After working hard for decades, all I got was to be kicked out at the end. If they had just talked to me about compensation properly, I would have voluntarily stepped down and left. But these petty tricks they're using are disgusting, like a toad that doesn't bite.
Upon hearing this, Xu An immediately empathized with Wang Fulong. He had experienced something similar in his past life! The two were practically brothers in misfortune, and Xu An immediately became indignant, his tone filled with even more resentment than Wang Fulong's.
As they continued their tirade, Lu Ziyue felt thirsty and turned to get some water, leaving Xu An and Wang Fulong to continue their back-and-forth. Suddenly, Wang Fulong sensed something was wrong. Something was off; Lu Ziyue was drinking water and couldn't speak, so who was talking to him now?
Turning his head, Wang Fulong was speechless. The person who had been criticizing capitalists with him for over ten minutes was actually Xu An, the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, a small-time capitalist.
Xu An, caught red-handed, felt no embarrassment whatsoever; in fact, he was already plotting how to lure Wang Fulong to his shop.
For the past few days, he'd been juggling multiple roles—boss, supervisor, dispatcher, purchasing agent, warehouse manager, store manager, planner, copywriter, designer, and more than a dozen others—working himself to the bone. In just two days, Xu An felt utterly exhausted and began to consider finding an honest, reliable, and experienced assistant to help him. With someone to support him, he could set aside these trivial matters and focus wholeheartedly on the store's development.
But people like that are hard to find. Truly capable people wouldn't be willing to work at a roadside stall like Xu's Fast Food Restaurant; what would an incapable person do here? Do they think they're not busy enough and want to make things harder for themselves?
Xu An had initially pinned his hopes on a human resources agency, but the agencies in Haishi were incredibly incompetent; they'd been submitting the requirements for three whole days and hadn't sent him a single candidate. What could he do? He had to take matters into his own hands! After overhearing Wang Fulong's complaints, Xu An had an idea. In the old factional struggle, Wang Fulong seemed to be the losing side—wasn't this a perfect opportunity?
Perhaps Wang Fulong is not very familiar with me, but I am very familiar with him!
This person snatched the orders from the Zijing Garden construction site at a price of 7.8 yuan, securing the entire month's worth of orders for the site. Although the profit margin was low, it was still considerable. Secondly, this person was willing to set aside the prestige of a large hotel, becoming the first and only hotel manager to target the construction workers at Xuguang Real Estate's sites, setting up a stall at almost every construction site. With its high-end hotel reputation, good food quality control, and reasonable prices, Jinxiu Hotel's boxed lunch stall was the most popular besides Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Putting everything else aside, this business philosophy aligns perfectly with Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, and their capabilities are undeniable. What we've seen so far is more than enough for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Furthermore, from our conversation, it's clear that Wang Fulong also harbors a slight desire to switch jobs; he just doesn't know whether he should, or where he should go.
If you want to attract customers, you have to offer something appealing. Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, in terms of establishment time, scale, and reputation, is similar to most hotels in Shanghai. But Xu An is good at making empty promises! In his past life, Xu An had been offered countless big, round, flat, sweet, and savory promises by his boss, which made his promises in this life incredibly tempting—big, round, and fragrant!
"Although Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has only been established for a short time, it has developed rapidly! It is already preparing to open its fourth store; Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has a small store, but a big reputation! Look at the orders at this expo, it beat out a bunch of well-known hotels in Shanghai; Xu's Fast Food Restaurant doesn't have many employees, which means there is a lot of room for you to make a difference. You can bring your familiar subordinates and friends from Jinxiu Hotel with you!"
Xu An launched into a long, enthusiastic spiel about his fast-food restaurant, leaving Wang Fulong speechless. Wang Fulong couldn't understand why the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was revealing so much to him. After talking until his throat was dry, Xu An finally got to the point.
"Brother Wang, you're not happy at Jinxiu Hotel, why don't you come and try working here with me? Although there's a ready-made platform for you to showcase your talents there, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to build a platform from scratch?"
Hearing Xu An's words, Wang Fulong was initially dismissive. But after mentally reviewing and analyzing Xu An's words, he suddenly realized that what Xu An said was indeed true. Wang Fulong turned to face Xu An and carefully examined him from head to toe.
My first impression is that he's young, yet incredibly composed; secondly, this young man is the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, and everything he says could very well come true; thirdly, the restaurant has a simple staff, so there won't be any infighting for a long time; fourthly, the owner is young, and youth means drive. With the owner leading the charge and me, the veteran, anchoring from the rear, this is a very good combination.
Wang Fulong was getting restless. Leaving Jinxiu Hotel and joining Xu's Fast Food Restaurant seemed like a very good choice for him!
While he was tempted, changing jobs was no simple matter for a middle-aged man with elderly parents and young children; it required time for careful consideration. Therefore, Wang Fulong exchanged contact information with Xu An, intending to go back and think it over before giving a concrete answer in three days.
I'm not afraid you'll think it over; I'm just afraid you'll be completely unyielding. From the moment Wang Fulong suggested exchanging contact information, Xu An felt reassured. This general was definitely in the bag!
While the two were talking, many visitors followed the signs set up by the organizing team and found the newly opened dining area in the convention center. A large wave of customers arrived, and Xu An and Wang Fulong stopped their conversation and returned to their respective booths to get busy.
