11 PM at night.

Zhuo Qianqian prettily soaked a jujube, then had a nice soak in the bath.

She took out her phone, found her mischievous friend, and decisively sent the video Wang Fan had taken that afternoon.

Then she turned off her phone, satisfied, and switched off the lights to sleep.

Let the video spread on its own for a while!

He Lu Xue spent the whole evening on her phone but didn't see any retaliation from her mischievous friend, a smug smile curling on her lips.

Calling me a scoundrel and tempting me with skewers, well, I'm not someone that's easy to mess with either!

The food I just sent you, haven't you had it before? Aren't you curious about its taste?

Hahaha, honestly, I'm quite curious too...

But oh well, as long as that foodie doesn't know that even I haven't tried it!

Seeing the time, He Lu Xue prepared to go to sleep; staying up late is the original sin of aging.

"Ding-dong."

Just as she was about to sleep, there was a notification on her phone, the distinct sound indicating it was that foodie sending her a message.

"Tsk tsk tsk, replying this late? That boss is quite tough, making them work so late, suddenly I feel a bit sorry for the little foodie."

He Lu Xue muttered to herself and opened her phone to show a bit of concern for her mischievous friend.

But the moment she opened her phone, He Lu Xue thought this boss was far too kind; they should make this foodie work overtime 24 hours instead!

"Oops, sorry, little Xue Xue, the dish you sent, coincidentally, our boss knows how to make it, and he specially made me an employee meal with it. The sweet and sour taste was indeed great. If you have any good eats in mind, remember to recommend them to me, our boss can make it for my employee meal, hahaha! As for why I'm replying at this time, it's not because I'm working overtime, but... because it's easy to get hungry at this hour! Friendly reminder, don't open the video, don't open the video, don't open the video!"

He Lu Xue clenched her fist, the veins on her forehead throbbing: "Curse you! 이개자식! I'm not done with you yet!"

"That scoundrel must be lying, this video must have nothing. Litchis are so expensive nowadays, what kind of boss would use them for employee meals?"

He Lu Xue's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she opened the mysterious video.

The video played, revealing a splash of orange-yellow, tender white litchi flesh, bouncy shrimp, and Zhuo Qianqian's annoyingly satisfied face...

"Grumble..."

To maintain her figure, He Lu Xue didn't eat much at night, but seeing such tempting food, her stomach protested loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Ahhhh! This is killing me! Zhuo Qianqian, you wait for me."

"Sorry, the user you're calling is currently unreachable, please try again later. Sorry..."

"Mount Tai, is it! I'll set off first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Ahhhh! I'm starving!"

"You wretched Zhuo Qianqian!"

...

Wang Fan was still awake at the moment.

He suddenly realized something, it seemed he had been at Mount Tai for five days already.

Because just then, the system's reward notification had popped up.

"Ding, task 'Stall at the Summit of Mount Tai in Lu Dong Province' completed, awarded permanent usage rights for the 'Complete Guide to Barbecue Recipes', 1000 points awarded, obtained permanent stall usage rights at South Celestial Gate of Mount Tai (60 square meters, optionally leased out by the system, estimated earnings 12,000 RMB/month)."

"Ding, task 'Sell 500 skewers continuously per day' completed, awarded 10,000 points."

What is called a pleasant surprise? This is a pleasant surprise!

Just completing one task, and I went from being a tenant to a landlord!

If this happens a few more times, can I wear slippers, take a sack, and live a carefree life collecting rent?

Just thinking about it is so exciting, isn't it?

As for what to do with the money, Wang Fan hadn't thought about it.

But all those figures sure do look pleasing!

Though the task was completed, Wang Fan didn't plan to rest tomorrow, since it would feel too abrupt to just close up, like vanishing without a trace; also, there were many people who hadn't gotten to try the food today, it wouldn't be right to leave them waiting tomorrow.

But with this task completed, and having seen almost everything at Mount Tai, there's no need to stay any longer, after one more day of grilling, the trip to Mount Tai would officially end.

With this thought, he picked up his phone and sent out a message in the group: "Dear friends, tomorrow will be my last day setting up shop at Mount Tai, friends with plans are welcome to come and eat. After tomorrow, I will embark on my journey again."

Wang Fan usually didn't check the group much nor send messages often, but whenever he did, the group would buzz with excitement, especially with such a sorrowful message.

"Holy crap! I just booked the day after tomorrow's visit to Mount Tai, and Boss Wang is leaving tomorrow?!"

"Hehehe, luckily, I had the foresight and already had Boss Wang's skewers today, those who didn't get to try can cry now."

"What the heck! I also wanted to book for tomorrow, but that ridiculous management at Mount Tai said all slots were full, could only book for the day after, and I was aiming for Boss Wang's skewers, what's the point of going now?!"

"Who isn't, I heard Mount Tai now serves 50,000 visitors a day, but that's not even enough for Boss Wang's own fans, does he not want to promote tourism well?"

"No way, we can't just let this matter go, I might not be able to control Boss Wang, but can I not seek an explanation from Mount Tai? Visitors are god!"

"Exactly, let's go complain now, they must open more booking slots for tomorrow, or else we demand refunds!"

"Let's go, guys, together! Meanwhile, spread the word on Weibo, we can't let those coming just for Boss Wang's skewers make the trip for nothing!"

Wang Fan, seeing message after message pop up in the group, couldn't help but laugh and quickly sent a message: "Everyone, please don't act rashly, even if I'm not at Mount Tai, I'm still in Lu Dong. In a couple of days, I'll be going to Zibo to help two friends start a skewer shop, everyone can still enjoy the skewers there."

"@Boss Wang, helping friends means it might not be the same as your own store, right? But the next stop is Zibo, got it noted, since we're visiting Lu Dong anyway, visiting one more place sounds good."

"@Boss Wang, don't worry about it, this isn't your concern, we're taking this up with Lu Dong Cultural Tourism, they must increase booking slots!"

"@Boss Wang, you don't need to bother."

Mount Tai's management's hotline was overwhelmed that night.

Complaint calls kept the entire department on edge.

Kong Weide was also informed at the earliest possible moment, and after understanding the situation, he felt quite uneasy.

He had been excited about the record-breaking visitor numbers at Mount Tai these past few days, but had forgotten Wang Fan's tendency to leave within a few days completely.

No choice, he had to call Director Liu Xi late at night.

Liu Xi promptly took action: "Increase the quota to 75,000 visitors, I'll handle the rest."
