March 19th, Monday …
The travel-worn Bao Xu and Liang Qingfan set foot on Jingzhou once again.
Although Liang Qingfan looked a little tired, he was still full of energy.
"Ah, I'm finally back!"
"Paid leave might be good, but it's still tiring after such a long time."
"However, Brother Bao, you seem to be very energetic. You're indeed a travel master! Thank you for taking care of us on this trip to Egypt! "
Bao Xu rolled his eyes silently.
What do you mean by energetic?!
It wasn't easy for me to return to Jingzhou. I've finally recovered my vitality, alright?
Bao Xu was afraid that he would become a mummy and dry in the desert if he stayed in Egypt for another week.
All in all, this trip was finally over!
Bao Xu wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep and play games. He did not want to stay a second longer.
However, even so, the two of them still had to take a taxi back.
In the taxi, Bao Xu was not in the mood to chat with Liang Qingfan at all. Instead, he continued to think about something that had been on his mind for the past month.
What should I do so that I won't go traveling again?
Bao Xu was already on guard after being "kidnapped" twice to go on a vacation.
At first, Bao Xu thought that as long as he kept a low profile and did not take charge of any work in the games department, he would not be shot in the Best Employee Selection.
However, he had been wrong three times.
The first time was when Li Yada won the second best employee award because of her outstanding work in Tengda Games. That was why Bao Xu was arranged to accompany her.
The second time was when Huang Sibo won the second best employee award and Bao Xu was arranged to accompany her again.
The third time was when Liang Qingfan …
The first two times were fine, but what made Bao Xu speechless was that he was not familiar with Liang Qingfan at all!
This meant that within Tengda Corporation, 'getting Bao Xu to accompany the second best employee award' had become an unspoken rule and a customary thing.
In that case, if anyone got the second best employee award in the future, they would definitely find Bao Xu to accompany them!
What's more, Bao Xu's previous policy of keeping a low profile not only did not achieve his goal of hiding himself, but it had the opposite effect: everyone felt that Brother Bao did not have any very important work to be responsible for anyway. It would not delay anything if Brother Bao accompanied them.
Therefore, Bao Xu felt that he could not continue like this. He had to make some changes!
But what kind of changes should he make?
Bao Xu was still in Tengda Games now. If he took the initiative to take on some work, he would definitely have something to do. But the problem was that he was a senior. All the eyes in the department were on him. If he made any achievements, he might be voted for.
Wouldn't that be very stiff?
Therefore, Bao Xu felt that it was best for him to find something to do in other departments.
In this way, the next time someone asked him to accompany them, he could righteously refuse: I'm sorry, I still have work to do, please find someone else!
But which department should he go to find some work?
Bao Xu did not really want to transfer to another department. He still wanted to stay in Tengda Games. Thus, it would be best if he could only help out temporarily.
However, his main job was in game design. It was hard to say if the other departments needed his help.
Therefore, Bao Xu fell into deep thought. He racked his brains in order to escape the fate of being a companion.
…
At the same time, at Tengda Corporation's headquarters …
Pei Qian was in his office, flipping through the reports of the various departments while thinking about how to arrange and adjust the work plan for the next stage.
Pei Qian already knew about Bunny Tail Live-Stream, but there was nothing he could do.
It was ridiculous that the unofficial commentator was even more popular than the official commentator!
He could only say that Long Yu Corporation was too useless. Why could they not even arrange something as simple as commentating the competition? They had created a lot of difficulties for Pei Qian's work for no reason.
However, it was said that Long Yu Corporation was also making urgent adjustments. They were going to other clubs to find professional players to perform live analysis. The standard of the official commentator should be improved very quickly.
Pei Qian did not care anymore. In any case, it would be fine as long as the ICL league could become more and more popular.
Just as he was flipping through the work records of the various departments, there was a knock on the office door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw an unfamiliar face.
Zhang Yahui introduced himself nervously. "Boss Pei, I'm Zhang Yahui from the Cold-Faced Lady. You called me previously and asked me to come and look for you on Monday to talk about the snack market …"
Pei Qian remembered instantly. "Ah, yes, please take a seat."
Even though Pei Qian's original intention in setting up this snack market was to poach people from the Cold-Faced Lady and limit their development, he still had to put in some effort on the surface.
Why would the vendors from the Cold-Faced Lady come if the conditions at the snack market were not good?
Pei Qian poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yahui and said, "Actually, I only have a vague concept of this snack market at the moment. You have to think about how to operate it carefully."
"Don't worry about the funds. I'll give you ten million yuan first. Take it and spend it slowly. If it's not enough, you can apply again. The key is to be attractive to the vendors!"
