Chapter 127: Chapter 127 What Other Identity Is There_1

During the wait, everyone chatted idly.

"Mr. Shen, now that Shuidilao is so popular, when are you going to introduce Shuidilao to Jing City? If you do, we won’t have to travel all the way to Hai City for hotpot," Wu Jin asked.

"It’s in the plans, and I believe it will happen very soon," Shen Dong said.

This wasn’t just talk; he had already tasked Chen Yuanxiang with sending people to scout for suitable locations in several other major cities.

"Mr. Shen, every move you make amazes us. Your strength is truly unfathomable," Han Deming remarked with a sigh.

The others nodded in earnest agreement.

Initially, they had thought that Shen Dong was just a rich second generation who had started a guild.

Later, they learned that Shen Dong was the owner of Shuidilao.

A few days before, they found out about his deep relationship with Xu Caijun.

Every move he made had shocked them greatly.

Shen Dong’s strength was so deep and unpredictable, they couldn’t fathom what else he might have up his sleeve.

"Mr. Han, you flatter me too much. I’m just an ordinary person," Shen Dong said.

"Ordinary person?" The investors’ mouths twitched.

Could an ordinary person make a streaming guild the number one on Doule?

Could they take over a hotpot restaurant and create a nationwide sensation like Shuidilao?

Could they boldly invest twenty million in "The Battle Tiger"?

Could they make a single phone call and get Xu Caijun to accept an invitation to the premiere of "The Battle Tiger"?

"Mr. Han, you really are too modest," Han Deming said with a bitter smile.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Ma from Shen City often says he comes from an ordinary family. Mr. Shen must be that kind of person," Du Zhenqi shook his head and said with a wry smile.

The investors all nodded in heartfelt agreement.

"Mr. Shen, ’The Battle Tiger’ is about to be released. Do you think you could have the streamers from your guild promote it a bit?" Wu Jin asked hopefully.

The top streamers from the Dongyan Guild were now incredibly popular.

Shuidilao’s rapid nationwide success owed much to the promotion by Dongyan Guild’s streamers.

Otherwise, no matter how good Shuidilao’s service was, it wouldn’t have become so popular so fast.

If the Dongyan Guild’s streamers could promote "The Battle Tiger," there would be no worries about the promotion.

Of course, there was a distributor to promote "The Battle Tiger."

But in his view, the distributor’s promotion couldn’t compare to the promotion by Dongyan Guild’s streamers.

"Mr. Wu, don’t worry, even if you didn’t ask, I would still have the streamers under Dongyan Guild promote it since I’ve invested in ’The Battle Tiger,’" Shen Dong replied.

The information from the system stated that the box office for "The Battle Tiger" would be five hundred million, and that was based on normal shooting conditions.

Shen Dong had invested twenty million, and Wu Jin said it could produce the desired results.

With the addition of the streamers’ promotion, the box office might exceed five hundred million.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen," Wu Jin said, delighted.

As they talked, a middle-aged man in a jacket approached.

Seeing the man, Du Zhenqi immediately went to greet him, smiling broadly and reaching out his hand, "Mr. Xu, you’ve arrived. It’s been a while."

"Mr. Du, it’s been a long time." Xu Caijun shook hands with Chen Yuanxiang, not saying much.

Then he came up to Shen Dong, full of apologies as he explained, "Mr. Shen, I’m sorry for making you wait, I got stuck in traffic on the way here."

He was the boss of Qianda Cinemas Chain, a big name in the film industry, but he was still an employee.

Shen Dong was a shareholder of Qianda Film and Television; their statuses were different.

Making Shen Dong wait for him, Xu Caijun felt somewhat uneasy.

If Shen Dong got angry, Xu’s days would not be easy.

Seeing Xu Caijun behave like this, Wu Jin and the others exchanged glances, all reading shock in each other’s eyes.

Originally, they thought at most Shen Dong knew Xu Caijun and had some connections; getting Xu Caijun to come was not easy at all.

After all, Xu Caijun was the head of Qianda Cinemas Chain, backed by Qianda Film and Television and Qianda Group.

Even if Shen Dong had the Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao, his network and social status surely couldn’t compare to Xu Caijun’s.

But now it seemed that this was not the case.

Otherwise, Xu Caijun wouldn’t have made such remarks, nor would he have shown unease.

This made everyone even more curious about what identity Shen Dong really had, to make Xu Caijun act this way.

"It’s all right, it’s rush hour now, and traffic jams are normal," Shen Dong said, waving his hand.

For such a trivial matter, he wasn’t about to put on airs.

Hearing Shen Dong’s words and realizing that Shen Dong really wasn’t angry, Xu Caijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Following that, Shen Dong introduced Chen Yuyan and Chen Yuanxiang to Xu Caijun.

After the introductions, the group headed to Shuidilao at Qianda Plaza for a meal.

There was a queue outside Shuidilao, with no empty seats.

"This business is too good," Xie Zhu said in astonishment.

"Yeah, the business is so good. It’s not easy to have a meal at Shuidilao," Han Deming sighed.

Chen Yuanxiang called the manager of this restaurant.

Soon, the manager, Zhang Jing, a young and capable woman, came out.

"Boss, madam, Mr. Chen," Zhang Jing said, surprised to see the three of them, and hurried over.

Because Wu Jin and Xie Zhu were public figures, they wore masks, and Zhang Jing did not recognize them.

"You’re Zhang Jing, right?" Shen Dong asked.

"Yes, boss," Zhang Jing replied, flattered that the boss remembered her name.

In fact, Shen Dong remembered the names and faces of all the managers, as it was necessary for management.

Chen Yuanxiang did the same.

"I brought a few friends to dine, could you arrange something for us but make sure no one sees us jumping the queue, as it would give a bad impression," Shen Dong said.

"Of course, boss. Please follow me, I’ll take you through the back door," Zhang Jing led the group through the back entrance.

Every Shuidilao restaurant reserved a small private room.

This private room was not open to the public; it was specifically for hosting some special guests.

For example, you can’t keep big shots waiting in line for hotpot, right?

This private room came in handy at such times.

Despite the low frequency of usage for the private room, its value was enormous.

Oftentimes, just reaching a certain level of social status could warrant special treatment.

That’s reality, forget about fairness.

More than an hour later, the group left Shuidilao.

Everyone looked radiant and clearly enjoyed the meal tremendously.

"Mr. Shen, I’m convinced. Even a hotpot restaurant can reach this level. The online comments about Shuidilao’s exceptional service aren’t exaggerated at all," Han Deming remarked.

Before coming, he thought the online comments were a bit over the top.

Now, he felt that reality was even more exaggerated than what was said online.

No wonder customers were willing to wait in line.

Shen Dong’s concept of extreme service was truly genius.

It was an ace move that stirred up the catering industry.

Being one step ahead meant always leading; others couldn’t shake Shuidilao’s status, even if they tried to follow suit.

It was said that in Hai City there was a hotpot chain called Xingwang Hotpot that tried to emulate Shuidilao’s service model, but not only did they fail to learn, they even ended up with grievances from customers.
