377: Unexpected disaster

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Huashi Hotel and Muxin Hotel specifically cleared out the second floor to be used as a public dining area.

Next, they just needed to get a batch of chefs, and they could immediately start operating.

Originally, Yu Qing and General Manager Guo thought Su Yue definitely had specific candidates in mind, but no one expected Su Yue had no one in this regard at all.

When Su Yue learned that their biggest trouble was with the chefs, he couldn't help but find Lan Zijun.

Lan Zijun heard that Su Yue needed a batch of chefs who could cook well, and she immediately looked through their investment list.

Unfortunately, their investment list had no content related to the catering sector at all.

This meant that Su Yue also had no connections in this area.

Having no other option, he could only entrust the task of finding chefs to General Manager Guo and Yu Qing.

As the current Boss of the hotels, Su Yue didn't believe the two couldn't even find the most basic chefs.

Originally, Su Yue planned to give them a few days to find people carefully, to avoid finding those with ulterior motives.

Who knew that someone heard Huashi Hotel and Muxin Hotel were planning to do catering and immediately came with their team.

Since someone was willing to come and cook for them, why wouldn't General Manager Guo and Yu Qing be happy?

It didn't take long before Su Yue arrived at Muxin Hotel as agreed and found that they had already set up the restaurant.

Because the dining hall was not yet open to the public, only a few of them could eat the food prepared by the chefs.

Yu Qing saw Su Yue arrive at the entrance of Muxin Hotel, immediately brought people to Su Yue, and said with a smile: "This batch of chefs is very good quality, and the food they cook is particularly delicious."

Originally, he planned to take Su Yue upstairs to eat, but no one expected Su Yue had no intention of eating at all.

Su Yue knew his only purpose for coming here was to properly warn these people, to let them know his power.

Su Yue put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Yu Qing, and said with a serious face: "Yu Qing, I ask you, can you guarantee that these chefs have no ulterior motives towards us?"

With just one question, Yu Qing's expression immediately changed.

In his opinion, Su Yue asking such a question was simply because Su Yue didn't trust him and thought there was something wrong with the chefs Muxin Hotel found.

Liu Long saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff and quickly stepped forward: "Haha, don't misunderstand each other's meaning. General Manager Su is just concerned about our hotel situation. We think the chefs won't have any ulterior motives."

Su Yue heard Liu Long step out to smooth things over but had no intention of accepting it, and continued to ask: "What do you think is the difference between our hotel's catering and other hotels' catering? What makes these chefs come to us?"

Yu Qing knew Su Yue subtly intended to test him, and sighed helplessly: "General Manager Su, the salary I offer them is 1.5 times that of other hotels. I believe buying people with money is always the fastest way."

When Su Yue received Yu Qing's response, he then picked up the chopsticks and smiled: "Then let's not waste these exquisite dishes. Let's eat together."

Yu Qing saw how quickly Su Yue's expression changed, and was full of surprise, not knowing what kind of person Su Yue was at all.

However, he didn't continue to pursue the issue of the chefs, and Yu Qing didn't bring this matter up either.

After eating and drinking to their fill, Su Yue looked at the time on his watch and pointed outside: "Without further delay, contact the reporters as soon as possible. We will hold a press conference tomorrow to let people outside know that our two hotels have launched catering services."

To make the staying guests trust their restaurant, Su Yue decided to waive the catering fees for those staying tourists, letting them provide free publicity for him.

Although this might shrink their profits, the publicity generated by this method is the fastest.

Yu Qing and General Manager Guo heard that Su Yue wanted to cut through the mess quickly, immediately agreed, and the two simultaneously walked outside.

Just as they left, Su Yue then turned his gaze to Liu Long: "What do you think... how high is the credibility of the chefs?"

Liu Long originally thought Su Yue had given up on the matter, but who knew Su Yue was still bothered by the issue of the chefs.

He came to Su Yue's side and pondered for a moment: "With the reputation of Far View (Yuantu) Investment, I think attracting a few chefs to come is not a difficult matter. I am willing to trust them."

