Chapter 217 Just who is this person?
Xu An slept until 2 p.m. before getting up. When he woke up, he looked out the window and saw the top of the rocking chair swaying back and forth, making a creaking sound. This was most likely the noise made by Grandma Xu.
Xu Kang and Xu Le were sent to kindergarten by Xu Heping. Xu An really didn't know if the two of them threw any tantrums or acted out. He went home and fell asleep as soon as he got home.
Even the work assignments he sent to Tang Wen were sent via scheduled message. Because he was too tired, he pressed the wrong time, and the message that he originally wanted to send at 9 o'clock was sent at 10:05 instead.
Reaching for his phone, he saw 99+ messages on QQ, mostly from regular customers of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant sending their well wishes to Xu An.
Luo Min posted the most messages, mostly complaining that today's employee meals were all purchased from Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant. The soup had soaked the rice, making it taste terrible. She said that she would definitely go and have a big meal when Xu's Fast Food Restaurant reopens!
Looking at these messages, which didn't explicitly express concern but were full of worry, Xu An smiled. Although there were many voices questioning him, there were also many loyal customers who believed in him.
He replied to each chat box one by one, and slowly, he finally clicked into Yu Liang's inconspicuous chat box. The message was sent an hour ago; it was an image, a picture of the test results from a private organization, showing that it fully complied with food safety inspection standards!
Then, Xu An thought about the work he had assigned to Tang Wen, and directly opened the Dayan app. As soon as he entered the word "Xu's", he saw that the top search term changed from "100 times compensation" to "meets food safety inspection standards".
After browsing through the comment sections of many popular bloggers' posts, it's clear that public opinion has completely shifted.
Especially after seeing the comments from those conspiracy theorists online, Xu An couldn't help but laugh out loud. The netizens really have wild imaginations!
I mentally reviewed the events of the past two days. The only remaining preparatory work is the Taobao store renovation; everything else is just waiting quietly for the official test results...
Xu An sat up in bed, lifted the blanket covering his stomach, and turned to get out of bed when he suddenly noticed that on Xu Kang and Xu Le's pillows, there was a blank piece of paper torn from their notebooks. On the paper, a big sun and a big smiley face were drawn in red pen.
Perhaps because she was young and couldn't control her strength, both the sun and the smiling face were drawn crookedly.
Reaching out, Xu An picked up two sheets of paper, smiled, shook his head, and tucked them into his notebook.
The two little ones are so well-behaved, it looks like I can finally get them the fried chicken they want. They can also have some cola, one can is just right for the two of them...
The office of a simple-minded middle-aged man.
"Hey, old village chief, it's rare that you've called me for two days in a row!" The simple-minded middle-aged man teased the person on the other end of the phone for a few moments, then his tone became serious: "Old village chief, don't worry, I will definitely follow the rules and regulations. If there's no problem, there's no problem; if there is a problem, I'll handle it according to the rules. There will absolutely be no messy situations."
"Hmm, how's your mudflat aquaculture project going? Oh, you've already completed the paperwork and leased it! That's good. Have you applied for development funding yet? I'm really looking forward to seeing good results from your project!"
"The application has already been submitted, and the geological survey team is expected to arrive in Haishi in about half a month to conduct a comprehensive survey of your hot spring."
Knock knock knock————
Just as the middle-aged man was engrossed in his conversation, the landline on the table suddenly rang. He had no choice but to pause his chat, reach for the receiver, and put it to his ear. A young man's voice came from the other end of the line: "Boss, Secretary Sun needs to see you. He's downstairs now. Would it be alright if we met in conference room 103 in half an hour?"
Secretary Sun?
A hunched-over, sharp-eyed old man appeared in the simple-minded middle-aged man's mind. What did he want? Wasn't he supposed to be living with the Disabled Persons' Federation, waiting for retirement?
"Just bring him to my office. I happen to be free now, so let's not keep Secretary Sun waiting too long." Although he didn't know why Secretary Sun wanted to see him, the simple-minded middle-aged man agreed. After thinking for a moment, he immediately added, "Never mind, I'll go out and greet him myself!"
After hanging up the phone, the simple-minded middle-aged man picked up his phone to tell the other person that he had something to do, only to find that the call had been disconnected without him noticing.
The two finally met at the two-thirds mark; Secretary Sun had left after one-third of the way, while the simple-minded middle-aged man had left after two-thirds.
"Secretary Sun, it's been a long time! You still look as energetic as ever!" The two had barely met when the simple-minded middle-aged man showered Secretary Sun with flattery, making him chuckle.
Back in the office, after some casual conversation and a couple of cups of tea, Secretary Sun took a document from his briefcase and handed it to the simple-minded middle-aged man, finally explaining the purpose of his visit.
"I've come here today to beg for alms! I've visited several other organizations, and today I've come to you. If you think it's possible, please offer some help within your means..."
The simple-minded middle-aged man looked down at the document in his hand. The document's title was "On Promoting Employment for People with Disabilities."
"...I've thought of some employment options. One is factory assembly line work; as long as the training is adequate, it's just repetitive work with little need for communication. The second is encouraging companies to hire and accept disabled people with education as clerical staff... The third is helping them start their own businesses! Small businesses aren't demanding; earning twenty or thirty yuan a day is enough to live on..."
