Win-win

"Feel free to go ahead, you don't need to wait for me."

Mei Yun nodded with a smile, guessing in his heart that these workers probably didn't feel very comfortable walking alongside him.

"Then, General Manager Mei, we'll head off first."

After saying this, the few workers quickly ran off.

Huh!

Mei Yun stared at this scene, stunned. Running to get food? He remembered this situation only happening back when he was in school, when he would rush out of the classroom the moment class ended to run to the cafeteria just to avoid waiting in line.

But surely that wasn't necessary at a construction site.

Mei Yun was puzzled. As he continued to approach the cafeteria, he saw even more construction workers running quickly toward it.

Were these people that hungry?

Mei Yun watched this scene in a daze. Previously, he had basically spent his mornings handling affairs at the company and only came over to check on the construction progress in the afternoon.

Therefore, he didn't really know much about the lunch situation here.

"Hurry up! Our building is the furthest from the cafeteria; we're at such a disadvantage."

"It's no use; there definitely won't be any braised pork left today."

"Forget about the braised pork; I didn't even get to eat any chicken drumsticks yesterday."

"I saw one guy dish out seven chicken drumsticks for himself."

"…"

From time to time, employees would run past, and sometimes snippets of conversation would drift over.

braised pork, chicken drumsticks, unable to eat because it was too far away.

Listening to the conversation of the few people who ran past, Mei Yun finally understood why these employees were running. It was because if they went late, all the good food would be taken by other workers.

About a few minutes later, Mei Yun also arrived at the construction site cafeteria and found that all the workers had already served their food. After observing carefully, he discovered that some people's trays were indeed filled entirely with braised pork, with no other dishes.

Some people's trays didn't have a single piece of braised pork; it seemed those were the ones who arrived late.

This wouldn't do!

General Manager Chen had arranged such good food for the sake of all the workers, so this uneven distribution of food needed to be properly managed.

"Hello, General Manager Mei!"

"Hello, General Manager Mei!"

"…"

Some of the eating workers saw Mei Yun enter and greeted him one after another.

"Mm, go ahead and eat."

Mei Yun nodded, looked around, and found the person in charge of the cafeteria.

"Hello, General Manager Mei!"

The person in charge of the cafeteria greeted him.

"Mm, I just took a look, and the food distribution for the workers is currently quite uneven. This won't do."

Mei Yun looked at the cafeteria manager and frowned as he spoke.

"General Manager Mei, there's nothing I can do about this. These people serve themselves, and we can't stop them."

"Then why don't you serve it for them?"

"We've tried that too, but we don't know everyone's appetite. If we serve by a single standard, some people won't get enough to eat, but if we serve too much, others won't be able to finish it. Besides, everyone wants more of the good dishes. If we give them extra, then the people at the back still end up with nothing."

The cafeteria manager said with some helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Mei Yun pondered for a moment and finally spoke slowly.

"How about this: there are currently nine buildings under construction (one of which is the community clubhouse). So, divide the current dishes into nine portions. Each building's workers will be assigned one portion. This way, it will be easier to distribute. Also, increase the amount of dishes like braised pork. These workers are doing manual labor, so they will definitely have big appetites."

"Understood, General Manager Mei."

The cafeteria manager nodded in agreement.

Mei Yun nodded. Seeing that there wasn't much food left, he took a tray, served himself some of what was left, and found a place to eat.

"General Manager Mei, why don't I stir-fry a few dishes for you?"

The cafeteria manager hurriedly said when he saw Mei Yun only serving himself the leftovers.

"It's fine, I'm good with this. You go ahead and get busy with your work."

Mei Yun waved his hand.

He had only been eating for a little while when his phone on the table rang.

He picked up the call.

"Hello!"

A voice quickly came through the phone.

"I am Chen Cong. General Manager Wei Yan should have mentioned me to you, right?"

"Oh, it's General Manager Chen. General Manager Wei did call me and said you were planning to buy our property."

"That's right. I want to buy four apartments in total, and I've already chosen the floors. I hope you can reserve them for me when they go on sale. Since it's a reservation, I'm willing to pay a bit more."

"Four apartments? That shouldn't be a problem. However, you know that many people from our Group have already booked apartments in General Manager Chen's property. As long as the floors you've chosen don't clash with theirs, it won't be an issue."

"That's fine, no problem."

"That's good. By the way, did General Manager Wei speak to you about the renovation?"

"Yes, he did. I've already contacted Wang Yang, and he will help with the design."

"Mm, then there's no problem. I'll send you the list of apartments that have already been booked later. You can check if there are any conflicts."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Mei Yun shook his head with a smile. He had been worried before that General Manager Chen's property…

Kyoto, Tiange Game Club.

Chen Cong hung up the phone and looked up at Du Ziteng.

"The communication is done. General Manager Mei will send us the apartments that haven't been booked yet, and I can choose from those."

"That's good!"

Du Ziteng nodded. He and Chen Cong had learned about the situation regarding General Manager Chen's property from Yao Beiguo, and they also knew about General Manager Chen's quality requirements for those properties. Plus, with their understanding of General Manager Chen, he absolutely wouldn't cut corners on the property.

Therefore, they were very confident in General Manager Chen's property. Buying it now would be perfect for when they eventually move to Jiangcheng to live in.

Moreover, under General Manager Chen's development, that area would definitely get better and better in the future. It would be a great place to retire when they get old, especially since it's only a 15-minute drive from General Manager Chen's property to the Pet Park.

"Then the only thing left is to discuss the renovation design with Wang Yang."

"Exactly!"

Chen Cong nodded, a joyful expression appearing on his face.

With the conclusion of the official Extreme Survival tournament, their Tiange Club had won the championship, and as a result, gained a large number of fans.

Today, the official Weibo account of the Tiange Game Club already had over 3 million followers, and it was still growing.

Having developed to this point, their Tiange Club could be considered to have firmly established itself.

Nowadays, all kinds of business endorsements had come looking for them, and their income had skyrocketed as a result.

Furthermore, there was the sale of team uniforms. They had ordered 1 million sets of team uniforms from the Garment factory.

At the very beginning, they only ordered 400,000 sets, but to their surprise, within one day of pre-sales, those 400,000 sets of uniforms were completely sold out.

They immediately ordered another 600,000 uniforms. Currently, over 800,000 sets had already been pre-ordered in the marketplace, and the number of pre-orders was still increasing every day.

Selling out 1 million sets of uniforms was just a matter of time.

For them, the Tiange Club, and the Garment factory, this was undoubtedly a win-win situation.
