Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 561 – Quanjude

Wen Dongjun went up the stage and waved to the audience proudly. He looked like he had won the quiz. Zhang Han covered her face. She knew that with Wen Dongjun’s character, he would surely behave this way on stage. She should have stopped him from participating.

Feng Yu was bending over laughing. The more confident and prouder you are now, the more the viewers will talk about this program and the ratings will be higher!

Before the host asked Wen Dongjong, he started to ramble everything about himself. He even told the host where his hometown was, what school he had attended, who his parents were and also reveal his hostel number!

Ni Ping embarrassedly interrupted Wen Dongjun: “Mr. Wen, can we start now?”

Wen Dongjun sat down confidently: “Let’s start!”

“Ok. This is the first question……”

Wen Dongjun was stunned by the first question. He does not know the answer and all the options available seem to be the correct answer.

“I choose to ask the live audience!” Wen Donghun said.

The live audience roared with laughter. They had seen many participants before Wen Dongjun, and none of them used their helpline on the first question.

Wen Dongjun looked at the audiences and pointed to Feng Yu: “Can he help me answer the question?”

Feng Yu sneered. You are the one asking for it. Even if I knew the answer, I would tell you the wrong one. Moreover, I also do not know the answer to this question. If I am able to guess the right answer, then we should go and buy a lottery ticket!

“I pick C!” Feng Yu made a random guess.

Wen Dongjun immediately said: “I pick C as the answer.” He thought Feng Yu knew the answers to all the questions.

“Is this your final answer?”

“Yes!”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I am sure. C!” Wen Dongjun confidently replied. This host was weird. I had already confirmed my answer, and she still wants to ask so many times. I will not support her in the future.

“I’m sorry. Your answer is wrong. The correct answer is A!” Ni Ping also did not want any contestant to get the first question wrong. She had tried to give him a chance, but he was the one who insisted on the answer.

Hahaha………

The live audience laughed and cheered. They had never seen anyone get the first question wrong. He had even used a helpline.

Even if you want to ask the audience, you should ask someone who knew the answer. Why did you pick someone who gave you a wrong answer?

Feng Yu also did not expect his answer given to Wen Dongjun was wrong. Seems like Wen Dongjun had bad luck!

The director saw this person who was recommended by Manager Feng was not reliable. With all the rubbish he said and the answering of the first question, the total time was less than 2 minutes. Fine. He decided to record 2 episodes back to back. This person’s footage can be edited and shown as the first contestant of the 4th episode. Eh, if this joker was the opening contestant, it can also attract more viewers!

After leaving the studio, Wen Dongjun was still sulking. When this was aired, he will be the laughing stock in his school!

“Dongjun, you are going to be famous!” Feng Yu purposely said.

“Famous? I had embarrassed myself!” Wen Dongjun sighed.

“How can this be? I will personally write the contents for the advertisement of this episode. I will write ‘a student from Technological University had participated in and broke the records! Think about it. You will be the center of attention in your school. Everyone in your school will know you!”

But Feng Yu did not tell him that those people who were looking at him will be saying, look, that’s the person who can’t even get the first question correct in !

“Are you sure? They will not laugh at me?”

“Who will laugh at you? They will envy you for appearing on TV. Can they even get selected?”

Without me, you will also not get selected!

Wen Dongjun brightens up and smiles: “That’s right. I appeared on TV, and it’s a CCTV program. If they are so capable, then they can get selected and participate!”

Damn. This moron really feels good about himself. But no matter what, it was worthwhile bringing him here to the studio.

“Come, I will treat you all to dinner. You can turn your grief into your appetite. Are you excited?”

Li Na looked at Feng Yu speechlessly. Turn your grief into strength had become appetite?

……

Quanjude, Beijing’s most famous Chinese restaurant. It was famous for its duck feast. This restaurant had been cooking the national banquet for foreign delegates!

Feng Yu had picked to come here for dinner, was also to observe the restaurant. This was because Quanjude will be restructured into a company this year!

Feng Yu had all along thought of setting up an F&B business. But for f&b companies, the food should have a distinguishing characteristic. Feng Yu does not know any distinguished food. Deep fried ice-cream? Or deep-fried chicken? He was not interested in setting up fast food restaurants. He would rather help out the traditional Chinese restaurants.

Quanjude was an established branded traditional Chinese restaurant. This would save Feng Yu lots of trouble.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, Feng Yu remembered that Quanjude was a private enterprise and not a state-owned enterprise. Although the government had some shares in it, it was restructured into a shareholding company. The restructuring had happened this year.

This year, Quanjude had already been converted into a company. But the top management was still the same leaders. These people had the same mindsets. With them around, the restructuring will not succeed.

Since Quanjude could let people invest in Feng Yu’s previous life, then in this life, why can’t Feng Yu buy a stake in it? The Quanjude brand in his previous life was worth more than 1 billion! This was a sure win investment, and the returns were extremely high!

Feng Yu felt that if he invests now, he does not need to spend too much money. Most importantly, Feng Yu likes to eat roast duck!

A chef was performing the slicing of a roast duck in the dining hall. His knife skills were good, and within minutes, the whole roast duck was deboned.

“Chef, what time does Manager Jiang comes in?” Feng Yu suddenly asked. Manager Jiang Xianjun was Quanjude’s future Chairman.

“Manager Jiang? He will visit our restaurants every day. But we do not have only one restaurant, you might not be able to see him today. Are you Manager Jiang’s friend?” The chef asked.

These 4 people look young, but the clothes they were wearing were branded. The Chef knew they were wealthy from their dressing. Also, the car parked outside was expensive. This was why he asked if they were Manager Jiang’s friend.

“No. But I am a businessman, and I would like to meet Manager Jiang.” Feng Yu smiled.

“I’m sorry. I can’t be of much help. You can try asking our branch manager. I shall use these bones to make soup for you. Please enjoy your meal.” The Chef pushed his trolley back into the kitchen.

“Why do you want to know the boss of a duck restaurant?” Wen Dongjun asked while stuffing his face.

“Boss of a duck restaurant? This is a company now, and I want to befriend their deputy general manager. You will know how capable he is in the future.”

Feng Yu shook his head. Quanjude will be Asia’s top F&B’s brand, and Feng Yu wants to get a stake in it. Although this was only a roast duck restaurant now, in the future, Quanjude will have more than 70 branches. It will no longer be just a restaurant selling roost ducks.

“Nana, try this. The duck skin is crispy and delicious.” Feng Yu picked up a piece of duck skin and wrap it up with some sauce.

Wen Dongjung had already finished 3 wraps. This moron was really trying his best to turn his grief into appetite.

Feng Yu also made a wrap for himself and slowly ate it. But suddenly, Wen Dongjun’s face changed!
