Yun Ji welcomed Ye Tianlong into the most luxurious wing, and also had a table of the richest meals prepared and served.

While waiting for Hongjian and Di Kuangtian to come over, Ye Tianlong continued the topic:

"The Qiao Mingyue you are talking about is an industry under the Mingyue Group? Is it the Taicheng-owned group?"

Ye Tianlong further confirmed: "Whose CEO is Cai Shuihui?"

Yun Ji was slightly stunned when she heard this, then nodded and replied: "Yes, everything Young Master Ye said is correct, it is the Mingyue Group."

"Qiao Mingyue usually takes care of a woman named Kong Xiaocui. She is a woman who knows how to use tricks."

Ye Tianlong narrowed his eyes: "Kong Xiaocui? Is she the person in charge of Qiao Mingyue?"

Yun Ji nodded lightly: "Yes, I also heard that she is planning to expand Qiao Mingyue in the future, and she will expand according to the opening route of Grassland Restaurant."

She added: "In other words, Qiao Mingyue will fully poach our people in the future."

Ye Tianlong smiled: "Learn from McDonald's?"

"It's far worse than McDonald's. At least they compete with each other, while Qiao Mingyue directly poaches and slanders people."

Yun Ji smiled and asked: "Master Ye, do you have a relationship with Mingyue Group?"

"There was no friendship, but grievances soon emerged."

Ye Tianlong secretly exclaimed that the world is really small, and then looked at Yun Ji and asked: "If one of us is rich, why is he being poached by the other party?"

"How much money does Qiao Mingyue pay to hire a chef? Can't we afford it, or can't we find a better chef?"

He had a hint of curiosity: "Are our salaries too low?"

Although being poached is a very depressing thing, it is also a normal thing in the business world. People go to higher places, and conditions determine everything.

However, Ye Tianlong also knows that for employees, if the other party's conditions are not doubled and their own salary is too low, they will not change jobs randomly.

It’s better to do it raw than to do it cooked.

So Ye Tianlong first looked for the reason himself.

Yun Ji's pretty face showed a hint of grievance, and her red lips parted slightly: "Young Master Ye, our salary is definitely higher than the market price."

"Currently, the monthly salary of executive chefs in five-star hotels is only 30,000 yuan, while the lowest-paid among our eight chefs has a monthly salary of 33,000 yuan."

"We generally work ten hours a day, with six days off and one day off. Various allowances, bonuses, and dividends are calculated separately."

"Compared with the market, our salary is really not low."

She sighed quietly: "And I also checked Qiao Mingyue's salary for poaching employees. It's not much higher, it's only about 20% more than that of Prairie Restaurant."

"Even Qiao Mingyue's welfare is not as good as that of Grassland Restaurant. We provide at least two international trips a year, and we can still bring family members."

Yunji has been busy opening branches in various places recently. This incident in the Beijing restaurant not only disrupted her pace, but also made her feel unworthy of trusting Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong was startled when he heard this: "You changed your job after your second year of high school? The benefits are not as good as ours? Are these chefs crazy?"

Yun Ji smiled bitterly: "I'm also confused. I've asked people to ask them, but no one told them the real reason. They only said that they like Qiao Mingyue's salary."

Ye Tianlong picked up the tea and took a sip: "Even if they are poached, don't we have talent reserves?"

Yun Ji pointed to the dishes that were served slowly: "What we are using now is to reserve talents, but the level is just a bit lower and we can't handle it."

"As for high-paying recruitment, we are doing it now, it just takes a little time."

"After all, there is a shortage of qualified chefs now. Hiring a good chef is equivalent to poaching others."

Yun Ji showed her determination: "But don't worry, Mr. Ye, in a week at most, I can resolve the situation and get the restaurant business back on track."

"I believe in your ability."

Ye Tianlong nodded lightly, put down the tea cup and said: "It's understandable that the other party snatched away the chef, but they can also snatch away our guests?"

"Even if the chef's skills were a little inferior, it would not be possible to end up with only a few tables now."

He added: "You just said the other party was slanderous, what did you mean?"

