Despite the pain in her knees, Jiang Shuya remained calm and arranged for the chefs and employees to perform their respective duties, working with Sun Qi to maintain order among the customers gathered in front of the store.
The two fighters finally stopped, looking at each other in silence, both disheveled. People gradually dispersed, and the scene became quiet.
Jiang Shuya stood at the shop entrance, tossed the handkerchief she was holding to Lin Moxiao, and said to Sun Qi, "Next time, if anyone is fighting at the entrance, call the police immediately."
"Xiaoya, come back with me. Tangtang is waiting for you at home." Huang Minghao used his trump card, covering his injured cheek, and slowly walked towards her.
"I'll say it again, don't use Tangtang as an excuse. I will go see her, but not now. Don't come looking for me again. We're divorced. Apart from Tangtang, I have nothing to do with you," Jiang Shuya said indignantly.
Lin Moxiao walked to Jiang Shuya's side, his voice low and deep; "The wound on your leg needs to be treated promptly. Come home with me; I have some medicine there."
Jiang Shuya stepped back, showing no gratitude; "You too, don't ever appear in front of me again. I don't want to see you again."
After saying that, he went into the store without looking back.
The two men outside sneered at each other; neither had won this battle.
With the opening of the two stores, the "top-up bonus card" promotion was even more popular than expected. The number of orders from office buildings around Hexi increased significantly. Jiang Shuya and Sun Qi also hired two sales staff to handle poster promotion, in-store customer service management, and train potential store managers.
The East Station branch is close to the long-distance bus station and has a high volume of people. The total value of the card recharge business in the store is completely different from that in Hexi, but it is still crowded every day. Because there are many residential buildings around, the face value of the recharge amount is not high, but the number of takeout orders is very high.
All the takeout orders in Hexi were handed over to Wang Ziliang. Jiang Shuya arranged more important things for her younger brother. There were still no clues about the money that had been lost. After Li Xiaoru returned, she only sent Jiang Shuya a short text message to let her know that she was safe.
Perhaps it was still because of that dress that she had some complaints about Jiang Shuya, but her cousin was just too busy, so she planned to buy her a new dress at the mall after she finished dealing with this matter, to put an end to it.
Sun Qi served as the general manager of both stores, and he and Jiang Shuya took turns working at the two stores.
"Sun Qi, I've been looking at the online data these past two days. We've already got over 200,000 clicks. Come with me to Software Avenue today." Jiang Shuya asked, pointing at the computer screen in front of the cashier.
Sun Qi readily agreed, and the two went to Software Avenue together, where they found Manager Fang, the person in charge of the "food delivery platform".
This middle-aged man wore glasses and spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Ms. Jiang, I have investigated your core data over the past few months. The number of pre-sale orders for your online fast food restaurant is generally low, not even meeting the platform's support and promotion standards, let alone the subsidies we are responsible for.”
Jiang Shuya rubbed her hands together, her eyes smiling:
"Manager Fang, you can't say that. What you're seeing is just the surface data of takeout orders. You haven't analyzed our restaurant's repurchase data and related reviews. We are a restaurant with great potential."
This will help your platform bring stable and long-term traffic. Of course, it will require your support to achieve this. If you are unwilling, we can cooperate with two other companies. The reason we chose you as our first choice is because we have a strong belief in your company's potential and capabilities.
Manager Fang smiled, his eyes narrowing, unfazed by Jiang Shuya's praise. "Ms. Jiang, of course I can't possibly delve into your core data; I don't have that much time. Think about it, there are so many stores on the platform, I can't possibly study them all. Just tell me, how would you like us to support you?"
Jiang Shuya's eyes shone brightly as she glanced at Sun Qi and pushed the computer in front of him towards her. "It's like this, Mr. Fang. You see, only half the month has passed, and our order volume has already reached over 30,000. How about we set up discounts and coupon promotions, and each of us covers half?"
Before she could finish speaking, Manager Fang's eyes widened. "Ms. Jiang, are you mistaken? Half the subsidy? Absolutely not! Don't even think about it. Our company doesn't have that kind of investment. At most, we can cover 30%, and even then, we'd need a different plan."
"Okay, 30% is fine too. Manager Fang is a straightforward person, and I won't be coy either. We'll cover the remaining 70%, and we can sign the agreement now."
Manager Fang adjusted his glasses, then felt like he was falling into them, and immediately stopped.
"No, what I meant was that you need to come up with a plan. We can't provide support to just any store."
Jiang Shuya rubbed her forehead, her mind racing. She and Sun Qi exchanged a glance, then she slammed her hand on the table.
"Let's sign a performance-based agreement. We promise to sell 20,000 orders within a month, excluding new customers, focusing only on repeat purchases. How about that?"
Manager Fang shook his head; "No, this number isn't enough. It needs to be at least 30,000 orders for the company to accept it."
Sun Qi clenched her fists nervously, gritted her teeth, and whispered in Jiang Shuya's ear, "According to him, it will be difficult, and we might even have to spend money on traffic acquisition."
"It's alright. For the long term, I signed this performance-based agreement. Only in this way can the other two companies successfully secure the contract. Have you considered that their contribution of 30% adds up to a significant expense over a year?"
After speaking softly, Jiang Shuya looked up, a smile spreading across her face; "Manager Fang, your demands are really too high. We just discussed it, and I've signed this performance-based agreement. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant from now on."
Manager Fang immediately relaxed and extended his hand; "Miss Jiang is truly magnanimous, straightforward, decisive, and has great魄力 (poise and decisiveness)."
Jiang Shuya laughed off the flattery, shook hands with Manager Fang to finalize the contract, and after waiting a short while with Sun Qi, received the performance-based contract from the other party.
After signing the papers, the two walked out of the office building. Jiang Shuya suddenly remembered something, turned around and went back to Manager Fang to ask if the company had any plans to order Jiangdao grapes.
Manager Fang thought for a while, then immediately made a call to the purchasing department, asked about their needs, and gave them a reply.
"You know what, the company is planning to order a batch, it's an annual tradition. It's not on the agenda yet, we're just cooperating with the government to support Jiangdao's economy. But the grapes there are really delicious and famous; they're very popular in our office building every summer."
With hope in sight, things became easier. Jiang Shuya made a quick decision, finalized the grape order with Manager Fang, found the head of the purchasing department, and got his phone number and delivery date.
