Shen's Father approached Shen Wei and said, "Your Uncle Liao wants to come and pick fruits here."
Every time he visited the livestream, he was the top donor, gifting several million yuan.
He was also a local tycoon in their circle.
In the hierarchy of the wealthy, he stood at the very top. Money was just a number to him.
Someone must have recommended the kindergarten to him.
Now he had become a fan of Starry Sky Kindergarten's livestreams.
Whenever he joined, the screen would be filled with flashy gift effects.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
It was a dazzling sight for viewers.
Rumor had it that people were even privately messaging him, trying to compete for the top donor position.
He had contacted Shen's Father because he wanted to experience the children's joy firsthand.
Knowing that Shen Wei was busy, he didn't want to bother her with such a small matter.
So he decided to approach someone he considered influential.
As it happened, Shen's Father had previously bought some mutual funds and stocks, one of which was recommended by Uncle Liao.
It had made him a fortune.
That's why he had invested in Shen Wei's Third-tier University, becoming a board member and setting up a scholarship fund, wanting to do some good.
Now that Uncle Liao had made his request, Shen's Father felt he couldn't refuse.
Shen Wei said, "Just a moment!" Then she made a call to Liu Chef.
After all, such matters should be discussed with the person in charge.
Liu Chef immediately agreed upon hearing the request.
Although he wasn't part of the wealthy circle,
As a top chef, he was well aware of which families truly had influence.
He was touched that Shen Wei had called him about this.
It would have been fine if Shen Wei had agreed directly.
But the fact that she called him showed real respect.
He readily agreed, "Of course!"
When Uncle Liao arrived, he was dressed in casual clothes.
The children had already finished their picking. The vast vegetable garden was all his.
He fell in love with it the moment he entered.
As soon as he stepped in, he was greeted by the fresh scent of vegetables.
He had been itching to come ever since he saw the children picking vegetables on the livestream.
Now that he was here in person, it was even more impressive.
They tasted incredible even with normal preparation.
The home chef, eager to please the tycoon, pulled out all the stops, bringing out the best in each vegetable.
For the first time, the tycoon understood that the phrase "so delicious you could bite your tongue off" wasn't just an exaggeration.
The other tycoons also wanted to visit, but they were too polite to ask directly.
Shen's Father knew that if he opened this door, it would be hard to refuse others later.
So he ignored all their hints.
The other tycoons suggested, "Why not sell tickets?" They really wanted to come and pick vegetables.
They were willing to pay even if it was expensive.
Somehow, this idea made its way onto the internet.
Netizens shared the same thought.
Soon, every video Liu Chef posted about the vegetable garden had comments saying, "Sell tickets!"
Liu Chef was walking on air.
Yesterday, each of the little treasures from the picking garden had taken two pounds of vegetables home.
The parents, having tasted Starry Sky Kindergarten's vegetables before, treated them with great care.
The parent group chat was flooded with food photos and long, praising messages.
Liu Chef couldn't stop scrolling through them.
He wore a satisfied smile.
After just a few steps, he bumped into Chef Chen.
Liu Chef's smile hadn't faded yet when Chef Chen said sarcastically, "Feeling smug again, are we?"
"Huh?"
Chef Chen grumbled, "You really can't help showing off every little thing you've got."
Now even people asking for vegetables were coming to Chef Chen.
These vegetables were needed for the main restaurant and the pop-up store.
In a few days, they would also be supplying meals to the second Starry Sky Kindergarten.
They were already stretched thin.
Now they had the attention of the entire internet and all the students' parents.
No matter how many vegetables they had, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy everyone's interest.
Chef Chen was at a loss with his junior colleague.
Liu Chef felt a bit guilty: "But I didn't agree this time, did I?"
If he had acted like he used to, getting excited over every compliment, he might have switched to selling vegetables on the spot.
Remembering how selling seeds had blocked the road last time, he shuddered.
When your side business becomes too successful, it can be a sweet burden.
