Chapter 221: Chapter 137: The Trouble with a Boss Who’s Too Rich (Part 2)

But when faced with the insanely spicy hot pot base Qi Sheng had made,

her tolerance was clearly no match for the assault of spiciness, and she couldn’t help but put on a pained expression.

"Wow, this is so good!"

The three little ones were the first to give their praise. They usually went to Haidilao often.

But the flavor at Haidilao was a far cry from Qi Sheng’s hot pot restaurant.

"It really is delicious. This soup base recipe is incredible!"

Zong Rui also gave it a rave review, deciding she had to bring Qu Man to try it once she was back from Shanghai.

"Honey, your restaurant doesn’t just taste good—the atmosphere is amazing and the service is so wonderful. It’d be hard for it *not* to be a hit."

Tan Hua was also stunned by the flavor of the hot pot base, her gaze on her boyfriend filled with growing admiration.

’It’s one thing to be handsome and rich, but he’s successful at everything he does.

How can someone be so amazing?’

"Let’s be low-key."

The corners of Qi Sheng’s mouth curled up uncontrollably. All the praise from the women almost made him grin from ear to ear.

By the time they had eaten and drunk their fill, two hours had passed.

Outside the restaurant, there were still many customers waiting for a table.

This terrifying table turnover rate shocked Tan Hua and the others.

Many of the staff inside were eating in shifts; they were simply too busy to keep up.

Thankfully, Qi Sheng had the foresight to hire 250 people.

"Manager Yuan."

Qi Sheng waved to the busy Yuan Li.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Yuan Li hadn’t even had time to eat, and her throat was raw from shouting.

"Have the greeter outside inform the waiting customers that the restaurant will be taking a break at three o’clock."

"We’ll reopen at five. Let everyone get some rest."

"Give Heytea a call. Everyone on staff gets a drink, my treat."

"Also, starting today, we’ll be selecting three ’Stars of Service’ every day."

"This includes both the front-of-house and the kitchen staff. Everyone is eligible."

"First place gets a 300 yuan bonus, second place gets 200, and third place gets 100."

Yuan Li hesitated. "Boss, why don’t I just have everyone rest in shifts?"

"You can’t earn all the money in the world. We can’t neglect our employees’ health. Just do as I say."

Qi Sheng knew Yuan Li meant well and wanted to help him make more money.

But no matter how much money the hot pot restaurant made, could it possibly be faster than fleecing Lord Tong?

For Qi Sheng, opening a hot pot restaurant was just a way to have some fun.

Later on, when he had friends to entertain, bringing them directly to his own restaurant—now *that* would be impressive.

"Alright. On behalf of everyone, thank you, Boss!"

Yuan Li knew everyone was exhausted, but her loyalty would always be with Qi Sheng.

A boss as considerate as Qi Sheng would naturally earn his employees’ devotion.

...

Sure enough, when Yuan Li relayed Qi Sheng’s announcement,

the staff inside erupted in cheers, shouting, "Long live the boss!"

This surprised many of the customers who were still dining.

"Miss, what’s all the excitement about?"

A male customer in his thirties called over an excited-looking waitress, feigning curiosity to scout out the situation.

"Our boss ordered Heytea for us! Is there anything else you’d like to add? The kitchen is about to take a break soon."

The young waitress’s smile was warm; she clearly cherished her job.

"Your boss is really generous. Heytea isn’t cheap."

"Yup, our boss is the best! We also have the ’Star of Service’ award. The daily winner gets a 300 yuan bonus. If you think my service was good, could you please leave a good review later?"

"Sure."

Li Yu nodded with a smile, secretly pondering the situation.

As the newly appointed manager for Haidilao’s Southwest Region,

it hadn’t been long since he was transferred back from overseas.

He had replaced none other than Yuan Li, who was on the verge of being promoted to manager of the Southwest Region herself.

He had, of course, heard of Yuan Li’s capabilities.

Starting as a greeter, she had been rapidly promoted to manager.

She was even included in Haidilao’s young executive training program.

She had the potential to become a top executive at Haidilao in the future.

Yet, a talent like her had resolutely chosen to resign.

You have to understand, Haidilao only had seven regional managers.

Not to mention a starting monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, plus stock dividends.

As soon as Li Yu took office, he rushed over to investigate the situation.

He wanted to see if this restaurant Yuan Li had opened was worthy of Haidilao’s attention.

According to the five dimensions they always used to assess a competitor’s strength:

Product quality was impeccable, as the staff were all trained by Haidilao.

Timely and error-free food delivery was the most basic requirement.

Atmosphere. Needless to say, it was perfect.

Even Haidilao’s own locations wouldn’t be willing to spend this much money.
