Protagonist:

Lu Feng

The message had been sent for less than two seconds when Hu Xiaoyun replied instantly: "Boss, will the shop's business hours be this time from now on? Can I tell those customers?"

"Yes." Lu Feng replied.

Now that the business hours have already been fixed, there is no need to notify them only when the time is approaching like before.

"Great, Boss! Then I'll notify the customers in the group right now!"

Hu Xiaoyun hung up the phone happily and immediately opened the "Lu Boss Business Notice Group".

There are now over five hundred diners in the group.

As the sole spokesperson for Lu Family Restaurant in the group, this staff member Hu Xiaoyun's status in the group is even higher than Zhao Zhenhui the group owner.

Ever since she joined this group, she has become the publicly recognized official spokesperson in the group.

Every time she sends a message in the group, no matter how lively the group is, everyone will consciously stop and wait for her to finish sending the message.

Hu Xiaoyun held her mobile phone, fingers typing rapidly.

"Major notice! From now on, Lu Family Restaurant will operate every Monday to Friday, fixed at 6 PM to 8 PM every evening! If there are special circumstances changing business hours, we will notify in the group in advance. From now on, everyone doesn't have to go that early on Mondays."

The moment the message was sent, the group, which had been discussing the weekend's two-day online war of words, instantly quieted down.

Immediately after, the group was flooded with messages from diners.

"Holy crap! For real? From now on, we finally don't have to guess Lu Boss's business hours on Mondays?"

The first to jump out was Zhu Chang.

He was just preparing to go downstairs to squat at the Lu Family Restaurant door; seeing Hu Xiaoyun's message, he immediately turned around and went back home.

"Ah, from now on I finally don't have to wait a whole day!"

Next to jump out was Scalper Uncle, immediately sending a laughing-out-loud emoji pack: "Before, for Monday to squat for Lu Boss's business hours, I brought a folding stool and waited at the shop door from morning, but Lu Boss only opened for business at night. That time I nearly got heatstroke under the sun!"

"From now on it's all 6 PM to 8 PM business hours? Is one day only operating two hours a bit too short?"

A diner couldn't help but complain while being happy.

"Be content! Although two hours is short, if you come a bit earlier you can still get a number. Most importantly, from now on we can also eat Lu Boss's cooking on Mondays! Before on Monday when I got the message, by the time I rushed over there was already a super long queue!"

"The 6 PM to 8 PM time slot is good. I get off work at 5 PM every day, just right to make it to Lu Boss's shop for a meal!"

"Yeah, from now on we finally don't have to worry about Lu Boss changing business hours to some other time slot! This month I've asked for leave several times, my supervisor looks at me with weird eyes now! From now on I can eat Lu Boss's delicious food without asking for leave!"

Messages in the group scrolled extremely fast; in less than a minute, several pages of messages were scrolled.

"Sigh, from now on, is the first-to-report Lu Boss business hours big red packet on Mondays also gone? I still haven't grabbed it once, what a pity."

After the diners' excitement in the group eased a bit, someone brought up the "First Report Red Packet" Zhao Zhenhui sent every Monday before.

Before, whenever Lu Feng changed business hours each week, Zhao Zhenhui would send a one thousand yuan red packet to the first person in the group to notify Lu Feng's business hours.

Now that business hours are fixed, this red packet naturally won't exist anymore.

Quite a few people in the group stared at this red packet every Monday.

"Although there's no First Report Red Packet anymore, compared to fixed hours, that doesn't count for much!"

Scalper Uncle immediately chimed in: "The past few weeks, to snatch that red packet, I sat for half a day, exhausted with sore waist and back pain. From now on I can finally rest!"

At this moment, two large-amount red packets suddenly popped up in the group.

The ones sending red packets were precisely Zhao Zhenhui and Qian Laoban.

The red packet notes read: "Celebrating Lu Boss fixing business hours, everyone be happy together!"

Immediately after, the second, the third...

Red packets popped up in succession; Zhao Zhenhui and Qian Laoban each sent ten red packets in the group in one go.

The group instantly boiled over, everyone joining the red packet snatching queue; even Hu Xiaoyun snatched over a hundred yuan.

"Boss Zhao is generous! Boss Qian is generous! Money for eating at Lu Boss's shop today is settled, hahaha!"

"Thanks to the two bosses! Is this compensation for everyone because there's no First Report Red Packet anymore?"

Zhao Zhenhui quickly sent a message in the group: "From now on business hours are fixed. Although the First Report Red Packet is gone, I will send ten red packets in the group every Monday, as thanks for everyone's support for Lu Boss all along."

Qian Laoban, unwilling to be outdone, immediately followed with a message: "Me too!"

"The two bosses are generous!"

"Thanks to the two big shots! This group I won't quit for a lifetime!"

"Thanks Lu Boss! Thanks Boss Zhao! Thanks Boss Qian!"

The group instantly erupted in cheers,

Some diners who originally felt the group had too many messages and had turned on Do Not Disturb mode.

By the time they discovered those twenty red packets in the group, the red packets had already been snatched clean.

Looking at those screenshots in the group showing off snatching dozens to hundreds of yuan in red packets, their intestines turned green with regret one by one.

One moment of carelessness, and they missed out on several hundred million!

Immediately after, they silently turned off Do Not Disturb and even pinned the group chat.

…………

Last Friday at 10 PM, Jiangcheng Television Station's "Late Night Food" program aired on time.

This is the final episode of the documentary series about Lu Family Restaurant.

That night, in the living rooms or bedrooms of many households in Jiang City, the TV screens reflected Lu Feng's focused figure cooking in the small shop.

Although after the series aired, controversial voices online grew louder and louder, this did not affect the program's viewership ratings,

The audience for this late-night program was more complex than the program group's backstage statistics showed.

Not only were there diners who had eaten at Lu Feng's shop, but also foodies who enjoyed late-night self-torture, middle-aged people who liked watching folk culinary skills, and even many elderly people killing loneliness.

According to data later compiled by Jiangcheng Television Station, this episode of "Late Night Food" once again broke the previous highest viewership rating record.

Now "Late Night Food" had successfully surpassed the legal affairs program aired in prime time, becoming Jiangcheng Television Station's highest-rated program.

From this it could be seen that this originally very niche late-night program had already successfully broken out of its circle relying on the Lu Family Restaurant's series of content.

However, as the program aired, controversies came along with the popularity, increasing more and more.
