Protagonist:

Lu Feng

After the system notification sound, a familiar cool sensation spread through Lu Feng's mind.

Various soup noodle making techniques flooded into his brain all at once.

Hearing the system's notification sound, Lu Feng, who had been feeling a bit dizzy from soaking in the bath, instantly woke up and sat up from the bathtub.

After the mission content finished broadcasting, Lu Feng saw the detailed content of next week's mission appear before his eyes.

Lu Feng immediately looked at next week's business hours.

Six in the evening?

Lu Feng rubbed his eyes, hardly daring to believe it.

Could it be that the system really answered his prayer and couldn't bear to see him stay up late any longer?

This time was just right at mealtime; next week he could finally operate normally like other shops!

If he weren't completely naked right now, Lu Feng really wanted to jump up and cheer loudly.

System, I was wrong, I'll never curse you again!

It's no wonder Lu Feng was so excited; the system's business hours for the previous two weeks had really worn him out.

After the excitement slowly faded, Lu Feng looked over next week's system mission again.

Upon seeing this, the smile on his face instantly froze.

What's going on? Next week's business hours are only one hour a day?

Lu Feng wanted to speak up and ask the system if the business hours were wrong.

But thinking of the system's usual nature, he estimated the reply would be to do his best to complete the mission.

Lu Feng quickly calculated in his mind: next week he would need to sell 100 portions a day on average.

Lu Feng didn't count Saturday and Sunday; he was already used to resting on weekends.

But even counting the weekend, he would still need to sell over seventy portions a day.

If he could operate for two or three hours, selling a hundred portions a day wouldn't be impossible.

In the previous two weeks, Lu Feng had sold over a hundred portions a day on average.

But the difficulty was that next week there was only one hour of business hours each day.

It seemed next week's mission still couldn't be completed easily.

However, the reward for next week's mission was still quite tempting.

Not only was a luxury car rewarded, but also max-level driving skills.

This way, he even saved the money for getting a driver's license.

Lu Feng got up from the bathtub, dried his body, put on pajamas, and fell onto the bed.

Thinking about having to sell a hundred portions of soup noodles in one hour every day next week, Lu Feng felt a splitting headache.

Forget it, just do his best!

Lu Feng simply stopped thinking about it; when it was time to officially open for business tomorrow, he would see how things went.

…………

At noon the next day, in an office building in downtown Jiang City, Zhou Yaqin walked into the office and asked Zhao Zhenhui, who was sitting behind the desk, "Didn't Boss Lu open the shop this morning?"

Zhao Zhenhui rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, saying, "This morning I had the secretary go to Food Street twice to check, but the shop never opened, and there was no business notice posted at the door."

"What should we do? We promised Manager Qian to take him out for good food today, but Boss Lu won't open the shop. How do we explain this to Manager Qian?"

Zhou Yaqin looked a bit anxious. She had finally seen hope of cooperating with Manager Qian this time, and she didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Then Zhou Yaqin suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhao Zhenhui, asking, "That Liu Jie who just joined today—I heard you say he was Boss Lu's former superior. Why don't you have him call Boss Lu to ask when they'll open today?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhenhui's eyes lit up, then he lowered his head to think for a moment and shook his head: "It's not appropriate for us to do this. Liu Jie just came to our company, and we'd have him handle this kind of personal matter; it feels like we're using him, which isn't suitable."

"Besides, we're urging Boss Lu to open for our own business. I'm afraid Boss Lu would feel uncomfortable in his heart."

"What time is it now? You're still worrying about this? For such an important cooperation, you're still hesitating."

Liu Yaqin complained a couple of words after hearing this, but she also knew her husband's character, so she didn't continue to persuade him. She just looked at Zhao Zhenhui and asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Zhao Zhenhui smiled mysteriously, picked up the mobile phone on the table, opened WeChat, and opened a group chat.

The group chat was named "Lu Boss Business Notice Group," and there were already over a hundred people in it.

Zhou Yaqin watched Zhao Zhenhui's movements and couldn't help but walk up and lean against his shoulder to watch.

Many people in the group were chatting, and most of them were asking when Lu Feng would open for business today.

Zhao Zhenhui first threw a red packet into the group, then his fingers flew as he typed a message and sent it out.

"All you foodie friends, whoever can notify everyone in the group first about Boss Lu's business hours this week, I will personally reward 1000 yuan."

After the message was sent, the group immediately became lively.

"Thank you, Boss, for the red packet!"

"Wow! One thousand yuan? Boss is really generous!"

"I'm going to squat at the entrance of Boss Lu's shop right now. As soon as Boss Lu opens the door, I'll notify you immediately!"

"I'm going too! One thousand yuan, I'm determined to get it!"

"I'm already on my way to Food Street. Even if I don't eat today, I'll squat there until Boss Lu opens the door!"

"Thanks for the invite, I'm already at Food Street. Boss Lu hasn't opened yet. I'll notify Boss immediately if there's any news! @Zhao Zhenhui."

"Everyone's so eager! Then when Lu Boss opens the door, we'll see who's got the fastest fingers!"

"Compare finger speed with me? You think my twenty-five years of being single were for nothing?"

……

The people in the group chatted back and forth, the atmosphere extremely lively.

"Done, now just wait for the group's notification!"

Zhao Zhenhui turned to his wife and smiled, saying somewhat smugly.

"You're amazing!" Zhou Yaqin also smiled, then asked, "When did you join the group? How come I don't know?"

"Last week while queuing for a meal, a girl pulled me in, though Lu Boss doesn't seem to be in the group," Zhao Zhenhui said casually.

"A girl?"

Zhou Yaqin narrowed her eyes, her aura suddenly changed, and her gaze at Zhao Zhenhui turned somewhat dangerous.

Zhao Zhenhui's heart went Ge Jiong Yi Xia, and he immediately explained to his wife: "Wife, don't misunderstand, I just wanted to join the group, I'm also thinking I can often bring you to eat at Lu Boss's place in the future, really no other thoughts, I've deleted that girl's WeChat too, don't believe me, check!"

Saying this, he held his mobile phone up above his head with both hands, looking completely at her mercy.

Zhou Yaqin glared at him unhappily, grabbed Zhao Zhenhui's ear and pretended to speak viciously: "I'll believe you this time, you'd better not let me catch you with any leverage, otherwise you'll see!"

Zhao Zhenhui shook his head repeatedly, smiling and said: "Wife, be relieved, my heart only has you, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Zhou Yaqin hummed, then let go of his hand, crossed her arms and asked Zhao Zhenhui: "I'm also one of Lu Boss's diners, why didn't you pull me into the group?"

Zhao Zhenhui was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at his wife with a strange expression and said: "Aren't you someone who doesn't join groups unrelated to work?"

"Who said that!" Zhou Yaqin glared: "Didn't I tell you, as long as there's a group with you, I must be in it too, hurry up and pull me into the group!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhui laughed helplessly, quickly picked up his mobile phone and pulled Zhou Yaqin into the group.
