Chapter 186 – 186
Jinseong visited YSP Cheongju Building.
I visit Cheongju Building regularly every Thursday.
I especially visited today even though it was Monday.
I visited to celebrate the opening of Grandma Chicken.
‘It has changed.’
The purpose of Cheongju Building has changed.
At first, the purpose of Cheongju Building was ‘miscellaneous’ itself.
The purpose has been changed to ‘YSP Food’.
[B1 floor: company restaurant, company café, company lounge]
The first basement floor was the employee cafeteria and rest area.
[1st floor: Hall, Halmaetteok direct store, Halmae Chicken store directly managed, convenience store, Krispy Donut]
A new store directly managed by Grandma Chicken was opened on the first floor.
[2nd floor: YSP gym]
The entire YSP gym was in use on the second floor.
[3rd floor: YSP Entertainment]
The third floor is the entertainment office and studio.
[4th floor: Halmaetteok]
YSP Food is located from the 4th floor.
The 4th floor is the Halmaetteok office, academy, food research lab, small conference room, etc.
The department related to Halmaetteok was using it.
[5th floor: Grandma Fried Chicken]
[6th floor: Food Team]
[7th floor: Food Team]
[8th floor: Food team]
[9th floor: YSP Buffet]
On the 5th floor, Grandma Fried Chicken has opened a new location.
Food-related teams are located on the 6th, 7th, and 8th floors.
Research and development of new products were in progress.
By developing and launching various new products.
Leave the promotion to YSP businesses and YouTubers.
It is a system sold through Y Shopping.
And.
The 8th floor is a luxury buffet.
YSP Buffet opened just 15 days ago.
[Representative. Isn’t the 8th floor of Cheongju Building vacant?]
Originally, the 8th floor was used as a server room.
The server room was moved to another location for efficiency.
[How about running a high-end buffet?]
[I would like to oversee and run the operation myself.]
Manager Lee Hyun-woo suggested operating a high-end buffet.
[Yes.]
Jinseong readily agreed.
Honestly, there was no reason to refuse.
As expected, Manager Lee Hyun-woo was a talented person who was bringing enormous benefits to the company. Manager Lee Hyun-woo, a lucky person, said he wanted to do it, so he couldn’t refuse.
The 8th floor is also vacant. It was being neglected anyway, so it wasn’t a bad idea to use it as a buffet.
More than anything, I believed in Manager Lee Hyun-woo’s talent. It didn’t seem like it was going to fail. If it was beneficial, it would have been beneficial, but I don’t think it would be detrimental.
‘I guess I’ll have to eat at the buffet for dinner tonight.’
The buffet opened 15 days ago.
Although the price was expensive, it was rumored to be of high quality.
It seemed like a lot of people were visiting from out of town.
Unfortunately, Jinseong hasn’t been able to go to the buffet yet.
I was so busy that I didn’t have time to use the buffet.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
I’m very, very curious.
YSP Buffet.
How delicious is it?
How great is it?
‘At least 5 bowls, no, 6 bowls.’
Jinseong has preferred things like ‘all-you-can-eat’, ‘unlimited refills’, and ‘buffet’ since he was young.
Once a taste is formed deep in one’s bones, it does not change even when one becomes rich.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
It was busy all morning.
I beat my achievements, worked out, had an interview, and visited a store directly managed by Grandma Chicken.
“Huh? CEO?”
I met Myunghwan Kim, the manager of the direct store.
[Kim Myung-hwan (24 years old)]
[Reliability: 30]
[Sincerity, honesty, kindness, positivity, lameness]
[Frying (S), Cooking (A), Cleaning (A), Blog (A)]
Myunghwan Kim was disabled.
While in the military, his right leg was seriously injured, and he became a cripple.
‘We met by chance near the office.’
At the time, Myeong-hwan Kim was a homeless young man.
He was neglected by his parents and became homeless at a young age.
Jinseong could not bear to ignore Myunghwan Kim.
He clearly sees that he can live well with just a little help.
He is a young man who has more years to live than he has lived.
It was a pity.
I wanted to help.
So I helped.
He provided him with a job and a dormitory.
“CEO?! Hello!!”
Kim Myung-hwan smiled brightly and welcomed Jin-seong.
