Chapter 99: A Sight Too Horrible to Endure


    Zhao Hai, as thepany president, also received a mission to oversee the situation at Linghai Road branch.


    Xu Yang came to the Linghai Road branch with Zhao Hai.


    Zhao Yuxin also arrived here.


    Having nothing to do, she came to check out the situation.


    By now, it was already twelve o’clock.


    There were only two tables of customers in the restaurant, which seemed very deserted.


    “Husband, how is it going?”


    Seeing the situation, Zhao Yuxin began to worry again.


    “It’s okay, it will be better tomorrow,” Xu Yang was not worried at all.


    “Husband, over at Delicious Hot Pot, they’re still handing out flyers and drawing in customers,” Zhao Yuxin pointed towards the Delicious Hot Pot store.


    A few staff members were continuously distributing flyers at the street entrance.<div>


    Quite a number of passersby were being ushered into Delicious Hot Pot.


    Zhao Yuxin asked, “Husband, should we let our servers also hand out flyers?”


    The restaurant had flyers too, as it had just opened.


    Customers could take them if they wanted.


    Xu Yang shook his head, “No need, that kind of tactic brings in limited customers; we don’t need to do that.”


    Zhao Hai was struck with a thought, “Xu Yang, do you have other promotion methods in mind?”


    Xu Yang nodded, “Yes, I will have the live streamers from mypany promote us.”


    The live streaming agency now had over a hundred streamers.


    And they were mostly high-quality streamers.


    Especially after the New Year’s Day live streaming sales event, the poprity of these streamers had soared greatly.


    It can be said that many streamers with millions of followers have a promotional effectparable to that of a third-tier celebrity.


    Those with tens of millions of followers are definitelyparable to top-tier celebrities.


    Zhao Yuxin’s eyes lit up, “Right, right, let the streamers promote us, especially Junyi, having this food streamer promote us would be more effective than words can say.”


    Xu Yang nodded and smiled, “Exactly, I’ve already spoken to Junyi, and he should be arriving soon.”


    No sooner had he spoken than two cars stopped at the entrance.


    Several people got out of the cars.


    One of them was Lin Junyi, and the others were members of the filming team.


    “Xu Yang.”


    “Mr. Xu.”<div>


    Lin Junyi came over with his people and greeted Xu Yang.


    Lin Junyi spoke casually with Xu Yang, just as before, addressing him directly by his name.


    Of course, other staff members couldn’t do the same.


    “Uncle Hai, Yu Xin,” Lin Junyi also greeted Zhao Hai and Zhao Yuxin.<div>


    Zhao Hai nodded slightly.


    Zhao Yuxin smiled and said, “Junyi, speak of the devil, and he shall appear, we were just talking about you, and here you are.”


    Xu Yang said, “Junyi, whether Jiang Bottom Catch can be famous quickly depends on you now.”


    Lin Junyi said, “No problem, there hasn’t been a restaurant I’ve visited that didn’t be a hit. Of course, Xu Yang, you can’t let me down; your Jiang Bottom Catch hot pot has to be delicious. I can’t lie with my eyes open.”


    Xu Yangughed, “Don’t worry, it’s not only tasty but also fun. I’ve said I want to do something different with hot pot, and I will definitely give you a unique experience.”


    Lin Junyi’s eyes sparkled, “Now that you say it, I’m really looking forward to it.”


    “Come on, let’s go inside and have a look.”


    Xu Yang led everyone into the restaurant.


    The manager of this restaurant is a woman named Bai Lan.


    She used to be a supervisor here, and after training, Zhao Hai appointed her as the manager of this restaurant. The previous staff of the restaurant were also assigned to this location.


    Seeing Xu Yang and his groupe in, Bai Lan immediately came over to greet them.


    “You go about your business, let things continue as they normally would,” Xu Yang said.


    “There’s not much to be busy with right now,” Bai Lan said with a bitter smile.<div>


    Therge restaurant only had three tables upied, and a few more customers had juste in.


    Even so, it still couldn’t change the cold atmosphere, given therge size of the venue.


    “Wow, isn’t that the inte celebrity Junyi?”


    “It really does seem to be the inte celebrity Junyi. How did he get out here?”


    “The ces he explores always have great vors, and they all ended up bing popr. It looks like Jiang Di Lao is on track to take off.”


    “With this vor and this service, as long as the word spreads, it’s bound to take off. We’re just the first batch toe and experience it, that’s all.”


    “Right, look at Min over there, all happy enjoying the free nail service.”


    …


    “Xu Yang, you’ve really done quite well with the decoration,” Lin Junyi surveyed the surroundings and couldn’t help but nod his head in approval. Suddenly he noticed one area, “Why does your hot pot restaurant have a nail salon section?”


    In the nail salon area, a nail artist was giving a female customer a manicure.


    This scene genuinely shocked Lin Junyi.


    A nail salon inside a hot pot restaurant, what’s going on?


    Eating hot pot and getting a manicure, two things that couldn’t be further apart, how did theye together?<div>


    He doubted whether he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes, only to find out there was no illusion—it was real.


    At that moment, the female customer’s face was full of smiles, enjoying herself thoroughly.


    Xu Yang exined, “Junyi, as I said earlier, we at Jiang Di Lao want to create a unique hot pot experience, with supreme service being key. Offering free nail services to our female customers is one of those services.”


    Lin Junyi couldn’t help but exim, “Xu Yang, you really do dare to think and act. Just with this one move, you’ve outdone most other bosses.”


    Most of the peopleing to eat hot pot are young.


    Crowds gather to eat, drink, and chat.


    Naturally, young female customers all love to look beautiful.


    Having a hot pot meal while also getting aplimentary manicure—nothing could be better!


    After touring around and understanding all of Jiang Di Lao’s services,


    the group returned to the entrance, and Lin Junyi began to film.


    “Hey folks, hi there, I’m Junyi. Today I’m going to take you all out for hot pot. This hot pot restaurant is vastly different from traditional ones, it’ll definitely be an eye-opener for you all. Let’s go on this experience together…”


    …


    At 10 p.m., Jiang Di Lao ceased operations.<div>


    At 10:15 p.m., the managers of various branches posted their sales figures to the Jiang Di Lao work group.


    The turnover of each restaurant was around 20,000 yuan.


    It could be said that the turnover was pitifully low.


    “Today’s turnover is a bit low, primarily because Jiang Di Lao isn’t well-known yet, and also because of the trouble caused by Mei Wei Hot Pot.”


    “Indeed, the people from Mei Wei Hot Pot are really shameless, distributing flyers right up to our storefront.”


    “Many customers who wanted to try out our restaurant were lured away by them.”


    “I think we should let some of our service staff go out to distribute flyers, to build up our poprity. Once we boost our poprity, business will prosper. After all, customers who have dined with us have had a great experience and said they woulde back for hot pot next time.”


    “Mhm, and those customers who’ve experienced our exceptional service also said they would definitely rmend us to their friends.”


    The managers voiced their suggestions in turn, looking for solutions.


    Xu Yang sent a message: “Everyone, don’t worry and don’t send the service staff to distribute flyers. I’ve already hired someone to promote Jiang Di Lao.”


    Immediately, a manager asked, “President Xu, who have you hired?”
