Chapter 257 You are Ming Yun Villas’ Friend Forever!

After the meal… As per usual, Pei Qian arranged for the driver to send Teacher Qiao off as he remained in his private room. He was prepared to have a chat with Lin Canrong.

This chat was a little heavier for Boss Pei to have.

Now that Ming Yun Private Kitchen had become famous, it was too late for him to do anything. Pei Qian could only try his best to instruct Lin Canrong so that the situation wouldn’t get any worse.

After the dishes on the dining table were cleared, Lin Canrong sat across Pei Qian, beaming with joy.

All this while, Lin Canrong had been extremely busy.

Ever since Ming Yun Private Kitchen became a hit, all lunch and dinner reservations were full for the next two weeks.

He had been bored to death initially; now, he was working to death.

He had to preorder ingredients daily according to the reservations and make the necessary cutlery and settings changes based on each group of customers. He also had to make sure that the waiters knew what they were doing while dealing with last-minute scenarios.

Fortunately, Ming Yun Private Kitchen had many chefs and wait staff with the latter all well-trained. Hence, he had still managed to make things work.

Although he was so busy, Lin Canrong was extremely happy. He felt that he could finally showcase his true worth.

Boss Pei had handed him such a good restaurant; he naturally couldn’t let Boss Pei down and had to continue helping the restaurant thrive. He even wanted this restaurant to become the best in Jingzhou City!

Although there were many customers-as there weren’t that many seats in the private kitchen to begin with, all the guests were still manageable.

Speaking of this, Lin Canrong was even more impressed with Boss Pei’s foresight.

Previously when Ming Yun Private Kitchen had been quiet and deserted with few customers, Boss Pei had requested for him to focus on running the restaurant and not caring too much about publicity.

Indeed, within two weeks, the restaurant had become a hit!

Fortunately, Lin Canrong had been very obedient. He had put his heart and soul into the kitchen and on the wait staff, ensuring an extremely high standard dining experience. That was how Ming Yun Private Kitchen’s reputation had maintained at such a high level.

This time, Boss Pei must have more words of wisdom for him.

Pei Qian drank his tea as he said indifferently. “I don’t have much to say, actually. I just want to instruct some matters.

“Regarding ingredients, we definitely cannot use any inferiors. We can’t think that just because customers might not realize it, we cut down on the quality of the ingredients. Every customer must be treated as a food critic.

“The seating arrangement needs to be stringently adhered to; let’s maintain the status quo. “Don’t come up with any policies banning the bringing of alcohol or having a minimum spending for private rooms, extra costs for disinfection, etc.

“I had mentioned all these at the start; I just want to reiterate these points again.

“You also know that all the company’s projects, including Ming Yun Private Kitchen, will be under a reputation-based reward system.”

Pei Qian felt that he had to emphasize all these again.

If Lin Canrong suddenly started having ideas and wanted to add more seats or enacting policies banning the bringing of alcohol, implementing a minimum charge for private rooms, etc.; wouldn’t that result in more profits?

The next settlement was only slightly more than a month away. Ming Yun Private Kitchen was already a burden to Boss Pei; this burden couldn’t get heavier!

If Pei Qian couldn’t make a loss, he would really puke blood.

Lin Canrong hurriedly nodded. “Understood, Boss Pei. You are afraid that I might be too mindful of costs, and that might affect Ming Yun Private Kitchen’s reputation. Rest assured that I will remember everything you have said. Customers’ opinions of us will always be the priority!”

Pei Qian nodded his head. “Alright.”

Although Lin Canrong didn’t know the true meaning behind Pei Qian’s words—since Ming Yun Private Kitchen had deteriorated to this stage, Pei Qian didn’t have any good ideas to remedy the situation. He would be very thankful if things didn’t worsen.

“That’s all. I won’t hold you back. I’ll head to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and hang about.”

Pei Qian left Ming Yun Private Kitchen and headed outside the villa.

The sky was a little dark. Pei Qian turned and looked at Ming Yun Private Kitchen. For some reason, he felt rather terrible internally.

Really terrible!

Pei Qian sighed quietly as he was prepared to leave Ming Yun Villas and head to a nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to sit and drink some coffee.

Now, only the peace and serenity of the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe could soothe his wounded soul.

He had just walked two steps when someone shouted, “Boss Pei?”

Pei Qian paused as he turned. It was actually Manager Cui. This was Ming Yun Villas’ sales manager. When Pei Qian had purchased this villa, Manager Cui had personally brought him over to see the villa.

Manager Cui was rather happy to see Pei Qian. “What a coincidence, Boss Pei! We actually managed to meet! I was still thinking when I could pay you a visit to thank you in person!” Pei Qian was confused. “Thank me?”

Manager Cui laughed. “Yes, Boss Pei. Of course, I have to thank you! Take a look. These are Ming Yun Villas’ new publicity slogans.”

Manager Cui tapped his phone a few times as he opened a PDF picture with the new publicity material for Ming Yun Villas.

Pei Qian was stumped as he took the cell phone and had a look. When he had bought this villa, Pei Qian had seen Ming Yun Villas’ publicity material before. These so-called publicity materials were basically pictures of villa districts, the scenery, as well as some slogans.

For example, ‘picturesque and a natural wonderland’, ‘a villa hidden in the mountains and rivers’; ‘a mountain villa, a new trend’; “happily staying in a cash cow, appreciation of value just a matter of time’, etc. All in all, Pei Qian had found these materials to be rather fake and were just artificially praising the villa district; he had not paid much attention.

This new publicity material on Manager Cui’s cell phone was completely different!

‘Ming Yun Villas, pioneering Jingzhou’s new commercial district’; ‘far from the hustle and bustle and yet near to a flourishing region’; ‘a nameless restaurant is just in your backyard’; ‘enjoy domestic delicacies and meet Jingzhou’s celebrities’…

Furthermore, the pictures were also completely different!

Besides the normal pictures of villas and the scenery, many pictures regarding Ming Yun Private Kitchen and the nearby commercial district were included as well!

One was ‘Jingzhou’s new commercial district’.

The picture had all the shops near Ming Yun Villas, such as the internet cafe, bar, board games cafe, coffee shops, etc. It seemed very happening.

Another was ‘a 5/5 mysterious restaurant making waves on the internet; the nameless restaurant is here!’

This picture had Ming Yun Private Kitchen’s Quanmin Reviews profile page as well as some pictures inside of Ming Yun Private Kitchen.

One other picture was ‘being neighbors with Jingzhou’s celebrities’.

This one zoomed in on all the luxury vehicles parked near to Ming Yun Private Kitchen, as well as a few group shots of successful persons.

Pei Qian felt that he was growing a little dizzy.

What was going on?!

As the sky had darkened, Manager Cui completely missed Boss Pei’s rather pale face as the former said excitedly, “Boss Pei, these flyers had been sent out; within a week or two, we should be able to see the effects!

“This time, our boss has decided to go all out. We have purchased publicity slots in newspapers, on TV, the exterior of buildings, magazines, public transports, as well as advertisement signboards in Jingzhou City!”

Pei Qian felt even more light-headed.

What the hell? They had bought advertisement slots everywhere? Wait a minute, I thought that you guys couldn’t sell any villas in this area?

I had done my due diligence before making my purchase previously. Didn’t they say that there wasn’t any investment value in the villas here and that they were not competitively priced?

Why the sudden widespread publicity?
