Xie Baomin had ntioned before that every ti he ca ho drunk, his wife would not give him a warm welco.
Drinking so much today, wouldn’t it affect the little spark of love that had just ignited between them?
Xie Baomin heaved a sigh and then said, "Junior Brother, you’re still young and don’t understand the pressures middle-aged people face. Although I drank a lot, from another perspective, isn’t it just giving myself a little break to catch my breath?"
Lin Xu: "..."
Heavens, has Sister-in-law really pushed Senior Brother to this extent?
No wonder Senior Brother’s efforts to replenish his energy never seed to work.
Lin Xu suddenly recalled the math problems he used to encounter in elentary school: a swimming pool could be emptied in five hours and filled in three hours. If both the drain and the inlet were open at the sa ti, how many hours would it take to fill the pool?
It felt like a waste of water at the ti.
But thinking about Senior Brother’s current predicant, he realized that there was a deeper aning to that problem.
Could it be that the person who created the problem was also in the sa situation as Senior Brother is now?
Before long, a designated driver arrived on a compact electric scooter.
After getting into the car, Xie Baomin rolled down the passenger-side window and called out to Lin Xu, "If it gets too busy tomorrow, give a call. We’ll co over to help first. Others can delay arriving for the feast, but it’s not appropriate for our own people to do so."
TSK TSK, Senior Brother, you should be more concerned about when your own pool will be full.
Lin Xu said, "I can handle it; everything’s arranged. Just co as usual."
After seeing Senior Brother off, Lin Xu returned to the store. Shu Yun approached him and said, "Boss, we’re ranked fourth on the topic list. Tomorrow’s fifty servings of Shakima and fifty servings of Horse Hoof Cake have all been reserved, and the custors still think it’s not enough. The company has sent out all the invitations, and just now, Boss Dou took away a jar of fruit vinegar..."
She reported the store’s matters one by one. After listening, Lin Xu said, "Tell the company to give the netizens a new surprise. Expand the original top fifty to the top seventy. Additionally, randomly draw thirty lucky netizens from all participants to attend the ceremony. For those who can’t co, send them a cash red envelope. Let’s make it lively for everyone."
Since the netizens are so enthusiastic, naturally it’s ti to pour so gasoline on the fire to heat things up.
After that, Lin Xu went to the pastry departnt of the kitchen to start making the Shakima for tomorrow.
「Online.」
When the latest surprise was announced, the enthusiasm of the netizens soared even higher.
"My God, not only has it increased from fifty to seventy, but they’re also going to randomly draw thirty lucky netizens. Is Boss Lin being too generous?"
"It’s not enough to just invite people for a al—there’s also cash compensation for those who can’t be there? That’s so impressive!"
"Boss Lin accidentally stepped into the charity circle."
"I wasn’t planning to participate, but with this montum, I’d better craft a few jokes to take part."
" too! After seeing this ssage, I’ve been inspired like a flood. I plan to write a section titled ’A Few Anecdotes About Boss Lin and Chief Huang’."
"Chief Huang? Are you talking about Huang Rong, bro?"
"Hurry, hurry, I love the writings about Chief Huang..."
「At nine o’clock in the evening.」
The nas of one hundred netizens participating in Lin Ji’s celebration were announced.
Netizens from out of town who couldn’t attend the event received a 588 yuan cash red envelope from Lin Ji’s Food. This prompted many to exclaim they felt like they’d lost out on billions.
Even those who couldn’t go were surprised by such a large cash red envelope.
The intense discussion among everyone made the topic of Lin Ji’s Food even hotter, attracting all the netizens who used to write jokes.
Selected netizens were showing off in all sorts of ways, while those who weren’t selected heaved many sighs and bit into their lemons enviously.
This fervor helped the topic of Lin Ji’s Food successfully break into the top three.
Then, it triggered a system reward: "Host has successfully made the topic of Lin Ji’s Food reach third place in the Yanjing Region’s topic list before the official opening, completing the Hidden Task [Reaching the Top Three], and won a Perfect Level dish lottery draw. Would you like to draw now?"
Lin Xu, who had just finished making Shakima, looked surprised.
Are there actually such good things?
If he had known, he would have made the event even bigger just now.
Maybe he could have even broken into second place.
He took off his apron, washed his hands, and went downstairs, ready to go ho with Dundun.
At this ti, there were not many custors left in the store. The morning shift employees had already gone ho, and the night shift employees were preparing to clean.
"Let’s go, Dundun. Ti to head ho."
Lin Xu hoisted the chubby Dundun onto his shoulder. He then took the unsalted beef jerky Zhuang Yizhou had made for the little guy, bid everyone goodbye, and walked out of the Lin Ji doorway.
The store was busy closing up. Outside the storefront, however, was a different scene altogether. The celebration company’s staff was busy setting up the stage, adjusting the inflatable archway, and preparing for tomorrow’s celebration.
When Dou Wenjing saw Lin Xu co out, she quickly ca over to greet him and also gave Dundun’s chin a scratch.
"Dundun, Daddy’s restaurant is officially opening tomorrow. You’ve got to dress sharp, okay?"
Dundun looked up, his eyes squinting slightly, enjoying the attention like a little boss. When Dou Wenjing let go to attend to her own tasks, he protested with a dissatisfied ow, "OW!"
Dou Wenjing asked curiously, "What’s that about?"
"He wants you to keep scratching."
"Aww, you even know how to ask for an extension, huh, baby? Today’s too busy. But when I’m not so busy, I’ll co over and give you a good scratch with your Godmother Shu Yun, okay, Little Dundun?"
