Today, Prosperous Flavor was rather desolate.
Because of the incident yesterday, Manager Wu loved everyone involved… Oh, that was wrong. He punished everyone without discrimination and simply fired all the assistants he had hired. Now, the new assistants had not arrived yet.
Of course, this quietness was only relative. After all, Prosperous Flavor was a well-known chain restaurant. Even at this time, more than half of the seats in the restaurant were occupied.
…
Meanwhile, in the Hedilao kitchen…
Ye Feng suppressed his excitement and asked impatiently, "How are the results?"
Qi Yun was also unusually excited. He looked at the report and took a deep breath, cooling down the surrounding air as a result. Then, he said, "Currently, the total number of members has reached 270. There are 117 new members."
"Meanwhile, the total value of the membership cards has exceeded 160,000 yuan!"
"Furthermore, the revenue from yesterday has already been tabulated. We earned a total of 59,000 yuan!"
After he finished speaking, he waved the paper in his hand and shouted, "Boss, we've exploded with profits!"
"Good!"
Ye Feng roared with laughter, and he felt slightly parched. He raised the bottle of mineral water in his hand and poured all of it into his mouth.
The revenue from yesterday was 59,000 yuan. Since the hotpot base was a gift from the system, after subtracting the cost of manpower and electricity, their net profit exceeded 30,000 yuan.
Most importantly, the capital returns from their members had exceeded 160,000 yuan!
This was the most important thing!
This was just one shop. What if there were 10 or 20 shops?
This sum of capital returns had been obtained in one go. It was enough for him to do many things!
It was time for him to list down his plans for opening other shops!
"Do your best to ensure that the supply is maintained. Contact the transportation company and get them to speed up the delivery of the hotpot base portions."
"Then, take note to ask where these customers came from!"
Ye Feng calmed down and began to give orders. "Also, there aren't enough snacks… Forget it, I don't think you have time. I'll go buy some."
The number of people today had exceeded his expectations. The rate at which word of mouth was spreading would not be this fast. In that case, there must be other channels that helped him!
…
In reality, this was just the beginning of Hedilao's popularity.
After all, almost all of the guests in this batch of customers were staying nearby.
Meanwhile, those who lived far away in other districts had just started their journey.
There are more than 10 million people in Quan City. Even if only one in 10,000 had read Quan Food World and was interested in Hedilao as a result, it was still a terrifying number.
…
At 2pm, a group of strange customers suddenly arrived at the bustling Tianda Plaza.
Most of them had their hair dyed blonde. They walked in an annoying manner while their faces were filled with indignation.
This was the pair of scene kids from yesterday. However, their numbers had increased slightly.
The blonde leader led the team up to the second floor and avoided the patrolling security guards. Then, he turned his head and said, "Ah Cheng, we're counting on you!"
The roguish youth called Ah Cheng covered his mouth and nodded with a firm gaze. "It's our duty to restore the glory of our beloved Buried Love Family!"
As he spoke, he immediately lay down. Then, the blonde beside him quickly lifted him up.
The group of them walked up to the third floor in this strange way.
On the third floor, at the entrance of Prosperous Flavor, the blonde leader took a deep puff of his cigarette and let out a loud shout!
"Trash Prosperous Flavor. You ruined my spirit, wasted my money, and destroyed my youth!"
Seeing that the surrounding crowd was gathering around him, the blonde spoke even louder. "My brother ate hotpot at Prosperous Flavor last night and he can't get up today!"
As he spoke, he instantly laid on Ah Cheng's body. He forcibly squeezed out a few tears and wailed, "My poor brother, wake up!"
The other blondes started howling as if they had rehearsed this.
Not only was this scene not tragic, it was instead full of joy.
Upon seeing this, the crowd that was watching the commotion immediately started discussing among themselves.
The waiters who welcomed customers didn't dare to be careless after such a huge incident happened at the entrance of the shop. Thus, they quickly reported it to the manager.
When Manager Wu rushed over and saw their leader, he immediately jumped up.
Manager Wu was simply hopping mad. "Y-y-you… it's you again!"
"That's right, it's us, the righteous Buried Love Family!"
The blonde leader instantly stood up. He looked like a completely different person from his earlier dejected appearance. Instead, his face was full of righteousness. "Today, I'm going to expose you all!"
"Security, security!"
Manager Wu shouted and turned to grab an employee beside him. "Quick, call the security guards."
Then, he walked forward. His expression changed and he forced a smile.
After all, Manager Wu knew very well that even though he didn't know what the blonde and the others were up to, the most important thing now was to stop them from causing any more trouble.
"Isn't it just half a day's salary? I'll give it to you. Quickly take your people away!"
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Manager Wu became anxious.
"What?"
Unexpectedly, the blonde took a step back and pretended to be surprised. "You want to bribe us with money?"
"Stop talking!"
Manager Wu was really anxious and hurriedly went over. Seeing that he couldn't tempt them with money, he could only change his strategy. "Do you really want to make a scene? If you don't leave, we'll call the police!"
"Call the police?"
The blonde smiled. "I'm 17. None of my brothers are over 16."
"And then?" Manager Wu was dumbfounded.
"And then?"
"My brothers are all underage. If you call the police, in the worst case scenario, we'll just be considered a public nuisance. At most, we'll be locked up for a few days."
"In our family, this is how we end up in jail!"
As he spoke, the blonde gave him a thumbs up. "Besides, we're all underage. How can you report such a small matter to the police?"
"What's the point of calling the police?"
The blonde's train of thought was very clear.
He didn't care if the matter blew up or not. All he knew was that he had suffered yesterday and had to get back at them today. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be the boss anymore!
He was already at the age of rebellion, so why would he care about anything else?
"Then what do you want to do!"
Seeing that he couldn't threaten them, Manager Wu had no other choice. "If you have any conditions, we can negotiate."
"Pui!"
Unexpectedly, the blonde said with disdain, "Do you want to bribe me?"
"When are we leaving? Let us vent our anger first!"
After saying that, the blonde no longer bothered with Manager Wu. Instead, he started shouting loudly as though he was doing a crosstalk performance. He said in an endless stream, "My brother ate hotpot at Prosperous Flavor last night. When he got home, he started spurting on the toilet bowl. It was unstoppable. It was like a fighter jet.
"He went to the toilet four to five times in one night!"
Manager Wu scratched his head in frustration. He looked at the blonde-haired teenager who was performing by himself and felt a sense of regret.
"Call the police, quickly call the police!"
Seeing that the situation was beyond his control, he had no choice but to call the police.
"Boss, they've called the police."
"Oh?"
The leader of the blondes glanced at Manager Wu, bent down, and said to Ah Cheng, "Ah Cheng, is everything okay?"
"No problem."
Ah Cheng opened one eye and winked. "Brother, before I came, I ate two kilograms of soybeans and drank a glass of warm water. If the police dare to come, I'll shoot them with diarrhea on the spot!"
"Well done."
The blonde sounded even more confident.
