The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 112 Unorthodox Methods

"Ah~"

On the way back to the hotel from the amusement park, Cao Dongdong stretched and said, "I feel like something's missing from the amusement park tonight."

"What's missing?" Zhao Qian asked casually.

"We missed the fireworks display." Cao Dongdong said with a hint of regret. "If there had been a fireworks display tonight, it would have been perfect."

"There's nothing we can do about it," Qin Lang replied. "A year ago, the amusement park had an accident because of a fireworks display."

"This matter has always been a source of resentment for Director Ye."

After he finished speaking, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Before the amusement park closed tonight, Qin Lang took some time to visit the location corresponding to the sixth landscape painting.

However, just like last time, the Traveler's Book remains unchanged.

He had previously thought that perhaps the amusement park's popularity had recovered somewhat, but it hadn't yet reached the point where it was worth visiting.

But Cao Dongdong's reflections have given him some new ideas.

Is it possible that the fireworks display is part of it?
If that's the case, he'll have to find a way to persuade Director Ye to restart the fireworks display.

but…

How can I resolve the misunderstanding in the other person's heart...?

On the rest of the journey, Qin Lang kept pondering this question.

But even after returning to his hotel room, he still couldn't come up with a practical solution.

Looking at Danbao, who had been helping him set up the stall all day and looked exhausted, Qin Lang couldn't help but rub its big ears.

Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Let's boost the amusement park's popularity first, then we can consider other things.

"Snapped!"

Sun Zhihong slammed his hand on the office desk, looking angrily at Zhong Chang, who had returned from gathering information. His already fierce face looked even more terrifying now.

"You're saying that business at 'Happy Party' amusement park is much better than before today?"

“Yes, Director.” Zhong Chang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “They didn’t charge people to enter the dining area as we predicted. Instead, they built a separate, free passage for the dining area.”

"This way, diners can enter the amusement park for free and enjoy the food."

"Old Ye did show some cleverness this time," Sun Zhihong said dejectedly. "Even so, shouldn't the diners leave after they've finished eating?"

"Don't tell me that because the food stalls were in the amusement park, they ate there, bought tickets, and went into that godforsaken place?"

“This…” Zhong Chang’s expression immediately became conflicted.

Based on his on-site investigation today, it seems that this is indeed the case.

After a moment of silence, Zhong Chang spoke truthfully, "Boss, the food at those stalls is really delicious."

"Because it's so delicious, every diner who goes there wants to try all the food, but a person's stomach capacity is limited."

"To give their stomachs time to process the food, they had no choice but to wait there, and coincidentally, there was an amusement park nearby..."

After listening to Zhong Chang's words, Sun Zhihong also fell silent.

His statement seems to make sense.

However, there is a problem here.

"Are those food stalls really that delicious?"

"Really!" Zhong Chang nodded emphatically, while subtly wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth.

My goodness, that fried rice was the most delicious food he had ever eaten.

Without a doubt! Seeing that Sun Zhihong was still somewhat skeptical, Zhong Chang suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead, took out his phone, found the latest digital issue of "Gourmet House" magazine, and handed it to Sun Zhihong.

"Look, Principal, they've even been featured on 'Food House'!"

"What?" Sun Zhihong's expression changed slightly. He grabbed the phone and started looking at it. The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.

After reading it, Sun Zhihong frowned. He paced back and forth in his office, then stopped a moment later and looked sharply at Zhong Chang.

"This can't go on!"

Even "Food House" has featured it, so tomorrow's "Fun Party" business will probably be several times that of today!
If the food there is really as delicious as described in the article, then tomorrow is just the beginning!
Judging from this, his plan to acquire "Happy Party" amusement park at a low price and turn it into the second "Super Player" is probably going to fall through!
He must take action!
Moreover, ordinary actions are probably too late.

“Tomorrow you and Liu Zhe will work together.” Sun Zhihong looked at Zhong Chang, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

You know what I mean, right?

Liu Zhe?

Zhong Chang's heart skipped a beat.

Although everyone was an employee under Sun Zhihong, Liu Zhe was different from the others.

He was someone who handled shady matters for Sun Zhihong.

If Zhong Chang remembers correctly, Liu Zhe was involved in the fire at the "Happy Party" amusement park a year ago.

At this moment, Sun Zhihong instructed him to act together with Liu Zhe…

This clearly means they will use some unconventional methods to deal with the "Fun Party" amusement park.

Zhong Chang took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Director, I understand!"

Meanwhile, in a park in Bailushan City.

In the quiet grove at night, the firelight flickered, and the faint aroma of food wafted through the air.

"for you!"

Lomi handed the dinner she had prepared to Liu Chuang. Watching him wolf down his food, she smiled slightly and slowly ate her own portion. "You should be grateful that this beautiful girl made dinner for you."

"Hehe, Lomi, your cooking is really good." Liu Chuang shoveled food into his mouth. "But why is it so lavish today?"

"Because this is the last meal."

"Pfft...cough cough!" Liu Chuang, who was showing off his food just a second ago, choked and coughed twice. His face turned red before he came to his senses.

"The last meal?!"

“Yes.” Lomi shrugged with a smile. “We’re out of funds. Tonight’s dinner is our last bit of money.”

"Didn't they say that after the water source we submitted last time was delivered to the organization, we would receive a large reward?" Liu Chuang asked with a mournful face.

“Yes, but not so fast.” Lomi shrugged. “The water source testing will take some time before there’s a reward.”

Looking at the food in his hand, Liu Chuang suddenly felt reluctant to eat it.

"Alright, don't be so discouraged." Lomi crossed her arms and showed a smug expression. "I've come up with a brilliant idea."

"You can enjoy delicious food without spending a penny."

"What method?!" Liu Chuang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Kukuku~" Lomi smiled mysteriously, took out her phone and opened the digital magazine of "Gourmet House," "Look who this is?"

"Qin Lang?" Liu Chuang's eyes widened. "Setting up a stall in an amusement park?"

“Great!” Lomi tilted her head slightly. “Let’s go to the amusement park tomorrow too.”

"As for delicious food... this beautiful girl has her own methods!"
