Brush Up Your Proficiency

As Cheng Yufei drove closer to the restaurant, she saw a group of people lining up in the distance.

At first, she thought some business was running a promotion and giving away eggs again.

However, upon closer inspection, she noticed that these people were all well-dressed and refined, not the type to go to great lengths for a few free eggs.

Then, she guessed that perhaps a celebrity's merchandise was going on sale, attracting many fans to line up early in the morning to purchase it.

But as her car got closer and closer to her restaurant, she finally saw the truth—these people were not star-struck fans, but rather the esteemed customers coming to dine at Shi Wei Tian!

Cheng Yufei looked at the scene before her with some shock, because she had never seen customers lining up in long queues because the restaurant was not open yet, and moreover, this was her own restaurant!

Originally feeling a little tired from not getting enough beauty sleep, Cheng Yufei instantly perked up.

She parked her car, struck a pose as if deep in thought with her eyes closed, then deliberately turned on her phone and played the classic song "How Lonely is Invincible" as background music, and intentionally slowed her pace, stepping out of the car with an elegant and confident air.

Under the gaze of the queuing customers, she walked into the store with her head held high and her chest out. At this moment, she finally understood why swans always raise their heads so high, appearing so proud and aloof, because this feeling of arrogance was indeed quite enjoyable.

As soon as she entered the store, Cheng Yufei saw that the employees were already busy, everything was in order, which made her nod in satisfaction, thinking: "I'll continue to give out bonuses tonight!"

"Boss, you're here! I've already posted the video of the grand opening day. Have you seen it?" Ma Yang hurried to greet Cheng Yufei as soon as he saw her.

Since the restaurant's opening, Ma Yang had started working in the restaurant, firstly to collect video material more conveniently, and secondly to be able to eat Wang Hao's cooking at any time. The second point was the driving force behind his work.

"You posted it so quickly! Your efficiency is quite impressive, I didn't misjudge you!" Cheng Yufei nodded to Ma Yang, expressing her approval.

Ma Yang said with a smile: "Hehe, I know this video is very time-sensitive, so I edited it early in the morning."

"Not bad, not bad, you did a great job. By the way, I haven't had time to watch it yet," Cheng Yufei said, picking up her phone to take a look.

After returning home last night, she didn't spend much time on her phone before going to bed. It could only be said that work had made her disciplined, so she hadn't watched the video that Ma Yang had edited.

Cheng Yufei swiped her finger and entered the video platform of their restaurant.

The video showed a scene of prosperity and vitality, with laughter rising and falling, and customers praising the delicious food.

In order to avoid being perceived as an intentionally created effect, Ma Yang deliberately chose a discreet filming method, making the entire video more authentic and natural.

This unique publicity angle made Cheng Yufei's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but sigh that she had never seen such a novel approach.

Knowing the meaning behind this number, Cheng Yufei covered her mouth in surprise, looking at Ma Yang in disbelief, unable to speak for a moment.

Ma Yang looked at Cheng Yufei's expression, his heart was calm, and he even wanted to laugh a little, because he had expected such a result.

In fact, after working overtime last night to complete the editing, he unhesitatingly posted the video and then fell asleep, completely unaware of the subsequent developments of the video.

It wasn't until the next morning when he was awakened by the amazing data on his phone screen that he was stunned. He once suspected that he was still immersed in a dream and was hallucinating.

After several confirmations, he finally accepted this exciting reality, so excited that he almost jumped out of bed.

After all, this was the most brilliant achievement he had made since entering the video industry!

As a result, when he walked on the road today, he felt as if he was stepping on auspicious clouds, full of spirit, confidence and vitality.

"Say no more, editor Yang, you can order whatever you want for lunch today, it's all on the house, I'll have the Third Boss cook it for you personally, plus an extra 200 yuan bonus, how about that?"

Cheng Yufei came back to her senses from the shock, no longer saying any empty words of praise, but directly offering substantial benefits. She knew that for employees, this kind of practical reward could better stimulate his enthusiasm.

"How can I be so embarrassed! But since the big boss has said so, then I have to accept it reluctantly!" Ma Yang said this, but in fact he was still a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to be modest, after all, one can't directly accept rewards for merit.

But when he saw a playful smile on Cheng Yufei's face, his heart tightened suddenly.

After spending this time together, he knew the temper of this young lady, who would come up with some unexpected ideas from time to time. So, he decided not to be polite and readily agreed.

Cheng Yufei couldn't help laughing when she saw Ma Yang accepting her kindness so readily.

She secretly thought to herself: "Hehe, I was wondering why there were so many people lining up? It turns out it's all because of the power of online public opinion!"

At the same time, Wang Hao had already prepared a hearty breakfast for Wang Lan. This breakfast earned him a total of 12 skill points, increasing his Advanced Cooking skill to 2460/10000.

And Wang Lan, who was still pouting and looking unhappy just now because she had no chance with "Inner Strength", was now attracted by the delicious food in front of her, completely forgetting her previous unhappiness.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily, revealing a bright smile. She couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and start tasting the breakfast Wang Hao had prepared for her.

Every bite made her feel extremely satisfied, as if all her worries had disappeared at this moment.

Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart as he watched his sister gobble it down. Seeing his sister eating so deliciously, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

After breakfast, Wang Hao didn't stay at home for long, and instructed Wang Lan: "Qiangzi and the other two should have arrived at the store by this time, stay safe at home by yourself, and remember to call me if anything happens."

"You can look at books about the postgraduate entrance exam at home, or go play with your Xingyun's classmates. Oh right, do you have enough money on you? If not, I'll transfer you some more." After speaking, Wang Hao felt a little uneasy again, and emphasized again: "Be sure to pay attention to safety, it's best not to go to places with few people."

