Perhaps he had an upset stomach from breakfast, because Xu Dongliang went to the toilet five times in the two hours after starting work!
I finally managed to stop for a while and thought everything was fine, but then my stomach started rumbling again.
here we go again!
Xu Dongliang put down his tools, clutched his stomach, and ran towards the makeshift toilet on the construction site.
To my surprise, the toilet was full!
No! I can't hold it in any longer!
Looking around, I suddenly saw a large patch of grass behind the building across the street. Now I had something to hide behind and something to wipe it down with.
The choice is yours—the bushes!
Xu Dongliang strode into the bushes and relieved himself thoroughly. Just as he was about to pick a few leaves to wipe himself, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
Damn it! It's too late to escape. If I stand up now, I'll definitely be spotted, especially since I haven't even cleaned up my mess yet!
Slowing his breathing, Xu Dongliang remained motionless behind the bushes, like a stone statue.
The footsteps stopped not far from the bushes. Through the gaps in the bushes, Xu Dongliang saw that the person was wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes and black trousers, which did not look like a construction worker.
The person stood there for a while, then suddenly spoke.
"Hey, Lao Zheng, this is Lao Qi. Yes, I need to talk to you about something."
"Yes, yes, I was just about to tell you about this." Although there was no one around, Lao Qi still habitually lowered his voice: "A couple of days ago, I heard that the higher-ups held a meeting to discuss this matter."
"No, no, I heard they're planning to cancel the bidding."
"There was no pre-arranged decision. The higher-ups decided to directly provide meal allowances to the workers. Sigh, I have no say in this matter; I can only follow the rules. So, it's probably impossible this time."
"As for the Bauhinia Garden construction site, well, it's still uncertain, but you'd better be prepared, the situation isn't very optimistic."
"But it's not a bad thing, you can try to fight for it yourselves! The workers have been eating your boxed lunches for so long, they're used to it, so there's still a good chance."
"..."
What followed was mostly words of mutual comfort and complaints, which Xu Dongliang ignored, his full attention focused on the phrase "providing meal allowances to the workers."
Is this news authentic?
Whether it's true or not, we should tell Anzi. If it's true, then we can be prepared. There are five or six hundred workers at the Bauhinia Garden construction site, and Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is the best value restaurant in the area.
If this news is true, Anzi is going to be rich!
The man in leather shoes talked to the other end of the line for a full five minutes before hanging up and leaving.
Xu Dongliang quickly picked a few leaves to wipe himself, then dragged his legs, which were numb from squatting for too long, back to the construction site to work.
As soon as it was 11 o'clock, Xu Dongliang dashed out like a wild horse and went to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Not seeing Xu An at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, they immediately turned around and headed towards the Delicious Restaurant, where they indeed saw Xu An loading boxed lunches onto a small truck.
"Anzi, I have something to tell you." Xu Dongliang stepped forward and grabbed Xu An, who was busy at work. "I heard some news this morning that Xuguang Real Estate seems to be canceling the boxed lunch service and is directly giving the workers meal allowances!"
Xu An was secretly alarmed upon hearing this. How did Uncle Dongliang know about this? Had it already spread throughout the construction site?
If the news has already spread, then you will have no initial advantage and will have no choice but to fight head-on.
But when Xu Dongliang explained how he obtained the information, Xu An felt relieved; it was just a coincidence.
When the man said it yesterday, Xu An already believed it to be 70% true; now that Uncle Dongliang is saying the same thing, Xu An believes it to be 90% true.
Let's get started, we absolutely have to get started!
Hiring!
Expanding the store!
Let's get started!
At 2:30 p.m., Xu's Fast Food Restaurant closed for business and the store was almost cleaned up. Xu An prepared to close the door and go home.
Suddenly, an electric scooter stopped in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. A man got off the scooter and peered into the restaurant. This man was the landlord of the fast food restaurant next door.
He originally thought he could make a killing off that young brat from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, since his shop was the only one that was vacant.
If this brat comes begging, I might as well lower the price a little, for example, to 2888 yuan per month. What a nice number, what a wonderful auspicious meaning.
But to his utter surprise, the delicious restaurant that was doing so well suddenly closed down and was taken over by this brat.
Then, for three consecutive days, only one customer came to view the room, and once they did, there was no further contact.
The landlord next door panicked. The house had been vacant for half a month! Even if the rent for half a month was calculated at two thousand yuan, that would still be a thousand yuan!
Losing a thousand yuan for no reason means losing a day's rent for every day the space is vacant.
After much deliberation, I finally decided that the young master of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was the most likely to rent the store.
So, after a morning of internal struggle, he finally made up his mind to come and find Xu An.
"Is Boss Xu here?"
"Yes!" Xu An replied subconsciously before turning around to look at the person who came. It turned out to be the landlord next door. What did he want?
Although puzzled, he still smiled and walked to the shop entrance to greet the landlord next door: "Boss, is there something you need from me?"
"I just wanted to ask if Mr. Xu is still planning to rent a shop, and if he's considering my shop?" The landlord next door spoke as if nothing had ever happened, as if the matter of wanting Xu An to take over at a high price had never occurred.
