Chapter 80

After two months of renovation, the Gray Whale Restaurant began operations.

However, looking at the sign put up opposite, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of astonishment; it really did suit Lu Yuan!

"Gast Restaurant?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Wang Hu asked in confusion, "Brother Cheng, what does 'Gast' mean?"

"The God of Food in Greek mythology! He has a violent temper, and if he doesn't taste good food, he'll stir up trouble! Simply put, he's not a good thing!"

Explaining to Wang Hu beside him, Zhang Cheng spoke with disdain.

"Ah? Are there gods like that?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Wang Hu became puzzled.

"There are all sorts of weird gods abroad, even their history is made up of novels!"

Looking at Wang Hu beside him, Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

And just after Zhang Cheng finished speaking, Wang Hu continued, "Brother Cheng, do we need to find some famous chefs and food critics to promote us?"

"Are you okay? What use are famous chefs compared to influencers? Go to our entertainment company and find a few beauties with millions of followers!"

After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Hu looked like he had learned something and said excitedly, "Brother Cheng, your idea is truly great!"

"Of course, after all, I am a man who uses wisdom as a weapon!"

With his hands on his hips, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh loudly.

And watching Zhang Cheng, Wang Hu couldn't help but applaud.

Watching this scene with twitching lips, the employees in the shop rolled their eyes one after another.

Because they finally understood why the manager could earn so much money!

Wang Hu: Every cent I earn is based on my ability!

Zhang Cheng: That's right, Tiger, Big Brother has your back!

Two days later, on a certain short-video platform, the Gray Whale Restaurant's exposure increased significantly.

Boredly scrolling through short videos, people swiped down and immediately saw a landscape of ultimate beauty.

Sitting on the restaurant's balcony, looking out at the sunset in the distance, everything seemed so wonderful.

Accompanied by pleasant music, a woman in high heels and a white dress appeared.

Those long legs that could make one drool sat before the dining table, and exquisite, mouth-watering food immediately appeared on the screen.

And in the bottom left corner, there was the name "Gray Whale Restaurant."

Different from this kind of promotional video, Zhang Cheng also specifically had the company film quite a few "store exploration" videos.

Although the prices were a bit vague, this definitely wasn't him misleading customers.

Because the people who come here are all wearing neat suits and backless evening gowns...

"Tiger, who the hell filmed this short video? The legs only appeared for a few seconds, who's that enough for!"

Scrolling through the video, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and roar.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Hu rolled his eyes impatiently and said, "Brother Cheng, did you forget what we're promoting?"

"Uh!"

After a long silence, Zhang Cheng finally remembered that they were mainly advertising the Gray Whale Restaurant.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng leaned over to Wang Hu and said, "Tiger, tell me, those legs..."

"Sister Xiaotao!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Hu spread his hands helplessly.

"Oh, never mind then!"

Getting the answer, Zhang Cheng lost all interest in those legs.

"No, boss, what do you mean, why did you lose interest when you heard my name?"

Walking in from outside, Sister Xiaotao's face showed an angry expression.

"You heard wrong, Sister Xiaotao, we weren't talking about you!"

Watching Sister Xiaotao walk in from outside, Zhang Cheng and Wang Hu hurriedly defended themselves.

"But I just heard you talking about my name and something about legs, is that fake too?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng and Wang Hu, Sister Xiaotao asked somewhat angrily.

"Believe me, I'm the Zunlong of Magic City, Sister Xiaotao, you go back first, I'll give you a raise next month!"

Signaling for Sister Xiaotao to leave, Zhang Cheng and Wang Hu couldn't help but quibble—bah, explain.

And after Sister Xiaotao left, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Sister Xiaotao could be considered an old employee of the entertainment company; after all, she came to apply as soon as they started the business.

But that's not the point; the point is that although Sister Xiaotao looks young, beautiful, and has a good figure, her hometown is in Sichuan-Chongqing!

There are three places in the Far East where you can't mess with the women: one is the Sichuan-Chongqing region, one is the Three Northeast Provinces, and as for the last one, it's Qinghai!

In Sichuan-Chongqing, you don't have to believe in "mild spicy," but you must believe in "Laozi Shudaoshan"!

And the Three Northeast Provinces, don't even mention it, because there's the only domestic violence shelter in the country, and please note, this is a place for men to go, free stay for seven days!

As for Qinghai, that's because the ratings are too low; everyone would rather believe that Qinghai men have stubborn mouths than believe there's no domestic violence!

Pang Yu: Could it be that there's no such thing?

Imperial Consort Pang: Younger brother, you're truly stubborn about that million taels of silver!

Grand Tutor Pang: You unfilial son...

As the short video went viral online, more and more people came to the Gray Whale Restaurant to check in.

And even if some things here really didn't fit the public's taste, everyone was willing to give a five-star review.

Because everyone had already spent their money; if they felt it was a loss after eating, wouldn't they be suckers?

So under this strange phenomenon, Zhang Cheng watched the restaurant become more and more popular, but instead frowned, because he couldn't believe it either!

After all, the chefs Lauren found at the beginning really couldn't be considered top-tier famous chefs!

They were just a bunch of gamblers who couldn't pay off their debts and were forced to work here!

And before they started work, Zhang Cheng specifically held a "small meeting" for them.

That was hanging a chef who violated the rules directly from the rafters and whipping him for half an hour.

For the specific source of inspiration, please inquire in detail with Grand Tutor Pang of the Song Dynasty!

Pang Yu: Do you really have to chat with me about whipping with alcohol-soaked lashes for disinfection?

Zhang Cheng: It's mainly because it's effective and fast, great!

After inspecting the restaurant, Zhang Cheng saw two sneaky figures wearing sunglasses leaning against the window.

Walking up, Zhang Cheng sized them up, only to find them turning their heads directly, as if afraid to see him.

Showing a meaningful smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease, "Yo, isn't this Miss Jiang and the airport kid?"

"What airport kid, I have a name! My name is Lu Yuan, remember that!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng call him the airport kid, Lu Yuan couldn't help but get angry.

And looking at Lu Yuan, Zhang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "National Martial Arts Champion!"

"Here!"

Running up quickly, a young man stood with his hands crossed over his chest and said, "Brother Cheng, who's not convinced?"

Watching the young man with twitching lips, Lu Yuan didn't dare to speak.

Because this is the National Martial Arts Champion; may I ask, among the fourteen billion people in the Far East, how many can fight such a ruthless character?

"Is the melon ripe? Aren't you arrogant? Aren't you cocky? Come on, hit me!"

Leaning down, Zhang Cheng patted his cheek, signaling for Lu Yuan to make a move.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with hatred, Jiang Lai couldn't help but say, "We're here to eat! Are you sure you want to do this!"

"Fine, considering that the two of you are customers, I'll give you a gift!"

Clapping his hands, Zhang Cheng signaled, "Manager, for this table, bring a bottle of Romanée-Conti, my treat!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng straightened his tie and left.

And seeing that Zhang Cheng actually gave away a bottle of Romanée-Conti, many people opened their mouths in surprise.

Because this boss is truly talented and wealthy!

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Jiang Lai, who had been somewhat hostile toward him, couldn't help but smile now.

Because this guy is actually quite sensible!
