Chapter 470 Franchisee
I was a bit stumped at how to respond to Cheng Wenbin's compliments: "Mr. Cheng, you're really too kind. Everyone has flaws, but mine might be less obvious. Mr. Cheng is young, promising, and excellent."
Cheng Wenbin smiled and said, "What I said is the truth. It has nothing to do with business. To be honest, if I hadn't known that Miss Lin was married, I would have pursued her without hesitation. It's a pity that I met Miss Lin too late. This is my regret."
Lin Xiaoxia said: "Mr. Cheng will meet someone more suitable for you. Husband and wife don't necessarily need to be the best, but the most important thing is to find someone who suits you."
Cheng Wenbin shook his head: "The one who is worthy of Miss Lin must be an excellent person. If he is not excellent enough, then I will not be willing to accept it."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "My husband is very outstanding. He understands me the best and supports me the most. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Cheng Wenbin said: "Then I must get to know Miss Lin's husband someday, so that I can be content."
Sun Qiang listened to Cheng Wenbin's words and thought secretly in his heart that he should remind Brother Shen when he has time. His sister-in-law is so outstanding that there must be many people who are interested in her. Today, this person is obviously trying to steal her away. Fortunately, his sister-in-law is not an ordinary person and she and Brother Shen are truly in love, otherwise who can resist this?
He quickly said to Lin Xiaoxia, "Sister-in-law, this is Mr. Cheng's first time here, so we have to take him around the store and let him know more."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Okay, let's go around these stores. Not only will we let Mr. Cheng see the store layout and business methods, but we'll also need to explain the geographical locations of our stores to him so he can have some reference when he decides on a new location."
Cheng Wenbin said, "Ms. Lin is really thoughtful."
Lin Xiaoxia and Sun Qiang took Cheng Wenbin out of the office and went to the lobby first. From the design details of the entrance, there is a vestibule at the door, which is windproof in winter and provides a transition for guests on rainy days. Opposite the entrance is the front desk, and next to the window is a booth. There is a certain distance between the scattered tables in the middle, and there are also low partitions to prevent adjacent tables from interfering with each other.
Go up the stairs and you will find offices and private rooms on the second floor. The private rooms are of different sizes and are used for gatherings on different occasions.
Listening to Lin Xiaoxia's introduction, Cheng Wenbin couldn't help but keep his eyes on her. He admitted that he might have fallen in love with her at first sight because she was so dazzling. It was just that he really didn't have such luck. She was married, and he couldn't possibly steal someone else's wife. Although he couldn't hide his admiration for the moment, he also understood the respect he should have.
Arriving at the kitchen, Lin Xiaoxia introduced Fang Lan'e to Cheng Wenbin: "Mr. Cheng, this is my good friend, Fang Lan'e, who is also a very capable manager. She is the manager of this store. You can ask her for advice on many things in the future."
Cheng Wenbin reached out and shook hands with Fang Lan'e: "Hello, Miss Fang, I'm Cheng Wenbin. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Fang Lan'e shook hands with Cheng Wenbin and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Cheng. This is what I should do."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Xiao E, please introduce the kitchen to Mr. Cheng."
Fang Lan'e agreed and introduced Cheng Wenbin to him.
After listening to Fang Lan'e's introduction, Cheng Wenbin said, "It seems to be easier than I thought."
Sun Qiang nodded and said, "Indeed, the difficulty lies in the equipment. When my sister-in-law first told me about her idea, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect the kitchen to be the simplest place."
Cheng Wenbin asked Sun Qiang, "Are these all Ms. Lin's innovations?"
Sun Qiang felt that he had said too much and could only say, "It was my sister-in-law's idea." He emphasized the word sister-in-law.
Cheng Wenbin looked at Lin Xiaoxia with admiration: "Ms. Lin really makes me constantly refresh my thinking. It is my honor to know Miss Lin."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Mr. Cheng, you're really kind. Let's go to other stores."
This was a business discussion, and the other party didn't say anything inappropriate. The other party also knew that I was married. Sun Qiang and Fang Lan'e were also here, so there was no need to deliberately avoid anything. This was just a business deal, and there wouldn't be anything more. In the future, all business matters would be discussed with Sun Qiang, so I had nothing to worry about.
She and Sun Qiang took Cheng Wenbin to two other stores.
Cheng Wenbin made the decision immediately and said that he would come back to sign the franchise contract after he decided on a store.
He will be a franchisee of his own business from now on, so he has to invite Cheng Wenbin to dinner today, naturally at the barbecue restaurant, and tell him more about the barbecue equipment.
Because they had eaten early and Lu Jingshen had not yet finished get off work, there were only Lin Xiaoxia, Sun Qiang and Cheng Wenbin.
At the dinner table, Cheng Wenbin expressed his admiration for Lin Xiaoxia very directly, and Lin Xiaoxia thanked him politely.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoxia asked Sun Qiang to take Cheng Wenbin to experience the bathing culture. She had classes in the evening, so she said goodbye and went home first.
When she got home, Lu Jingshen had already returned, and Lin Xiaoxia told him about the franchisee visit today.
This is a good thing, because everyone comes to join them on their own initiative, so they basically just sit back and collect money. They help decorate the franchised stores in a unified style, provide ingredients and sauces, and then share the profits. The more people join, the more they earn, and it is a very profitable business.
However, after talking about joining the company, Lin Xiaoxia still mentioned Cheng Wenbin's appreciation for her. Of course, she didn't say it as exaggeratedly, but she still mentioned it. After all, even if she didn't say it, Sun Qiang would have to call Lu Jingshen to tell him.
After hearing this, Lu Jingshen said confidently, "No one else can seduce my wife away." But there was a hint of sourness in his tone.
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Others don't understand the feelings between us. My husband holds a place in my heart that no one can compare to."
Lu Jingshen hugged Lin Xiaoxia and said, "Wife, I will never let you leave me in this life."
Lin Xiaoxia leaned on Lu Jingshen's shoulder: "Where would I go if I left you? Silly. You haven't eaten yet, have you? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"No, I'll just cook some noodles for a bite later."
"Then I'll work with you. I'll eat a little more too. I won't be full even if I eat while talking business with others."
"Then I'll make you fried chicken noodles?"
"Okay, let's do it together."
As they talked, they held hands and went to the kitchen, cooking while talking.
Sun Qiang called in the evening and indeed talked about Cheng Wenbin.
Lin Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this. Sun Qiang was really concerned about the two of them. Speaking of which, Sun Qiang and Lin Fangfang's relationship was progressing quite quickly. The parents of both sides were going to meet soon, but their wedding would be held next year at the latest.
After hanging up the phone and taking a shower, the two lay on the bed. The weather was cold, and Lin Xiaoxia liked to stick close to Lu Jingshen, as he was particularly warm.
