Chapter 1114: The Snack Market Is Officially Open For Business

June 20th, Wednesday morning.

After two days of intense preparation, the snack market was finally about to officially open.

All the vendors were already in position. Fresh ingredients had also been arranged early in the morning. They were just waiting to officially start operations.

Logically speaking, the timing was not perfect.

It was Wednesday after all, and it was the morning opening. No matter how he thought about it, it was the time with the least traffic in a week.

However, for the snack market, it did not matter whether they opened earlier or later. They might be able to adapt to it in advance if they opened earlier so that there would not be too many people as soon as they opened. It would not be good if something went wrong at the opening.

Zhang Yahui was very nervous.

He might have arranged everything that he could think of, but this was a serious matter after all. He still felt uneasy.

Rui Yuchen comforted him. “Don’t worry, just treat it normally.”

Qi Yan and he arrived in Jingzhou the day before yesterday. Qi Yan had already taken the high-speed rail back to Beijing yesterday.

That was because Qi Yan knew very well that the work here was basically guaranteed after seeing the situation at the snack market. It would depend on the Cold-Faced Lady’s cooperation next.

Thus, Qi Yan immediately rushed back to Beijing and arranged for the Cold-Faced Lady to take care of the snack market.

As for Rui Yuchen, the Fish-Catching Take-Out shop in Beijing had already stabilized. There was no need to rush back. Thus, he decided to stay in Jingzhou for a few more days and help out with the snack market.

Zhang Yahui had just been put in charge not long ago after all. He did not have much experience in many things. What if something unexpected happened?

It would be easier to deal with it with someone taking care of it.

Zhang Yahui was very touched.

Ever since he became the person-in-charge of the snack market, he had been taken care of.

First, Bao Xu and Liang Qingfan helped to design the operation mechanism and renovation style of the snack market. Once the renovations were complete and their work was done, Rui Yuchen came to help keep an eye on the daily operations of the snack market.

As the person-in-charge, Zhang Yahui only needed to do some daily work and coordinate with the vendors. The burden on him was greatly reduced.

He often felt that Tengda Corporation was a magical company!

If it was in other companies, many departments would often be in a state of mutual hostility, competing for resources. At the very most, they would not trip each other up and barely cooperate when the upper management was assigning tasks.

However, it was completely different in Tengda. The relationships between the various departments were so harmonious. Everyone did their best to lend a helping hand and do their best to help. They wanted to make something perfect.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Tengda could repeatedly create business miracles!

Of course, Tengda Corporation’s unique harmonious atmosphere was definitely due to Boss Pei’s wise leadership.

Boss Pei must have encouraged and supported this kind of inter-departmental help and cooperation to form such a habit.

Zhang Yahui silently remembered this favor.

He secretly decided that when the other department heads needed help in the future, he would do his best to help them out like Bao Xu, Liang Qingfan, and Rui Yuchen did for him!

He must not let Boss Pei down!

At 9 AM, the snack market officially opened for business.

Customers who had been waiting outside rushed in the moment it opened.

The composition of these customers was more complicated.

The uncles and aunties who were already living in the vicinity had long been paying attention to the construction of the snack market. They liked to come over to take a walk when they were walking, wanting to see how the original vegetable market had been transformed.

There were also hardcore Tengda fans who had long heard through various channels that the snack market was in preparation and would gather outstanding snacks from all over the country. Thus, they rushed over to experience it once it opened. They wanted to try to see if these snacks were as good as the documentary ‘Stalls’.

Of course, there were also some Jingzhou locals who happened to be free today. They wanted to join in the fun.

However, it was a workday morning after all, so there were not many people.

Once customers entered the snack market, they were attracted by the unique layout and Cyberpunk atmosphere inside.

It was a sunny day. Thus, from the outside, the Cyberpunk style decorations were not particularly outstanding. However, the snack market was completely filled with lights. The atmosphere was immediately released!

Many tourists were taking photos as they passed by the extremely high-tech sports car at the entrance. After passing that sports car and entering the snack market, it was as if they had transmigrated to another world.

The shops at the entrance sold high-tech imitation firearms models, prosthetic limb models, and high-tech drug models. It looked completely different from the traditional snack street.

There was a huge Cyberpunk-style display screen outside the grocery store that sold various trinkets. A poster was displayed on it, indicating that one could buy souvenir notebooks here. There were maps, art settings, and art collection on it. They could also play cards at various food stalls.

