But in this drink, the grape juice doesn't launch a full-scale attack. Instead, it breaks itself down into countless tiny molecules, lurking between the lemon and tea leaves. As you savor the refreshing lemon and tea, the rich flavor of the grape juice quietly emerges on your taste buds. No one knows where it originates or where it hides, but it is indeed omnipresent.
ha----
Everyone exclaimed in unison again, "This drink tastes really good!"
“These two recipes are quite mature; they can be used directly in Xu’s Lemon Shop!” Xu An said, looking at Tang Wen with interest, “Do you have the contact information for this taster? We should prepare a generous gift to thank them properly!”
"Yes, but boss, please take a look at this first before making a decision."
Tang Wen clicked the page-turning button again, and with a crisp 'click' sound, a photo appeared in Xu An's eyes. The photo showed a handwritten letter.
I recently noticed that Xu's Catering has added a tea brand called 'Xu's Lemon Tea'. I've tried it several times, and it tastes quite good.
I am very interested in your company's atmosphere and career development opportunities. However, since your company does not have a beverage R&D engineer position, I can only take this opportunity to submit two of my own tea recipes as a starting point. I wonder if this will give me the chance to work at Xu's Catering.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Cheng Chuan, and I currently work at Haiquan Beverage Company as one of the core R&D engineers.
"I've gathered some information about Cheng Chuan, and it's pretty much what he described in his letter," Tang Wen explained promptly when she saw Xu An looking thoughtful.
"I also asked Liu Tong, the manager who used to work at Haiquan Beverage Company, to inquire with his former colleagues. The reply I received was that Haiquan Beverage Company had a large backlog of products due to a flawed business strategy."
Employee benefits have been repeatedly cut, commissions and other benefits have been deducted and delayed by a month, and research funding is also tight. Not only is research funding restricted, but they are also required to produce normal output. Perhaps this is why Cheng Chuan wants to change jobs.
"With his work experience at Haiquan Beverage Company, plus these two formulas, there shouldn't be any problem. They're also planning to build a food processing plant in Hezibao, and grape juice is in the production plan, so they definitely need professional beverage R&D engineers."
Xu An asked hesitantly and with some uncertainty, "But grape juice and other products will be produced in Hezibao, and beverage research and development will also be conducted there. Is he willing to be stationed there long-term?"
“I’ll contact him and discuss it,” Lu Shengnan said, taking over the conversation and asking, “If it’s acceptable, what are the next steps?”
"If it's acceptable," Xu An pondered for three seconds, then said, "Let's arrange for him to go to that bakery over there and see if he can adapt. Before the food processing plant is built, we can arrange for him to develop new products for Xu's Lemon Tea shop."

Under Lao Tian's leadership, the first thing the suppliers in Zhuzhou City did in their fight against Xu's Catering was to cut off his food supply!
In the catering industry, the most important thing is the chef, and the second most important thing is the ingredients. Judging from Xu's Catering, the chef is out of options, but there are still the ingredients, right?
Without even leaving the hotel room, everyone took out their phones again and called the big and small bosses in various wholesale markets to inquire whether Xu's Catering, which had just entered Zhuzhou City, purchased its ingredients from them.
But after making one call after another, the replies were all denials: "No," "I've never heard of this company," "I don't know, I don't have it here."
"Damn it, supplying such a large quantity as an entire middle school, Xu's Catering neither purchased ingredients from the wholesale market nor cooperated with greenhouse growers. Did their ingredients just fall from the sky?"
As the leader of the suppliers in Zhuzhou City, Lao Tian didn't believe in this nonsense. He could deny it when asked over the phone, but if he saw it on the spot, then he couldn't deny it!
So, at three o'clock in the morning, Lao Tian, wearing a light jacket, appeared on the road that was the only way to Xu's restaurant and began to stake out the location.
"This truck came from Huimin Wholesale Market; it should be going to Lao Fan's house. This one is going to Lao Du's house, and this one is going to Lao He's house."
More than twenty vehicles of various sizes passed by, some were ride-hailing vehicles, some were private cars, and most were various kinds of small trucks, but none of them turned into the road next to him and headed towards Xu's Restaurant.
Ah—ah ah—
After letting out a long yawn, two bright beams of light shone from the end of the road. Old Tian instinctively looked in the direction of the light source and saw another small truck approaching.
Old Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing his attention on the center of the truck bed, where there was a round area surrounded by what appeared to be some kind of pattern—a pattern that was both extremely familiar and strange.
As the truck drew closer, the logo printed in the middle of the cargo compartment became clearer and clearer. It was a sun printed in orange paint, with the words "Harvest Farm" neatly written below it!
The moment Lao Tian saw the logo, a bad feeling arose, and that feeling became a reality the next second as the small truck turned straight onto the side road next to him.
With Lao Tian shaking his head repeatedly, the small truck stopped in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. The door opened, and the driver got out of the truck!
No wonder I couldn't find out which store supplied ingredients to Xu's Catering after asking around all the wholesale markets in Zhuzhou. It turns out it was Fengshou Farm! It was actually Fengshou Farm! It was actually Fengshou Farm!
