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

Li Zhibai had no idea that Yu Shen and his group not only didn't intend to give him a good review, but were even planning to form a group to give him a bad review.

If people knew, his "slaughter list" would probably have a few more names on it.

After seeing Su Su off, he sat alone behind the cashier, happily calculating today's bill with a calculator.

The company dinner cost a total of 168900 yuan. Adding the 7850 yuan spent by Yu Shen and Lu Qianshan's table, today's revenue reached 176750 yuan.

Looking at the string of numbers on the calculator, Li Zhibai couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

After deducting the cost of goods purchased, today's gross profit is approximately 120,000 to 130,000.

If I could earn like this every day, paying off the 600,000 yuan rent would be just around the corner.

Unfortunately, such large orders are like pie falling from the sky; they are rare and hard to come by.

He reset the calculator to zero and then did a more realistic calculation.

The store has served 30 customers today, setting a new record since its opening.

Of these 30 people, 26 were employees of that company who had been taken advantage of, and 4 were Yu Shen's old customers and their friends. There were almost no individual customers.

Compared to before, there is actually almost no difference; business is still just average.

The pressure of rent remains significant.

They can only hope that Shen and others can give him some positive reviews, hoping to bring some customers to his Shaxian snack shop.

Li Zhibai tossed the calculator into the drawer and stretched.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Starting a business is a gradual process; you can't get rich overnight. Take it slow.

The system needs to upgrade the kitchen after closing tonight, so we'll need to close tomorrow.

To be honest, he has been working at a high intensity for several days in a row since he took over the store.

I'm busy from afternoon until dawn every day, preparing ingredients, cooking, and serving customers. I also have to find time to hand out flyers. I'm more tired than those 996 corporate slaves.

At least office workers have weekends, but he doesn't even have a holiday.

This is a good opportunity to take a good rest.

…… ...

Inside a private room at a high-end hotel.

Liu Dexin and his boss were drinking and chatting with a client.

Tonight's meal was quite luxurious. The Australian lobster alone cost over two thousand yuan, and we drank Moutai and imported red wine. All things considered, this meal must have cost at least twenty thousand yuan.

While diligently pouring wine for his customers, Liu Dexin was secretly planning how to curry favor with his boss after the event.

He arranged the entire staff dinner tonight.

Choosing Shaxian Snacks as the venue for employee gatherings is definitely one of the most successful moves of his career.

With over twenty people, a meal would cost at most a thousand or eight hundred yuan. This definitely saved the boss a lot of money, and the boss will definitely value him even more in the future.

Most importantly, he could also enjoy a life of luxury at a fancy restaurant with his boss, which was quite lucrative.

Thinking of this, Liu Dexin's smile widened even more. He picked up his wine glass, approached the client, and said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Wang, this toast is for you! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. Our boss often tells me that Mr. Wang is the most visionary entrepreneur he has ever met, and it is an honor for our company to cooperate with him!"

Mr. Wang felt very comfortable after being flattered, and he raised his glass with a smile: "Manager Liu, you're too kind. Come, come, let's have a drink together."

"Please, Mr. Wang!"

Liu Dexin tilted his head back, preparing to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Just then, the smartwatch on his left wrist suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up on the screen.

Liu Dexin glanced at it subconsciously.

[A debit card ending in 8821 made a purchase of 168,900.00 yuan, leaving a current balance of 250.00 yuan.]

"puff--!!!"

Upon seeing this number, Liu Dexin spat out the mouthful of wine he hadn't yet swallowed, spraying it all over President Wang's face.

Mr. Wang's smile froze, and the liquor dripped down his thinning hair, past his eyebrows, over his nose, and finally into his half-open mouth.

When the boss saw this, his face turned green, and he slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Liu Dexin!!!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Boss, I...I didn't mean to..." Liu Dexin hurriedly pulled out a few tissues, wanting to help Boss Wang wipe his face.

