"You want to franchise our restaurant?" Xiao Cui sized up the three boys in front of her, thinking to herself, "You're still in school, do you have the money to franchise our restaurant? You can't just franchise like that, you need to have financial strength first."
"Alright, go and call your female boss over." One of the boys said impatiently.
"You even know our boss is a woman?" Xiao Cui was extremely surprised. Before, she and the shop's employees all called her Boss Xiao Nuan. But after Uncle Su told her yesterday, they all started calling her Boss Xiao Nuan.
"Nonsense!" The man who let it slip glared at Xiao Cui. "Jiuya Restaurant is so famous, how could we not know about it?"
Xiao Cui thought to herself that he was right. Jiuya Restaurant had only been open for a few days, but it had already been in the newspapers twice. Now, people in the provincial capital were talking about Jiuya Restaurant during their leisure time.
Some neighbors even asked Xiao Cui about everything related to Boss Su after hearing that she worked at Jiuya Restaurant.
She kept her mouth shut and wouldn't talk about her boss outside. She just smiled and then made an excuse that she didn't have time to leave.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go invite your boss!" the three urged Xiao Cui together.
Xiao Cui then ran to invite Su Xiaonuan out.
Xiao Moran kept a close eye on them, worried that they were there to cause trouble. After Xiao Nuan came out, he stayed by her side. Even if he didn't say a word, he could still give Xiao Nuan courage.
If he's really here to discuss business, he can also learn from Xiao Nuan's business acumen.
The three college students enthusiastically stepped forward to introduce themselves. After the introductions, they reached out to shake hands with the woman in front of them, but were unsuccessful.
“You are college students, so it’s not that you can’t join my store, but can you guarantee that you can run it well?” Su Xiaonuan looked at them cautiously.
"Are you worried we don't have money?" The three patted their military satchels.
“It’s not about the money.” Su Xiaonuan frowned slightly. “College students like you are really not within my ally scope. Your task is to study hard. Running a shop and doing business requires careful management.”
"We will definitely run it well, don't worry!"
“Running a business isn’t about talking; it’s about results. If you don’t manage it well, wouldn’t that ruin the reputation of Jiuya Restaurant? You can leave now; I don’t need franchisees like you.”
"I heard the female owner of Jiuya Restaurant is an open-minded and generous person, but after meeting her today, I realize it's all just empty praise," the bespectacled man said disdainfully. "Do you think that college students can only study hard? We are also thoughtful and intelligent young people. While studying hard, we can also try starting our own businesses. Don't look at people with prejudice. Maybe we can do better than those adults who have more time and experience."
These words struck a chord with Su Xiaonuan. It seemed that they were indeed a few young people who genuinely wanted to start their own business.
Of course, these young people are also from well-off families; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to afford the franchise fee and the cost of opening a store.
"Tell me where you'd like to open your shop?" Su Xiaonuan suddenly became interested because of the bespectacled man's words.
"Located near the university town, within a ten-mile radius, there are so many universities, yet there isn't a single restaurant that makes us linger," the bespectacled man said, patting his chest. "Jiuya Restaurant has three branches around the university town, which means it caters to all the students in the area. No matter which direction they come from, they can enjoy delicious food."
"Hmm, that's a good idea." Su Xiaonuan suddenly agreed. "Okay, I agree to your joining. Everyone, come with me to sign the contract."
The three college students carefully read the contract, signed their names, and then handed the fee to Su Xiaonuan.
Xiao Moran was stunned. Xiao Nuan was doing business so fast! In an instant, she had three more franchisees. If this continued, Jiuya restaurants would spring up like mushrooms after rain.
The three college students, holding the franchise agreement, walked out happily and got into a Jeep at the street corner.
The three of them handed the contract to Jiang Yi, who was sitting in the driver's seat. "Boss, as you instructed, we've all signed the contract."
"very good."
Jiang Yi looked down as he flipped through the pages, a smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "Xiao Nuan, we're officially partners now. From now on, your every move is under my control."
"Boss, next, we need to quickly recruit three chefs and send them for standardized training," the bespectacled man said confidently. "The three of us will be responsible for managing the three stores, and you, the behind-the-scenes boss, can just sit back and count the money."
All the investment for opening the store came from Jiang Yi. The few people he brought in were just people he found to manage the franchise. The chefs and waiters all had to be recruited again, but they had a detailed plan.
"Am I some kind of vulgar person who just waits to count money?" Jiang Yi raised his head and glanced at the bespectacled man with displeasure.
Jiang Yi's glance made the bespectacled man feel utterly ashamed.
"Our leader isn't an ordinary person; we are the truly ordinary people."
The three of them were only after Jiang Yikai's high salary; after all, they were poor.
What kind of wealth does Jiang have? Can he be compared to these people?
However, the others heard that Young Master Jiang had resorted to this tactic in order to get closer to Su Xiaonuan.
...
Xiao Hong and Zhong Ling finally finished tidying up the storage room. They had already taken a shower and changed into the clean clothes that Su Xiaonuan had bought for them, and came over feeling refreshed.
Today, they were cleaning the storeroom with disheveled hair, and no one really looked them over.
Suddenly, two beautiful young women walked in, and everyone stared in astonishment.
Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan were also stunned, thinking to themselves, no wonder they were targeted by human traffickers, they could definitely fetch a good price if they were kidnapped.
"Sister Xiao Nuan, Brother Xiao." The two stepped forward to greet them.
"Look, it looks absolutely gorgeous after just a little tidying up. No wonder bad guys were targeting it." Su Xiaonuan looked them up and down. "Having you two working as waitresses in my shop is truly a pleasure!"
“Sister Xiaonuan, it’s not that we’re good-looking, it’s that the clothes you bought are beautiful. Anyone would look good in clothes bought by Sister Xiaonuan.” Xiaohong straightened the hem of her dress. “I’ve never worn such beautiful clothes before, thank you Sister Xiaonuan.”
“Yes, this is the first time I’ve ever worn such a beautiful dress.” Zhong Ling was also very grateful. “I couldn’t even believe it was real, I thought I was dreaming, but when I saw Sister Xiao Nuan, I knew it wasn’t a dream, it was real.”
"Stop just sweet-talking me, you two. Come on, show me the room you've decorated." Su Xiaonuan grabbed one of the beautiful women by the hand. "Let's see if it's safe. If it's not safe enough, I'll have to change the door."
“No need to exaggerate,” Xiao Hong said. “This room is already inside the shop, it’s perfectly safe.”
Su Xiaonuan arranged for them to stay in the storeroom at Boss Huang's place. The storeroom was originally outside the kitchen, which was very unsafe, so she arranged for the two of them to stay in the storeroom before moving them to the original storeroom.
