286: The most trusted talent

Upon hearing that he was still the General Manager of Mi Bing Milk Tea, Liu Gaoda beamed with joy.

He had just had a thought that Ziyong was going to sideline him.

To have even a slight doubt about his brother, he felt truly ashamed!

"Let's go, we're heading to Feihuang Restaurant Headquarters," Qian Ziyong said.

He wanted to see the only unprofitable seedling of Feihuang Group.

He had to protect this seedling well!

...

At Feihuang Restaurant Headquarters, upon seeing Qian Ziyong and Liu Gaoda arrive together, Ye Xiaoqin quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Boss, General Manager Liu," Ye Xiaoqin called out.

Liu Gaoda waved his hand, "Just call me Gaoda."

Qian Ziyong chuckled, "From now on, Liu Gaoda will be the Logistics Supervisor. The two of you will be working together, so there's no need to be so polite with each other."

"How's business lately?"

His gaze swept around.

It wasn't mealtime, yet Qian Ziyong saw people buying food there.

This made his expression turn sour.

It was all his fault!

If he hadn't put the accounts online and hadn't posted messages on the official website, the various branches wouldn't have become popular.

It was all because of him that the wolf named Xiang Yang was lured in, and Feihuang Restaurant unexpectedly became famous.

Fortunately, the Shanjing Family helped suppress the popularity of Feihuang Restaurant; otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.

Although the popularity of Feihuang Restaurant had been suppressed, the initial surge in popularity still brought a certain amount of foot traffic.

It seemed he needed to be extremely careful with Feihuang Restaurant and absolutely avoid any more incidents!

Seeing Qian Ziyong's displeased expression when he asked about Feihuang Restaurant's business, Ye Xiaoqin lowered her head and said, "Boss, I'm useless."

"The boss marketed all the branches successfully, and all other branches are now making money."

"Only Feihuang Restaurant is still losing money; it's all because of my incompetence..."

Ye Xiaoqin felt very ashamed.

The boss's series of actions had made all of Feihuang's branches popular.

However, only Feihuang Restaurant had a brief surge in popularity and then became quiet.

Now, all the branches were making money, but their Feihuang Restaurant was still losing money.

She had the specific accounts for Feihuang; all branches of Feihuang Group, except for the gaming company, had remitted their profits.

It could be said that all branches were supporting Feihuang Restaurant.

The boss valued Feihuang Restaurant so much, investing countless money, yet she couldn't manage to make Feihuang Restaurant profitable, which put a lot of pressure on her and made her feel very ashamed.

Seeing Ye Xiaoqin a bit dejected, Qian Ziyong quickly encouraged her, "I'm not blaming you; I was just thinking of some unpleasant things."

"Feihuang Restaurant's current achievements are all thanks to you. If someone else were in charge, Feihuang Restaurant would probably be in big trouble!"

"I've always felt that putting you in the position of General Manager of Feihuang Restaurant was my most correct decision!"

Wasn't it the most correct decision?

Only Feihuang Restaurant was losing money!

It was clear that he hadn't misjudged Ye Xiaoqin; she was indeed his trusted aide.

Unlike Liu Gaoda, who was also his trusted aide, but had changed now!

He only had one Ye Xiaoqin, one trusted aide left, so she absolutely couldn't lose heart.

The heavy responsibility of losing money would all depend on her!

Hearing Qian Ziyong's encouragement, Ye Xiaoqin lifted her head, "Really, Boss, do you truly think that?"

Qian Ziyong smiled, "Of course, many things can't be rushed; you're too anxious!"

"Look at the two existing large food delivery platforms; they didn't succeed overnight. Instead, they lost a lot of money, even directly competing with money, to get to where they are."

"If you want to achieve great things, you must be able to endure loneliness and be able to lose money!"

"I have high hopes for you; you are now my most important helper!"

Qian Ziyong's sincere gaze was very infectious, helping Ye Xiaoqin regain her confidence.

Liu Gaoda on the side also said, "What are you afraid of? You have Ziyong for everything. Just do your best!"

"Just like me, when Mi Bing Milk Tea started, I listened to Ziyong for everything. That's how, through all the work, Mi Bing Milk Tea became popular!"

"Don't worry, Ziyong already has a plan for Feihuang Restaurant. We just need to do our part!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoqin's confidence soared.

Liu Gaoda made sense.

She didn't believe in herself, but Qian Ziyong believed in her.

Given Qian Ziyong's capabilities, since he believed in her, she must have something exceptional about her.

Since the boss placed her in this position at Feihuang Restaurant, he must have had his reasons.

Several branches were making money, and Feihuang Restaurant hadn't yet, perhaps the time wasn't right.

Moreover, wasn't business much better now than before?

Previously, it was deserted, but the boss's operations brought some business to Feihuang Restaurant.

Although business was flat, at least it wasn't losing as much as before.

She really didn't need to do anything; the boss had always been concerned about Feihuang Restaurant, always silently working for it.

Furthermore, hadn't the boss sent Liu Gaoda over?

Liu Gaoda was the boss's most trusted brother, having been by the boss's side since the first store opened.

He was arguably the talent the boss valued most.

Now that the boss had transferred Liu Gaoda here, didn't that show how much the boss valued Feihuang Restaurant?

Ye Xiaoqin nodded heavily, "Boss, I know what to do."

"Good!" Qian Ziyong nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, you must not change my decisions for Feihuang Restaurant. You must implement my decisions thoroughly!"

"Disposable tableware is not allowed. All customers ordering on the food delivery platform must first purchase two sets of tableware!"

"Additionally, Feihuang Restaurant, except for the Headquarters, does not accept dine-in customers!"

"And the low prices of Feihuang Restaurant, and not cooperating with other food delivery platforms—these four rules absolutely cannot be changed!"

Ye Xiaoqin repeated, "One, not listing on other food delivery platforms."

"Two, customers must buy tableware for their meals."

"Three, customers are not allowed to dine in."

"Four, Feihuang Restaurant always maintains low prices and must use good ingredients to ensure customer health."

Qian Ziyong nodded very satisfied, "Xiaoqin, you are truly too smart; you've firmly remembered my strategy!"

These four rules, each one of them unreasonable, completely blocked Feihuang Restaurant's path to profitability!

This was the pit he dug for Feihuang Restaurant!

He just needed to guard against others not filling his pit.

Yamai Makino of the Shanjing Family was an unexpected event.

Presumably, no one else would be as foolish as Yamai Makino to just come and occupy his pit without a word, right?

This way, no matter how much money was invested into Feihuang Restaurant, Feihuang Restaurant would be able to lose it all!

He was determined to protect this seedling.

It's stable!

With a stable money-losing venture, he could pour large sums of money into it in the future.

Just like now, all the money earned by the various branches was invested into it, significantly reducing his burden.

Moreover, Feihuang Restaurant always maintained low prices, so even if an accident occurred, it likely wouldn't make much money!
