Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Han Lu's eyes lit up, and she quickly gestured to the cameraman beside her to start recording.

She herself took out a small notebook and quickly wrote notes on it with a pen, then asked the girl: "Little girl, you're a regular at Lu Boss's shop, right? Can you tell us specifically how the Boss makes those dishes?"

"I don't know exactly how they're made, but they really taste delicious!"

The girl couldn't help but lick her lips, seemingly savoring the feeling of eating at Lu Feng's place before.

"Not just these two dishes, every dish Lu Boss makes tastes amazing! You can't get them at other restaurants!"

"That's right! The taste of the Boss's soup dumplings can make your jaw drop!"

"Comrade reporter, everything we're saying is true! I didn't believe it when I first heard it, but ever since I tasted Lu Boss's cooking, I finally realized there's such delicious food in this world!"

"My home is quite far from Food Street, but if I don't eat something Lu Boss made every day, I can't even sleep well at night!"

……

More and more diners gathered around, everyone speaking at once, loudly praising Lu Feng's cooking skills.

Han Lu's pen flew across her notebook as she took notes, and the more she listened, the more incredible she found it.

She never expected that this small shop, which didn't look very large, would be so popular on Food Street.

"What you're saying isn't anything special! I also discovered something particularly amazing!"

A round figure suddenly squeezed through the crowd; it was Zhu Chang, who had just come out from home.

He patted his still fleshy belly and said excitedly: "I've been coming to Lu Boss's place to eat every day for these past two weeks. Yesterday when I weighed myself back home, I had lost a full ten jin! Lu Boss's food can make you thinner the more you eat!"

Hearing him say this, Han Lu's hand, which had been taking notes, paused.

Food that makes you thinner the more you eat?

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

Wasn't that a bit exaggerated? Surely it wasn't made up just to promote the Boss, right?

But before she could open her mouth to ask, Zhang Xianyang also squeezed through the crowd, speaking in a very serious tone.

"Not only that, there's a little girl in our hospital who has had anorexia for several months and couldn't eat anything. Recently her condition suddenly improved greatly. When asked, it turned out she had eaten something Lu Boss made. This has never happened in medical history; it's simply a miracle!"

Han Lu listened with her mouth wide open.

She had already felt the person who just said you get thinner the more you eat was a bit exaggerated.

What this person was saying now sounded even more outrageous!

Just how delicious is the food this Lu Boss makes?

Even anorexia patients can't resist it?

But she couldn't bother verifying it now and hurriedly continued taking notes.

These were all ready-made materials for the interview later; she would ask Lu Feng one by one when he arrived.

Then wouldn't the gimmick be there?

If all this were true, then when the program aired, maybe her show's viewership rating could really become number one at the station.

Wang Mo listened beside him with his eyelids twitching. What these diners were saying was getting more and more outrageous. He couldn't help but interject: "What you're saying is too mystical, isn't it? Eating a meal can make you lose weight and even cure anorexia? Is this Lu Boss an immortal?"

As soon as he said this, someone immediately became unhappy.

"Bro, you haven't eaten Lu Boss's food, so please don't question blindly. If you don't believe it, just try it once. You'll know whether it's true or false then."

Zhu Chang couldn't help but glare at Wang Mo, speaking in a very serious tone.

After saying that, he no longer bothered with Wang Mo, but turned to Han Lu, who was taking notes seriously, and continued excitedly to talk nonstop.

The diners around got more and more lively. Wang Mo stood in the crowd, listening to these somewhat fantastical praises in his ears, and also began to feel half-believing and half-doubting in his heart.

Could it be that the food made by this Boss named Lu Feng was really that amazing?

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Lu Boss is here!"

Everyone immediately turned to look toward the Food Street parking lot, only to see Lu Feng holding a huge food ingredient box, slowly walking toward the shop.

"Director Wang, hurry up and get ready!"

Han Lu quickly closed her notebook, tugged at Wang Mo's arm, and said somewhat urgently: "Lu Boss is already here. We can't miss this interview opportunity again!"

Wang Mo took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing his dissatisfaction and confusion in his heart.

No matter how outrageous what these diners said just now was, when the interview was conducted later, he would definitely be able to ask out the truth.

"Let's go."

He nodded and took the lead walking toward Lu Feng, while Han Lu and the cameraman quickly followed.

"Lu Boss, you're finally here!"

Wang Mo quickly walked up to Lu Feng and stopped, extending his right hand proactively, with a professional smile on his face: "Let me introduce myself again, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Feng frowned and interrupted: "Sorry, please let us pass."

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Was this person's eyesight bad?

Didn't he see he was holding such a big food ingredient box? Where would he have an extra hand to shake hands with him?

Without waiting for Wang Mo to react, Lu Feng had already gone around him, smiling at the diners gathered at the door, and greeting those familiar old customers one by one.

Wang Mo stood frozen in place, his outstretched right hand still hanging in midair.

"Director Wang, hurry up and go!"

Han Lu behind him patted his shoulder, her tone urgent, pointing at Lu Feng's back as he was about to enter the shop and said loudly.

Wang Mo only then snapped back to his senses, violently shaking his head, suppressing the embarrassment from just now.

The three walked quickly toward the shop; the diners at the door knew they had come for an interview, so no one stopped them from queuing outside.

Upon entering the shop, Wang Mo plastered a smile back onto his face.

No matter how unwilling he felt inside, right now he had to endure it.

After all, this was an interview mission personally approved by the Chief Editor; if he botched it again, it was hard to say whether he could even keep his position as a director.

"Lu Boss, we are from the Jiangcheng Television Station 'Late Night Food' Program Group; my name is Wang Mo."

Wang Mo walked quickly to the kitchen door, facing the Lu Feng inside and said loudly, his tone obviously much more polite compared to last time: "We came today still wanting to discuss with you, hoping you can let us film some footage of the cooking process."

Lu Feng was busy in the kitchen taking ingredients out of boxes; hearing this, he didn't even lift his head once: "Didn't you come yesterday? I remember I refused you yesterday."

"Perhaps I didn't explain our program's advantages clearly to you yesterday."

Wang Mo moved forward a bit, not minding Lu Feng's attitude at all, and spoke with a very confident tone: "Our program is a very popular food program on Jiangcheng Television Station; every restaurant that has appeared on our program has become booming without exception. I think for you, Lu Boss, this is a rare publicity opportunity."
