According to Chen Lin, Meng Baitao also conducted an investigation into Shen Dong.
He checked to see if Shen Dong had the capability to invest and whether he could provide sufficient research and development funds.
He hadn't realized how much he didn't know until he looked into it: he was taken aback.
Shen Dong, a young man who had graduated less than a year ago, was not only the owner of the Dongyan Guild but also of Shuidilao.
The Dongyan Guild, he didn't know much about as he was too busy with his daily work to pay attention to these things.
But Shuidilao was a name even he couldn't ignore, as both ordinary employees and executives in his company talked about Shuidilao's services.
Once, at a senior management dinner, those executives even suggested going to Shuidilao for hotpot.
Meng Baitao didn't think much of it and just went along with them.
After going there, he understood why Shuidilao was so popular.
That wasn't all.
