Chapter 2 I'm so Hungry and Want to Eat

After driving on the provincial highway for 20 minutes, the high-rise buildings of City T could be vaguely seen. It was getting closer and closer to the city center, and it was also getting closer and closer to the time to go to work. Li Ming was a little anxious because he would be fined for being late.

At this moment, the vehicle in front suddenly slowed down, and the lanes next to it were full of cars. Yes, there was a traffic jam. Li Ming sighed and glanced at his phone. It was 08:11.

"It's over, less than 20 minutes." Li Ming leaned back and said to himself in despair.

There was no way, just wait. It was useless to be anxious at this time, and many vehicles behind kept honking their horns. Some drivers also anxiously stuck their heads out of the car to look forward, but there were only private cars in front, and there was nothing unusual. They had no idea what was happening in the front.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Li Ming picked up his phone again and saw that it was 08:22. Eleven minutes had passed. At this time, many drivers had already gotten off the car and walked to the front. Li Ming also anxiously stuck his head out of the car and seemed to see some surging heads.

At this time, Li Ming's phone suddenly rang. It was someone who called. When he saw the caller note: Manager, his first reaction was: It's over.

Li Ming answered the phone, and a woman's voice soon came from it: "Li Ming, do you know that the company's regular meeting is today?! Where are you now? Have you prepared your information?!"

"I... I'm on the road now, and there's a traffic jam..." Li Ming replied.

"I don't want to hear excuses. Get to the company on time before 8:30, and prepare the information. If you don't arrive after 8:30, you don't have to come to work in the future... Beep beep..." As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up directly.

Li Ming looked at the many vehicles in front of him, put his phone in his pocket, opened the door and got out of the car. He walked forward and complained angrily: "Damn, this is not a city, and there is still a traffic jam?!"

Private cars were lined up for dozens of meters. After Li Ming walked a distance, the situation in the distance immediately became clear. At this time, more than a dozen drivers or passengers had gathered around. It can be seen that a billboard stand on the roadside fell in the middle of the road, blocking the road, and also pressed the front part of a black private car, but it didn't hit the body of the car.

This billboard stand is a round hollow iron frame, about the same thickness as a person's waist. There is no billboard on the top, just like an iron rod. At this time, more than a dozen people are surrounding the top of the iron frame, intending to push the iron frame away with their combined strength.

Although the iron frame is heavier as a whole, it was pushed down from the black car with the combined strength of everyone. However, everyone still pushed the iron frame hard, as if they wanted to move it off the road to allow vehicles to pass.

Seeing this, Li Ming quickened his pace and prepared to help. Meanwhile, more people came from the vehicles. With the efforts of everyone, the iron frame was pushed to the roadside bit by bit. With the help of Li Ming, four or five people came later.

With the strength of nearly 20 people, the iron frame had been slowly pushed away by half, and the other half of the road was passable.

"Okay, that's it. Leave the rest to the traffic police. I'm in a hurry to go to work." One of the men in black suddenly said.

Li Ming also felt that it was almost done. Half of the road could be barely passable first. Besides, the root of the iron frame had not been completely disconnected. It was not so easy to completely push it off the road without heavy equipment.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang again. Li Ming took out the mobile phone. The caller note: Manager, checking the time, 08:31.

Li Ming answered the phone, and immediately heard a woman's voice: "You don't need to come. The finance department will settle your remaining salary."

After the other party finished speaking, she hung up directly.

"MD, I..." Li Ming looked at the phone angrily. The other party had hung up long ago, not giving him a chance to speak.

Looking at the iron frame in front of him, Li Ming was furious, and then kicked the iron frame angrily.

'Bang'

'Swoosh'

The iron frame, which was more than ten meters long, flew out directly, and after a rotation, it fell into the woods in the green belt beside the road.

Li Ming was stunned. He obviously didn't use any strength. How could he just kick it casually, and the iron frame that could barely move with 20 people flew out? Those drivers who had not walked far stopped one after another, and their eyes stopped on Li Ming instantly.

Li Ming opened his mouth wide, turned around gently, glanced at the strange eyes of those people, and then lowered his head and walked quickly towards his car, but the eyes and expressions of these people were completely unbelievable.

Quickly returned to the car, closed the car door, closed all the windows, and Li Ming checked his right foot. There was no change, not even a trace of pain, as if he kicked a wooden stick, but how could it be so powerful? Li Ming himself felt incredible, and he was even muttering in his mind: "What's going on? Superpowers?"

The vehicle in front slowly started to move, and the road was completely open. Except for the black car that was hit, other vehicles began to drive away in an orderly manner. Li Ming restarted the car and slowly drove along with the vehicle in front. After entering the position of the iron frame, Li Ming turned his head and took a look, and his face suddenly changed.

The iron frame was not only kicked away, but the part that was kicked was already dented, and the entire iron frame was bent. Seeing this, Li Ming stepped on the accelerator and left quickly.

When the vehicle entered the city, Li Ming picked up his mobile phone again, but it was already out of power and turned off. The speed of the car slowed down. Going to the company? He had been fired, and it was probably useless to explain to the manager. Going home? Sitting at home? The car loan still needs to be paid every month.

Beep beep beep...

The car behind honked the horn. Li Ming's slow speed had affected others. Looking through the rearview mirror, the driver behind seemed a little irritable and continued to honk the horn, while also leaning out of the window: "Are you going or not? Are you sick!"

