Chapter 170 A drunken solution to a thousand sorrows
Director Song immediately became interested after hearing this: "What bidding? Tell me about it."
"We can post a bidding notice. Anyone who wants to contract a canteen can participate. We will then formulate contracting standards for the canteen, such as daily dish supply standards, ingredient selection standards, etc. We will conduct bidding based on these standards, and allow participating businesses or individuals to submit bids. We will then select the most cost-effective contractor."
"That's a good idea, let's do it."
Director Song immediately made the decision and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Since this idea came from Comrade Xiao Su, then the standard will be formulated by Comrade Xiao Su and Manager Xu."
As he spoke, he looked at Secretary Wang beside him and said, "You have two days to find out what's going on behind the scenes with the cafeteria manager. I want to see who has such great power and dares to openly accept bribes and protect someone under my nose."
Secretary Wang was sweating profusely on his forehead.
He is the one behind that person, he can't possibly give himself away, right?
Director Song was already dissatisfied with him because of the incident with his daughter last time. If something like this happened again, his position as chief secretary might be lost.
No, he absolutely cannot be exposed. It seems that he can only sacrifice his brother-in-law.
As long as my brother-in-law insists that he is making up the story about someone having a backstage connection, no one will be able to find out about him.
Having made up his mind, Secretary Wang hurried to find his brother-in-law to distort his testimony as soon as he left the office.
Su Xiaoxiao and Manager Xu agreed to come to the department store early the next day to discuss the bidding standards, and then they went home after get off work.
On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that her mother and sister Zhaodi were good at cooking, and maybe she could try to contract a canteen.
If this thing can succeed, Sister Zhaodi won't have to go out to make a living, and the family will have an extra income.
After making up her mind, she took out some braised food and beer from the small warehouse in the space, packed them in a net bag, and carried them home.
Given the personalities of my mother and Sister Zhaodi, they would definitely not agree if they were sober, but it would be a different story if they were drunk.
Although it was a bit unkind of her to do so, she was actually doing it for their own good. I believe they will forgive her when they come to their senses.
Sure enough, when she got home she told him about the bidding.
Liu Cuilan immediately shook her head in objection.
"Third brother, it's fine if you let me cook at home, but I can't cook for so many people. Besides, if something goes wrong, we can't take responsibility."
Xu Zhaodi echoed: "Xiaoxiao, I can't do this either. My cooking skills are only good enough for my family to eat."
Just as expected.
Su Xiaoxiao calmly placed a large bag of braised food and beer on the table.
When Liu Cuilan saw her take out beer, her face immediately turned green. Last time, this girl drank a bottle and almost drove the neighbor Dahuang into autism. She insisted on chatting with Dahuang dog late at night and didn't let the dog eat shit, forcing Dahuang to almost swear on the spot.
Dahuang is not a human, she is a real dog!
"Third brother, you'd better not drink this wine."
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on. I'll just say, 'Just drink less.'"
As she spoke, she went to get three teacups and placed one in front of each person: "Come, let's drink together."
Xiao Shitou mainly drinks milk powder and rice soup now. Xu Zhaodi has no problem drinking alcohol, but when they think of how Su Xiaoxiao got drunk last time, they both shook their heads immediately.
"I guess not."
They can't afford to lose face with that person.
"Mom, it wasn't easy for you to raise us. Come, let me toast you."
Su Xiaoxiao poured a glass for Liu Cuilan and then filled Xu Zhaodi's glass. "Sister Zhaodi, I know you're feeling miserable and it's so uncomfortable to keep it bottled up. Come, let's drink together. As the saying goes, a drink can make all your worries go away. I guarantee that after two glasses of wine, everything will be fine."
The two watched Su Xiaoxiao drink it all in one gulp, hesitated for a moment, and then raised their glasses together.
"This beer goes really well with the braised food."
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed a duck neck into each of their mouths, and the three of them ate while chatting.
"Contracting a cafeteria is such a great opportunity! I've thought it through. Our first step now is to contract the department store cafeteria. After a few years when individual businesses are fully liberalized, we'll go out on our own and open restaurants and supermarkets. By then, we'll have chain stores all over China, and we'll be the richest man in China..."
After a few drinks, Su Xiaoxiao's speech became a little slurred.
Liu Cuilan shook her head. "Third brother, are you serious? Can your sister Zhaodi and I really take over the canteen?"
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, can we do it? I'm not sure."
Xu Zhaodi said that she had not done such a bold thing in the past twenty years.
"Why not? You and my mom's cooking skills are better than the chefs in state-owned restaurants. If you two go, this thing will be halfway done."
Su Xiaoxiao poured herself another cup: "Mom, Sister Zhaodi, listen to me, as long as this is done, we will be rich in the future."
She turned to look at Xu Zhaodi and said, "Sister Zhaodi, you also want to give Xiao Shitou a better life, right? As long as this business succeeds and you become rich, no one will dare to look down on you and your daughter anymore."
When Xu Zhaodi heard the last sentence, she stood up from her seat and said, "Xiaoxiao, for Xiao Shitou, I've made up my mind. I'll listen to you."
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at Liu Cuilan again: "Mom, you have always been looked down upon by Grandma and Second Aunt. Are you willing to accept this? Think about it, if you contracted the canteen and made a lot of money, would they still dare to treat you like that? I'm afraid they wouldn't even have time to curry favor with you."
Liu Cuilan slammed her hand on the table and said, "Third Brother, I agree to this. They look down on me today, but one day I will make them unable to reach me."
"That's right. Come, let's go one by one. Congratulations to each of us for becoming the future richest man in China."
"Come, drink!"
"Let's go!"
The three of them clinked their glasses together, tilted their heads back to take the last sip, and with a "bang", they all lay down peacefully on the table.
As soon as the two little brothers opened the door, they saw this scene and were shocked.
Su Jianwu rushed forward, hugged Su Xiaoxiao and started to howl: "Third sister, third sister, why are you so depressed?"
He turned his head and saw Liu Cuilan next to him, and immediately rushed over: "Mom, mom, you are going to die, what should I do?"
When he looked up again and saw Xu Zhaodi across from him, he was about to pounce on her again, but Su Jianwen grabbed her by the back of the neck and said, "Alright, stop howling, they are just drunk."
The air instantly fell into deathly silence. Su Jianwu was stunned for two seconds, then tremblingly stretched out a finger and put it under Su Xiaoxiao's nose.
Then, the next moment, a heart-wrenching scream pierced the sky.
