Luo Juan said, "Everything we have is given by Boss Ling. No matter what Boss Ling instructs, we would go through fire and water without hesitation."
Cheng Kun also said, "My main task for next year is to get our Xi Shan Group's logistics and transportation industry up and running, because I've beco very familiar with the business of Lightning Logistics."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "That's right, we are indeed lacking in this aspect. It's our shortcoming, and what worries most about the Capital City's restaurant is the transportation of vegetables and related issues.
If you can really solve the vegetable transportation along these lines, we won't be at anyone's rcy in the future."
Cheng Kun assured, "Don't worry, Boss Ling, I will definitely handle it."
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, feeling quite happy, but at this mont Yang Zixuan said, "Although our restaurant's reputation is very good now, there are still so shortcomings."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, as he didn't particularly like flattery and preferred others to offer so opinions. So when Yang Zixuan said this, Ling Zhenfei was very pleased.
"Tell what you have in mind. If anyone is qualified to make suggestions about the restaurant, it's probably you."
Yang Zixuan said, "Everything in our restaurant is excellent now, especially the taste of the vegetables, which is unmatched by any other restaurant. However, we must have a sense of crisis."
"What kind of crisis awareness?" soone nearby asked.
Yang Zixuan continued, "If our restaurant always remains the sa, without updating our dishes, we might be surpassed by other restaurants. Especially since our vegetables are not exclusively supplied to Xi Shan Restaurant."
"Exactly, initially Xishan Manor focused on vegetable cultivation, primarily selling vegetables to restaurants. It was only later that we expanded to the Xi Shan Restaurant business, so there are still many restaurants on the market with our Xishan Manor vegetables.
Everyone knows that our Xi Shan Restaurant's dishes are delicious, which is our foundation. If other restaurants use our Xishan Manor vegetables to create more exciting and tastier dishes, and at a lower price, why would people still co to Xi Shan Restaurant?"
Listening to Yang Zixuan's words, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but be very surprised. He didn't expect Yang Zixuan to be so capable, analyzing all the pros and cons so thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, what Ling Zhenfei used to be proud of—vegetable sales—has now beco an obstacle to Xishan Manor's progress.
But at this mont, Luo Juan said, "Although Manager Yang makes valid points, I have a different opinion. This issue has its pros and cons, not everything is a disadvantage."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback again, "Manager Luo, please share your insights."
Luo Juan said, "Everything Manager Yang just ntioned is based on the fact that with the sa vegetables, other restaurants innovate and progress while ours stagnates."
If that really were the case, it would indeed be as Manager Yang described, with our Xi Shan Restaurant gradually disappearing in the stream of history. But as long as we strive to innovate and create more delicious offerings, other restaurants won't pose a threat.
In fact, other restaurants could even serve as a form of advertising for our Xi Shan Restaurant. That way, even if people have tried the vegetables at other restaurants, they'll still want to co to taste the best dishes at Xi Shan Restaurant."
One must admit that Luo Juan's analysis is very rational, leaving Ling Zhenfei greatly impressed. But it also served as a wake-up call for Ling Zhenfei to pay more attention to the restaurant's matters.
After returning to Qinghe Village, Ling Zhenfei would talk to Xue Fei and Bai Lin about these matters and also ask them to explore outside more. Perhaps the vegetables from other restaurants could provide so inspiration.
For professional chefs like them, staying in one place often leads to limitations. Sotis visiting other places can spark a wealth of inspiration.
Cooking is like writing; if you only stay in one spot, you'll be limited in perspective. This is the underlying principle of "reading ten thousand books is not as useful as traveling ten thousand miles."
Everyone expressed their views on the matter, and in the end, Ling Zhenfei thanked them for their contributions to Xi Shan Restaurant during this ti.
It was already quite late at night, the restaurant finally quieted down. Ling Zhenfei's restaurant had a strict schedule and would close at midnight.
Since this was not a bar but a place to eat, there was no need for extended hours, even if it was late at night.
At night, Ling Zhenfei and others were arranged to stay at the adjoining hotel, which was now the designated accommodation address for Xi Shan Restaurant. Anyone coming from elsewhere to Xi Shan Restaurant would typically stay there.
Ling Zhenfei and Zhou Yun were also arranged to stay there, while Luo Juan and others went ho since they lived in the city, leaving Zhou Yun and Ling Zhenfei at the hotel.
Ling Zhenfei returned to his room, but as soon as he did, he was stunned.
Because he hadn't expected there to be soone in his room, and that person was Yang Zixuan.
At this mont, Yang Zixuan was sitting in Ling Zhenfei's room. Upon seeing his return, Yang Zixuan appeared slightly flustered.
Ling Zhenfei was startled and knew without asking that Yang Zixuan must have overheard what had happened in the room with Zhou Yun. It was unexpected that Yang Zixuan would co at such a late hour.
"Zi Xuan, why are you here?"
Yang Zixuan glanced at Ling Zhenfei, and the look in her eyes was sothing he couldn't quite decipher.
With an inquiring tone, Yang Zixuan asked, "Big Brother Ling, you and Manager Zhou?"
Ling Zhenfei knew there was no point in denying it and said, "That's right, you've heard it all, I have nothing more to say. You can leave now."
Yang Zixuan fixed her gaze on Ling Zhenfei, eyes never leaving his. Ling Zhenfei, of course, understood Yang Zixuan's thoughts. The ti they spent together was extensive, likely longer than anyone else except Zhou Yun and He Lingxiu.
The two of them were once colleagues, and Ling Zhenfei's resignation was largely related to Yang Zixuan. Ling Zhenfei had helped Yang Zixuan with many things, such as the incident during her college reunion.
That incident would have been quite different if not for Ling Zhenfei's presence. Now, Yang Zixuan was appointed as the manager of Binyang Restaurant, which serves as both a promotion and challenge for her.
Yang Zixuan was no longer the inexperienced newcor she once was; she now exuded the maturity and competence of a successful woman.
From her fashion sense to her deanor, there's no trace of her earlier novice self. Anywhere Yang Zixuan goes now, she becos the center of attention and envy.