Wang Hao was like a patriarch, carefully instructing Wang Lan.

He also knew in his heart that he might be a bit verbose, but these words were all he couldn't help but want to say, after all, the city is not like the village, and people's hearts are always unpredictable.

"Okay, okay, I got it, hurry up and go to work, stop being so nagging!" Wang Lan covered one ear with one hand and pushed Wang Hao towards the door with the other.

Although Wang Lan felt helpless about her brother's nagging, she knew very well in her heart that Wang Hao was concerned about her. The reason why she seemed impatient was also to reduce Wang Hao's worries.

Wang Lan has been studying away from home for so many years and has long been accustomed to handling various matters independently. She knows how to take care of herself and how to get along with others.

However, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless towards Wang Hao's parental-style speeches.

After saying goodbye to Wang Lan, Wang Hao walked towards the restaurant. On this short journey, he felt as if he had become the center of attention, with passersby frequently turning their heads.

Although he knew very well that this was due to the effect of the cheat's transformation, he couldn't help but blush, having never experienced such treatment before, and unconsciously quickened his pace.

Finally arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, the scene before him shocked him.

Looking around, the crowd was dense and endless.

He secretly wondered in his heart: "I originally thought that the first day of opening yesterday, it was normal for the number of people to be higher, after all, the restaurant has made full preparations and publicity in all aspects.

But I didn't expect today to be like this, it's really beyond my expectations.

It's not surprising to attract repeat customers with the advanced cooking skills given by the cheat, but the current situation is obviously beyond common sense. The scene of queuing in the snack street before is simply a small witch compared to the current situation."

Wang Hao quickly quickened his pace and walked into the restaurant, and the employee in charge of greeting guests at the door subconsciously said when he saw someone coming in: "Hello, we haven't started business yet…"

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that the handsome man in front of him seemed to be their Third Boss.

Immediately, he stopped talking and quickly greeted "Hello Third Boss", and let Wang Hao pass, thinking: "Did the Third Boss put on makeup today? Why does it feel different from before?"

Regarding the greeter's reaction, Wang Hao was first stunned, and then realized that it might be because of the change in his appearance.

His current appearance is indeed quite different from before, and even he himself spent a lot of time in front of the mirror to gradually adapt. Not to mention a greeter who has only met a few times?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, the surprise the cheat gave today seems to be a bit too big.

Hearing this greeting, Wang Hao also subconsciously nodded slightly in response.

The greeter's greeting seemed to be heard by everyone in the entire lobby. The originally busy crowd turned their heads and looked in Wang Hao's direction.

Wang Hao's brand-new image also made the employees who saw him widen their eyes, and the actions they were doing stopped. Almost everyone had the same thought as the greeter: "The Third Boss put on makeup! He's become so much more handsome!"

Being watched by everyone like this, Wang Hao coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then quickly walked towards the back kitchen.

"Wang Hao, why did you come so early? Didn't I tell you, the great hero, that you only need to come over at eleven o'clock? It would be better to sleep in at home…"

Cheng Yufei didn't notice Wang Hao's change at first, but only heard the greeter's greeting, and then smiled and greeted the familiar figure, while also taking a few steps forward.

However, when she walked halfway, the words behind suddenly became quieter and quieter.

At this time, Cheng Yufei finally saw Wang Hao walking towards her, with a face different from the past.

That originally slightly mature face had now become incredibly delicate, even with a hint of maturity and handsomeness, making people couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Cheng Yufei looked at Wang Hao in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief and doubt. She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes.

She subconsciously blinked her eyes violently a few times, and after confirming that it wasn't an illusion, she said in surprise: "Wow~ Wang Hao, you're a little handsome today! Could it be… did Xiao Lan specially give you a makeover?"

As Cheng Yufei spoke, her eyes stared straight at Wang Hao, as if trying to find something curious on this face.

Being stared at by Cheng Yufei like this, Wang Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly, revealing a look of helplessness.

Wang Hao's expression and movements, coupled with his features after the cheat's transformation, instantly brought a throbbing to Cheng Yufei's heart.

Cheng Yufei couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, she even felt her heartbeat skip a beat, and she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart: Oh my god, Wang Hao like this doesn't look like a thirty-year-old man at all, he's just like a little fresh meat in his early twenties!

"That... I'll go to the back kitchen to check the situation first, and chat with you later." Wang Hao didn't answer Cheng Yufei's question. First, he really didn't know how to answer, and second, because he felt a little uncomfortable being watched by Cheng Yufei, so he chose to temporarily escape.

After saying these words, Wang Hao turned and left in a hurry.

Cheng Yufei's eyes followed Wang Hao's figure closely, and when he left, her eyes still lingered in that direction.

Suddenly, her head shook from side to side, as if trying to get rid of some kind of trouble or emotion.

Then, an odd expression appeared on her face, as if she was using this action to relieve her inner tension and anxiety.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had been holding her breath, so she took a deep breath.

Her face turned red from holding her breath for a long time, and she felt a heat rising from her face.

Cheng Yufei picked up her phone and fanned herself, trying to lower the temperature on her face, but it didn't help much. Her heart was still beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She couldn't help but think: "What's wrong with me today? I used to be in the live broadcast circle, what kind of handsome guys and beautiful women haven't I seen? Even if Wang Hao's image change today is very successful, I shouldn't have such a strong reaction!"

She secretly denied the involuntary throbbing she had just had, and tried to calm herself down. After some self-guidance and adjustment, she finally regained her composure, but her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the back kitchen.
