At 12:02, Ding Nan and Luo Min arrived at Xu An's lunchbox stall on time.

After buying the boxed lunches, the two didn't leave immediately. Instead, they stood there looking at each other, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Xu An clearly couldn't ignore their obvious actions, and directly asked the two, "Is there something you need?"

Ding Nan and Luo Min exchanged another glance, and finally Luo Min spoke.

"Boss, it's getting hotter and hotter these days, so we were wondering if you could offer delivery service?" Luo Min was afraid that Xu An would refuse, so he quickly pointed to the three-story building across the street and said, "Our company is right across the street, less than a hundred meters away, very close."

Xu An looked at the fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Although two portions aren't much, the advantage is that the two people are close together. Plus, they're regular customers, so this request isn't something that can't be accommodated.

When the other office workers next to them saw that Xu An had agreed, they started gesturing and asking if they could also have it delivered to their place.

This sudden enthusiasm left Xu An somewhat bewildered. He eventually decided that at least two orders were required within a 300-meter radius for delivery.

Those who came alone seemed somewhat disappointed, but those who came in groups of two or three were clearly delighted.

Starting tomorrow, I can sit in the office with the air conditioning on and wait for the boss to bring my lunchbox!

While Xu An was registering the number of boxed meals, addresses, and times for them, the large group of students from Shanghai Maritime College had already arrived at the entrance of the snack street.

The moment they saw Xu An's lunchbox stall, they were like bulls in a gladiatorial arena seeing a red flag, galloping towards it.

The sheer scale of their operation left even the stall owners who had witnessed their actions the previous day speechless.

Those office workers who missed witnessing the spectacle yesterday quickly moved aside, keeping their distance from the scene, fearing that their boss's blood might splatter on them.

Having witnessed yesterday's spectacle, Xu An and Liang Dani were not only calm today, but also quite interested in counting how many students had come.

More than fifty people came today, which is 1.5 times that of yesterday.

Unfortunately, Xu An only had thirty-two boxed meals left at his stall. With more wolves than sheep, some people were destined not to be able to buy a boxed meal from the very beginning.

In just two minutes, all 32 boxed meals were snapped up, leaving the rest empty-handed.

After the students dispersed, the office workers nearby breathed a sigh of relief that no bloodshed had occurred, and returned to their stalls to continue registering relevant information.

Old Han, who was at the forefront of the students, was a little curious about what they were doing, so he walked behind them and peered over to watch.

"Elsa Apparel Company, two boxed meals, delivered at 11:50, right?"

Yes, that's right.

"Sixteen pieces in total."

"Do I have to pay first? Can I pay after the meal is delivered?"

Ding Nan and Luo Min hesitated. Although eight yuan wasn't much, they would still feel bad if the boss ran away.

"I've been setting up here for over a week, and I'll continue to do so for the long term," Xu An explained, knowing what they were worried about, though his explanation seemed rather weak and unconvincing.

“Boss, it’s not that we don’t trust you, but you only have this little tricycle. If it runs away, we won’t have anywhere to look for it. If you had a shop or something, we wouldn’t be unable to accept a reservation.” Ding Nan hesitated for a moment before finally saying this.

The office workers nearby readily agreed.

"Yes, yes, although it's not a lot of money, it's still easy to get angry when you lose money for no reason."

"Isn't it the same if we pay after the delivery to our door? There's not much difference. Boss, why don't you reconsider?"

Seeing this, Xu An was also helpless and quickly thought of a solution in his mind.

"How about this, I won't collect payment yet. I'll collect payment after the boxed meals are delivered. However, I will charge a 50-cent delivery fee for home delivery. If you can accept that, we'll deliver to your door. If not, you can still come here to buy boxed meals. How about that?"

Upon hearing about the delivery fee, some people backed out.

But people like Ding Nan and Luo Min, who are sensitive to heat, found the 50-cent delivery fee acceptable and readily agreed.

Xu An then recorded the two people's names, numbers, company addresses, and other specific information in his notebook.

After Ding Nan and Luo Min left, two office workers quickly squeezed over and blurted out their information.

Two office workers had their schedules clash, so one of them had to compromise and choose a time ten minutes later.

Eating lunch a little later is better than having to brave the sweltering heat to go out and buy a boxed lunch.

It took Lao Han a while to realize what Xu An was doing.

That's a brilliant idea!

With just an extra 50 cents for delivery, there's no need to walk nearly two kilometers in the sweltering heat to buy this boxed meal.

After the office workers finished registering, Lao Han approached them with a grin.

"Boss, can you send students to Shanghai Maritime Academy? If so, we can immediately count the number of students for you."

Xu An thought back for a moment. The Maritime Academy was more than 900 meters away from here, which was about two kilometers round trip. Including the waiting time for the handover, this trip would take 20 minutes, which was too long.

Thinking of this, Xu An decisively shook his head and refused: "It's just a trial phase now, and for the time being, we only deliver to orders within a radius of 300 meters. Your school is outside that range."
