Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let's close the restaurant for tonight and change the restaurant's name. Then, let's choose an auspicious day for the opening."
"An auspicious day? What era is it now, yet you still believe that? You are so superstitious!" Yu Xiaofei giggled from the side.
Qin Yi looked at her with disdain and then explained, "We are actually abiding by the law of nature by choosing an auspicious day."
"In fact, it's the same as planting flowers in suitable seasons. It will impact us greatly if we don't choose the right time. It is in accordance with the ways of nature. Otherwise, why do you think those wealthy people would spend so much money to hire a Geomancy master every time they open a company? Do you think they have too much money to spend?"
"What's more, opening a new store means a new beginning. You must drive away the bad luck of the restaurant and let your luck dominate this store."
"Also, Geomancy is very particular..."
Qin Yi was talking non-stop when he suddenly discovered that he was howling at the moon.
Yu Xiaofei and Shen Moyun weren't listening to him at all.
Helplessly sighing, he spread his hands and asked, "Are you guys listening to me?"
"Yes." The two nodded at the same time and then shook their heads. "But we don't understand."
"Forget it. Anyway, listen to me. Let's start our business on an auspicious day." Qin Yi waved his hand and said to Shen Moyun, "Right, before I choose an auspicious day, I'll recruit a lobby manager to cooperate with you in the next few days. Otherwise, no one can manage the restaurant when you cook."
"Print more flyers and hire people to hand them out on the street for the next few days. Give customers a 30% discount for the first three days of opening."
"Also, you don't have to cook all by yourself. How about this? Limit the number of dishes you cook. You can only make one dish which costs 200 bucks for each table, two dishes which cost 200 to 400 bucks, three dishes which cost 400 to 600 bucks, and so on."
"But... Is that really okay?"
Shen Moyun could accept his suggestions, but she was worried the customers wouldn't like it if she didn't cook enough.
"This is also a way to promote our restaurant," Qin Yi said, "The more money they need to spend, the more high-end they'll think the food they get. To put it another way, which famous chef would cook for everybody?"
"But..."
Shen Moyun wanted to say that she wasn't a famous cook but was interrupted by Qin Yi.
"No buts. Do you think you can cook everything alone? I'm not exaggerating. Maybe you'll be busy enough with cooking only a few dishes, as I mentioned. When our business grows, we have to improve our standards."
Qin Yi said.
After that, he walked around every corner of the restaurant before going back to the table and asking someone to bring some paper and a pen. Then, he jotted down the changes that needed to be made to the interior layout.
For example, he asked them to replace the air conditioner in the left corner of the wall with a pot of plants that attracted wealth. That position helped attract wealth, so they shouldn't put random stuff there.
Then, he asked someone to place an aquarium near the entrance. Not only did it help the restaurant look fancier, but it also could help keep money according to Geomancy.
Another example...
A moment later, Qin Yi filled out the whole paper and handed it to Shen Moyun. "I've already decided on an auspicious day. We'll officially open in five days. You can follow my instructions on the paper for the next few days."
"Is this... really necessary?" Shen Moyun asked suspiciously.
"I'm the boss. You have to listen to me no matter what."
Qin Yi didn't bother to waste any more time. Talking to her about Geomancy was equivalent to talking to the wall.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaofei patted Qin Yi with dissatisfaction. "Hey, what kind of attitude is this? How can you talk to Moyun like this?"
"Can you speak to your landlord like this?" Qin Yi shot a glance at her.
......
The next day, Qin Yi talked to Director Li and asked him to change Yu Xiaofei to the business department.
The director of the music school wasn't willing to let Yu Xiaofei go, but Director Li dared not go against Qin Yi. He'd spent quite a bit of effort and bribed the other party to settle the matter.
Yu Xiaofei worked hard too. Since she switched to the business major, she had bought a large pile of economic books. After school, she would stay in her room and focus on reading and studying.
She even read while eating.
Qin Yi was very gratified. It seemed that apart from having a low IQ and poor figure, his future wife wasn't completely useless.
However, she would fall asleep in less than ten minutes every time she read.
Speaking of Yu Xiaofei's figure, Qin Yi felt lost again.
Qin Yi didn't know where that miracle doctor was. So, he couldn't ask him for a solution.
He called his master to ask about the whereabouts of the miracle doctor, but his master didn't even answer the phone!
But he received a text message from his master. "Don't return to the village if you can't have a baby!"
Qin Yi called a few more times but still couldn't get through. At the same time, he received several identical text messages.
Only then did he realize that this was an automatic reply!
It turned out that his master had put him on the blacklist!
Qin Yi was depressed. How could they pressure him like that?
To put it in another way, milk powders were expensive and unsafe. Also, with Yu Xiaofei's figure, how could she raise a baby?
Qin Yi couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
Anyway, it was not easy for him to come to the city. He had to enjoy his time here first.
Over the past few days, Shen Moyun had been extremely busy. She reorganized the restaurant according to Qin Yi's suggestion.
As the boss, Qin Yi didn't just sit back and enjoy.
He went to the printing store to print out the flyers. He used a photo of Shen Moyun in a chef's uniform as the background, and the title was 'The Most Beautiful Chef in Hosia'. There was also a line of the small caption below. "A beauty's dish. What are you waiting for?"
He wasn't sure if Shen Moyun's cooking skills were the best in Hoxia.
But in terms of appearance, not only in the food industry, Shen Moyun was a top beauty in the whole Hoxia!
They could look at the background of the flyer if they didn't believe it.
She looked as attractive and seductive in a chef's uniform just as how she would look in a police uniform, a maid's uniform, a water army uniform, and a nurse's uniform. It could make people drool.
It would be such a waste if Qin Yi didn't make good use of her looks.
......
In the office on the third floor of Hongye Restaurant on Red Street.
Li Chongyang, who was naked, combed his hair slowly while staring at Shen Moyun, who was wearing a chef's uniform on the flyer.
Beside him, a long-legged woman in a pink nurse's uniform was carefully dressing him.
After putting on his clothes, the woman took off her nurse uniform and bent down to pick up the underwear scattered on the ground and the lobby manager's uniform. She put them on one by one.
"President Li, if there's nothing else, I'm going to leave first." The woman leaned forward slightly and said respectfully.
"Wait." Li Chongyang sat on the sofa, lit a cigar, pointed at the woman on the flyer, and said, "Bring this chef here. I can pay as much as she wants."
"Okay, President Li."
Li Chongyang wiped his mouth and said, "Also, call the waiter Sasha, who just got hired, and ask her to change into a chef's uniform."
"A chef's uniform?" The woman was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Li Chongyang pointed at the flyer again. "Ask her to dress like this."
"Understood, President Li."
After the woman left, Li Chongyang took a drag on his cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Moyun, grinning obscenely. "The most beautiful chef in Hosia? Not bad, hehe..."
