Chapter 1510 - 1513: Ke Bizhu's Fruitless Efforts

Early the next morning, when the sunshine illuminated the curtains, the waking Shen Qiang immediately saw the alluring Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who was charmingly and lazily supporting her head with her hand, her beautiful eyes lost in thought while looking at him.Feeling lazy, Shen Qiang smiled, half-closing his eyes, and drew her sensuous and curvaceous body into his arms. Smelling the pervasive scent of Sleeping Fire Lotus, he enjoyed her warmth like a small stove, saying, "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled gently, saying, "I can't sleep. There are many things to do today, but it might end up being a waste of time."

Surprised by this, Shen Qiang opened his eyes and looked at her, saying, "Are you very busy lately? Busier than me? How is it possible that it would be a waste of time?"

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu raised her eyebrows helplessly, "Of course I'm busy, preparing for Datong River's Beijing store. Originally, it would have been best for Chu Qing to handle it, but since you're not in the Provincial City, she can't come over with so many things to deal with there, so she left everything to me."

"Isn't the store already set up?" Shen Qiang frowned.

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu said charmingly, "Yes, but do you think having a store is enough? As for the chefs, the main store is short-staffed. Chu Qing told me they can only send over a head chef and a main chef, and for the other staff, we need to recruit locally in Beijing."

"This involves a lot of staffing issues."

Shen Qiang laughed, "What's the big deal? Offer ten percent more than the competition, and you'll have plenty of people coming."

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu said helplessly, "Some things can't be solved with money. Many people came, but very few are qualified, leaving me overwhelmed. I've always worked as a secretary and don't really understand the restaurant business, so now I meet a lot of people every day, but very few seem suitable."

Shen Qiang was silent for about two seconds then laughed, saying, "You've been a secretary for too long; your way of thinking has become rigid."

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu looked at Shen Qiang with surprise, not quite understanding why he would say that.

"Who have you been interviewing these days?" Shen Qiang asked.

"Chefs, waiters, greeters..."

"That's enough," Shen Qiang interrupted, then smiled at the surprised Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, "You've got it all wrong. As a secretary, you're used to arranging everything for me—clothing, food, accommodations, meetings, and various supplies. But that's not how a boss thinks."

"And indeed, handling such minor matters as staff for the store isn't something you should be responsible for. To put it simply, if you're feeling overwhelmed and lost, it's because you're seeing the wrong people."

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu was stunned, "You mean?"

"All you need to do is hire a restaurant manager, and then let him hire the head waiter, front desk, back kitchen, and procurement. He'll hire three people, and those three department heads will find the missing staff."

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu was shocked, "But what if they can't find anyone?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "If they can't even find a few people to make money together, then their abilities are too poor, their social circle too narrow. This means their communication skills are lacking, making them unfit for head positions. Just fire them and find someone else."

In an instant, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's brows furrowed, "Is that possible? So I've been busy for nothing all this time? Is all I need to do is find a manager for Datong River's Beijing store?"

"Of course," Shen Qiang smiled, "If the restaurant manager we hire is too clueless to realize he needs to find an HR supervisor and complete a series of recruitment tasks, then he's simply unqualified. So all you have to do during recruitment is delegate all these complex and tedious matters of staff recruitment to him."

"If he says he can't, just let him go without further ado. Because if he can't even handle hiring with company money, you can't expect him to manage and operate the restaurant properly. If he says it's hard but he's willing to try, you can consider keeping his contact information."

"The most suitable person should confidently say no problem upon hearing these tasks and provide an accurate timeline for getting the staff in place. Such a person is usually very confident and handles interpersonal relationships very well, definitely capable of being a good restaurant manager."

Hearing this, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, "I understand now. It's like your relationship with Bianyi. You entrust the Heshenghe Group to him, and he handles everything, so you're carefree. I understand. I'll reject today's waiter interviews and go find a manager."

Shen Qiang laughed, hugged her, and then said, "Okay, the problem is resolved. Now we can focus on doing something enjoyable."

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu giggled, then coquettishly glanced at Shen Qiang, "No way, it's already 7:10; I have to be at the restaurant by 9:30. There's not enough time."

Seeing Shen Qiang's disappointed look, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu blushed slightly and then softly said, "I'll come back earlier tonight. Also, you'd better be careful lately; the bounty hunters from the Bounty Hunters Platform seem to have followed us. In the past few days, I've spotted at least three groups of cultivators nearby."

Shen Qiang's eyes turned cold, and he replied, "I know. You and Ye Guyun should also be cautious."

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu smiled, "Ye Guyun and I—they wouldn't dare mess with us. Additionally, there are four very weak cultivators working in pairs, watching us around the clock. They should be from the Dragon Group."

"Ignore them," Shen Qiang said calmly.

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu chuckled, "But it does feel a bit inconvenient. You're the Dragon Group's security advisor, and you have a good relationship with the area supervisor, Wenren Meiqiao. Why not ask her to pull those watching us back?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed and said in surprise, "I have a good relationship with her? Who said that?"

Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu was stunned, "Isn't it? Ye Guyun saw her holding you quite intimately, and Ye Guyun was very upset. She said you secretly made delicious food for Wenren Meiqiao without sharing with her or inviting her, so she doesn't want to talk to you anymore."

Shen Qiang was instantly shocked. Suddenly, he remembered that indeed, since coming back last night, Ye Guyun hadn't spoken a word to him, just huffily watching anime over there. No wonder. Most likely, Ye Guyun had been following him in the sky when he went out with Wenren Meiqiao, which made things a bit awkward.

Whoosh!

Shen Qiang jumped out of bed abruptly.

With a slightly flushed face, Ke Bizhu laughed, "What are you doing?"

"Cooking," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow with a smile, "for you and my little Guyun to eat."
