Wang Fan was really looking forward to finishing early today.
Because Director Liu had invited him and Zhuo Qianqian to visit the zoo’s nursery.
No matter the animal, at the nursery stage, they all appear exceptionally cute. So are even not afraid of humans and can be petted. Wang Fan’s hands were itching terribly, wanting to pet sothing.
But there was only a rolling pin in the car, so he had no choice but to give up.
Wang Fan had long noticed the traffic policeman uncle maintaining order from a distance, with his presence, things were running smoothly despite the large crowd.
The waves of visitors kept coming without breaking, and now it was already almost 5 PM, and the policeman hadn’t even had a bite to eat.
Seeing the dwindling stock, he purposely left a portion aside.
"That’s it for today, thank you everyone for supporting my stall these past few days. I won’t be setting up the stall tomorrow."
As soon as Wang Fan said this, there was an uproar from the crowd.
"No way, no way? I’ve been waiting for so long and suddenly there’s none left?"
"Please don’t! You can still sell a portion, right?"
"A mouth at 36.5 degrees shouldn’t be saying such cold words, Boss Wang, I suggest you take that back."
"We have so many entertaining places in Nanjing, wouldn’t it be a pity for you to leave just like that, Boss Wang?"
"Exactly, you can stroll around our Nanjing while continuing to set up your stall."
Wang Fan had seen such scenes many tis before and had so experience in dealing with them. Hearing so many people passionately ask him to stay felt really nice.
Wang Fan said: "I’m just not setting up the stall, I’m not leaving just yet. After all, I’ve only visited the zoo since arriving here. I plan to take my girlfriend on a tour these next few days. If anyone has any recomndations, you can DM on Weibo. The traffic police has been busy all day, so let’s not bother him anymore. Let’s all disperse for today."
After hearing Wang Fan’s words, everyone’s gaze turned to the police officer, who had been busy all day. His uniform was clean but his face was notably pale, obviously exhausted.
"Alright, then that’s that. But if you could, Boss Wang, I hope you would consider setting up your stall in other places around Nanjing. It was hard to finally find you near my ho but didn’t even get to taste your food. It’s really disappointing."
"Yeah, if not, going around Nanjing’s surroundings would be great too, maybe go to Hangzhou or sowhere, so we have a chance to try your food as well, right?"
Wang Fan chuckled and said: "The next stop might really be Hangzhou, if it’s set, I’ll post location details in the group and on Weibo, and you’re all welco to co taste it."
They say above there is Heaven, and below there is Suzhou and Hangzhou. Since I’m in Nanjing, there’s no reason not to visit Hangzhou, which was already in my plans.
Shen Ming watched the crowd gradually diminish and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Luckily, the zoo had a closing ti, otherwise, given today’s situation, he’d end up stuck here.
Letting out that sigh allowed the mountain of fatigue and hunger to sweep through his body, even his stomach growled a couple of tis.
Regretfully looking at the crowd scattering from Wang Fan’s stall, the reason being Boss Wang’s food had sold out.
It was hard to find it near and yet I didn’t get to buy a portion to try. Really a pity, because Boss Wang is one of my favorite not-so-famous social dia stars.
Not-so-famous doesn’t an he’s not popular. It’s just that his popularity is different from those typical influencers, and comparing the two would lower Boss Wang’s class.
Just as Shen Ming was getting on his motorcycle, he heard a crisp voice calling out: "Traffic police uncle, traffic police uncle, wait a mont."
Though he was just over thirty years old, he’d been called ’uncle’ for seven to eight years now, and was completely immune to it.
After all, uncle isn’t just a title, it’s part of the profession.
Supporting himself with his long legs, Shen Ming looked back quizzically and saw a girl as pretty as Reba running towards him, accompanied by Boss Wang.
Anyone who follows Boss Wang would know about the boss’s wife, especially since Boss Wang is famous for being a ’wife-loving maniac’ and ’sprinkler of dog food’, yet wondering what the couple wanted with him.
Zhuo Qianqian ca forward quickly to Shen Ming, handed him a box, and smiled: "Traffic police uncle, this is one box of sour plum duck leg that didn’t sell today, all made with fresh ingredients. Would you like to buy it? Then we can finish work for the day."
Shen Ming was sowhat stunned, then quickly smiled.
Anything unsold? Boss Wang is famous for selling limited quantities, always in demand, never left unsold.
This must have been purposely reserved for him.
Looking at the regular disposable food box holding the sour plum duck leg, Shen Ming felt very touched.
He was just an ordinary traffic policeman, yet they were thoughtful enough amidst their busyness.
"How much?"
Zhuo Qianqian grinned: "Original price was 25 a portion. Since this didn’t sell, we’ll give it to you cheap, 15 at cost price."
Shen Ming shook his head repeatedly: "No way! Reserving a portion for is already very appreciated. Saying it didn’t sell is just untrue, 25 is fine."
While on duty, traffic police are allowed to eat as long as the traffic within their area of responsibility remains smooth. With hardly anyone left here now, buying so food was permissible within rules.
Moreover, they said sell, not just give away, which felt respectful.
On one hand, he hadn’t reached the point where he couldn’t afford a 25-valued item, on another, their special profession is very wary of accepting gifts.
Seeing Wang Fan quietly standing, Shen Ming couldn’t help but laugh and greet: "Thank you, Boss Wang, for kindly leaving a portion."
Wang Fan was a bit embarrassed: "No worry, knowing you hadn’t eaten all day because of , I really felt quite uneasy."
Shen Ming laughed heartily: "No, it’s not because of you, Boss Wang! The truth is today too many people ca to Red Forest Zoo."
Hearing him, Wang Fan also couldn’t help but smile, that sounded right, washing his hands off the cast.
After saying his piece, Shen Ming bid farewell: "Boss Wang, since you’re in Nanjing you should explore around, we have many interesting places here. I’ll head back to my team now."
Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian waved goodbyes to Shen Ming before returning to their camper to tidy up the aftermath.
Cleaning up was no hassle since Wang Fan always tidied up while cooking. By the ti he finished, the kitchen was already clean, owing to his obsessive compulsion leaving the kitchen spotless was the only acceptable end.
Moreover, the system-prepped vehicle was never disappointing, boasting powerful self-cleaning features, the ultimate lazy person’s boon.
Once everything was tidied, Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian strolled leisurely into the zoo, ready to check on the animals still in the nursery stage.