The Grassland Restaurant is related to his wallet, Ye Tianlong has to care about it, and it is also a gift from Tutuhachi. He cannot let the other party down.

"Ye Shaoyingming."

Yun Ji did not hide anything: "The other party played three tricks. The first trick was to let the chefs appear together to promote that they are the real 'Prairie Restaurant'."

"As a result, many diners who originally liked Prairie Restaurant will go there."

"Secondly, one of the eight chefs, a scum named Liu Qiang, stood up and slandered the grassland restaurant for using gutter oil, and then Qiao Mingyue forwarded it everywhere."

"They formed a public opinion and asked the Health Bureau to get involved. Although nothing was found in the end, our business was severely damaged."

"Third, Qiao Mingyue took the opportunity to show off her chef skills and gave diners who came to dine an opportunity to comment online..."

Yun Ji pursed her seductive red lips and said, "As long as they name three advantages of Qiao Mingyue Restaurant over Prairie Restaurant, they will receive a 10% discount on their purchases that day."

"Although those diners are not short of money, they don't treat money like waste paper. They can save 1,800 by saying a few nice words. Why not?"

Yun Ji exhaled a long breath: "So after this series of attacks, the restaurant in Jingcheng will look like this."

"The people who come to our restaurant to eat now and you see in the lobby are Tutuhaci's old friends and our gold medal customers."

“They are our most loyal customers and our last remaining customers.”

"They know that Prairie Restaurant is in trouble and have seen those slanderous remarks, but they still believe in us and come to support and encourage us."

She sighed softly: "It is their support that maintains the last bit of support in the restaurant."

Ye Tianlong nodded, thinking of the guests at several tables in the hall: "After surviving this crisis, give them a discount card."

"We must show our utmost sincerity to those who provide help in times of need."

Yun Ji responded respectfully: "Understood."

"This pretty Mingyue is playing dirty tricks? Doesn't she know that I am her ancestor?"

Ye Tianlong heard the words and flashed a cold light: "The other party is drawing blood like this. It seems that we can't do it without fighting."

Yun Ji's eyes lit up: "Young Master Ye, do you have a strategy?"

She whispered: "Should we also use some tricks to get rid of them?"

"No need."

Ye Tianlong shook his head: "Prairie Restaurant is a high-end restaurant and a legitimate industry. If it leaves a stain, it will affect its future development."

They used shady means to defeat the other party, not to mention the risk of leakage that would arouse public resentment. Even if it would not be exposed, it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Moreover, it is not enough to attract diners, and there will still be pretty stars even if the moon is gone, so Ye Tianlong plans to improve the grassland restaurant first.

The basis of a packed restaurant is whether the food is delicious or not.

Ye Tianlong looked at the dozen or so dishes in front of him: "We'll talk about it later. Now let me try the food."

Yun Ji nodded immediately: "Understood."

She picked up the knife and fork, cut off small pieces of the roast mutton and other food in front of her, and put them on Ye Tianlong's plate.

Although Ye Tianlong was a little hungry, he still picked up his chopsticks and tasted slowly. After eating four or five dishes, he tilted his head towards Yun Ji:

"Bring me some sauce."

Yun Ji slapped her head and forgot to bring the sauces from the restaurant, so she quickly brought four or five kinds of sauces from the other end.

Ye Tianlong picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in some sauce and put it into his mouth. After chewing it and swallowing it, he tasted the remaining dozen dishes.

"The taste is not bad, a bit better than ordinary restaurants, but the taste is not worthy of the price."

Ye Tianlong put his chopsticks on the table: "Compared with the previous chefs, this batch is really inferior."

The dish in front of him costs 18,000 yuan according to the restaurant, but Ye Tianlong thinks it is only worth 3,000 yuan, which is also the reason why the diners don't come.

Yun Ji sighed: "Yes, this is a fact, but it can't be changed for the time being. We can only hold on for a while."

“The food tastes a little bit different, but you can add sauce to make it better.”

Ye Tianlong suddenly remembered something, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Let's go, take me to the kitchen..."
