Starting by Selling Lunch Boxes at the Construction Site

Heard the food at construction sites isn't very good?

That's convenient, because I sell lunch boxes right at the entrance of the construction site!

Eight yuan for two meat dishe...

Chapter 177 Impulsiveness is the Devil (Part 2)

Something's fishy going on. Since this person comes from Qiansheng Group and is so capable, we should ask President Lu Shengnan to confirm whether this person is indeed an employee of Qiansheng Group and whether he has participated in these activities. If everything is true, then we definitely can't let him go!

Tang Wen noticed that Xu An remained silent after reading her resume, and assumed that he didn't believe her project experience and suspected she was faking it. So she opened her bag again and took out another document. This document was slightly thinner than the previous one, but still seven or eight pages long.

"Boss, this is the promotional plan I made for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. The document summarizes the promotional methods for the first two months. I will show you the more specific details after I join the company."

Xu An, who had initially intended to say he'd make a call later, silently shut his mouth, took the document, and began reading it carefully. It outlined strategies for creating a store account, converting customers into promotional traffic, expanding the brand awareness of Xu's Fast Food restaurant through the internet, and offline activities.

The seven or eight pages listed nearly twenty different promotional plans. These plans all shared one thing in common: they perfectly suited Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's current operational situation, required minimal advertising budget, but yielded predictably good results.

Most of these plans were promoted through major internet portals, a relatively new approach at the time. Only some foreign companies and those closely associated with the internet adopted this method. Many listed companies were still in the exploratory stage, or hadn't even begun exploring it yet. From 01's perspective, this plan was unacceptable to most companies because it was too forward-thinking—so forward-looking that it would be seen as wishful thinking by idealists or unrealistic speculators.

After reading the report, Xu An suddenly understood why Tang Wen had left Qiansheng Group. Convincing such a large company to make this attempt was virtually impossible without special approval from higher management.

“Ms. Tang, I am very interested in your work experience and this report, but I still need to verify your identity. Would you mind?” Xu Anming didn’t mince words and told Tang Wen directly that he was going to conduct a background check on her.

"Sure, do you need me to provide your contact information?" Tang Wen nodded readily and took out her phone to find the phone numbers of her colleagues and superiors to give to Xu An.

Although Xu An already had Lu Shengnan's contact information, he didn't mind having a few more people to investigate. Since they could verify Tang Wen's identity, Xu An readily agreed to accept the contact person and contact information provided by Tang Wen.

However, the contact person and contact information could be fake. Xu An had heard from the company HR in his previous life that a job seeker provided all the contact persons as relatives and friends, but the wording was not correct and an error was discovered upon further investigation. The resume was quite excellent, and the interview was satisfactory, but due to falsified background checks, the recruitment process could only be regretfully terminated in the end.

He took out his phone, scrolled to his contacts, found Lu Shengnan's name and phone number, and pressed the call button.

Beep—beep beep—beep beep beep—

"Good afternoon, Mr. Xu. What can I do for you?" Lu Shengnan's voice came through the microphone to Xu An's ears, as crisp, clear, and rhythmic as ever.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu. I'm calling to ask you something." Xu An explained the matter briefly as he walked out of the store, and finally asked, "I wonder if Mr. Lu has heard of Tang Wen in the group?"

Xu An thought Lu Shengnan would need time to recall or log into the company's OA system to check, but as soon as Xu An finished speaking, Lu Shengnan's voice rang out on the other end of the phone, with a hint of surprise in her voice: "Oh! You mean Tang Wen went to your store to apply for a publicity planner position?"

“Yes.” Xu An nodded. Lu Shengnan’s reaction confirmed that this person was indeed an employee of Qiansheng Group, either quite famous or had worked with Lu Shengnan before.

“Tang Wen is indeed an employee of our group. She started her internship at Qiansheng Group before graduating and has been working there ever since.” At this point, Lu Shengnan changed the subject and asked with curiosity, “But I haven’t heard of her leaving the company. Is she a job seeker with the same name?”

Lu Shengnan's words subtly conveyed to Xu An that the person Xu An interviewed was likely a fraud or imposter.

I saw her a few days ago when I went to headquarters to report on the plan. I heard she's about to take charge of the publicity campaign for a real estate project within the group, and if it's successful, she'll be promoted to head of the planning department. I heard she was quite excited after taking on this task, so it's unlikely she'd resign so suddenly. She'd probably wait until this project is finished before leaving.

"She officially completed her resignation procedures today; she submitted her resignation three days ago," Xu An replied. "Could you please check if Tang Wen's company account status shows as resigned, Mr. Lu?"

This request wasn't unreasonable, and Lu Shengnan herself was quite curious. She readily opened the company's website, entered her account and password, and logged in. Opening the company member list, she saw over three thousand people in the group center alone. She typed Tang Wen's name into the search bar at the top and pressed enter.

Name: Tang Wen; Position: Head of Publicity and Planning Group 3; Status: Resigned.

Lu Shengnan's eyes widened instantly. She resigned? She actually resigned! And if she resigned, why would she go for an interview at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?

To put it bluntly, compared to Qiansheng Group, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is like an insignificant ant on the ground, while the latter is like the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Even if Tang Wen is down on her luck, she shouldn't be reduced to working at a small street-side shop. What could she possibly do at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant? Cook? Wash vegetables? Wash dishes? Or clear tables?
