Chapter 377: Chapter 155: The Third Floor Is Ready, Crazy Homestyle Cooking

Endless promises were also made, like the chance to stay on and work for the company permanently if they performed well.

Some of the fellow chefs had certainly come out of respect for the two masters, but others were genuinely dissatisfied with their current jobs and thought they might find a new opportunity at Delicious.

Su Chen didn’t say it, but Ling Shuyu knew.

For the third floor to open for business, chefs were the talent they desperately needed. These men were all masters of Lu Cuisine from across the country. Persuading them to stay would be worth it, even at a high price.

Ling Shuyu was arranging for taxis when someone walked into the office.

"Hello? I’m here to report for my first day of work."

Ling Shuyu froze. ’Isn’t this the young woman who spent forty thousand yuan on desserts a while back?’

"Work?"

"Uh-huh. Yesterday, Sister Shengnan from finance told me I could start. She said she’d talk to me about my salary and car expenses, but I haven’t been able to reach her today."

Ling Shuyu paused, then said, "Liu Shengnan pulled an all-nighter yesterday and just went home to rest. You can tell me instead, it’s all the same. Was it Boss Su who hired you?"

"Uh-huh. I’m the company’s driver now!" Zhang Jiayi sounded a little proud as she said it.

When her father heard she was going to be a driver for some company, he almost had a heart attack out of anger. But when he then heard that the company’s boss had helped her gain thirty thousand new followers in a single day, he immediately handed Zhang Jiayi the keys to the garage.

Drive them! Any car in there, take your pick!

"A driver?" Ling Shuyu was taken aback at first, then a feeling told her something interesting was about to happen. "Well, that’s perfect. We have a lot of people to pick up today. You can be in charge of that."

She placed the itinerary for the various chefs on the desk. "The moment you pick up one of our guests, you must return to the company immediately," Ling Shuyu added.

"You got it!" Like any rookie on their first day, Zhang Jiayi was full of drive after getting her first assignment!

She grabbed the itinerary and ran toward the parking lot, thinking, ’I should probably go home and switch cars first. Picking people up in the G-Wagen feels a bit too flashy.’

’Right, I’ll go home and switch cars first!’

With the pickups arranged, it was time for the most important task of all!

When Ling Shuyu had announced the overtime, she had specifically excluded He Shuting. She only told her to be sure to dress up beautifully for work the next day.

And preferably, she should wear her best pair of stockings.

Just then, Ling Shuyu heard He Shuting come through the door.

"Sister Shuyu~ Why’d you ask me to dress up so nicely today?~"

When Ling Shuyu’s gaze fell upon He Shuting, even she, a fellow woman, couldn’t help but stare.

Not only was the young woman gorgeous, but her figure was also absolutely top-notch.

Plus, she had an amazing sense of style—even better than Zhang Jiayi’s!

He Shuting was wearing a long, khaki-colored blazer, the kind with a hem that fell to the very top of her thighs.

Underneath, she presumably wore a pair of shorts, but they were hidden by the blazer, leaving only her straight, shapely legs visible, clad in a pair of tights—the kind from Balenciaga, with the logo print.

The outfit left everything to the imagination, inspiring an impulse to rip the blazer open and see what was underneath.

"You need to record a video today."

Ling Shuyu had also discovered that videos featuring stockings got far more views than food videos.

"No problem!"

"Here’s the script. How you film it is up to you. Just post it to the company’s account when you’re done."

He Shuting took the script and left the office.

The script was simple—so simple it was all substance and no style.

He Shuting quickly recorded a video at the entrance to the third floor.

"Delicious Homestyle Cooking officially opens today at four in the afternoon!~"

"We hope to see you all there!~"

After those two simple lines, He Shuting lifted a leg for the camera and said, "Be sure to come, okay!"

The ten-second video was dripping with allure.

Not long after the video was posted, notifications began flooding in. After all, the Meiweilai Company account now had nearly one hundred thousand followers, and it garnered almost a thousand likes in just a few minutes.

Especially after they saw the stockings.

Although Ling Shuyu was busy working, she noticed the buzz the video was creating. In truth, its main purpose was to send a message to all the streamers and fans still hanging around Jingzhou.

’Delicious’s third floor is opening today, so stop fucking hunting down my Boss Su everywhere!’

President Ling occasionally checked the comments to see the fans’ reactions. But for some reason, despite being a group that clearly loved stockings, they were all acting like perfect gentlemen in the comment section. The content of their discussion left Ling Shuyu a little confused.

The most-liked comment, for instance, said:

"Holy crap, did Boss Su really invent these Cthulhu Soup Dumplings? Why hasn’t he posted a tutorial? I wanna learn!"

Led by this highly-liked comment, a new trending search tag even appeared above the comment section: [Everyone is searching for: Cthulhu Soup Dumplings].

"Holy shit, Cthulhu Soup Dumplings? Is that a name a human being actually came up with?"

"Didn’t you watch Teacher Sui’s video where they speculated about the name’s origin? I’m more curious about the price. Over two hundred yuan for a single dumpling? Is it filled with gold? Even a crab-roe dumpling shouldn’t be that expensive, right?"

"All you doubters need to rewatch the video a few more times, okay? All I want to know is, if I rush over to Jingzhou this afternoon, will I be able to eat one of these Cthulhu dumplings tonight?"
