Chapter 287: Limited-Time Hidden Menu

As Chen Jianhai was frantically recording names in his little black book, another message popped up:

"Have the boss wear a bikini, cover himself with themed waterproof tattoos, and pour drinks for each of us!!!"

Xu Bo was about to sell out his teammates when he saw Chen Jianhai stretch out his hand, lightly waving it with a grim expression!

"I know who this is... Lin Su Yang, you bastard..."

That night, Chen Jianhai was utterly dumbfounded.

There were people wanting to see him have a showdown with sashimi.

Some wanted to see him and the head chef hug and kiss publicly.

Some wanted to see him do an underwater dance outside the Atlantis underwater room.

Their ideas were absolutely wild,

They almost wanted to see him run naked around the hotel twice.

"Damn! Stop laughing."

Chen Jianhai fiercely kicked Xiao Lang, his face pale with anger.

He had planned to throw a decent annual party to reward his employees, only to find out they were all wolves with wild ambitions!

Not a single good one among them!

"Bro, I really admire you!"

"Other companies' annual parties have employees putting on performances, decorating the venue, playing games, and having a prize draw with delicious food,"

"The boss just has to make a toast and say a few words to enjoy with everyone."

"But here you are, asking for performance suggestions from employees and then performing them yourself?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Da Bo!"

"At Da Bo's dad's company's annual party, they certainly wouldn't mess around like this."

Xiao Lang looked at him with a "hate iron for not becoming steel" expression, rubbing his butt as he spoke.

"Get lost!" Chen Jianhai snapped.

"You've never hosted an annual party; how would you know these things?"

Xiao Lang was anxious, "I have! Last year we had one at our barbecue restaurant."

"What?!"

Chen Jianhai and Xu Bo stared at Xiao Lang with wide eyes.

"Your little barbecue place with fewer than five people even had an annual party???"

"Yes! Don't be fooled by our small scale; we had lots of fun." Xiao Lang proudly patted his chest,

"The four of us sang, danced, and spun a bottle of beer,"

"As the boss, I gave each of them a 300 yuan Xiao Lang barbecue voucher and a 500 yuan shopping card."

"In the end, we played mahjong till midnight, went downstairs for a barbecue when we got hungry, and then came back up to continue playing."

"I won over 2000 yuan that night; it was incredible!"

Xu Bo and Chen Jianhai were dumbfounded.

"You had an annual party... why didn't you invite us?" Chen Jianhai asked, bewildered.

"Forget Da Bo, he has his family... but why didn't you invite me!!"

Xiao Lang rolled his eyes at Chen Jianhai, "Bro, can you have some dignity?"

"Last year, on Little New Year, Aunt Wang from the hotel cleaning staff dragged you home for dinner, saying she wanted to introduce you to her daughter, and you happily jumped at the chance,"

"Remember?"

Chen Jianhai paused, realizing it did indeed happen.

What a headache!

Chen Jianhai kicked a small stone, thinking that if he had known the annual party would be like this, he should have asked Da Bo for advice first.

"So,"

Xiao Lang excitedly whispered, "Bro, are you really going to pole dance and wear women's clothes?"

"Wear it yourself!" Chen Jianhai retorted.

"With Wen Zifan around, I definitely can't mess around like that."

"If it comes down to it, I'll buy all the gift cards, prizes, and vouchers in advance, let the employees have fun, and I'll just hide away."

Turning to Xu Bo, Chen Jianhai asked,

"By the way, Da Bo, what are your plans for the New Year?"

Xu Bo replied, "I've been talking with the bakers, stewers, and stir-fry chefs recently, and we've come up with some new ideas,"

"The hotel shouldn't be too busy during the New Year, so I want to focus on developing new dishes."

"If we succeed, it could really enhance our menu after the New Year."

Chen Jianhai sighed, "That's not what I meant. Aren't you going home for the New Year?"

"No, I won't," Xu Bo smiled and shook his head,

"Since I finally made up my mind to come out here, I want to give it my all."

"I can tell my family that my overseas school courses are too tight, so I can't go back. My dad won't blame me."

Xiao Lang, hearing this, was instantly delighted.

"Great, this year the three of us can spend New Year's together!"

...

Langai Hotel Employee Dormitory

Completely unaware that he was on Chen Jianhai's blacklist, Lin Su Yang was slouched on the sofa, laughing and slapping his thigh as he looked at his phone!

It's just so fun to mock the boss behind his back!!!

It's like finding a new source of joy every minute!

Opposite him, Zhao An was also typing furiously on his phone, grinning from ear to ear.

"Minister!"

Zhao An suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling with bold and adventurous light.

"Let's do something big this time!"

Lin Su Yang was taken aback, what did he mean by "something big"?

Zhao An excitedly ran over to Lin Su Yang and showed him his phone screen.

"I've been following the manga 'Qingjuan' closely."

"Many fans in the livestream have been going to see the manga in person, and they mentioned the beer festival in the comments."

"A lot of the boss's manga fans want to use this opportunity to come to Nanjing City to see him, almost like they're star-chasing."

Zhao An swallowed,

"Minister!"

"Let's come up with a slogan for the boss's fan club!"

Lin Su Yang's pupils shrank,

That could work!

Once the association's five-star hotel restaurant themed tent event starts, chefs from 43 hotels will gather,

The most direct way to judge which restaurant is the best or worst will be by the number of guests and popularity.

Even though Daodun, the bakers, and others have their own following,

Their audience mostly consists of rough-and-tumble guys with limited spending and star-chasing power.

But true fans are different!!

Chen Jianhai's character is now leading in the hearts of older women, with an incredible number of natural fans and true loyalists.

If they could attract those fans,

It would be a massive boost to the hotel's restaurant popularity!

Even if they don't buy anything, just standing there as a crowd,

Would make other hotels green with envy!

"Have you thought of a slogan?" Lin Su Yang asked, suppressing his excitement.

"No need to think! It's ready-made!!"

Zhao An excitedly said,

"Just use the line 'I'll guard you till the end of the world,' it's perfect!!"

"This phrase is our boss's go-to line for charming girls, and it's now the catchphrase for his character in the manga."

"We can have the plate designers create a few 'Qingjuan' themed dishes and set up a limited-time hidden menu."

"As long as they're 'Qingjuan' fans, they can order from the hidden menu using the slogan."

"This collaboration will surely boost our popularity!!!"
