Xu Heping arrived very quickly, almost at the same time as the landlord of the delicious restaurant.
As soon as they got out of the car, Xu An was pulled aside with a worried look on his face and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to rent the Delicious Restaurant? The owner of that restaurant got into trouble here. Aren't you afraid they'll use some dirty tricks?"
"I've checked, there's nothing wrong with the shop, and the terms have all been agreed upon. Just be careful when signing the contract later." Xu An lowered his voice and said, "This guy is Jin Dayong's son, he's not as shrewd as his father."
Xu Heping then looked up at Jin Wu and saw that he really did look exactly like Jin Dayong, which put his mind at ease.
He had just been worried that the store's employees were owed wages and that's why this happened.
How much more money is needed?
"Rent is 2,000, deposit is 6,000, equipment is 3,700 at half price, still 5,700 short."
Xu Heping nodded, took off his bag, and handed it to Xu An: "There's eight thousand yuan inside, take it first."
"Thanks." Xu An didn't stand on ceremony and directly handed over his bag: "Including this eight thousand, I owe you nine thousand six."
"Where did the extra 1,600 come from?"
"Don't you remember?" Xu An helped Xu Heping recall his memory: "When I first started the boxed lunch business, you said to yourself that once I made money, I would pay you back ten times the amount I paid for the tricycle."
"Do you think I need your little bit of money?" Xu Heping rolled his eyes at Xu An, wanting to say something more, but Jin Wu and the other two had already walked over, so he kept the rest of his words to himself.
The subsequent procedures were not complicated. Xu An, Jin Wu, and the landlord signed a new contract, and Xu An replaced Jin Wu as the new tenant.
Jin Wu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the money. Without lingering for a second, he rode away on his electric scooter. The landlord also left, leaving only Xu An and Xu Heping in the delicious restaurant.
"Why did you suddenly rent another shop? There's hardly any business here now. Our original shop was enough." Xu Heping's words sounded normal, but his tone was sarcastic, and you could tell from his voice that he was still angry.
“The kitchen is too cramped. Everyone has to give way to each other while working, which has reduced work efficiency quite a bit.” Xu An pointed to the Delicious Restaurant behind him: “The Delicious Restaurant is not open to the public. The first floor is used as a preparation area, the kitchen is only used for cooking, and the second floor is used as a warehouse.”
Xu Heping nodded, and a silence fell between them.
well!
Xu An sighed and couldn't help but laugh, "How long are you planning to stay angry? Is it really necessary? Your grades aren't high, but you can still go to a junior college, which is still a university. Why don't you go? Don't be so hypocritical. You can choose not to go to university, but I get angry because I don't want to go."
“That’s different…” Xu Heping was interrupted by Xu An before he could finish speaking.
"What's the difference? Where is it different? After graduating, aren't we all just working nine-to-five, making a living on a salary of two or three thousand?" Xu An couldn't help but tease, "Maybe if you graduate from junior college with a full set of skills, you can earn more than me."
Xu Heping was speechless at Xu An's words, and quickly changed the subject: "I didn't go to university because I wanted to inherit the family business. My family has more than ten fish ponds waiting for me to inherit!"
"I didn't go to university so I could build my own business." Xu An pointed to the sign of the Delicious Restaurant: "Look, this is my second store, and there will be a third, a fourth, a fifth... Isn't my self-made success much more inspiring than yours?"
Depend on!
This time, Xu Heping was truly speechless.
If Xu's Fast Food Restaurant were doing poorly, he could say something; but now that business is booming, he really can't find any reason to refute it.
Xu An reached out and hooked his arm around Xu Heping's shoulder, saying in a nonchalant and roguish manner, "Don't worry, I've already built up the business in just over a month. Maybe it will become an even bigger company than Qiansheng Group in the future."
"You're just bragging." Xu Heping slapped Xu An's hand away in annoyance: "Take down the 'Delicious Restaurant' sign. I've disliked it for a long time."
"Tear it down!" Xu An laughed.
The two borrowed a ladder and a hammer, tore the delicious restaurant's sign to shreds, and threw it into the recycling area behind the back door.
Seeing the signboard smashed to pieces, the two suddenly returned to normal.
Today is the first day of delivering meals to Elsa Apparel Company's employees. Xu An is very dedicated to this task. He has handed over the work of the two transit stations, Shanghai Library and Red Brick Factory Creative Park, to Xu Heping, Liang Dani, and Xu Lili, while he himself is solely responsible for delivering meals to Elsa Apparel Company.
Following the example of fast food companies in later generations, Xu An printed out the order list, cut it into long strips, and pasted them onto the corresponding boxed meals.
In this way, it's very convenient to know who ordered what, which department, and what dishes they ordered just by glancing at the note on the lunchbox.
Elsa Clothing Company required delivery before 11:40, so Xu Heping and Xu Lili were sent to deliver the boxed lunches to the Haishi Library first. Xu Heping then stayed behind to watch over the boxed lunches, while Xu Lili returned the car.
Xu An attached all the slips to the lunchboxes, divided the lunchboxes according to department, packed them into large bags, and labeled the outside of the bags with large department names to facilitate distribution by the administrative staff of Elsa Apparel Company.
Xu Lili returned as soon as she finished her work here, loaded the boxed lunches onto the tricycle, and Xu An rode off.
At 11:39, I arrived at the entrance of Elsa Clothing Company on time.
Just as Xu An finished handing over to Luo Min, Ren Peng arrived in a van with the Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant logo on it, and parked it in front of Aisha Clothing Company with the front facing outwards.
Wearing a flashy floral shirt and flashy sunglasses, he got out of the van with a somewhat ostentatious air, took off his sunglasses, and greeted Luo Min with a smile.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two large boxes at Xu An's feet. Each box could hold a maximum of thirty boxed meals, so the two boxes would hold a total of sixty meals.
As someone with connections, he only secured fewer than sixty orders. It seems his connections aren't that strong after all!
After the company's employees taste today's boxed lunches, they will find that the boxed lunches from chain fast food restaurants are better than those from this nameless little shop.
At that time, all of Elsa's clothing company's orders were hers.
Thinking of this, Ren Peng suddenly felt relieved that Xingfu Kelai had been eliminated.
It's much better for one person to handle over two hundred orders than for two brothers to split the workload equally.
I initially thought this person with connections would be an obstacle, but it turned out to be my lucky star.
Suddenly, Ren Peng's gaze towards Xu An became friendly, and his smile became more sincere. He greeted Xu An warmly, leaving Xu An completely bewildered.
What's the deal with the owner of this fragrant restaurant?
Yesterday, I felt like I wanted to devour myself, but today I can smile at myself so honestly. My attitude is completely different from before.
Something's not right. This person seems suspicious. It's best to be careful!
