Chapter 66: Su Yang's Decision! Starting a Catering Company!

"Little brother, it's only twenty-one days in a month. You're not going to tell me you can't handle it, are you?"

"Who said that?"

"Then sign up for a membership!" Tao Xue pulled out a flyer. "As long as you stick with it for twenty-one days, you'll get your monthly fee back and even get a chance to win the hundred-thousand-yuan grand prize!"

"I know you're trying to goad me on purpose, but it's just twenty-one days in a month. I should be fine!"

"I hope so!"

Seeing the boy run off to sign up for a card, Tao Xue curled her lips in a smug smile.

These young boys really are easy to manipulate~

Just then, her phone rang.

She pulled out her iPhone and saw the caller ID; it was actually her boss calling.

Her heart immediately began to throb.

This was the first time Su Yang had ever called her!

Walking a few steps behind the event scene, she cleared her throat, answered the phone, and spoke in what she thought was her most pleasant voice:

"Boss!"

Su Yang got straight to the point: "You know about Luo Yihan filming short videos, right?"

"I do!"

"We need you to appear on camera. There's an appearance fee!"

Tao Xue glanced at Store Manager Xu, who was personally overseeing the event. She remembered how she had tried to persuade Yuan Sisi to appear on camera when she left with Store Manager Xu earlier, only to be rejected by her.

So she played dumb and said, "Wasn't Sister Luo inviting Sister Sisi?"

"Yuan Sisi has been busy with her classes lately and can't find the time!"

Tao Xue said very agreeably, "That's true. Sister Sisi is the top salesperson at our gym; it's normal that she can't find the time."

"So, are you willing to be on camera?"

Tao Xue smiled and said, "Since the Big Boss himself has asked, of course I'm willing!"

Su Yang said helplessly, "I'm not forcing you. Don't push yourself if you don't want to!"

"It's no push at all, not in the slightest! I was just joking!" Tao Xue said in a lighthearted tone. "After all, appearing on camera is for the sake of promoting Xinghuo! If business is good at the gym, it's good for everyone!"

"Mm."

Su Yang felt much of the irritation in his heart dissipate.

See, this is what a good employee looks like!

"Boss, give me fifteen minutes. I'll let Store Manager Xu know and then head back!"

"No rush, stay safe!"

"Thank you for your concern, Boss. I'll be careful."

"Mm."

Hanging up the phone, Su Yang said to Luo Yihan, "Alright, Tao Xue will be back in a bit!"

"Okay!"

Su Yang was about to continue his workout when he saw the streamer Chen Xiaoxiao calling him. It was likely that there was news from the MCN executives she was supposed to contact.

In the private training area of the gym, Yuan Sisi was staring blankly in the direction of her phone.

The middle-aged woman next to her called out, "Sisi!"

"Huh?"

Yuan Sisi turned to look at her student and quickly snapped out of it.

"Your state of mind isn't right today!" The middle-aged woman sat on the yoga mat and laughed. "How did you get distracted?"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

The middle-aged woman glanced at the phone. "Whose call are you waiting for?"

"No one!"

"Then let's continue!"

"Okay!"

After finishing the private lesson, Yuan Sisi walked around the gym but didn't see Su Yang anywhere.

Had Su Yang not come today, or had the store manager and Luo Yihan not spoken to him yet?

However, she soon saw Tao Xue holding a piece of paper, discussing something with Luo Yihan, the photographer, and other selected employees who would be on camera.

She had caught a glimpse of the script Luo Yihan had written; there was only one female character in it.

Tao Xue's name hadn't been on it either.

Her heart sank as she seemed to realize what was happening.

"Are you guys discussing the script?"

She pretended to be passing by casually.

"Yes!" Tao Xue smiled. "Are you finished with your work, Sister Sisi?"

"Yes," Yuan Sisi asked. "What part are you playing?"

"Just the one who serves tea and water to the boss!"

Yuan Sisi finally confirmed it: Luo Yihan had replaced her!

It wasn't a change to the script at all!

Tao Xue then gave another sweet smile. "Sister Sisi is too busy, so the Boss personally found me. I couldn't really refuse. I guess it's because my professional performance isn't as good as yours!"

Behind Tao Xue stood Luo Yihan, the photographer, the editor, and several male coaches.

The way they looked at Yuan Sisi was quite... cold.

It couldn't be helped!

Through the conversation between Tao Xue and Luo Yihan just now, they knew that Yuan Sisi had not only rejected Store Manager Xu but had also apparently offended the Boss.

At a time like this, they knew exactly where to stand even with their eyes closed!

Being the top salesperson didn't mean she paid their salaries.

Moreover, they also felt that Yuan Sisi was a bit too arrogant.

The Boss was such a good person, and he was even giving them a stipend for appearing on camera. Why would she refuse?

"Mm."

Yuan Sisi's face darkened, and she turned and left immediately.

Her complexion gradually turned a shade of pale green.

She could already sense that the atmosphere was wrong.

She naturally locked her sights onto Tao Xue!

In the Xinghuo office, Su Yang was rarely not out looking for shops; instead, he was lounging on the sofa like a corpse.

He was truly exhausted from running around lately.

When he first got the system, he was immersed every day in the joy of finding high-quality shops and opening them to make money.

He ran around every day, but he didn't feel tired at all; instead, he quite enjoyed it!

But recently, that surge of excitement had begun to gradually recede.

Without much hesitation, he decided to hire people to help share the workload!

It would be best to hire a group of professionals who were good at finding high-quality shop locations.

He would let these people do an initial screening, and then they would hand over the shops they deemed suitable for a hotpot restaurant to Su Yang for on-site verification.

This would not only greatly increase efficiency but also save him a lot of time.

It couldn't be helped; the Business Deduction skill had usage restrictions—he had to see the shop with his own eyes.

Even a live stream wouldn't work, let alone a recording.

Thinking of hiring, Su Yang sat up from the sofa.

He might as well just establish a catering company.

He remembered that chain catering businesses had a department called the Expansion Department, specifically responsible for company site selection.

He wasn't afraid of hiring people and having no work for them to do!

Doing it as soon as he thought of it—that was Su Yang's consistent style.

Su Yang called Guo Fang and told him about his decision.

He only had this one capable general in the catering business.

He could only discuss it with Guo Fang!

"So soon, Boss?"

Guo Fang had been prepared for Su Yang to establish a catering company.

But he hadn't expected it to be this fast.

Jiuxiang Beef Hotpot only had one store location.

And it had been open for less than a month.

The other three locations were still being renovated!

"I've thought it over carefully. It's better to establish a catering company for easier management." Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any experience managing a company?"

"No!" Guo Fang said somewhat sheepishly. "Boss, I've only ever been a store manager... but I can learn!"

He did have ambition and the desire to move up to the next level.

But he also didn't want to mess up the boss's business!

"Alright then!" Su Yang nodded. "Then do you know any talent who is good at managing catering chains?"

"No, I don't!"

"Okay!"

Guo Fang's answer was not beyond Su Yang's expectations.

"If the Boss really wants to start a catering company, I suggest you go headhunting. Look for talent who has served in management at catering chains!" Guo Fang suggested sincerely. "They can definitely help the Boss avoid detours, and these catering giants all have mature management systems, which would be very beneficial for the company's development."

"I understand!"

Hanging up the call with Guo Fang, Su Yang began to look for information on headhunting companies in Rongcheng.

While Su Yang was working in the office, Yuan Sisi began to feel restless and upset.

For no other reason than that almost the entire gym now knew she had made the boss angry!

There were even rumors that she had rejected the boss's request to appear on camera to his face.

It had made things very awkward for the boss.

The boss was very unhappy.
