Except for New Year's Eve, Xu Songyuan spent all his time at the main store.
The pear balls sold reasonably well and received a decent response, mostly from customers from the south. Although it didn't meet Xu Songyuan's expectations, it was still pretty good.
There was a notice posted at the entrance about the Hunan restaurant poisoning incident, and several security cameras were drawn on the paper.
This means that Phoenix Pavilion's kitchen management is now stricter, so everyone can eat there with peace of mind. Indeed, which restaurant can be truly clean? Other restaurants outside don't have as strict a kitchen as Phoenix Pavilion.
Thinking about it that way, Phoenix Pavilion isn't so bad after all.
A small glass door was specially opened in the back kitchen, so you can see the chefs cooking the whole process from the outside, as well as the interior structure. The new store has also installed cameras, and the number of customers has increased significantly compared to January.
Xu Songyuan's mind was finally a little less tense.
It's already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Everyone in the Song family who was supposed to go to work went to work.
Song Xinfu went to the factory early in the morning, and Xu Guiying went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Guo Xia secretly told her that today was Ding Ge's lunar birthday, and the canteen made a small cake for Ding Ge.
At noon, everyone had a simple celebration for Brother Ding.
Brother Ding is in a good mood today; Xu Guiying's celebration is probably more than just a birthday.
Guo Xia asked quietly, "Boss, did you find some gold? Tell us about it."
Brother Ding coughed lightly, "No, I can't tell you yet, but there is indeed good news. After the fabric factory delivers the fabric this afternoon, I'll treat you to dinner at Phoenix Pavilion!"
Xu Guiying could roughly guess what it was about, but she didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly.
However, the fabric factory was late today. The van broke down on the way and it didn't arrive until after 5 p.m. By the time the inventory was finished and the fabric was put into storage, it was almost 6:30 p.m.
Besides Brother Ding, Guo Xia, and Xu Guiying, the purchasing department also has two young people, a man and a woman.
The group of five went to Phoenix Pavilion, the main branch which was nearby. Brother Ding was in a good mood, and everyone, not wanting to offend their leader, toasted him with two glasses of wine.
It was past eight o'clock when we finally finished eating.
Brother Ding treated them to a meal, which was discounted by 40%. Xu Guiying saw them off. It was already late, but she wasn't in a hurry to leave. She planned to go back to Heping Lane with Xu Songyuan later.
At 9:30, there was only one table of customers left in the store, still drinking.
Xu Songyuan asked Mao Cheng to keep an eye on things, while he and his older sister went back first.
There weren't many people on the street. The siblings were talking about Phoenix Pavilion's revenue. Since the poisoning incident, the main store's revenue had dropped by a quarter.
Xu Guiying told Xu Songyuan not to worry, "The situation is much better than expected."
Xu Songyuan hummed in agreement, "Take your time."
Just as the two were about to turn the corner, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the alley behind them.
Instinctively, Xu Guiying turned around for a look, but before she could even see what the other person looked like, a sharp pain shot through her head, and she collapsed as everything went black.
"Big sister!"
Xu Songyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his foot to kick, but then he saw the man's face clearly and felt that the face was very familiar...
In an instant—
A van pulled up, and someone got out. The driver urged, "Hurry up!"
The person in the car attacked him from behind.
Xu Songyuan was hit on the back of the head and also fainted...
"Damn it, hurry up and load it onto the car."
Xu Songyuan was carried onto the van.
Just as they were about to lift Xu Guiying, whose face was covered in blood, someone suddenly shouted to stop them—
"Hey, who are you! Stop right there!"
The two men didn't dare linger. They got into the van and sped away in a flash.
"Holy crap, this guy's face is covered in blood! Get him to the hospital right now!"
"You're not dead, are you?"
"It's still breathing, hurry up!"