Some people went to the stalls to experience the snacks while others were attracted by the poster and bought a notebook to carry with them.

The stalls here were worlds apart from ordinary stalls.

The stalls along the street were basically small cars with all sorts of ingredients and condiments on them. There was a small banner hanging outside as publicity.

Customers could only stand by the side and eat the snacks when they received them and throw the rubbish as and when they like. The environment was poor.

The snack market had already planned various stalls in advance. They were closer to the open-air bubble tea shops.

The entire stall took up less than twenty square meters. The three sides of the counter reached up to the waist, and it had a wide-open design. The only side that was against the wall was where the vendors placed the raw materials and cooked the snacks. The other three sides were the payment area, the waiting area, and the big screen display area.

The display area was mainly used to display current queues and signature dishes.

The number of seats placed outside the stalls would also be different depending on the size and level of the stalls.

There was a special card machine in the middle of the seats so that customers could stamp their cards while waiting for their meals.

The entire stall was decorated in the Cyberpunk style. There was a specially custom-made snack stall’s neon sign above it. Many of the equipment inside had also been specially processed. It looked very compatible with the entire environment.

The snack stall could accommodate two to three people. Whether they wanted to find someone to help or not depended on the busyness of the stall and the vendor’s personal wishes.

Customers came in and took different routes.

Some looked at the signboards in the stalls and ate whichever snack they were interested in; some took their notebooks and stuck their way there; some looked at the current activities on the application and went to the stalls with discounts or small gifts.

Zhang Yahui and Rui Yuchen were seated at a snack stall near the entrance, pretending to be two passers-by.

After observing for a while, Zhang Yahui heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was in order and that nothing special had happened.

Everyone looked quite satisfied!

He had to admit that such a unique style really added points.

In fact, there were many famous snack streets in various cities across the country.

What’s more, even though the snacks in these snack streets were more expensive, those that could survive in intense competition had better flavors.

However, the biggest problem was that homogenization was more serious!

The snack streets across the country actually gave people the same feeling. They were all very old-fashioned buildings that seemed to be carved from the same mold.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to remember any special points.

However, the Cyberpunk style of the snack market was different. This unique style left a deep impression on everyone who came. They would definitely not mix with the food streets of other cities.

Rui Yuchen looked at his watch. “About… time to arrive?”

Zhang Yahui was a little confused. “Huh? Everything is here, isn’t it?”

He saw two people entering the snack market the moment he finished speaking.

One of them was holding a microphone and the other was holding a camera!

Rui Yuchen explained, “This is a journalist from Jingzhou TV’s evening news segment. He interviewed Fish-Catching Take-Out when Jingzhou first started garbage sorting. I left a contact number.”

“I was thinking that the television station would be interested in the opening of the snack market the day before yesterday.”

“That’s why I asked.”

“In the end, they were indeed interested so they agreed to come for the interview this morning.”

He immediately stood up to greet his long-lost journalist friend.

“Boss Rui, long time no see.” Zhang Lixian was all smiles.

This journalist was an old friend of Tengda Corporation.

Rui Yuchen had welcomed her when she interviewed Fish-Catching Take-Out previously. After the interview, Rui Yuchen had even given her a lunch box as a small gift.

Even though it was just a simple lunchbox, its design was beautiful and practical. It also contained the concept of ‘gentlemen are different’. She liked it very much.

What’s more, the video that she posted on Weibo about ‘an ordinary citizen of Jingzhou a second ago and an outstanding young man in Jingzhou a second later’ had also become popular. It has caused her Weibo to gain a lot of fans. It was a pleasant surprise.

Subsequently, Zhang Lixian gave Li Shi an exclusive interview with “Li Shi and the Thinker”. She heard Li Shi talk about Boss Pei’s philosophy, investment path, the transformation of the Sloth Apartments project and the Thriller Hostel to the old industrial zone.

The response was equally enthusiastic!

Therefore, when Rui Yuchen said that Tengda’s snack market was about to open, she immediately realized that this would be excellent news!

As the saying went, food was the most important.

Clothing, food, accommodation, and daily trivialities could reflect the lifestyle of the citizens of Jingzhou. It was a question that most news viewers were concerned about.

What’s more, this snack market was near the old industrial zone. It was an outstanding project for the transformation of the old industrial zone like the Thriller Hostel. Of course, he had to introduce it!

Thus, he immediately arranged for an interview plan after reporting to his higher-ups on the television.
