Bringing a baby to a street stall: The anorexic female CEO is brought to tears by her cravings at th

Chapter 128: A Preview of the Starlight Food Festival

A night breeze swept across the edge of Yintai Plaza.

Wang Hai picked up the last two folding chairs, walked to the back of the van, and stuffed the chairs into the trunk.

With a "bang," he slammed the car door shut and dusted off his hands.

"Brother Chen, all the equipment is installed."

Wang Hai shouted towards the stall.

Lin Chen turned the cleaned iron pot upside down on the stove and wiped the surface of the condiment station from top to bottom with a rag to make sure there was no oil residue left.

"it is good."

Lin Chen responded and draped the clean rag over the handlebars of the tricycle.

On a small stool not far away, Tangtang's sharing was also coming to an end.

"...Later, everyone put the building blocks away."

Ms. Liu said that in the next craft class, she will teach us how to build a big castle!

Tangtang drew a big circle in the air with her two little hands, gesturing the size of the famous castle.

Su Qingxue listened patiently, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She reached out and straightened Tangtang's collar, which had been pulled forward in her excitement.

"That sounds interesting."

Su Qingxue said softly, "Then Tangtang will go to kindergarten next week and build the most beautiful big castle."

"Um!"

Tangtang nodded emphatically.

Lin Chen stepped forward and stopped two steps away.

"Tangtang, it's time to pack up and go home."

Lin Chen called out. Hearing her father's words, Tangtang obediently stood up from the plastic stool.

She turned around, picked up her little stool, and thoughtfully placed it at Wang Hai's feet. Then she walked back to Lin Chen and hugged his leg.

Seeing this, Su Qingxue also stood up.

She reached out and patted the hem of her dress, her gentle expression softening slightly.

When Su Qingxue looked at Lin Chenshi.

"Boss Lin."

Su Qingxue spoke.

Lin Chen raised his eyes: "President Su."

"There's something about work that I wanted to talk to you about."

Su Qingxue said, "Yesterday, when Secretary Chen went to negotiate with the urban management officers, he mentioned that the shopping mall was going to hold a 'Summer Starlight Food Festival'."

This isn't some make-up excuse; this event is a core part of the mall's plan for this quarter, and it's real.

Lin Chen listened quietly without interrupting.

"The event will begin next Friday evening and last for three days."

Su Qingxue looked at Lin Chen and continued, "Now that you have obtained the registration certificate for the specially invited merchant, your booth will participate in the event next Friday as an official partner."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hai's eyes lit up, and he leaned in to ask, "President Su, is there going to be a big event planned for the entire plaza for this food festival?"

"Yes. The mall's planning department has already started pre-event promotions throughout the city. A special night market with lights and an interactive stage will be set up outside the plaza, and some online celebrities will be invited to come and take photos."

Su Qingxue glanced at Lin Chen's neatly clean tricycle and reminded him, "The passenger flow over those three days will be several times higher than the usual evening rush hour."

Based on your daily stocking of one or two hundred portions over the past few days, we probably won't be able to hold them until 8 PM.

Lin Chen understood.

"During the event, are there any uniform requirements from the plaza regarding the pricing or types of food offered by the stalls?"

Lin Chen hit the nail on the head regarding the most practical business issue.

No. It operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses.

Su Qingxue answered crisply, "The venue is still this flower bed area."

I'm just giving you a heads-up. If you want to capitalize on this influx of customers and increase your business, you can start coordinating your food supply chain in the next few days.

Lin Chen nodded, his expression remaining calm.

"Understood. We'll increase the stock level ahead of schedule next Friday."

Lin Chen gave a clear answer.

"That's fine then."

Su Qingxue has said everything she needed to say.

Just then, a Maybach smoothly drove up from the street in front of the square.

The car headlights flashed twice and then slowly came to a stop on the roadside outside the flower bed.

The driver quickly got out of the car, walked around to the back seat, and opened the car door.

"The car has arrived, I'm leaving now."

Su Qingxue glanced at the car parked by the roadside, then turned to Lin Chen and Wang Hai and said.

"Take care, Mr. Su."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

"Take care, Mr. Su! We'll save you a piping hot plate of fried rice for next Friday's food festival!"

Wang Hai smiled and waved.

Su Qingxue lowered her head and looked at Tangtang beside Lin Chen's legs.

"Tangtang, Auntie's home."

Su Qingxue said softly.

Goodbye, Auntie.

Tangtang loosened her grip on Lin Chen's leg and waved her little hand obediently, "Auntie, come back for fried rice tomorrow!"

"it is good."

Su Qingxue turned around, walked to the roadside, bent down and sat in the back seat of the Maybach.

The driver gently closed the car door and returned to the driver's seat.

With a deep engine roar, the Maybach merged into the traffic and quickly disappeared into the bustling night.

Wang Hai stood there, watching until the car's taillights were completely out of sight before turning his gaze away.

He glanced at the small stool that Su Qingxue had just sat on, then looked at Lin Chen, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Brother Chen, can you believe it?"

Wang Hai remarked, "When I see President Su bringing his secretary to buy food, he's always cold and doesn't acknowledge anyone."

I didn't expect him to be so easygoing in private.

Lin Chen walked over, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the tricycle, unscrewed it, and took a sip.

"Whether she's a CEO or an ordinary office worker."

Lin Chen tightened the bottle cap. "To us, when we get to this stall, she's just a customer who pays for her meal."

The buyer-seller relationship is the simplest; don't overthink it.

After listening, Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Brother Chen, you really see things clearly!"

That's right. No matter how wealthy she is, if she comes here, it's for this fried rice.

"Get to work, then go home."

Lin Chen interrupted the casual conversation.

He bent down, picked up Tangtang, and walked towards the bread cart parked next to him.

"No need to count spoons tonight, get in the car and go to sleep."

Lin Chen opened the car door, placed the little girl in the child safety seat, and carefully fastened the seat belt.

Tangtang yawned slightly, rubbed her eyes, and her little face turned rosy.

"Daddy, I ate all the vegetables in my bowl at lunchtime today, and Teacher Liu rewarded me with a little red flower."

Am I awesome?

"Great. I'll wash your face and feet when we get home."

Lin Chen touched her face and closed the car door.

Wang Hai also got into the driver's seat, inserted the car key, and prepared to start the engine.

Lin Chen walked to the driver's side window and knocked on the window.

Wang Hai lowered the glass: "What's wrong, Brother Chen?"

Is there anything else that hasn't been taken?

"no."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Hai and calmly reminded him, "Tomorrow is Saturday."

"Saturday?"

Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Oh dear, I've been so busy around the stove that I've forgotten how I live my life."

Tomorrow's the weekend!

"Hmm. Tangtang isn't going to kindergarten tomorrow."

Lin Chen explained the arrangements for tomorrow, "You don't need to rush to the market to buy supplies in the morning."

You've been working non-stop with me these past few days, you must be exhausted.

I can sleep in a little longer tomorrow morning and won't have to get up early.

We can meet in the yard at 8:00 AM.

Upon hearing that he could sleep in, Wang Hai's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Alright! That's great. I'll catch up on my sleep tomorrow morning and come find you in the yard at 10 o'clock sharp!"

Wang Hai readily agreed.

"Drive carefully on the road."

After giving his instructions, Lin Chen turned and walked towards his electric tricycle.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I'll drive in front!"

Wang Hai rolled up the car window and started the van.

Lin Chen got on the tricycle and turned the key.

The two cars drove away from Yintai Plaza, one after the other.

Facing the gentle night breeze of the city, we drove smoothly along the flat street towards our rented room.
