Free Web NovelChapter 632: Chapter 616: Feature Interview?
"Wow, so many flower baskets... It’s indeed quite spectacular... Looks like Tao really went all out this time..."
"Master, it’s right at the store with all those flower baskets at the entrance, just stop in front of that store..."
Outside the store, a small truck wobbly stopped by the roadside at the store’s entrance, with a load of large indoor plants in the cargo.
The truck door opened...
Sun Jiakang jumped off the truck, followed closely by two workers who also jumped down.
They started unloading the truck swiftly.
They moved two money trees, two coin trees, two lucky bamboos, and two areca palms from the truck one by one.
Each of these plants was about as tall as a person.
Their quality was top-notch.
Such plants could range from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan each.
Seeing this, Huang Yide immediately came over, happily greeting him when he saw it was Sun Jiakang, "Ah, Jiakang, you’re here..."
"What is this..."
Sun Jiakang laughed, "Uncle, you’re here at the new store too. I heard from my mom that Tao’s restaurant is opening today. We didn’t know what to give you, so we discussed it with Uncle and decided to pick out some plants and have me deliver them. We hope you like them."
"I told you, there’s no need to send anything. Just coming to join the fun is enough, why spend the money?"
Huang Yide shook his head speechlessly.
It seems all my instructions were for nothing...
Sun Jiakang waved his hand disapprovingly, "These are just my mom and my uncle’s intentions, Uncle, don’t refuse."
Huang Yide thanked him, "Then we’ve troubled you!"
Once the unloading was done.
Huang Yide immediately called Li Chengzhan and the other staff over to help, "Chengzhan, Qi Yu, come over here and move these plants inside."
No sooner had he spoken.
The first to hear were Ma Junwen and the other rich kids, who swarmed out eagerly, "Do we need to move these plants into the store?"
"Uncle Huang, don’t you move, we’ll handle this!"
Huang Yide: "..."
"Uncle, Tao hired a great team, they’re insightful and eager to work."
Sun Jiakang spoke instinctively.
However...
When he noticed these people were all dressed in designer clothes, even their hair looked exquisite, his moderately handsome face couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
He looked left and right, up and down, but no matter how he looked...
These people didn’t seem like employees at all!
They seemed more like Tao’s classmates or friends!
"They’re not the store’s employees."
Huang Yide waved his hand and said, "They’re all Tao’s regular customers! Some of these flower baskets were sent by them, and the rest were sent by other regulars."
Ah?
They’re all customers...
This is the first time he’s seen a store opening where customers eagerly help out and send flower baskets to congratulate!
This really sets a precedent!
Looking again at the flower baskets, many were sent by well-known companies, listed groups, government offices, and food magazines, and his eyes couldn’t help reflecting the words "I don’t understand, but I’m deeply impressed."
It must be said, his cousin is truly amazing!
He managed to win over these business moguls just with his culinary skills...
Keep in mind, these business tycoons are not people that just anyone can meet or invite over...
But now.
They not only remembered his cousin’s store opening amidst their busy schedules but also specifically sent flower baskets as congratulations.
This kind of treatment, though not entirely unique, is certainly one in a million!
At this moment, Ma Junwen and the other rich kids, along with Li Chengzhan and the other staff, busied themselves moving the plants into the store and arranging them in different spots.
Now.
The entire restaurant almost immediately seemed vibrant and thriving with life.
Sun Jiakang chatted a bit with Song Cailian and Huang Tao before being flattered by these rich kids, who invited him to sit and poured him tea.
After all, he is Huang Tao’s cousin!
Luckily, they were all young people with similar interests and hobbies, so sitting together and chatting didn’t let the atmosphere cool down.
"Wow, Boss Huang’s new store is really upscale... If Old Qin hadn’t told me it was Boss Huang’s store, I wouldn’t have recognized it~"
A rather familiar voice sounded at the doorway and drifted inside.
Huang Tao heard it, wiped his hands, and came out from the kitchen, peeking out to see...
It was none other than Wei Mingguo, who he hadn’t seen for a long time.
And coming in with him was Old Qin.
Huang Tao was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Wei Mingguo to come and congratulate him on his store opening today.
But, every guest is welcome!
Huang Tao greeted them with a smile, "Ah! A rare guest! Welcome, welcome."
"Boss Huang, congratulations! I just heard from Old Qin last night that your new store is opening today, so I came along with him. I didn’t know what gift to prepare, so I prepared a small red envelope..."
