Chapter 389: Cafeteria Conversation

"Hmm, it looks very good so far. It's the effect we wanted to present." Wang Bin nodded and said.

"That's good." Luo Xiao nodded, and the two entered the elevator together.

In the elevator, they happened to run into General Manager Wei, Li Shen, and a few others coming down from upstairs.

Entering Tomorrow Cafeteria, the Group got their food and found an empty table to sit at.

"I heard that in the past two days, many employees from other companies have wanted to come to Tomorrow Cafeteria to eat?" Wei Yan said casually, looking at the delicious food on his tray.

"I heard there is such a thing; some people even want to pay to get in and buy food." Zhao Bowen took a bite of rice, then followed it up by gnawing on a chicken leg.

"I know about this. It was an employee in the Group who took a photo of the cafeteria's daily meals, made a one-month meal schedule, and then sent it to the short video platform.

"The next day, that meal schedule went viral, and some people in the same city found out about it too."

After swallowing the large shrimp in his mouth, Wu Yu smiled and said.

He was very clear about this matter because that employee was from Boring Short Videos.

That employee was certainly bored enough; for the six dishes every day, he actually prepared six plates, served the food into them, staged a photo shoot, and finally took a close-up photo of every single dish.

Just like that, he did it for a whole month, finally made a compilation, and posted it to the short video platform.

And the short video was made very carefully; on each set of photos, even the date was marked.

"So that's how it is." The others smiled one after another after hearing Wu Yu's explanation.

They knew better than anyone about the food at Tomorrow Cafeteria.

With high-quality ingredients, plus the cafeteria chefs who were all star-rated chefs poached from star-rated hotels, how could the food not be delicious?

Unfortunately, General Manager Chen had already issued an order.

Tomorrow Cafeteria is never open to the public; even if you want to pay to buy food, it's not allowed.

For those people who really want to eat the food at Tomorrow Cafeteria, there is only one way.

That is to join Mingri Group and become an employee of Mingri Group.

The company managers all wore expressions of pride.

After the discussion about the cafeteria ended, Luo Xiao's gaze fell on Wei Yan.

"General Manager Wei, General Manager Chen has arranged a new industry for me, but I feel like this industry doesn't seem profitable. Could you take a look and see what's going on?"

"Tell me about it?" Wei Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked up at Luo Xiao.

Since it concerned a new industry, he naturally had to pay more attention.

"It's like this…" Luo Xiao briefly recounted the matter of the senior song and dance troupe.

Listening to Luo Xiao's narration, Wei Yan lowered his head and gradually fell into deep thought. The others at the table also began to speculate on what General Manager Chen's intention was in establishing the senior song and dance troupe.

After a while, Wei Yan gradually came back to his senses and looked up at Luo Xiao.

"The matter of General Manager Chen establishing this senior song and dance troupe has a large component of charity in it.

After all, if he really wanted to establish a good senior song and dance troupe, he could completely find some elderly people with dancing or singing skills.

But General Manager Chen didn't do that; instead, he placed the selection of the elderly on those who were brought in, which is undoubtedly doing charity."

Listening to Wei Yan's analysis, Luo Xiao was somewhat enlightened, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"So that's how it is. General Manager Chen established this senior song and dance troupe purely for charity and didn't have any intention of making a profit."

"Not necessarily!" Wei Yan shook his head.

"It is true that General Manager Chen is doing charity, but it doesn't mean he doesn't want to make a profit. What General Manager Chen wants is to be able to make a profit while doing charity; this is the true win-win situation.

Otherwise, General Manager Chen wouldn't have asked you to hire professional instructors and then select elderly people who meet the requirements of the song and dance troupe.

This shows that General Manager Chen still wants the senior song and dance troupe to possess a certain level of professional capability so they can go out and perform.

If he really wanted to just do charity, he could have completely recruited those elderly people into the senior song and dance troupe and just let them have a title; there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Therefore, General Manager Chen still hopes that this senior song and dance troupe can bring profit points to the Group."

Wei Yan stated all of his conjectures.

"But if he wants to make a profit, how should this senior song and dance troupe go about it?

How many people would actually go to watch a performance by seniors? Even if we put on a show, I doubt many people would be willing to buy tickets to watch it."

Luo Xiao was a bit distressed. He was just a director; he was still very lacking in these kinds of business management matters.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan also fell silent. Making a senior song and dance troupe profitable—the only thing he could think of at the moment was performances. But as Luo Xiao said, how many people would actually want to watch a performance by seniors?

"I heard before that there are competitions for senior song and dance troupes. I think we could try participating in competitions. As long as the troupe's professionalism improves, we win a ranking in the competition, and once the name gets out there…

At that time, if we hold song and dance performances, there should be many audience members watching, right?" Li Shen, who was sitting on the side, suggested.

Luo Xiao thought about it after hearing this, and finally nodded slowly.

"That is indeed an idea; we can give it a try."

He had absolutely no ideas for this senior song and dance troupe. Although he didn't know how the result would turn out, the method Li Shen provided was at least a direction to work towards.

Moreover, the senior song and dance troupe hadn't even been established yet, so thinking so much was useless.

Right now, he still needed to first find a person in charge who could manage the senior song and dance troupe, and then hand over the management of the troupe to them.

His own focus still needed to be placed on the preparation of the new movie.

…

Linshui City, Normal University student dormitory.

Yang Yaoyao looked at the barrage in the Livestream room and smiled as she spoke.

"Auntie Wang, based on your child's current learning progress, buying two volumes of practice exercises is enough. Buying ten exercise books will only increase the child's pressure."

"Auntie Li, your child is only in the third grade, and you're buying fifth-grade practice exercises? That's too advanced!"

"Trying to study in the Livestream room, learning and doing exercises at the same time—that's not very good. It's better to give the child some free space; you can't push them too hard in their studies."

"Uncle Li, this place only livestreams mathematics now. You can check other Livestream rooms for English."

"It's eight o'clock. If everyone doesn't have any more questions, I'm ending the stream."

Yang Yaoyao looked at the barrage in the Livestream room, and seeing that no one asked any more questions, she directly turned off the stream.

"Yaoyao, four more people accepted the promotional task today. In this way, the spread speed of Boring Short Videos will be even faster. We are one step closer to raising our livestream remuneration to the third tier!"

Just after turning off her stream, Liu Weiwei also turned off hers and ran over with an excited look on her face.

"That's a good thing!" Yang Yaoyao was also somewhat happy. If they could reach the third tier, it would naturally be a good thing.

"Hehe, it's only eight o'clock now, let's go out to celebrate…" Liu Weiwei had only said half of her sentence when her phone rang.

She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was actually a call from Boring Short Videos, so she hurriedly answered the phone.
