Jingzhou Sports Academy has two campuses.
The old campus is currently undergoing construction, surrounded by barricades, while the new campus is located in the newly established University City in Jingzhou Development Zone. After all, it's a small city, and this so-called University City currently has only six or seven universities.
It hadn't been long since the move, and that place could be described as desolate.
Even students in University City have to ride a bus for an hour to the city center just to have a date or a meal.
The company chose University City as the first location, which wasn't surprising. As a key urban development project, a state-owned enterprise has to make a statement.
Although the development zone is remote, the facilities are quite complete. Sanitation workers start cleaning the streets before dawn, and there are police patrols until midnight. Once state-owned enterprises gradually settle in, prosperity is just a matter of time.
"But the company needs data late at night, and my stall also needs to start after ten, so..."
Chen Mo quickly began drafting a simple plan.
The first issue was the cost of the food truck. Of course, he couldn't tell the company he bought one because then, after the task, the truck would become the company's fixed asset!
So, he would say he rented a food truck instead.
"A rent of 100 per day isn't too much, right?"
Then there's the initial investment. With the "Cloning Chef Machine," the cost for Chen Mo was just seasoning and meat, but he didn't plan to report these expenses to the company. What if the company asked for the revenue later?
When one is focused, they often lose track of time. By the time Chen Mo finished drafting the plan, it was almost the end of the workday.
"Buy ingredients, prepare, and get ready to set up the stall tonight at Jingzhou Sports Academy!"
Chen Mo felt great and suddenly understood why people enjoy spending company money; it felt great to set up a stall at the company's expense!
He could earn double wages, with additional subsidies, and even report the food truck rent of one hundred—what a delight!
However, since according to the company plan work starts tomorrow, Chen Mo planned to scout the location today first and leave the interns for tomorrow.
Just do it!
...
Jingzhou Sports Academy, Dorm 404 for boys.
"Boys, aren't you feeling bored?"
"How about an all-nighter? My Galen mid is unstoppable!"
Zhou Hu lay expressionless on the bed, staring at the blank ceiling, rejecting the suggestion, "No way. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm missing something."
Ma Qiang was in the same position, eyes hollow, a look of utter disinterest, as if in a sage-like state, "It's so empty, I feel like I need to be filled up."
Swoosh!
Zhou Hu suddenly sat up, as if he'd been resurrected.
"I know! We're missing Boss Xiao Chen's buns! Hey, what is it about his buns that make them so delicious?"
Talking about other things might not interest everyone, but when it comes to food, the six guys in the dorm perked up.
"It's not just the buns. I'd say the best dish Boss Xiao Chen makes is the 'Random Mix Fried Rice.' Oh my God, just thinking about it makes me tremble! Too bad I've only had it once."
"Nonsense! The best is definitely the egg dumplings! The blend of egg aroma and meat aroma, I could eat it a hundred times and never tire of it."
"Ha ha... I thought we were kindred spirits, but it turns out you all have such low taste. The best is clearly the pork offal porridge! Limited to forty servings, and not always available daily, I get excited just seeing the pig-killing lady riding over!"
"Brothers, why don't we kidnap Boss Chen and make him cook for us in our cafeteria every day?"
That's how it is in a boys' dormitory.
If a conversation starts with Journey to the West and ends with The Story of the Western Wing, it's perfectly normal.
Zhou Hu sat on his bed feeling like bugs were crawling all over him.
It wasn't because he was tempted by Boss Xiao Chen's delicious food, but because the cook at the sports academy cafeteria was terrible!
It's said that cook was some relative of someone at the school, but what the real situation is, no one knows. The food is terrible, and students always find all sorts of strange things in their dishes.
Like duck necks and whatnot.
A while ago, two stray dogs wandered into the sports academy, and after eating in the cafeteria for a few days, they were never seen again...
Plus, as sports students, they already have a significant amount of daily training. The cafeteria opens at six and closes at seven, and what young person doesn't stay up late? Once it hits ten or eleven, their stomachs growl loudly with hunger.
"Damn, I can't take it anymore. Let's head to the bridge now for some buns. Who's coming!"
Zhou Hu suggested, and Ma Qiang immediately raised his hand.
"Seconded!"
The others also raised their hands, feeling at that moment that even the top ten tortures couldn't match the cruelty of a growling stomach in the middle of the night!
The group quickly threw on some training vests and headed out, and the thought of soon eating delicious braised meat buns filled them with energy.
As they exited the school, Zhou Hu pulled out his phone to call a ride.
"Hu Zi, Hu Zi!" Ma Qiang rubbed his eyes, looking terrified, "Hu Zi, am I so hungry that I'm seeing things?"
Zhou Hu followed Ma Qiang's pointing finger.
Under the dim street lamp, for some unknown reason, a yellow four-wheeled food truck stood there, seemingly out of nowhere.
Even from a distance, they could vaguely see a figure busy inside, the truck's window steaming with a mysterious vapor, as if something were being steamed.
Zhou Hu incredulously rubbed his eyes, "I see it too!"
Something isn't right; this is very strange.
Would anyone really set up a stall in this remote development zone? And it happened to be Boss Chen Mo setting up a stall?
Anyone would be perplexed!
Zhou Hu suddenly felt like crying, "It surely must be Boss Xiao Chen hearing my stomach growling. Let's go, go, go and check it out."
When you've made all the preparations to brave hardships in pursuit of your dreams and then, on the first step, find the dream right in front of you!
That feeling is simultaneously exhilarating and touching.
Zhou Hu yelled excitedly, with his 1.85-meter frame bursting with energy, darting across the road straight for the food truck, "Boss Xiao Chen!"
Chen Mo had just finished steaming the buns and was mixing flour when he looked over after hearing the familiar voice.
An old acquaintance.
"Hey! You guys study here?"
Zhou Hu, both excited and moved, replied, "Yeah, we're all Sports Academy students. Oh, Boss Xiao Chen, why are you setting up a stall here where there's no one?"
As it related to his work, Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to explain. He joked with a smile, "Didn't want you guys to go hungry at night."
The six of them paused briefly, then all gave a thumbs up.
In unison, they said: "Awesome!"
When they glanced at the menu on the food truck, their eyes instantly gleamed with a wolf-like hunger!
