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

After carefully reading the donation intention form, Su Su looked up at her master's calm face and suddenly felt like she didn't recognize him anymore.

Is this still the same master who only cares about making money?

She had known Li Zhibai for about two months, and her impression of him was similar to that of Lawyer Huo. Her mentor was a pure person, a pure black-hearted and unscrupulous businessman.

In Master's world, there is only one principle: to find ways to extract money from the wallets of the rich.

I never expected that he would actually donate half of his profits this time. Half of that would be at least a six-figure sum. Is this really something my master would do?

Su Su suddenly thought of the doll her master had given to that strange boy last time. Perhaps her master had never been evil from the beginning; the blackness was just his disguise. His heart was actually red, and he just wanted to do more good deeds in his own way.

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She had misunderstood her master for so long. Her master's nickname should not have been Li Heizi, but Li Dahong!

"Master... are you really going to donate half of the shop's profits? Don't you feel any remorse at all?"

"Is this even possible?"

Li Zhibai said with righteous indignation, "Although my greatest hobby is making money, I also know that it should be taken from the people and used for the people. There are still many children in our country living in poverty who need help. Although I, Li Zhibai, am not a great philanthropist, since I have the ability, I will help as much as I can. A gentleman loves money, but he earns it in a proper way and uses it wisely!"

Su Su was even more moved, feeling as if her master was about to radiate golden light.

Master's heart is filled with great love!

What she didn't know was that Li Zhibai was already going to donate 60 million yuan, which was a fixed quota; the real act of love was actually from Uncle Huo.

"Alright, stop standing there and hurry up and help prepare the ingredients."

"Yes, Master!"

Su Su tied on an apron and started helping out, and she felt even more energetic while working today.

Perhaps it's because today I finally saw a shining point in my master besides his superb cooking skills. It turns out that my master is not just a purely ruthless businessman; he has always been a kind-hearted person.

…………

Six o'clock in the evening.

As soon as the new Shaxian store opened, Yu Shen and his group stormed in angrily.

"Boss! Come out here!"

"You must give us an explanation today!"

"You deceived our feelings and took our money; we're not finished with you!"

"You have to give us an explanation today regarding the password."

"..."

A group of people started shouting as soon as they entered, but their voices gradually faded away.

And he looked completely bewildered.

Li Zhibai was sitting on a chair near the door, looking down at his phone with an extremely melancholy expression. His eyes were even red, as if he had been crying.

Everyone looked at each other.

No, what's wrong with Li Heizi?

We didn't even cry after you ripped us off so much money, but you're the one crying first? Or is it that you realize you went too far and feel guilty?

The problem is, they've known this guy for a long time now, and if he feels any remorse, then the sun will rise in the west.

Because in Li Heizi's dictionary, there is no other word besides "black".

This guy definitely knew they would come to demand an explanation, he was just putting on an act.

Before they could even ask any questions, Li Zhibai put down his phone, his eyes red, and looked up.

"Bosses, go ahead and curse! Curse me all you want! I'm not going to talk back today."

Everyone: "..."

To be honest, seeing Li Zhibai like this, they really didn't know how to start cursing.

Could it be that this guy wasn't faking it?

"Recently, I was watching videos and saw some left-behind children. Because of their family difficulties, they don't have nice schoolbags or clothes. At school, they only eat cold steamed buns soaked in cold water that they brought from home for lunch... They even have to take care of their elderly grandmothers after school... How can children study with peace of mind in such an environment?"

"When I saw those videos, I, a grown man, burst into tears on the spot."

"I'm really heartbroken!"

Yu Shen and others: "..."

Why is this guy telling them all this?

Just as they were about to interrupt Li Zhibai, Lu Qianshan shook his head at them, signaling them to hold their tongues and see what this guy was up to.

"Sigh, it's all my fault, Li Zhibai, for not having any real skills. All I can do is run a Shaxian snack shop."

"The shop is small and the profit margin is low. The money we make is barely enough to support our families. The dishes in the shop look expensive, but the profit margin is actually very low. We don't really make any money."

