Chapter 1121 - Boss Pei is As Calm As usual

Pei Qian immediately switched on his cell phone and used Qiandu to search for ‘Cold-Faced Lady’.

However, he did not find much useful information. It was all about ‘Cold-Faced Lady – Qiandu Wiki’, ‘Cold-Faced Lady Myth Ending’, ‘Entrepreneurs Must Read: Cold-Faced Lady’s Business Plan’, and so on.

These contents were basically still a few months ago and had no effect at all.

“Rubbish Qiandu!”

Pei Qian silently complained again and decided to be more direct. He would call the current person-in-charge of the Cold-Faced Lady, Qi Yan!

Pei Qian had been able to avoid interacting too much with the Cold-Faced Lady ever since he took over.

Pei Qian did not give Qi Yan any clear instructions other than to approve the Street Food Contest.

Not only that, after Pei Qian discovered that Rui Yuchen’s Fish-Catching Take-Out was expanding towards Beijing, he specially asked Rui Yuchen to open the shop opposite the Cold-Faced Lady so that Fish-Catching Take-Out could snatch all of the Cold-Faced Lady’s customers away.

Pei Qian did not give the Cold-Faced Lady more funds or open more branches. Instead, he maintained the low level of expenses required for a shop to operate normally.

That was obviously because of the previous experience with Fish-Catching Take-Out.

Back then, Fish-Catching Take-Out had been incurring losses. Pei Qian had been paying for it to expand. In the end, it had almost covered the entire Handong Province. All of a sudden, it was done for!

What’s more, Pei Qian was very afraid when he thought about the powerful observer effect on him. What if he gave a random order to the Cold-Faced Lady and Qi Yan’s understanding deviated and it became popular?

The Cold-Faced Lady’s shop had been losing money but Pei Qian held it in and did not continue to invest in more branches.

He had to admit that he had endured a lot.

However, it also proved that Pei Qian had high hopes for the cold-faced lady!

It was precisely because he hoped that this money-burning tree would grow smoothly without any problems that Pei Qian did not dare to give it too much care.

However, the Cold-Faced Lady that he had been keeping was going to make a comeback now?

How could they?

Pei Qian could not accept this fact.

However, Boss Li’s message was definitely not sent for no reason. Something must have gone wrong!

Soon, the call went through.

“Boss Pei?” Qi Yan sounded surprised. Obviously, she was surprised to receive Boss Pei’s call again after several months.

The background sound of the phone was a little noisy.

There were electronic sounds reminding customers to take their meals. There were also sounds of customers walking around and talking. They sounded quite busy.

Pei Qian’s heart dropped as he realized that there was a huge problem.

Shouldn’t the Cold-Faced Lady’s shop be very cold and deserted?

However, it was just a sound after all. Pei Qian did not see the actual scene. He still felt a little lucky.

“How… is the situation with the Cold-Faced Lady?” Pei Qian asked.

It was already past ten in the morning. Qi Yan was in the Cold-Faced Lady’s shop. Most of the seats in the shop were already taken. There was a long line of people queuing to order food. There were often delivery men from Fish-Catching Take-Out who came to collect food.

Qi Yan’s heart warmed seeing this busy scene and hearing Boss Pei’s question.

Indeed, Boss Pei had not forgotten about the cold-faced lady!

In the past few months, Qi Yan and the Cold-Faced Lady’s employees had often fallen into self-doubt.

The shop nor the public opinion on the internet improved. Boss Pei did not assign any tasks to the cold-faced lady either.

Did Boss Pei give up on the Cold-Faced Lady? Did he have too many industries and could not be bothered?

However, after Rui Yuchen answered Qi Yan’s doubts, Qi Yan finally understood that Boss Pei had not ignored the Cold-Faced Lady. Instead, he had been silently arranging for the right time!

Now, the snack market has opened. With the influence of Fish-Catching Take-Out, Cold-Faced Lady’s reputation had also changed. There were more people in the shop.

What did it mean for Boss Pei to call and ask about the Cold-Faced Lady’s situation immediately?

That meant that Boss Pei had been paying attention to the Cold-Faced Lady’s situation. He had called to ask and verify it immediately after the plan had worked. At the same time, he had expressed his concern!

Qi Yan immediately answered, “Don’t worry, Boss Pei. Everything is going according to plan!”

