What's the hottest thing in Zhonghai right now? Everyone will give the same answer – crayfish hot pot.
Especially when people talk about a crayfish hot pot restaurant with good food and service, people want to go even more.
"Hearing you say that, I absolutely have to go for a meal. You say it's that delicious and the service is that amazing, I don't believe what you're saying is true."
People never imagined that a restaurant opening would cause such a sensation. This perfectly illustrates Zhang Tianxing's brilliance; he achieved what others could not.
However, none of this affected Zhang Tianxing. At this moment, Zhang Tianxing was burying his head in university textbooks, studying diligently.
"I say, Miss Tan, can you explain this to me? I don't quite understand. Why is it allowed here, but not here?"
Tan Honghong looked at Zhang Tianxing with disdain. "I don't know how you passed your college entrance exam to get into Zhonghai University. You should just open a restaurant. If I were your teacher, I'd be driven mad by you."
Zhang Tianxing was first-class in everything except his academic performance. Explaining problems to him was draining her brain cells.
If it weren't for Zhang Tianxing's past contributions, she wouldn't have bothered with such a slacker.
"By the way, how's your crayfish hot pot going lately?"
"Same as always, always a queue every day. If you want to go, let me know in advance, and I'll have them prepare it and pack it up for you!" Zhang Tianxing patted his chest with great confidence.
Tan Honghong was initially pleased, but upon hearing "pack it up," she was so angry that she stomped on Zhang Tianxing's foot and stormed off.
"What kind of person is this? I haven't even finished teaching yet. Forget it, I'll learn on my own..." Zhang Tianxing continued to bury himself in his studies, determined to learn it or die trying.
Although Zhang Tianxing acted with discretion, discussions about him in the school and society began to spread.
There was no other way; after all, Zhang Tianxing was so successful, and his actions were like a cleaver cutting through wires, swift and electrifying, a beam of light visible from miles away. He couldn't help but be famous.
The crayfish hot pot restaurant was packed every day, with waits of over an hour during peak times.
It was strange, people would rather queue for two hours for a meal at the crayfish hot pot restaurant than go to other restaurants.
Compared to the crayfish hot pot establishment, the business of other restaurants plummeted.
At this time, Wu Jiuping learned of this news and was so angry he almost spat blood again.
His household servants and company employees were all aware of the feud between Wu Jiuping and Zhang Tianxing, so they tried their best to keep the news concealed.
However, fire could not be wrapped in paper, especially with the immense popularity of the crayfish hot pot, which had already spread like wildfire.
"What? Zhang Tianxing and Yan Ruyu are messing around together again? This Yan Ruyu truly has no shame. Neither of them are good people!"
Wu Jiuping couldn't believe his ears. How much time had passed?
He heard news of Zhang Tianxing again.
He recalled when the beverage factory was under his management, products piled up, and in his desperation, he undertook major reforms and sold off the beverage factory.
Who would have thought that after Zhang Tianxing acquired it and converted it to produce canned goods, it would revive from the brink of death and seize half of China's canned food industry?
This led to his status within the family plummeting. All of this was due to Zhang Tianxing.
Then there was the incident with the crayfish pond, which had rubbed Wu Jiuping's face in the cement.
This grudge, Wu Jiuping, will remember it. If I get the chance, I will repay Chairman Zhang handsomely.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianxing chose the path to hell when heaven's gate was open. Doing business in Zhonghai City, Wu Jiuping had plenty of ways to make him submit.
First, he would occupy the moral high ground. Wu Jiuping had summarized his past failures.
By gaining an advantage in public opinion, Zhang Tianxing would no longer be a threat.
The crayfish hot pot restaurant was so successful, it was all due to Zhang Tianxing's excellent marketing. Many of his promotional methods were unprecedented.
However, after seeing the results, Wu Jiuping had to admit that Zhang Tianxing truly had a knack for promotion.
Wu Jiuping angrily slammed his fist on the table. "Damn it, I didn't expect this Zhang Tianxing to have these skills. Don't you make any mistakes, or I'll make you pay."
"Someone, investigate for me, check Zhang Tianxing's financial situation. See if he's involved in money laundering or tax evasion? I refuse to believe that in this day and age, someone can truly start from scratch."
The world is the same everywhere; others' hands are stained with blood, and I refuse to believe your hands are completely clean, without the slightest problem.
Zhang Tianxing had become Wu Jiuping's obsession, but he couldn't directly confront Zhang Tianxing now.
The Wu family couldn't withstand any more blows. Therefore, they could only wait to find any illegal or disciplinary violations by Zhang Tianxing.
Wu Jiuping's plan was quite perfect, but he hadn't yet found any illegal activities by Zhang Tianxing.
This Zhang Tianxing was too clean, truly a law-abiding citizen.
This is impossible, I don't believe it.
One person's ideas are limited, but three people's ideas are better. Wu Jiuping felt he couldn't deal with Zhang Tianxing alone. It seemed he had to gang up. Zhang Tianxing, don't blame me for having more people to bully you.
Wu Jiuping intended to start from the catering industry, striking the snake at its most vulnerable point.
If Zhang Tianxing's reputation could be ruined in the catering industry, then Zhang Tianxing would naturally be no cause for concern.
Wu Family Teahouse.
"I've invited everyone here today mainly to discuss a major issue in our catering industry. Does this crayfish hot pot cross the line?" Wu Jiuping posed the question first.
Since he had grievances with Zhang Tianxing, it wouldn't hurt him to be the first to act. m..oΓg
Upon hearing Wu Jiuping's words, many bosses almost cried.
There was no choice. Ever since the crayfish hot pot restaurant opened, their income had been halved. Who could stand that?
Heaven and earth are vast, but the wallet is king. Zhang Tianxing's actions had undoubtedly emptied the pockets of everyone present, so they all harbored resentment towards him.
"When Zhang Tianxing first introduced crayfish, I thought he was an okay person. Who knew he would turn out like this? He didn't study well in school and had to mess around. He's determined to disrupt this market."
"Exactly. There are national laws, and there are industry rules. Why is he paying his waiters such high salaries, 40% higher than ours? He clearly has ulterior motives and malicious intentions."
"Zhang Tianxing is breaking the rules by doing this. Rules are paramount. The salary for waiters is an industry norm. By doing this, we should collectively boycott him."
But when it came to a boycott, everyone was stunned. They realized they couldn't control Zhang Tianxing because Zhang Tianxing didn't need them. They couldn't help but sigh. If heaven gave birth to Yu, why must it also give birth to Liang!
