Big Fish, worried that the birds would retaliate against him if he stayed, had no choice but to follow closely behind Luo Huai’an as she left the villa.

The kind-hearted Qing Niao originally wanted to comfort the little birds, but Luo Huai’an arranged for him to install the computers, so he had to leave first.

The birds that remained in the same spot were all filled with regret, deeply sensing the wickedness of society, and their efforts to clean became increasingly futile.

They once had an hour of computer time in front of them, but they didn’t cherish it and could only watch it slip away.

They were indignant, blaming it all on that cunning old wenyao!

After leaving the villa, Luo Huai’an looked at the farmland in the distance, where the crops were growing, extremely lush, and much faster than before.

Luo Huai’an nodded in satisfaction. The harvest buff from 20 wenyao was too strong; she was sure to earn more and more money.

Thinking of this, her attitude towards Big Fish improved somewhat.

Seeing that Big Fish was so obedient, Luo Huai’an felt a little like he was testing her, so she said, “Big Fish, you just said that you are willing to become my subordinate and that you would help me test the loyalty of my employees. I agree. If you find anything suspicious in the future, you can tell me directly.”

Big Fish was pleased to hear this, never expecting that he would one day become a manager. He felt that he had been entrusted with an important task, and in order to prove himself, he immediately nodded and agreed. “Yes, I will certainly live up to your expectations. If they have any impure thoughts, I will definitely inform you.”

Luo Huai’an nodded, then turned and left.

She didn’t actually mean for Big Fish to be her informant; she just wanted to give Big Fish, who had the most impure thoughts, something to do. After all, schemes and tricks were no match for absolute power.

Thinking of this, Luo Huai’an couldn’t help but puff out her chest proudly. Being invincible was truly a kind of loneliness.

Since witnessing the dark side of society, the birds have become much more well-behaved than before, and the efficiency of the Eighth Cafeteria has reached a new level.

Upon seeing this, Luo Huai’an couldn’t help but start thinking about opening up the off-campus market.

She wasn’t very familiar with current technology, so she decided to consult a professional. She opened WeChat, found the group that developed the Eighth Cafeteria delivery app, and sent a message: [How do I start an off-campus food delivery service?]

At that moment, the 4 programmers responsible for developing the app were playing games in their dormitory. Upon seeing the message on his phone, Xu Changle immediately put down his mouse and hurriedly called out to the others, “Stop playing! The owner of the Eighth Cafeteria has sent a message in the group chat.”

“What does the boss want with us?”

Upon seeing this, his roommates put down their headphones and mouse and turned on their phones to find out what was going on.

When Xu Changle saw Luo Huai’an’s message, he stroked his chin thoughtfully. So she was going to do off-campus food delivery!

Xu Changle’s eyes grew brighter the more he thought about it.

If he were a freshman, he would definitely oppose this proposal.

But he was a senior about to graduate, so this takeout business was a must! A must! Let’s get it done quickly!

Xu Changle looked up and saw that his other roommates also had happy expressions on their faces.

Xu Changle exchanged glances with them, sensing their mutual understanding, and then spoke his mind, “I’m about to start an internship nearby. After we graduate, our student cards will be canceled. We can enter the school, but we won’t be able to use them in the school cafeteria. The boss’s suggestion is like a godsend, it’s exactly what I wanted.

“In order for us to be able to eat the food from the Eight Cafeteria off-campus in the future, it is imperative to start off-campus delivery.”

His roommates all nodded in agreement, sharing the same thoughts as Xu Changle.

At this moment, a roommate suddenly said, “But doing off-campus delivery means that the portions in the cafeteria will be reduced accordingly. Dishes that were previously limited in quantity may become even more limited, which I imagine will be uncomfortable for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.”

Xu Changle waved his hand, “Anyway, we’re all graduating sooner or later. After we leave, who cares about the disaster behind us? And on the bright side, they’ll also graduate sooner or later. If they want to eat the food from the Eight Cafeteria outside the school, we definitely need to start an off-campus delivery service.”

Xu Changle then replied in the group: [Do you want to open a Taobao store, launch on a food delivery platform, or do you want to create an app for food delivery?]

Luo Huai’an: [What are the advantages and disadvantages of these three methods?]

Xu Changle replied: [Taobao stores have wide coverage and comprehensive functions, but they take a commission. Food delivery platforms also have wide coverage and comprehensive functions, but they also take a commission. Your own app will have very low traffic in the early stages, but the profits are immediate. The app that the Eighth Canteen is currently using is an example of the last method, I presume you already know about its advantages and disadvantages.]

Luo Huai’an searched online and found that Taobao shops offer many features, but they take a cut. Food delivery platforms take even more, often up to 30% of a single order. Selling a 50-yuan takeout order often only earns him a little over 30 yuan.

Luo Huai’an didn’t hesitate for long before making her choice: [I want a mini-program. Can you develop it this time?]
