Shuaiyu's face turned sour beside him, and he reached out to touch his empty wallet, truly regretting having called Su Hang over today. This guy was like a reincarnated hungry ghost, eating so many buns without even drinking the soup. A basket of buns costs ten yuan, ten baskets are a hundred yuan, this breakfast was really expensive.
"Brother, can you still eat? If you can, I'll treat you to another basket?" A well-dressed, fat diner approached, looking at Su Hang with great curiosity and enthusiasm.
Su Hang rolled his eyes. Do these people really think I'm a street performer?
Before he could speak, the shop owner said, "The last basket of buns has been eaten. If you want more, we have to make them fresh."
The fat man said, "Boss, your shop can't just have buns, right? Bring this little brother a few bowls of noodles."
"Are you kidding? There's no way he can eat more. Boss, let's settle the bill." Shuaiyu just wanted to slap that fat man, quickly called the boss to settle the bill, and dragged Su Hang away from the noodle shop as if escaping.

"Damn, I'm telling you, bro, do you have diabetes or something? How can you suddenly eat so much?" On a side street, Shuaiyu couldn't help but complain.
Qin Shiyu also looked at Su Hang with great curiosity, more accurately, at Su Hang's stomach. After eating so much, he still looked fine. The scene of Su Hang eating the buns was truly shocking.
"You're the one with diabetes." Su Hang was furious. He was just replenishing his energy; it couldn't be a disease. He was only half full.
Shuaiyu was really worried, "Who eats that much? I think we should go to the hospital and get you checked, just in case."
Su Hang felt a bit dizzy, "I'm fine, I've always had a big appetite. I just didn't want to scare you guys before."
"Really?" Shuaiyu was skeptical.
Su Hang nodded.
Qin Shiyu's eyes twinkled, "Eating so much, and your stomach is fine?"
Su Hang patted his stomach, "Fine, I don't feel a thing."
"Is this some kind of special ability?" Qin Shiyu's eyes lit up, but then she shook her head, "But, what a cheap special ability."
Su Hang laughed dryly.
"Who said it's cheap?" At that moment, a greasy voice came from outside the alley.
The three of them looked towards the alley entrance and saw the fat man from the noodle shop standing there.
The fat man was really fat, almost blocking the alley. He held a briefcase in one hand, and his whole body jiggled as he walked. His hair was greasy and shiny, making people think of a certain farm animal used for insults.
"Uh..." Seeing the fat man approach like a mountain of meat, the three of them were stunned.
"What are you following us for?" Shuaiyu spoke first, his tone a bit aggressive. Although the fat man was big, Shuaiyu wasn't afraid of a fight.
The fat man didn't get angry, his face full of a sly smile.
His gaze bypassed Shuaiyu and fell directly on Su Hang, "Little brother, can we talk in private?"
"Good words don't need privacy, and private words aren't good. Say what you have to say here!" Shuaiyu stepped in front of Su Hang, perhaps because the fat man didn't look like a good person.
Seeing that Su Hang didn't want to talk in private, the fat man laughed dryly, took out a business card from his briefcase, and handed it over, "I am the market department manager of the Jiu Ding Group's Rongcheng branch. This is my card."
Shuaiyu took the card, glanced at it, and laughed, turning to Su Hang, "This guy says he's from the Jiu Ding Group!"
Su Hang couldn't help but laugh, but he found Shuaiyu's reaction amusing.
The fat man's face twitched. As a fat man, this young man's words were too disrespectful.
"Jiu Ding Group, the one that claims to be one of the world's top 500 food groups?" Shuaiyu looked at the fat man with a raised eyebrow.
The fat man nodded, smiling, quite gentlemanly.
"Who are you trying to fool? With your status, you can eat at a bun shop?" Shuaiyu clearly didn't believe the fat man.
The fat man wasn't in a hurry, "I am a chef by training, and I enjoy collecting local delicacies. I just happened to go to that bun shop today."
"Tch!" Shuaiyu sneered, looking at the card, "Cai Jiu Xia, Special Second-Class Chef. Ha, you're not just a little second-rate, you're a complete fraud. I've seen plenty of people like you, get lost!"

Su Hang wasn't as impulsive as Shuaiyu. The system had already scanned, and he believed most of what the fat man said. A Special Second-Class Chef, though Su Hang didn't know what it meant, it sounded impressive.
With a wave of his right hand, he pushed Shuaiyu aside and sized up Cai Jiu Xia, "Why are you following us?"
Cai Jiu Xia smiled at Su Hang, "I'm not following you all, I'm following you."
"Why are you following me?" Su Hang rolled his eyes.
Cai Jiu Xia chuckled, looking at Su Hang with great curiosity, "Little brother, I have a question. Has your appetite always been this big?"
Su Hang nodded, "What's it to you? I didn't eat your food, did I?"
"Little brother, don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions!" Cai Jiu Xia laughed dryly, "Let me ask you, how much can you eat in one meal?"
Su Hang shook his head, being modest.
"What do you mean?" Cai Jiu Xia was surprised by Su Hang's response.
"I've never been full, so how would I know how much I can eat?" Su Hang shrugged, his smug look making Qin Shiyu and her brother laugh.
"Never been full?" Cai Jiu Xia was stunned, "Little brother, are you serious?"
"My brother wouldn't lie to you," Shuaiyu glared, stepping forward, "Say what you have to say quickly, our time is valuable."
Cai Jiu Xia's face was full of a sly smile, "Here's the thing, our Jiu Ding Group is planning a competition to find the biggest eater. I saw how much you can eat, so I want to invite you to participate."
"A big eater competition?" Su Hang and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Cai Jiu Xia nodded, "This is our group's biggest event of the year, with a lot of resources invested in promotion. If you watch TV, you should have seen our ads. The higher-ups have ordered us to make this event grand. We've already invited many well-known participants from home and abroad, and many other big eaters from the public are also signing up. I saw you eat over sixty buns in one go. If you participate in our competition, you'll definitely do well."
