All the matters related to advertising project initiation, application, approval, and modification were handled by Awei's company. Except for the parts that required Xu An's signature or confirmation, he could be a hands-off manager the rest of the time.
After sending photos of the challenge and reward plan he had just drafted to Awei, Xu An said goodbye and left the photography studio. Because filming was still ongoing inside, Xu An only removed his protective suit after leaving the studio. After taking off his gas mask, Xu An noticed that although his clothes had a slight 'hellish' smell, it wasn't pungent at all, and the lingering smell quickly dissipated with the outdoor air circulation, leaving the air fresh and clean.
Somewhat hesitantly brought the suit to his nose; the smell was indeed completely gone. Looking back at the photography studio, he took two deep breaths through the crack in the door, but still couldn't smell the pungent odor. Xu An's eyes suddenly lit up: protective suit + gas mask + dedicated photography studio = no smell!
The kitchen of the No. 1 store was transformed into this photography studio, specifically for cooking braised dishes, especially the "Hellish Braised Dishes." With the addition of gas masks and protective suits, multiple layers of protection ensured Zhang Dezhen's safety while also guaranteeing that the store's operations would no longer be disrupted by the "Hellish Braised Dishes."
Just as Xu An was getting restless, something suddenly occurred to him, and it hit him like a bucket of cold water. All three of Xu's Fast Food restaurants were located on the third phase of the Zijing Garden development site. Following the timeline of his previous life, notices would be issued by the end of next year requiring all businesses to vacate, and the formal demolition would begin after the new year.
In other words, Xu An needs to find a new shop and renovate it before the demolition, ensuring a seamless transition so as not to disrupt the operation of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Although relocation is inevitable, even by the end of next year, the third phase of Zijing Garden will still be more than a year away from completion. During this year, the number of workers on the construction site will not decrease, and Xu An does not want to give up this stable customer base.
Entering a state of deep thought, Xu An wasn't in a hurry to leave. After greeting the receptionist, he sat down in the waiting area, took out his notebook and pen, and began to scribble and draw. Midway through, the receptionist brought Xu An a cup of warm lemonade.
Xu An used simple lines to draw the entire Zijing Road area, then circled the first, second, and third phases of the Zijing Garden construction site, and finally marked the three stores of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant in the area.
Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is located at the entrance of the first phase of the construction site. According to the original timeline, the first phase will be put into the market in March next year. Nearby residents and businesses will gradually start to return, and eventually they will return here!
The pen in his hand struck hard on the street marked by two lines outside the Bauhinia Garden construction site! The force penetrated the paper, leaving a dent in the notebook.
This is it! Zijing Road and Qianjin Street!
Although Zijing Garden is a mid-to-high-end residential area integrating living, education, medical care, and commerce, the upscale commercial area cannot fully meet the needs of residents. Moreover, the commercial area was only planned and completed for leasing during the third phase of development, by which time residents of the first phase had already lived there for a year. So how were their daily needs met during that year? Right here on Zijing Road and Qianjin Street!
Zijing Road and Qianjin Street only came to public attention at the end of this year after news broke that the first phase of the Zijing Garden development had been completed and entered the interior decoration stage, with the possibility of sales at any time. Currently, this street is just a very common, ordinary old street. It's only about 500 meters from Xu An's current shop location, sharing the same national highway and with a nearly identical geographical location.
Find some time to go and take a look, see if you can find a suitable shop on this old street. If you can find a suitable storefront, it would be best to try and buy it; property prices aren't as high as they are in later years!
After writing "Zijing Road, Qianjin Street" in the itinerary section, Xu An capped his pen and stuffed it, along with his notebook, into his pocket. He then picked up the now-cold lemonade in front of him and downed it in one gulp. Just then, Xu An was about to get up and say goodbye to the receptionist when a loud voice came from the doorway.
"Hello, I'm a delivery rider from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, here to deliver your food. You ordered a total of twelve boxed meals today, they're all here. Please check them, and if everything is okay, please sign for them." A rider hurriedly carried twelve boxed meals to the front desk and handed a receipt to the receptionist.
"Let me check, one, two, thirty-two, the quantity is correct." The receptionist smiled as she took the order from the rider, signed her name and the date, and handed it back to the rider: "It's your turn to deliver today."
"Yes, it's my turn tomorrow too." The rider took back the receipt and stuffed it into his waist bag, then waved goodbye: "The payment has been settled online, I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." The receptionist said, tapping a few keys on her keyboard, seemingly sending a message. A moment later, seven or eight people came downstairs shouting and laughing as they took their boxed meals with their names on them.
Seeing this, Xu An's lips curled into a slight smile. The receptionist noticed Xu An's gaze and, thinking he was curious about where the boxed meals came from, explained, "These are boxed meals ordered by our employees from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. They cost eight yuan for three dishes and a soup, and they deliver to your door. That person just now was a delivery rider from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, specifically responsible for delivering the boxed meals to us."
"That's really good." Xu An nodded, suppressing a smile.