"As for the other requirements …"
"The snack market has to be in Jingzhou. Also, the vendors who join the market have to accept unified supervision to ensure food hygiene and safety. The ingredients have to be purchased in a unified manner. The snack market has to have specialized staff to manage it …"
Pei Qian briefly explained his thoughts.
Zhang Yahui had a surprised expression on his face. "Is that all?"
The way he heard it, Boss Pei's conditions were simply too good to be true!
He had plenty of funds and there were no performance requirements. The location was fine as long as it was in Jingzhou. There were no restrictions on where it could be opened. As for unified supervision, food hygiene, safety, and so on, those were the most basic. Zhang Yahui would pay attention even if Boss Pei did not say anything.
There were no other requirements?
That was too much freedom!
Pei Qian thought for a moment and asked, "What other requests do you want?"
Zhang Yahui said, "For example … should this snack market be located in the downtown area or in a slightly more remote place? Should it be next to Tengda's other businesses? What style should we choose if we want to decorate it? How should the vendors arrange their business hours? Do I have to confirm all of these? "
Pei Qian pondered for a moment.
He had wanted to let Zhang Yahui decide for himself. After all, he did not have many requirements for the snack market. It was up to Pei Qian to earn money. He just wanted to poach people from the Cold-Faced Lady.
Pei Qian felt that there was no need to waste so many brain cells to confirm these details.
However, on further thought, he still felt that he had to tell Zhang Yahui.
After all, there was an ancient saying that success came from hard work and failure came from thinking. Many problems had occurred previously because he had been too laissez-faire. It was always right to add a few more layers of insurance.
Pei Qian briefly considered Zhang Yahui's questions.
The location of the snack market definitely could not be in the downtown area because the food vendors' skills were not bad. The dining environment would definitely be good if they spent such a sum of money. If it was in the downtown area, the customers would be people with stronger spending power. They would definitely earn a lot of money.
However, it did not seem appropriate to be in a more remote place. That was because the land price in remote places was cheap. If the snack market became popular, it might cause the surrounding land price to rise and all the surrounding industries would benefit. There was too much room for development.
This place definitely could not be next to Tengda's other businesses. If it happened to be near the nameless restaurant, it would definitely become a gourmet street. Diners from all over the country would come over. Or it could be near the Sloth Apartments and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. A group of young people would come over for snacks after playing games …
That would not be good either.
As for the renovation style, the more it did not match the theme of the stall, the better. The more casual the business hours, the better.
Pei Qian said, "The location should not be in the downtown area, but it should not be too remote."
"There should not be any Tengda businesses nearby."
"The renovation style must be high-end, trendy, and cool. It must be clearly distinguished from the concept of 'street stalls'."
"We will adopt a flexible working system during business hours. There will not be too many restrictions on business hours. Give the vendors full freedom."
"That's all. There is nothing else."
Zhang Yahui revealed a blank expression.
What kind of request was that?
However, he had long heard of Boss Pei's style of doing things, so he was not too surprised. He could only silently remember all these requirements.
"Then … Boss Pei, I'll go and prepare now?" Zhang Yahui said.
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, go ahead!"
…
Zhang Yahui was still a little confused after coming out of Shenhua View.
He was still an ordinary vendor before Chinese New Year. He would wake up early and work late every day to make roasted cold noodles to earn some hard-earned money. In the end, he was first chosen by Boss Qi of the Cold-Faced Lady to be in charge of the Gourmet Laboratory and promotional video because he participated in a street food competition. Then, he was chosen by Boss Pei to be in charge of the snack market project.
He could only say that the ups and downs of life were too exciting!
Now, he had a huge sum of money provided by Boss Pei, but he felt very confused. He did not know what to make this snack market look like to meet Boss Pei's requirements.
He was still a commander without an army now. He could only take his time to think about it.
However, just as he was about to leave, he saw a taxi stop in front of Shenhua View. Liang Qingfan and Bao Xu happened to be in the car.
Zhang Yahui's eyes lit up. "Aren't you Designer Liang? I've seen you in the promotional video for Sloth Apartments! "
Liang Qingfan nodded. "You are …"
Zhang Yahui said, "My name is Zhang Yahui. I'm now in charge of the 'snack market' project that Boss Pei just opened …"
Zhang Yahui was very happy. He quickly explained the ins and outs of his trip here.
Liang Qingfan's eyes revealed a look of surprise. "Snack market? That sounds interesting! "
"I'm sorry, I've been traveling abroad for the past month. I'm not too sure about these things."
"However … the Sloth Apartments that I'm in charge of doesn't have much work to do recently. Do you need to design your snack market? I can help. "
