Chapter 197 Bidding
She said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, we are a family after all. Broken bones are connected with tendons. You can't do this. Zhiqiang is your nephew."
Liu Cuilan: "If I remember correctly, we are no longer related. How can we start talking about our family?"
The two were speechless after hearing this.
After a long silence, Chen Guifang spoke first: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. When our mother left, she took a lot of money from my house. I'm here to ask for it back."
Liu Cuilan didn't believe a word of this. Chen Guifang, a stingy person, always valued money more than anything else. How could she let Wang Chunhua steal it?
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Chen Guifang said, "Anyway, I've already given you the reason. If you really don't believe me, just hand us over to the police."
Liu Cuilan knew that she was lying, but she couldn't bear to send the two of them to the police station.
In the end, they had no choice but to let the two go.
They also have to participate in the department store bidding tomorrow and have no time to bother with them. They can only wait until the bidding is over and find an opportunity to test the old lady's opinion.
The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao got up and washed. She just carried the enamel pot to the faucet in the yard to get water. When she looked up, she saw Xu Zhaodi coming out of the house like a ghost.
Seeing her face clearly, Su Xiaoxiao was startled: "Sister Zhaodi, what's wrong with you?"
There was a dark area under Xu Zhaodi's eyelids, as if her vitality had been sucked away by a male demon.
"Ah, Xiaoxiao, you called me?"
Not only did he look like his energy had been sucked out, but his entire reaction was also several beats slower.
"Sister Zhaodi, what's wrong with you?"
"ah?"
Yu Zhaodi finally came back to her senses, her face immediately wrinkled into a ball. "Don't mention it. I was so nervous last night that I couldn't sleep the whole night. Xiaoxiao, why don't you let Aunt Liu go to the bidding herself?"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
As soon as the words fell, the two saw Liu Cuilan walking out of the room with a pair of big dark circles under her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao: "No, it's just a bidding, is it necessary for you two to be like this?"
Liu Cuilan also had a bitter face: "Third brother, how about this matter..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Xiaoxiao.
"No, I've already paid the deposit. If we don't go, the money will be wasted."
"Besides, you two have been practicing for so many days. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if you give up now?"
"Don't worry, I'll take some time off and go with you. I promise there will be no problem."
When they heard that she was going too, they felt relieved and hurried to wash up and eat.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that it was getting late, so she grabbed a steamed bun as usual, got on her bike and headed straight to the department store.
She has it so hard. She's like this every day at work. It's all because of those alarm clocks that can't withstand being smashed.
She rushed to the department store and saw a lot of people gathered at the door.
These people were all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary customers who came to buy things. They were probably here to participate in the bidding.
Su Xiaoxiao counted silently, and wow, there were more than ten of them.
She never expected that the bidding for such a small canteen would be so competitive.
Seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly went in with her bag on her back, but someone squeezed in before her.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and realized that the person was none other than her mortal enemy Zhang Dongmei.
Zhang Dongmei raised her chin proudly, adjusted her new dress, and left with her shoulder bag.
Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm sick."
Seeing that it was getting late, she hurried in.
She reached out to smooth over her messy hair, then walked towards the grocery counter with a half-eaten steamed bread in her mouth.
As soon as I got there, I heard a lot of people talking about today's canteen bidding.
"I heard that many chefs from state-owned restaurants are here, so it's going to be quite a big event."
"I heard that the canteen bidding requires not only delicious food but also price control. I don't know who will win the bid in the end."
"No matter who he is, we will have a good time in the future."
Zhang Yulan was squeezed in the crowd and listening with great interest. When she looked up, she saw Su Xiaoxiao and greeted her hurriedly.
"Xiaoxiao, come here quickly. We are all discussing the cafeteria. Do you have any gossip?"
Of course she had some gossip, but she couldn't tell it.
People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. As a new salesperson, she cannot be too high-profile, lest someone make trouble for her behind her back.
Sue immediately shook her head: "I'm just a small salesperson, how could I know such confidential information?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Meilan came over.
She clapped her hands: "The door is about to open, what are you still standing there for? You want to deduct money."
As soon as the last word was spoken, everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their respective jobs, ready to start the day's work.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly stuffed the remaining steamed bread into her mouth and stood behind the counter she was in charge of.
Half the morning passed in a flash, and Su Xiaoxiao found some free time to go upstairs to ask Chen Meilan for leave.
After spending some time together, Chen Meilan had a generally good impression of Su Xiaoxiao. When she heard that she wanted to ask for leave, she immediately agreed.
After getting permission, Su Xiaoxiao hurried to the door of the department store to wait for Liu Cuilan and Xu Zhaodi to come.
But after waiting for a long time, the two people did not come, and he suddenly became anxious.
Could it be that I missed the bus?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw two familiar figures running towards her in a hurry.
Seeing that there was still time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved desperately at the two of them: "Mom, Sister Zhaodi, this way."
The two men came closer panting, and Su Xiaoxiao dragged them one in each hand and went straight to the conference room on the fifth floor.
When the three arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room.
In the middle was a long table with a group of people sitting around it. General Manager Yan Guohua was sitting in the front center.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone's eyes fell on the three of them, and Xu Zhaodi and Liu Cuilan became even more nervous.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled the two of them to find a seat in the corner.
As soon as he sat down, Yan Guohua cleared his throat and spoke.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Guohua, the general manager of our department store. Now, let me announce our bidding process today."
"Our bidding today is divided into two parts. The first is the quotation, and the second is the cooking demonstration. We will select our partner based on these two aspects."
"Then next, everyone can submit the price list of the dishes they made."
After these words were spoken, everyone present took out their own quotation sheets and handed them in one by one in order.
Next to Su Xiaoxiao, a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and with his hair neatly combed stretched his neck to look in their direction.
She hurriedly slammed the price list on the table to block it from his view.
The man snorted coldly and looked away. "You guys look like country bumpkins, and you really think you can bid just because you can cook?"
