As the saying goes, it's better to have fun together than alone!

Song Cailian made a call to her husband, Huang Yide.

She talked about this matter.

As soon as Huang Yide heard it, his mouth gradually formed an "o" shape.

After a few seconds of surprise,

a smile appeared on his face, looking quite pleased: "Great! Great! Great! As expected from my good son, truly impressive!"

With his son's success, he, as a father, was naturally very happy.

"Hey, Old Huang, what's making you so happy?" His colleague, Lin Zhenwei, who was sitting diagonally opposite, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity after seeing him smile uncontrollably after hanging up the phone.

"Good news!"

Huang Yide smiled slightly and seemingly offhandedly said, "Oh, by the way, a new store just opened on West City Old Street, selling pan-fried buns and preserved egg and lean meat porridge, have you heard?"

"Oh... that! I've heard my daughter mention it. Her in-laws live nearby, and they say it tastes great."

"That store is opened by my son. The taste is really good, you should try it sometime."

"Wow, your son became a boss?! Congratulations!"

"It's just a small restaurant, he's at most a small boss, but luckily business is booming, income's alright."

"How much can he make in a month?"

Huang Yide casually responded, "So-so, around 150,000 or so!"

Wow!

Around 150,000!

And he calls that so-so!

Huang Yide, you might have misunderstood the term 'so-so' a bit!

Shocked, Lin Zhenwei lightly slapped his own mouth: Shouldn't have asked so many questions, now you're shocked!

Huang Yide, seeing Lin Zhenwei with a look of surprise, smiled.

Then he started to frantically make calls again!

Today, he wanted to let all the relatives know about this great news!

In less than 5 minutes,

the relatives' group chat was buzzing with excitement.

Watching the messages flying in the group, his upward-curving lips never went down.

Huang Tao, although he had joined the family group, had set it to Do Not Disturb, so he had no idea how lively it was in the group.

He had already become the excellent example of the Huang Family.

And more so, a goal for his peers to learn from!

Aiming to earn ten thousand a day!

...

At the West City Old Street corner, Zheng's Breakfast Shop was now seeing off the last customer dining in.

The employees began tidying up the plates and chopsticks on the table, putting them in the sink for cleaning together.

The owner, Zheng Fugui, sat at a table by the window in the shop, smoking a cigarette, calculating this morning's earnings.

Finally!

He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! Business has been a bit sluggish these couple of days, and this morning's revenue dropped by more than two thousand."

Starting roughly from yesterday morning, he noticed the number of people coming for breakfast and lunch at his place seemed to have dwindled.

This morning, even fewer people came to buy food.

All those office workers had run away, even old customers from the nearby residential buildings have decreased.

Just from the store's revenue, the change was pretty obvious to see.

Yesterday alone, a thousand yuan less.

This morning was even more absurd, directly down by nearly a thousand yuan.

He knew some of the reasons why business was declining so sharply.

A new restaurant opened around the corner of West City Old Street, also selling pan-fried buns and preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

It even became famous among residents and office workers near West City Old Street.

Many residents and office workers rushed over there to buy pan-fried buns.

Naturally, fewer people came here to buy food.

No wonder business fell off a cliff!

Looking again at the earnings in the account book, the frustration in his heart turned into a raging fire.

He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, if this continues, we won't even earn enough to pay the rent this month!"

Lin Xiue, dressed in a floral dress with her hair in curlers, walked out from the kitchen into the store and saw her husband in this state.

Without asking, she knew why he was angry.

She couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we go buy a few pan-fried buns and some preserved egg and lean meat porridge from So Delicious to taste? Then study them to see what secret they have that's so appealing."

Zheng Fugui's eyes flickered, instantly realizing what his wife was planning.

This idea had crossed his mind as well!

But he was hesitant to go and queue up as they were all in the same business.

Afraid of being recognized, fearing embarrassment for himself.

Lin Xiue saw he didn't respond, urged, "Yes or no? Just give me a definite answer!"

He pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, but we can't go buying it ourselves, we need to have someone else go buy it."

"Don't worry, I know that."

After speaking, Lin Xiue waved over a new employee, Qiao Ling, who looked like a lady, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Madam Boss, what's the matter?"

Lin Xiue instructed, "At noon, go queue at 'So Delicious' around the street corner, buy 5 of each kind of bun they have, and two bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Remember to go quietly, don't make a fuss."

Upon hearing this, Qiaohong was taken aback.

She could roughly guess the reason behind the Madam Boss's actions.

But as an employee, she could only comply: "Okay, Madam Boss, I got it."

...

On the other side, after finishing the call with his mom, Song Cailian, Huang Tao tidied up the shop a bit, planning to take out the trash, when he saw a stray cat crouching outside the door.

A rather ordinary Chinese rural cat, so skinny it was almost just skin and bones.

Looked quite pitiful.

"Little guy, are you hungry?"

"Meow?"

The kitten lifted its head, with big curious eyes looking at the two-legged creature in front.

"You stay here, don't move. I'll go throw this trash, and when I come back, I'll get you something to eat..."

After saying that, even Huang Tao couldn't help but chuckle.

Laughing at himself for talking to a cat, as if it could understand.

But the little guy seemed to understand, as it responded with a "meow."

Wow!

Was it responding to him?!

"Then it's settled, alright!"

He quickly walked to the garbage collection point and tossed the trash in his hand into the bin.

As he walked back to the store's entrance, he found that the cat was still there.

"This cat, it's pretty clever!"

He went to the kitchen and put the three leftover pan-fried buns from his breakfast on a plate.

He placed the plate on the ground outside the door: "Go ahead, eat!"

The kitten crouched in place, staring at him without moving, refusing to come closer.

Oops!

Afraid of strangers, huh~

He helplessly chuckled and went back inside to prepare ingredients for lunch.

Once he left, the kitten slowly came closer.

It first sniffed the pan-fried buns, and then without hesitation, bit into them.

Such delicious pan-fried buns are irresistible even to humans, let alone a little cat~

Soon enough, it had finished eating.

"Meow... meow..."

Still wanting more, it called out to Huang Tao, who was busy inside the shop.

Feeling soft-hearted, he originally wanted to chop up some braised pig's feet, but considering this little cat was obviously malnourished, eating too much at once would be hard to digest.

Moreover, the three pan-fried buns were enough to fill its stomach.

He could only shake his head hardheartedly: "No more, come back after lunch!"

"Meow..."

The kitten cried out a few more times.

Seeing that Huang Tao didn't bring out more food, it realized there wasn't going to be any more, and could only leave forlornly.

...

The campus forum of Lijiang University was bustling again.

Because a hot post was floating on the front page of the campus forum again.

"Come see if you don't believe! To prove my innocence, I'm live broadcasting myself eating pan-fried buns! Mom asked me why I was crying? I replied, I was drooling over them!"
