Chapter 103: The Beauty's Plan

  Cui Xiaoyan's outfit, which never changes, gave Li Xiaoteng a misconception that Cui Xiaoyan was wearing inferior clothes when she went out to work. It seemed as if she was afraid of getting her good clothes dirty! However, recently Li Xiaoteng discovered that every time he saw Cui Xiaoyan, although the clothes were always the same...

  But every time Li Xiaoteng saw her, Cui Xiaoyan's clothes were always spotless. Even if the clothes got dirty, Cui Xiaoyan would clean them up and appear in front of Li Xiaoteng again the next day, looking neat and tidy.

  Xue Feng's blue shirt was puffed up with a pair of bulges, giving people a feeling of hot blood boiling all the time. Black trousers were paired with a pair of small high-heeled shoes. Li Xiaoteng's mood was flustered and tense. But when he saw Cui Xiaoyan, his mood suddenly calmed down a lot.

  Li Xiaoteng calmed down a bit. He asked faintly, "Yanzi, do you have something to talk to me about?" Cui Xiaoyan nodded, her eyes reddening as she asked, "Can I talk to you?"

  Li Xiaoteng pulled out a cigarette and took a deep drag. Forcing himself to calm down, he nodded and said: "Of course! What do you want to talk about?"

  Cui Xiaoyan didn't even look back, turned around and walked towards the empty place. Li Xiaoteng got up and hurriedly chased after her. All he heard was Cui Xiaoyan saying with a sour tone: "Li boss is really something!" Li Xiaoteng asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you talking about me like that?" Cui Xiaoyan said helplessly: "First, it was the spicy hot pot to attract customers, then the cold dishes, and after bringing out the roasted fish. In less than two days, you've used lamb skewers to reverse the nerves of everyone in the night market! I don't know what other amazing skills Li boss has? Also, please let sister me in on it, so I can be mentally prepared!"

  Li Xiaoteng didn't know if he was being obtuse or deliberately filtering it out. It seemed like he just hadn't picked up on the barb in Cui Xiaoyan's words. Li Xiaoteng said harmlessly, "I'm also thinking of doing something! Haven't you seen me make some tortoise jelly? I'll take advantage of the timing. Maybe I'll even come out with some braised fish fins."

  Cui Xiaoyan said disdainfully, "Oh my! Still talking about shark fin soup! Boss Li isn't afraid of losing money!" Li Xiaoteng chuckled and said, "I didn't say we'd use real shark fin!" Cui Xiaoyan gave him a strange look. Then Li Xiaoteng said, "We'll make it with vermicelli instead. The taste is not bad either. I'll let you try some when it's done!"

  Cui Xiaoyan's eyes turned red as she shouted: "Don't you know why I'm looking for you? Do you think this is funny?"

  This shout suddenly attracted the attention of countless people. Kong Zhen looked at Zhao Baozi's eyes, which were somewhat strange, filled with excitement and fanatical worship, as if a pair of yin-yang fish forming an eight trigram diagram was rapidly rotating in his pupils. Kong Zhen was puzzled, but he wasn't very familiar with Zhao Baozi, so he didn't dare ask.

  If Kong Zhen knew, Cui Xiaoyan was Zhao Baozi's goddess in his heart. It seems that it wouldn't be so strange then. Only Biao Ge seemed to still be enjoying the fun brought by football, still immersed in the joy of victory.

  Li Xiaoteng said in a low voice, "Big sister, what are you doing now? We don't play with people like that!" Cui Xiaoyan's unhappy loud voice replied, "Play with people? I've been played by you, why aren't you speaking?" Li Xiaoteng looked at Cui Xiaoyan's towering anger in confusion. Li Xiaoteng thought to himself: Did he really forget? Did he push down Cui Xiaoyan and then forget about it? But these past few days, he had been busy running around, where did he have the time to push down Cui Xiaoyan?!

  Li Xiaoteng's face turned bright red. He stuttered and said, "Yan Jie, let's not joke around! I've never even held your hand. How could I have played with you!" The last three words, Li Xiaoteng enunciated very clearly. Cui Xiaoyan's eyes were not only red, but her face suddenly turned as red as a red apple.

  Cui Xiaoyan lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Xiao Teng, others may not know, but I do. You're not short of money! Many people who rely on selling spicy hot pot to make a living have already been squeezed out by you. Now you're also doing lamb skewers, don't you know how many stalls this will squeeze out? Do you really want to push others to the end of the road?"

  As soon as Cui Xiaoyan finished speaking, Li Xiaoteng naturally understood what she meant. Originally, Li Xiaoteng's mood was already entangled because of this match that deviated from history, and now Cui Xiaoyan came to play the trick of a beauty on him!

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly became angry and said, "It's obviously their skewers that are no good. The things they sell are no good. Those unscrupulous businessmen have no bottom line at all. The Chinese people have never been as concerned about food safety issues as they are now. Now I use good meat and good seasonings to make delicious lamb skewers, but it's affecting their profits! They might as well just quit!"

  Cui Xiaoyan was left speechless by Li Xiaoteng's few words. Suddenly, she didn't have a single word to say. Her eyes were red as she nodded at Li Xiaoteng and turned around in anger without saying a word, leaving immediately.

