Chapter 265: Eateries and sweetness.
Mei Mei thought she would be the first to arrive at the space camp.
She was wrong.
A line of very excited people was standing outside the gates. Cars were also lined up and they went all the way to the road, causing unexpected traffic. The cause of all the traffic was simple.
All the new eateries opening in the park. Fifty percent of the people in the line were not even planning to stick around and enjoy other amenities. They were just there to buy snacks, fill their stomachs and be on their way.
Many live streamers had come as if it was a special event. They were already showing the length of the lines to their viewers.
When Jingzhe’s car flew in, grumbles rose from the crowd and car horns hooted displeasure. The people seemed ready to stone the car and its occupants.
"That is the boss." A security guard announced.
Only then did the people lower their heckles and lower their voices. They were still mumbling though, urging security to open the gates and let them through.
The size of the crowd and the traffic in the Hollow alerted the police. The old police station in the district had been renovated and stuffed. They rushed to the area to maintain security.
After Mei Mei went inside, twenty police cars drove into the space camp. They were expecting trouble to arrive. Police Chief Xia Qingye that was in charge of the district was still in bed. None the less, she gave a call to swat and also alerted the Imperial Command.
All law enforcement departments were still on high alert after the attempted assassination of the Empress. Jun Meilin was close to the royal family and rumor had it that some important nobles would be at the camp. It was best to be prepared than caught off guard.
In the camp, all of the staff had already arrived. The staff of the eateries that were being opened were also on ground, sweating away in the kitchens as they prepared for the openings. As they had all decided to open on the same day, competition to be the sales champion was high.
