Shen Wei said, "The benefit for 800,000 fans is a pop-up themed experience of Starry Sky Kindergarten, allowing everyone to deeply experience a day in kindergarten."
Liu Chef smacked his lips and said, "Young people's minds work quickly. That's a great idea, I think it will work."
Upon hearing about the pop-up experience, everyone else became excited too.
The kindergarten demographic is very unique, only those with a need would pay attention.
But Starry Sky Kindergarten has gone viral several times, and has many fans outside its circle.
More people are curious to know if Starry Sky Kindergarten is really as good as they say.
Especially the few young teaching assistants, since coming to Starry Sky Kindergarten, their friend circles have been reposted on the school forum.
Everyone is discussing feverishly.
They are skeptical, not believing the kindergarten could be as good as the assistants claim.
Sometimes, the assistants even get angry. They really want to let the doubters experience it for themselves.
Those who have been there know just how good Starry Sky Kindergarten is - it's the industry's ceiling.
There are also some parents who constantly ask questions, immersing them would probably be more useful than teachers explaining ten times.
For young people, it's quite novel too.
There are many themed escape rooms, but not for kindergarten experiences.
People used to joke, "Would 300-yuan-a-month big babies want to come too?"
This is perfect timing.
Shen Wei said, "Everyone has been working hard overtime recently. The overtime pay is 1,000 yuan per day."
Cheers erupted around her.
The ones working hardest were Chef Chen and Liu Chef.
Shen Wei promised that in addition to the 1,000 yuan per day, she would also give them a salary raise.
Especially for Chef Chen, his salary would be increased from 50,000 to 70,000 yuan.
After discussing with Liu Chef, he sighed in reflection.
Years ago, Liu Chef had worked himself to the bone for Jiangbei Grand Restaurant, only to receive a small severance pay in the end, without even caring for past feelings.
Only after meeting Shen Wei did he realize that any work that doesn't discuss money is thuggery.
Although Chef Chen hadn't worked much, from observing for so many years, he naturally knew the pains of employment.
He had often heard of various bosses not treating employees like human beings.
Now working at the kindergarten is so comfortable, not to mention that after such a short time, Shen Wei wants to give him a raise, and this raise is unprecedented in its magnitude.
Chef Chen had run restaurants before, so he wasn't short on money.
But this kind of recognition also touched him.
Chef Chen said, "Leave the buffet to me." As soon as Chef Chen finished speaking, Liu Chef was stunned.
The master was serious this time.
What the other employees were most curious about was when Shen Wei would make the announcement.
Shen Wei said, "Immediately."
The price Shen Wei set was 200 yuan for just the buffet.
Participating in the immersive extracurricular class would cost 400 yuan in total.
This price wasn't high for the city, but not low either.
Shen Wei wanted to limit it to around 100 people per session.
Then divide it into 6 classes, with Teacher Tang taking one class each, with full staff participation. The pop-up would run over the weekend for two days.
The most urgent issue now was the kitchen - since it's a buffet, there would need to be more dishes.
Not having enough manpower was a big problem.
Liu Chef said, "I can find people."
After all, he had worked at Jiangbei Grand Restaurant for so many years. Although betrayed by his own disciple, he had taught more than just that one person over the years.
He only needed to call out, and those he had taught would come to help.
With the chef industry not doing well currently, and Shen Wei promising 1,000 yuan per person afterwards, Liu Chef was able to call over 40 people in an instant for this big job.
Chef Chen was eager to get to the kitchen, and upon entering, found it even bigger than Starry Sky Kindergarten's, definitely spacious enough for him to work his magic.
Shen Wei also called over Su Jun, who had previously tutored He Lingfeng, and asked him to find some reliable college students to help out as attendants.
Upon receiving Shen Wei's message, Su Jun readily agreed. Whether paid or not didn't matter, as long as they were fed.
With all preparations on Shen Wei's side ready, she then posted a video saying, "There's a huge benefit for 800,000 fans, to be announced in an hour."
This message was quickly discovered by long-time fans, all wondering what kind of benefit it was, with such secrecy surrounding it.
"Could it be they're inviting us over for a meal?"
After waiting an hour, the time had arrived.
They immediately clicked in, and sure enough, there was an updated newest video.
This newest video hadn't even been watched yet, but there were already over 2,000 replies below it.
It had only been less than a minute.
Clicking in to watch, wow. It turned out to be the opening of a Starry Sky Kindergarten pop-up themed experience.
