Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Ze walked to the entrance of the Prince Xuan Restaurant.

The greeters standing at the door immediately showed very respectful smiles when they saw Li Ze arrive.

The greeter quickly bowed and greeted them loudly:

"Hello, boss!"

Li Ze nodded to the greeter and said in a very amiable tone:

"Please arrange a booth by the window for me, and brew me a pot of good tea."

"Also, isn't your store supposed to have a morning meeting at 10:50? When you have the meeting, please make sure everyone is there. I have something very important to announce to everyone at the meeting."

Upon hearing that the big boss was about to announce something, the receptionist immediately nodded very seriously.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it for you right away."

The greeter turned around and went to get busy.

A short while later, Li Ze sat down in a booth by the window.

The hot tea was served quickly.

Li Ze picked up his teacup, took a sip, and thought it tasted very good.

He leaned back in his chair and glanced out through the floor-to-ceiling window.

The streets outside are bustling with people, and the sunlight shines on the leaves of the trees, making me feel very comfortable.

He had only been sitting down for a short while.

A figure dressed in business attire walked over from the direction of the front desk.

It was Zhang Ruoran.

Zhang Ruoran stood next to Li Ze's table, her hands crossed in front of her.

She frowned slightly as she looked at Li Ze's relaxed and carefree demeanor.

Zhang Ruoran asked him:

"What big news are you going to announce later? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Li Ze held his teacup, smiled, and shook his head.

He looked at Zhang Ruoran, his tone carrying a hint of deliberately keeping her in suspense:

"You'll find out at 10:50. Let me keep you in suspense for now."

Seeing his shameless refusal to tell her beforehand, Zhang Ruoran sighed helplessly.

"Alright, if you want to keep me in suspense, then go ahead. I'm going to get busy now."

After Zhang Ruoran finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Ze.

She added very seriously:

"But don't forget the important matter."

Li Ze knew what she was talking about.

That was the fake reconciliation they had planned beforehand.

Li Ze looked at Zhang Ruoran with a very confident smile on his face.

He replied:

"Don't worry, I may not have any other skills, but I will never forget what I promised."

Seeing his confident smile, Zhang Ruoran, though still a little curious, didn't press him further.

She turned around and quickly went back to the front desk to continue her work.

After Zhang Ruoran left.

Li Ze sat alone in a booth, slowly sipping his tea while watching the shop's employees busy with their tasks.

He discovered something.

Although this Prince Xuan restaurant is not particularly large, it also doesn't have many employees.

But these employees are really quick and efficient at getting things done.

Everyone has their own responsibilities, and everyone knows what they are supposed to do.

Some were setting the plates, some were wiping the tables, and some were taking inventory.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, and their actions were clean and efficient, without any hesitation or slackness.

Li Ze looked at them and nodded to himself.

This must be the team that Ruoran usually leads.

Although Ruoran may be sharp-tongued at times, her ability to get things done is truly undeniable.

The fact that she was able to train a group of young people to this level shows that she is indeed quite skilled in management.

After taking a few sips of tea, Li Ze stood up.

He walked over to the front desk manager.

When the front desk manager saw Li Ze approaching, he immediately stood up respectfully.

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

Li Ze pointed to the tablet computer in the manager's hand and said:

"Show me all the reservations for this period of time."

Without hesitation, the manager immediately brought up the reservation interface on the tablet and handed it to Li Ze with both hands.

Li Ze took the tablet and carefully looked through it.

The bookings above are fully booked.

For the next month starting today, we've been getting several private rooms booked almost every day.

Moreover, many of them are large clients, and their spending amounts are clearly not low.

After Li Ze finished reading, he returned the tablet to the manager.

He looked at the manager and said in a very calm tone:

"Now you can start contacting these customers who have made reservations. Don't change today's reservations; let them come to eat as scheduled. But call me one by one to notify them of the cancellation of all reservations for the next month."

The manager was stunned when she heard this.

She stared at Li Ze with wide eyes, her face full of confusion.

"Boss? Why? These are so many big orders..."

The manager sounded somewhat anxious.

She knew all too well the value of these reservations.

Many of these customers are loyal clients whom we've built up over a long period of time.

Many of these customers are loyal clients whom we've built up over a long period of time.

Some people come here to eat more than ten times a year, and each time they spend more than five figures.

If we cancel the initial contact like this, aren't we just driving customers away?

Seeing the manager's anxious expression, Li Ze smiled.

He said very casually:

"It's okay, just do as I say. Then tell those customers that our store needs to undergo a comprehensive upgrade and renovation for the next month. During this period, they can still shop at other stores under the Taizixuan Group as usual."

Li Ze paused for a moment, then added:

"In addition, we will give each customer who cancels their reservation a compensation of one thousand yuan. This money will come directly from my personal account and will not go through the group's accounts."

After hearing this, the manager still felt very sorry.

But she also knew that the man in front of her was the biggest boss of the entire Taizixuan Group.

The boss said he wanted to cancel, so she had no choice but to comply.

The manager nodded and replied:

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

The manager turned back to the front desk, picked up the phone, and began contacting the customers who had made reservations one by one.

Li Ze turned around and walked back to his booth.

He picked up his teacup and took another sip of tea.

However, he hadn't completely swallowed the tea yet.

A very familiar sound of footsteps quickly approached from the side.

Li Ze looked up.

Sure enough, it was Zhang Ruoran.

Zhang Ruoran walked up to his desk first.

She placed her hands on the table, leaned slightly forward, and her face clearly showed her displeasure.

Zhang Ruoran's voice was very loud:

"Li Ze! Are you kidding me?"

"Do you know how much time and effort we spent building up those clients one by one!"

"I've been working with a few big clients for a full six months! Six months! It was so hard to get them to come to our restaurant. And you just reject them with a single sentence? Isn't that just ridiculous?!"