  Watching Cui Xiaoyan's back getting farther and farther away, Li Xiaoteng suddenly recalled the situation last night. He thought of Cui Xiaoyan standing in front of him yesterday, her eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness, and a sharp pain suddenly pierced his heart...

  Cui Xiaoyan's words echoed in her ears again: Now you're making lamb skewers, aren't you aware that you've ruined the livelihoods of many people who sell kebabs? Do you have to push others to their deaths?

  Li Xiaoteng sighed. He thought helplessly in his heart: "Now what I'm doing doesn't even involve eating, why is it that roasting a lamb skewer would be more hated than the nuclear test on the peninsula?"

  Li Xiaoteng was thinking about Cui Xiaoyan's affairs, when he heard Yang Biao's excited loud shout: "Teng Ge, come and see quickly! The second half has started!"

  Li Xiaoteng hastily turned his head to look at the big screen, and suddenly discovered the score that was displayed after the opening. Real Madrid was trailing Barcelona 0-2. Li Xiaoteng instantly felt as if he had been punched in the chest by a pumpkin. His eyes went dark. There was a faint bloody taste in his throat...

  Yang Biao randomly grabbed a bottle of beer and loudly shouted: "Bar?a! Bar?a! One day in Barcelona, lifelong red and blue soul!" Li Xiaoteng looked at Yang Biao, saying nothing. He just felt even more depressed in his heart!

  The Bernabeu is silent. Most of the Real Madrid fans have disappeared. Only a small number of die-hard Real Madrid fans are still beating the drums and waving their flags, shouting loudly. But compared to the shouts of the Barcelona fans, it's like a helpless reed swaying in the wind. The shouts were drowned out by the waves of sound from the Barcelona fans!

  The camera focuses on Beckham. Only to see the small Bei wearing a No. 23 jersey. He shouted loudly at Carlos, who was holding the ball. Carlos started a high ball from the left. This foot fell right in front of Beckham, and this pass was just right. Beckham felt very comfortable. Accelerated one step forward. The ball fell right under his feet.

  Van Bronckhorst rushed up like a bulldozer from the side. Beckham is indeed not as good as the few war wolves around him in terms of passing people, but in terms of controlling the rhythm on the field and ball control, he has an unattainable height for ordinary people.

  Beckham didn't entangle himself, instead he made a long pass with the free kick. The ball fell directly to Ronaldo's feet on the right flank. Like an alien, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated quickly, carrying the ball horizontally and killing it near the penalty area line. A right-footed cross sent the ball to the far post.

  Valdes shouted loudly as soon as Ronaldo was about to kick off: "Defend! Mark the man! Pay attention to marking!" As soon as the words fell, Valdes felt that he saw a figure slipping out of the corner of his eye. Barca's back line can't be said to be solid as gold, but in La Liga it's also considered iron-clad.

  But it was this figure, in the zero-point few seconds of an instant. He saw through Barca's back defense and found a thread of gap, under no one's guard, from the left corner of the small penalty area, he rushed to the top with his head down. Just right, just right, just right, he headed the ball!

  Baldes saw the ball being headed up and saw a Mediterranean head. Baldes cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Zidane!"

  Seeing is not necessarily defending, after all, human speed is limited. In an instant, the ball flew like a cannonball and quickly passed over Baldes' head.

  The fans who were still in a daze just now have been activated by a goal! The drums are beating more and more vigorously.

  The commentator shouted hoarsely: "Goal! Real Madrid have pulled one back! One more goal and they'll be level!"

  Beckham saw Zidane lying by the goal, and didn't get up to celebrate. He took two strange steps forward. Then he saw Baldes squatting down, staring at Zidane.

  Beckham and others rushed forward, anxiously asking Chi Zhida loudly: "Are you okay?!" Only to hear Baldes say: "Just now he headed the ball and his head directly hit the door frame!"

  At this time, the big screen of TV broadcast is replaying Zidane's injury again and again.

  Yang Biao was no longer crazy. He calmly picked up a pair of chopsticks and clamped down on some oil-splashed vegetables, then gulped down two mouthfuls of Coke. Muttering indignantly, he said: "Why didn't they get themselves killed, what a damn lunatic!"

  Li Xiaoteng chuckled twice, and the tightly knotted heart seemed to relax a little.

  On the field, another kickoff in midfield. Only to hear Raúl's loud shout: "Counterattack! Counterattack!" In an instant, the Silver River Battleship and the Red and Blue Legion clashed again.

  Old William, sitting in the VIP box of Bernau, took a light sip of Lafite and said excitedly to Thomas with a smile: "I really didn't expect that this game could be so wonderful!"

  Thomas hastily nodded humbly, not having spoken yet. Suddenly saw Ronaldo being knocked down directly on the right side of the front court! Instantly brought countless boos from Real Madrid fans.

  Beckham rushed forward to pull up Ronaldo, patted his shoulder lightly and seemed to say something to him. Ronaldo glanced at Oleg who had just knocked him down, ran towards the goal with a cold face.

  Dominguez rushed to where Ronaldo had fallen earlier and pointed, making a gesture for a free kick.
