Chapter 41: Su Yang's Rapid Expansion Plans! Chen Li's Satisfaction!

Last month, Su Yang spent most of his time looking for a suitable storefront to open a hot pot restaurant.

Recently, many catering shops have gone out of business, and signs for "Prime Location Sublets" are everywhere!

Although most of these so-called "prime locations" were traps, Su Yang still wandered through the various food streets of Rongcheng, looking for vacant storefronts that were currently for rent but hadn't opened yet.

Some of those storefronts were also suitable for a hot pot restaurant.

However, after opening a shop in Feida Plaza, Su Yang's standards had become a bit high.

He looked down on ordinary storefronts!

Moreover, renovations took a lot of time, so he preferred picking up a bargain from someone else.

But now, Su Yang felt he had to relax his requirements.

Expanding the gym was difficult, so only the hot pot restaurant could expand rapidly.

He didn't need to stress too much about whether the hot pot restaurant could make big money.

The most important thing for him to do now was to raise his level to Level 3.

He needed to increase the number of hot pot restaurant employees to one hundred!

By then, with the hot pot restaurant buff enhanced, his business would naturally get even better!

With a plan in mind, Su Yang pulled up his phone's map and found the marked location.

His phone map had long been densely packed with markers.

He occasionally thought of Chen Li, but it was just a thought.

In any case, he had already left the choice to Chen Li.

He wouldn't interfere with whatever choice Chen Li made!

After all, they had agreed that he didn't need to take responsibility!

He felt he had already been very conscientious.

At Wanle Finance, the atmosphere in the large office was somewhat oppressive.

Anyone who could go out to drum up business had already left.

Those who hadn't gone out were making one phone call after another without stopping.

When they encountered polite people, they would say they didn't need any services or just hang up.

When they encountered impatient ones, they would be cursed out directly!

Chen Li sat at her desk, propping up her head and spacing out.

A girl wearing black-rimmed glasses next to her gently tugged and pinched her thigh.

"Hmm?"

Chen Li was startled.

After noticing it was just the girl next to her playing a prank, she breathed a sigh of relief and said somewhat complainingly, "Zhang Yan, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"Just a joke!"

Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Mm!"

Zhang Yan asked in a low voice, "Sister Chen Li, have you changed your skincare products recently?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I feel like your complexion has improved!"

Chen Li touched her own face, feeling it get a bit hot.

Naturally, she couldn't explain the reason, so she could only give a perfunctory answer, "Maybe it's because my sleep quality has been better lately!"

"Where were you yesterday? It seems like you didn't come to work?"

"I stayed at home!"

"I thought you went out to find business!" Zhang Yan slumped on the desk somewhat helplessly, "I feel like I won't be staying here much longer. My performance is too poor..."

Chen Li advised in a low voice, "You're still young, you have plenty of opportunities!"

Zhang Yan said listlessly, "What opportunities could there be? I didn't even catch the trend."

Zhang Yan had arrived in the second half of last year, right when the industry began its downturn.

Zhang Yan asked again in a low voice, "I heard Brother Wang say that a few years ago, he easily made three or four hundred thousand a year. Is that true?"

"I suppose so!"

"Then how much did Sister Chen Li earn?"

Just then, the supervisor came up to Chen Li and said in a rather stiff tone:

"Chen Li, come to my office. The director is also waiting for you!"

"Okay!"

Chen Li stood up and followed the supervisor into the office.

Before long, those still in the office heard the sounds of a heated argument between the three of them.

Many people making calls put down their phones and listened quietly, their eyes full of gossip!

Towards the end, it seemed Chen Li had gained the upper hand, and the supervisor and director seemed to have gone silent!

However, they still vaguely heard things like "If you want to go, go yourselves," "We have clients who like men, why don't you go sell..." and "Go get a sex change!"

After a few more minutes, the office door opened.

Chen Li walked out with a smile on her face, head held high and chest out.

It was as if she had just closed a huge deal!

Her valiant and capable appearance made many young colleagues feel a sense of admiration!

They never dreamed that Chen Li would suddenly explode and give the supervisor and director a piece of her mind!

But many people still whispered among themselves:

"Chen Li must be under too much pressure!"

"She's probably about to leave!"

"What a pity!"

"Are you interested in Chen Li?"

"Although she's usually a bit fierce, she's really good-looking! Just looking at her is a treat!"

"Aren't the girls in business KTVs a treat? I heard the quality of the girls over there is getting higher and higher!"

"Are you treating me?"

"No money!"

"What a coincidence, I don't have money either!"

"Haha!"

"..."

"From Chen Li's appearance, she doesn't seem panicked at all!"

"Our company has many people with money and backgrounds. They really don't care about this job, yet their performance is always beautiful... unlike us poor Palus!"

"Chen Li has been at the company for several years, I haven't seen any sign of a background?"

"Maybe she hides it well?"

"Maybe she found a sugar daddy!"

"Chen Li shouldn't be that kind of person. If she wanted a sugar daddy, she would have left long ago, she wouldn't have waited until now!"

"Better get back to making calls!"

"..."

Sitting back down at her workstation, Chen Li leaned against her office chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

So satisfying!

It was just too satisfying!

Chen Li felt like every cell in her body was breathing desperately!

After giving the supervisor and director a harsh scolding, Chen Li felt that the grievances and resentment accumulated over the past six months had all vanished.

Thinking back to her emotional state a while ago, when she was close to a breakdown.

At this moment, she had a feeling of the clouds parting to reveal the clear sky!

Originally, Chen Li didn't want to lash out.

But with one playing the bad cop and the other playing the good cop, they were treating her like a foolish novice!

Originally, Chen Li didn't dare to lash out because she really needed this job.

But as soon as she thought of Su Yang's promise, she couldn't hold it back and just exploded!

Get bitten by a dog?

Easy for you to say!

Why don't you go get bitten by a dog?

"Sister Chen Li, are you okay?"

Zhang Yan looked at Chen Li with some concern.

Chen Li smiled and said, "I'm fine!"

"Are you planning to leave?"

"Mm!"

Zhang Yan asked tentatively, "Found your next place?"

"I suppose so!"

She believed in Su Yang's strength and promise.

It was just a bit hard to face.

Every time she thought about it, her feelings were complicated!

She might not necessarily go to Su Yang, but Su Yang was indeed her fallback.

"That's great then!"

Zhang Yan said she was happy, but she felt a bit lost in her heart.

Once Chen Li left, she would have no friends left in the company.

At 9:30 AM the day after taking over the Japanese restaurant, Su Yang arrived at the hot pot restaurant in Feida Plaza.

At this time, all the employees had arrived and were waiting for the morning meeting.

Thinking of last month's revenue, Su Yang was in a very good mood.

The shop had been open for half a month in July, with seven days dedicated to the grand opening promotion.

In the remaining few days, he had already earned back the rent, water, electricity, and gas, and even earned back a portion of the labor costs.

Thinking about the estimated income for August, his mood became even better.

When he entered the hot pot restaurant, everyone quieted down.

Seeing pair after pair of eyes looking at him, Su Yang didn't feel nervous.

He said a few words of small talk before getting straight to the point:

"I am very satisfied with your performance last month. I've seen your enthusiasm and your service attitude towards customers, so I will give each of you an extra 1,000 yuan bonus!"
