Chapter 285: Chapter 134: The Suited Tyrant Chef’s Delicious Food Truck, Part 3

He’d always had a dream.

To own a food truck just like this one and travel all over the country.

Traveling and selling delicious food along the way.

But after looking into it, he found that the range on these vehicles wasn’t great. Buying a long-range model would require modifications, and the whole mess of complicated paperwork was enough to extinguish his grand dream.

"If it were a little less money, that’d be one thing, but how am I going to explain spending this much all at once..." Although Liu Shengnan complained about how she would explain it, the adoration for the truck in her eyes was impossible to hide.

The whole vehicle looked like a mid-sized bus, with the windows converted into a service counter.

The equipment inside was all there, too.

Even though there was only one stove, the cooking space was quite large. It wouldn’t feel crowded at all with two people working inside.

From the front, the truck had a bit of a cartoonish look to it—Zhang Li had stuck a pair of eyelashes above the headlights!

The side was covered in red advertising paper bearing three large words: Delicious Food Truck!

"I already asked. We just have to go to the management office at 6 p.m. and pay a five-yuan management fee. We have to keep the street clean. If they find any uncleaned trash, there’s a fine."

Ling Shuyu had also rushed over.

After finding out what was going on, President Ling immediately expressed her wholehearted approval of the decision.

She even seemed eager to try it herself, more anxious to get things moving than anyone.

’Doesn’t everyone have a little entrepreneurial desire deep down?’

’Joining a big company right after graduation, becoming a director in three years, making a million a year... life is just too boring.’

’I really want to face some setbacks! Running a street stall—now that’s a real challenge!’

Liu Shengnan nodded. "Five yuan is acceptable. And we definitely have to clean up the trash, but with so many of us, cleaning won’t be a problem."

For some reason, the original motivation for doing this was for the company and for the boss.

But now that the food truck was actually sitting here, everyone felt a sense of shared destiny, for better or for worse.

When they were young and uncertain about life, many of them had fantasized that maybe their own careers could start with a street stall...

Some took that step, only to be defeated by the city inspectors in the end.

Others never took that step at all.

The employees of Delicious, for instance, had never run a stall before. Now that they were really about to do it, an inexplicable passion burned in their hearts!

"You all carry on! I have to get back to the company to cook for the little ones, or it’ll be too late." After tidying up the kitchen in the food truck, Zhang Heping said his goodbyes and left.

Zhang Li had to leave as well, her heart full of reluctance as she looked at the adorable food truck.

"You can’t start without me, okay!"

"You have to wait until we’re done with the lunch rush to start!"

Liu Shengnan waved to her. "Don’t worry, we can’t start without the boss anyway!"

After Zhang the Second and Zhang Li left, only Liu Shengnan, Ling Shuyu, Aunt Fang, and Bai Xiaobo remained.

"So what should we do now?" Ling Shuyu was full of energy, looking as if she wanted to grab a megaphone and start shouting for customers right then and there.

Aunt Fang seemed to have some experience. "We should be prepping the ingredients now. Otherwise, when we get the boss to come over tonight, we won’t have anything ready."

"But," Liu Shengnan said, feeling she had been a bit impulsive, "what ingredients should we prepare? What dishes does the boss even know how to make?"

Bai Xiaobo smiled. "The boss can make anything!"

As the product manager, he was the most familiar with the boss’s abilities. "As long as we prepare the ingredients, he can cook it. Trust me."

Hearing this, Ling Shuyu said directly, "Didn’t the boss have me buy all those ingredients this morning? He must be planning to test new dishes. Let’s just buy some more of the same."

"Our Sister Ling is the smart one! Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll go buy ingredients!" Liu Shengnan pointed at Bai Xiaobo. "Aunt Fang and I will go with her to buy ingredients. You stay here and hold down the fort!"

"Why me..."

"Hm?"

Sister Shengnan’s queenly glare of contempt made Bai Xiaobo swallow the rest of his complaints.

The three ladies linked arms and happily piled into Ling Shuyu’s little Mercedes.

When they arrived at Fang’s Meat Industry again, as luck would have it, Brother Fang Chang himself was at the branch near the Botanical Garden.

"Huh? What are you all doing here?"

Brother Fang Chang was surprised to see the three of them. He was inspecting his stores today. There were nearly a hundred Fang’s locations in Jingzhou City, and Fang Chang had to visit at least four or five a day just to get through them all in a month.

"Fang Chang?" Liu Shengnan let out a mischievous giggle. "Tonight we’re going to..."

"Shengnan!" Ling Shuyu hissed quietly. "Hurry up and buy the meat."

At the same time, she shot Liu Shengnan a look, warning her not to say anything more.

Seeing the two women communicating with just their eyes, Fang Chang’s curiosity was instantly piqued. "What’s going on? What are you up to? Don’t tell me you’re going somewhere good to eat without me?"

"Give me ten... no, twenty pounds of beef tenderloin," Ling Shuyu said. She had no idea how many dishes twenty pounds would make, but figured there was no harm in buying extra.

"Hold on... President Ling, aren’t we the best of partners? I just did you that huge favor, you have to admit. What are you buying all this meat for...?"

Ling Shuyu completely ignored Fang Chang’s nagging. "And ten pounds of red and green chili peppers, plus cilantro and celery."

Fang’s Meat Industry’s main business was all types of meat, but some branches, if conditions allowed, would also sell a selection of vegetables.

While Aunt Fang was picking out the vegetables, Brother Fang Chang tailed Ling Shuyu and Liu Shengnan, chattering on endlessly.
