"Indeed, I am heading over to order some dishes. Please feel free to let me know what you would like to eat, don't be polite with me. Money is not a concern for me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Cheng You Shi didn't hesitate to order. Mi Li, on the other hand, had a smaller appetite and didn't order much. Cheng You Shi, being a voracious eater, ordered a variety of beef dishes. Old Chen, watching from the side, couldn't help but suggest eating less barbecue.
To celebrate Yu Ze's future success, Cheng You Shi even brought a case of pure draft beer, ready to drink and not return sober.
"Eating more barbecue, drinking beer, they're all carcinogens. There's no hope for them, no hope. Young people nowadays have no hope," Old Chen sighed and muttered.
Mi Li felt a little strange listening to this and whispered, "Although the boss is very kind-hearted, why does he always mutter like that?"
"Don't mind him, he's just that kind of person with a good-hearted personality, that's why business in the shop has never been good," Yu Ze waved his hand and raised a glass, "Come, let's have a drink and wish for our bright futures!"
"Alright, I also wish Yu Big Brother all the best!" Cheng You Shi raised his glass and toasted.
"Idiot, it's called 'success is just around the corner', not 'smooth sailing'," Mi Li sighed, and also raised her beverage.
The three of them took a sip and casually snacked on peanuts, waiting for the appetizers to arrive.
"Yu Big Brother, you haven't said yet, what special talent are you going to perform?"
"Paranormal abilities."
"Oh, paranormal... paranormal what?"
Cheng You Shi almost choked on a peanut.
"Paranormal abilities."
Yu Ze casually replied, as if he were answering a question like "What did you have for lunch today? Oh, I had diarrhea and didn't eat."
Cheng You Shi's mind quickly raced, searching for the meaning of the ancient term "paranormal abilities" in his mind. It seemed familiar to him, and he cautiously asked, "Paranormal abilities? You mean, like, superpowers?"
"Superpowers?"
Mi Li, who still couldn't quite grasp the concept of paranormal abilities, was startled.
"Yes, precisely. Extraordinary, abnormal abilities. That's what paranormal abilities are!"
Yu Ze nodded.
Cheng You Shi was a bit confused, a bit puzzled. He put down the peanuts in his hand, shook his head, and looked at the tray of barbecue that the boss had just brought over, feeling a bit bewildered. "Yu Big Brother, you have superpowers?"
"Don't believe it?"
"No, it's not that I don't believe it, it's just... it's a bit too much."
Facing Yu Ze's gaze, Cheng You Shi felt a bit embarrassed.
"Normally, there are no paranormal abilities in this world. Anyone who claims to have paranormal abilities is a fraud. I'm just an exception."
Yu Ze patiently explained, "So, just wait and see. I've already finished recording the first episode of the talent show, and the results will be revealed on Sunday night."
"Oh, I see."
Although Cheng You Shi still had doubts, he could only suppress his curiosity for now, waiting eagerly to see what would happen on Sunday night.
As the three of them were eating and drinking, a sudden commotion broke out outside. They turned their heads and saw a large crowd gathering outside, looking up at the sky.
"What's happening?"
Cheng You Shi was puzzled.
"Somebody is threatening to jump off a building."
Old Chen went out to take a look and couldn't help but shout.
"Jump off a building?"
Cheng You Shi and Mi Li were startled. They never expected to encounter someone threatening to jump off a building while enjoying a barbecue here.
"Jump off a building? Let's go, let's go outside and have a look."
Yu Ze couldn't wait. He put down his chopsticks and led the other two out of the restaurant to join the crowd. When they looked up, they saw a young woman on the sixth floor of the old building flipping out of the window and standing on the protruding exterior wall, seemingly ready to leap.
"Wow, why would she want to jump off the building?"
Cheng You Shi was seeing someone threatening to jump for the first time, and just a glance made his heart race.
Mi Li was also nervous, unable to help but grab onto Yu Ze's muscular arm.
This old residential area was already crowded with people. As soon as they heard that someone was threatening to jump off a building, a large crowd quickly gathered, engaging in gossip and speculations.
"Could it be a relationship dispute?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because of debts that couldn't be paid back."
The crowd was abuzz with various speculations.
"Has anyone called the police?"
"The police were called a while ago. They should be arriving soon."
No sooner said than done, several police officers from the local police station, accompanied by property management personnel, hurriedly arrived. After identifying the specific floor and unit, they rushed into the neighborhood.
But things were not that simple. The doors of the other apartments were locked. Should they wait for the firefighters to come and open them?
"Ah, ah..."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed. The woman on the sixth floor had actually let go of one hand, leaving the other hand hanging, a perilous situation that sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"How terrifying."
Mi Li didn't want to watch anymore. She didn't want to witness someone jumping directly. It would lead to a month of nightmares for her, and she would suffer from insomnia in the following month.
"Yu Big Brother, what should we do?"
Cheng You Shi nervously watched and instinctively grabbed Yu Ze's arm beside him.
"You're asking me what to do... You're all ordinary people, unable to do anything. In this situation, we can only set aside the desire to help others, respect others' fate, and protect our own safety. So, it's up to me to take action."
Cheng You Shi and Mi Li looked at Yu Ze in confusion as he took off his T-shirt, revealing his astonishingly perfect muscles. He threw the shirt to Cheng You Shi, without waiting for their reaction. Right in front of the hundreds of onlookers, Yu Ze swiftly sprinted towards the gas pipe next to the building, climbing up in a blink of an eye with agile movements and a graceful posture. Most of the spectators hadn't even blinked and he had already reached the sixth floor.
"Hey, that person... Hey, why did... why did..."
An old man fanned himself with a handheld fan, enjoying the cool breeze and watching the commotion. For a moment, his mind was still unclear. Why did someone suddenly appear beneath the sixth floor?
The woman who was about to commit suicide was also confused. She looked at Yu Ze, who had climbed up the corner of the wall, opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted.
"Shut up. You have your reasons to end your life, and I have my reasons to save you. You do your thing, I'll do mine. Let's not interfere with each other."
Yu Ze spoke firmly.
"Huh?"
For a moment, the woman couldn't find the right words to describe the scene and the conversation before her. Her brain seemed to freeze for a second.
"Bang!"
The burglar-proof door was kicked open.
The sound of the door being broken was hard to ignore. The woman's face changed, and just as she was about to let go of her only hand maintaining balance, Yu Ze leaped in the air. The crowd below collectively gasped.
