Chapter 209 Recruitment Needs
Liu Tong walked out of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, looking blankly at the two documents in his hands.
One document was a proposal he prepared himself to persuade Xu An to cooperate with him; the other was a half-finished proposal Xu An gave him. The two were almost identical in content; an uninformed person would certainly think they were drafts and revisions...
However, none of that mattered. Thinking of the commission Xu An had promised, Liu Tong put these minor details aside. He'd rather make more money than waste time worrying about such trivial matters!
Xu An watched Liu Tong's departing figure and nodded with great satisfaction.
Liu Tong and Liu Zhaowen are really good brothers. One of them provided me with the idea of expanding throughout Shanghai, and the other helped me to implement this plan. They are really great!
Beep beep————
The sound of a small truck horn came from outside the store. Two workers got out of the truck, carried a refrigerated drink display case into Xu's Fast Food Restaurant No. 1, and placed it next to the one already in the store. They then returned to the truck, carried cases of drinks into the store, waited for Xu An to sign and stamp the documents, and then said goodbye and left.
Xu An's cooperation with Haiquan Beverage Company officially ended yesterday afternoon. Since there were no related promotional offers, Xu An naturally stopped ordering apple cider vinegar drinks priced as high as 3.5 yuan. Instead, he turned to a food and fast-moving consumer goods company in Haishi, signed a beverage sales contract with them, and rented two refrigerated drink cabinets.
One was placed in Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, and the other was placed in Xu's Braised Food Shop.
Although it's called a lease, if the cooperation period exceeds twelve months, this beverage cooler will belong to Xu An.
This isn't a special treatment for Xu An; it's a benefit available to all partners. For the first twelve months of the lease, as long as the business operates normally and beverage sales meet the minimum requirements stipulated in the contract, no lease fees will be charged.
At 11 a.m., the busiest time for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant arrived. Everyone was busy inside and outside the restaurant, and even Grandma Xu's abacus was clattering away. Only Xu An leisurely looked at the recent business summary report of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
The report clearly shows that express delivery has had a significant impact on Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, with the Yinxing Office Building and Red Brick Creative Park, which are home to a large number of office workers, being the most affected, with order volumes dropping by 100 and 200 respectively. The other locations remained stable, with no increase or decrease.
It's alright. Overall, the impact wasn't as great as I had imagined; it's within acceptable limits.
Looking at Wang Fulong's work summary for August, there are currently seventeen companies with expressed interest in cooperation, three of which have entered the company's internal review process; eleven bids were submitted in August, with seven successfully entering the bidding stage, one of which is currently awaiting the results announcement, and four of the remaining six will hold bidding meetings next week...
Yes, the progress is very encouraging. As long as half of the companies here reach a cooperation agreement, Xu An will not be afraid even if [it's time to eat] immediately enters the scene.
After signing his name on five shopping lists and reading through Tang Wen's activity plan for the lucky draw, it was already 3 p.m. The alarm clock he had set in the morning went off, reminding Xu An to go grocery shopping and pick up Xu Kang and Xu Le from school.
After putting the documents in the cashier's cabinet and locking it, Xu An got on his tricycle and set off.
I thought I was one of the earlier ones, but after chatting with other parents while waiting, I realized that many people had been waiting there all day...
That's quite shocking.
As the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, the teacher led the neat rows of students across the playground.
At first, the lines maintained basic order, but when some of them saw their parents or grandparents, the lines completely broke down. They broke away from the lines, shouting and running towards the kindergarten gate, crying and wailing as they ran, with large tears streaming down their faces...
The sounds of children crying, teachers trying to maintain order in the line, and parents expressing their heartache could be heard throughout the venue.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
Just as Xu An was worrying whether the two little ones were experiencing separation anxiety like other children, he saw two little ones, one wearing a blue tracksuit and the other a red tracksuit, running hand in hand towards him. Unlike other children, their faces were full of bright smiles.
Seeing this, Xu An breathed a sigh of relief and opened his arms, waiting for the two to run into his embrace. Unexpectedly, the two ran in front of Xu An, nimbly turned around, avoided Xu An's hands, and ran straight towards the familiar tricycle.
The little one clung to the high carriage, straining to peer inside on tiptoe, counting on his little fingers: "Chicken wings, meat, shrimp, squid..."
After confirming that all the ingredients for the dishes Xu An had promised to make that morning were ready, the two of them rushed into Xu An's arms and sweetly called him "brother."
Xu An expressed that he was deeply hurt, extremely hurt, that he, a grown man, was actually outmatched by a pile of food...
Xu An ruffled their hair vigorously, turning their smooth hair into a messy frizz, before finally carrying them to the car and turning on the gas to drive home.
The two little ones were clearly adapting very well to kindergarten life. They chattered away, telling Xu An about their day, what games they played, what books they read, what delicious food they ate, and even how many times they pooped...
