Losing Money to Be a Tycoon Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118 - The Cold-Faced Lady Appears Again!

“Burp.”

“Boss Pei, I really can’t eat anymore. Thank you for hosting me!”

“Especially the lobsters. I really can’t eat anymore!”

At the entrance of the nameless restaurant, Li Shi burped and rejected Boss Pei’s good intentions to ask him to stay and eat more lobsters.

What’s more, Li Shi had been consciously controlling himself recently. He could not eat too much seafood anymore because he realized that his uric acid was a little high during his last physical examination. If he did not control himself and drink alcohol or eat seafood, his gout would probably come knocking on his door within minutes.

Speaking of this, Li Shi felt that he had to learn from Boss Pei.

Boss Pei might have the nameless restaurant and could eat seafood at any time but he was very restrained. He would only eat at the nameless restaurant once a week.

Everything else was Fish-Catching Take-Out and Food.Harmony’s work meals and healthy meals.

It was obvious that Boss Pei was a very disciplined person to care so much about his health at such a young age. What’s more, he had a long-term goal. He definitely wanted to maintain his health and fight for Tengda until he was sixty, seventy, or even older. He wanted to personally turn Tengda into an incomparably glorious business empire!

Li Shi could not help but sigh. Some things were indeed innate.

He was considered promising when he was young. However, he asked himself honestly. At that time, he was very playful. Sometimes, he would play in time and overdraw on his health. It was impossible for him to be like Boss Pei, thinking about what would happen decades in advance when he was so young.

What was the ancient saying?

The reckless and short-sighted do not take three meals a day and cause problems for their tummy, those who think mid-term would keep food for rainy days while those who think long-term would start gathering food from March.

To put it simply, the farther one went, the more food they had to prepare in advance.

Boss Pei was obviously thinking long-term. He was only twenty years old but he already knew how to restrain his own appetite. He usually focused on Fish-Catching Take-Out’s healthy meals. Obviously, he wanted to ensure that his body remained in a perfect state so that he could still struggle at work for a few decades.

Li Shi felt that he should learn from Boss Pei on this point!

“From tomorrow onwards, I will reduce my social interaction and eat more Fish-Catching Take-Out!”

“Yes, make an appointment for tomorrow’s work meal.”

Li Shi sat in the car and burped as he opened the Fish-Catching Take-Out application to reserve tomorrow’s work meal.

“Eh? Wasn’t there nothing in this section before?”

After opening the application, Li Shi realized that the interface layout had changed slightly.

The layout of Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application was completely different from other take-out software.

The other take-out software was serving many shops at the same time, so the home page was more messy. There was a search bar, different types of labels like “Quality dinner, home-cooked meals, pizza burgers, buns and porridge shop”, and a nearby restaurant list.

The specific menu would only be displayed after entering a certain restaurant.

However, Fish-Catching Take-Out was different. It was filled with their own food.

These dishes were also divided into work meals, fitness meals, healthy meals, nutrition meals, and high-end meals, but they still looked simple and clear-cut.

Apart from this content, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application also had some dynamic publicity pictures. They were mainly used to promote recent new activities or new dishes to guide customers in choosing new products.

Li Shi noticed that Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application seemed to have removed the few new dishes that had been promoting previously and replaced them with a fixed publicity picture at a more critical location!

It read: Delicious Food Set!

There was also a salivating rendering picture. Inside were roasted cold noodles, fried bananas, and seaweed cakes. The portions were not big and formed a small tasting package.

There were a total of two types of Delicious Food Set Meals. They were all well-matched. For example, cold noodles and pancakes were almost the same type of snack. Thus, they would not appear in the same set.

Therefore, there were a total of six types of snacks in the two combo meals. They were both more popular and easier to make.

“Eh? That’s not right, right?”

Li Shi’s first reaction was that his APP positioning was wrong.

Just like other take-out software, Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application would also automatically select the nearest Fish-Catching Take-Out store based on the customer’s cell phone position.

Li Shi had just taken a car and left the nameless restaurant. The default restaurant that he often ordered was near Fu Hui Investments, his own company. After all, he only ordered take-out at noon when he was at work.

However, these two places were very far from the snack market!

Why was there publicity for ‘Delicious Food Set Meal’?’

The application of Fish-Catching Take-Out had always been very rigorous. The situation of various Fish-Catching Take-Out stores were different. Sometimes, a certain dish in a certain store would not be released or would be lacking recently. Then, the application users who located this store would not see the publicity of the relevant dishes.

That way, they could avoid the situation where they were interested in publicity but could not buy it.

