Chapter 8: The Gold-Standard Manager, Delivered to the Doorstep

“Ouch… How unlucky.”
Ye Feng wanted to push the drunkard away, but the person was drunk and had poor control over his body. Thus, the 1.8-meter tall man fell onto his body. Furthermore, Ye Feng really couldn’t push him away!
The strong smell of wine assaulted his nose, causing Ye Feng to feel like vomiting.
Ye Feng covered his nose with one hand and pushed the drunkard away with the other. Then, he shouted, “Brother, can you still stand up? If not, can you tell me your family’s contact details? I’ll get them to pick you up!”
“Can I stand up?”
“Yes, yes.”
Although the drunkard was not fully conscious, he still understood Ye Feng’s first sentence and stood up shakily.
Then, Ye Feng managed to break free from the drunkard and quickly dodged to the side.
“Fortunately, I’m in good health. Otherwise, I would have vomited blood from that collision.”
In reality, he had already purposely moved away from the drunkard, but he did not expect the drunkard to suddenly lose his balance and fall down.
This was very awkward. With the drunkard’s weight… Ye Feng could only be grateful that he was standing beside the guardrail, and that Tianda’s guardrails were of good quality.
Even so, his chest still felt somewhat stuffy from the collision.
However, Ye Feng didn’t intend to cause trouble for the drunkard. After all, there was no way to reason with a drunk person. If they fought, Ye Feng would be the one to suffer.
“Where are the Tianda security guards?”
Ye Feng furrowed his eyebrows. He planned to give Xu Tiancheng a call and ask the security officers to handle the drunkard.
However, before he could make the call, the drunkard leaned over.
“Bro… Brother, Sho… shorry.”
The drunkard was slurring his words and couldn’t apologise properly.
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Ye Feng waved his hand and took two steps back.
The smell of alcohol was too strong. It was unbearable to be too close.
“I… ugh… ugh…”
The drunkard still wanted to speak, but he retched twice.
“Rubbish bin… where’s the bin?”
However, this person’s self-control was rather strong. Under such circumstances, he actually didn’t vomit. Instead, he resisted the urge to puke and tried to find a rubbish bin.
However, looking at his miserable appearance, he probably wouldn’t be able to last much longer.
“It’s behind you.”
Ye Feng was afraid that the drunkard would vomit on him, so he hurriedly pointed out where the bin was.
“Thanks… ugh…”
Before the drunkard could finish thanking him, he suddenly turned around and started vomiting into the rubbish bin.
An unpleasant smell wafted over, causing Ye Feng’s stomach to churn.
“What is this…”
Ye Feng hurriedly took a few steps back and quickly called Xu Tiancheng.
After the call ended, the drunkard had also finished vomiting.
After vomiting, the drunkard did not leave. Instead, he leaned against the railing.
“Eh, has this shop been rented out?”
When the drunkard saw that there was someone in the shop opposite him, he instantly let out a soft gasp.
“This location isn’t bad… but it’s not good either!”
Wasn’t this Ye Feng’s own shop?
When Ye Feng heard this, he hurriedly asked nervously, “What’s wrong with it?”
Bang! Bang!
The drunkard patted the rubbish bin twice and said loudly, “Look, there’s a rubbish bin right at the entrance. How can it be good!”
Typical malls would put rubbish bins next to elevators, and Tianda did the same.
Ye Feng looked over. Indeed, the entrance of his shop was facing a rubbish bin.
“I was negligent.”
Ye Feng thought that he had to think of a way to get Xu Tiancheng to move the two rubbish bins elsewhere.
After all, according to what Ye Feng had in mind, there would definitely not be enough tables at Hedilao when it became popular. There would be a queue!
When the customers were waiting for their seats then, they would be in a bad mood if they saw people coming over to spit and smoke…
“This person actually noticed such details when he was drunk. He’s not a simple person. Perhaps…”
Just as Ye Feng was deep in thought, the door opened.
Then, Xu Bin walked out of the door and said, “Boss Ye, I’m done here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
“Okay.”
Ye Feng came back to his senses and was interrupted from his thoughts. Then, he nodded.
“I seem to have forgotten something.”
For some reason, he felt like he had forgotten something.
“Isn’t this Zhao Zhen from Prosperous Flavor? Why is he so drunk?”
At this moment, Xu Bin’s voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
“Prosperous Flavor?”
Ye Feng’s heart skipped a beat as if he had caught onto something. “Are you talking about that hotpot restaurant?”
He pointed to a hotpot restaurant diagonally opposite them that was currently being renovated. It was called Prosperous Flavor.
“That’s right. This is a rather famous hotpot restaurant in the Lihe District. When Boss Ye’s hotpot restaurant opens for business, you’ll have to compete with them.”
Xu Bin replied to him.
“Then… who is this Zhao Zhen?”
Ye Feng was somewhat anxious, and his breathing became hurried.
He finally remembered what he had forgotten.
Xu Bin said, “He’s the Deputy General Manager of Prosperous Flavor. I’ve worked with him several times before, so I recognized him immediately.”
“Yes, that’s it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly.
Yesterday afternoon… he had chosen a gold-standard manager from the multiple-choice question!
“Could this be my gold-standard manager?”
That should be it. Otherwise, why would a drunkard suddenly appear on the third floor of Tianda Plaza by coincidence?
Moreover, the drunkard had happened to collide into him.
Not only did he knock Ye Feng down, he had even solved a hidden danger with just a few words!
Ye Feng hadn’t paid attention to this before, but now that he thought about it, he instantly felt as if everything had been arranged for him.
Ye Feng was amused.
He had a vague impression of the name “Prosperous Flavor”. Furthermore, since Xu Bin had said that it was quite famous, this meant that it was a big hotpot restaurant.
Wasn’t the Deputy General Manager of such a chain hotpot restaurant the gold-standard manager that he had been waiting for?
“But…” Ye Feng was a little worried. “How do I get him to work for me?”
“Would I have to win him over?”
“Why does the Deputy General Manager of a chain hotpot restaurant have to become the manager of my small shop that has yet to open?”
Ye Feng instantly felt a great sense of pressure.
However, he wasn’t discouraged because he had a goal. As long as he put in more effort, there would definitely be a chance!
“This is the manager who has been evaluated as the gold-standard by a mysterious multiple-choice question. I must not miss this opportunity!”
Ye Feng made up his mind. At most, he would use his money to recruit him!
“Perhaps him being drunk this time is an opportunity.”
Just as Ye Feng was thinking about how to convince Zhao Zhen, Xu Bin spoke.
“Boss Ye, you… What’s wrong?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Ye Feng hurriedly explained.
“Oh…”
Xu Bin replied to him with an “oh”. Then, he took out his phone and was about to make a call. “Let me inform the people in their company. If the news that their Deputy General Manager is this drunk gets out, it will not be good for their image.”
“There’s no need for that.”
Ye Feng was shocked and hurriedly said, “Me and Zhao… Zhao Zhen!”
“That’s right. I’m rather close to Zhao Zhen. I’ll take care of him, so you can go ahead.”
“Really?”
Xu Bin looked at the two of them doubtfully and was not quite sure.
“Really!”
Ye Feng hurriedly said, “We’re friends.”
“That’s right… Friends, friends!”
At this moment, Zhao Zhen staggered over and placed a hand on Ye Feng’s body.
“Alright then.”
Upon seeing this, Xu Bin did not say much and could only turn around to leave.