The gaze directed at the representative is full of goodwill, trust, and gratitude.
“Please feel free to call me hyung.”
“Yes!! Bro!!”
“Are you going to the hospital?”
“Yes!! I go there regularly. I went there yesterday too.”
[Inner heart: Thank you so much.]
[Inner heart: Thanks to you, the house, meals, and hospital are resolved.]
Myunghwan Kim was living in a nearby officetel dormitory.
He was eating three meals a day at the company cafeteria.
With Jinseong’s help, I visit the hospital regularly.
Myunghwan Kim was just grateful to Jinseong.
Even his parents, girlfriend, and friends ignored him.
Jinseong, who was a stranger to me and had never even met him, helped me when I was homeless.
He was a benefactor all his life.
He was a person who had to do well throughout his life.
I want to return my gratitude, even if only a little.
“Are you ready? Are things going well?”
“Yes!! All preparations are complete. Now all we have to do is open it.”
“Really? Just fry one.”
“Yes!! I’ll fry it for you right away. What would you like to fry it with?”
“Original.”
Original.
It was whole vegetable chicken.
Jinseong sat down. Myunghwan Kim was busy moving.
Fully armed with hat, mask, and cooking uniform. Heat the oil and fry the chicken at 175 degrees. Chicken, garlic, onion, green onion, sweet pumpkin rice cake, etc. Were cooked until golden brown.
‘I guess I should be doing some reading.’
While waiting for the whole chicken, I concentrated on reading.
“Hyung. A whole chicken came out.”
I put the book into my bag. Food was set on the table.
Confirmed the configuration.
Whole vegetable chicken, 2 types of sauce, radish, cola.
The whole vegetable chicken was cut into bite-size pieces.
A savory smell. Golden fried batter. Plenty of vegetables.
Crispy-!
I grabbed the chicken leg with tongs. I took a big bite. The saltiness and savory flavor formed an appropriate ensemble.
Crispy-!
Crispy-!
Very, very delicious It was at least twice as delicious as the whole chicken I recently had at Mom’s Whole Chicken.
As expected, S-grade fried whole chicken. The crunchiness and savory flavor are exquisite. It is indescribably wonderful.
“You eat too.”
“Can I eat it?”
“Yes.”
We sat facing each other and ate a whole chicken together. I drank cola.
“What about other employees?”
“I’m going to work in two hours.”
“When did you go to work?”
“It’s about 4 in the morning.”
“Request additional allowance from head office later.”
“No, it’s okay. I just came out early because I liked it.”
I don’t think I’ll eat it.
Jinseong directly contacted the head office and requested additional allowances.
If you have done the work, it is fair to pay the compensation you deserve.
“Thank you.”
“Work hard.”
“Yes! I will work really hard!”
Myunghwan Kim burned with enthusiasm.
‘Myunghwan. I don’t know.’
I thought it would be enough for more than one person.
‘Because it’s full of life. ‘Because I’m full of enthusiasm.’
It was really nice to see.
Jinseong smiled.
“Hyung. Can I promote Grandma Fried Chicken on my blog?”
“Blog?”
“Yes. I ran a blog until I went to the military.”
“Do whatever you want.”
I answered indifferently, without thinking much.
—
Jinseong started with the directly managed store and visited the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd franchise stores.
They congratulated me and told me that it was a great meal, sent me a wreath, and gave me a gift.
“Brother, thank you for the gift.”
“Representative. Thank you.”
“I will work hard.”
The gift was luxury champagne. It was purchased at a department store.
Gifts were a good thing. A high-end gift is even better. The corners of everyone’s mouths reached their ears.
[YSP Buffet]
I visited the buffet in the evening.
“CEO?!”
Manager Lee Hyun-woo was surprised by Jin-seong’s visit while inspecting the buffet.
“I came to eat.”
“I will guide you to the best seat.”
“It’s okay. We give customers better seats.”
I roughly sat down.
The eyes of employees and guests focused on Ilje Jinseong.
‘Hey?! Is it good?!’
The quality of the buffet is better than expected.
‘Japanese food and desserts are particularly strong.’
Manager Lee Hyeon-woo gave strength to Japanese cuisine using seafood.
The quality of the desserts is amazing thanks to the addition of a former Hwarang Hotel chef.
