After receiving Xu An's reply, Tang Wen excitedly pumped her fist, then looked at Lu Shengnan with a puzzled expression and asked, "President Lu, how did you guess that the boss would definitely agree to this publicity request?"
"Why do you think I'm just guessing?" Lu Shengnan tapped the data Tang Wen had sent in the chat box and said, "This data is convincing enough!"
Tang Wen disagreed with Lu Shengnan's statement, retorting, "Although these data are quite good, Xu's Lemon Tea has only been open for two days. Isn't it a bit too hasty to allocate a large amount of advertising funds based on data from just two days?"
“No, for the boss, two days’ worth of data is enough.” Lu Shengnan said, then got up and returned to her workstation, a smile appearing in her eyes.
Tang Wen, you still don't understand your boss enough!
Our boss is a complete opportunist, a gambler who likes to take all-or-nothing gambles. He won't let go of any opportunity to expand Xu's Catering.
Otherwise, Xu's Catering would not have grown from a small roadside lunch stall into a catering company with a market value of tens of millions in just four months.
Achoo! Achoo!
Xu An, who was on the high-speed train, suddenly sneezed twice.
——————
At 2:30 p.m., Zhang Dezhen finished cooking the last batch of braising spices for the day, packed them up neatly, and then walked out of the braising spice preparation room. He took off his work clothes, clocked out of Xu's Catering, and headed straight home.
"Hello, Chef Zhang, I'm Ren Jialun, the head chef of Jinxiu Hotel. Would you be available to chat for a bit now? I've booked a private room at Haitian Hotel."
Zhang Dezhen, who was in a hurry, was startled by Ren Jialun's sudden appearance. He looked Ren Jialun up and down and, after confirming that he did not recognize him, Zhang Dezhen took a step to the left, walked around Ren Jialun, and continued to walk forward.
"Master Zhang, since you're in a hurry, I'll get straight to the point. I sincerely invite you, Master Zhang Dezhen, to join Jinxiu Hotel. The monthly salary is 8,000 yuan, with six types of insurance and one housing fund provided, and a quarterly bonus every three months, the amount of which will definitely not be less than 1,000 yuan."
Hearing what Ren Jialun said, Zhang Dezhen finally realized that Manager Ren of Jinxiu Hotel wanted to poach him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dezhen slowed his pace, and his eyes became strange. Didn't Manager Ren of the Jinxiu Hotel do a proper investigation before poaching people?
Seeing that Zhang Dezhen had slowed down, Ren Jialun assumed he was attracted by the conditions he had offered and was about to press on when Zhang Dezhen turned around, looked at Ren Jialun with a strange expression, and asked in an odd tone:
"Do you know how much money I can earn in a day at Xu's Catering?"
How much can I earn in a day?
A normal braised food chef might earn a maximum of four thousand yuan a month. Zhang Dezhen, as a key figure in Xu's Braised Food, should earn a little more, but surely not more than eight thousand yuan? Could it be that Zhang Dezhen is tempted? Is he bargaining with me?
"Master Zhang, we can discuss the salary..."
Seeing that Ren Jialun was about to continue, Zhang Dezhen, who had things to do at home, didn't want to waste any more words and gave the answer directly: "I can earn two thousand yuan a day at Xu's Catering, eight thousand yuan, and I can earn that in just four days..."
After saying that, Zhang Dezhen hurriedly left, leaving Ren Jialun, the kitchen supervisor of Jinxiu Hotel, standing there dumbfounded.
Can a braised food chef earn two thousand yuan a day?
What a joke! If Zhang Dezhen isn't just asking for an exorbitant salary, then the owner of Xu's Catering must be insane! Paying a braised food chef such a high wage! Two thousand yuan a day, that's sixty thousand a month!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Just as Ren Jialun was shocked by the news of 'earning two thousand a day', a small cart passed by him, and the name of the shop printed on the cart was clearly visible—Jinlong Braised Food!
Seeing the four big characters "Jinlong Braised Food", Ren Jialun's rusty brain started working again.
It seems the chef at Jinlong Braised Food is from the same place as Zhang Dezhen; their braised dishes taste similar and sell well...
Shanghai Municipal Hospital.
"How is the child?" After packing two changes of clothes at home, Zhang Dezhen took a taxi to the hospital. Looking at his daughter sleeping soundly in bed wearing a striped hospital gown, his face was full of worry.
"It's the same as always. The doctor said that if we don't need surgery, we can be discharged after two more days of observation..." Zhang Dezhen's wife comforted him while tucking the baby in. "We can earn tens of thousands a month now. If we're quick, we can raise the money for the surgery in six months... We've made it through so many years, what's another six months... Our daughter is lucky and has a long life ahead of her. Six months is nothing, she'll definitely be fine..."
Nanyuan Garden.
"It's almost the end of the month, time to vote, what are your thoughts?"
"They're all pretty good, whether it's Xu's Catering, Harvest Farm, or Jinxiu Hotel, any of them will do!"
"Let's forget about Jinxiu Hotel. If we choose it, the cafeteria will definitely have to be set up inside the residential area. With people coming and going, it'll be a mixed bag, which is no good!"
"That makes sense. So, you can choose from the remaining two. Either one is fine..."
"We can't just choose any one; we can only choose one!"
"There's still more than a week left, let's take another look, let's take another look..."
"I think Harvest Farm is a good choice. It's a well-established local brand, so it's reliable in all aspects..."
"That's true. Xu's Catering is good, but it's only been open for less than half a year, which is too short a time. I don't really trust it..."
“I also think Harvest Farm is good. They have everything that Xu’s Catering has. It’s an old brand, so I can eat with peace of mind…”
"Let's stick with Harvest Farm..."
