Chapter 342 - 146: Delicious Is Going to Be a Hit

Chapter 342: Chapter 146: Delicious Is Going to Be a Hit

By all rights, as local socialites, they should have been familiar with all the various high-end establishments in the area.

Especially someone of Su Chen’s extremely high status. Even if they’d never had the chance to meet him, they certainly should have heard of him.

Duoduo spoke with a skeptical expression, "If you ask me, Boss Su is a master who keeps an incredibly low profile. Just think about it—he has so many impressive titles, yet he’s out there running a stall on Pedestrian Street. Does that make any sense?"

Zhou Ya shook her head. "It doesn’t."

"Exactly!" It was as if a lightbulb had gone off for Duoduo. "He’s that incredible, yet he still runs a street stall. It means Boss Su is past chasing things like money and fame. What he’s pursuing is a different, more profound state of being!"

Jiang Lan looked thoughtful. After a moment, she nodded and said, "I think so, too. Someone on the level of a National Banquet Chef, actually running a street stall selling home-style dishes... That kind of behavior is simply beyond our understanding!"

After some discussion, the four of them reached a common conclusion.

This company’s Boss Su had to be a man who scoffed at wealth and fame!

Why else would someone of his status be running a street stall?

Why else, with his status, would he face an audience of hundreds of thousands of fans on a livestream and not promote himself at all?

He didn’t even ask his fans to send gifts or anything.

He was clearly on a completely different plane of existence!

And as for our transcendent Boss Su... well, at this very moment...

"Don’t forget to collect the service fee from them. Four thousand isn’t a small sum."

Liu Shengnan happily clutched the ledger. "Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll make sure there are no mistakes when it comes to collecting the money."

Su Chen nodded. "How’s the livestream doing?"

He might not plan on streaming himself, but that didn’t mean the company couldn’t!

In this day and age, livestreaming was a great marketing channel. As long as it didn’t become the company’s lifeblood, there was no major problem with it.

"140,000 followers! We gained 140,000 followers today, in just that short amount of time!" He Shuting was probably the most excited person there. "Brother Ah Bao is going to be stunned when he gets back, haha!"

Ling Shuyu, on the other hand, sounded a bit exasperated.

"Among these one hundred and forty thousand followers, our few cooking videos don’t have very high view counts."

"Oh?"

Ling Shuyu sighed. "The videos He Shuting filmed before all have very high view counts."

Damn!

Su Chen opened his phone and checked the account dashboard. The first three videos had been filmed when Lu Yongliang visited.

At the time, Su Chen had figured that as long as he was the first to do it, he wouldn’t care if others later copied his cooking techniques.

But in reality, absolutely no one copied him, because it was impossible for anyone else to replicate his skills!

Those three videos only had a few hundred likes each.

But what about the videos after those?

The screen was filled with thigh-highs, and almost without exception, they all had over ten thousand likes!

One video in particular, featuring He Shuting in a maid outfit and using a cutesy voice, had reached a staggering 150,000 likes!

’Bunch of pervs, aren’t you?’

Su Chen tossed his phone aside. "We can take our time with the livestreaming. It can’t be a priority project for the company."

Ling Shuyu agreed with that assessment.

She was a bit like Su Chen in that regard; neither of them was fond of making quick cash from viral trends. She always felt that earning money through one’s own abilities was the only proper way!

Trends come and go, but skill is forever.

"A few days ago, Chen the Eighth mentioned something about the Snack Shop. Shuyu, you can start looking into that."

"Hm?" Ling Shuyu didn’t quite understand what Su Chen meant.

"Of course, making everything to today’s standard would be pure fantasy, but it’s achievable if we lower the standards a bit," Su Chen said, thinking aloud. "The renovations on the 32nd and 3rd floors are almost finished. Once the sports meet is over, we can put this on the agenda."

Now that he put it that way, Ling Shuyu understood.

"If we dedicate an entire floor just to making pastries, won’t our staffing be..."

Su Chen waved a finger. "I’m confident you can solve those problems."

Ngh...

Ling Shuyu suddenly felt a flush of heat spread through her body, and her forehead beaded with sweat.

’The boss has given me his complete trust; I have to deliver results that go above and beyond!’

’Thank you for your trust, Boss!’

Although she didn’t say these words aloud, Ling Shuyu stood a little taller, her chest puffed out with pride.

She looked a bit like a model student receiving an award at an assembly.

"Because of today’s livestream, I imagine things are going to be hectic for the company for a while. For the Chinese pastry orders, use the price we charged Zhang Jiayi’s group as the benchmark. We won’t take anything with a budget below that, period."

This was music to Liu Shengnan’s ears.

Since a 20,000 yuan fee was included for watching Su Chen cook, the price was temporarily set at that 20,000 yuan standard. ℯℯ𝘭.

The policy was simple: take it or leave it.

"Other orders will follow the same standard; we won’t take anything for less than twenty thousand. And until those two floors are done with renovations, running the stall on Pedestrian Street remains our most important task for now."

The employees exchanged glances.

In truth, after today’s order, they had rediscovered that old feeling—working hard for two or three days on a single job that brought in tens of thousands all at once!

It was an incredible feeling!

Running the stall on Pedestrian Street had originally been Liu Shengnan’s suggestion, and everyone had assumed the boss was just doing it to solve their problems during the shutdown.

Who would have thought that the boss himself would get so into it!

But since Su Chen had spoken, the employees certainly couldn’t object.

The brief meeting concluded.

After shooing all the employees out of his office, Su Chen leaned back in his chair, humming a little tune.
