I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 89 A decisive strike is necessary! (3K, supplement)

This is a small restaurant called "Xiangye Renjia".

The decoration is quite stylish, bright, clean and tidy overall, and the kitchen is also semi-open.

"You can have some."

After they were seated, Chen Jingyue pushed the menu toward Li Shiming.

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

After asking Chen Jingle for his opinion, Li Shiming ordered three dishes, and Chen Jingle added two more dishes and two bottles of drinks.

He glanced at the table next to him and realized that the portions at this restaurant were indeed small, but fortunately the prices on the menu weren't too expensive either; it seemed like they were selling portions in half-portions.

This is also a way out for the current catering industry.

The competition is too fierce right now, and too many people are entering this industry. Without something unique, it's really hard to attract and retain customers.

Previously, when I talked with Chen Wenjie and Li Guangming about how to change the night market stalls, I thought about selling half portions and taking the low-profit, high-volume route.

Judging from the occupancy rate of the store, it's clear that the effect is there.

Then his gaze fell on Li Shiming.

Chen Jingle thought that she always took other people's opinions into full consideration when ordering food, even though she had the initiative.

That's really good.

Don't think it's nothing; in fact, very few people can do this.

Nowadays, many people go out to eat with others and act very arrogantly, as if they are waiting for the other party to offer them sacrifices. After eating the offerings, they will say that the food is not good, or even tell you directly that you have visited the wrong grave.

When I occasionally run into a normal person, I feel surprisingly flattered.

Sometimes I really don't know if I'm different or if the world is abnormal.

……

The restaurant served the food quite quickly.

Li Shiming enthusiastically recommended: "Try this. I think this Grandma's stir-fried eggs with chili peppers is the best with rice."

"Good~"

Chen Jingle wasn't picky about food. He could enjoy even the simplest dishes he made himself. When he was extremely hungry, he would eat dry rations. Not to mention the food served at small restaurants outside.

Li Shiming, on the other hand, spoke with great familiarity and enthusiasm about the advantages and disadvantages of each dish.

When it comes to food, she seems to have endless things to say.

Chen Jingle couldn't help but laugh: "It's a shame you're not a food blogger."

While happy, Li Shiming was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I do update various food review guides online, but most of the time it's in the form of text and pictures. I personally don't like to appear on camera."

"Do you need me to follow you? +1 follower!" Chen Jingle asked with a smile.

"do not want!"

Li Shiming quickly shook her head, refusing without even thinking, feeling ashamed if acquaintances found out.

"Ok."

Chen Jingle chuckled, not forcing anyone; everyone has a side of themselves that they don't reveal to the public.

Hunan cuisine is still a bit spicy for him, so he has to drink a beverage from time to time to cool down.

Sitting opposite him, Li Shiming was also making hissing noises from the spiciness. Even though the restaurant had air conditioning, her face was still flushed and a little sweat was seeping from her nose, but that didn't stop her from eating happily.

For some reason, they give the impression of being very easy to raise.

Chen Jingle chuckled and secretly shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Li Shiming asked, as if sensing something.

"No."

Chen Jingle certainly couldn't tell the truth, so he asked instead, "Would you like some more drinks?"

We've almost finished the two bottles we ordered, but we've only eaten half of the food.

"Okay."

Li Shiming thought about it and did not refuse.

It is indeed a bit spicy.

When she couldn't eat anymore, she put down her chopsticks and watched as Chen Jingle devoured the remaining dishes in a flash.

Only after Chen Jingle put down his chopsticks did she come to her senses, her expression one of amazement.

This guy can really eat!

He doesn't look particularly strong, but he has an enormous appetite, and his calm and collected demeanor gives the impression that he's completely at ease.

It makes you wonder if his stomach came from a spatial bag.

It was another enjoyable meal for both host and guests; for a street-side eatery, the overall taste was quite good.

If Chen Jingle were to choose, he would consider coming again if given the opportunity in the future.

……

However, as the two finished paying the bill and walked out of the store with smiles, preparing to leave, Chen Jingle suddenly made a move and pulled Li Shiming towards him.

The incident happened so suddenly that Li Shiming hadn't even realized what was going on yet. Her mind was in a daze when, in the next second, a half-finished cup of milk tea fell from the sky and landed heavily on the spot where she had just been standing.

Snapped!
The milk tea cup shattered, spilling liquid everywhere and injuring several passersby who happened to be walking by.

Everyone exclaimed.

Li Shiming was stunned. When she came to her senses, a chill ran through her.

The next second, another passerby was hit on the head by a large plastic clothes hanger that fell from the sky, and cried out in pain.

Now everyone finally understood what was going on and quickly moved away.

Throwing objects from high-rise buildings is no joke. No matter what is thrown, even if it doesn't hit anyone, as long as it causes public disorder, it meets the standards for criminal sentencing.

Besides, someone has been hit by the falling object.

We must strike hard!

Chen Jingle moved quickly, looked up coldly, and saw a woman who had been on the balcony of a high-rise building talking on her cell phone, looking down.

The other person met Chen Jingle's cold gaze and felt a chill run down their spine. When they saw so many people looking up from downstairs, hurling insults, they immediately realized they had made a huge mistake and hurriedly hid inside.

"How can this person be so rude?" Li Shiming was very angry; she had almost been hit by the object.

Another unlucky passerby was still clutching his forehead, his facial muscles twitching from the pain.

