Chapter 6: The Triumphant Supermarket Owner
"Do you know who I am?" Tang Menglong stood up and looked down at Park Myung-soo.
Park Myung-soo was taken aback for a moment, and it was clear that Tang Menglong was cooperating with him, so he shouted: "Ah, I'm asking you!"
This skill is actually like playing basketball, it's about teamwork. If you don't work together with others, no matter how well you do your part, the overall effect won't be achieved.
Tang Menglong: "Ah! I'm asking you!"
Park Myung-soo: "Why are you copying me?!"
Tang Menglong: "Why are you copying me!"
"Park Myung-soo: 'There's a proper order between elders and juniors! How can you be so rude to your seniors?!'"
Just as Park Myung-soo thought Tang Menglong would learn from him, he saw Tang Menglong's sly smile and replied: "Uncle Park Myung-soo, I've decided not to sell you anything!"
Half a month later, when this episode of Infinite Challenge appeared on TV, the audience who were still slightly disgusted by Tang Menglong's rudeness couldn't help but burst out laughing at his last sentence, especially when they saw Park Myung-soo's eyes widening in shock, and with the addition of the flying skull in post-production, it was hilarious.
Tang Menglong has been tempered in the United States for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of storms. Facing those racists, thugs from poor areas, third-rate black gangs, underground worlds, and black boxing organizations, although he knows he is not a top-notch genius, but when it comes to grasping people's hearts, he has some insights, at least he can grasp a certain degree.
Just like now, if he learns a few more phrases from Park Myung-soo, I reckon he'll really get scolded by these Koreans until his face is covered in blood. Of course, this assumes that the editors will air this segment later on. But even if they do scold him, he's not afraid; after all, he doesn't have any plans to settle permanently in Korea for now.
However, Tang Menglong was still very clever and stopped after learning two or three sentences. Moreover, he called out a sentence "uncle", which is a term used to address an older man, and added another sentence at the end, making it really funny.
"Huh? Huh? You're kidding, right?" Park Myung-soo asked with his unique awkward smile.
Tang Menglong awkwardly replied: "Heh, heh, heh, I wasn't joking!"
"Ha!" The VJ who was following behind couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the anxious Xiao Ge immediately turned around to interrogate him.
Tang Menglong smiled and sat down, after which he became unshakeable. He really didn't sell the tea eggs to Park Myung-soo, but it wasn't because he disliked him. Tang Menglong had his own plan, and looking at PD Kim Tae-ho who was secretly laughing in the program team, Tang Menglong had a way to make him stop smiling soon.
Ten minutes later, Park Myung-soo walked out with his head down, and just as the six of them were discussing their strategy, a bright and cheerful female voice came from not far away.
"Oppa, what are you doing here?" Lee Hyori, dressed in stage attire, walked over and instantly all the cameras turned towards her, with everyone's gaze fixed on her.
At this time, Zheng Xun suddenly ran to Liu Zai Shi's ear and whispered: "Brother, use the beauty trick!"
Liu's eyes lit up and he immediately put on a bitter face, pulling Lee Hyori over to start complaining.
Lee Hyori heard the boss and surprisingly, he really insisted on limiting each person to two, and the little temper from before was gone, but instead, interest arose in her heart.
Beauty trick!!!
When Lee Hyori brought Liu Zai Shi and others into the supermarket, Tang Meng Long was indeed taken aback. However, seeing these people still had recording ideas, he had already prepared to wrap things up. After all, he had helped out, but didn't get paid for performing, let alone that he had an important "date" today, which was a matter of his dignity, and he must attend.
"Boss!" Li Xiaoli stood in front of the counter, gave him a charming glance, and then let out a husky, coquettish cry that was quite alluring.
Just looking at the time, it's almost up. Tang Menglong glanced at Lee Hyori, and his heart was already bleeding. 'Is this an opportunity for a foreign love affair? Unfortunately, it's not the right time!'
Tang Menglong looked at Lee Hyori and said reluctantly: "The beauty trick doesn't work on me!"
