Towards the end, there was even a hint of pleading in the old man's voice.
——————
The owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant felt that he had been having a lot of bad luck lately. If he really thought about it, it seemed that his bad luck started after he was inexplicably beaten up that night.
First, a customer broke their tooth while eating at his shop, and then, for some reason, his shop was targeted by thugs.
Those thugs didn't do anything like extorting protection money or vandalizing and robbing, but they would come to my shop for a meal every few days! They'd eat from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or from 5 p.m. to 7 or 8 p.m.
Every time they had a get-together, they would inevitably drink, roll dice, and shout. After encountering this scene several times in a row, the original customers stopped coming to the store, and the turnover in September dropped by two-thirds!
If these thugs were causing trouble, that would be one thing, but they were just eating! The noise was a bit loud, and the movements were a bit violent, but they really were just eating in their own restaurant!
Grass!
However, every cloud has a silver lining. While the business of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant is getting worse and worse, the business of Jinlong Braised Food is doing very well.
Since Jinlong Braised Food opened, all its business policies have been modeled after Xu's Braised Food, including dishes, prices, packaging, and even setting up a stall at the school gate. He has learned everything perfectly.
In addition, the braised food chef also came from Hongshan Town. Although the taste was slightly inferior to Xu's braised food, not everyone has eaten Xu's braised food. Some people tried Jinlong braised food first, and these people became loyal customers of Jinlong braised food.
Everything was going very smoothly, and the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant even considered following in the footsteps of Xu's Braised Food and opening two branches outside the city.
But now, a resignation letter is placed in front of the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant.
"Xiao Yong, oh no, Brother Yong, haven't I been good to you? Last month, your commission and salary totaled eight thousand yuan! I even assigned you two assistants. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll do my best to meet your needs. How about we work together to make Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant bigger and stronger?"
After rattling off a long string of words, Zhang Dezhen's brother-in-law, Xiao Yong, didn't respond at all. The owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "How about I give you a share of the profits? Two percent of the profits!"
"The hotel that contacted me is called Jinxiu Hotel. It's one of the most famous hotels in Shanghai. They even promised to provide me with a professional kitchen team and a kitchen just for me. The salary is 10,000 yuan a month, plus bonuses, commissions, performance bonuses, etc., and they'll also pay for my six insurances and one housing fund."
The contract states a three-month probationary period, and I'm still a probationary employee. Even if we follow the proper procedures, I only need to give you three days' notice. The notice has been given, but I don't want to wait three days before leaving, and you don't want me to mess things up, right?
“.”
In the end, the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yong got up and left the store, walking straight across the street to meet a man in a suit and tie. The two then left chatting and laughing.
Depend on!
After crumpling Xiao Yong's resignation certificate into a ball and throwing it into the trash can, the owner of Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant fell silent, staring at the still bubbling braised food in the kitchen.
This business is thriving, and there's no way we can give it up.
In that case, let's find a new chef to fill in! As long as it tastes good, the customers certainly won't mind a slight change in flavor!
Yes, just find a master, and then find another master!

Due to some special circumstances, the Education Bureau convened a meeting of all primary and secondary school principals in Zhuzhou City. It was noon, the break time, and everyone was chatting in small groups about everyday matters.
"Have you settled things with your school's lunch supplier? How did you resolve it?"
"Done. It's just about keeping him calm and getting him to agree to raise the price next semester."
"I've already agreed to raise the price next semester. After all, this semester has been going on for almost two months now, and it would be difficult to explain to the parents if the price were to increase suddenly."
"Yes, that's all we can do for now. We need to keep them calm for a while and think of something else during winter break. If there's really no other way, then we'll just have to let them be."
"Once is never enough. If they succeed this time, it's hard to say whether they'll continue to demand price increases."
"Sigh, what can we do? Those big suppliers look down on our small market and are unwilling to come. When the tiger is away, the monkey reigns supreme."
“.”
The principal of Tengyue Middle School didn't want to join the conversation, but after listening to what they were saying, he couldn't help himself.
Cough—cough cough—
"It's not like there's no way." After clearing his throat twice to draw everyone's attention, the principal of Tengyue Middle School said, "I've partnered with a lunch supplier who just started operating in our city. The price hasn't changed, and the lunch menu is even more balanced."
"That big supplier has entered our city, how come we haven't heard anything about it?"
"It's not a major supplier. It's just a company in Haishi, established only in June of this year. Now, it's doing very well not only in Haishi, but also in cities like Dongqing and Jiangyuan, where it has branches."
"Your school has switched to this supplier's meals? Are you sure there won't be any problems? Is it reliable?"
"This company partners with big corporations and large medical institutions, and they've even partnered with the Haikou municipal government on a 'two-dollar lunch' program, along with Harvest Farm and Jinxiu Hotel. Do you think it's reliable or not?"
"Wow, that sounds impressive! How about we go to your school tomorrow and check out the lunches this company serves?"
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow won't do!"
"Why not? It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh just by looking at it. There are only a few of us; we won't cause any trouble for you."
"The cooperation doesn't officially start until next Monday, so there's no point in you coming tomorrow!"
"Next Monday? Then let's go next Monday. Could you also order lunch for all of us?"
"Okay, no problem!"
