In a rented room near the Yinxing office building.
Deng Shan's company is about 300 meters away from the Yinxing Office Building. It's this short distance that makes him unable to visit Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Currently, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant only delivers orders within the Yinxing Office Building; orders outside the building are not accepted.
However, not long after, he heard that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was planning to open a branch near the Yinxing Office Building. They would then offer delivery to shops within a two-kilometer radius of the Yinxing Office Building. He had been eagerly anticipating this news ever since he first heard it, and finally, today, the good news arrived!
Although the news was overshadowed by the overwhelming opening activities of Xu's Braised Food Shop, he still noticed it.
To verify the message's authenticity, he even opened the Xu's Fast Food restaurant's order page, selected the meals for tomorrow, filled in his company address, and pressed the confirm payment button. He was immediately redirected to the payment page, and the payment was completed smoothly! That annoying 'out of delivery range' message never appeared again!
Yeah! Here I come with a lunch of three dishes and a soup for eight yuan! Mom doesn't have to worry about me not eating enough or well while I'm working away from home anymore!
Such good news naturally had to be shared with his colleagues who, like him, had been eagerly anticipating it! Deng Shan opened QQ, clicked on the group chat named 'Gossip Camp,' and sent a message to the group.
"You know what? Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has really come back to life!"
The colleague's reply was quite swift, but the reaction was somewhat different from what Deng Shan had expected.
"Can we please stop talking about this? Today, no matter which app I open online, it's all over the place with ads for Xu's Braised Food Shop's opening event. I'm sick of it!" said colleague A.
"Yes, yes, especially since I can't eat spicy food. Every time I see the first prize of 10,000 yuan in cash, I feel like I've lost a lot of money," said colleague B.
"Sigh, it looks like this will continue for quite a few more days before it stops. Instead of doing all this, we should just focus on food delivery and get it to our area as soon as possible!" said colleague C.
'.' colleague defg.
Okay, it seems everyone misunderstood me, thinking I was going to discuss the opening activities of Xu's Braised Food Shop. Deng Shan didn't argue with anyone, but simply sent a screenshot of an order to the group chat, clearly showing successful payment and the company's address.
The crowd that had just been denouncing the opening event of Xu's Braised Food Shop immediately fell silent. About fifteen seconds later, more than a dozen screenshots of successful payments were neatly displayed in the group chat.
"Order placed! Braised lion's head meatballs, here I come!"
'Braised pork belly is the best! Ah! Finally, I can eat Xu's Fast Food delivery again!'

The next morning, at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Because Xu An needed it urgently, and the store had the product in stock, the vendor selling the noodle buckets readily agreed and promised to deliver the product before Xu's Fast Food Restaurant opened.
So, Xu An, who had been talking to different people about different things until 11:45 yesterday, arrived at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant at 5:40 this morning and bumped into the deliveryman.
Some of the kitchen equipment from Store No. 1 was moved to Store No. 3 next door, leaving enough space to place the two sets of noodle soup buckets. As soon as the noodle soup buckets were installed, the store employees began to arrive at work one after another. There were two new faces today, people Liu Daxi had found who had worked in the kitchen before; like the others in his team, they were deaf and mute.
After handing over most of the work to Wang Fulong, Xu An yawned and sat down behind the cashier. He opened the backend of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's online ordering page, wanting to check how many orders were placed at the newly opened transit station in Yinxing Office Building.
Not long ago, Xu An had Ye Ning upgrade the order system. Now, orders from different transit stations are automatically categorized onto one page and sorted from number one according to the order of order. Now, if Xu An wants to view the orders at the Yinxing Office Building transit station, he only needs to open the page named 'Yinxing'.
When the page first opened, Xu An's expression was perfectly normal, even showing signs of weariness. When the mouse wheel scrolled a second time, Xu An's eyes widened slightly. By the third scroll, Xu An sat up straight, and his eyes returned to normal size. By the fourth scroll, his eyes were wide open like saucers. But this was far from over. The mouse wheel scrolled a full seven times before finally reaching the end. The last column in the table had the number 472!
This means that the Yinxing transit station, which hasn't been heavily advertised, received 472 orders on its first day of operation! And it's only a little past six o'clock now, with more than an hour left before the eight o'clock deadline; breaking five hundred is not a dream!
Xu An rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands until the skin was almost raw. Finally, he calmed down, picked up his phone, opened his contacts, found the number named 'Uncle Han of Shangyang', and pressed the dial button.
"Uncle Han, this is Xu An. Sorry to bother you so early! There's a slight change in the procurement matter we discussed last night."
"I'm not canceling the order! I'd like to add an automatic vegetable cutter. Do you have any in stock? Could you deliver it together with the automatic vegetable washer before 8 o'clock?"
"Express fee? No problem, no problem at all. As long as it can be delivered before 8:00 and installed before 8:30, that's no problem!"
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Uncle Han! Thank you so much for your help!"
After hanging up his phone, Xu An slumped into a chair. The second store couldn't fit a fifth machine, but they could run an extension cord to the back door and barely fit it in the alley. It was a bit of a hassle, having to move it out when they opened and back in when they closed, but with the rapidly increasing orders, this was the only option.
