The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

”Fu Yu is so handsome, how could he possibly be sneaky! Mingze, I’m telling you, just go ahead and write the article without worry!”

Feng Xiaoxiao spiced things up as she recounted the events.

Sun Mingze, after listening, seemed hesitant.

”I write for self-media platforms, usually focusing on social hot topics. I’m afraid what you’re talking about won’t attract much attention!”

Feng Xiaoxiao, hearing this, got anxious and quickly said, ”How could it not attract attention? This is a workplace hidden rule! Weren’t there often similar hot news trending recently? Like the repeated sudden deaths of young people, work anxiety, workplace manipulation! They all made it to the top three trending topics at that time, aren’t these all hot workplace topics?”

”This matter, even though it happened in a restaurant kitchen, you can elevate and broaden the topic!”

Feng Xiaoxiao, herself a food vlogger, had much experience in sparking hot topics and gaining attention.

”All those social hot news comments you write every day are mainly around topics that modern people are interested in, right?”

”Today’s young people face so much workplace pressure! As long as you handle the entry point well, you’re sure to resonate with many people!”

”I’m telling you, in our society, there are still many passionate individuals with a sense of justice! As media workers like us, aside from earning money, don’t we also somewhat want to help spread positive social energy?”

Sun Mingze remained silent.

Feng Xiaoxiao, persisting, continued, ”Especially with this issue, involving using connections to cut in line, showcasing poor practices. The leadership doesn’t lead by example but uses their power to retaliate against employees who adhere to social order! Such typical misbehavior, with a little guidance, can easily resonate with others!”

Sun Mingze thought for a moment and said, ”Could you help me organize the characters and details of this matter, so I can see if I can write an article?”

Feng Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, ”Alright!”

Although Sun Mingze had just recently joined the industry as a freelance writer on self-media platforms, he quickly attracted a high level of attention due to his unique insight, sharp writing, and succinct style.

His account is currently on the rise, and the platform offers significant support to him.

So, he is very selective about choosing article topics.

It must be said, Feng Xiaoxiao indeed has great vision and a very strong ability to express herself.

Her few words not only elevated the nature of the entire situation but also provided Sun Mingze with a space to freely expand.

The two, one speaking, the other recording, quickly drafted the outline of the article.

Feng Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to say, ”Mingze, write it well! Once the article is published, let me know. I’ll help you promote it in my circle!”

Feng Xiaoxiao is a major influencer on the platform, controlling a massive amount of fan traffic.

Sun Mingze was instantly thrilled by the opportunity Feng Xiaoxiao threw his way!

If he could leverage Feng Xiaoxiao’s help in promoting, his account’s traffic could definitely make a qualitative leap.

Sun Mingze slapped the table: ”Alright! I haven’t finished today’s article yet, I’ll start writing immediately and strive to upload it by 6 p.m. tonight!”

Feng Xiaoxiao laughed: ”Great, remember to tell me once it’s up.”

Sun Mingze quickly agreed: ”No problem. Rest assured, I’ll write this article well!”

Hanging up the phone, Feng Xiaoxiao took a long breath and chuckled, ”It’s done!”

Her friend curiously asked, ”You’re not familiar with this chef, so why are you so invested in his affairs?”

Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head: ”You don’t understand, do you? I’m telling you, Sun Mingze is currently in his career growth phase, very promising, and his traffic is stable. Once he uploads this article to the platform, me offering to help him attract traffic also creates a new topic for myself!”

Her friend was speechless: ”No matter how popular he is, his traffic surely can’t match yours! Working with him, isn’t that letting him ride your hot trend for nothing?”

Feng Xiaoxiao sighed: ”There are too many food review vloggers now, with regulations changing frequently; what if there’s a crackdown on this area? Plus, my traffic has clearly started to decline, and my team has been considering whether we could find an opportunity to help me transition.”

Her friend realized: ”Ah! But this restaurant kitchen issue doesn’t align with your food review content!”

Feng Xiaoxiao said: ”It depends on how you align it! What if I stand from the customer’s perspective?”

”I came to the restaurant to dine, wait my turn, only to find someone using their managerial position to insert their acquaintances into the queue ahead, causing customers who came later than me to get served first, while I’m still waiting.”

”We’re all paying customers, why should it be like this? Didn’t I pay?”

”If handled with the right angle, this topic can definitely catch on!”

Her friend was impressed: ”Xiao Xiao, you really are something!”

Feng Xiaoxiao smiled and quickly contacted her team members to explain the situation.

The team decided to bring this topic into the evening live stream, while the article would be drafted by a designated person.

When the time comes, all Feng Xiaoxiao needs to do is read off the prompter during the live stream.

Sun Mingze indeed was proactive, saying he planned to upload the article by 6 p.m.

By 4:30 in the afternoon, Feng Xiaoxiao received Sun Mingze’s draft.

Reading it from start to finish, she felt moved!

Sun Mingze, worthy of being a professional writer, demonstrated exceptional command over language, each word precise, each sentence concise.

The entire article flowed seamlessly, with a captivating entry point, offering strong engagement.

Even though Feng Xiaoxiao was well-aware of the story’s details, reading the article left her feeling indignant.

Moreover, Sun Mingze was very creative, editing the provincial TV station’s video of their interview at Qianlima Restaurant.

In total, three photos were used as illustrations for the article.

One was of the façade of Qianlima Restaurant.

Another was of the restaurant chef promoting specialty dishes.

And the last was a screenshot of the head chef praising Fu Yu.

Below each photo, Sun Mingze wrote a separate piece of text, addressing three different thematic perspectives.

This layered approach to guiding concepts was very clever, concentrating all the negatives on this person named Jia Rundong.

A sharp and precise critique was made of the entire situation sparked by Jia Rundong.

Feng Xiaoxiao was utterly satisfied with this manuscript, forwarding it to her team, before calling Sun Mingze.

The two discussed the upcoming promotional plan, finalizing the execution.

Everything was quietly unfolding, slowly fermenting.

Meanwhile, Fu Yu was busy taking orders and cooking in the kitchen.
