“Pfft!”

Zhang Yuan almost spat out his tea.

Fifty units???

Boss Pei, this isn’t right.

If you wanted fifty units, you should have said so earlier!

I was planning to subsidize 1,000 yuan to make friends with you, but if you want 50 units, I’d have to subsidize 50,000 yuan!

I’m just a bar singer, where would I get 50,000 yuan…

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded.

“No, Boss Pei, how many units do you want… I was thinking that the 3,000 yuan fee was too generous, so I wanted to subsidize 1,000 yuan to make friends with you, but if you suddenly want fifty units, I can’t offer this price anymore…”

Pei Qian was taken aback. Look how honest this guy is!

“That’s not right. The 3,000 yuan fee is what you deserve. Why would you think about giving back to me? That makes no sense!”

“So you’re saying this configuration costs 26,000 yuan?” Pei Qian asked.

Zhang Yuan nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

He had originally wanted to make a small impression on Boss Pei, make friends, but ended up revealing too much!

What a situation.

However, Zhang Yuan was also curious about what Boss Pei needed so many computers for.

Was he updating all the company’s computers?

That didn’t seem right.

Pei Qian thought for a moment: “How about this? Each computer costs 26,000 yuan. I can’t let you work for nothing, so besides the 3,000 yuan fee, I’ll give you an additional 200 yuan assembly fee for each computer!”

Zhang Yuan was about to say something, but Pei Qian raised his hand to stop him.

“No need to decline, it’s settled.”

“Let’s talk about something else.”

Zhang Yuan nodded: “Alright. Uh, Boss Pei, may I ask, with so many computers, are you planning to…”

“Oh, I’m planning to open an internet cafe. Ma Yang, who brought you here, is the manager responsible for daily operations. If conditions are suitable, would you be willing to work in Jingzhou City?” Pei Qian asked.

Zhang Yuan’s eyes widened instantly.

So that was it! The big boss wanted to invest in an internet cafe!

Such a wealthy boss, the benefits must be great!

And, was he extending an olive branch to me?

With the big boss personally involved, my position shouldn’t be just an ordinary network administrator, it should at least be some kind of supervisor!

Looking at how generously he spends…

The benefits must be excellent!

Zhang Yuan had just managed to calm himself down, but now he couldn’t stay calm again.

“If the conditions are suitable, I’m willing!”

Pei Qian nodded and asked: “Then, can you tell me about your previous work experience?”

Hiss…

Zhang Yuan drew a sharp breath, feeling that this might fall through.

Boss Pei was probably interested in hiring me because I’m a forum moderator who knows a lot about computers and hardware.

But if I tell the truth and say my current job is a bar singer and bartender…

Would Boss Pei still want me??

What should I do, lie?

No, Boss Pei is knowledgeable and experienced; he would see through it immediately.

After a brief internal struggle, Zhang Yuan decided to answer truthfully.

“Boss Pei, I work as a resident singer at a bar, and also as a part-time bartender, plus I’m a forum moderator on the graphics card forum…”

Zhang Yuan’s voice grew less confident as he spoke.

As if foreseeing Boss Pei’s disappointment.

Unexpectedly, the Boss Pei sitting across from him had a gleam in his eyes!

“Great, you’re multi-talented!”

“Then I can consider setting up a small bar for you to make cocktails in the internet cafe, and pay you two salaries!”

“No, you’re also a resident singer, so three salaries!”

Pei Qian was overjoyed inside.

Perfect candidate!

No matter how good he was at bartending and singing, it had nothing to do with managing an internet cafe.

Plus, paying him three salaries as manager, bartender, and singer would use up more system funds!

With him and Ma Yang working together, they would run this physical store into the ground!

Zhang Yuan almost thought he had misheard.

Was Boss Pei satisfied?

And wanted to pay me three salaries?!

This…

Although he didn’t understand what was happening, judging from Boss Pei’s joyful expression, it didn’t seem fake.

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but wonder, could Boss Pei truly have an eye for talent? How could he see my abilities so clearly?

Pei Qian asked a few more questions and was increasingly satisfied.

“Good! Wait here, I’ll go get the contract.”

Pei Qian left the reception room and returned shortly with a paper contract.

“Internet cafe supervisor, also serving as bartender and resident singer, three salaries together, 14,000 yuan per month.”

“Ma Yang is your direct superior. Report any issues to him, and if he can’t resolve them, come to me. As for the work, go ahead and do it freely, I’ll back you up!”

“Come on, if there are no problems, sign here.”

Zhang Yuan was in a state of shock.

14,000 yuan???

The pen was right in front of him, but Zhang Yuan didn’t dare pick it up.

He couldn’t believe such good fortune existed in this world!

Seeing Zhang Yuan’s hesitation, Pei Qian suddenly thought of an issue: “Uh… you don’t already have a contract elsewhere, do you? Haven’t left your previous job?”

Zhang Yuan shook his head: “I never signed a contract with the bar, I was just working part-time.”

“That’s perfect, then sign the contract directly.”

“Need more time to think about it? That’s fine too. Think it over, and find Assistant Xin when you’ve decided.”

Pei Qian walked out the door, leaving Zhang Yuan alone in the reception room.

Zhang Yuan quickly read through the entire contract from beginning to end.

There were no issues, it was just a normal labor contract!

No hidden clauses to trap him, and the 14,000 yuan salary was written in black and white!

Zhang Yuan picked up the pen with trembling hands.

“I, from a poor family… am finally going to make something of myself!”

…

A few minutes later.

In the reception room.

“Brother Qian, how is it? I told you he’s an expert, very reliable, right?”

Upon learning that a contract had been officially signed with Zhang Yuan, Ma Yang was very happy, feeling that his eye for talent had been recognized by Pei Qian.

Pei Qian patted his shoulder: “Not bad, well done this time!”

Only now did Zhang Yuan understand that this long-faced guy who had brought him in, who seemed a bit slow, was no ordinary person.

Looking at his relationship with Boss Pei, they seemed very close!

Fortunately, both Brother Ma and Boss Pei appeared to appreciate him!

Ma Yang opened his thin laptop, which contained some information.

“Brother Qian, I’ve already found a good location for the internet cafe, roughly in this area. It’s a two-story standalone building. Here are the detailed materials, take a look.”

Pei Qian and Zhang Yuan looked at the materials Ma Yang had prepared.

This place was not near Handong University, nor was it in Jingzhou City’s most popular commercial district.

The area was considered a small commercial zone with a mall nearby, but it wasn’t particularly bustling or lively. Plus, there was a street between the mall and this building, so they weren’t adjacent.

It barely met the system’s requirement of “location in a busy area.”

This was a two-story standalone building that looked quite new, probably built only in the last year or two.

It made extensive use of glass curtain walls, had an open view, and good decoration.

Judging from the decorations in the pictures, this seemed to be a restaurant, though it appeared deserted, looking like it had already closed down.

The operating area was about 3,000 square meters, with a rent of 315,000 yuan per month, averaging 3.5 yuan per square meter per day.

Ma Yang said, “Brother Qian, I’ve inspected the site. The surrounding environment and decoration are good, and the building is new!”

“It was originally a high-end restaurant, but it’s closing down due to poor management, so it’s being transferred. The rent price is very reasonable! I think this place is good, and it’s a standalone building. What do you think?”

Pei Qian said nothing.

Zhang Yuan frowned as he looked.

This place… doesn’t seem very promising!

Long Face, haven’t you thought about why this restaurant went out of business??
