mostly been consumed, freeing it for use.

"Alright, let's take that one..."

Wu Jian didn't stand on ceremony, nodding in agreement, and led Qin Fang and the others to sit down. But before he left, he whispered a few words in the girl's ear, which made her fair face flush bright red...

Wu Jian dashed away with a sly grin, dodging a slap she raised at him...

"Hey, have you taken a liking to that girl? Don't deny it, those shifty eyes of yours... they're practically glowing!"

After the five sat down, Qin Fang teasingly remarked to Wu Jian. Maybe others didn't hear what Wu Jian said to the girl, but Qin Fang certainly did, this rascal even ordered a few grilled bull p****s...(To be continued.