The buffet alone cost 200 yuan, while the buffet plus various art classes cost 400 yuan in total, with only 100 slots available!
Shen Wei had even posted the class schedule, including a piano class, a dance class, a calligraphy class, and an art class.
The teachers for these classes at Starry Sky Kindergarten had previously gone viral.
Their detailed resumes had all been dug up.
At the time, everyone was green with envy, saying how they wished they had such a good kindergarten when they were young.
After the announcement, comments immediately flooded in: "How do we sign up?"
"A mere 400 yuan for teachers of this caliber, who usually charge 300 yuan for just one class? And there are four classes!"
"The 200 yuan for Starry Sky Kindergarten's buffet isn't much at all."
"At Jiangbei Grand Restaurant, 200 yuan could only get you a plate of shredded potatoes and a small bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"
"And this time, they'll even have the highly requested stir-fried beef tendon!"
Shen Wei had previously worried that 400 yuan might be too much for everyone.
But it turned out her worries were unnecessary, as the responses were overwhelmingly positive.
"Okay, I get it, you can delete that comment now."
"Please let me know how to sign up?"
"I was just wondering what to do this weekend."
"As expected of the kindergarten I'm a fan of, always keeping a low profile while achieving great things, who knew they'd even have a pop-up experience."
Parents whose children hadn't been accepted were green with envy.
Their fans had already calculated the costs.
Just the art classes alone were so valuable.
The monthly tuition they paid for their children was only 1,600 yuan per month.
How did their children not get accepted? They would have to go no matter what!
Parents were very interested in experiencing what their children learn in a day.
Art students were about to go crazy.
Someone had directly reposted it to their group.
The specialty teachers' skills were truly impressive.
To arrange a master class with instructors of their caliber, the minimum cost would be four figures.
Now, 400 yuan for four classes, plus a meal, what's the difference between that and getting it for free?
The fans had just left comments, and after a refresh, the number had already surpassed 10,000.
Originally, I was excited, thinking Starry Sky Kindergarten was offering a treat for the fans. But now my heart sank again.
Just 5 minutes and the comments had skyrocketed.
If things kept heating up for another hour or two, what would happen?
Suddenly, I worried if I could even get one of those 100 spots.
"Not enough, not enough, would you dare offer 200 spots?"
"The previous commenter was too conservative, make it 500 spots."
"Am I the only one who saw this? Is this a pop-up store? Pop-up stores usually last 7 days."
"Thunderbolt on a clear day, the previous comment hit the nail on the head. With this level of heat, I'm afraid I won't be able to snag a ticket for 7 consecutive days. What do I do?"
"I plan to move in here. I'm afraid of missing any updates. What if Liu Chef secretly releases more tickets?"
After hearing this, the others didn't dare leave, afraid of missing any news.
Teacher Tang's phone was ringing off the hook.
It wasn't just Teacher Tang, the assistants, employees, everyone was getting calls from friends and family for inside tickets.
Even Doctor Lu's colleagues at the hospital were paying attention to this, calling him several times.
Doctor Lu came to Shen Wei under pressure: "100 spots are really not enough, can we increase the number?"
Shen Wei said, "Let me ask Liu Chef."
Everything else was fine, it was just the buffet that was a huge strain.
Seeing the fans' enthusiasm, Liu Chef said, "I'll find some old acquaintances to help with the cooking."
Cut the crap, there was no shortage of helpers, the issue was lacking skilled chefs.
Anyone Liu Chef deemed worthy had to at least be an industry master, a judge for cooking competitions and the like.
For the kindergarten, Liu Chef was going all out.
After discussing with his master chef friends, Liu Chef said, "500 people." That was the absolute limit the buffet could handle.
The main thing was, they didn't want to compromise the quality of the food. They couldn't just throw in any random dishes to make up the numbers.
Good food required meticulous preparation and intricate processes.
To take those painstakingly crafted gourmet dishes and serve them buffet-style was essentially a demotion.
After confirming multiple times, Shen Wei announced the addition of 500 more spots.
But the netizens were still unsatisfied.
"Only 500 people, you're really underestimating us. Just look at the comments, there are already over 50,000 and still rising."
The netizens were shocked: "Am I the only poor person here? I thought 400 yuan was no big deal, I planned to snag a spot! But now I realize I'm the only poor one!"
The 400 yuan threshold didn't deter anyone at all.
How did everyone have so much money?
This is too much.
