Chapter 152: Setting Up a Stall Together

Meanwhile, at the Lu Corporation headquarters, Zhang Chuan walked in holding a tablet and smiled as he said to Lu Beiqin, "President Lu, Eldest Miss Shen went to teach the Shen family a lesson at noon today. She slipped laxatives into their tea, which ended up turning the entire Shen family against each other. When they were discovered, everyone was bruised and battered, looking ready to tear each other apart!"

At the mere thought of the young woman's expression back then, the corners of Lu Beiqin's lips curled into a smile. "She is not someone who will swallow a grievance."

Whoever wronged her, Shen Chutang would definitely pay them back in kind.

Yet, her methods were measured and well-timed; she would not push anyone to absolute ruin just because of a single mistake.

She was an upright and adorable girl.

Observing the smile on Lu Beiqin's face, Zhang Chuan could tell that President Lu was deeply fond of the Eldest Miss.

"President Lu, you have a business dinner scheduled for tonight. How about I book it at the New Dynasty Hotel?"

Lu Beiqin picked up his suit jacket and walked toward the door. "Have the vice president go. I have other plans tonight."

Zhang Chuan looked down at his schedule in confusion. Wasn't there only one business dinner on the agenda tonight? Where else did he need to be?

Seemingly noticing Zhang Chuan's doubts, Lu Beiqin explained in high spirits, "Tangtang wants to try setting up a night market stall, and I'm going to help her."

Zhang Chuan stared at Lu Beiqin in disbelief. A night market? Selling things from a stall?

"But President Lu, with your status, you're going to set up a street stall?"

He was a man who made tens of millions a minute, and now he was actually going to run a night market stand?

Truly, once a person gets married, their entire mindset changes!

By the time Lu Beiqin returned home and pushed open the door, he was greeted by a delightful aroma. Shen Chutang trotted over eagerly. "You're back! Come and taste this—tell me if it's delicious!"

Seeing the small piece of tiramisu in Shen Chutang's hand, Lu Beiqin—though not a fan of sweets—bowed his head and took a bite to satisfy the anticipation shining in the girl's eyes. "Delicious."

"Right? I think so too!"

Shen Chutang proudly continued to showcase her creations. "I made strawberry and mango-flavored tiramisu. Over here are the corn and pork floss sandwiches and cheese and ham sandwiches I made, and right here are the lemon phoenix claws and braised duck feet. Finally, I prepared lemonade, and everything is already packed. The lemonade is sitting on ice to keep it chilled."

Lu Beiqin hadn't expected Shen Chutang to make so many things in a single afternoon. Furthermore, they were all already packaged and ready to be taken straight to the street to sell without wasting any extra time—all they had to do was sit and wait for customers.

"You've worked hard. I can help out from now on."

Shen Chutang brushed it off casually. "With this little amount of stuff, I can handle it all by myself. I just don't know if we'll be able to sell it all. I only prepared eight portions each of the tiramisu and sandwiches, ten portions of the phoenix claws and duck feet, and a bit more lemonade—I made twenty cups. I originally wanted to make more, but I was worried it wouldn't sell out."

Lu Beiqin reassured her with certainty, "With a taste this good, there won't be any problem."

Shen Chutang nodded. "If we can't sell it all, we'll just bring it back and eat it ourselves!"

Thinking it over, Lu Beiqin instructed Zhang Chuan to remain on standby for the evening.

After having dinner together and changing their clothes, Shen Chutang and Lu Beiqin set off with high spirits toward the designated spot for their stall.

Shen Chutang said, "I did some research. The pedestrian traffic on this street is heavy, so we can set up right here."

Lu Beiqin glanced around. There were indeed other people setting up stalls nearby, selling a wide variety of items such as pan-fried buns and skewers.

After parking the car, Shen Chutang took everything out of the trunk and arranged the food one by one on the small stall table. Following the examples she saw online, she hung up a banner bearing the store's name: [Couple's Food Stall].

Lu Beiqin paused for a fleeting second, lowering his head as he pretended to move the supplies. "How did you end up choosing a name like that?"

"I originally wanted to call it Hot Babe's Food Stall, but I was afraid people might say it sent the wrong message, so I changed it to this instead. Not bad, right?"

Shen Chutang looked at Lu Beiqin triumphantly, her round eyes wide as if fishing for compliments.

Lu Beiqin gave a light cough. "It's not bad at all."

Once the small banner was propped up, Shen Chutang strung up some twinkling fairy lights, which looked quite charming. Next to the table sat a small chalkboard displaying the prices, with the QR code for payments placed right at the top.

With all that done, Shen Chutang pulled out two folding chairs. "According to the guide I read, business might not be very good at first, so we can just sit and wait."

However, these small folding chairs were a bit of a torment for someone of Lu Beiqin's height and long legs. His long limbs had nowhere to go, and curling them up looked exhausting.

Choosing not to sit, Lu Beiqin simply stood.

Because they were running a street stall, he hadn't dressed formally. Instead, he wore a simple black short-sleeved lightweight shirt paired with casual trousers. Yet, owing to his exceptional proportions, his mere presence here somehow transformed the mobile street cart into a high-end runway, quickly drawing people over.

Passersby stole covert glances while casually making purchases.

Some even wanted to get Lu Beiqin's contact information, but with a commanding gesture, he simply pointed to the store name on the banner. Without even needing to speak, he shut down their advances entirely.

An hour later, over half of the goods had already been sold. Shen Chutang began counting her earnings happily. "I never expected our business to be this good!"

Seeing Shen Chutang so happy, Lu Beiqin felt his own mood lift considerably.

Suddenly, someone shouted out, "City management is coming!"
