Tao Zhizhi, who just graduated from university, suffered a crushing blow from society! It wasn't just that she couldn't find a job, she was also scammed by an old classmate. "Ding—"...
Tao Zhizhi's shop happened to be in the area that Cen Lin wanted to develop, and Fu Jue single-handedly shattered her dream of getting rich overnight.
That night, after taking a shower and lying in bed, Tao Zhizhi finally saw Fu Jue's message and quickly apologized to him.
After clarifying the order time and quantity, Fu Jue smiled helplessly when he saw that she had conveyed everything in just one message.
Since their first meeting, Fu Jue had been busy with meetings and social engagements for several days, leaving him no time to eat at the food stall. He had Secretary Gu run errands for him every day, and Cen Lin shamelessly went to his office for every meal, not finding it troublesome at all.
After five consecutive days of work, it was finally the weekend. The task was settled, and not only were the two hundred portions of "Lucky Pig Trotters" sold out, but there were even more left over. Tao Zhizhi looked at the settlement list with satisfaction:
Rewards for completing Task 1: 500 points, 200 happiness points, and an increase of 100,000 yuan in your wallet.
Tao Zhizhi had taken money from her wallet at will, and with the shop's sales this week, she watched her bank account balance jump from just two thousand yuan for living expenses to many times over. She was so happy that she screamed and rolled around on the bed.
During this period, she was very satisfied with Su Bai, promoted her to a permanent position ahead of schedule, and set up relatively good benefits. She also paid social insurance and housing fund for her. She confidently patted her chest and said: She is going to be a conscientious boss.
Having just graduated, how could she resist the temptation of the weekend? She immediately decided to give herself a day off after working hard for five days, and sent the notice to Su Bai and Fu Jue at the same time, so that they wouldn't make a wasted trip.
At this moment, the Tianyi employees who were taking a break at their workstations saw that the store was closed and felt extremely resentful.
Tao Zhizhi smiled, her mind filled with a beautiful dream of rolling around on a golden mountain. She slept soundly until noon before slowly waking up. She lay in bed for a few seconds, then rolled over and picked up her phone to play.
Since she started offering food delivery, a huge number of people have contacted her and created a dedicated group chat on the platform. The messages have been almost constant these past few days. She's only skimmed through the comments, most of them praising her food. Today, because she's off work, their tone is quite resentful.
[With great fanfare: Boss, can you sleep? (Hands on hips, glaring) I can't sleep! (A resentful look) (Rolling around)]
[She was sleeping soundly, just woke up now.]
[Qiangzi Buguang: Boss, what will I do without you! (wiping away tears with a small handkerchief) (lying on the ground and crying loudly)]
[My favorite: (Chasing after her) Come back soon~~ (Singing sadly) (Falls down and gets up) (Chases while crying)]
[Don't worry, I, Tao, the beautiful girl, the culinary goddess, will still be back to make money!]
Tao Zhizhi only dared to reply to them in her mind; if she sent a message, she might be attacked.
After watching the screen, she stretched lazily with great satisfaction: No need to get up early! Awesome!
"Host, a new mission has arrived."
Seeing the host's lazy demeanor, Yi Yi coldly announced in his mind without any mercy.
Upon hearing the voice, Tao Zhizhi closed her eyes, unwilling to believe it was real.
"Task 2: Make camphor tea duck and sell 500 servings within a week, at 150 yuan per serving."
This time there's a time limit, which seems to have been changed based on her actual sales performance.
Tao Zhizhi rolled around in bed, wailing helplessly, "My wonderful vacation!"
"One hundred million, did you do that on purpose?"
"How could that be! Host, I arranged everything according to your level of acceptance. Besides, if you do more tasks, financial freedom is just around the corner." His sincerity was evident; Yi Yi truly meant it.
Tao Zhizhi got up, heated up and ate the meal her father had prepared, returned to her room, checked that the door was locked, and then entered the system kitchen. This time, a master chef appeared, speaking with a thick, authentic Sichuan accent:
"Girl, you're here! Hurry up and get to work!"
Just like the previous master, he urged her to work hard. He stood next to Tao Zhizhi and prepared some ingredients and tools for her to learn by following the steps.
Tao Zhizhi never quite grasped the essence of this dish, and the resulting flavor was rather ordinary; the duck meat couldn't fully absorb the unique aroma of the camphor leaves and tea leaves.
So this time it took longer. By the time she came out it was already evening, her phone screen was lit up, displaying two messages:
[Jue Feiyu: Boss Tao, will the shop be open tomorrow?]
[Jue Feiyu: Are you resting?] [Cat peeking out.jpg]
Tao Zhizhi shook her head, bringing her thoughts back to reality. With a freshly baked camphor tea duck in her mouth, she replied with one hand:
[Cheese Peach: It's open! And there will be new items coming soon!] [Rubbing hands excitedly.jpg]
Fu Jue, dressed in soft loungewear, held her phone in one hand, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at her emojis.
[Jue Feiyu: I'm really looking forward to it!]
I scrolled through the emojis on my phone. They weren't serious work replies, just abstract emojis from Cen Lin that weren't suitable to send. The only one with a kitten emoji was one his mom sent me last time.
The page fell silent, and Tao Zhizhi inexplicably recalled the moment she first saw Fu Jue.
Holding a camera, she smiled and noticed someone approaching; her gaze was intense and impossible to ignore.
She turned her head and met his beautiful eyes. The sunlight shone on him, making him look sunny and languid. She could hear her heart beating faster.
【Cheese Peach: See you tomorrow?】
Fu Jue chuckled and replied instantly: 【Okay, see you tomorrow.】
When Tao Zhizhi saw his message, she didn't even bother with the duck that was already in her mouth. Her eyes widened, she grabbed the teddy bear next to her, and grinned: "I can see handsome guys again tomorrow!"
The next morning, Tao Zhizhi hummed a little tune in a good mood. After a good rest, she looked radiant. As usual, she wore her hair in a high bun, and her bright pink overalls made her look playful and neat. She exuded a vibrant energy that attracted attention.
Fu Jue dressed up carefully, taking out his old white and blue short-sleeved shirts from college and pairing them with dark blue wide-leg jeans, looking every bit the clean-cut male college student.
Unfortunately, Secretary Gu made an untimely call to ask for help to work overtime. Fu Jue forced a smile, changed back into his suit, and went to the meeting.
During the meeting, Manager Li was interrupted several times by Fu Jue, who directly told him to go back and redo the plan. Manager Li felt wronged, but he couldn't say anything.
After the meeting, Manager Li nervously approached Secretary Gu and timidly asked:
"Secretary Gu, is President Fu in a bad mood today?"
Other executives were also puzzled.
"Is President Fu on a roll today? His usual proposals are pretty much the same, but he gets a few words of criticism and this time he just passed on them."
"Who knows? Anyway, don't mess with them. Let's go eat."
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm starving!"
During today's meeting, Chairman Fu witnessed Fu Jue's behavior. Before he could come to a conclusion, the other shareholders interrupted his thoughts and went to discuss the matter.
