At 7:50 a.m. the next morning, after two days, everyone in the kitchen was back to their jobs and Xu An no longer needed to supervise them. Xu An returned to Store No. 1 and sat behind the cashier to sort and cut out today's takeout orders for Liang Dani and the others to use later.
Just then, Wang Fulong and his two companions, one tall and two short, one fat and two thin, appeared before Xu An.
"Boss, we're here to work. Where do we clock in?" Wang Fulong rubbed his hands together and smiled, his face showing a very natural expression. He didn't mind at all that the boss called Xu An, a junior.
"We don't need to clock in here yet. Everyone can just work according to the designated hours," Xu An replied, then led the three of them on a tour of the three shops, explaining the general situation of each shop as they walked.
As Wang Fulong listened, he suddenly noticed something was amiss. After Xu An finished his explanation, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, from what you just said, you've only participated in two bidding processes, and both times the companies or their staff came to you on their own initiative?"
“Yes, Elsa Clothing Company was introduced by a regular customer. The Expo was approached by the organizing committee staff; otherwise, I wouldn’t have known.” Xu An nodded and explained, his expression very calm, seemingly unaware that there was anything amiss.
But after hearing this, Wang Fulong's expression was a kaleidoscope of emotions. He even had an impulse to grab Xu An's shoulders and shake him violently, screaming, "Why! Why me! Ahhhhh!"
It took Wang Fulong a full three seconds to suppress the jumbled thoughts in his mind. He stared at Xu An with a complicated expression and asked again, "Boss, you really don't know that there's a special website where you can check these bidding information? For example, right now, there are thirty-seven companies, fourteen primary and secondary schools, and nine social organizations in Haishi that are bidding."
If special effects could be displayed in reality, Xu An's expression at this moment would definitely be one of petrification followed by a cracking.
Surprisingly, there's a dedicated website for checking bidding information!
This is what it means to be completely different from others in a different field! This is what it means to be a professional! This is it! This time, the hoe was swung well, skillfully, brilliantly! If Wang Fulong hadn't joined Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, Xu An doesn't know how long it would have taken to learn about this industry-leading barrier.
Xu An suddenly stepped forward, tightly grasped Wang Fulong's hands, and said with utmost sincerity, "Brother Wang, from now on, you guys will be in charge of this bidding process! Let's not mince words, let's calculate based on 200 boxed lunches per bid, 200 yuan for three months, 400 yuan for six months, 800 yuan for a year, and so on, with no upper limit!"
This time, it was Wang Fulong's turn to grasp Xu An's hands in return. His expression was even more devout than Xu An's, and he replied firmly and loudly, "Yes, boss!"
With a boss like this, a job like this, and bonuses like this, even if the environment is a bit bad, even if there are a few employees, even if the store isn't very well-known, even if... well, anyway, it can be summed up in one sentence: just with these bonuses, Wang Fulong can definitely bring in two or three projects a month, and strive to make his bonuses exceed his salary as soon as possible!
He couldn't help but think of the order from the Bauhinia Garden construction site. It was a huge order for a year, providing 652 meals a day! According to Xu An's calculation, that would be 2,608 yuan, equivalent to half a month's salary!
"Following the right boss will make you rich!" Despite being in a humble little shop, Wang Fulong could already imagine a bright future beckoning him. However, Xu An's next words plunged him into despair.
"By the way, Brother Wang, since the computer won't be ready until this afternoon, you two can come with us to the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center this noon to set up a stall and sell boxed lunches. The store will reimburse your taxi fares, is that alright?"
Emotionally, Wang Fulong wanted to say no; but rationally, he seemed to have no choice. There wasn't even a computer yet, and the boss had everything meticulously organized in the store. As a new employee, was he supposed to let the boss do all the work while he slacked off in the back?
Thinking about the bonus Xu An had just promised, Wang Fulong and his apprentice Lu Ziyue exchanged a glance and gritted their teeth, agreeing: "No problem!"
Wang Fulong and Tang Wen had already finished arranging their work. Xu An turned to Tang Wen and began assigning her tasks: "Currently, the store is almost completely lacking in internet promotion. You need to come up with a detailed plan for this. Also, the fourth Xu's Fast Food restaurant is about to open, but this store specializes in braised food. We've already commissioned an advertising company to produce an advertising video, which will be broadcast during prime time on a local TV station in Shanghai. I've compiled and printed out all the relevant materials. Familiarize yourself with them today, and you'll be responsible for following up on this from now on."
Tang Wen nodded, took the documents Xu An handed her, and returned to the office on the second floor of Store No. 2. She was slightly surprised to see the air conditioner hanging on the wall when she entered the office. She had mentally prepared herself to be with a fan yesterday, but she hadn't expected the boss to have specially installed air conditioning for her and the others.
The boss is a bit young, but he's very considerate in his work.
Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center.
Xu An and Wang Datou were the first to arrive at the venue in their insulated food truck. The organizing committee had provided three small carts for the vendors to use. Xu An and Wang Datou each drove one cart, and in one trip, they transported all five hundred boxed meals to the stalls on the basement level.
Next to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was still the Jinxiu Hotel's stall, but unlike yesterday, the people running it had changed. The two newcomers clearly had no experience running a stall; they were flustered and looked quite disheveled. There was even a boxed lunch that had been overturned on the ground, with soup splattered everywhere.