“The customer flow of the Cold-Faced Lady has increased greatly since yesterday. It has been basically full for the past two days!”

“I interviewed some customers at random. They all expressed that they were satisfied with the taste of the new dishes. They are already very delicious as fast food!”

“What’s more, I prepared a few televisions in the shop to play the documentary on ‘The Stalls’, promoting the snack market in Jingzhou at the same time.”

“In short, based on the current situation, the Cold-Faced Lady can turn the losses into profits soon!”

It was like a bolt out of the blue. Pei Qian did not speak for a long time.

He was very confused.

Didn’t he completely ignore the cold-faced lady?

How did it suddenly become popular?

Ridiculous!

What made him even more speechless was that Pei Qian had not given any guidance to the cold-faced lady at all. He naturally did not know what the problem was since he had not given any guidance at all. He was earning money for no reason, and he had no idea how to deal with the problem…

“Alright.”

Pei Qian hung up silently.

Goodbye!

I thought this was a money-burning tree. I completely misunderstood you!

Pei Qian was a little regretful. If he had known that this would happen, he would have opened a few more shops. He would have lost some money!

However, on further thought, that was not right. If he had opened more shops earlier, these shops would have made money together…

Now, there was only one restaurant. No matter how much they earned, they would only earn a few hundred thousand yuan each month if they were earning like foreign fast food brands.

Fast food restaurants had high turnover and they had relatively low margins after all. The cost of raw materials, rent, utilities, employee salaries, and the like were fixed.

Earning a few hundred thousand yuan a month was no longer a big deal to Pei Qian, who was no longer worried.

It was meaningless to fight the Cold-Faced Lady to the death with the settlement date. He had to hurry up and look at the industries that he needed to care about!

On the other hand, Qi Yan looked at the black screen of her cell phone and asked suspiciously, “Boss Pei?”

He hung up without any warning?

Qi Yan would have thought that Boss Pei was angry if not for the fact that everything was going well with the Cold-Faced Lady.

“Indeed, Boss Pei expected the Cold-Faced Lady’s losses to turn into profits. He just has to ask and understand the situation. There’s no need to waste his breath.”

“He’s a magnanimous entrepreneur to be able to go with the flow.”

“However, this also means that… everything within Boss Pei’s plan. I thought that I had done many things, but I did not surprise Boss Pei at all.”

“It looks like I have to continue working hard. The Cold-Faced Lady’s current level is far from enough to make Boss Pei look at me in a new light. I should follow Rui Yuchen’s instructions and continue to carry out Boss Pei’s plan. I have to continue managing the Cold-Faced Lady brand and opening more shops!”

Qi Yan silently made up her mind.

The talents of Tengda’s various departments were too outstanding. First, she met Rui Yuchen from Fish-Catching Take-Out, then Zhang Yahui, Bao Xu, and Liang Qingfan from the snack market.

Everyone was much more outstanding than her.

She had to work hard to fit the role of the person-in-charge of Tengda and not let Boss Pei down!

…

After hanging up, Pei Qian calmed down and went out for an early lunch. Then, he took a car to Tengda experience shop in Golden Prosperity Square.

The big screen outside the experience shop should have been completed today according to the previous arrangements. What’s more, Golden Prosperity Square would definitely publicize this. The traffic in that area would definitely increase.

As for what would happen after the increase…

Pei Qian did not dare to think about it. He could only take a look.

There was slight traffic on the road which made Pei Qian feel emotional about Jingzhou’s traffic.

Fortunately, the traffic jam was not serious. Soon, Pei Qian alighted from the car at the entrance of the Great World.

Then, he saw the crowd.

They were basically shoulder to shoulder!

Many people were wearing the team uniforms of the various teams in the GPL league, holding onto support items, and even had team logos on their faces. All of them were smiling.

“Which team do you think will win the finals?”

“Of course! It’s definitely EK! Jiang Huan will definitely win the championship this time!”

“Sigh, it’s a pity that H4 Club’s Spring Competition ended a little too badly. Otherwise, the Spring Competition would reenact the scene of the international competition. The battle between Jiang Huan and Huang Wang would definitely be very exciting.”

“What about you? Which team do you support this time?”

“Me? I don’t support any team in the finals. I’ll always support DGE!”

“Yes, no matter who wins the championship, victory will always belong to DGE!”
