Urban drama: Starting with marrying the beautiful and wealthy Jiang Lai

The seemingly unremarkable prospective store manager's eyes lit up; he was eager to try his luck and take advantage of the handsome boss.

Li Na quickly said, "Little sister, I advise you to look in the mirror. It seems like only I can do this kind of thing right now."

If you do that, it could be sexual harassment!

The prospective store manager felt heartbroken at the time, but she also had to admit that the same thing done by a great beauty like Li Na would have a different effect than what she, an ordinary girl, would do.

Just like how people often say that if a man is handsome, it's like flirting; if he's ugly, it's like harassment.

When a handsome man takes advantage of a woman, it's called romance; when an ugly man does, it's called harassment.

The same problem exists even if the gender is reversed; this world is just too cruel to people who are not good-looking.

Next, Cao Meng inspected all the shops. Since it was already dark, he simply took Li Na to a nearby hot pot restaurant for a meal.

Li Na was surprised and asked Cao Meng, "Boss, we own our own hot pot restaurant. Why are we eating someone else's hot pot and supporting them instead of eating our own?"

Cao Meng looked at her with a smile and said, "Guess why I did this?"

Li Na thought for a moment and asked, "Boss, would you like to see if this hot pot restaurant is using your model?"

Cao Meng nodded and said, "Our Haidilao hot pot is so popular that many hot pot restaurants must be imitating it. I want to see if my model can be replicated in other stores."

If some business owners can successfully replicate this model, I'm thinking, why not just treat it as a franchise, like McDonald's?

Li Na smiled charmingly and said, "Boss, you're really smart. Relying solely on us to train store managers is indeed a bit too slow."

If we could have some franchise stores, it would undoubtedly accelerate our expansion!

However, Cao Meng was soon disappointed to find that although the hot pot restaurant had learned all sorts of tricks to make customers feel at home, including playing games for male customers and doing manicures for female customers, it was obvious that the hot pot restaurant staff did it perfunctorily and did not have the heartfelt enthusiasm of Haidilao employees.

Li Na could tell, and said to Cao Meng, "Boss, I don't think this store is qualified to be a franchisee!"

Cao Meng asked with a smile, "Then why do you think their service is so distorted, and why do customers dislike it?"

Li Na said, "Because their employees aren't genuinely enthusiastic; they're just going through the motions!"

Cao Meng then asked, "Then why do you think they did such a perfunctory job?"

Li Na laughed and said, "That goes without saying, the treatment they offer is definitely not very high!"

Cao Meng then asked the waiter who served them, "How much do you earn a month? Do you get bonuses?"

The waiter, looking exhausted, said, "It's only around 1500, even with bonuses it's only 2000!"

Cao Meng and Li Na exchanged a smile and said, "See? This boss wants his employees to learn from our employees' fighting spirit and service spirit, but he refuses to pay them high wages. It's a classic case of wanting the horse to run fast without wanting it to eat grass. How can that be possible!"

Li Na couldn't help but say, "Boss, but according to my calculations, with such high salaries, the profit margin is really not high at this stage!"

Cao Meng said, "The reason why the profit margin is not high is that I paid them too high a base salary, and the employee cost is indeed a bit high."

But they were the first generation of store managers that I personally trained. When they started training their own apprentices, the apprentices were not treated as well.

When their apprentices take on their own apprentices, the pay isn't as high.

However, the price is generally two to three times higher than other hot pot restaurants!

Cao Meng initially offered a salary of 10,000 yuan, which was equivalent to 5 to 6 times the salary of other hot pot restaurants, because he wanted to cultivate the first generation of store managers, all of whom were capable of taking on future manager and director positions.

In a typical city, they could easily open a small chain of hot pot restaurants. They are all talented in operations, so they deserve such high salaries.

While eating hot pot, Cao Meng noticed that Li Na was still taking advantage of him.

Li Na picked up her cup and drank water, feeling that this was an indirect kiss.

Just as Cao Meng picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, before he could even put it in his mouth, Li Na ate it in one bite.

It looked as if Cao Meng was feeding Li Na.

Li Na smiled charmingly and slyly, saying, "Thank you, boss, for feeding me meat!"

Cao Meng looked at the empty chopsticks, somewhat annoyed, and said to Li Na, "The meat I wanted to feed you wasn't this kind!"

Li Na immediately understood, gave Cao Meng a cute eye roll, and said, "My aunt strongly objects!"

After finishing their hotpot meal, Cao Meng drove Li Na home.

He suddenly realized that Li Na's place was really quite far away, probably more than an hour's drive from her workplace, and two hours if there was a traffic jam.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How come it's so far?"

