Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Two questions immediately shut Cheng Ye up, leaving his prepared explanation stuck in his throat: 500 companies within three years?!

This was no easy task; it was extremely difficult. However, Cheng Ye believed he had climbed his way up from the bottom, and he had endured all kinds of hardships. He would not back down when faced with a challenge.

In his youth, in order to expand the market, he didn't take a vacation for six months straight and didn't sleep through the night. He led his team to win first place in various regions many times.

He was capable in the past, and he is even more capable now. Thinking this to himself, his expression became even more resolute. "President Chu, I am confident that I can lead the team to expand Burger King to 500 stores within three years."

"Before the interview, I analyzed Burger King's products, brand, operations, pricing, and marketing, and I believe..."

……

……

"I was once in charge of market research and analysis in the core business districts of Shenzhen. Through accurate consumer insights and competitor research, I successfully selected several highly promising store locations, and the new stores that were opened achieved rapid growth in performance in a short period of time."

……

……

"In terms of team management, I am good at building efficient, loyal and cohesive teams. The teams I led once successfully expanded into the markets of multiple cities within a year, with the number of new stores exceeding the target by 20%. These stores have maintained a good development trend in subsequent operations."

"I have a clear vision and strategy for Burger King's nationwide chain expansion plan. I will also make full use of my network of contacts in the industry and actively expand partnerships to create a favorable external environment for the brand's expansion."

"I believe that with my professional skills and rich experience, I can definitely become a valuable assistant to you in expanding your market and help Burger King rise rapidly across the country. I hope I can have this opportunity to join your team and create a brilliant future together!"

As Cheng Ye tried his best to express his views, Chu Yu would occasionally chime in. After a few exchanges, they found that the two got along quite well.

Regarding market trends and some issues within the industry, the two shared similar views. Cheng Ye became increasingly excited as he spoke, feeling that he had met a boss whose thoughts aligned with his own.

Before they knew it, the two had talked for a long time, and Cheng Ye showed Chu Yu all his strengths. By the end, his mouth was dry.

But at that moment, he couldn't care less about any of that; his heart was filled with excitement, exhilaration, and nervousness.

Looking at Cheng Ye, who was speaking eloquently, confidently, and sincerely, Chu Yu smiled and nodded, raising an eyebrow at the teacup on the table. "After talking for so long, have some water first."

"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Cheng Ye didn't stand on ceremony any longer and picked up his glass to drink a few mouthfuls of water.

Then he solemnly said, "You asked me about my expected salary. Before, at McDonald's, my basic salary plus various bonuses amounted to about 120 million a year. If you can give me a chance to prove myself, I am willing to take a 20% pay cut. Once I have achieved results, I believe my salary will return to a level that matches my contributions."

Chu Yu's expression didn't change after hearing his words, leaving Cheng Ye completely unsure of what he was thinking—whether it would work or not!

However, Chu Yu didn't keep him waiting for long. He smiled, sat up straight, and extended his hand to Cheng Ye. "Okay, I like people who are confident and driven. Qianwei and Burger King welcome you to join us."

"It's done!" Cheng Ye grasped Chu Yu's outstretched hand, shaking it slightly, and looked at him gratefully. "Thank you so much, President Chu, for giving me this valuable opportunity. I will do my best to live up to your trust and expectations."

Chu Yu smiled and patted his hand. "Work hard. The company will rely on you for market expansion in the future. As long as you can achieve outstanding results, the company and I will never treat you unfairly. An annual salary of one million is nothing. A monthly salary of one million is your goal."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise and shock flashed in Cheng Ye's eyes, which then became even more determined and fervent.

I'd vaguely heard before that Qianwei offered high salaries and good benefits, and it seems it's true. "President Chu, since you value me so much, I will definitely work tirelessly to lead the team and make our Burger King stores spread throughout China, becoming the undisputed leader in the industry!"

"Haha, great! When can I start work?"

"Anytime is fine. I can start working right now and get to work immediately."

"Efficient! Excellent! Contact Xin Ci directly to complete the onboarding process in a moment."

"Thank you, Mr. Chu! Thank you!"

……

The company's organizational structure has been optimized, and all department heads and employees have been assigned. The general direction for development has been set.

Next, everyone should work together with one heart and one mind, striving towards the goal.

Chu Yu's company is developing smoothly and expanding continuously, while Ming Xi's side has gained a lot of attention because of the last incident.

In addition, Wang the Bald suddenly became particularly attentive to him and gave him a lot of resources.

Although these aren't high-end resources, Mingxi is no longer some low-level nobody. He doesn't need to spend money for marketing accounts to actively publish news about him.

This made Mingxi proudly refer to him as a "career-oriented leading man" in front of Chu Yu more than once.

That day, Chu Yu looked at Ming Xi, who was lying on a massage chair and shopping with great enthusiasm. He thought about how the "career-oriented male lead" seemed to be very busy lately and had often complained to him about how hard he was working.

Do you have work the day after tomorrow?

"No, I don't have any schedule for the next two weeks," Mingxi replied casually.

Suddenly realizing what she was doing, she tilted her head back, her eyes shining as she looked at Chu Yu, "Are you taking me out to play the day after tomorrow? Or is there some kind of activity?"

Chu Yu walked to his side, looked up at Ming Xi who was gazing at him expectantly, and pinched his cheek. "A private yacht party, going out to sea for a spin, do you want to go?"

"A private yacht? I want to go! I've never been on a private yacht except when I'm filming." Mingxi grabbed the big hand that was pinching her cheek, put it to her mouth and bit it. He always liked to pinch her cheek, it was so annoying.

"Brother Chu, who organized this? Who's participating?"

"It's organized by my cousin's friend. I don't know them, so this is a good opportunity to get to know them. There won't be too many people participating, just a few. It'll be a two-day, one-night relaxing trip."

The person who organized this gathering was Feng Hesong, the sixth son of the chairman of Beizhou Agricultural Group. Chu Yu decided to attend the gathering in order to get to know him.

"Two days and one night? Clothes, shoes, swimsuit, swim cap, goggles, sun protection clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen... I need to hurry up and pack."

Mingxi counted on her fingers as she jumped up from the massage chair and ran towards the dressing room.

Chu Yu watched his cheerful figure disappear into the distance, smiled helplessly, then sat down on the sofa and called Zhao Haiting back.

"Hey! Cousin, what's up?"

"I'll bring Mingxi to the event the day after tomorrow."

"Bringing him along again! I was thinking of letting you try something new! You two have been together for about a year, haven't you?"

"One year, one month, and three days."

"Holy crap! That's so accurate, you're a freak!" Zhao Haiting felt goosebumps rising on his skin. How could a grown man remember such a day so clearly, with such incredible precision?

Is Mingxi some kind of fox spirit in disguise? She's completely bewitched her cousin.

Chu Yu said speechlessly, "It's not what you think. We just celebrated our one-year and one-month anniversary two days ago. My memory isn't so bad that I would forget it after just two days."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haiting was even more furious. "A one-year and one-month anniversary? Don't tell me you two celebrate it every month?!"

"Hmm." Chu Yu hummed in response and said nothing more.

Mingxi is a person with a strong sense of ritual. She celebrates an anniversary every month, saying that the days of love are worth commemorating and celebrating every month.

"Hahahaha! What a talent! He makes it every month!"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Great! Hahahaha!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yu thought that Zhao Haiting definitely hadn't paid attention to Mingxi's WeChat Moments.

On every month's anniversary, he posts pictures of lavish meals and gifts on his WeChat Moments.

No, in Mingxi's words, he's showing off his happiness!
