Chapter 206: Wu Kai's Weibo Goes Viral!

"Is that it?" Chen Jianhai raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"That's it." Grandpa Han Shan fanned himself with a palm fan, speaking cheerfully.

"Oh, you should have said so earlier. You gave me a fright."

Chen Jianhai laughed heartily, snatched Grandpa Han Shan's fan, and fanned himself. "Of course, I'll go!"

"Woof woof!"

As they were talking, the little white dog from the coffee shop suddenly ran over, wagging its tail.

Earlier, Feng Di had locked the little white dog inside to prevent it from stealing the meat skewers.

Feng Di and Xiao Lang opened the door and brought in the grill. The little white dog immediately ran towards the aroma of the meat skewers, lifting its front paws and kicking its hind paws, just about to jump onto the cart when suddenly,

"Hmph," came a sound from Grandpa Han Shan.

The little white dog abruptly lifted its head. In the next moment, to Chen Jianhai's astonishment,

the nimble little white dog made a sharp turn in mid-air and landed obediently on the ground.

Then it let out a soft "woof," wagging its tail quickly, circling Grandpa Han Shan's legs, running and jumping excitedly.

"Bow," Grandpa Han Shan ordered. Incredibly, the little white dog lowered its head as if it understood.

What the...?!

Chen Jianhai was stunned.

Grandpa Han Shan smiled at Chen Jianhai, "What did I tell you? On this island, dogs lower their heads when they see me. They don't dare to bark or make noise. See?"

"I see, you're amazing," Chen Jianhai admitted, completely impressed.

"So, what about your resort hotel?" Grandpa Han Shan asked with a smile.

"It's almost ready... I'll invite you to the opening," Chen Jianhai said evasively.

"Haha, I'll be waiting!"

Grandpa Han Shan seemed to especially enjoy seeing Chen Jianhai's stubborn, competitive nature. This young man didn't look like a big boss who could build a grand hotel, but even he wouldn't brag like that.

"Alright, I won't keep you from your work. Don't forget Friday night!"

After saying that, Grandpa Han Shan happily walked away, disappearing into the night...

In the following days,

"Brother Chen, ten beef skewers, ten lamb skewers, five pork skewers, six chicken hearts, and two servings of beef tongue!"

At the barbecue stall, Feng Di had just served beer to a table of customers and turned to shout the order to Chen Jianhai.

"Got it!"

Chen Jianhai expertly took the skewers from the warmer and handed them to Xiao Lang.

The three of them worked in perfect harmony—one grilling, one passing the skewers, and one serving the dishes and drinks.

Xiao Lang's barbecue stall was like a whirlwind, bringing an unabashed food storm to the island's usual seafood fare.

Feng Di's coffee shop also experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity!

Although coffee wasn't in demand, beer and soft drink sales skyrocketed.

Seeing the tangible benefits, Feng Di treated Xiao Lang like a god of wealth.

Every evening, before Xiao Lang arrived, Feng Di would set up the grill, small tables, and plastic stools, actively helping out.

The bustling street-side barbecue stall was officially established!

The barbecue stall's success indirectly boosted the garlic sales at Da Lajiao's vegetable store.

In just a few days, the price of garlic rose significantly, and there was even a shortage.

While Xiao Lang's barbecue stall thrived, the pastry business at Langai Hotel also saw a gradual rise.

Recently, their star sugar cookies climbed to the top 10 in dessert sales in Nanjiang City.

Xu Bo, wanting to expand the market and increase the hotel's pastry reputation, decided after consulting with Chen Jianhai to sell these cookies as a signature item in the hotel café.

With the taste and fame established, the remaining challenge was packaging.

At the island hotel lobby,

Chen Jianhai sat on a birdcage chair, conducting a video meeting with his staff via headphones.

"Boss, these are some designs and gift boxes from our marketing department. Please take a look."

On the video, Lin Suyang said as he sent over about fifteen designs of different colors and patterns for packaging paper and gift boxes—pink, blue, green, you name it.

The designs were extremely charming, appealing even to tough men.

"These colors look similar. Aren't they too repetitive?" Chen Jianhai asked, flipping through them in confusion.

"They're different," Lin Suyang explained. "For example, we have Tiffany blue, powder blue, glass blue, and sky blue for the blue tones. The green ones include avocado green, mint green..."

"Stop!" Chen Jianhai interrupted, feeling overwhelmed by the variations.

Seeing that Lin Suyang was about to explain further, Chen Jianhai quickly said, "Send these to Zifan and Bai Cheng, let the girls choose. Whatever they like, we'll go with that."

Since these sweet snacks mainly targeted women, he figured the girls' preferences would be better suited.

"Got it, boss!"

That afternoon, Lin Suyang launched a poll in the Langai Hotel staff group, showcasing all the packaging designs for the girls to vote on their favorite styles.

In the end, the pink star and moon design and the dark blue star and moon design emerged as the most popular choices, officially being launched on major food delivery apps.

"Your delivery is here, enjoy your meal."

"Thank you."

Fang Meng took the delivery, pulled out a small square pink gift box from the white bag, and opened it to find three neatly arranged star-shaped sugar cookies.

"Wow! So pretty!"

She took out her phone, snapped a few photos, and sent them to her WeChat group before taking a bite of one cookie.

Instantly, the fine sugar frosting paired with the crispy cookie spread a sweet, blissful taste in her mouth.

"That's the taste!"

Ever since her brother brought back a star sugar cookie from Langai Hotel, she couldn't forget it. So, when she found out they were available for delivery, she immediately ordered three to enjoy.

Taking another big bite, she relaxed on the sofa, eating the cookie while browsing Weibo.

Then, two trending topics caught her attention:

"Wu Kai's Coastal Tongbei Fist"

"Unnamed Chef Spars with Wu Kai, A Real-life Master"

Fang Meng clicked on the second topic.

The video was only 40 seconds long, showing Wu Kai sparring with a black, chubby man in a chef's uniform.

Wu Kai's arms whipped like leather straps, slashing at the chubby man, whose legs seemed rooted to the ground. His punches were strong and forceful, elbows like knives, knees like spears, both men going at it head-on.

Unlike the special effects in movies and TV shows, their punches even made whooshing sounds, giving a raw, visceral feel.

Unfortunately, the footage was shaky, likely shot on the fly, with voices exclaiming:

"Holy crap, they're fighting! Break it up, break it up!"

"Boss, is this a film shoot?... I don't know!"

Fang Meng was stunned, "Is this video real?!"
