"Boss, you've finally started the renovation!"
When Jiang Shen came over at noon, he was excited to see that the two newly leased shops in front of Yuan Tiantian were finally under renovation. He almost thought the boss had forgotten about the renovation. After all, Jiang Shen had been waiting to become an employee!
Yuan Tiantian happened to come out to get something. Hearing this, she saw Jiang Shen's relieved expression and couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, don't worry. Your position is reserved. I'm just afraid you won't come."
Jiang Shen quickly shook his head. How could he not come?! Just for the free employee meals, Jiang Shen was determined to come. Working as a waiter at Tiantian Food Store was his main job, while being a food blogger was just a side gig.
"By the way, Han Jun sent me a WeChat message last night. Our first - issue column of Tiantian Food Store will be officially released next Monday!"
Yuan Tiantian was also delighted to hear this. It would surely bring some popularity, right? However, print media was on the decline, so the relevant traffic might be relatively small. But Yuan Tiantian was still happy. Then, she heard even more good news.
"Han Jun said this time it will be a combination of offline and online promotion!"
Huh? This piqued Yuan Tiantian's curiosity. Jiang Shen then explained.
"Offline, there will be pictures and texts. Online, the official blog will release the video we shot that day. Of course, I will also retweet it to cooperate."
Although Jiang Shen had been doing food - related recordings recently, except for the recording of the first issue that day, he had only recorded but not live - streamed during this period, even though the recordings had been edited, they hadn't been posted on relevant platforms.
On the one hand, Jiang Shen was waiting for the first issue to go online before posting them. On the other hand, there was an important matter. Five years ago, after Jiang Shen got sick, Ping Tai learned about his situation and terminated the contract with him not long after. At that time, although Jiang Shen was angry about their ungrateful behavior, he had no choice but to agree. He also pleaded with them not to disclose his illness. Maybe it was their last bit of conscience that they really didn't say anything.
In the past five years, many new live - streaming platforms had emerged, and the original platform was no longer dominant. So Jiang Shen was spoilt for choice. Most importantly, he was afraid of encountering another heartless platform like the previous one, so he was taking his time to choose.
It was just like getting a pillow when you're sleepy. When Jiang Shen was hesitating, Yuan Lele came to Tiantian Food Store again.
"Sis, you should have told me in advance when you were coming!"
Yuan Tiantian gave her a disgruntled look. Yuan Lele smiled. She arrived just in time for lunch. Jiang Shen and the others had just finished eating. Bai Jingyang was trying to persuade Jiang Shen to go to his friend Wu Yong's live - streaming platform, but Jiang Shen was a bit hesitant. He had a little knowledge of this platform, and he knew the traffic wasn't very high.
"Are you that Jiang Shen?! You're going to make a comeback?!"
Yuan Lele looked at him in surprise. She had seen him recording food - related videos before and thought it was just a hobby. She didn't expect he was the once - famous food blogger Jiang Shen! An idea popped into Yuan Lele's mind instantly. She shamelessly sat down at Jiang Shen's table.
"Why don't you come to Wanxiang Entertainment? We're going to build a live - streaming platform here, and Yunqing Venture Capital will invest in it later. The promotion will definitely be in place!"
Bai Jingyang: "......"
Wu Yong, sorry. I've tried my best, but there's a more "powerful" person. You're going to lose!
Hearing Yuan Lele's words, Jiang Shen's eyes lit up. He wasn't very familiar with Wanxiang Entertainment, but he had heard of Yunqing Venture Capital. Well, it didn't matter that he didn't know much about Wanxiang Entertainment. Since it was opened by the boss's sister, he could definitely give it a try!
"Why don't you give it a try? For the first three issues, we don't need to sign a contract with you. We'll make a specific decision after three issues. If you think the promotion and traffic we provide are not enough, you can choose not to cooperate with us."
If Jiang Shen had a little hesitation just now, now he was completely in favor.
"Okay, I agree!"
This condition was really attractive, especially the three - issue trial period, which gave him enough time to decide based on the traffic.
Bai Jingyang was also very surprised to hear Yuan Lele's words. He didn't expect she would propose such a condition. Yuan Lele stayed here for one night, and then the next day, she took Jiang Shen back to City B to discuss the follow - up matters in detail. Now, the long - term "residents" in the village were only Yun Feng and Bai Jingyang.
With no one to have fun with, Bai Jingyang paid more attention to Weibo every day. This morning, Bai Jingyang brought an idea. Actually, it wasn't really his idea, but a request from many netizens.
"Boss, the fans in the store suggest that the daily dishes in Tiantian Food Store should be selected from the Weibo vote the day before."
Ah? Yuan Tiantian was a bit confused and didn't understand. Bai Jingyang then explained in detail.
After his detailed explanation, Yuan Tiantian understood. Every day, fans would leave messages under the Weibo post. The top 10 dishes with the most likes before 22:00 every night would be the selection range for Yuan Tiantian the next day. Of course, if none of them were suitable, Yuan Tiantian could customize, add, or change the dishes by herself.
So that's how it was. Thinking about it, Yuan Tiantian also thought it was feasible. It had been really difficult for her to come up with dishes in the past few days.
"But do I need to announce my choices?"
Yuan Tiantian asked curiously. Bai Jingyang thought for a while and then said,
"After the menu is determined the next morning, I'll take a photo and post it on Weibo!"
Yuan Tiantian had no problem with this, but it seemed a bit strange to her. When Bai Jingyang proposed this suggestion, he said that the netizens didn't know the daily menu. Some people just didn't like certain dishes, and they were afraid of coming to the store and getting dishes they didn't like.
But if that was the only reason, why not just post the daily menu every day? People who wanted to eat could just come.
Yuan Tiantian pointed out this problem, and Bai Jingyang burst into laughter.
"Boss, do you know what a sense of participation is?"
A sense of participation? Hearing Bai Jingyang say this, Yuan Tiantian seemed to understand what he meant.
"They're involved in this process from start to finish. If they see the dishes they recommended being selected, they'll feel a strong sense of participation. The 50% desire to come and eat will surely increase. They'll be more likely to come for the dish they've 'ordered' themselves."
It was a very reasonable explanation. Yuan Tiantian nodded to show her approval. If it were her, she might also feel the same way.
"Okay, then it's settled. The dishes for today have already been decided, so let's start from tomorrow."
Hearing Yuan Tiantian's approval, Bai Jingyang was extremely excited. He then wrote down the rules and quickly posted them on Weibo.
