Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Lu Feng said nothing more, turned around, and closed the shop's door.

The moment the door closed, the diners' chatter instantly quieted down.

Lu Feng's action made their hearts rise with it.

Lu Boss just arrived at the shop and is already leaving—could it be that those two fellows angered him, and he doesn't plan to operate today?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were filled with anger and resentment, all looking at the bespectacled man and the braised food shop owner.

If looks could kill, these two would probably be burned to ashes on the spot.

The bespectacled man and the braised food shop owner felt a chill down their backs, quickly stood up, and hid inside the braised food shop.

"Lu Boss, are you... still operating today?"

Zhu Chang moved forward two steps, his round chubby face full of nervous expression, asking somewhat anxiously.

The other diners also nervously waited for Lu Feng's answer.

Not being able to eat Lu Feng's food these two days of the weekend, they could only rely on the "Late Night Food" program to quench their thirst.

Finally waiting until Monday, if Lu Boss doesn't operate today.

For foodies, it would absolutely be a huge loss.

"No, operating as usual today, I'll go to the Street Office first."

Lu Feng's expression returned to its usual gentleness, soothingly saying to the crowd gathering around.

"Phew—"

Zhu Chang let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest: "You scared me, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat Lu Boss's food today!"

He turned to look at that tech-filled vending machine, feeling it was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it, then frowned, speaking in a dissatisfied tone: "Lu Boss, you go, just ask those people at the Street Office what they're eating! How could they agree to let this kind of person put a vending machine at your shop entrance? Isn't this affecting everyone's appetite?"

"Exactly, ask them properly how they do things!"

"Lu Boss, go with peace of mind, we'll keep watch here, guaranteeing no one comes to cause trouble at the door!"

These diners were all Lu Feng's loyal fans, all standing on Lu Feng's side.

"Mm, I'll go first then."

Lu Feng looked at these diners standing up for him, his heart warmed a little, he nodded to everyone, then turned and left the shop.

Lu Feng walked on the road to the Street Office, the bespectacled man's sarcastic voice still echoing in his ears.

Although that vending machine didn't affect the shop's business, he couldn't stand the other party's smug look.

Although this matter wasn't big, it couldn't be ignored.

Since he opened the shop, he had also learned about various businesses.

As far as he knew, placing equipment like vending machines in street public areas required permission from the Street Office.

Turning out from Food Street, passing through a small alley, not far away was the Garden Road Street Office.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of Food Street, this side was much quieter.

Lu Feng arrived at the Street Office and pushed the door to enter.

The Garden Road Street Office was similar to a general office hall, the storefront wasn't considered large.

At the reception desk at the door, the one responsible for reception was a little girl with a ponytail, currently lowering her head organizing documents.

"Hello, may I ask what you need to handle..."

The little girl heard the movement at the door, raised her head and saw Lu Feng walking in, her eyes instantly lit up: "Lu Boss? How do you have time to come today?"

"Hello, is Director Cao in?"

Lu Feng walked to the reception desk, asking with a somewhat serious tone.

The little girl saw his stern expression, realizing Lu Feng must have encountered some problem.

She immediately put away her earlier ease, quickly stood up: "Director is in the office, I'll take you to find him."

"Thank you."

Lu Feng nodded, following behind the little girl toward the inside.

If it were someone else coming to the Street Office, the little girl wouldn't directly take someone to see Director Cao.

After all, he is a leader; if just anyone was taken to see him, wouldn't this director be exhausted to death every day.

According to normal procedure, wanting to see Director Cao.

The little girl had to first ask clearly the matter, then register information, then call the director to confirm, only then having a chance to see him.

Going through this whole procedure, without ten or so minutes one couldn't see him.

And now for Lu Feng, all these steps were waived.

The little girl didn't even ask what the matter was, directly taking Lu Feng to see Director Cao.

The reason was actually very simple.

On one hand, because everyone in this Street Office was a regular customer at Lu Feng's shop.

On the other hand, Lu Feng's shop was now the hottest shop in Food Street, without exception.

It could be said that Food Street became livelier than before, all thanks to Lu Feng's shop bringing in a large number of customers.

Before Lu Feng's shop opened, there weren't so many people on Food Street.

Many shops were about to close down, with shops closing and transferring every few days.

Until Lu Feng's shop opened, this month's customer flow directly tripled compared to before.

The Lu Family Restaurant these days was a star shop on Food Street.

Director Cao had even specially mentioned at this month's regular meeting that the Lu Family Restaurant was Food Street's golden signboard, and that if there was anything they needed to cooperate on in the future, they must try their best to satisfy it.

After all, Lu Feng had single-handedly driven the prosperity of Garden Road Food Street.

Therefore receiving some courtesy was only natural.

The little girl led Lu Feng to the door of Director Cao's office and knocked lightly twice: "Director Cao, Boss Lu is here, looking for you on business."

"Coming, coming."

A hearty and ruthless voice immediately came from inside the office, and then the door was pulled open from within.

"Boss Lu, why did you come? Let me tell you, I drank a bowl of porridge this morning, and I still haven't eaten lunch yet, just waiting for your shop to open to go eat at your place! What time do you open this week?"

Director Cao, in his forties, looked at Lu Feng with a smile, asking with an urgent tone.

Lu Feng saw the genuine greed in Director Cao's eyes and couldn't help but smile: "This week we're open every day from one to three in the afternoon. When the shop opens, Director Cao, if you're not busy, you can come over to taste it. Today there's a new dish."

"Good, good, good, I'll definitely go!"

Director Cao took out his mobile phone, opened the memo/notes, and his fingers flew as he recorded Lu Feng's business hours for this week on his mobile phone.

"Boss Lu, did you come to see me today about something?"

While saying this, he enthusiastically pulled Lu Feng into the office and instructed the little girl outside the door: "Little Sun, go brew a cup of tea for Boss Lu."

"Okay, Director, coming right away."

The little girl responded and was about to turn around and leave.

"Director Cao, no need to be so polite."

Lu Feng waved his hand to refuse, saying calmly: "I just came to tell you something; after I say it I still have to go back to the shop to prepare for business."
