It was 1:50, ten minutes before Xu's Fast Food Restaurant closed.
However, Xu An needed to go to Elsa Clothing Company to sign a contract today, so he could only entrust the store and his family to Xu Heping and set off for Elsa Clothing Company himself.
The receptionist remembered Xu An and was pleasantly surprised to see him.
These days, the news of partnering with a fast food restaurant to provide employee meals has been circulating throughout the company. After learning that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was also among the candidates, everyone was eagerly hoping that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant would be selected.
The fact that Xu An is here means that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has been selected!
The receptionist, all smiles, led Xu An to the conference room, opened the door to let him in, and then closed the door before leaving.
As soon as Xu An entered the conference room, he saw a burly middle-aged man sitting at the conference table. The man's eyes scanned Xu An from head to toe before he slowly asked, "Which store are you the owner of? I've never seen you before."
Although the man had a smiling face, he gave Xu An a cold, venomous feeling.
"Just a small roadside shop," Xu An replied casually, pulling out the chair opposite the man and sitting down.
Upon hearing Xu An's reply, the middle-aged man's gaze grew even colder, while his smile became even brighter.
"Boss, you're so young and promising! You've already secured a deal for the company at such a young age. Your future is limitless." The middle-aged man unscrewed the mineral water bottle and made a toasting gesture towards Xu An: "Let's cooperate more, exchange ideas more, and communicate more in the future, haha."
"Haha." Xu An chuckled twice in agreement, but didn't reply.
The middle-aged man across from me is Ren Peng, the owner of Yipinxiang chain fast food restaurant.
Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant was founded in 2006. After six years of operation, it has opened twelve branches in Haishi and is a well-known fast food restaurant in Haishi.
The meal delivery service was initiated by Elsa Apparel Company. After learning that the company wanted to select two fast food restaurants to cooperate with, Ren Peng, thinking that the benefits should not go to outsiders, recommended his younger brother's Fukelai Fast Food Restaurant.
The brothers had planned to join forces and take over all of the company's orders.
Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, snatched the peach, and kicked his own brother out of the game.
Based on his years of experience in the industry, he judged that there must be someone behind Xu's Fast Food Restaurant!
I just don't know how powerful the person behind this is, or if I was just chosen to be a foil for them.
Both Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant and Xu's Fast Food Restaurant prepared very complete materials, including all kinds of receipts and documents.
After the person in charge checked the documents and found no problems, he handed the two contracts to the two individuals respectively. The contract terms were exactly the same and there was no difference between them.
Xu An carefully read through the contract, and after confirming that there were no unfair terms, he signed and pressed his fingerprint, thus concluding the cooperation.
After the person in charge left with the contract, another person entered the conference room. It turned out to be Luo Min, who was responsible for following up and coordinating with the two fast food restaurants.
After Luo Min entered the conference room, she playfully winked at him, then her expression turned serious.
"My name is Luo Min, and I'm in charge of ordering and coordinating the boxed meals. Please add my contact information and let me know if you have any questions." With that, Luo Min handed two business cards to Ren Peng and Xu An respectively.
"I will send you the boxed meal order quantities for the second day via email at 6 PM every day, and I will also notify you on QQ. Please check your messages promptly."
Luo Min rummaged through the files on the desktop, pulled out three A4 sheets of paper, handed one to Xu An and two to Ren Peng: "This is the boxed lunch purchase order for tomorrow."
Xu An took the A4 paper, which had a table printed on it, recording in detail who ordered which dish, which department, and what dishes were ordered.
Looking down to the last column, and then at the number in front of the name—52—fifty-two people from Elsa Clothing Company chose Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Looking up at the opposite side, he found that Ren Peng was also looking up at him, and the two of them gave each other a fake smile.
"I have a total of 193 boxed meal orders, while that person across the street with connections only has less than 80? Their backing is a bit weak. Looks like I was overthinking things; Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is just there to overshadow me."
Ren Peng's smile became more and more sincere, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away.
After leaving the conference room, Xu An said goodbye to Luo Min and the receptionist, walked confidently to the electric tricycle, took out the key, turned the engine, and rode away.
Seeing this, Ren Peng relaxed even more.
It's probably some distant relative who came to us asking to contract the staff meals, and the higher-ups only gave it to him out of politeness.
Sigh, I actually worried about such a weakling for so long. I'm really getting more and more senile.
On the way back, Xu An pondered whether expanding the store or buying a small truck was more important.
After much thought, the final conclusion was that expanding the store was more important.
Without a small truck, it just means a couple more trips, but if the store can't be fully occupied, everyone can't work, and if orders can't be fulfilled, it means financial losses!
As the number of orders and the amount of ingredients purchased increased, the originally spacious kitchen became somewhat cramped, and ingredients and people could only be chosen one of them; the two could not coexist.
In order to make room for activities, the second floor has been cleared out and used as a warehouse. The freezers have also been moved to the second floor, and the fruits and vegetables will be placed there first after they arrive.
However, all these commonly used items are placed on the second floor, so you have to keep running up and down to get them when you need them, which is very inconvenient.