As Wei Mingguo was speaking, he picked up a red envelope and stuffed it into Huang Tao’s hand.
Immediately, Old Qin also presented a red envelope.
The thickness of these two red envelopes was roughly the same, probably around three thousand.
Huang Tao couldn’t refuse, so he accepted them.
"Elder Wei, Elder Qin, you’ve been too generous, please have a seat, stay for lunch!"
"Alright! I came today just for a free meal!" Wei Mingguo replied with a big smile.
They didn’t have much to discuss with the group of young rich kids, so they sat down with Huang Yide, chatting and catching up on family matters.
Almost nine o’clock.
Lin Jingsong and several taxi drivers walked in, with Lin Jingsong at the front, carrying a jade cabbage statue, as they entered the store.
As soon as they stepped inside, they captured the attention of everyone in the store.
"Wow, what a beautiful cabbage..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Xuanxuan couldn’t help but get closer, snapping photos with her Polaroid camera.
"Boss Huang, we weren’t sure what gift to give you, but I have a friend in the decoration business, so we picked a jade cabbage mascot from his shop, wishing your store great prosperity and wealth."
"Jingsong, you all are too kind."
Huang Tao came up to them, and together with Li Chengzhan, received the statue, placing it on the wine rack behind the counter.
This item certainly needed to be kept safe, after all, it was a gesture of goodwill!
"Jingsong, come, come, have a seat over here, you picked a really nice decoration, it instantly makes my little store shine."
Huang Tao welcomed them for tea.
At this moment, Ding Cheng and Jiang Mingtao arrived.
Jiang Mingtao was incredibly generous, besides the pair of flower baskets sent earlier, he also handed over a thick red envelope to Huang Tao.
The meaning behind it was great!
Eighty-eight thousand!
And Ding Cheng gifted a pixiu statue, about thirty centimeters tall, but entirely made of solid copper, quite heavy.
However, Huang Tao was unfamiliar with such things, so he was momentarily unsure of where to place the item.
Luckily, under the guidance of Old Qin and Wei Mingguo, it was positioned on the cash register, with the head facing the entrance of the store, symbolizing the accumulation of fortune.
"Teacher Ye..."
Xuanxuan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately spotted Ye Wen, who had just entered the store.
She happily approached, hugging Ye Wen’s petite waist. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Xuanxuan~"
Ye Wen bent down, patting Xuanxuan’s little head, offering her blessings, "Happy Birthday!"
She squatted down, retrieved a gift box from her handbag, and said, "Xuanxuan, this is your birthday gift from your teacher, see if you like it."
This was a children’s learning machine Ye Wen had carefully picked, featuring many functions including phonics, picture recognition, mathematics, and various knowledge areas, along with some intelligence games to boost children’s intellect and develop their potential.
Xuanxuan nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Teacher Ye, I really like it."
"I’m glad you like it!"
Ye Wen smiled, pinched her little cheeks, then stood up and took out a diamond painting of a fortune deer from a large bag, handing it to Huang Tao: "Here’s your opening gift, hope you like it."
This picture was something Ye Wen had worked tirelessly to complete, sticking each jewel over many nights.
It required quite an effort from her!
The frame was also an express service she paid extra for.
Though a diamond painting isn’t worth much, what mattered was Ye Wen’s intention towards Huang Tao.
"Thank you~"
Huang Tao smiled as he accepted it, planning to hang it sometime later when he had a moment.
Soon after Ye Wen entered.
Lin Manli arrived with her team, bringing equipment, and gave a gentle smile, "Boss Huang, congratulations on your new store opening:"
As she spoke.
She handed Huang Tao a big red envelope.
It was thick and quite heavy.
Probably around thirty thousand!
Huang Tao couldn’t refuse, so he accepted it: "Thank you, you’ve been too generous."
Lin Manli smiled slightly and explained her other reason for coming: "Boss Huang, starting today, I plan to feature your store in a column."
These words.
Stunned both Old Qin and Wei Mingguo.
A column interview?
It means that whenever a new store opens, people from the "Food and Beauty" magazine will come to shoot footage.
This matter...
In the past, no dining establishment received such treatment...
There were previous attempts where restaurants wanted to pay a high price for Chief Editor Lin of "Food and Beauty" to conduct a column interview, but were flatly refused by Chief Editor Lin.
Unexpectedly, now...
Chief Editor Lin actually took the initiative to propose such an interview for Huang Tao, if any high-end restaurant heard about this, they’d probably be lamenting at their business.
You have to admit, Boss Huang is indeed impressive!
