Uncle Li's BBQ restaurant, five people walked into the restaurant one after another, and the restaurant was basically full.

Business is booming. Uncle Li likes cleanliness and he always cleans the table and the house after closing every day. The meat skewers are always fresh and the price is very affordable, so there are many repeat customers.

Uncle Li came out to deliver the skewers and saw the five of them walking in. Even though they were wearing masks, he still recognized them at a glance.

"You haven't come to Uncle Li's to eat grilled skewers in a while. You must be busy with training. Come on, come on, sit in the private room inside." Uncle Li said as he passed the grilled skewers to the guests.

Uncle Li quickly delivered the skewers and led the five people into the private room. This was a private room that Uncle Li reserved for regular customers who liked quietness, and it happened to be empty today.

"Uncle Li, I really miss your grilled skewers. Uncle Li, please give me more of your specialties. I can eat a whole cow!" Qiqi joked with Uncle Li with a smile.

"Haha, that's definitely no problem. Uncle Li will grill it for you personally! Uncle Li will grill as much as you can eat." Uncle Li was also amused by Qiqi.

A group of people walked into the private room and sat down. They all took off their masks and only then did Uncle Li see Li Zeyan.

"Oh, this little comrade is so handsome. Is he your new friend?" Uncle Li liked this extremely pretty child as soon as he saw him.

"Hello Uncle Li, I'm a new member of the ZM team. My name is Li Zeyan, you can just call me Zeyan." Li Zeyan was a little embarrassed by the praise and introduced himself to Uncle Li.

"Okay, okay, Zeyan, take a look at the menu and tell Uncle Li what you like to eat. Uncle Li will grill it for you. Do you like it a little more tender or a little more burnt? Can you eat spicy food?" Uncle Li handed the menu to Li Zeyan with a smile.

"Since you can eat spicy food, everything Uncle Li grills must be delicious." Li Zeyan replied to Uncle Li with a smile.

"Captain, you order." Li Zeyan handed the menu to Jun Ying.

"Hahahahahahahahaha, I'm not bragging. Uncle Li is absolutely a professional when it comes to grilling skewers." Uncle Li said with a proud look on his face.

"Uncle Li! You are biased. You never even asked me what flavor I like to eat!" Qiqi pouted and shook Uncle Li's arm to pretend to win his favor.

"Okay, stop playing tricks. You've come here so many times. Uncle Li knows everything you like to eat. You can't be left out!" Uncle Li was amused by his funny look.

"Ahuan, bring Qiqi back and have him sit down. Uncle Li will give me a plate of roasted eggplant." Yan Mingkai winked at Lu Huan.

"Hurry up and sit down and wait for your meal. This is Zeyan's first time here, so don't be naughty." Lu Huan pulled Xu Qi back and sat him down.

"Uncle Li, let's do it as before and add more of your expertise." Jun Ying said to Uncle Li.

"Okay, let Xiao Sun give you some fresh plum juice made today. I'll go grill for you." Uncle Li walked out of the private room with a smile on his face and headed for the kitchen. He went to grill the skewers himself.

"Yanyan, let me tell you, you will fall in love with Uncle Li's grilled skewers after trying them once, especially the beef skewers. Paired with Uncle Li's homemade secret sauce, your mouth will be filled with juice when you take a bite. Hey, come to think of it, we have been eating them for three years now, and they still taste the same as before. The first time we ate them was when Uncle Li was running a roadside stall." Qiqi recommended them to Li Zeyan, and as she spoke, a flash of memory flashed through her mind.

"At that time, ZM had not yet received investment from its current boss. The four of us, as well as Lao Qin, were still playing in Internet cafe competitions. Uncle Li set up a night stall not far from the Internet cafe, and every time we went to eat, Uncle Li would always grill a few more skewers." Yan Mingkai also recalled, following Xu Qi's topic.

"You, always say that Uncle Li can't count, and always count too much. If you eat a few more skewers, you will be happy for a long time." Lu Huan tapped Xu Qi's head with his finger.

"I still remember one time Uncle Li was too busy to handle the crowds and his wallet was stolen. We chased him for two blocks before we got the wallet back. Uncle Li was so moved that he thanked us for a long time. Later, when we went to eat skewers, we never charged him. It was always the team leader who secretly put money under Uncle Li's plate." Yan Mingkai said while drinking plum juice.

