> Resúmenes de No Pain No Gain
Many people flocked to the private restaurant, overwhelming the chef and leaving Pei Qian feeling quite dejected. The restaurant's unexpected popularity had even become a trending topic, remaining on the hot search list for several days. It turned out that Huang Sibo, inspired by an idea, had discussed with Lu Zhiyao and asked him to post photos of himself dining at the private restaurant.
Although Lu Zhiyao hadn't generated much attention for web novels, his photos attracted a large number of his fans, creating a massive buzz. Lin Wan, realizing this, finally understood why Pei Qian hadn't seemed discouraged earlier. Witnessing the success of what they initially perceived as a loss-making private restaurant, everyone felt motivated to work even harder.
Discussing the phenomenon with Zhou Muyan, Li Shi expressed his admiration for Pei Qian, believing him to be a visionary whose ventures strategically paved the way for each other, a concept Li Shi himself hadn't considered. Li Shi later sought out Pei Qian, eager to understand the secret behind his success. Pei Qian advised him not to follow his example, insisting that his achievements were purely a matter of luck. Li Shi, however, dismissed this as excessive humility.
Pei Qian then added Li Shi on WeChat, promising to bring people to support Li Shi's private restaurant once it opened. Soon after, Ma Yang informed Pei Qian that someone had copied their private restaurant model. Pei Qian called Li Shi, confirming that it was indeed Li Shi who had opened the new establishment. Pei Qian subsequently brought a group of people to Li Shi's new private restaurant. Li Shi, initially startled, mistakenly thought they were there to cause trouble.
To his surprise, Pei Qian had flowers delivered and presented a large red envelope. Li Shi was deeply shocked. He recalled how Pei Qian had acquired his struggling gym, providing crucial assistance when he needed it most. Now, Pei Qian was even bringing customers to his new venture. Li Shi concluded that Pei Qian harbored no animosity towards him whatsoever. Pei Qian attempted to explain to Ma Yang that there was no special connection between him and Li Shi.
However, Ma Yang was already resolute, declaring he would immediately draft an investment plan, determined not to be outdone by Li Shi. Meanwhile, a news report on TV highlighted the unexpected popularity of the phone booths. Pei Qian, stunned, hurried to investigate the situation. He discovered that the areas around the phone booths were now bustling with snack stalls, long queues of people, and even scalpers selling tickets.
Puzzled by this development, Pei Qian learned that another phone booth was under construction and went to check it out. There, he found Ruan Guangjian drawing original artwork for a Soulslike game. When Pei Qian questioned him, Ruan Guangjian explained that Lin Wan had authorized him to integrate these various industries to cross-promote and drive traffic to one another.
Ruan Guangjian then clarified how the phone booths had gained such traction: during a torrential downpour, a working girl unable to find a taxi sought refuge in a phone booth. Coincidentally, it was her birthday, and the phone booth, equipped with various snacks, allowed her to celebrate it pleasantly. Since these phone booths were strategically located in prime, expensive areas, they had become invaluable temporary resting places for many workers, leading to their widespread popularity.
Coincidentally, the gym also became incredibly popular. After a full day of work, most people lacked the energy for strenuous exercise. The gym's approach, which didn't demand intense workouts and instead allowed patrons to relax, perfectly met their needs—fulfilling a desire for fitness while providing a comfortable space to unwind. Pei Qian later discovered that the phone booths even had an agent. Upon investigation, he confirmed it was Li Shi.
When Pei Qian confronted him, Li Shi readily admitted his investment and expressed a desire to collaborate with Pei Qian in business. Li Shi confidently asserted that he understood Pei Qian and that they could achieve mutual benefit. Pei Qian tried to reiterate that his success was genuinely due to luck, but Li Shi remained unconvinced. Pei Qian then visited Huang Sibo, whose overall operations were still running at a loss.
However, one "domineering CEOs" novel had surprisingly climbed to second place. Pei Qian immediately instructed him to take it down. To Pei Qian's further astonishment, he learned that Huang Sibo had also written a fan fiction for a game, which had soared to the top spot.