Li Na pouted and said aggrievedly, "This morning, Yang Tao said that she lives far away, and you wanted to buy her a villa or a big apartment, but you don't care about me at all. I feel really bad!"

Cao Meng has finally found his chance to get revenge for the time Li Na took advantage of him.

He chuckled and said, "You seem to be feeling really upset. Is your chest tight and you feel like you can't breathe?"

Li Na did have that feeling in the morning, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I feel a bit suffocated and depressed!"

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "Then you've met the right person. Didn't you feel my massage technique just now? I know internal energy. I'll massage your chest and it will dispel the frustration in your heart!"

Li Na looked at Cao Meng, both amused and exasperated: "Boss, according to what you said, are you giving me a massage or taking advantage of me?"

Cao Meng snorted a few times and said, "Li Na, you took advantage of me for a day, can't I get my revenge?"

That's how relationships between two people are reciprocal.

Then, Cao Meng drove the Ferrari LaFerrari into a small grove of trees and was about to open the convertible top...

Chapter 95: Embracing Twin Sisters Peng Jiahe and Liang Shuang!

Li Na said quietly, "Boss, do you want to have sex with me in the car? My aunt is against it, my aunt wants me to go back!"

Cao Meng was both amused and exasperated. He had been so caught up in his emotions that he had completely forgotten that Li Na was actually a famous person.

He deliberately said to Li Na, "You're amazing, you're incredible, you're famous now, you have your period to back you up, I'm scared of you!"

Li Na couldn't help but giggle.

Then she suddenly remembered something and asked, "How much longer until the starfruit arrives?"

Cao Meng knew that Li Na was asking how long Yang Tao's period would last.

He said, "Yang Tao said this morning, there are still 4 days left!"

Li Na quickly took out her phone and searched on Baidu.

How can I make my period end faster?

It turned out that the silly netizens' answer was: "Kill your period!"

"Poison Auntie and kill her!"

Li Na was both amused and exasperated, but she understood that it seemed impossible to use external force to hasten her disappearance.

It seems that her only option now is to fall behind Yang Tao.

Cao Meng said with a smile, "You've already fallen behind Jiang Lai, Gan Jing, Peng Jiahe, and many others. Why are you so concerned about falling behind Yang Tao?"

Li Na said very seriously, "Because it's just the two of us who spend every day with you, we're competitive with each other."

Especially this morning when I saw how much you doted on her, I was really a little jealous. I want to surpass her!

Cao Meng shook his head and said, "You need to think about it. I've known Yang Tao for much longer than you have."

You probably don't know this, but when Jiang Lai, Peng Jiahe, and Zhu Suosuo and I booked rooms, we always went to the four-star hotel where Yang Tao worked. Yang Tao was the lobby manager at the time!

Li Na couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't know such a thing existed before."

"How could she still accept you?"

She now felt a little sorry for Yang Tao, watching helplessly as this man went to hotel rooms with several women and flaunted his relationship in front of her.

She would probably have very negative feelings towards this man, thinking he was a playboy.

Even so, it's truly unbelievable that Yang Tao could still fall for Cao Meng.

Cao Meng then gave a brief account of the changes in his relationship with Yang Tao over the past few days.

At this moment, Li Na suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why hadn't she sprained her ankle? If she had really sprained it, instead of pretending like she had just done, then Cao Meng might have treated her as gently as he had treated Yang Tao.

After Cao Meng dropped Li Na off at her apartment building, he was about to drive away.

Li Na suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'm packing my things and getting ready to go with you!"

Cao Meng laughed and said, "Where are you going with me? Isn't your aunt against us continuing our relationship?"

Li Na gave Cao Meng a cute eye roll and said, "You're always thinking about that kind of thing. The reason I said I'd go with you is that I don't want to drive two hours again tomorrow morning. I want to move there now!"

Cao Meng was slightly taken aback and said, "We haven't found a place yet, what kind of place would you like?"

Li Na said, "Let's find a hotel nearby first, and then we'll start looking for a house tomorrow. Once I've found a villa or a large apartment, will you buy it for me?"

It turns out that everything she said was just what she was waiting for Cao Meng to do.

Now that Cao Meng's relationship with Li Na has returned to normal, he no longer wants to treat her coldly like he did in the morning, as he finds it immature and pointless.

If Li Na really becomes arrogant because of her favor, then I still have the whip to deal with her.

Cao Meng then said, "Buy, although Yang Tao holds a slightly higher place in my heart than you, you were more proactive and enthusiastic, and you managed to win her back a little. So, you two shouldn't be jealous of each other. In my heart, you are equal..."

