Chapter 211 Crisis Approaching

Early in the morning, the furniture store and computer store delivered the desks, chairs, and computers that Xu An had ordered. Just as they were being installed, the new employees Xu An had hired the day before arrived at the Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.

Since Taobao became a huge hit in 2008, countless people have flocked to this platform with unlimited potential. Gu Jiayi was one of them. She resolutely quit her stable job and stepped into the completely unfamiliar Taobao store industry to make a living.

Those who entered the industry in 2008, while not exactly the first to benefit, at least caught the wave and reaped some rewards. But when the wave receded and the tide went out, Gu Jiayi found herself still stranded on the shore.

After struggling for more than three years, losing almost all the money she had initially earned, she finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing and used her experience of running a Taobao store for more than three years to look for a job.

With years of operational experience, Gu Jiayi's job search went very smoothly, and several companies offered her positions. Just as she was deciding which company to choose, she saw a job posting on Xu's Catering's official account.

As a local resident of Haishi, she was very interested in this restaurant company that had recently gained a lot of momentum, high visibility, and had even been featured on television and advertised. With the thought that even if she didn't intend to work there, she would still go and check it out, she went to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant for an interview the day before yesterday.

How to describe the interview process? Although the boss looked very young, he kept the conversation flowing throughout.

After learning that she had failed in her Taobao store, he discussed with her the reasons for her failure, and every word he said hit the nail on the head.

In the end, she accepted the job offer that very day, almost without thinking...

Although I felt I had been a bit too impulsive after I got back, I didn't back down in the end and decided to come and see what the secret was to the success of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, which had only been open for three months but was doing so well!

Less than a second after Gu Jiayi stepped into Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, Xu An led her to meet all the employees and toured the three stores, giving her a general understanding of the restaurant's basic business scope.

Xu An then took her directly to the second-floor office of Store No. 2, to a brand-new desk that had just been installed. He shoved all the materials he had compiled over the past few days for opening the Taobao store into her hands and gave her the task of registering, decorating, and listing the products for the Taobao store within the next two days...

Very suddenly, without any warning, and without even having time to observe the work environment and colleagues, she was entrusted with an important task and immediately threw herself into the work. She was busy until noon when she took a break, and her immersive work was interrupted by Tang Wen's enthusiastic invitation to have lunch together.

The morning's work went well. My colleagues were easy to talk to, and the boss was also easy to communicate with. Although the workload was a bit heavy, there were no annoying people giving me orders, so I was able to work steadily at my own pace.

Most importantly, lunch was delicious! And it was free! That's like an extra 200 yuan a month!

With high pay, low workload, and close to home, Gu Jiayi suddenly felt that this job was quite appealing.

Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant.

Ding Yao, Zhang Dezhen's brother-in-law, spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen, simmering eight pots of different spicy braised dishes. But none of them were as addictive as the spicy braised dishes from Xu's Braised Food Shop.

He threw down the spatula in his hand and sat in the lobby of the fast food restaurant to think about the reasons behind it.

Why is that? I learned my braised food skills from my brother-in-law. Although I didn't learn them perfectly, I learned about 88% of them.

Logically speaking, even if my spicy braised dishes aren't as delicious as my brother-in-law's, they should at least have some resemblance! But why are they completely unrecognizable? Did my brother-in-law secretly keep a secret from me?

Should I go back and ask my brother-in-law?

Since he kept his skills from me before, I'm sure he won't tell me if I ask him now, especially since he's already established himself in Xu's Braised Food Shop with his braised food skills.

If your brother-in-law doesn't work, why not try your sister? She's just a rural woman; she probably doesn't know much. Maybe you can get the information out of her in a few words!

Thinking of this, Ding Yao took out his phone and called his sister. The first call didn't go through, and the second time it rang for a long time before she finally answered.

"Xiao Yao, why did you suddenly call your sister? Are you still in Haishi? Your brother-in-law said you moved out after finding a job, and we can't get in touch with you. How old are you? You're still acting like a child. Don't you know how worried everyone is?" Zhang Dezhen's wife got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her tone became stern without her realizing it.

"Oh dear, I'm twenty-seven! Twenty-seven! I'm not a child anymore, what are you worried about!" Ding Yao brushed off a couple of times before getting straight to the point: "Sis, I've been craving the braised food at home lately, but no matter how many times I've cooked it, it doesn't taste the same as my husband's. Sis, can you tell me how he makes it again? I want to eat that spicy flavor!"

Although Zhang Dezhen's wife hadn't seen much of the world, her brother's friend had previously told her about his situation, and since her husband now made a living from his braised food skills, she was somewhat cautious: "If you want to eat it, just go to your brother-in-law. You don't need to make it yourself."

"No, I just want to cook for myself. Do you know how to do it? If not, that's fine," Ding Yao said impatiently.

"How would I know? Go ask your brother-in-law yourself. You two both live in Haishi, so you should keep in touch, communicate more, and exchange ideas. We're family..."