Jinseong has tasted many things.
‘No.’
The Japanese food and desserts were definitely great, though.
It could not be considered its greatest strength.
‘Korean food is good.’
It is no exaggeration to say that Korean food is its true strength.
‘The food is really delicious.’
Kimchi, steamed foods, grilled foods, and side dishes were all amazing.
Especially sauce.
The sauces were far beyond the buffet quality.
Each one is luxurious, each one is neat, and each one is excellent.
“Manager. You were in charge of Korean food yourself? It’s so delicious?”
“Korean food? No. Korean food was handled by a new chef.”
Although Manager Lee Hyeon-woo was in charge of the buffet, he was in charge of Japanese food.
Chinese and Western food are provided by a chef hired by Jinseong himself.
Dessert is made by a chef from Hwarang Hotel.
“A new chef that I personally scouted was in charge.”
More than 99.9% of the employees were hired after checking their profiles directly.
The remaining very small staff were scouted directly by senior staff.
Jinseong greeted the new chef.
[Jinbeom Park (28 years old)]
[Good man, silence, sincerity]
[Korean food (SS+), cooking (SS), improved (SS)]
Chef Jinbeom Park was a genius who studied abroad.
He was a talent comparable to Manager Lee Hyun-woo, no, he was ahead of Manager Lee Hyun-woo when it came to Korean food.
“This friend also helped me make the wasabi sauce for Grandma Chicken.”
“Oh? Really? You’re talented.”
I handed my business card to Chef Jinbeom Park.
“If you have any trouble or want to do something, please contact me at any time.”
It didn’t stop at business cards.
I contacted JiU. Chef Park Jin-beom ordered a 1.5-fold increase in annual salary. He also ordered that incentives be paid for the development of Halmae whole chicken sauce. He also ordered that a dormitory, a vehicle, and a luxury suit be provided.
—
“Representative.”
Jiyu, wearing glasses and a suit, entered the representative office.
“Grandma Fried Chicken was a huge hit.”
“Really?”
“Yes! The directly managed stores and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd franchise stores are all great.”
I smiled happily.
“And.”
“?”
“I’m talking about Manager Kim Myeong-hwan.”
Myeong-hwan? Why Myunghwan? Has something bad happened?
“Manager Kim Myeong-hwan’s article is plastered all over the Internet with good meaning.”
“?”
I immediately checked the internet.
Manager Myeong-hwan Kim uploaded the latest news to his blog.
I ended up going to the military while running a blog.
He became crippled due to an accident in the military.
Being shunned by family, friends, and girlfriend.
Becoming a young homeless person and living in despair.
I met Jinseong by chance and my life changed.
Calling Jinseong an older brother rather than a representative.
Receiving a gift of champagne.
Etc.
Manager Kim Myeong-hwan’s article was exported to various Internet communities.
[Representative Yoo]
[He seems to be doing a lot of perfect things.]
[ㄴ The story about Grandma Rice Cake keeps coming out.]
[ㄴ They also donate a lot. He seems like a genuinely good person. I really like it.]
[ㄴ Representative Yoo is responsible for the youth that the country is responsible for ㅠㅠ]
[I saw Representative Yoo at the YSP buffet yesterday]
[(Photo) Looks much better in person than in the photo. Looks very nice. It’s likeable. Hyunwoo Lee said he would guide you to a good spot. He said that CEO Yoo was fine and that he should give customers better seats.]
[Is YSP buffet delicious?]
[ㄴ It’s really delicious. Very high level of satisfaction compared to the price. Especially Korean food is amazing.]
[ㄴ What about Grandma Chicken?]
[N GOAT.]
Jinseong scratched his cheek with his index finger.
I allowed the promotion of the blog without much thought.
It’s burning brightly.
—
Sales of Grandma Chicken exploded.
[I would like to inquire about starting a business.]
[Could it be possible to start a business with Grandma Chicken?]
[What are the startup costs?]
The number of applicants for Grandma Chicken franchises also exploded.
[I contacted you because of starting a grandmother rice cake business.]
[I want to start a business.]
Is it because of the popularity of Grandma Chicken?
At the same time, the number of people wishing to start a grandmother rice cake business exploded.
