Chapter 43: Chapter 45 Employee Assaulted
Fortunately, Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant hadn\'t caught people\'s attention yet. Otherwise, given the restaurant\'s current security measures, the secret recipe could very well have leaked out.
Qin Hao said to Yu Jie, "Show me the accounts for these past few days."
Yu Jie took out the small accounting book and handed it to him.
Qin Hao opened the book and began reading on one side. The accounts were recorded very clearly: how much was spent on purchases, how much was earned from sales, and so on.
The last line on the page also included a summary of the day.
He looked at it, and the revenue for the first four days showed a stepwise increase, with yesterday\'s revenue reaching more than eighteen thousand.
The net profit had reached more than ten thousand, which pleasantly surprised Qin Hao; the growth rate was too fast.
At that moment, the chubby man came down. He said with a smile, "Hao, in the past few days, we\'ve added another five tricycles. Now, on Yonghe Street, we have ten of our vehicles, almost completely covering all the places with a high flow of people."
The accounting book had a record; the roasted duck restaurant still had over twenty thousand in working capital.
Yu Jie also added, "Based on the current trend, today\'s revenue is expected to exceed twenty thousand."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Everyone, keep up the good work. If we can maintain a daily revenue of over twenty thousand, I will give everybody a bonus."
Hearing this, Yu Jie chuckled, "Really? Boss, your word counts."
Around 11:30 a.m., Liu Pengyun and the others started to come back.
Seeing Qin Hao in the store, everyone respectfully greeted, "Hao (Boss)"
The business was also very good at noon. All the customers buying were local residents, and in the course of the afternoon, they sold dozens of roasted ducks.
By twelve o\'clock, one vehicle had not returned. Kang Youyi asked curiously, "Why hasn\'t Yu Chengcai come back yet?"
"Who is Yu Chengcai?" Qin Hao asked curiously.
Yu Jie quickly said, "Boss, it\'s my younger brother. He came back quite early yesterday, what\'s with today?"
As she finished, she seemed puzzled; could it be that today\'s business wasn\'t good?
Just as she finished speaking, Kang Youyi\'s phone rang.
Kang Youyi looked at it and said to Qin Hao and the others, "It\'s a call from Chengcai." Then he quickly answered the phone.
"Hello, Chengcai, haven\'t you come back yet?"
From the other end of the phone, noises and the voice of Yu Chengcai came through: "What are you trying to do? Fatso, hurry up..."
Before he could finish, the call on the other end was disconnected.
The faces of everyone in the store changed. Qin Hao also sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Pengyun, you guys come with me; Fatty, you stay and watch the store."
Yu Jie, hearing that her younger brother was in trouble, turned pale and hurriedly followed, "Boss, I\'m coming too."
Liu Pengyun, Zhao Hongyu, and Chen Da three people got on the vehicle, and Yu Jie also hurriedly got on.
Qin Hao started the car and asked, "Where was your brother selling?"
Yu Jie: "Over by Xinhe Mall."
Qin Hao started the car and headed straight for Xinhe Mall, pulling out his phone to call Li Bao.
The call connected quickly. Li Bao asked curiously, "What\'s up, Hao?"
"Get people to Xinhe Mall," Qin Hao said and then hung up the phone.
Although his combat power was very strong, his influence wasn\'t that great in certain matters.
```
On the contrary, if Li Bao and the others went, the deterrent effect on those people would be stronger, and it would also let them know the strength of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant.
Qin Hao could tell that the people who had the conflict with Yu Chengcai and the others weren\'t riffraff from the streets but rather competitors.
Because Jiangshan Roasted Duck was selling so well, it was bound to arouse the jealousy of other competitors, which was unavoidable.
He just hadn\'t expected this day to come so quickly.
Xinhe Mall wasn\'t far from the duck restaurant, and it took Qin Hao less than ten minutes to reach the outside of the mall.
As soon as he got out of the car, he could see a crowd not far away; at that moment, four vans also stopped, and more than twenty people got out of the vehicles, led by Li Bao.
Li Bao scanned the crowd and saw Qin Hao and his associates approaching quickly.
Yu Jie, seeing Li Bao and his men, looked at Qin Hao with surprised eyes. Who in the world was he?
Li Bao, leading his men over, asked, "What happened, Hao?"
As he walked, Qin Hao replied, "Someone is troubling my employee. Clear the crowd for me."
Although there were many people gathered around, the crowd wasn\'t dense, so Qin Hao and his associates easily squeezed in.
Inside, six middle-aged men were beating someone.
No one around stepped forward to stop it.
A man in his sixties next to them said to the person beside him, "These duck sellers are all relatives, and they\'ve been domineering around here for some time. Anyone else who tried to sell here got driven out. Now, they are jealous of Jiangshan\'s Roasted Duck sales."
Hearing this, the people around nodded and looked at the aggressors with disgust, but no one dared to intervene as the six men were muscular and intimidating.
Yu Jie, seeing the person being beaten was her brother, cried out urgently, "Stop it, what are you doing? If you keep hitting him, I\'ll call the police!"
The men showed no signs of stopping, and by this time, Yu Chengcai had a lot of blood on him from not being hit lightly.
Qin Hao, seeing this, became instantly furious, "What the hell are you all looking at? Hit them!"
Li Bao and his men immediately charged forward, several of them ganging up on each person.
Yu Jie rushed to her brother\'s side, her eyes red, "Chengcai, Chengcai, are you okay?"
Yu Chengcai\'s nose had been broken, and he had lost a lot of blood. There were many footprints on his body. The attackers had shown restraint and didn\'t beat him to death; they likely just wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Sis, I\'m okay," Yu Chengcai managed a weak smile through a cracked mouth.
Qin Hao also walked over and asked, "Are you alright, brother?"
Curiously, Yu Chengcai looked at Qin Hao and then turned to his sister, "Sis, who is this? Is he your husband?"
...
Yu Jie\'s cheeks reddened slightly, and she said irritably, "Nonsense, he is the boss."
Yu Chengcai\'s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Sorry, boss, I didn\'t mean to."
"It\'s fine, clean yourself up first. Leave the rest to me," Qin Hao patted his shoulder and then turned to look at the six men.
Li Bao and his men were presently beating the assailants.
The bystanders stepped back a few paces upon seeing Li Bao and his group, keeping a distance.
The six men were also stunned. They hadn\'t expected a group of people to show up at this moment and were both shocked and afraid.
After a while, Qin Hao gestured for Li Bao and the others to stop.
He looked at the assailants and said, "You\'re the first to dare touch my employee."
The men glanced at Yu Chengcai, and then at Qin Hao. Jiangshan Roasted Duck was run by him?
The crowd around also looked at Qin Hao with curiosity and astonishment. The young man ran Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant?
