Chapter 1796: Chapter 739: Plan_2

However, Han Zechen’s father, the once mighty figure in the Jianghu, who has washed clean and come ashore now, still left quite a few legends locally on Qin Island. Though his education was perhaps ineffective, he did teach him one thing—

—and that is "rules."

Things definitely couldn’t just end like this; it had to be resolved in his way, at least openly and decently. The two outsiders need to understand why they are "defeated" so they can accept it, which is necessary to regain his lost reputation.

"Xiao Hai."

Observing the bustling scene at the shop’s entrance, Han Zechen’s heart was suddenly stirred.

"Hey, Brother Chen, what’s up?"

"You mentioned earlier that this shop holds pet funerals, right?"

"Yes, pet funerals... I checked; it’s an emerging industry only in recent years. And don’t you know, damn, it seems quite profitable. I’ve been here these days, and the shop looks crowded all the time, people are always queuing at the door, and they seem to be preparing for a new shop just on the street nearby."

Xiao Hai said clicking his tongue.

"Indeed, Brother Chen, I’ve noticed that too."

The other young man responsible for surveillance with Xiao Hai spoke, slightly enviously, "And I noticed there are quite a few young and pretty girls lining up, some of them are just top-notch..."

"A funeral you need to queue for, what a strange world."

Han Zechen felt puzzled and muttered a sentence.

He has engaged in quite a few businesses, bars being just one. Due to the impact of the larger environment in recent years, most businesses are not doing well and have been closing down one after the other.

The only surviving business is a Live House, because he has enough friends and is willing to spend money inviting quality bands and singers to perform, but without a high pricing, the bar’s profits are just average.

"Is this industry really lucrative?"

A certain thought became increasingly clear in Han Zechen’s mind, and he continued asking.

"Probably. I looked earlier; even the basic funeral packages cost several hundred, and there are customized services that easily reach thousands. Many people online say it’s a robbery-like lucrative industry; after all, preparing urns, memorabilia, etc., doesn’t cost much."

Xiao Hai hesitantly replied.

"Do you think... we should also open such a shop?"

Han Zechen touched his chin and said.

"Uh..."

The young men exchanged glances again.

"Brother Chen, aren’t we here to regain reputation? Why suddenly talk about opening a shop?"

Xiao Hai cautiously asked.

"I’ve been telling you to use your brains, use your brains... Who says there’s only one way to regain reputation?"

Han Zechen reproached with hatred, "Think about it, if we open a similar shop opposite them, bankrupt them, so they have to leave Qin Island in disgrace, isn’t it achieving the purpose without fighting?"

"Seems to make sense."

They kept nodding.

"Also, this kind of lesson is much deeper than simply beating them up. If it spreads, it would give me more face, wouldn’t it?"

The more Han Zechen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. And if the industry is as profitable as Xiao Hai stated, he could also make a good haul, making it three wins!

"It’s decided then, Xiao Hai, you find some professionals for assessment... Da Qiang, handle renting the store... Alright, stop standing around like idiots, get moving!"

Han Zechen decided on the spot, starting to assign tasks to everyone.

...

"What? With my experience you don’t want me?"

Meanwhile, from Wanghai Farewell Society came an incredulous shout.

A man in a suit and tie, looking shrewd and worldly, stood up holding his resume, appearing quite displeased.

"Uh, Brother Dog, I think he’s quite qualified. Should we reconsider?"

Yang Hao, sitting behind the office desk, tugged at Zhou Wang, who looked indifferent, and quietly urged.

"No, I think he’s not suitable... Though his resume is impressive, it’s clear he’s a slick guy, unreliable."

Zhou Wang waved his hand, allowing the man to leave cursing, then called out loudly: "Next one."

From the crowd waiting at the shop entrance, a young woman with a cute face but an impressive look stepped in holding her resume.

"Hello, my name is Tang Xiaoyu, from Gui Province. I just graduated from college this year. Here’s my resume. Uh, I know I might lack work experience, but I’m willing to learn, and I can also..."

"Good, well said!"

Zhou Wang suddenly slapped the table, interrupting the slightly stumbling girl, who was startled and momentarily at a loss. Zhou Wang already smiled and nodded, "You’re quite good, I believe in you, you are hired, no problem starting work tomorrow, right?"

"Ah, I... No problem, of course, no problem!"

The girl was stunned, then continually nodded in delight.

"Thank you, thank you... And I just want to confirm, regarding my benefits, as stated in the job advertisement, is there indeed a base salary of three thousand without responsibility, with five social insurances, meal and communication subsidies, overtime pay, and eight rest days a month, working seven hours a day?"

The girl had already stood up, but remembering something at this moment, she carefully confirmed again.

"Not entirely correct..."

"Oh, it’s fine if the base salary is slightly lower, I..."

"No, you misunderstood me."

When the girl spoke, slightly timidly, Zhou Wang waved his hand, laughing, "I said ’not entirely correct’ because you missed one item: regular team building. Whenever possible, we do things like dining or camping every week; our motto is to give employees the feeling of family..."

"Wow, that’s amazing!"

The girl’s eyes immediately lit up, thanked a few more times, then left full of expectations.

"Brother Dog, are you... sure you’re not crazy?"

Yang Hao looked on as Zhou Wang recruited yet another "flower vase" and became anxious, "Leaving aside those with sales champion experience, but recruiting a fresh graduate without any foundation?"

Right then, the waiting crowd outside also broke into a commotion.

Clearly, they gathered quite a lot of information from those who just exited.

Some felt incredulous, others puzzled... But the faces in the applicant crowd showed apparent excitement.

If not for the too-good offered benefits, who the hell would apply at such a future uncertain small shop?

But now it seems, the rumors are true!

This shop’s boss is the most popular type among working people... commonly known as "dumb with money."

"Brother Dog, what exactly are you thinking—could you tell me?"

Yang Hao still eagerly pressed Zhou Wang.

"The thing is..."

Zhou Wang was considering how to explain to Yang Hao. He couldn’t directly say it’s part of his "losing money plan." As Zhou Wang was about to evade the question, he suddenly noticed someone appearing at the shop entrance from the corner of his eye.

He was a bit taken aback, and his expression became slightly serious.

"We’ll talk later, Haozi; you host for now, leave resumes with undecided applicants, we’ll discuss later."

Zhou Wang instructed Yang Hao, not giving him another chance to speak, and quickly headed to the shop entrance.

After moving through the crowd outside, Zhou Wang entered a nearby supermarket, greeted the owner, and began picking drinks in front of the cooler.

"Peining, is there an emergency?"

Zhou Wang softly asked.

"Mm, a bit."

Qu Peining, wearing a baseball cap, quietly appeared behind Zhou Wang.
