Lu Feng

"Ding!"

A crisp text message notification sound came from the glasses-wearing man's mobile phone.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the screen; looking at the deposit notification displayed on it, the corner of his mouth revealed a smug smile.

What he just said about "supermarket ordering" and "being scolded by the manager" were all lies he fabricated.

There was no such thing at all.

Even the leader, upon learning he had cleared out that much inventory from the warehouse in one go, had praised him yesterday.

The reason he came over today to say all this.

Was entirely because he saw the boss lady's sales explode here yesterday, so he deliberately raised the price wanting to make an extra profit.

This trick of his wasn't the first time he'd used it; every time he managed to skim quite a bit from it.

First lure merchants into cooperating with him at a low price; once the other party's sales picked up, when they came to order again later, he'd fabricate a reason to raise the wholesale price.

As for the extra difference, it naturally went into the glasses-wearing man's own pocket.

The money made this way was quite a bit higher than his monthly salary and bonus combined.

After collecting the money, the glasses-wearing man was delighted in his heart; the purpose of this trip could be considered achieved.

Outside the door, two young people finished selling drinks by the vending machine and walked away laughing and chatting.

Seeing this, the glasses-wearing man hurriedly said: "Sis, let's go out and take a look at that vending machine, and while we're at it walk around the side; our drinks sold a bit thanks to that kid's reflected light, we should go check the movement on his side, also don't know if he sells drinks there, in case he snatches our business later."

The worry in his words was fake; actually he just wanted to get close to Lu Feng and show his face, to give him some displeasure.

Yesterday so many drinks were sold; upon seeing Lu Feng in person he had to mock him a few more sentences.

Who told him to refuse himself back then?

For any opportunity to disgust Lu Feng, the glasses-wearing man didn't want to let a single one slip by.

The boss lady had just paid several thousand more yuan, and originally her heart was aching over it.

Hearing the glasses-wearing man's words, she immediately perked up too: "You're right, maybe by now drinks have sold quite a few more, perfect chance to see if we need to restock."

For the glasses-wearing man's suggestion to go wander over to Lu Feng's side, she also agreed very much.

Anyway the conflict was between the two of them, had nothing to do with herself.

Not going over there where there's a show to watch, she was still very proactive.

The two people walked out of the braised food shop one after another, arriving at the vending machine not far from the entrance.

The boss lady went over and tapped on the machine, but discovered the inventory was still very sufficient.

"What's going on, how come still not many people buying drinks?"

Her brows furrowed again, and she couldn't help muttering a sentence.

The glasses-wearing man also went over to take a look, and felt some puzzlement in his heart too, but on his mouth he still said soothingly: "Sis, didn't you just say it yourself, right now that kid hasn't started business yet, few buyers is very normal, yesterday wasn't it also after he opened for business that our drinks started selling?"

The boss lady nodded after hearing this: "That's true, estimate after a while quite a few people will come buy."

"So sis you don't rush first, look how good your position is, right next to the biggest customer flow on this Food Street, as long as customers going to his place to eat want to drink beverages, the first thing they think of is our vending machine, do you still need to worry about drinks not selling?"

The glasses-wearing man wore a smiling face, speaking with a very certain tone.

"Right right right, not rushing not rushing, yesterday's sales volume is sitting right there, today definitely won't be bad!"

The boss lady was coaxed by these words into beaming with joy, speaking with a tone full of complacency.

The glasses-wearing man's gaze looked toward Lu Feng's shop entrance, and suddenly discovered quite a few people pointing and discussing at the small blackboard placed at that shop entrance, feeling some curiosity in his heart.

"Sis, what's written on that blackboard placed at that entrance? I see so many people discussing it."

He pointed toward Lu Feng's shop and asked.

The boss lady knew what he was talking about, and shook her head indifferently: "Hah! Nothing much, also don't know what that kid's brain is thinking, today he came and at the entrance set up some 'Warm Reminder', telling customers not to drink beverages, saying it affects physical health, also saying afraid it affects the texture of eating his shop's food, clearly aimed at us, he still thinks everyone will listen to him, you say laughable or not?"

She repeated the content on the small blackboard at Lu Feng's shop entrance that she saw just now, completely and entirely.

After finishing, of course she didn't forget to express a round of her own views, feeling Lu Feng was thinking too naively.

"Hahaha! After all that fuss, he only came up with this lousy move? I still thought this kid had some great ability!"

The glasses-wearing man couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing: "Is he thinking too highly of himself? Thinking everyone has to listen to his words? He says don't drink beverages and people really won't drink beverages? Truly funny, don't end up driving away his own customers in the end, then he'll have tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it!"

The two were talking enthusiastically, when suddenly they heard footsteps coming from behind them.

Zhao Zhenhui and Qian Laoban, the two of them, abruptly appeared behind the two of them.

"This vending machine was placed here by you guys?"

Qian Laoban's gaze swept over the vending machine, asking with a careless smile.

The boss lady turned her head to look; these two people were dressed very smartly, the Qian Laoban on the right even wore a glittering gold watch on his hand, and a greenish ring on his finger.

The clothing, dress, and bearing of these two, at a glance were completely different from those ordinary diners.

She instantly perked up, piling a warm smile on her face to greet them: "Yes! It's mine! What do the two bosses want to drink? My machine has every kind of beverage!"

The boss lady could tell, these two were both big bosses.

This kind of people are all masters who aren't short of money; maybe in one breath they could buy out all her drinks.

Qian Laoban smiled and shook his head: "No need, beverages this thing, I never drink them."

"Then boss you can also buy some, take them back for your company's employees to drink!"

The boss lady still said enthusiastically; these two big financial backers she really didn't want to let go easily.

Qian Laoban didn't acknowledge her, his gaze swept over the two of them, and with a change of topic asked: "I just heard the meaning in you two's words, is that you feel Lu Boss's 'Warm Reminder' at the entrance has no use?"

"Of course! Just someone running a small restaurant, and he really takes himself seriously? Who would listen to him?"

The bespectacled man spoke with a face full of disdain, saying it without the slightest politeness.

He vaguely guessed in his heart that these two people before him had come to back Lu Feng up.

But he wasn't worried in the slightest.

This automatic vending machine was placed here with the Street Office's permission.

Besides, it's a harmonious society now; he didn't believe these two could do anything to him.

"Very good."

Qian Laoban didn't get angry after hearing it either, chuckling as he said: "Wait until Lu Boss starts business later, don't leave — there'll be a good show to watch."

"Good show? What good show?"

The bespectacled man asked with a frown, a face full of puzzlement.
