After the gathering, everyone left Ming Yun Private Kitchen and said their goodbyes.
Bao Xu's eyes were filled with melancholy. He felt hopeless at the thought of having to wander outside for the next month.
As for the others, after the meal, they all went back to their own homes.
They had to return to their respective positions tomorrow and continue working hard.
However, what puzzled Pei Qian was that the people in charge of both the loss-making and profitable projects seemed to be very motivated after the gathering.
Take Ma Yiqun of Zhongdian Chinese Network for example. His website had been incurring losses, and Boss Pei had consoled him this time so that he would be very motivated. Pei Qian could understand that.
However, why did Huang Sibo and the others seem to be very motivated as well?
Pei Qian was a little puzzled. I didn't say anything to them, right?
Could it be the power of good food?
Soon, everyone left.
Pei Qian looked at the time. It was past eight at night. The gathering time was just right.
The waiters in Ming Yun Private Kitchen were cleaning up the mess. It looked like they were going to be busy for a while.
However, this was only temporary. For a long time to come, Ming Yun Private Kitchen probably wouldn't have any new customers.
Ming Yun Private Kitchen's location was so remote and hidden. Ordinary people would not be able to find it. Even if they did, they probably would not be able to afford it.
Of course, this news could not be kept a secret. After all, Boss Pei had so many employees under him. They had eaten so much good food here today. They would probably brag to their friends when they got back.
However, this place was very remote and expensive. Most people would not be able to afford it even if they paid out of their own pockets.
It did not matter if the news spread and a small number of ballers came here. As long as they did not have too many customers, Ming Yun Private Kitchen would continue to incur losses.
Of course, Pei Qian did not forget that Ming Yun Private Kitchen's main goal was to spend as much money as possible to satisfy the employees' gathering.
Thus, Pei Qian booked a gathering for a long time to come.
According to the System's current rules, employees could have a gathering once every two months.
The frequency and quality of the gathering also seemed to depend on the company's current scale and financial situation.
Of course, there was a prerequisite: there had to be a proper reason for the gathering.
It was very easy for Pei Qian to find justifiable reasons now. It could be to celebrate the release of a new game, to commend the performance of a certain department, to establish a new department, to welcome new employees, and so on.
Thus, Pei Qian booked Ming Yun Private Kitchen according to the frequency of once every two months.
The specific date of the gathering was set on the 20th of the even-numbered month. It was close to the end of the month, and it was the perfect time to spend money.
On top of that, on the first and third Sundays of every month, Pei Qian booked the largest private room in Ming Yun Private Kitchen. He wanted to reserve it for business banquets.
These appointments were of the highest priority and would remain valid until Pei Qian decided to change them.
This was mainly to avoid the situation of people making appointments at the same time. It would be awkward if a baller really made an appointment in advance or even filled up for two or three weeks. Pei Qian, as the boss, could not make an appointment.
Although Pei Qian felt that Ming Yun Private Kitchen could not possibly become so popular, it was better to be safe than sorry. He had to be prepared in advance.
In addition, if there was a sudden need for a business banquet, he could also make a reservation at any time. However, the prerequisite was that the restaurant had to have an empty seat, and he had to prepare the ingredients two to three days in advance.
Lin Canrong came to Pei Qian's side. "How is it, Boss Pei? Are you satisfied with the food today?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Very good, very satisfied!"
In fact, he could not be sure if the sky-high prices of the food were worth that much money. After all, he had not been to other high-end restaurants to eat such good food. It was hard to compare.
However, after observing Lin Wan and Assistant Xin's expressions as they ate, he could roughly guess that the food was not ordinary.
Pei Qian's requirements for Lin Canrong were very simple. He just had to manage the kitchen well and ensure that they would be able to eat top-notch food every time they came for a gathering.
It would be best if Chef Lin did not know anything about other things like store marketing and publicity.
"The situation now is good. Continue to maintain it.
"Remember, your first goal is to provide customers with the best food and service. You don't have to worry about anything else.
"Just like when you were at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe," Pei Qian hinted.
Pei Qian hinted. After all, when Lin Canrong was a branch manager at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, he could be said to have no achievements. Pei Qian hoped that he could continue to maintain it.
Lin Canrong did not understand the hidden meaning in Pei Qian's words. He thought that this was just a daily reminder from Boss Pei. He quickly nodded and said, "Alright, Boss Pei. I will do my best to ensure that customers have the best dining experience!"
After eating and drinking their fill, Pei Qian and Ma Yang strolled out of Ming Yun Private Kitchen and towards the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Coincidentally, the surroundings were quieter, and the weather was not cold. The stroll would help with digestion.
As they walked, they passed by the Upwind Courier station and the bar next to it.
Just as they passed by the entrance of the bar, a few enthusiastic young men and women pulled the two of them in. They were a little too enthusiastic.
Pei Qian and Ma Yang spent a lot of effort before they finally managed to break free.
They had just come out of Ming Yun Private Kitchen and eaten a lot of good food and drank a lot of good alcohol. Who would want to go to such a place to drink low-quality alcohol again?
Pei Qian only wanted to go to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe for a while and then go home to sleep. He had no interest in such a noisy bar.
However, on the way there, Pei Qian glanced inside and realized that the situation in the bar was not looking good. Although there was a promotion for the opening of the bar, there were not many customers.
The resident singer inside was trying his best to sing, trying to liven up the atmosphere in the bar. However, it was still not that interesting.
It was no wonder that all the waiters were running to the entrance to get customers.
For some reason, Pei Qian sympathized with Boss Li.
Ever since he found out that the internet cafe chain had accepted an investment from Fu Hui Investments, Pei Qian vaguely felt that Boss Li was the one who had set up these few shops nearby.
Although Pei Qian was very touched that Boss Li was burning himself to shine a light on others, Boss Li was probably going to lose a lot of money if things went on like this.
Of all the things that Boss Li could do, why did he have to mess around with me?
…
When they arrived at the entrance of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Pei Qian and Ma Yang pushed the door open and entered.
However, when he saw the familiar figure drinking in the corner, Pei Qian was stunned.
Isn't that Boss Li?
What a coincidence!
I just passed by your bar and was talking about you?
When Li Shi saw Pei Qian, he could not help but be stunned.
That was because Pei Qian had not been to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe in Ming Yun Villas for a while. Li Shi had only come to have a drink to calm himself down. He did not expect Pei Qian to come.
It was a little awkward to bump into him by chance.
However, Pei Qian did not mind. After all, Li Shi was one of his few good friends!
Pei Qian sat down opposite Li Shi and smiled. "Boss Li, did you come all the way here to spy on the enemy?"
This sentence was said in a joking tone, but Li Shi understood the deeper meaning behind it.
In his heart, he thought, 'Indeed, Boss Pei already knew that Xing Le Internet Cafe and the nearby shops are all related to me …'
"En, that's normal. After all, the other party is Boss Pei …"
Li Shi had a new understanding of Pei Qian after the incident at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's flagship store. Naturally, he did not dare to underestimate him.
Now that Boss Pei had made things clear, he felt a little awkward.
After all, Li Shi had invested in Xing Le Internet Cafe and the shops near Ming Yun Villas. No matter how he looked at it, he was obviously targeting Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Although Li Shi believed that Boss Pei did not have any evidence and was only guessing, they were both smart people. There was no point in denying it. There was no need to act dumb.
Li Shi smiled and said, "Boss Pei, don't mind me. This is normal business behavior.
"What's more, I'm not targeting Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. I just think that Boss Pei has good taste. That's why I want to follow suit.