"It's definitely her! The one on the 15th floor facing the street!"

Chen Jingle said calmly.

Passersby also began to curse angrily, attracting the attention of people in the store and the surrounding area.

"Should we call the police?" Chen Jingle asked Li Shiming.

"Of course!"

Li Shiming was very angry, and the consequences were serious: "I'm going to make a phone call to a friend."

"Okay." Chen Jingle didn't want to let the other party off easily either.

Despite daily public warnings about the dangers of objects being thrown from high-rise buildings, and frequent news reports of pedestrians being injured or killed by falling objects, some people still just can't resist the urge to throw things.

Since they can't learn how to be a decent human being, let the law and the judgments teach them!
Li Shiming dialed the phone: "Yinyin? Are you on duty today?... Here's the thing, I went out to eat with a friend, and I almost got hit by something thrown from a high-rise building. There was also a passerby who got hit on the head by a clothes hanger. Can this kind of situation be filed as a case? Okay, we're on Jianshe Road..."

Chen Jingle listened intently from the side.

After finishing the call, Li Shiming said to Chen Jingle, "My friend is coming right away."

"Who is your friend...?"

"Yes, she graduated from the Guangzhou Police Academy and then returned to Jiangbei after graduation. She happens to be in charge of this area."

"That's good."

Chen Jingle nodded slightly.

Well, some law enforcement officers at the grassroots level like to smooth things over and will try to get you to settle a dispute so that no case will be filed.

In this situation, it would be best to enforce the law impartially.

"Thank you!"

Li Shiming finally calmed down a bit and said to Chen Jingle.

If Chen Jingle hadn't reacted quickly enough to pull her aside, she probably would have been hit, not just splashed with milk tea.

However, she was curious as to why Chen Jingle reacted so quickly.
Did you just happen to look up and notice?
For a moment I didn't know whether to say I was lucky or what, but I was just glad.

Chen Jingle shook his head: "It's good that no one was hurt."

He sensed danger and reacted instinctively; most people wouldn't have had time to avoid it.

……

Soon, Comrade Hat arrived.

There were two men and one woman. The woman was Li Shiming's friend named Yinyin. She was about 1.6 meters tall and, although not particularly beautiful, gave off a very friendly vibe.

Although Huang Yin was very curious about the relationship between Li Shiming and Chen Jingle, now was clearly not the time for gossip.

After understanding what happened and verifying the situation with helpful passersby, the three comrades decided to go upstairs to inquire further.

The other party tried to argue, but with witnesses and physical evidence, they couldn't withstand scrutiny and their secrets were revealed in just a few words.

Of course, this kind of person will not obediently admit their guilt. After pleading and begging for forgiveness, when the method fails, they throw a tantrum and almost scratch a male comrade before being forcibly put on a silver bracelet and taken away.

Such behavior—repeatedly throwing objects, injuring others, and endangering public transportation safety—has reached the standard for criminal punishment. The perpetrator will face criminal charges and a sewing machine.

It's not just about detention.

The onlookers applauded as they watched the other person being led into the car.

Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling lingering fear: "Luckily it happened after we finished eating, otherwise such a delay would have..."

Unfortunately, my day, which was going so well, was completely ruined.

How abominable!
Seeing that she seemed distracted, Chen Jingle pointed to the milk tea shop next door and said, "Why don't you sit down for a while?"

Li Shiming thought for two seconds and nodded: "Okay."

Chen Jingle ordered two cups of milk tea.

However, since they had just eaten and drunk their fill, neither of them felt thirsty; they simply took a sip to calm themselves down.

For some reason, Li Shiming mustered her courage, pulled a yellow triangle from her phone case, and handed it to Chen Jingle.

“This was prayed for by my mother at the Guanyin Temple. Although I don’t know if it really works, we did manage to avoid a bloody disaster today. I thought… I’d give it to you.”

Li Shiming considered herself a fairly staunch materialist, but at this moment, she hoped that the amulet would be effective and work its magic.

"???"

Chen Jingle was stunned, then chuckled, "Your mother gave it to you, so you should keep it safe. Why are you giving it to me?"

If such a gift comes from an elder, that's fine. But if it's exchanged between peers, then there's a certain etiquette involved.

Especially between opposite sexes.

Li Shiming's ears turned red: "Isn't it thanks to your help that I avoided an accident? This kind of situation shouldn't happen again anytime soon."

Chen Jingle was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing that he didn't make a move, Li Shiming was disappointed and clutched the triangular talisman, not knowing what to do.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Chen Jingle thought for a moment, then reached out and took the amulet from Li Shiming's hand, while simultaneously taking out the one he had kept in his phone case and handing it back to her.

"this is mine."

Compared to those obtained from so-called Guanyin temples, his is the real and effective one.

Li Shiming was taken aback at first, then overjoyed, her heart pounding, and she stammered, "M-exchange?"

"If you don't want it, then forget it." Chen Jingle smiled slightly.

"No no!"

She snatched it away and quickly stuffed it into her phone case.

Strangely enough, after receiving the amulet from Chen Jingle, the feeling of unease that had been lingering suddenly disappeared.

However, Li Shiming was completely absorbed in her own fantasy at the moment, and subconsciously grinned foolishly, not noticing this.

　I'm catching up on last night's work; I fell asleep halfway through. Sorry, sorry.
