Outside the exclusive meeting room for the president of Chef Li Catering Group, Boss Yang had been waiting for more than 30 minutes, but the door of the meeting room had not been opened.
He was so anxious that the paper cup he was drinking water from was crushed.
No one knew what the father and son of the Li family were discussing in the conference room. They were so focused that even the general assistant didn't dare to knock on the door and could only wait outside.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the door to the president's conference room finally opened.
A man in his twenties, dressed in a suit and tie, opened the door. He had an extraordinary bearing and a dignified appearance.
This person is Chef Li, Li Yunru, the newly appointed president of the catering group and the second son of the founder Li Minglang.
Li Yunru pushed the door open and turned to the people in the conference room, saying, "Then I'll have my staff draft a plan for the Midas Touch project."
After Li Yunru finished speaking, he turned around and saw Boss Yang sitting in the waiting room. He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise flashed across his face: "Boss Yang?"
Boss Yang's face was full of smiles. "President Li, I came here uninvited!"
He rubbed his hands and handed Li Yunru a box of cigars.
Li Yunru did not accept it, but asked Boss Yang to sit down first: "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Boss Yang showed an indignant expression: "I think something is really too much. As the president of the restaurant association, you have to seek justice for the local restaurants."
Li Yunru was surprised: "There is such a serious thing, how come I didn't know about it?"
"It happened this morning!"
Boss Yang spoke calmly, "The crew of the National Style Youth Journey program didn't expect our Lotus Night Market to have such great potential. With just a little publicity, we instantly became the most searched night market on the Internet."
"They're jealous of our traffic and revenue, so they just opened a night market of their own to try to steal our business."
"This black-hearted production team relied on the fact that they were backed by Penguin Video to smear our image on Weibo."
Li Yunru raised his eyebrows: "Oh, is that too much?"
Boss Yang nodded vigorously upon hearing this: "Of course not!"
"This production team, backed by capital, is truly too arrogant. They've already started by targeting our popular Lotus Night Market."
"If they manage to steal our night market's traffic, they'll have tasted the sweetness. Who knows which internet-famous restaurant in Orange City they'll target next!"
"As the president of our Orange City Restaurant Association, you have to help our local small businesses get through this difficult time."
Li Yunru stared at Boss Yang's face for a while. "I heard that it was because you guys at the Lotus Night Market didn't do your job well, which implicated the production team and you refused to make corrections, so the production team took action."
"Those are just online rumors!" Boss Yang said excitedly, his face filled with helplessness and sadness. "The temperature in Hunan Province has dropped recently, and tourists have flocked here. Our Lotus Night Market has never experienced anything like that. We made some minor mistakes, and they were maliciously magnified by our competitors."
Li Yunru's expression was unclear: "Then how do you want me to help you?"
Boss Yang said righteously: "Let all members of the United Catering Association boycott the Daoxiang Food Festival and support our local Lotus Night Market!"
"Our Lotus Night Market is planning to launch a joint marketing campaign, attracting local businesses to participate in promotions and distributing coupons. I hope you can help me promote and organize it."
He spoke earnestly, pounding his chest with his hand: "As someone who pursues win-win results, I hope that all our local businesses can benefit from the traffic dividend of our Lotus Night Market. Only when everyone is happy can we truly achieve success!"
Facing Boss Yang's emotional performance, Li Yunru simply smiled and said, "Our catering association will seriously consider this matter."
He stood up and prepared to go back to the meeting room.
Boss Yang quickly grabbed Li Yunru, who was about to return to the meeting room, and said, "There's no time to think about this! The Daoxiang Food Festival is moving very quickly right now. It looks like they're going to wipe out our Lotus Night Market tomorrow!"
"Hurry up and call a meeting of the secretaries!"
"Didn't Lao Hu of Tea Fragrance and Lao Zhang of Rosenani recently say they were going to hold a marketing event?"
"I sent them several messages but they ignored me. Your words really work!"
Li Yunru glanced at the conference room: "This..."
Boss Yang saw that Li Yunru didn't respond and said, "I'll make the call for you!"
Lao Hu and Lao Zhang have been doing very well these years and have rarely played with Boss Yang. Boss Yang now relies on Li Yunru's presence to dare to make a call that he hasn't dialed for a long time.
After the call was dialed, it rang a few times. Boss Yang was holding the phone and organizing his words in his mind, but the next moment, the phone rang in the conference room.
Boss Yang looked at Li Yunru in disbelief with wide eyes. Li Yunru touched his nose awkwardly.
Then the phone ringing suddenly disappeared, as if someone had turned it to silent mode.
And then the phone receiver of Boss Yang said: "Hello, your call is currently unanswered..."
The shock in Boss Yang's heart had gradually turned into a sense of conspiracy. He didn't care about anything else at this time and pushed open the door of the president's conference room!
Boss Yang was stunned when he saw the scene in the conference room. Most of the members of the catering association were sitting at the conference table.
The PPT projected in the conference room had the words "Daoxiang Food Festival Investment Strategy" written on it in large letters, which deeply hurt Boss Yang's eyes.
Boss Yang felt a pang of betrayal. He pointed at Lao Zhang and Lao Hu with a trembling voice and said, "You didn't reply to my message. So you were secretly holding a meeting here to invest in the Daoxiang Food Festival behind my back!"
Boss Zhang, who grew up in the same courtyard as Boss Yang, had a look of guilt on his face, as if he was caught cheating on his wife.
Boss Hu pointed at Boss Yang and started scolding him.
"Last month, I heard that the production crew of 'National Style Youth Journey' was going to film at your night market, so I asked if you could launch a joint promotion."
"What did you reply to me then?"
"Four words: Think about it."
"As soon as you thought about it, there was no news."
Boss Yang, who had been so confident, was exposed in public and suddenly felt guilty.
At that time, he said that he felt that Boss Hu’s Tea Fragrance was too popular and he was afraid that netizens would focus on Tea Fragrance.
He finally had the chance to be on the show this time and show off in front of these bosses, and he became arrogant all of a sudden.
Boss Hu sneered, "You didn't cherish the opportunity when it came, and now that your reputation is ruined, you're looking for us?!"
Boss Yang rubbed his hands and said, "Putting aside our personal grudges, when local businesses are in trouble, we have to help them."
"We all started out as self-employed individuals, and we all know how hard it is. 'National Style Youth' is backed by capital, and I heard it was created by a celebrity who failed to get into university several times."
"I can't just stand by and watch my brothers get bullied!"
