Daddy's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 442 - 432: Trending Together
After taking a shower, Huang Tao casually put the clothes he had changed into the washing machine, washed them, and then hung them up to dry.
All done!
Only then did he quietly close the sliding door to the balcony, glanced at Mimi lying at the bedroom door, turned off the lights, and quietly pushed the bedroom door open.
He saw that his precious daughter hadn’t fallen asleep yet. She was sitting at the bedside under the table lamp, looking at a picture book!
"Daddy~"
Huang Tao’s barely audible noise in opening the door caught Xuanxuan’s attention. She quickly raised her head from the picture book and immediately called out in a sweet, soft voice.
She immediately climbed out of the covers, tossed aside her picture book, and stretched her arms towards Huang Tao.
Seeking a hug~
"Oh no, don’t come out..."
Huang Tao hurriedly stepped forward and cuddled her in his arms.
Then he quickly tucked her back into the blankets, letting her sit properly, smiling as he reminded, "Even with the air conditioner on, you need to keep warm. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold easily."
Xuanxuan giggled with a curved brow and eyes.
Huang Tao tapped her little button nose lovingly, yet helplessly, and asked, "Didn’t I tell you to sleep first? Why are you still awake?"
Xuanxuan blinked her eyes, "I can’t fall asleep~ I want Daddy to sleep with me~"
"Alright, Daddy will sleep with you."
Huang Tao dimmed the table lamp, let Xuanxuan lie down, and tucked her in: "Be good, close your eyes!"
"Mm-hmm~"
Hugging her Peppa Pig toy, Xuanxuan obediently nodded and then forcefully closed her eyes, trying hard to fall asleep.
Seeing this, Huang Tao couldn’t help but chuckle silently, and he gently kissed her smooth forehead, saying softly, "Sweetie, sleep tight!"
Xuanxuan nodded with her eyes tightly closed.
So obediently cute!
Huang Tao lightly patted Xuanxuan through the blanket, wanting her to drift off to dreamland quickly.
At the same time.
He was pondering the collaboration matters with Sichun Company.
Honestly speaking.
He was quite surprised at that time.
But the outcome was rather delightful.
Apart from openly gifting him 500 boxes of pure milk, Sichun Company also paid him an additional 200,000 as a collaboration fee.
Moreover, these 500 boxes of pure milk were not given all at once, but in installments.
Mainly because Huang Tao had no place to store them, it wasn’t feasible to rent a warehouse specifically for these 500 boxes of milk, right!
Manager Jiang from Sichun Company, upon knowing this, thoughtfully suggested that the 500 boxes of pure milk could be delivered in installments.
Whenever Delicious Restaurant needed it, they just had to let the relevant person know, and it would be mailed over via express delivery.
This kind of thoughtfulness made Huang Tao quite appreciative.
On top of that, the other party was full of sincerity, so Huang Tao agreed to the collaboration.
Just at this time!
Buzz buzz~
The phone in his pocket kept vibrating.
Huang Tao took out his phone and looked...
Weibo messages kept popping up from the top of the phone screen.
He usually swipes them away without looking, but hesitated this time because he saw a few familiar words in the trending searches.
#Liu Feifei mutually follows Min’an Group Chairman Li on Weibo#
#Liu Feifei likes a restaurant’s Weibo#
#Does Liu Feifei secretly buy Sichun Milk because she can’t drink green bean milk#
#How delicious is the green bean milk that Liu Feifei craves#
These were trending together, less so because of "the restaurant" and "green bean milk."
Huang Tao instinctively clicked on the last popping message, only to see a Weibo post. He didn’t have time to look at the content closely!
He was immediately attracted by the image in the post.
Oh!
This image is clearly his own green bean milk!
So, his green bean milk unexpectedly got tied to four trending searches?
But, come to think of it, who is Liu Feifei anyway?
Is she famous?
How come she can have four trending searches continuously?
Huang Tao curiously read further down.
Only then did he learn about Liu Feifei’s identity and understood how his restaurant and green bean milk were tied to her in trending searches.
Turns out it was a chain reaction sparked by a single ’like’!
It has to be said, top celebrities are indeed different. Even a tiny detail can stir up heated discussions among netizens and can rush onto hot searches.
And not just one trending search!
Even the official fan account of Delicious Restaurant gained followers quickly!
Everyone eagerly left comments, saying they’d definitely come over to dine when they have the chance.
Faced with their enthusiasm, what could Huang Tao do? He could only reply to a few comments, expressing they are welcome.