It was normal for Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application to promote the snack market. However, could it be delivered from so far away?

Li Shi suddenly had an impulse. He switched the shop to the one he often ate near Fu Hui Investments and ordered a few ‘Delicious Food Set Meals’.

Not long after, they received orders, prepared meals, and delivered!

This meant that these snacks were not made in the snack market but in Fish-Catching Take-Out’s shop!

Li Shi had just arrived at his company when the delivery man from Fish-Catching Take-Out arrived.

“Here’s your meal. Enjoy.”

The delivery man was still so polite.

Li Shi reached out and took a few snacks. He came to the office and greeted everyone. “Everyone, put down your work first. Come and eat!”

It was Saturday afternoon. Many employees at Fu Hui Investments were still working overtime.

It was normal for such companies to work overtime.

Companies like Tengda that were determined not to work overtime were very rare.

Li Shi knew very well that he could not become a boss like Boss Pei. There was no need to force himself to become such a boss. Sometimes, it was enough as long as one worked hard to achieve a clear conscience.

At a time like this, it was better for a boss to give his employees who were working overtime a few snacks than to not even take a look.

“Thank you, Boss Li!”

“Boss Li, what did you order? It smells so good!”

Everyone surrounded him.

The snack set might be a snack but it was still Tengda’s usual style: recyclable cutlery.

However, these cutlery were obviously smaller. They looked to be custom-made. There were also subtle differences in the shape of the cutlery according to the different snacks.

“I’ve already eaten. Everyone, feel free to eat whatever you want.” After Li Shi opened the lid of the cutlery, a fragrance immediately filled the air.

“Eh? Isn’t this the roasted cold noodles from the snack market? This shape cannot be wrong!”

“But the snack market is very far from here.Do they deliver here?”

“That’s not right. In terms of temperature and texture, it’s obviously not delivered from a distance. What’s more, the taste seems to be different. It’s still different from the roasted cold noodles in the snack market.”

An employee who had been to the snack market tasted the cold noodles and commented while savoring it.

There were not many snacks. Soon, the bottom was filled.

At that moment, someone said in surprise, “Eh, look, the logo on this cutlery looks familiar. There’s also the logo on the chopsticks?”

Li Shi also noticed the logo.

It was squarish in the form of a seal. Inside were four traditional characters. They were not regular scripts, but rather they were in special flowery character. There were also beautiful patterns as embellishments. It looked neither too gaudy nor rigid. The seal and this font gave off a sense of tradition and trend.

The words in the seal were ‘Cold-Faced Lady’!

Li Shi immediately recognized it was the Cold-Faced Lady’s logo!

Previously, this logo had also appeared in many places when the Cold-Faced Lady became popular. After that, the Cold-Faced Lady had been silent for a long time, so these memories were almost forgotten.

However, these memories were immediately awakened when he saw it again.

“Why is it the Cold-Faced Lady?”

“Isn’t this a snack from the snack market?”

“It’s from Fish-Catching Take-Out…”

Everyone who was eating various snacks were confused.

This feeling was a little like ordering a steamed dumpling and noticing the logo of the KAIFENGCAI on the bamboo tray as one ate.

Li Shi suddenly realized something. He immediately took out his cell phone and checked the promotional page and details page of the snack package. He found two sentences that he had subconsciously ignored.

“The Cold-Faced Lady will provide all the snack formulas!”

“Welcome to ‘The Stalls’ to understand the past life of these snacks!”

Li Shi slammed the table after he understood what happened. “I understand now!”

The employees were confused. “Boss Li, what do you understand?”

Li Shi laughed. “I knew that the shares I held on to would definitely become profitable! Everyone, don’t work overtime today. Go home! Go back and rest!”

Everyone was overjoyed.

There was good food and no need to work overtime. Double joy!

“Boss Li, what good news do you have? Can you share it with us?”

Li Shi smiled. “Do any of you remember the shares of the Cold-Faced Lady we bought previously?”

Everyone looked at each other. Three or four people nodded.

“I remember. And then? Wasn’t that… a not very successful investment?”

Li Shi laughed. “Not very successful? It just wasn’t time yet!”

“Look, isn’t the Cold-Faced Lady about to be revived?”

A smart employee immediately reacted. “I understand! Boss Li, are you saying that Boss Pei obviously intends to use Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application to promote the Cold-Faced Lady, so the Cold-Faced Lady is going to make a comeback?”

Li Shi nodded. “You’re right, but not all of them!”

“If using Fish-Catching Take-Out’s application alone could resurrect the cold-faced lady, Boss Pei would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?”

“You only saw the surface, but not the deeper meaning within!”