"I can't even bear to eat more than a few of the eggs I boil myself now; I'm really terrified of being poor!"

Yu Shen and others: "..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on their faces completely broke down.

What do you mean by earning little and having thin profits? You sell a bowl of noodles for 588 and you're telling me the profit is thin?

You're selling a piece of winter melon for 139 yuan and you're telling me it's barely enough to make ends meet?

You ripped us off for seventy or eighty thousand yuan in one meal, and you're telling me you can't even bear to eat an egg?

Is this even human language?!

"but!"

Li Zhibai changed the subject: "Although I'm poor, I have a kind heart, and I feel I need to take action!"

"I want to help the children in the mountains so that they can have enough to eat and can happily go to school with new schoolbags."

"That's why I want to encourage everyone to spend more. The more you spend, the more I earn, and then... I can donate half of what I earn!"

"Donate to children in impoverished circumstances, buy them schoolbags, textbooks, and new clothes, so they can eat meat and drink milk every day!"

"I know you may not believe it, but please look! This is my letter of intent to donate."

Li Zhibai handed the "Letter of Intent for Donation" that he had prepared in advance to Yu Shen and the others.

Yu Shen opened it with some skepticism and, sure enough, saw the donation details, along with Li Zhibai's autograph and red handprint.

This really surprised them.

No, Li Heizi, are you serious? We never expected this!

The crowd looked at each other, and their anger gradually subsided.

No wonder Li Heizi wanted everyone to spend money like crazy; it turns out he was doing it for charity.

So it seems that although Li Heizi is a bit ruthless and ruthless in overcharging customers, he is not a bad person at heart, and even a little bit admirable.

"Then...why didn't you say so sooner? If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't be angry."

"Doing charity is a good thing, and we're not unreasonable people."

"If you had made it clear from the beginning, we would definitely have been more supportive."

"Boss Li, we never expected you to be this kind of person. We misunderstood you."

"......."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Li Zhibai generously said, "Ignorance is no excuse! Besides, your spending is equivalent to doing charity. Every penny you spend will go towards children's schoolbags, textbooks, and chicken legs. This is a great deed with immeasurable merit."

"Well then, I'll thank you on behalf of the child." Li Zhibai bowed directly to them.

Now, Yu Shen and the others felt even more embarrassed.

"No, no, no, Mr. Li, what are you doing! We were wrong, we shouldn't have come to you for an explanation without even knowing what happened."

"Exactly! How can we miss out on charity work! It's just money; it's worth it no matter how much it helps the children!"

"That's right! I initially thought spending 60,000 was a waste, but now I see it's worth it! Absolutely worth it! Consider it a contribution to the kids' chicken legs."

"And what about the customization rights...?"

"Fight! We must fight!"

Yu Shen was the first to declare: "I'll give it my all today and I must take first place!"

"Why should you take it? I want to take it too!"

"Come on, who's afraid of who!"

"Boss, I'd like to order! A pot of braised pork, please!"

"I have two pots!"

"..."

The group immediately started ordering food with great enthusiasm, even more so than yesterday.

Just as everyone finished ordering and was waiting for the food to be served, Yu Shen suddenly noticed a plate covered with a lid on the table in front of him, with a note next to it.

"Huh? What's this?"

"Valuable items can only be touched by those who are destined to receive them."

"Boss, what's going on this time? Why are you being so secretive?"

Li Zhibai smiled mysteriously: "If you think you're the one destined for us, you can give it a try."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Yu Shen reached out and lifted the lid, revealing a shiny black braised egg in the plate.

"Huh, a black preserved egg?"

"So it's still a valuable item? That's ridiculous, a century egg only costs a few dollars."

Li Zhibai walked over with a smile, holding up a QR code to his face: "Cheng Hui, 3999 yuan."

"puff!!!"

Yu Shen stared wide-eyed at Li Zhibai and said, "No way, you're going to sell me a dark-skinned guy for 3999? Do you really think I'm a sucker?!"