Regardless, Yu Qing and General Manager Guo were once the second-in-command in the hotels, and they both have their unique strengths.

Su Yue saw that Liu Long was willing to trust the chefs and couldn't help but stand up: "The matter of the chefs can be put aside for now. You must strictly control the hygiene and ingredients in the restaurant."

Don't look at Huasheng Hotel having no movement at all right now. Su Yue believes that if anything goes wrong, Liu Sheng will definitely jump out to cause trouble immediately.

Liu Long understood Su Yue's meaning, waved his hand, and patted his shoulder firmly: "Don't worry, I am personally overseeing both hotels. I will personally take responsibility for anything that happens."

With his words, Su Yue naturally felt relieved and followed the waiter back to the best room in Muxin Hotel to rest.

Since he had shares in both hotels, it was not difficult for him to get a room in them.

Unknowingly, a night had passed.

Accompanied by a series of crackling firecrackers from downstairs, Su Yue slowly sat up from the bed and walked to the window.

Su Yue looked downstairs and saw Yu Qing and Liu Long setting off firecrackers, with many balloons placed around.

No need to ask, they had already prepared the ceremony for the restaurant.

As the Boss behind the scenes, Su Yue no longer had any intention of resting and slowly came downstairs.

Yu Qing saw Su Yue walk out of the hotel and cautiously came to Su Yue's side: "General Manager Su, will you attend the opening ceremony of the restaurant this time?"

In some matters, Far View (Yuantu) Investment needed to avoid suspicion, so Yu Qing didn't know if Su Yue should avoid suspicion.

When Su Yue heard Yu Qing say this, he shook his head with a light chuckle: "I'll go with you. Anyway, the fact that I am a shareholder in both companies can no longer be hidden."

Those unscrupulous reporters had long published the news outside. Even if Su Yue didn't attend this event, he believed people outside would still know his identity.

Since that was the case, what reason did Su Yue have not to attend the restaurant's opening event?

Perhaps because Su Yue, the person in charge of Far View (Yuantu) Investment, was here, many Bosses of small companies planning to cooperate with Far View (Yuantu) Investment came here.

Looking at them, it seemed as if they wanted Su Yue to give them some opportunities.

However, Su Yue didn't even look at them properly and only gave them one sentence: "Today is the hotel restaurant's event. We are not discussing matters of Far View (Yuantu) Investment."

If Far View (Yuantu) Investment occupied a lot of the focus here, the news about the two hotels would surely decrease.

After finally creating such a big momentum, Su Yue would never allow their expenses to be wasted in vain.

After a few minutes of introduction, Yu Qing moved away from the entrance and pointed to the second floor: "You are welcome to go up to the second floor to dine."

Su Yue heard Yu Qing inviting them to dine, then came to the microphone: "Everyone, don't worry about getting drunk. As long as you get drunk, I will personally arrange rooms for you to rest."

Since the people here were all Bosses from various companies, as long as they made the Bosses feel comfortable, the employees under the Bosses would naturally come here to stay.

Yu Qing saw that Su Yue won over people's hearts with just one sentence and couldn't help but laugh at Su Yue: "The older the ginger, the spicier it is! Let's go upstairs too."

Now that the guests had gone upstairs, as hosts, they couldn't just stay downstairs watching.

Su Yue heard Yu Qing wanting him to go upstairs and couldn't help but shake his head at Yu Qing: "I won't go upstairs with you. I have other things to do."

Yu Qing had long known that Su Yue was unwilling to follow behind and immediately gave Liu Long a look. The two of them pulled Su Yue into the elevator.

Looking at them, it seemed as if they had long known Su Yue wanted to leave, so they forcefully pulled Su Yue into the restaurant.

Just as Yu Qing had initially estimated, everyone inside had a smile on their face.

Su Yue casually walked up to someone and pointed at the food on their table: "How is it? Does the food here suit your taste?"

When they heard Su Yue personally conducting the survey, they quickly stood up from their seats: "The food here completely meets five-star standards! The taste is excellent."

Yu Qing saw them giving such a rating to the restaurant and immediately introduced their chefs, so everyone could eat with peace of mind.