Li Na suddenly grabbed Cao Meng's hand and placed it on her chest, saying, "Flat? Flat? I'm much better than her!"

Cao Meng, almost defeated by Li Na, said, "We're on the same level, OK, I'm a master of impartiality!"

Cao Meng waited for Li Na for a while, and then Li Na packed her small suitcase and got into Cao Meng's Ferrari sports car.

Although the Ferrari sports car didn't even have air conditioning for the sake of speed, she still liked the feeling.

Because Li Na was on her period recently, Cao Meng was afraid that the bumpy ride would aggravate her period, so he didn't speed.

When he drove to the vicinity of Haidilao's flagship store, he suddenly realized a problem: "What's the point of you living here? You're my personal assistant, helping me with everything in my life and work. Shouldn't you be with me for everything, from food and lodging to transportation?"

Li Na suddenly realized and giggled, "Boss, you're right! Why would I stay in a hotel? I'll have to ask you to pick me up later and pay for the room. Boss, how about I live with you?"

As she said this, she hugged Cao Meng tightly around the neck and gave him a passionate kiss: "I want to be your live-in girlfriend!"

Cao Meng said, "I have two villas now. Jiang Lai lives in one villa, and Peng Jiahe and her twin sister Liang Shuang live in the other villa. Which one would you like to live in?"

Li Na's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Twin sister, wow, don't tell me you've won over both twin sisters?"

Cao Meng nodded and said with a wry smile, "To be precise, they've got me!"

Li Na asked with great gossip, "They won you over? How did they do it? Tell me, I want to learn!"

Li Na always felt that she hadn't completely won Cao Meng over yet, and she always felt that the relationship between her and Cao Meng was unstable. She was very worried that this man would change his attitude like he did this morning.

If a man takes the initiative to buy himself a villa to keep his mistress, then things are basically stable.

Cao Meng briefly recounted the events surrounding his relationship with Peng Jiahe and Liang Shuang.

Li Na immediately chuckled and said, "Peng Jiahe is not bad. This Liang Shuang is really cunning. She almost tricked you, but luckily you saw through her."

"That's interesting. I'd like to live with them, is that okay?"

Li Na also wanted Cao Meng to buy her a villa in her own name, but she remembered the falling out between Lan Hong and Robin.

She wouldn't be as foolish as Lan Hong. Although Lan Hong married a billionaire, that billionaire died young. Is Lan Hong, this widow, truly happy?

If Li Na could live in a villa now, living with Cao Meng, and with twin sisters around, it would seem quite interesting.

Cao Meng also felt that the villa where Liang Shuang and Peng Jiahe lived was too big, 1500 square meters, with more than a dozen rooms, and it was too spacious for just the two of them.

Next, Cao Meng prepared to drive Li Na to the villa.

Li Na has come to enjoy the feeling of secretly kissing Cao Meng, and often launches sneak attacks when Cao Meng is not paying attention.

Cao Meng had been standing by the wall, holding his phone, waiting for Li Na to finish packing her luggage so he could see her off.

As a result, Li Na put down her suitcase, reached out and pushed Cao Meng against the wall...

What is this? It's a wall slam!

Cao Meng really didn't expect that, caught off guard, he would be pinned against the wall by Li Na!

"Ding dong! Congratulations, Master, you have successfully won the second step and second base kiss with Li Na. As a reward, Master will receive detailed information on Meituan's 20 most important top talents!"

"Just like how Alibaba was able to become a trillion-dollar conglomerate because Jack Ma assembled a very successful team in its early days."

"The starting point of this vast business empire was in 1999 when Jack Ma gathered the 'Eighteen Arhats' at his home in Lakeside Gardens for a startup mobilization meeting."

"At this entrepreneurship mobilization meeting, Jack Ma set his entrepreneurial vision: to build the world's greatest internet company founded by Chinese people."

"Wang Daxing is a founder with a geek spirit. He is calm, rational, and has a high IQ. He has high and demanding requirements for people and products, pursues perfection, and strives for the best. He does not easily praise a person, but he is not domineering either."

"After dropping out of his doctoral program in the United States and returning to China, he started to start businesses, targeting the SNS field. His first major success was Xiaonei.com. Later, he founded Fanfou and HaiNei. The team from Xiaonei.com was the source of the core team for his later startup, Meituan."

"How did we find this group of people? We looked for them among those who knew him and those he was familiar with. These people all believed in Wang Daxing and in entrepreneurship. So, almost all of his founding team on Xiaonei.com were his classmates from Tsinghua University and his high school classmates."