"Yes, Uncle Li said that the bag contained all the money he had at the time. Without it, it would have been difficult for him to set up his stall and stock up on goods the next day. Fortunately, we caught up with him and snatched it back." Lu Huan continued following Yan Mingkai's words.

"Of course not! I saw it first, and I shouted immediately, but the captain reacted quickly and chased after him in no time!" Qiqi took a sip of plum juice, smacked his lips, and said proudly.

"Oh, it's a pity that Lao Qin couldn't go on with us in the end. It was really too difficult at the beginning. I can understand him." Qiqi said again.

"Oh, Lao Qin was the one who played the support position when we first formed the team. At that time, few people knew about e-sports competitions, and not so many people accepted them. We didn't have much money or fame when we first formed the team. Lao Qin had just graduated from college at that time, and he was older than us. We played together for about half a year. Later, Lao Qin's family arranged for him to go home and take the civil service exam. At that time, he didn't see any future in playing in the competition, and with his age, he went home. Now he is a civil servant, right? Later, the team was spotted by a big boss in an Internet cafe competition, and suddenly the big boss invested in it, which led to the ZM team we have today." Yan Mingkai explained the cause and effect to Li Zeyan.

"Uncle Li also started out as a street vendor and later opened a shop here. Sometimes when we're hungry after training, we'll come here for a midnight snack." Yan Mingkai said as he filled everyone's cups with plum juice.

"Yanyan, let me tell you, this is Uncle Li's secret base, and you are the first one to know about it. We haven't even brought that ungrateful guy here!" Qiqi's eyes were full of smiles and a little pride.

"You have no idea, it was so frustrating. Because of this ungrateful guy, we were so close to the world championship! All our efforts were in vain in the end! He even bit back at the captain. The whole team was scolded for more than a month after losing the game, and the captain was especially scolded the worst. Everyone felt relieved, and today we really felt relieved! Yanyan is so handsome!" Qiqi said with a relieved look on his face.

"Zero, welcome to ZM!" Yan Mingkai raised his cup and looked at Li Zeyan with sincerity in his eyes.

"Zero, welcome to ZM!" Xu Qi also raised his glass and looked at Li Zeyan sincerely to express his welcome.

"Zero, welcome to ZM!" Lu Huan also raised his glass and sincerely welcomed Li Zeyan.

"Zero, welcome to ZM!" Jun Ying picked up her cup, curled her lips and smiled, looking at Li Zeyan eagerly.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. I am really happy to join ZM. Let's work together to win back the world championship trophy!" Li Zeyan looked at everyone's sincere welcome, and was moved as he looked at the four of them. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"

“Cheers!” “Cheers!” “Cheers!” “Cheers!”

"Hahahahahahahahaha" five people laughed at the same time.

"Here they come! The skewers are here, eat them while they're hot." Uncle Li came in with the grilled skewers.

Uncle Li saw the five people laughing so happily and was infected by them and started laughing. He put the skewers on the table and asked them to eat quickly, fearing that they would be hungry.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li." Jun Ying said as she took a skewer of beef and gave it to Li Zeyan.

"Hmm, it's delicious! It's still as delicious as always!" Yan Mingkai did not forget to praise while eating.

"Hey! Huanhuan, give me a bite of your chicken skewer!" Xu Qi held skewers of meat in both hands, beef in the left hand and mutton in the right hand, and he was still thinking about the chicken in Lu Huan's hand.

"Thank you, Captain. You can eat too." Li Zeyan took the beef skewers handed over by Jun Ying.

"Hmm~ It's really delicious, so tender!" Li Zeyan couldn't help but praise. Just as Xu Qi said, it was juicy and tender.

"As long as it tastes good, you guys enjoy your meal while I go and get busy. If you don't have enough, just give me a shout. If you want to eat some grilled skewers, come anytime. Uncle Li will grill them for you!" Uncle Li looked at them with a loving face. Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, he walked out with a smile and went back to do his business.

The five people were very satisfied with the meal and sincerely welcomed Li Zeyan to join them.

When Li Zeyan was paying the bill, he was told that Jun Ying had already paid.

"Captain, we agreed that I would treat you." Li Zeyan glared at Jun Ying.

"You treat, so it's no conflict if I pay the bill. Let's go back and have some rest." Jun Ying naturally put her arm around Li Zeyan's shoulders and smiled dotingly.

After eating and drinking their fill and laughing all the way, the five people took the nanny car back to the ZM team base.