Black line on the forehead
After a moment of silence, everyone suppressed their laughter, and Liu Zhi Shi and others even exaggeratedly covered their mouths. Mainly because the sexy goddess Lee Hyori's previous "boss is too charming" was unexpected to get such an answer.
Looking at the handsome guy in front of her, Lee Hyori's face also turned slightly red, but her eyes were full of anger.
"Cough cough, does everyone want to know why they got the task of buying eggs?" Due to time constraints, Tang Menglong has already begun to implement his own plan.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Liu Zai Shi spoke first: "Of course I want to know, by the way, I still don't know your name. It's been bothering you for so long and affecting your business, very sorry!"
Tang Menglong was taken aback, looking at the uncle with glasses and a sincere expression, smiled and shook his head: "My name is Tang Menglong, but it doesn't matter, actually someone called me before!"
He pointed at Kim Tae-ho after finishing speaking, and Kim Tae-ho hastily waved his hand, looking at him with a flustered face.
Then, under Liu Zai Shi and others' curious eyes, Tang Meng Long told them about what happened with Jin Tai Hao three days ago.
"What?!"
"It's actually because of this reason!"
Looking at the six people's furious appearance, Tang Menglong chuckled and said: "Do you want to succeed?"
"Of course I have!" × 6.
"Wait, what do you mean!" Liu Zai Shi asked with some delight.
Tang Menglong smiled slyly at Jin Taihao, then turned his head and said: "It's simple, I have something to do now and will go out for a while. You guys help me watch the store. If you're willing to help me watch the store until six o'clock, after I leave, all these tea eggs can be sold to you! Oh, and this piece of glass needs to be replaced by you."
"Mung Ryong, you can't be like this!" Jin Tae-ho, who was standing next to him, called out anxiously, and for the first time, he didn't even address him as Director Tang, but instead used a more intimate form of address.
"Good!"
"No problem at all!"
The six of them burst out laughing and started talking. It's already four o'clock now, just two hours have passed, and watching the store for two hours is much more relaxing than a two-hour video recording session.
As for the quantity? They've recorded enough weird challenges, and playing them all together is no problem at all.
"If you agree, please announce your decision to the audience!" Tang Menglong looked at the excited six members of the production team and called out twice.
"Good!"
"Unlimited Challenge's audience friends, the six of us are willing to watch the store for Mr. Tang Menglong until 6 o'clock in exchange for the right to buy the remaining 28 tea leaf eggs!" Liu Zai Shi said with a serious face, and then several people became excited again.
All six of them laughed and thanked Tang Menglong, while Tang Long shook his head, took off the black jacket next to him and put it on, looking even more aloof. Two VJs couldn't help but take a few more shots of him.
Later when it was played back, Tang Menglong's actions of putting on clothes were all played out, and subtitles were added, marked as "The most handsome supermarket boss!" This title was recognized by many people.
Tang Menglong put on his clothes, handed the key to Liu Zai Shi, and told him to just lock the door at 6 o'clock. As for the key, let them leave it with the security guard at the door, and he was ready to leave.
"Ah, Dream Dragon, how can you be like this!" The production team's Jin Tai Hao looked at Tang Meng Long wanting to leave and called out in a somewhat annoyed tone.
Tang Menglong smiled and took a glance, then suddenly clapped his hands loudly, drawing the attention of everyone, including the VJs' cameras.
"Supermarket owner VS unlimited challenge, supermarket owner wins, haha, not only sold food, but also got free store employees, I am the final winner!" Tang Menglong said with a big laugh and left the supermarket.
At this moment, everyone in the supermarket was stunned. Later, when it was played back, countless skulls fell from the sky, and Liu Zai Shi and others, who were originally happy, were suddenly knocked down from heaven to hell.
Six people ran to Jintai Hao's side and expressed their 'apologies' to him, while Jintai Hao made a promise to all the audience.
"Supermarket boss VS infinite challenge, there will definitely be a second showdown, and the next victory will surely be ours. Everyone please look forward to it!"
