Lu Fan shook his head after hearing Jiang Manyue's words.

"Things have calmed down around Mr. Huang recently, but I have a bad feeling about it. We need to keep a low profile when it comes to business matters."

Don't trigger the other person's sensitive and fragile nerves.

Lu Fan didn't want to have to deal with Old Huang's mess when everything was going well.

Compared to setting up a group and going public, Lu Fan thought of something else.

"Now that Baiyue and Millennium have expanded beyond Nanshan City, our logistics chain also needs to keep up with the pace."

"Otherwise, if the distribution can't keep up, it will slow things down a lot." Speaking of which, Jiang Manyue has a lot to do. She sighed.

"The food factory also needs to be expanded. Most of the groceries in convenience stores are now supplied by outsourcing."

“If this continues, we will be in a very passive position. If we don’t want to be manipulated by distributors and merchants again, we will be in a very passive position.”

“We also need to have our own supply chain. I have already discussed this with Director Yi Hailiang of the workshop department.”

After finishing dinner, Lu Fan planned to take a nice, relaxing shower. Upon hearing this, he said:

"I've already thought about this part. Let's talk about it again in a few days, once everyone has arrived."

At 3:00 AM, the convenience store's delivery truck arrived, beginning a new day of deliveries.

However, the staff will be busier today.

In addition to the delivered goods, the head office also assigned the branch the task of promoting the franchise.

This is not a difficult thing.

Before their store was called Millennium Convenience Store, franchised chain organizations needed help with posting advertisements and attracting franchisees.

It's just a different brand now; the job is still the same.

The shop assistants on duty were busy moving goods in and out, and some frozen products needed to be flash-frozen.

There are also some ingredients and semi-finished products that need to be arranged in a categorized manner. As for oden and similar dishes, the broth needs to be changed if necessary, and the water needs to be changed if necessary.

Otherwise, if we use yesterday's soup, the customers will complain.

The posters and flyers were all produced by Xiangyu Printing Factory.

Since the printing factory was acquired by Lu Fan.

The machines are almost smoking from exhaustion. The workers went from initially worrying about not having any work to now wishing the factory would hire a few more truckloads of workers to share the workload. In reality, less than half a year has passed.

At three in the morning, the streets were mostly deserted except for some workers who were working overtime late into the night.

The flyers and posters were put up and were spotted by a part-time worker who came to the convenience store to buy a late-night snack.

Several young people were jokingly reading the poster:

"What? I can become a store manager without paying a franchise fee?"

"You only need to pay the rent, and they even subsidize the renovations? Are scams these days as ridiculous as daydreams?"

"If all you have to do is pay rent, then everyone can open a convenience store."

"Save your breath, it's just a scam. They'll make a quick buck and run." That's what they said, but the young people who had just finished their night shifts still carefully read every word on the poster and even secretly wrote down the franchise contact number.

The young couple who overheard their conversation silently found seats by the window and ordered bento boxes to eat.

After the young people left and the couple finished their meal, seeing that the staff weren't too busy, they went over to the restaurant.

"Your food is quite delicious and the prices are reasonable."

"Is the advertisement on this poster true? Is this your store, Millennium? How's business?"

The shop assistant said with a smile:

"This shop doesn't belong to me. I'm not the manager of this shop; I'm just an employee here."

"But I'll only work until the end of this month. I'll take this month's salary and go back to my hometown."

While processing the payment, the shop assistant whispered to the couple:

"I'm telling you guys, but please don't spread this around. I'm going to open a convenience store when I go back to my hometown."

"Look at this store, it doesn't require any decoration fees or franchise fees, and it even covers part of the rent, so you can open it up."

"Then why should I bother? I could just use my savings to open a shop like this back in my hometown, and at least I wouldn't have to worry about food and drink."

The couple had only been interested in it, but they didn't expect that the convenience store's own employees had already taken action.

The couple looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant.

The shop assistant promptly handed the promotional leaflets to the two of them.

“What’s the use of just listening to me? Here’s their phone number and address. Why don’t you go to their headquarters and ask around?”

So when the couple left the convenience store, they had posters and flyers in their hands.

The next day, it was time to go to work.

The wife, Xiao Shi, asked her husband, He Wen:

"If I go today, I'll have to ask for leave, right?"

After washing up, He Wen was checking if the porridge in the kitchen was ready when he heard his wife's words and nodded silently.

"Go ahead and invite me. I don't even earn as much as I lose in a month."

Xiao Shi sighed: "The factory isn't doing well right now, and everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering, afraid of being laid off."

"I heard there's a new factory in the suburbs that's hiring, and I was planning to go check it out."
