Chapter 100: Getting on the Right Track
The chubby guy had a pained expression on his face, his gaze somber as he looked at him, like a deeply aggrieved woman in seclusion.
Qin Hao felt goosebumps all over his body, "Don't look at me like that. If you can get your weight down to 140 kilograms, I don't mind giving you the car."
"Hao, are you serious?" The chubby guy's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
Qin Hao nodded, "Yes, Tian Yamei and the others are listening too. As long as you slim down, it's yours."
Upon hearing his words, Tian Yamei and the other two looked at the chubby guy with envy—whether it was losing weight to 140 kilograms or even just to 100 kilograms, they'd be willing.
After all, we're talking about a Porsche worth over one million three hundred thousand.
Qin Hao said, "Tian Yamei, you hold on to this key. If you need to go out for official business, use this car. If Mr. Kang wants to drive it, he needs to report to me first, I'm afraid he'll crush it."
"Pfft"
The three, including Tian Yamei, couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, Mr. Qin."
Qin Hao handed her the key, then said to the group, "You guys come with me, and call Yu Jie over as well."
"Alright, Mr. Qin."
They walked into the roasted duck shop, and Qin Hao led them upstairs to the office.
Soon, Tian Yamei and Yu Jie came in too.
The office was a bit small, and it seemed somewhat crowded with six people.
Qin Hao looked at everyone and said, "I called you here today to discuss the future division of duties."
"Li Bao, as the company's vice-president, is responsible for the operation and management of all the roasted duck shops, while Yu Jie will temporarily fill the role of Financial Director.
"Tian Yamei will temporarily serve as the Legal Director. Yuan Qing and Liu Man, your work experience is insufficient, so for now, we cannot assign you titles.
"As long as you study diligently and enhance your capabilities, I will consider you first.
"All these positions are provisional, good performance may lead to a permanent status."
"Of course, thank you, Mr. Qin, we will definitely work hard."
Qin Hao: "We also need to refine the company's rules and regulations, the salary structure for different levels, and the reward system as soon as possible. This task is up to you, under Mr. Kang's supervision. Once completed, let me review it."
"Alright, Mr. Qin."
Qin Hao: "Yu Jie, finance is the heart of the company, so I hope all income and expenditure can be crystal clear."
"Absolutely, Mr. Qin, I guarantee I will complete the task," Yu Jie said earnestly.
In her heart, she was also excited; the salary for a Financial Director must be quite high.
Qin Hao: "Next, let's talk about the branch managers. Mr. Kang and Yu Jie, you are veterans. Who do you think is suitable?"
Kang Youyi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Qin, I think Liu Pengyun, Zhao Hongyu, and Chen Da are suitable." Discover more stories at empire
Qin Hao asked Yu Jie, "Director Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Jie glanced at Kang Youyi and said, "I think the candidates Mr. Kang has chosen are quite good."
Qin Hao looked at Kang Youyi with a smile, "Mr. Kang, could you explain why those three are suitable?"
Kang Youyi: "Well... they all work pretty diligently, especially Liu Pengyun. He's very ambitious and has brainpower too."
Qin Hao: "Liu Pengyun is acceptable, but Chen Da is absolutely not. Do you know how he sells roasted duck? Lazily smoking while selling my product? He doesn't even wear plastic gloves when slicing duck. That aside-
"Do you know what the worst part is? He actually has someone else sell the ducks while he goes off to play pool.
"Mr. Kang, do you really think such a person is suitable to be a manager?"
By the end, his gaze was sharp as he stared at Kang Youyi.
Kang Youyi's forehead began to sweat immediately; he genuinely didn't know about these matters.
Qin Hao: "This is the first time and the last time for you, Kang Youyi.
Find a time to tell Chen Da, if he can handle it, then handle it; if not, let Li Bao take him away."
Kang Youyi nodded hastily: "Yes, Mr. Qin, I will absolutely not make this mistake again in the future."
"Relationships outside of work are one thing, but the company is the company. I hope all of you can recognize your own positions and prioritize the interests of the company."
After roughly discussing the matters, Qin Hao dismissed everyone else, leaving only Kang Youyi.
Kang Youyi thought Qin Hao had more to say to him, so he quickly said: "Hao, I really wasn't aware of this issue, but I will strengthen my supervision in the future."
Qin Hao: "I didn't ask you to stay for that matter."
Kang Youyi asked curiously: "Then what is it?"
Qin Hao: "It's about the secret recipe for the condiments at Jiangshan Roasted Duck. I'm going to be studying soon.
Therefore, I'm leaving the responsibility of keeping the condiment recipe secret to you. I don't want anyone else to know it. Can you do that?"
Kang Youyi nodded: "Actually, Hao, that's not difficult. Nowadays, most companies have their own confidentiality systems; we can just adopt one of those."
Qin Hao spoke earnestly: "This is of utmost importance. Make sure it's one hundred percent secure, understand?"
In this company, Qin Hao still trusted Kang Youyi more than anyone else. He wouldn't really feel secure entrusting this to someone else.
"Yes, yes, sure Hao," Kang Youyi felt Qin Hao's trust and was somewhat moved.
After finishing the conversation, he asked curiously, "Hao, who will be the third store manager?"
Qin Hao: "What do you think of Yu Chengcai?"
Kang Youyi paused: "Yu Jie's brother? His work is quite good, but isn't he a bit young?"
Qin Hao: "It's the young who have the energy. Let him have a try."
"Okay, Hao."
Qin Hao stayed in the roasted duck shop until after seven in the evening before he went home.
After a busy day, he had some dinner at home and then went back to his room to rest.
Right on time, at eight o'clock, the little witch sent him a message: "Master, master, are we playing the game?"
Qin Hao replied with a sentence: "I'm too tired today, don't feel like playing."
The little witch said cheerfully: "Master, have you seen the posts on the official forum? You're famous."
"What post? I haven't had time; I was dead tired all day."
Little witch: "It's about the video of you playing the game yesterday. Many people are saying you're cheating, reporting you.
But the official response is out now, they said you're not cheating, and they even released a complete slow-motion video."
Qin Hao was stunned momentarily, then he checked his reputation in the system, and it had actually reached two million and one hundred thousand.
The reputation had risen by nearly two million, which was terrifying.
Curious, Qin Hao turned on his computer and checked the official forum.
As soon as he entered, he saw those two posts, both very noticeable: "Turn of Fate in the High-Level Squad Battles: Solo Player with 53 Kills, Defeats Professional Team, Is He a God or Just an Unknown Prodigy?"
That post had over three million clicks, and the comments had reached hundreds of thousands.
The comments were mostly about him cheating, with calls for bans and reports and the like.
The other post was an official sticky note: "Official Response Regarding the Video of Shadow Gun Demon's 53 Kills Solo"
After clicking in, the officials briefly commented, then posted a video. It was the same video of Qin Hao playing the game but in slow motion, a forceful response to those querying it.
