Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"It seems that guiding others to think in the direction of cheap dish prices through speech is a technical job."

Lu Feng recalled the reactions of the diners just now, muttering to himself.

After receiving this system task, he felt his pricing was quite fair, and the diners should think his prices were cheap.

But today he discovered that making ordinary diners agree to this was also a matter of how to guide them correctly.

Although what An Liang said today increased his task progress by two.

But Lu Feng always felt something was off in his heart.

He didn't want the diners to think that the cheap prices of his dishes were achieved by comparing them with high-end restaurants.

This was not his original intention for opening the shop.

Lu Feng took out his mobile phone, swiped his finger on the screen a few times, searched for an e-book titled "The Art of Speaking," and read it with a serious expression.

At this time usually, he should have been packing ingredients and preparing to return to the villa to rest.

But today, for the system task, he began to study the art of speaking.

Lu Feng read books quickly; at a speed of ten lines at a glance, he had already read more than half of the e-book on his mobile phone in no time.

"What the book says makes some sense, but it's still a bit difficult to actually put into practice."

Lu Feng frowned and muttered softly.

"Boss, are you encountering some trouble? Maybe I can help you."

A clear voice sounded from behind Lu Feng, bringing him back to his senses abruptly.

Lu Feng subconsciously closed his mobile phone screen, turned his head to look, and saw Hu Xiaoyun standing at the kitchen door, still holding a rag in her hand, apparently having just finished cleaning the hall.

Lu Feng composed himself, soon regained his usual composure on his face, shook his head, and said in a natural tone: "No need, it's nothing important."

He did not intend to let Hu Xiaoyun know that he was racking his brains to study how to make diners sincerely say that the dishes in his shop were cheap.

After all, it sounded a bit too strange.

"Oh, oh, then you're fine?"

Hu Xiaoyun's tone was full of concern: "I saw you at the door just now, you seemed troubled, frowning one moment and scratching your head the next."

"It's fine, I'm thinking about new dishes for the shop later."

Lu Feng smiled and made up an excuse with a serious expression.

"I see."

Hu Xiaoyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on her face dispersed, and she showed a look of anticipation: "Then you think slowly, I won't disturb you from continuing to think. I've finished cleaning the hall, I'll go back to my roommate's house first."

"Mm, be careful on the road, pay attention to safety."

Lu Feng nodded and reminded her.

"Okay, Boss, goodbye, see you tomorrow!"

Hu Xiaoyun smiled and answered, then walked out of the shop with light steps.

Lu Feng stood at the kitchen door, watching Hu Xiaoyun's back disappear at the door, and slowly withdrew his gaze.

He lowered his head to look at his mobile phone; the screen still stayed on the chapter he hadn't finished reading just now.

Although he had read more than half of the book, he always felt that the content in the book didn't seem to help him complete the task much.

Lu Feng was no longer in the mood to continue reading, so he simply put his mobile phone into his pocket and began to pack things.

Forget it, think of a way tomorrow anyway; this system task has no time limit, and there's no need to rush.

After locking the shop door, Lu Feng walked to the parking lot, opened the car door, and got into the Maybach.

The car slowly drove out of Food Street, heading toward Yunding Huating Villa.

…………

Tuesday, five o'clock in the afternoon.

At the entrance of Lu Family Restaurant, as usual, it was already crowded with diners.

Hu Xiaoyun walked into the hall of Lu Family Restaurant on time, put down the bamboo basket on her back, stood at the shop entrance, and began to greet the diners outside to queue up.

"Xiao Yun, come here for a moment."

Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen and called out to Hu Xiaoyun at the door.

"Coming!"

Hu Xiaoyun immediately answered and ran over to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng didn't rush to give orders; he turned around and walked behind the counter, taking out a stack of A4-sized paper from the drawer below.

Hu Xiaoyun's gaze was immediately attracted to it.

Although the paper in Lu Feng's hand was A4 size, it was not ordinary document paper, but much thicker, with bright patterns and dense text printed on it.

These were printed by Lu Feng at a roadside print shop before coming to Food Street this afternoon.

But when Hu Xiaoyun's gaze fell on the stack of paper in his hand, she felt a bit uneasy in her heart.

She remembered that when chatting with diners before, someone said that Lu Feng used to take leave and close the shop by printing a leave notice on a single A4 paper and secretly posting it on the gate.

Now Lu Boss had such a thick stack of paper in his hand, estimated to be at least dozens of sheets.

How long of a leave was he planning to take?

Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help but secretly glance outside the door.

The diners outside were now queuing in order, each face beaming with long-awaited anticipation.

If this leave notice gets posted in a moment, won't these diners immediately blow up?

Don't know if those emotionally agitated diners will surround and beat me in a moment.

The more Hu Xiaoyun thought, the more nervous she became, looking at Lu Feng from time to time with a conflicted expression.

Lu Feng's perception had originally been strengthened by the system, becoming extremely sharp.

From the first time Hu Xiaoyun secretly looked at him, he had already noticed the expression on her face was a bit off.

However Lu Feng initially didn't pay attention, until Hu Xiaoyun looked at him five or six times, then he couldn't help but ask with some puzzlement: "What's wrong?"

"Boss, are you planning to ask for leave?"

Hu Xiaoyun took a deep breath, steadied her mind, then carefully asked.

"Ask for leave?"

Lu Feng frowned slightly, not understanding why Hu Xiaoyun would have such an idea.

"Mhm, are you planning to ask for a very long leave this time? This stack of leave notices is too many, right?"

Hu Xiaoyun's gaze again fell on the stack of paper in Lu Feng's hand, saying with a conflicted expression.

In her eyes, that thick stack of paper, every sheet should be Lu Feng's leave notice.

Just this quantity is truly a bit exaggerated.

"Oh, not asking for leave."

Lu Feng shook his head and said.

Although the current system task doesn't limit the time to complete the task.

However Lu Feng also doesn't plan to run the shop sporadically.

"Boss you're not asking for leave? That's great, then it's fine."

Hu Xiaoyun instantly let out a breath of relief, her tense shoulders instantly relaxed, she reached out and patted her chest, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

She was just worrying how to explain to the diners outside in a moment.

Didn't expect it was just a false alarm.

"You look at this first."

Lu Feng shook his head, didn't pay attention to Hu Xiaoyun's reaction, handed the stack of paper in his hand to Hu Xiaoyun.

The relieved Hu Xiaoyun acknowledged, reached out and took it.

She lowered her head and glanced twice, the expression on her face immediately changed.

Hu Xiaoyun continued looking, the more she looked the wider her eyes stared, her mouth also involuntarily opened.
