30: Study hard

How could he not have thought of it?

He could use three million to market it!

Ziyong is truly a marketing genius!

Liu Gaoda sighed in his heart, filled with admiration for Qian Ziyong.

When he was in college, how did he not realize Qian Ziyong was so capable?

“Oh, by the way, when the Hot Pot Restaurant’s business wasn’t good, I went to see Ziyong a few times, and he told me everything was under control.”

“At the time, I didn’t understand what ‘everything under control’ meant, but now that the business is booming, I finally get it!” Liu Gaoda exclaimed.

“Right?” Zhu Daqiang nodded with a smile.

He had also heard Qian Ziyong say that everything was under control.

“I’m going to tell Ziyong this good news!” Liu Gaoda said excitedly.

Zhu Daqiang quickly stopped him: “Everything is within the Boss’s predictions, you don’t need to tell him, he must already know!”

“Good point!” Liu Gaoda felt he was right.

Li Lian smiled: “And you are now the manager of the Hot Pot Restaurant; the Boss has entrusted all matters of the Hot Pot Restaurant to you!”

“The Boss is clearing the way for us behind the scenes; we just need to follow the plan.”

“Being his employee is truly too easy; as long as we do our part, there’s nothing to worry about!”

“If only I had met him when I was younger, I would have definitely stayed by his side and learned diligently.”

Li Lian sighed, looking at Liu Gaoda with envy.

How important it is to have someone to teach you!

How many detours did he take in his youth before finally getting on the right track?

And even then, it was just barely enough to make a living.

If he had met Qian Ziyong fifteen years earlier, he would probably have assets in the hundreds of millions by now.

Liu Gaoda knew what Li Lian was envious of and clenched his fists tightly: “I will study hard, observe carefully, and definitely not let Ziyong’s cultivation of me go to waste.”

Li Lian nodded: “The Boss gives us such high salaries to ensure we do our jobs well.”

“If we ask him about everything, what use are we?”

“Couldn’t a pig do the job just as well?”

“Li Dage, you’re absolutely right, I won’t bother Ziyong.” Liu Gaoda nodded in agreement.

Qian Ziyong paid him a salary of one hundred thousand, so he had to do something, right?

He couldn’t just go to Ziyong every time something happened at the Hot Pot Restaurant; wouldn’t that be utterly incompetent?

Li Lian said: “I predict that the Hot Pot Restaurant’s good business is just beginning; business might get even better from now on!”

Liu Gaoda’s eyes lit up, and he was full of drive.

…

In the afternoon, inside Feihuang Supermarket.

Today, Feihuang Supermarket’s business was good; most customers who had eaten hot pot would come to the supermarket to browse.

There were also some people who hadn’t been to Heli Lao Hotpot; they simply came here to buy things.

A couple was leisurely strolling through the supermarket.

The woman was beautiful, with a pair of sparkling big eyes.

“I’m hungry, what are we eating today?” The woman rubbed her stomach, asking somewhat coyly.

The man tentatively asked: “How about we go eat hot pot?”

The big-eyed beauty thought for a moment, then shook her head: “But I want to eat grilled fish!”

“We haven’t had grilled fish in a long time.”

“The grilled fish we had last time was both crispy and tender; the taste was absolutely amazing!”

A smile appeared on the man’s face: “Then let’s go eat fish!”

“But the fish isn’t spicy enough, and I haven’t had anything spicy in a long time; I want something spicy.” The big-eyed beauty hesitated.

The man instantly became alert, cautiously asking in a low voice: “Then shall we eat hot pot?”

“But fish is tastier… and most hot pot ingredients aren’t fresh; I’m afraid I’ll get diarrhea if I eat it.” The big-eyed beauty said.

“Then eat fish?” The man’s voice was even softer.

The big-eyed beauty got angry: “Can’t you, a man, have some opinion?”

The man was almost in tears, truly not knowing what to do.

Do you want to eat hot pot or fish?!

Someone save me ~ >_< ~

A supermarket employee, who was organizing shelves nearby, saw them about to argue and quickly said: “How about eating hot pot?”

“Our Feihuang Supermarket has a newly opened Hot Pot Restaurant; the ingredients are absolutely clean and hygienic, and fruits and drinks are all free!”

Hearing the supermarket employee’s words, the big-eyed beauty was a little surprised: “I didn’t expect Feihuang Supermarket to even open a Hot Pot Restaurant; your Boss’s business is truly extensive!”

The employee smiled and said: “The Boss is very nice; all employees of our supermarket can eat hot pot for free.”

“I’m about to get off work soon, and I’ll be able to go eat hot pot right away; just thinking about the beef in the hot pot makes my mouth water.”

“I heard our Boss spent three million to buy the hot pot base!”

“It’s truly delicious!”

As soon as the big-eyed beauty heard about the hot pot base that cost three million, she instantly became excited:

“A hot pot base that cost so much money must taste extraordinary!”

“Let’s go, let’s try it!”

The man let out a long sigh of relief, thanked the employee with his eyes, and quickly pulled the beauty upstairs to eat hot pot.

Inside the Hot Pot Restaurant.

Led enthusiastically by an employee, the beauty came to a spacious seat and sat down.

“This chair is so comfortable, and the environment is very nice.” As soon as the big-eyed beauty entered the Hot Pot Restaurant, she felt very comfortable.

The environment here was excellent; whether it was the tables, chairs, or details everywhere, everything made her very satisfied.

One could tell at a glance that a lot of money had been spent!

The employee smiled and said: “Here, the dipping sauces, fruits, drinks, and ice cream are all free; especially the beef for the dipping sauce that we provide, it tastes excellent and is also free.”

“If you’re interested, you can try it!”

The big-eyed beauty was surprised: “Are all these free? I want to try!”

The man was also surprised; there was actually a Hot Pot Restaurant where even the beef was free—would the beef not be fresh?

The two came to the dipping sauce area, where many customers were casually making their dipping sauces.

There were also two customers who were self-importantly scooping large amounts of beef into their bowls until they had filled more than half a bowl before stopping.

Two staff members nearby did not stop them; on the contrary, after they had finished scooping the beef, the staff member brought a huge bowl and added beef to the dipping sauce plate.

Until it was full.

More customers came to scoop beef.

Seeing a customer hesitating there due to shyness,

The employee smiled and said: “All the dipping sauces here are free, including the beef; the beef tastes very good, so you can take more if you like!”

The man and the big-eyed beauty each scooped some beef as well.

The man held a bowl of self-mixed seasoning and returned to his seat, satisfied.

The big-eyed beauty held three bowls: one for fruit, one for seasoning, and one for beef.

Holding three bowls with two hands, she suddenly felt unsteady, and her heart pounded with anxiety.

Fortunately, at that moment, a staff member, quick-eyed and quick-handed, immediately stepped forward to help.

The big-eyed beauty quickly thanked him but then said to her boyfriend with dissatisfaction: “Hmph, didn’t you see I was busy? Why didn’t you come help me?”

The man was at a loss, stammering and apologizing in a low voice.

Just then, the employee brought their ordered dishes on a small cart, and the big-eyed beauty stopped scolding, focusing her attention on the delicious food.
