Chapter 117 Restaurant

Lin Canrong had never heard of a restaurant needing to prepare different styles of tableware and even tables…

There was space to store these things. The villa had an underground garage that could hold a lot of tables and chairs, but setting them all up every time they ate…

Just thinking about it was a pain in the neck.

Pei Qian shook his head and said, "Of course it's necessary!"

"As a high-end restaurant, in addition to good ingredients, good cooking skills, and good dishes, you also need a good enough environment."

"It's like ancient scholars drinking wine. Different wines are drunk from different glasses, and there are many complicated and cumbersome steps. This is not just a sense of ritual, but also because suitable tableware can better show the characteristics of the wine and better set off this special atmosphere!"

"Other restaurants only serve one type of cuisine, so the decoration style can be simpler."

"Our restaurant serves many types of cuisine such as Western, Chinese, Japanese, and French. In order to provide customers with the best dining experience, we must prepare multiple styles, from decoration, table settings, and tableware to specific atmospheres and environments. We must achieve 100%!"

"Details determine success or failure, understand?"

Lin Canrong's mouth was slightly open, filled with shock.

This…

Although it made a lot of sense, something felt off.

The dining environment was indeed important, but was it worth the trouble of constantly changing decorations and tableware?

Could it be that… what President Pei was asking for wasn't just a dogma or a sense of ritual, but this attitude of striving for perfection?

By perfectly arranging the dining environment, better providing customers with the best dining experience?

Yes, that must be it!

Lin Canrong nodded vigorously: "Yes, President Pei, I understand!"

"I'll go back and cram on relevant knowledge, and systematically train our service staff. Whether it's Chinese food, Western food, Japanese food, or other cuisines, we must be meticulous, from the environment and service to the specific way of eating, we must do everything to the extreme!"

"Uh…"

Pei Qian was speechless for a moment.

Actually, he didn't want to be so strict, after all, this was for his own employees to eat, what was the point of providing such good service?

As a result, Lin Canrong misunderstood, and Pei Qian couldn't correct him.

Lin Canrong thought of another question: "President Pei, what's the name of our restaurant?"

Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and asked, "Does it have to have a name?"

Lin Canrong: "…"

Of course it had to have a name!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward if customers wanted to recommend it to their friends?

"Hey, I went to a particularly delicious restaurant the other day!"

"Oh, what's it called?"

"No name!"

That didn't seem right…

If they wanted to put it on a review website, they would have to fill in a store name!

What's more, this store was located in a villa area.

There was already little traffic, and there was no sign outside. Passersby might not even know it was a restaurant, they might think it was a normal residence!

Pei Qian shook his head confidently: "A name is not necessary."

"We conquer diners with delicious food, not with a catchy name."

"Good food speaks for itself, even if we don't promote it, it will always become popular."

Lin Canrong opened his mouth: "But President Pei, the store has to have a name, we have to apply for a business license!"

"Oh." Pei Qian thought for a while, "Then you decide, you're the manager."

"Register whatever name you want, but don't make a sign, and don't display it. We're going to win customers' love with delicious food!"

"In short, prepare well. I'll bring Tengda's employees to support you for the first meal!"

When Lin Canrong heard that he had to come up with a name himself, he felt a little nervous, but looking at Pei Qian's trusting eyes, he nodded.

"Okay, President Pei! I will do my best!"

…

Back in his rental apartment, Pei Qian opened Aili Island again to check the video he had submitted.

The number of views was still not high, it didn't seem to have changed much since he left in the morning.

This was normal. Without exposure, there were no views, without views, there were no likes or coins, so it would naturally be buried.

It didn't happen overnight for many up-and-comers with useful content, they relied on continuously updating high-quality content and slowly accumulating popularity.

Pei Qian ordered the latest flagship phone from Shenhua online. It was going to be the victim of his next episode.

However, at the current shipping speed, it would take at least two or three days to arrive.

"Sigh, I miss JD…" (Jingdong - an e-commerce platform known for its fast delivery)

"I hope my Upwind Logistics can develop quickly so I can experience the feeling of ordering in the morning and receiving the goods in the afternoon."

Pei Qian yawned, wrapped himself in a blanket, and went to take a nap.

…

…

August 1st.

In the morning, Pei Qian came to the office in good spirits.

Today was the day for the semi-annual excellent employee selection.

All the employees knew it, and they were either excited or apprehensive.

Only Bao Xu looked a little ugly. He had no interest in this selection at all, and was secretly praying, "Please don't let me be second in the voting!"

Bao Xu had been deliberately lowering his profile during this period, but when it came to voting… who could say for sure?

"Okay, enough with the small talk, everyone, vote."

Pei Qian was too lazy to say more. Anyway, no matter which two lucky employees were selected, he would arrange the 1 million yuan dream fund and a month of paid vacation.

Pei Qian's only bit of selfishness was that everyone should try not to vote for Lü Mingliang.

After all, compared to Huang Sibo and Bao Xu, Pei Qian was quite satisfied with Lü Mingliang. He was very obedient and didn't overthink things. If he replaced him with another main planner, it wasn't certain that he would be as satisfactory as Lü Mingliang.

Everyone clicked their mouse to complete the voting.

Some employees weren't here, but voting online was the same.

Soon, the voting was over.

Pei Qian glanced at the votes and his heart skipped a beat.

Damn, the first place was really Lü Mingliang!

What he feared most had come true.

Pei Qian was very reluctant. After all, it wasn't easy to find such a mediocre main planner. What if he replaced him with one like Huang Sibo, who would crazily carry President Pei and make things worse?

However, rules were rules. Although Pei Qian had some preference for Lü Mingliang, he couldn't break the rules for him.

Pei Qian collected himself and handed the small trophy to Lü Mingliang: "Congratulations!"

Lü Mingliang was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

He didn't expect it to be him!

Lü Mingliang looked at Bao Xu, feeling that Bao Xu was more experienced and qualified to receive this award.

Pei Qian guessed what he wanted to say and shook his head gently: "This was unanimously voted by everyone, you deserve it."

Lü Mingliang hesitated for a moment before accepting the trophy.

The trophy wasn't big, but it was heavy!

Was this how Brother Huang felt when he received the Best Employee Award?

Lü Mingliang felt it. This wasn't just a trophy, it was President Pei's trust in him, a heavy responsibility!

In that instant, countless words rushed to his mind, but he didn't know what to say.

Pei Qian looked at the second place.

Bao Xu.

There was no way around it. After all, *Game Producer* was mainly Lü Mingliang's responsibility. Although Bao Xu also contributed a lot to the new versions and new games, Lü Mingliang was, after all, the main planner and the most visible to everyone.

Although Bao Xu hadn't been in the limelight much, he had contributed to both experiencing the game and debugging the game's details, so he was still among the top in the excellent employee selection, winning second place.

So, this awkward situation arose again.

Pei Qian silently looked at Bao Xu, revealing a kind smile.

Brother, it's not me targeting you.

This is the choice of the masses…
