I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

the other side.

Wang Dafu and Zhao Lei came out of the Shaxian snack shop and walked to the bus stop one after the other. The expressions on their faces were more and more dejected than each other, as if they had been hollowed out.

"Damn it, we've lost big time this time!"

"Six hundred and sixty thousand! Gone just like that! That was all my savings." Wang Dafu clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart was still bleeding.

"Uncle, don't be so heartbroken. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." Although Zhao Lei was also feeling the pinch, he had to put on a brave face and comforted him, "Think about how much money he can earn in a month. If we take this shop back, we'll break even in no time. At that point, let alone 660,000, 6.6 million won't be a problem."

"You make it sound so easy," Wang Dafu sighed. "Our rent has gone up to 120,000 yuan a month, and we still have to give that sub-landlord 60,000 yuan. Where are we going to get that money? Tell me, where are we going to get it?"

Zhao Lei: "Uncle, don't worry, I've already taken care of the rest of the money."

"All done?" Wang Dafu was taken aback, looking at him suspiciously. "How did you do it? Did you hide the money?"

"Oh, Uncle, don't worry about how I got it done." Zhao Lei really didn't know how to explain to his uncle how he got the sub-landlord Liu Yang.

The thought of Liu Yang sent a shiver down his spine.

That guy looked refined and clean-cut, and quite serious, but I never expected him to ask for those kinds of conditions right away.

Forget it, I don't want to.

The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel.

"Alright, Uncle, stop thinking about it. Hurry back and get ready. We're opening in three days, and there's a ton of stuff to do."

Just as they were talking, a black Mercedes-Benz E-Class pulled up next to the bus stop.

The car window rolled down, revealing Liu Yang's slightly effeminate and handsome face.

"Zhao Lei, now that things are settled, you haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?"

Zhao Lei froze: "Of course... I remember."

"Good to remember. You promised me that once we got the shop back, you'd come with me to Chengdu for a trip in a few days. I've already bought the plane tickets and chosen the hotel. Don't stand me up." After saying that, Liu Yang winked at him, then closed the window and drove away.

Zhao Lei's smile froze instantly.

CD.

travel.

There were still two of them...

Wang Dafu stared wide-eyed at his nephew.

He'd lived for over forty years and wasn't unfamiliar with such things; the internet was so advanced these days, you could find anything. But he never imagined this would happen to his own nephew, and judging by the situation, it seemed his nephew had offered himself up.

Finally, he sighed deeply and patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder: "Xiao Lei...you've suffered."

"Uncle! It's not what you think!" Zhao Lei quickly explained, "We're just ordinary friends, going to see the giant pandas together! Really! Just to see the giant pandas!"

"I understand, I understand everything." Wang Dafu's eyes were full of love and heartache: "You don't need to explain. Your uncle isn't the old-fashioned type. These days, as long as you can make a lot of money, gender doesn't have to be so strict."

"You've sacrificed so much for our business, your uncle remembers it all. I'll give you a bigger share of the profits later."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He suddenly understood how Li Zhibai felt after he tricked him.

Karma.

This is all karma!

…… ...

As evening fell, the sun gradually set.

Su Su had just walked to the shop entrance with her small backpack when she saw Li Zhibai squatting there, writing something on the small blackboard with chalk.

She was about to say hello when she was drawn to the words on the page.

[Graduation Thank You Mega Sale!]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this store will be officially closing in three days.

Su Su's heart skipped a beat when she saw this line of text.

"Master! The shop...the shop is closing down? What's going on?!"

Li Zhibai slowly stood up, a very sorrowful expression on his face, and sighed:

"Alas, life is unpredictable! The sub-landlord saw that our business was doing well and demanded to take back the property. How could a commoner like me compete with their capital? So I had no choice but to close down and find another way to make a living. If you come to No. 88 Jiangdong South Road again, you may not see your master anymore."

Su Su panicked upon hearing this and almost burst into tears: "Master, are you just leaving like this? No! I'll call my dad right now and see if he can help you find a new place."

"Don't rush, don't rush," Li Zhibai said. He had only been pretending earlier. Seeing how sentimental the girl was, he quickly explained, "I've already found a shop. I just want to do a promotion in the next few days."

Su Su breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and followed his gaze to look down at the blackboard.

Only then could I see the tiny print, barely bigger than an ant.

[All items are at their original price; no discounts available.]

[I suggest ordering more; every meal you eat here is precious, and you might not get another chance like this.]

Su Su: "..."

Her heart, which had been clenched in anxiety, suddenly froze in mid-air, caught between a rock and a hard place.

She genuinely thought her master was leaving, but it turns out he just wanted to create a pretext for ripping people off...

As she remained silent, two familiar figures strolled leisurely across the street.

Yu Shen and Pang Yi each had a straw in their mouths, drinking iced cola they bought from the convenience store while laughing and discussing what to order for dinner.

Since the anti-gang alliance's report failed, they have actually let go of their psychological burden. Anyway, the store will become popular sooner or later, so they might as well eat there before the long queues start.

As soon as they reached the door, their eyes were drawn to the words on the blackboard, and they instinctively became alert.

"Thank you for your support...Graduation Sale...Unlimited Supply..."

"Is Li Heizi organizing an event?"

"What kind of trouble is he going to cause this time?"

"What kind of 'thank you' is this? There's even a deadline! What is this nonsense? They're definitely trying to rip us off again!"

"Don't rush, let me test the waters first."

Yu Shen pointed to the blackboard and asked Li Zhibai, "Boss, could you explain this event? How exactly does the 'gratitude and feedback' program work?"

"Hey, you two's here!" Li Zhibai's eyes lit up, and he casually said, "Better late than never, you've arrived just in time for our biggest customer appreciation event since the store opened!"

"What kind of promotion? Discount? Free food? Or free extra portions?"

"Neither."

"What is that?"

"I just want you to order more."

Yu Shen: "..."

Pang Yi: "..."

Holy crap! This Li Heizi is way too blunt!

They used to at least make up an excuse, but now they're too lazy to even make one up. They're so arrogant!

"Wait... this customer appreciation event doesn't offer any benefits, and you're asking us to order more? Is this supposed to be giving back to customers or to yourself?"

"Of course, it's to give back to you!"

Li Zhibai once again displayed his superb acting skills, lamenting, "Alas, my shop is closing in three days. If you don't order a few more hearty dishes now, it will be difficult to eat them later."

The two of them were stunned upon hearing this.

What?

The last three days?

Li Heizi, are you trying to run away?
