This city simulation game can affect reality.

On the afternoon of November 20th, Chen Jun had just finished lunch and was preparing to take a tour of the Longgu River.

The afternoon sun was neither too hot nor too cold, perfect for going out for a walk and also a good way to digest the heat.

Since taking over the resort, this has almost become his daily routine.

Fisherman's Hut is now operating smoothly, with daily revenue curves stabilizing, unlike the dramatic ups and downs it experienced at the beginning.

Some regular anglers, after experiencing it firsthand, have developed a certain tacit understanding with the cabin. If they don't come a few times a month, they always feel like something is missing.

In a way, this also proves wrong those who think resorts are just looking to make a quick buck.

In the online discussions of the past few days, there have been quite a few voices of doubt from the outside world.

Now that the facts are clear, all malicious speculations have been disproven.

In business dealings, especially when facing the public, no matter how eloquent the explanation, it is ultimately less convincing than actual results.

The current situation at Fisherman's Hut is somewhat like a reversed "walled city." People outside are unaware of the true situation inside and think that those who spend money here are just fools with too much money.

But those inside felt that those outside didn't know their stuff, like wild boars that couldn't understand fine bran.

For most people, they won't easily change their stance.

Those who feel the product is not cost-effective from the start are almost unlikely to voluntarily spend money to experience it for themselves.

According to data from City Simulator, some of the initial customers who joined the Fisherman's Hut are already close to reaching the Lv2 level threshold.

We are currently about one-third short of the experience bar.

According to the game's mechanics, just like with the woodcutter's hut, as long as the experience bar increases, your fishing skills will improve even without leveling up.

However, each breakthrough brings a more significant increase in growth than usual.

As for other projects near the Longgu River, the stalls are doing increasingly well, and the initial ten stalls are now not enough.

In the past few days, some people have even come to inquire whether they can set up their own stalls to operate.

Theoretically, this model is feasible, but Chen Jun rejected it for the sake of overall aesthetics and ease of unified management.

However, he also stated that more formal stalls will be added in the future to meet the demand.

Meanwhile, at the hot barbecue stall, Gao Shuyao's experience level has broken through to Lv4. Now, at least in the field of barbecue, he is considered to be at the top level.

However, when it comes to comprehensive culinary skills, it still lacks some all-roundness.

Chen Jun has also recruited new staff to manage the two stalls he set up later.

"Go over and chat with them for a bit."

This is one of the things Chen Jun likes to do in his spare time.

By communicating directly with employees, you can know what they are thinking immediately.

If any problems arise, I can also help people coordinate and resolve minor issues.

For example, coordinating work hours or providing some necessary material support.

This kind of communication is very beneficial in enhancing employees' sense of belonging.

For sustained and stable development, these details must be handled properly.

After all, real-life employees are not like NPCs in games, who have no emotions or thoughts other than cold, hard "favorability" data.

Chen Jun was riding his balance bike when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He had only gone halfway when the phone in his pocket started vibrating.

He slowed down and stopped.

It's Lao Zhou.

"Mr. Chen, I have two pieces of news to report to you."

The other person's tone was as calm as usual, making it impossible to tell whether it was good news or bad news.

If it's just a routine matter, Lao Zhou usually explains it directly.

Such cryptic behavior often indicates that the matter is complex and cannot be explained in a few words, or that a decision needs to be made in person.

Chen Jun had no choice but to abandon today's inspection and turn around on his balance bike.

He quickly returned to the office and went straight into his own workspace.

"What is it, Uncle Zhou?"

"Two pieces of news, one good news and one ordinary news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Old Zhou had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Then let's hear the good news first." Chen Jun sat in his office chair.

"Hu Qian and Yunmi's negotiations have fallen apart," Old Zhou said. "It's said that Yunmi was originally willing to increase their offer, but Hu Qian's demands were simply unacceptable to them."

"It seems we've won."

In fact, Chen Jun himself couldn't say whether this was truly "the best news".

If the other party succeeds in this negotiation, Yunmi will sign Hu Qian at a great cost.

So for Hita, this might not be such bad news.

If the negotiations break down, it might actually be good news, as it would at least quell the unpleasantness of being maliciously poached.

From any perspective, Shita is the winner.

It's just a matter of winning big or small.

"And what about the other ordinary news?" Chen Jun asked again.

He can accept anything as long as it's not bad news.

"Hu Qian contacted me, saying she wants to talk to you in person."

Chen Jun thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, I think you've got it backwards. The previous news sounded ordinary, but this one is good news no matter what."

Although the other party's previous behavior was somewhat unethical, the activity center does indeed need such a talent at present.

However, after this series of twists and turns, the initiative between the two sides has been reversed.

Originally, the resort was in a relatively passive position and had to constantly prove itself in order to attract talent.

But now, it's Hu Qian's turn to prove her worth.

From a business perspective, her willingness to contact the resort directly is itself a sign of humility.

After all, this approach is tantamount to telling Hitta openly that she doesn't have many options left.

If there were a better way out, she would most likely never go back to her ex.

"So, should we meet or not?" Old Zhou asked.

He couldn't make the decision, but from a personal perspective, he didn't have much affection for the new manager.

"Let's meet them, but this time we need to see how much sincerity they can show. Right now, the truth is on our side."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Old Zhou nodded. "Does she need to prepare any materials?"

Chen Jun shook his head: "No need. This is also a test for her. If we say everything outright, we won't be able to see her sincerity and understanding."

I remember that when we were preparing for the first meeting, he did a lot of preparation work to showcase the advantages of the activity center's projects.

Despite racking their brains to demonstrate sincerity, the other party was unwilling to even sit down at the negotiating table.

Now that the situation has reversed, if the other party cannot respond with the same sincerity after this "loss," then the basis for cooperation will no longer exist.