The more panicked he became, the more chaotic things got. With a sweeping elbow, he knocked over a bottle of red wine on the table, causing it to fall over with a crash and spill all over Mr. Wang's crotch.

Mr. Wang looked down at the red stain on his white crotch and his face turned completely black.

Then he looked up at Liu Dexin's boss.

"Boss Zhou, is this how your company's employees treat customers?!"

"Mr. Wang, please let me explain..."

"No explanation needed."

"This collaboration ends here!" Mr. Wang grabbed his briefcase and stormed out of the private room.

"Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang, please wait a moment..."

The boss hurriedly chased after him, but turned back at the door and roared at Liu Dexin:

"You just wait!!!"

Liu Dexin stood alone in the empty private room, his expression even more unpleasant than if he were crying.

He glanced at the deduction notification again.

168900.00 yuan.

You read that right.

It really is 168900 yuan.

He only had 169150 yuan in his card, and this meal maxed it out, leaving him with only 250 yuan.

Liu Dexin completely broke down and cursed at thin air:

"Are you all pigs?! 26 people eating at a Shaxian snack shop and they still managed to spend 17 yuan!"

"Even pigs can't eat as much as you guys!"

He then took out his phone and called Wen Ran.

The call didn't go through.

I tried calling other people, but they couldn't get through either.

They're all out of contact, I can't reach a single one of them.

Liu Dexin was so angry he almost smashed his phone.

What chilled him to the bone was that the meal was paid for with his own card.

A meal cost 17 yuan. How am I supposed to ask my boss for reimbursement?

Are you suggesting I tell the boss the truth: "Boss, I'm here to get reimbursed. Those employees spent 17 yuan on Shaxian snacks."

The boss would definitely say: Do you think I look like an idiot?

It's a dead end!

Liu Dexin walked out of the restaurant in a daze and took a taxi home.

His mind was blank the whole way. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. How could a meal at a Shaxian snack shop cost so much money?

Could it be that Shaxian restaurant is a shady establishment?

impossible!

How expensive can Shaxian snacks be? At most, it'll cost forty or fifty yuan per person.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the residential area, Liu Dexin paid the fare, and walked into the residential area.

When he took out his keys and opened the door, he found that the living room light was still on.

His wife was sitting on the sofa, arms crossed, staring at him with a gloomy expression and eyes that looked like she wanted to devour him.

On the floor in front of her was a large durian.

Liu Dexin's heart skipped a beat.

"Honey, why aren't you asleep yet...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his wife abruptly interrupted him in a cold voice:

"Liu Dexin! Where the hell have you been gallivanting tonight?!"

"I...I went to have dinner with my boss and clients. Didn't I already tell you?" Liu Dexin said truthfully.

"Having dinner with the boss and clients?"

His wife sneered and picked up a paper invoice that the deliveryman had brought from the coffee table.

"Spending 17 yuan on dinner with the boss? Liu Dexin, do you think I'm stupid?!"

"Tell me honestly, are you having an affair? Or are you going to some shady club to have fun?!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Liu Dexin, you're quite the clever one. You go out partying and causing trouble, but you even know how to get invoices to cover your tracks, and they're even from Shaxian Snacks... Heh..."

"No, honey, let me explain. This money was spent on a company dinner. The employees went to Shaxian snack bar and used my card. It's reimbursable, it really is."

His wife didn't believe it at all.

"Can't you make your lies at least a little more believable? Eating at a Shaxian snack shop for 17 yuan in one meal? Who would believe that?"

"It's true, honey, I'm telling the truth..."

"That's enough!"

"You'd better kneel down first, or I'll call your mother right now!"

Liu Dexin's face turned green as he looked at the durian covered in sharp thorns in front of him.

"Honey, let me explain..."

"I won't listen! I won't listen!"

His wife pulled out a kitchen knife from behind her back and pointed it at him.

"Are you going to kneel or not?!"

Liu Dexin was terrified and knelt down with a thud.

"Awooo—!!!"
