Chapter 457: Chapter 170: Feast Preparations, 3 New Snacks

Ling Shuyu looked at her boss with a conflicted and utterly baffled expression. "It was about three hours after that rumor started to spread, so around nine o’clock."

"New faces started showing up at our restaurant, one after another. They’d come in and ask, ’I heard you have a dish here that’s so good it made someone eat until they were stuffed to death. What is it? That sounds awesome!’"

As she spoke, Ling Shuyu even mimicked their tone and gestures. Su Chen couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. ’This is hilarious.’

"Anyway, we didn’t say anything, but some of the customers who were there at the time must have noticed President Feng eating."

"So someone spoke up and said he was eating rice noodle rolls, pork rib rice cakes, and duck blood and shredded chicken noodle soup."

Su Chen said, "Well, isn’t that a good thing? What else?"

Ling Shuyu nodded. "After that, those people stood on the third floor, specifically demanding to eat those three snacks. Then more people came, and then..."

"Just get to the point," Su Chen interrupted.

"Oh!" Ling Shuyu gave Su Chen a complicated look. "Then, the customers on the third floor just exploded! They all wanted to eat those three snacks. The arguing got really intense. If Bai Xiaobo and his team hadn’t come to kick everyone out at closing time, they’d probably still be at it."

"Someone even left a comment on our Douyin account saying that if they can’t get those three snacks, they’ll come back and comment every single day!"

"So, what I’m trying to say is..." Ling Shuyu finally voiced her thoughts. "I’m guessing this might be a brilliant play you orchestrated yourself, all to lay the groundwork for our new department—the snack department? To sort of sound the charge?"

Su Chen rubbed the tip of his nose.

Hmm...

’That’s one good thing about President Ling.’

’I never have to do anything, and she’ll automatically come up with some grand explanation and attribute it all to me.’

In reality, Su Chen had no real talent for business.

But thanks to Ling Shuyu’s imaginative conclusions, everyone in the company was already convinced that Su Chen was a one-in-a-million business genius!

So, Su Chen didn’t bother explaining. "We should probably open that snack food floor. What we lack right now is a concrete plan. You and Liu Shengnan should discuss it, keeping the budget in mind. If we can pull it off without taking out any loans, the project can be approved at any time."

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuyu’s eyes widened, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on her pants. "Okay!"

This was the kind of order that excited her the most.

Whenever Su Chen gave the word, she, Ling Shuyu, would become the project’s general manager. That feeling of being in command, directing the grand strategy, and finally seeing her own brilliant results—there was nothing more exhilarating!

Ling Shuyu immediately stood up to leave but paused at the doorway.

"Boss, with a mind like yours, it’s really a bit of a waste for you to be cooking personally."

Leaving him with those baffling words, she left the nineteenth floor.

Su Chen was left so embarrassed he felt like he could scratch a hole in the floor.

"What the hell kind of mind do I have?"

Su Chen laughed speechlessly. ’To be honest, I thought I didn’t have much of a business mind, but after all of Ling Shuyu’s hype, it seems like I’m actually pretty sharp.’

’If I’m not mistaken...’

’I had just talked to her about the snack food project, and President Ling was still agonizing over whether it could even get off the ground.’

’For one, the prospects were a bit uncertain.’

’They could open it, sure, but snacks are destined to be sold one type per stall. That means for every type of snack, you need another person.’

’What if someone’s cooking wasn’t good? That would ruin Delicious’s reputation!’

’But now, everything was great.’

Boss Su had staged a brilliant play himself, instantly drawing a ton of attention to Delicious’s snacks.

These were snacks so good they could make someone eat themselves to death!

Even after returning to her office on the second floor and calling Liu Shengnan over, Ling Shuyu couldn’t help but marvel.

"Boss Su is truly a one-in-a-million genius! The drama he directed didn’t cost a single cent, yet it achieved the effect of a million-dollar advertising campaign!"

"It makes me, an advertising designer, feel completely inadequate. Boss Su is the one who should be a real advertising strategist!"

After hearing Ling Shuyu’s story, Liu Shengnan also gasped in amazement.

"I knew from the very beginning that working for Boss Su was the right choice! The company’s doing better and better, and our benefits are improving too. He’s incredible!"

Ling Shuyu, on the other hand, didn’t care much about the benefits; what she enjoyed was that awesome, powerful feeling.

Now that the boss had given the green light, she could roll up her sleeves and get to work!

「As for the instigator of this whole incident...」

Feng Yaoyang had just walked out of the hospital.

"I told you it was nothing, it was nothing! Why did we have to go to the hospital? So embarrassing!"

Ah Wu didn’t know what to say. "Boss, it’s actually fine. Even though someone took a video, your head was covered at the time."

Damn!

This reminded Feng Yaoyang of a scenario he’d seen before.

If a group of reporters suddenly burst in while you were showering and you only had one towel, what would you cover?

’Dammit, I chose to cover my face.’

"It’s my own stomach, I should know it best. How could that have happened?"

Just now at the hospital, Feng Yaoyang had been given painkillers and induced to vomit.

It was a very simple matter: he had eaten too much, and combined with a pre-existing stomach condition, it had caused a sudden, acute stomachache.

Once he vomited up the contents of his stomach and let it settle, it was no longer a big deal.

As he was leaving, however, the doctor asked him a question with a very curious tone.

"Is it still that hard to get a full meal in Xiangjiang these days?"

Feng Yaoyang shook his head in embarrassment. "No."
