Chapter 78 The Savior of My Clumsy Roommate
After posting it, Shen Li was very pleased with herself.
This tactic is called "Business Solution"... It converts private invitations into platform transactions, avoiding offending anyone while still generating business for "LiliRun". A win-win situation!
Xiao Zhao replied after a while: "...You really know how to do business. [Eye roll] Okay, let me know when your service is online."
Shen Li replied with a "Okay" emoji.
I put my phone away and checked the time. It was 4:30 PM, still a while before dinner. I took out the "Flash Delivery Campus" app to see if there were any lucrative orders.
A new order popped up:
"For 'Chuan'er Ye's' BBQ near the South Gate of University Town, I'm offering to queue and get a number for you. The fee is 35 yuan! Note: It's Friday today, the queue is super long! Hurry if you can queue for me!!! Contact me when you arrive, I'll send you the menu, and you can order for me while you're at it! [Heart][Heart][Heart]"
Three hearts. 35 yuan. Queuing and ordering service.
Shen Li's eyes lit up... This job is easy! Just stand there, swipe your phone, and you'll get paid, plus you can grab a bite to eat.
He grabbed it instantly and ran towards the south gate.
Shen Li knew about the restaurant "Chuan'er Ye". It was a newly opened restaurant in the university town, decorated in an industrial ruin style... exposed red brick walls, iron tables, lamp stands made of water pipes, and the walls were covered with Hong Kong movie posters from the 1990s.
The signature dishes are "Soul Roasted Chicken Frame" and "Secret Recipe Roasted Pig Trotters". It is said that the owner is a guy from Northeast China with a fiery temper, but his cooking skills are superb. There are queues every day for the two months since the store opened.
When Shen Li arrived, a large group of people were already squatting at the entrance. They were fully equipped with folding stools, milk tea cups, and power banks, just like they were camping.
He quickly joined the end of the line, took out his phone, and texted the customer who placed the order: "Spot reserved, start queuing. What would you like to eat? Send me the order, and I'll order for you first."
The customer replied instantly with a long list: two servings of roasted chicken frames, two servings of braised pig's trotters, twenty lamb skewers, one serving of roasted eggplant, one serving of roasted chives, one serving of roasted enoki mushrooms, four roasted bread slices, and one pitcher of plum juice.
Shen Li stared in disbelief. This girl, all alone? Eating so much?
He scrolled up through the chat history... The customer's ID was "Eat Meat Today Too," and the profile picture was a sizzling tomahawk steak.
The historical orders are all "queue-queueing services": hot pot, Japanese food, barbecue, trendy milk tea... On average, there are three or four orders a week, which is definitely "queue phobia + heavy meat lover + pay-to-win player".
Shen Li was flipping through the pages when a commotion suddenly broke out behind her.
Looking back... wow.
A girl was riding a shared bicycle this way, her basket stuffed with express delivery boxes and a bag of fruit hanging on the handlebars. She was swaying like an acrobat.
She was wearing a loose white T-shirt, but her figure was too big to resist. The T-shirt was stretched taut by her ample bosom, and the deep cleavage below the neckline rose and fell violently with the bumps, making passersby turn their heads.
She wore denim shorts, her long, white legs gleaming in the sunset, the tender flesh on her inner thighs taut and undulating with each pedal stroke. She wore flip-flops, her toenails painted a bright red.
Just as she was about to hit the curb, she slammed on the brakes. The delivery boxes in her bike basket slid forward with a "whoosh," and the top one was about to fall off...
Shen Li reacted quickly and caught it.
"Oh my god! That scared me to death!"
The girl patted her chest, her ample bosom heaving violently beneath her T-shirt. "Thank you so much, classmate! If this package had been damaged, my roommate would have cooked me alive!"
Shen Li handed the package back, a harmless smile plastered on her face: "It's nothing, just a small favor. Senior, are you... moving?"
"Don't even mention it!"
The girl parked the car, wiped the sweat from her brow,
"During the pre-sale period for Singles' Day, the four of us in my dorm pooled our money and bought a ton of stuff, but it all ended up being shipped to my account. I've already been to the courier station three times this afternoon!"
As she spoke, she sized up Shen Li, "What are you doing here? In line?"
"Queueing service. Orders accepted."
The girl's eyes lit up: "Queue-queue service? How much per order?"
"This order is 35."
"Then can you help me get in line too!" She pulled out her phone. "I've been craving their roasted pig's trotters for a week, and every time I come here the line stretches to the curb. I'll pay you extra!"
Shen Li smiled wryly: "Senior, I'm all alone, so I can only get one number. I've already accepted this order, and the customer has already ordered the food."
The girl's eyes darted around, and she suddenly took a step closer.
The T-shirt collar drooped slightly with this movement, revealing an even more magnificent sight. She lowered her voice: "How many people are in your client's group?"
"I guess...it was just one person? They ordered a ton of stuff."
"One person ordering a whole bunch?" The girl's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh. "That's perfect! Ask her if she'd like to share a table! I'll treat her to plum juice! Oh wait, I mean, I'll treat her to roasted pig's trotters!"
Shen Li thought for a moment, then sent a message to "Eat Meat Today Too" explaining the situation.
The other person replied instantly: "Sharing a table? Sure! It's more fun with more people! Let her come!"
Shen Li handed over her phone. The girl glanced at it and laughed, "This girl is straightforward! I like her!"
He immediately took out his phone and added "I want to eat meat today" on WeChat. The two chatted enthusiastically... They talked about everything from roasted pig's trotters to sour plum juice, from the pain of queuing to the pain of express delivery. They hit it off immediately.
Shen Li stood to the side, feeling like she was just a tool.
After chatting for only a few minutes, the girl suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot! My roommate is waiting for me to come back and help her assemble the shoe cabinet! She's so clumsy; last time she assembled the desk upside down, with the drawers facing the wall, and it took her half a month to realize it!"
She looked at Shen Li, her eyes darting around, and asked, "Junior, do you know how to assemble a shoe cabinet?"
Shen Li was secretly amused... Hadn't she just walked right into the line of fire?
He put on a professional smile: "Yes. I can assemble shoe cabinets, desks, and wardrobes, repair water pipes, change lock cylinders, and install routers. Senior, you can order through 'Flash Delivery Campus' by searching for 'Shen Li'."
The girl's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately pulled out her phone to place an order.
"Shen Li...found! Order now! Hey, you can fix pipes? The faucet in our dorm has been leaking for two months, we've reported it three times and no one has come. When are you free?"
"You can place your orders all at once tomorrow afternoon. I'll take them one by one and give you a discount."
"Alright!" The girl happily placed three orders... assembling a shoe cabinet, repairing a faucet, and changing a lock cylinder, totaling 150 yuan.
Shen Li looked at the notifications of incoming funds ringing in the app and felt incredibly happy.
"By the way, my name is Tang Tian, and I'm a junior majoring in broadcasting." The girl extended her hand. "If anything in our dorm breaks, we'll come to you!"
Shen Li shook hands with her.
The hand was soft and boneless, warm but with considerable strength.
His mind raced, labeling Tang Tian with various tags:
A third-year broadcasting major, a savior to her clumsy roommate, with an SSR figure... her bust size under her white T-shirt is estimated to be over D, and her long, straight, white legs are covered in hot pants. She's outgoing, generous with money, and could become a long-term, stable client.
After waiting in line for almost an hour, it was finally Shen Li's turn.
