Ling Zhenfei got a rough understanding of the situation; it seemed like he needed to make a trip to Modu.

Ling Zhenfei pulled out his phone and called Jiang Hui.

The call connected quickly, and Jiang Hui's somewhat shocked voice came through: "Ling Zhenfei, you finally showed up. Why couldn't I ever reach you? Do you know how many times I tried to call you?"

"I just got back from abroad. What's up? Is there something you need from me?"

Jiang Hui said: "Nothing major, just that the restaurant is about to open. Shouldn't you, the big boss, attend the opening ceremony?"

"When's the opening?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Jiang Hui said: "It's scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Can you make it?"

Ling Zhenfei calculated the time and said: "The day after tomorrow should be fine."

Jiang Hui said: "Don't just say it should be fine. I've already bought your ticket in advance. You know it's New Year now, and tickets are hard to get."

Jiang Hui still maintained her supportive stance, arranging everything for Ling Zhenfei.

"Alright, just let me know when you've got the tickets."

After they ended the call, Ling Zhenfei immediately dialed his sister-in-law Zhou Yun.

Although he still called her sister-in-law, everything that should have happened between them had already happened. Not long after the call, Zhou Yun picked up.

"Hey Zhenfei, you're back?"

When he went to Japan, Ling Zhenfei had told them in advance, so when she saw his call, she knew he was back.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I'm back. How's everything going?"

Zhou Yun happily said: "Good, of course. How about you? All good?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "I'm all good, just missed you a bit."

Zhou Yun said: "You little rascal, I don't believe you. You surely aren't short of girls around you. It's good enough you didn't bring back one or two Japanese girls for me."

Ling Zhenfei was caught off guard, thinking how Zhou Yun knew him so well. If it weren't for Hoshino Junka being busy, she would've been right.

"Sister-in-law, listen to you. How am I such a player? I came back alone, seriously."

"You're serious? Never mind, it's good that you're back. When are you coming home?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "The restaurant in Modu is opening, I have to go tomorrow, but don't worry, I'll definitely be back for New Year."

Zhou Yun responded with a hmm and said: "Then I'll wait for you at home."

After exchanging some whispered words, they ended the call. Since they broke that barrier, many things they couldn't say before could now be discussed freely.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and then immediately called Chen Qian, who also answered swiftly.

"Boss Ling, you've returned from Japan."

"Yes, President Chen, I just got back."

Chen Qian laughed and said: "So, did you bring back a few island nation girls from Japan?"

"I wish, but they didn't want to come with me."

"I don't believe it. Maybe the girls clung to your legs wanting to come, but you didn't agree."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Don't make things up. Am I that kind of person? If a girl really wanted to come, I'd carry her back if I had to."

Chen Qian said: "Alright, I won't joke around. It's lucky you're back, there are a few things I need to report."

"Go ahead."

Chen Qian said: "Here's the thing, the holiday resort is fully completed. I'm planning to open on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I'll leave the promotional work to you. Just a Weibo post from you and it's news."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Opening on New Year's Day, what attractions, activities, or promotional points are there?"

Chen Qian said: "You've stayed here long enough, don't you know? Observe the snow scenery in winter, enjoy the snow land hot springs, the open-air ice rink, and have a unique experience."

Indeed, as Chen Qian said, because it's near Xianling Mountain, the scenery of Qinghe Village after winter snowfall is truly remarkable. Who knows how the underwater house looks like, living beneath the ice surface must be an interesting experience.

"Alright then, I'll handle the promotional stuff. Send me some photos too; having photos is more convincing."

"Rest assured, they're already prepared, just waiting for you, the living news media."

"Anything else you'd like to discuss?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Chen Qian said: "Our livestock base construction has stopped. Winter is too cold and the work can't be done after the snow, but the winery is running well, still in production."

"Winery?" Ling Zhenfei was slightly puzzled; he didn't even know he had a winery.

"Yes, it's the one making the Hundred Flowers Drunk you like. Didn't I mention it before you left? A small factory producing a little grain liquor. Hundred Flowers Drunk can't be produced now, only grain liquor."

"How's the taste?" Ling Zhenfei was quite curious.

"Fairly average, without good aging, the liquor is just okay."

"Alright, keep it running. If it doesn't work out, treat it as employee benefits. By the way, are the New Year's bonuses and village dividends ready?"

Chen Qian said: "That's really your sister-in-law's area, but I've discussed it with her. Everything's prepared. We talked about it yesterday."

It's a relief that everything was handled in his absence without any trouble.

After hanging up with Chen Qian, Ling Zhenfei said goodbye to Luo Juan.

"Boss Ling, it's almost noon. How about I treat you to lunch?" Luo Juan said with a smile.

"You're the employee, I'm the boss. If you treat me, is that okay?" Ling Zhenfei teased Luo Juan.

"What's wrong with that? I'm just looking to bribe the boss a bit." Luo Juan no longer considered herself an outsider.

The reason Luo Juan was doing so well was because of Ling Zhenfei's support.

In the past, she couldn't do anything well, eventually just becoming a small agency. Now, she's a well-known career woman in the Provincial City.

Her dress and demeanor were different now, exuding the elegant aura of a career woman, something she never had before.

"Let's skip it. I'll probably make a lot of calls today. If you treated me to food, you'd just watch me call the entire time. I need some privacy, okay?" Ling Zhenfei laughed.

Luo Juan said: "Boss Ling, just how many secrets do you have?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "A secret is a secret, so I can't tell you. I'm heading out first."

Ling Zhenfei walked out of Xi Shan Restaurant, unsure of where to head next, but knowing he had many calls to make.

First, he called Yang Zixuan to ask about Xi Shan Restaurant's status, revenue, and customer flow.

Most importantly, the staff's weekly meeting was crucial to maintaining strict work discipline.

The employees at Xi Shan Restaurant received top industry salaries, had short working hours, and long vacations, leading many attractive women to flock there looking for opportunities.

However, Xi Shan Restaurant was quite strict. Cumulative mistakes could lead to dismissal.

Yet, those who performed well received rewards, such as promotions. Three branches of Xi Shan Restaurant were about to open, so many would be promoted.
