Chapter 244: Chapter 146: Not Enough Legs to Go Around
Unlike someone like Liu Zheng, who was recruited directly by Qi Sheng.
Before his promotion, Peng Qingsong was only at the Elite Level.
Fiercely loyal to Qi Sheng, Peng Qingsong instinctively wanted to step down and yield his position to someone more capable.
"Liu Zheng is very capable, but you’re no slouch either."
"You need to believe in yourself. I’m waiting for the day you become a Master Level designer!"
Qi Sheng patted Peng Qingsong’s shoulder.
He had a soft spot for these old-timers who had followed him from the beginning.
’What are the rewards of backing the right horse? Peng Qingsong will soon find out.’
Without the system’s help, he would still just be an Elite Level designer.
A far cry from the level of a design director.
But Peng Qingsong was just plain lucky.
Becoming a Master Level designer in the future was just around the corner.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Peng Qingsong was so moved by Qi Sheng’s trust that his eyes turned red.
"The flagship store in Taikoo Li is just a special case.
For the upcoming branch renovations, you must develop a standardized model.
We need to get customers accustomed to our brand image."
It was true that Qi Sheng had money.
But it wasn’t feasible to spend over twenty million on renovations for every single store.
Based on Spicy King’s store size of 1,500 square meters.
A renovation budget of 6 million was already quite extravagant.
For 20 branches, the renovation costs alone would come to 120 million.
If Qi Sheng didn’t assign more staff to Peng Qingsong,
he could only watch as this massive project slipped through his fingers.
"Okay, I’ll communicate closely with Liu Zheng."
Peng Qingsong was thoroughly convinced of Liu Zheng’s design skills.
’Combining both of their inspirations should be enough to not disappoint the boss.’
"Besides the Spicy King stores, Zhuangyu is opening a Zifei branch at Luhu Lake next. You’ll need to put your best effort into designing that one as well."
"In the future, Zifei and Yu Tu will also be opening stores in first and second-tier cities. Add in the Spicy King branches, and you guys are going to be busy."
Qi Sheng was fully confident that Spicy King would be a huge hit.
’I just wonder when the system will apply that buff.’
’So it also covers the Zifei and Yu Tu stores.’
A +100% bonus to Deliciousness would be a massive help for high-end restaurants like those.
Even dishes made by Expert Level chefs would taste no different from those made by Master Level chefs.
This was equivalent to saving him a huge amount in talent recruitment costs.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was worth hundreds of millions.
"That’s fantastic. The business from our sister companies alone is more than enough to keep us swamped."
Peng Qingsong said with a smile, "By the way, President Xu from Langyu Decoration came looking for you a while ago. He left when he saw you weren’t here. He’s probably very envious of our Spicy King branch renovation business."
"Business is business. Since we’re capable of handling the renovations ourselves, there’s no need to farm it out."
Qi Sheng was quite calm upon hearing this news.
He didn’t have much of a relationship with Xu Qinghui to begin with.
Back then, he had needed Langyu Decoration’s help to complete the Taikoo Li store’s renovation.
Now, Shengxuan Decoration’s strength on paper wasn’t that far behind Langyu Decoration’s.
On the business operations side, he had a professional manager in Jian Zhenzhe.
Whether it was daily management or business negotiations, Qi Sheng had complete confidence in him.
In terms of design, he had two design director-level, Expert Level talents, Peng Qingsong and Liu Zheng, holding down the fort.
Under them, there were also ten Elite Designers.
They could handle any ordinary renovation project with ease.
You could say that the skeleton of Shengxuan Decoration was already in place.
All that was left was to slowly flesh it out.
Surpassing Langyu Decoration was only a matter of time.
...
After chatting with Peng Qingsong for a while,
Qi Sheng returned to the property management floor with the three women.
"Hello, Boss."
Along the way, employees stood up and greeted the big boss when they saw him.
After all, Qi Sheng had just given everyone a 10% raise.
Now, everyone was wholeheartedly striving toward the goal of becoming a super Grade-A office building.
The investment promotion department, in particular, was getting so many calls their phones were about to explode.
Whoever could land the next heavyweight client was guaranteed a hefty commission.
"Boss."
Liu Shiwen and Tang Qian were slacking off, but when they saw Qi Sheng appear, they jumped up in pleasant surprise to greet him.
"Boss, who are these two ladies?"
Liu Shiwen had been to Qi Sheng’s birthday party, so of course she was familiar with Xue Zhongyun.
They were also both in the "We Are a Big, Loving Family" group chat.
But this was the first time she had seen Chen Jing and Liu Rong.
"Let’s talk inside."
Qi Sheng glanced at the employees silently gossiping not far away and naturally didn’t want to discuss his private life in front of them.
"Oh, okay."
Liu Shiwen immediately shut her mouth and obediently led the way.
You had to admit, these two former flight attendants-turned-secretaries really had a certain charm.
Liu Shiwen was wearing a white Chanel blazer.
Paired with a matching white pencil skirt.
As a former flight attendant, Liu Shiwen’s figure was, needless to say, fantastic.
Beneath the pencil skirt, her plump, shapely legs were clad in nude-colored stockings that shimmered with an alluring sheen.
She wore a pair of white Valentino Rockstud heels.
’Clearly to cater to her big boss Qi Sheng’s little quirk.’
In contrast to her all-white outfit, Tang Qian wore a classic black skirt suit with black stockings.
Her legs were also wrapped in black stockings, paired with matching red-soled high heels.
As for Qi Sheng’s two secretaries,
was there a single male employee in the entire property management office who wasn’t envious?
But envy was one thing; not a single idiot dared to rashly hit on them.
Otherwise, they’d lose their job in a heartbeat.
...
「Chairman’s Office.」
Even the slightly more worldly Xue Zhongyun had never been to a place like this.
"Have a seat anywhere. Qianqian, go make some tea."
Qi Sheng sat down on the sofa and patted Tang Qian’s black pencil skirt.
