“Tang Li Jing Jie” is a leisure and entertainment venue in T City, as famous as “Heaven on Earth.” “Heaven on Earth” has been the industry leader for decades with strong capabilities, while “Tang Li” is a newly rising star, gaining immense popularity. Although “Tang Li Jing Jie” focuses on dining and “Heaven on Earth” on entertainment, they are essentially in a competitive position. Strangely, however, the two seem to be closely linked, as if connected by countless threads.
Legend has it that the owners of “Tang Li Jing Jie” are four young and beautiful girls, but seasoned insiders know that behind such seemingly harmless facades often lies formidable backing. Otherwise, standing out or even just surviving in the ruthless jungle of competition would be impossible. “Tang Li” has risen from a small Hangzhou restaurant to a comprehensive service provider of dining, spa, accommodation, and entertainment in just a few years, its success naturally has its reasons, though the truth remains elusive.
Eating at “Tang Li,” one might just run into figures almost only heard of in legends. According to T City’s most notorious gossip newspaper “The All-Reporting,” a rookie journalist once saw a couple arguing in the hallway during a dinner. The woman’s voice was loud, the man took the beating without fighting back. Driven by curiosity and a sense of justice, the young journalist approached to mediate, hoping to find some juicy gossip, but was met with a knife-like glare from the man, which made him nearly collapse in fear. It turned out this rookie had once aspired to be a gangster, idolizing Chang Shisan, the boss of the east side. He never expected to see his childhood idol while just having dinner. The fierce woman was none other than Lan Jie, Chang Shisan’s wife, known for being elusive. Since then, the young journalist has become a regular at “Tang Li,” hoping to catch another glimpse of his idol.
Over the years, “Tang Li” has opened numerous branches across the country. T City, as the origin, regards “Tang Li Jing Jie” as a flagship enterprise, the first choice for foreign investors. However, “Tang Li’s” hotpot chain remains very down-to-earth and treats everyone equally. Even the mayor must book in advance to secure a seat.
