The noodle shop didn't have any new customers until after 1:30 PM.
Mr. Liu waited at the door for two minutes, looked around to see no one else, and then flipped the "Open for Business" sign on the glass door to "Resting".
"Okay, now we brothers can have a good chat."
He turned around to Chen Tian, who had been holding back a flood of words and pulled over a stool to sit down beside him.
But as soon as Chen Tian sat down, he was at a loss for where to start.
The two men looked at each other in silence, their eyes filled with concern.
Meanwhile, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue sat around another table that Mrs. Bai had temporarily set with a plate of dried fruits, including seeds and nuts.
Everyone had a handful of seeds, cracking them open while watching, the very image of an audience eating popcorn.
"Mrs. Bai, how come you never told me about how impressive Mr. Liu used to be?"
Lin Xinyue asked, standing beside Mrs. Bai.
