Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Boss Lu was joking with me; he's a really good boss, and I truly feel quite lucky."

As Hu Xiaoyun said this, her eyes shone bright, as if she were treating Lu Feng like an idol.

Then, she told Lin Meimei word for word what Lu Feng had said to her in the shop, praising his thoughtfulness and kindness nonstop.

Lin Meimei sat to one side listening to Hu Xiaoyun's experiences today, thinking as she listened.

"Xiao Yun, let me discuss something with you."

Lin Meimei suddenly gripped Hu Xiaoyun's hands tightly and asked with a serious face: "How about tomorrow you help me ask Boss Lu if he'd take me in too?"

Lin Meimei came from a well-off family, so she naturally looked down on the hundred-yuan-an-hour wage Lu Feng offered at the time.

But the key point was, working part-time at Lu Feng's shop meant she could eat his delicious cooking every day — that was far more fragrant than any wage!

"But..." Hu Xiaoyun hesitated, looking at Lin Meimei and asking: "Xiao Mei, don't you still have to help the counselor with stuff often from now on?"

"Tomorrow I'll go find the counselor and quit this lousy class cadre post — whoever wants it can have it!"

Lin Meimei said with a determined face, as if any price was worth paying as long as she could work part-time at Lu Feng's shop.

"This..."

Seeing Lin Meimei's dead-serious expression, Hu Xiaoyun thought for a moment, a troubled look appearing on her face.

She knew very well in her heart that this kind of thing couldn't be agreed to casually.

She'd only worked one day today and wasn't that familiar with Lu Feng yet; how could she have the nerve to bring up something like this to him?

Even if she really mustered the courage to bring it up, what if Lu Feng refused? Wouldn't that be terribly awkward?

Seeing the hesitant expression on Hu Xiaoyun's face, Lin Meimei also felt her request might have been a bit excessive.

Making a socially anxious person go put in a good word for her — that really was putting Hu Xiaoyun in a tough spot.

So Lin Meimei patted Hu Xiaoyun's shoulder and burst out laughing with a "pfft": "Just kidding with you, how come you took it seriously? Someone like me who can't do anything — even if I went to Boss Lu's, he'd probably fire me within three days."

Hu Xiaoyun let out a breath of relief, but hearing Lin Meimei's words, she said seriously: "Boss Lu is a good boss; he definitely wouldn't fire an employee lightly."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've only worked one day and you're already defending the boss? If Boss Lu knew you defended him this much, wouldn't he have to praise you as an outstanding employee?"

Lin Meimei wore a teasing smile, knowing Hu Xiaoyun had thin skin — saying this would definitely make her embarrassed.

Sure enough, Hu Xiaoyun's face visibly reddened, and she mumbled in a low voice: "Where did I defend him... I was just stating facts."

"Alright alright, I'll stop teasing you."

Lin Meimei looked at Hu Xiaoyun and laughed, very satisfied with her reaction.

The two girls chatted a while longer in the dormitory, then left together and headed toward the school cafeteria.

Lu Feng rode his Xiao Dian Lu back to Yunding Huating Villa District; the gate guards were used to him by now, and upon seeing his Xiao Dian Lu's headlights approaching from afar, they stepped forward, greeted him, and let him through.

Back at the villa, Lu Feng went straight to the bathroom, filled the tub with warm water, dripped in a few drops of essential oil, and the steaming heat mingled with a faint chive fragrance permeating the bathroom.

He soaked comfortably in the tub, feeling the comfort of the warm water enveloping his whole body, indescribably relaxed from head to toe.

After bathing, Lu Feng changed into a set of loose loungewear, lay lazily on the soft big bed, and started scrolling on his mobile phone.

His fingers flew across the screen, pausing only for a few seconds when he occasionally swiped past videos of long-legged young ladies dancing.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on his phone screen — it was Xiao Feilong, who had frequented his shop a while back.

For this food-loving blogger, Lu Feng's impression of him was still quite deep.

Especially last time when he livestreamed at Lu Feng's shop — just the fans' gifts alone totaled over a hundred thousand, which even surprised Lu Feng.

But after that livestream, Xiao Feilong hadn't come to Lu Feng's shop for a period of time.

Lu Feng stopped his upward-swiping finger and watched seriously.

The video he'd swiped to was one Xiao Feilong posted last week, content being a shop visit at a seafood buffet restaurant in the neighboring city.

The video opened with a chaotic scene: several staffers in red uniforms berating the lens, and one person trying to rush up and snatch the filming phone.

Xiao Feilong held back those aggressive staffers with one hand while pointing at their noses and shouting loudly: "Don't touch my phone! You're scamming consumers like this, I have to expose you!"

This opening quickly grabbed Lu Feng's attention; looks like he'd gotten into a conflict with the shop during the visit.

He couldn't help but sit up from the bed and continue watching seriously.

The lens switched: Xiao Feilong stood at the restaurant entrance, enthusiastically introducing the restaurant behind him: "Jia Ren, these past few days I've seen fans in the comment section strongly requesting I visit this seafood buffet, 88 yuan per person — today let's go see what it's all about."

Don't know if it was because the beauty filter was cranked too high, but Lu Feng felt Xiao Feilong's trademark steamed-bun face looked like it had slimmed down a bit. Faintly, the outline of his jawline could be seen.

Lu Feng didn't pay too much mind to these details and kept watching.

In the video, Xiao Feilong had already entered the restaurant, and the lens turned to the food on the tables inside.

"Come on, Jia Ren look — this is their seafood, everyone look, can this even be eaten?"

As Xiao Feilong's lens moved, Lu Feng couldn't help but frown.

The so-called seafood in the lens looked at a glance like it had been frozen for a long time.

Those few shrimp on the plates had a blackish tinge to their color, and the squid placed beside them also looked not fresh at all.

Xiao Feilong randomly picked a few items, found a seat, and sat down.

He ate while complaining nonstop to the lens: "Jia Ren, this seafood tastes off, who knows how long it's been sitting there — serving stuff like this to consumers and still charging 88 a head, this merchant is really too black-hearted."

Next, the opening scene of the video occurred.

A passing staffer noticed Xiao Feilong filming and came up demanding he stop: "Sir, our restaurant doesn't allow filming without permission — please delete the video, otherwise we'll have to ask you to leave."

Xiao Feilong didn't like hearing that one bit; he stood up and started arguing with the staffer right away.

Then more and more restaurant staffers emerged, surrounding Xiao Feilong, and the mode of exchange between the two sides quickly turned from argument into a shouting match.

In the video, a man who appeared to be the Manager pointed at the Lens and threatened Xiao Feilong, saying that if he dared to release the video, he would be held responsible, with an extremely arrogant attitude.

However, judging by the situation, Xiao Feilong was not frightened by his threatening words at all, and the video was still uploaded.

After the footage of the dispute, in the next shot Xiao Feilong was already standing outside the Restaurant, facing the Lens with a serious expression and saying: "Jia Ren, avoid the pit, avoid the pit! This Shop's main tactic is to lure people in with low prices, but what they actually serve customers are garbage Ingredients that who knows how long they've been stored; everyone must recognize this seafood buffet, I truly do not recommend anyone come here."

"Selling Ingredients like this for 88 per person, it's really not as good as going to the Lu Family Restaurant in Jiangcheng; only there will you know what real delicacies should look like!"

"I won't say more, today's video ends here; tomorrow I'll return to Jiangcheng and continue filming the delicious food Boss Lu makes for everyone!"