The first day of opening is often the cleanest and most delicious. Su Yue pulled Liu Long and Yu Qing to the side: "From now on, our hotel employees will also eat here, setting an example for them."

If even their own employees were ordering takeout from outside, others would definitely imagine the food inside the restaurant was not tasty or unhygienic.

Su Yue had to prevent such a thing from happening and asked Yu Qing to arrange the matter as soon as possible.

Soon, five days had passed.

The launch of restaurants by Huashi Hotel and Muxin Hotel had swept through the entire city, and many franchisees followed suit, placing their restaurants on the second floor.

Since the tastes in each city are different, Su Yue did not require them to use the chefs he arranged.

In just one week, the turnover of the two hotels doubled, causing many shareholders to abandon their prejudice against Su Yue.

Originally, they thought Su Yue was just subtly swallowing their shares, but who knew Su Yue had brought the stock prices of both companies to a new level.

Where there is joy, there is naturally sorrow.

Huasheng Hotel Executives, Conference Room.

Wang Pai looked at the on-site photos and financial statements of the two hotels and slammed the table in his hand onto the table fiercely: "I ask you, what on earth is going on?"

Liu Sheng heard Wang Pai's angry rebuke and subconsciously lowered his head.

They should be considered professionals in catering, yet their old establishment was actually defeated by these recently emerging hotels.

Nowadays, the industry has made them a laughingstock, and many people know that Huasheng Hotel is at the end of its rope.

As long as their rent expires, it's believed that it won't be long before news of them moving out is received.

Wang Pai looked at the lack of response from anyone below and pointed at Liu Sheng, saying: "You tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Sheng knew he couldn't avoid it and sighed helplessly: "A professional chef team has moved into their hotels. I don't know why they got so lucky."

Wang Pai listened to nonsense for a long time and slapped the table fiercely: "I didn't come here to listen to your complaints. I want to know if you have any countermeasures."

If Huasheng Hotel were defeated by two unknown outsiders, even Huasheng Group might be questioned.

By that time, Wang Pai's position was very likely to be lost.

No matter what, he had to step forward to take charge and restore Huasheng Hotel to its former position.

Liu Sheng saw that Wang Pai wanted to assign the task to him, his eyes immediately darted around, and he came to Wang Pai: "President Wang, we can use their own methods against them."

When Wang Pai heard Liu Sheng propose such an idea, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled: "They should be the ones who hate deception the most. Then this time, we will let them do it themselves and suffer the consequences of their own actions."

Wang Pai patted Liu Sheng's shoulder: "I'm leaving this matter to you this time. I don't want you to disappoint me, understand?"

Liu Sheng saw that Wang Pai intended to put the task on him and immediately straightened his back: "Don't worry, I guarantee I will handle this matter perfectly."

The surrounding executives saw that they already had a countermeasure, said nothing more, and left the conference room one after another.

At this time, Su Yue had already returned to Far View (Yuantu) Investment.

He knew that the catering services of the two hotels were already on the right track, and as long as no one interfered, a collapse was simply impossible.

Lan Zijun learned that Su Yue had returned and immediately went to Su Yue's office to find him.

When Su Yue saw Lan Zijun come in from the door, he said with an apologetic face: "I've been busy with other things lately and have really neglected you. I'm sorry."

Lan Zijun heard Su Yue subtly apologize and shook her head repeatedly: "You really don't need to apologize to me, otherwise I won't know what to say."

In her eyes, Su Yue being able to bring the company to such a height was absolutely something they hadn't considered.

Given this, why would Lan Zijun blame Su Yue?

Lan Zijun came to Su Yue and put down a leave slip: "After being busy for so long, I think you should take a few days off to rest and relax."

Far View (Yuantu) Investment is not some capital company. There's no reason to become a ruthless exploiter and make Su Yue work around the clock.

Su Yue looked at the leave slip Lan Zijun gave him and smiled: "Every time you give me a leave slip, I have a bad feeling. I hope nothing happens this time so I can have a good rest for a few days."