Li Ming took a long breath, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, shuttling back and forth on the streets of the city. After a few turns, he had arrived at the gate of his residential area. Although he didn't know where to go, he walked back home.

This is where Li Ming rents his apartment. There are many parking spaces at the entrance of the community. After parking the car, Li Ming was in a daze in the car. At this time, he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of a large shopping mall across the street in the rearview mirror. These people gathered there, as if the mall was holding some lively activities.

Li Ming opened the car door and looked over there. A host was saying something on the high platform in front of the shopping mall. When he stopped talking, dynamic music sounded, and when the music stopped, he started talking again.

Li Ming closed the car door and walked over directly. The voice of the host also sounded clearly in his ears.

"The second Big Eater Contest of the [Super Delicious] Dessert Chain is about to begin. Today, our Super Delicious Dessert T City Headquarters is here to give you benefits sincerely!!! As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, but today, the free lunch is right in front of you!!! Do you remember the lively scene of the first Big Eater Contest last year, the endless supply of delicious desserts and milk tea juice, and the prize for the champion was a month of free lunch and dinner!!! Yes, you heard it right, the Super Delicious Dessert Big Eater Contest is so awesome, it allows you to eat as much as you want for free!!! It's not your fault if you missed the first time, but you will regret it if you missed this time!!!"

"Today, in addition to the three contestants who have been selected through layers of selection, we also invited the champion of the previous session to see whether the new contestant is better or the old champion can defend his title. In addition, we will select two contestants on the spot. Is there anyone who wants to sign up?!"

Li Ming has appeared among these enthusiastic audiences, and the crowded crowd is watching the situation on the stage carefully, looking forward to the start of the performance.

The host on the stage walked back and forth, carefully looking at the crowd below, and continued: "No? Really? If any friend on the scene can win, we will have an additional reward, which is 20,000 yuan in cash!"

"Is there anyone in the audience? Don't you dare to challenge yourself?!"

The host continued to shout, and when the voice stopped, the dynamic music sounded again. Although there were many people watching, no one took the initiative to sign up after the speech.

At this time, several girls in uniform on the high platform had set up the competition table, and several other boys came up to the stage with a large plate of snacks, and there were three large plates on each table. The plate was one foot long and wide, and the plate was full of sharp points.

Desserts are something that will inevitably make you sick if you eat too much, but for those who love desserts, they can naturally eat more.

At this time, the host suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, our competition desserts have been presented, which are our signature desserts, delicious cookies. Next, we would like to invite our last champion, Mr. Zhang, and the other three contestants to come on stage."

A 20-year-old, short-haired, slightly fat man came up, followed by two men and one woman. The four of them stood in front of the table as they came on stage.

The host first came to the slightly fat man and said: "As the champion of the previous session, do you have the confidence to defend the title!"

"Yes!"

"Do you have anything to say to other contestants?"

"If you can't finish it, leave it for me."

"Okay! The bold words have been released, and the other three contestants must also work hard. Now we need to find two contestants from the audience. If no one signs up, then I will start to select."

The host said, and began to look at the crowd. Soon a fat man came into his sight: "This big brother, it's you, come on, big brother, I see that you can also enter the top three with your body shape."

The fat man in the audience immediately shook his head and waved his hands, and said something in his mouth, but no one could hear what he was saying in the noisy scene.

"This big brother is a little shy, so we won't force this big brother. Then this gentleman, oh my God, sir, is this all your saliva? Or did you just take a shower at home without taking off your clothes."

The host said that he was looking at Li Ming who was nearby.

Ever since the desserts were brought up, Li Ming's eyes have never left them, but Li Ming has no preference for sweets. He just feels hungry when he sees these foods.

The saliva at the corner of his mouth was dripping like a faucet that was not closed properly. Not only was his shirt completely wet, but there was also a puddle of water under his feet. If Li Ming had not been dressed in formal attire, he would probably have been mistaken for a mental patient.

After the host said this, Li Ming realized that he had actually drooled so much. This made Li Ming himself unbelievable. He did not like sweets, but why did he make such a fool of himself today? His saliva was almost flowing like a river.

"Hahaha..."

"Haha..."

The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw Li Ming's appearance. Anyone who saw this scene might have the first impression that he was not a fool.

In this embarrassing situation, Li Ming wanted to find a crack to get in. It was embarrassing. He should leave quickly.

The host grabbed Li Ming and dragged him to the stage, then said: "You can see that our desserts are so tempting. It's okay, sir. This is normal. I often drool when I see delicious food, but not as much as yours."

If Li Ming wanted to leave, he could definitely leave, but when he saw the food, Li Ming's body had a violent reaction, as if his brain had only one command, eat! I want to eat!

The host pulled Li Ming to one of the tables. At this time, five contestants including Li Ming were standing on the stage, and the host continued to look at the audience and said: "There is still one missing, one missing, okay, this beauty, it's okay, beautiful woman, eat whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you can't get a ranking, the main thing is that you can eat for free."

As he said this, a woman in her thirties was invited to the stage.

The host arranged the woman to the last table and said, "All contestants are in place. The second round... Hey, wait, wait, we haven't started yet. It's useless for you to eat now."

While the host was talking, Li Ming had already eaten half of the first plate. He stopped only after the host stopped him.

"Okay, without further ado, serve the milk tea and juice. The second round of the Super Delicious Big Eater Challenge begins now!"

As the host finished speaking, all the contestants began to eat, and with the music, the group leaders watching were all excited.
