Thanks to the fervent creations of meme-loving netizens, the topic of Lin Ji’s Food swiftly climbed to the fifth spot on the Yanjing Region’s topical chart.
Upon opening the topic of Lin Ji’s Food, it had turned into a sea of comedic skits.
There were all kinds of bizarre stories, mixing elements of time travel, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, cultivation, martial arts, post-apocalyptic settings, history, and primeval myths. These attracted numerous online writers seeking inspiration.
Looking at the like rankings, the top spot already had over one hundred thousand likes. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Driven by curiosity, Lin Xu clicked to see the content of the skit, but he was stunned by the first line:
"Boss Lin’s college entrance exam scores were not so promising..."
Lin Xu: ?????
Can’t you guys produce something normal for once?
He thought there would be some explosive content next, but the second line of the skit took a sudden turn:
"So, Boss Lin went to Mount Tai, hoping to burn some incense to change his luck. But just as he reached the summit, nine giant dragons descended from the sky, pulling an enormous Ancient Bronze Coffin..."
What the heck!
This is turning into a Heavenly Cover storyline?
Indeed, watching those meme-creating YouTubers is just for fun. The real meme creators are the netizens.
He scrolled further. In just a few hundred words, the skit bizarrely mixed "Ah Bin," "Heavenly Cover," "Journey to the West," "Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams," "Battle Through The Heavens," "Sword Coming," "Master of Mysterious," and multiple other well-known novels.
One can’t help but admire this guy’s story-building ability—smooth plot transitions, natural progressions. No wonder it’s number one in the like rankings.
But when he saw the author’s name clearly, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

Was this... written by that girl, Lele?
The teachers at Haidian Middle School are really dropping the ball, aren’t they?
Can’t they put a little academic pressure on this girl?
Upon seeing her boss reviewing the skits under the Lin Ji’s Food topic, Shu Yun said with a smile,
"Lele wrote dozens of skits; this one has the highest number of likes. Colleagues from both the company and the store have also written skits. Some are funny, some not, but everyone is contributing to the topic’s popularity."
Lin Xu glanced at the delighted-looking general manager.
Smiling so happily, you really enjoy the thrill of roasting the boss, huh?
He didn’t mind the employees doing this.
It not only relieved the employees’ stress but also enhanced the topic’s popularity—it was the best of both worlds!
Other companies might need to offer bonuses to get their employees to post, but Lin Ji’s employees posted voluntarily, making it a far more cost-effective approach by comparison.
Returning upstairs, Lin Xu went to the pastry section and started directing everyone in making Shakima.
Although the process of making Black Sugar Shaqima was complex, the dough-rolling part was much simpler than hand-rolled noodles, manageable by almost anyone with a bit of cooking technique.
"Are we going to sell Shakima, Boss?"
"If the customers want to buy them, we can’t refuse to sell."
Lin Xu poured low gluten flour suitable for making Shakima into a large basin and began to beat eggs into it, mixing the flour with egg, fats, and sugar to form a dough.
While he was busy, Shu Yun contacted Dou Wenjing on the first floor:
"The boss got excited and wants to sell a hundred boxes of Shakima and a hundred boxes of Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake. Director Dou, please quickly contact the factory to send over some of Lele’s newly designed packaging boxes. We can’t delay their use for tomorrow."
For sending gifts to some regular customers, the store did have some gift boxes.
But that was nowhere near a hundred boxes.
After making the promise to the customers, Lin Xu casually left, but Shu Yun, as the general manager, couldn’t just shirk her responsibilities. She had to quickly arrange for the packaging boxes.
Additionally, she needed to have some exquisite cards printed to include, with a friendly reminder on them.
This type of homemade delicacy, which contained no preservatives, had to be consumed quickly to avoid the risk of molding.
After arranging these, just as Shu Yun was about to play with Dundun for a while, Song Tiantian suddenly approached:
"Director Shu, I have something I’d like to ask your advice on."
"What’s up, Tiantian? Just tell me what’s on your mind."
"I want to help someone lose weight. Where do you think I should start?"
Song Tiantian had pondered long and hard, feeling it was quite a challenging task to help Wei Qian lose weight.
Firstly, dieting was out of the question. The guy spent his days in the kitchen, and he could fill his stomach just by tasting a few dishes whenever he was hungry. Dieting was wholly ineffective for him.
As for physical exercise...
Chefs are already quite exhausted daily. Adding physical training would probably make Wei Qian lose his temper instantly—wrecking my plan to help him lose weight.
After much deliberation, she decided to ask Director Shu for advice.
Director Shu is several years older than me and is more knowledgeable and experienced. Surely, she would know what to do.
But then Shu Yun: ?????
You don’t ask the person who needs to lose weight, but you come running to ask me?
But wait... helping someone lose weight?
Shu Yun seriously thought about who in the store might be a good candidate for weight loss, and Wei Qian’s chubby figure involuntarily popped into her head.
So...
Is Tiantian launching a love offensive?
Way to go!
Next time Wei Qian argues with the reception staff, I’ll just let Tiantian handle him!
To ensure Song Tiantian’s success in winning the... oh, no, capturing the chef, Zhuge Shuyun mentally shook her non-existent feather fan and devised a strategy:
"You could invite him to cycle home together on shared bicycles after work. Maybe have him give you a ride... ah, never mind. Considering your builds, it’s better if you each ride your own bike. Exercising on the way home from work would be perfect for losing weight."
