The doorbell rang.
Huo Yunchao looked up and saw Qin Shu leaning against the door, looking at him with great interest.
He swaggered in, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite Huo Yunchao. "Old Huo, be honest, are you really going to start a business, or are you just reluctant to let Junior Sister Dai Dai endure the wind and sun, your burly body trembling for a beauty?"
Huo Yunchao replied to the email on his computer, "Starting a business is starting a business, there are no excuses."
Qin Shu refused to believe it even if he were beaten to death. With the spirit of getting to the bottom of things, he continued to gossip: "Your image as a devoted CEO, oh my, if the media reports this, you'll attract another wave of female fans. Sigh, tell me, how do you manage to balance love and career so well?"
Huo Yunchao was unimpressed by the praise. He pointed to his brain and said, "You can't learn genius ideas."
Feeling deflated, Qin Shu snapped, "Then what will Junior Sister Dai Dai do once the riders you recruit join the food delivery army?"
Huo Yunchao didn't even bother to roll his eyes. He picked up a letter from the table and threw it in front of Qin Shu. "Dai Dai has such high financial acumen. Do you think she'll stay a deliveryman forever? She knows that developing big clients and group buying are the future trend. Didn't you see that?"
The letter, written by Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan to senior executives of companies in the CBD, appealed to them from a humanistic perspective to improve employee benefits, such as adding afternoon tea. Finally, they proposed launching coffee delivery services.
Qin Shu weighed the letter in his hand. "Dai Dai's idea is quite bold. I heard from the property management that many companies in our office building have received this letter."
"Dai Dai has been exposed to MBA business warfare courses since she was a child. Do you think she's just a pushover?" Huo Yunchao was very proud. Dai Dai was his pride.
Qin Shu was practically drooling with envy. "But Lao Huo, you're planning to do nationwide food delivery and group buying business. How many merchants do you need to recruit? How many delivery riders do you need to develop? The advertising and media placement costs alone are astronomical! Even though you're a billionaire now, I reckon after one round of advertising, there won't be much left."
Huo Yunchao stopped what he was doing, leaned back in his chair, and seemed to be thinking about the future. "Of course we can't use our own money to invest, otherwise wouldn't all those investors be doing nothing? The most urgent thing now is to build a strong sales team and go deep into the core business districts of first- and second-tier cities to talk to those catering and service businesses one by one. The delivery riders also need to be trained."
"Tsk tsk," Qin Shu clicked his tongue. "This guy's really going to pull off something big. No wonder you're moving your headquarters to Zhongguancun. Once the company gets bigger, the rent at Yintai will be outrageous."
Huo Yunchao glanced at his watch. "I have appointments with several investors this afternoon and evening. You and Fang Yun can handle the rest."

Just before the end of the workday, Jin Xiangyu came to the coffee shop and immediately asked in a loud voice, "Is everyone busy tonight?"
The store was fully staffed; all four of them were there.
"Oh, Sister Yu, are you asking this because you're going to treat us to a meal?" Xue Qiandai sniffed her nose and asked with ill intent.
Jin Xiangyu pointed a finger and lightly tapped her forehead. "You're the quickest thinker here. We should have treated everyone to a meal a long time ago, firstly to welcome Dai Dai to join us, and secondly to celebrate the booming business of the coffee shop. Each person can bring one family member."
The boss revealed a sly smile.
You Duoduo was the first to sigh and hang his head. "Sister Yu, are you sure you're giving employees benefits, or are you torturing single people?" He wanted to bring his family, but where could he find someone to bring?
"If I don't tease you a bit, will you be more enthusiastic about blind dates? Go out more on weekends, don't just stay home all the time." Jin Xiangyu is really worried about the happiness of her colleagues in the shop.
You, the ultimate otaku, Duoduo: "..." She was speechless. "Brother Lan doesn't go on blind dates either, why aren't you urging him?"
Jian Yan glanced at Blue Mountain, who was still studying coffee beans, and covered her mouth to laugh: "Blue Mountain has high aspirations. Even if he doesn't go on blind dates, girls will still come to him."
You Duoduo was speechless again. He had no ambition? Was he just a lazy bum?
Lan Shan, who was caught in the crossfire, always had people trying to recommend girls to him. How come he didn't know?
"Where are we going to eat, Sister Yu? It's going to be a big meal!"
Xue Qiandai emphasized the word "feast," implying that the bankrupt heiress was very particular about food.
"How about Yunhaiyao? Both Lan Ka and I are from Yunnan."
"It's alright, I guess." Xue Qiandai thought to herself, then whispered to Jian Yan, "Call your senior Yuan along, the headquarters of *Fashion Vanguard* isn't far from here."
Jian Yan blushed, lowered her head, and whispered, "I don't even know if he has time. This is a bit sudden." But she still took out her phone as instructed.
Before the call could even be made, the "family members" showed up at the door.
"Is Jian Yan here?" Yuan Mu asked, standing at the door. The rain outside had stopped long ago, but his shoes were wet, and his trousers were covered in mud. His hair was also a bit messy.
"Senior Yuan, what brings you here?" Jian Yan greeted him with a smile. "I was just saying I was going to call you!"
Yuan Mu was taken aback, then grinned. "I came to find you, let's have a meal together."
"What a coincidence, we're having a get-together at the restaurant today, and the boss is treating!"
