Chapter 143: Fortunate Misunderstanding
Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse
"So... You have cravings for these kinds of quick snacks as well?" she asked. It seems that she was here recently based on the number on her receipt. It was just three numbers away from his.
"I heard that there are quite some youngsters that like to eat here, so I come to check it out. What about you? Shouldn't you be taking a break for the weekend?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. After that night, the two actually didn't meet or contact one another for the entire week.
But the reason behind this was not because it was awkward between them. It was due to the task Zhang Qin Feng gave them. Since a market research report couldn't be done in a mere one to two days, the two parties decided to use a week to see the results.
And part of the reason Alice Moon was here for a quick snack was that she got tired of eating instant noodles daily. Most of them were delicious, but when the palette went a level further, they started to judge the product from the quality of their noodles, seasoning, and packaging.
"What makes you think that I have a break on the weekend? I'm self-employed, so I'm essentially working seven days a week and rest whenever I could." Alice Moon replied. The two soon set their eyes on one of the tables in a corner.
Taking the seat opposite of one another, the two continue with their conversation. The coincidence was like a string that pulled the two together but in a professional way. The casual dressed Alice Moon seems to have a slight difference in her table manner while she's not in her working mode.
The two discussed some of the matters related to the instant noodle factory Zhang Qin Feng was going to start. Since this was not an actual business meeting, many subjects can be discussed between them.
It seems that his thought swayed more to the option of doing both dry and wet products at once. And by sharing his mind in an unofficial discussion like this, it was easier for him to get honest feedback from Alice Moon.
"Going big at the start was good, but most importantly, you'll need to know what kind of market you're looking for. Since this is more about knowing what we prefer, can I know the preferences that make you starting this business? Was it really for profit or for something else?" Alice Moon asked.
She took the chances Zhang Qin Feng was thinking about the answer to grab a few fries.
"I'll just be straightforward with you. What I want to do is to create food that can be eaten everywhere. And while we're at it, let's make it as if we're preparing the food for doomsday." Zhang Qin Feng said. An answer like this would usually cause the document folder to be thrown at him.
Furthermore, he had a stern expression while answering, as if there can be no compromise about this.
"Mr. Zhang... Is this your concept?" Alice Moon stares at Zhang Qin Feng with her two big eyes while trying to see if there's something wrong in his head. But from his head to jaw, expression, and behavior, he was completely normal.
"You can assume it as such. What I want to do was quality, not quantity. Let's say that this product will be introduced to the public and the army, special forces, and others. Even the humanitarian project could benefit from this." Zhang Qin Feng answered.
"Hmm... You know what?" Alice Moon seems to understand something from Zhang Qin Feng's answer. But her action was slightly worrying because it was full of denial from her expression and fluctuating emotion.
But what comes next was totally unexpected.
"Let's do this! Let's create something that not solely for profit, but for the better of the people! What you just said makes me feeling fired up!" Alice Moon raised her voice while agreeing to Zhang Qin Feng's insight.
"You're a hardcore fan of those sci-fi survival movies too, correct? It never crossed my mind that you have that idea as well!" it seems Alice Moon misunderstood Zhang Qin Feng's intention. But hearing her answer somewhat helped him answer some of the difficult questions about what can be done on the product itself.
It was a surprise to him to see how excited Alice Moon looked. She was an entirely different person while talking about sci-fi, doomsday, and survival genre.

Stein quickly responded.
'Let's take it slowly...' Zhang Qin Feng whispered.
"Ahem... Alice... Should we get somewhere to continue talking about this?" Zhang Qin Feng coughed and suggested they change to a more private place. After her response just now, they're currently in the eyes of everyone seated around them.
"Y - Yes... We should get a quiet place to talk about that..." Alice Moon quickly returned to her seat and gave the pulled pork bun a few bites. Her eyes seem to be on fire right now, as the boring research topic gets more interesting.
"Alice..." Zhang Qin Feng called her softly.
"Just call me Wind or Feng next time, alright? Let's finish our food and get somewhere we can talk." Zhang Qin Feng chuckled and did the same to the bun in his hand.
The two ate the food on their tray hastily and left with the cup of soft drinks in their hand. They're like a pair of nerd couples in the eyes of the other youths seated around.
Leaving the place and went straight to Alice Moon's office, Zhang Qin Feng can be said to be the first client of hers that came here not for the sake of business but for a mutual interest.
"Would you like to drink something while we're talking about the product?" Alice Moon asked. She was bending down towards the fridge while speaking, and that gave Zhang Qin Feng a sight of a beautiful buttock of a mature woman before him.
'It's unfortunate that she was married...' Zhang Qin Feng shook his head while appreciating the sight