The fans were taken aback, exclaiming that the restaurant was still open so late, urging the boss to give him a raise!
Huang Tao didn’t pay any more attention to the constantly emerging comments and exited the app, glancing at Xuanxuan.
Only to see the slight movement of his precious daughter’s eyelids.
He chuckled knowingly and gently asked, "Sweetheart, are you asleep?"
Xuanxuan’s little mouth moved slightly, and with her eyes closed, she softly replied, "I’m asleep!"
Huang Tao deliberately asked in a singsong manner, "Oh? If you’re asleep, how can you still talk?"
Oh no~
About to be exposed~
Xuanxuan kept her eyes shut tight, but her mind was racing...
Trying to figure out how to fix this!
Bingo~
Got it!
She hurriedly explained, "I’m talking in my sleep~"
Can this work?
Alright then!
This answer is indeed flawless.
Faced with his little smarty pants, Huang Tao was completely out of tricks.
Defeated!
He said helplessly, "Alright then, continue sleeping..."
A few seconds later, Xuanxuan sneaked one eye open and quickly peeked at Huang Tao.
And then...
What bad luck!
She met Huang Tao’s gaze directly.
"Ah~"
She exclaimed and wiggled her little butt, burrowing deeper under the blankets...
Finally, like an adorable little prairie dog, she buried her entire upper body and head under the covers.
Huang Tao chuckled, completely at a loss with her!
After a moment.
She cautiously poked her small head out again, eyes bright and lively, took a glance at her dad, and seeing he was still looking at her, quickly tucked her head back under the covers.
Huang Tao couldn’t help but smile wryly.
He reached out, patting her little bottom lightly through the blankets, helpless and affectionate, saying, "Alright, it’s late, go to sleep quickly, or else you won’t be able to get up tomorrow."
This tactic really worked!
Xuanxuan immediately lay down obediently and closed her eyes again.
Huang Tao also reached out to turn off the lamp and snuggled under the covers.
Xuanxuan snuggled into her dad’s arms, rubbing her face against his pajamas.
Huang Tao held her, gently patting her back, singing a lullaby: "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby, daddy’s hands gently rock you, cradle rocking you to quick restful sleep, sleep sleep where it’s warm under the covers..."
...
Jing City, at a certain five-star hotel.
At that moment, Liu Feifei was lying on the bed, her flawless complexion tinged with a faint blush, a few strands of hair playfully brushing her cheeks, highlighting her snow-white face and adding a touch of alluring charm.
When suddenly, a shrill phone ringtone startled her awake.
Her pretty eyebrows knitted slightly, as she instinctively reached out to grab her phone.
Seeing it was a call from Tang.
Uh~
She was supposed to rest early...
She answered the call, somewhat displeased, complaining, "Tang, don’t you see what time it is, calling me now!"
Tang, hearing her tone, replied knowingly, "Seems like you don’t know what’s trending on the hot topics..."
"Trending? What’s happening on the trending topics?"
Liu Feifei was baffled by Tang’s words.
"Feifei, right now, nearly half of the trending topics are about you."
Tang, anxious and perplexed, asked, "Can you explain what you’re thinking? Why did you suddenly like a restaurant’s post on Weibo? Don’t tell me you’re really craving that restaurant’s green bean milk dessert? And how did you get involved with Sichun Milk?"
Luckily, Liu Feifei hasn’t endorsed any milk brand yet, otherwise it would be a disaster!
Liu Feifei, bewildered by Tang’s barrage, became even more confused.
With a puzzled look, she said, "Tang, I understand every word you’re saying, but put together, I really have no clue what you’re talking about."
Tang was speechless, "At a time like this, you’re still joking with me."
"Tang, I’m not joking. I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about."
Tang: "..."
"Alright, then check out the hot topics first!"
Hearing this, Liu Feifei quickly opened Weibo and indeed saw quite a few trending topics about herself.
Scanning through the content, she was still puzzled!
From what she remembered, she never liked any post from that restaurant! Nor had she liked any comments about it!
Could it be...
A slip of the hand?
When Tang called again to ask what happened, after thinking for a long while, she came up with "a slip of the hand" as the excuse.
On the other end, Tang was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After all, Liu Feifei had just done her nails, and being unaccustomed resulting in a slip was not impossible!
Unable to do anything, she just advised Liu Feifei to control her hands in the future, not to slip again, and avoid commenting recklessly on Weibo.
