After a few jokes, Shen Dong took out a check and handed it to Chu Feng, saying, "There are rewards for merit and punishments for mistakes. Director Chu, Aren and Achan have already reported to me that you deserve immense credit for the rapid construction of the garment factory and hotel projects. You played a crucial role, especially in pushing things forward at some key stages. Also, the renovation and production at Tengfei Textile Factory were more than two months ahead of schedule, all thanks to you. This three million yuan is a reward from the company. We hope you can achieve even better results in the future."

Three million?

Chu Feng glanced down at the amount on the check and exclaimed, "This is way too much!"

Achan chuckled and said, "Director Chu, if you think it's too much, you can share some with me and Aren."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately put the item away and said, "No way. Mr. Chen, am I the only one who received the reward?"

Shen Dong said, "At this stage, it's just you. Aren and Achan will only be rewarded after Tengfei Garment Factory and Tengfei Hotel are officially operational and their performance is satisfactory."

Chu Feng said smugly, "Looks like I'm pretty good after all."

Shen Dong said, "Stop being so narcissistic. Let's go for a walk."

Achan asked, "What about Sister Xin? Isn't she going?"

Shen Dong said, "Xin Xin went to the Tengfei Charity Foundation. She's busier than me."

Half an hour later, the group arrived at Tengfei Textile Factory No. 1.

After the three major textile factories merged to become Tengfei Textile Factory, in order to distinguish them, the old system was used, and they became Tengfei Textile Factory No. 1, Factory No. 2, and Factory No. 3.

Shen Dong personally visited the workshop and extended his warm regards to the employees on the production line.

Gifts of condolence are, of course, essential.

The workshop employees were all very excited to see their boss, Shen Dong.

Of course, this was not because Shen Dong had a high reputation among them, but because Shen Dong offered them much higher salaries than before.

After visiting the three textile factories, Shen Dong then took a look at the Tengfei Garment Factory.

Half of the workshops have already started production, while the other half will not be operational for another two weeks.

Shen Dong asked, "Aren, if all the production lines were running at the same time, how many clothes could be produced in a month?"

Chen Yongren said, "Around 20 million pieces. That's the largest production capacity in all of Asia."

Shen Dong pressed further, "Can the Xia Kingdom market become saturated?"

Chen Yongren said, “It’s far from enough. Although we are already the number one clothing brand in Xia Country, occupying 50% of the market in low- and mid-range clothing, our sales scope is only in cities, and the rural market has not been fully developed. We plan to find agents in major towns and cities to extend Tengfei Clothing’s low-end brand to rural areas.”

Shen Dong nodded and said, "It still comes down to those four words: small profits but quick turnover. The most important thing is to capture the market."

Chen Yongren replied, "Understood."

Shen Dong asked, "What about high-end clothing?"

Chen Yongren said, "Sales are not very good, and our market share is less than five percent. Now that major international clothing brands are entering the market, our sales environment has become even worse. Brother Dong, what we mean is to separate the high-end clothing segment and stop calling it Tengfei."

Shen Dong immediately understood his meaning and said, "You think that Tengfei's low-end and mid-range clothing has dragged down Tengfei's high-end brand image, right?"

Chen Yongren said, "That's right. High-end brands are a symbol of status and must be distinguished from mid-to-low-end brands. Otherwise, many customers will feel that they are on the same level as ordinary people."

Shen Dong said, "You're right, I didn't think it through. You can discuss how to do it. Then give me a detailed plan."

Chen Yongren replied, "Understood."

Achan glanced at the time and said, "Brother Dong, it's getting late, let's go eat first."

Shen Dong hummed in agreement and said, "Alright. Tomorrow morning I'll check on the construction of the hotel and museum, and in the afternoon I'll go to the Forbidden City to see the treasures the experts have collected for me."

Chu Feng said, "I've heard that among your treasures are more than thirty national treasures. May I come along to broaden my horizons?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course. Director Chu, now that you're in Yandu, do you have any plans for tonight?"

Chu Feng said, "That's a must. After dinner, I'll take you to the Soul Bar."

Shen Dong said, "Soul Bar? That's quite a bold name. Is there anything special about it?"

Chu Feng said, "The owner of Soul Bar is a big singer, and his friends perform on stage almost every night. People who can get in are either big stars in the entertainment industry or big bosses from various industries. Many second-generation officials and rich kids in Yandu like to go there to have fun."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, this Soul Bar is just a social venue!"

Chu Feng nodded and said, "You could say that."

Shen Dong said, "Okay, I have nothing to do tonight anyway, so I'll go and see what's the difference between the bars in Yandu and the bars in Hong Kong."

After picking up Li Xinxin at the Tengfei Charity Foundation, Chu Feng treated the four of them to a meal in a courtyard alley.

After a satisfying meal and drinks, Li Xinxin and Achan, who had no interest in bars, decided to go shopping instead.

Chen Yongren immediately dispatched eight bodyguards to protect them.

These bodyguards all came from Tengfei Security Company. Since their homes were near Yandu, Shen Dong asked them to come back to work.

When it comes to protecting the matriarch of the household, the bodyguards naturally do their utmost and dare not slack off in the slightest.

On the other side, Chu Feng led Shen Dong and Chen Yongren to the Soul Bar.

As soon as he got out of the car, Shen Dong saw Li Jie standing at the door and said helplessly, "Jie, didn't I tell you? Yandu is very safe. You don't need close protection."

Li Jie said, "Bars are dangerous places, and I must ensure your safety."

Shen Dong looked at Chen Yongren and asked, "Did you call A-Jie?"

Chen Yongren shook his head and said, "It was Ah Jie who called me. I was afraid he would beat me up, so I had no choice but to tell him the truth."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Alright, let's go in together then."

As they approached the entrance of the Soul Bar, four security guards immediately blocked their way.

Chu Feng took out a card and handed it to the head security guard.

After confirming that there were no problems, the security personnel allowed them to pass.

The Soul Bar is very large, about 1,500 square meters, and is decorated in a magnificent and opulent style.

When Shen Dong and his three companions entered, a beautiful female singer was performing on stage.

There were forty or fifty people sitting below, drinking and listening to music, enjoying themselves immensely.

"The environment here is nice."

Shen Dong nodded to himself.

A stunningly beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, dressed in a cheongsam, walked over.

She is quite old, but she is very well-maintained and possesses a mature and charming allure that far surpasses that of young girls.

"Young Master Chu, it's been quite a while since you last visited."

The beautiful woman seemed to know Chu Feng well, and immediately took his arm.

Chu Feng said, "I've been very busy lately and really haven't had time. Sister Li, could you please find us a private room? I have a friend to entertain."
