The office door was pushed open with a bang, and a figure strode into the office, casually sat down on the sofa used for entertaining guests, and even poured himself a cup of tea.
ah----
After finishing his tea in one gulp, the visitor put down the cup, his gaze falling on the man sitting motionless behind the desk, and finally began to speak about business.
"The two-dollar lunch situation isn't looking good!"
"Oh, this isn't good." The man sitting behind the desk slowly put down his pen, closed the file, looked up at the uncouth intruder, and said, "You were so confident to me the other day that this 'two-dollar lunch' was a sure thing for us, a sure thing."
"Times have changed!" exclaimed Mr. Wei, one of the managers of Fengshou Farm. "Who would have thought that the winds of change would come so quickly in just two days?"
Since it concerned the future development of Harvest Farm, the man had no interest in continuing to play games with President Wei and asked directly, "Tell me, what exactly happened that caused such a drastic change in direction? Did Xu's Catering make a big move, or did Jinxiu Hotel suddenly emerge as a dark horse?"
"Hey, Xu's Catering has pulled out all the stops!" Thinking about what he'd just learned, President Wei gritted his teeth and said, seething with rage.
"The day before yesterday, when our delivery staff surveyed the residents' opinions in various communities, we received a 50% support rate! The support rate in Nanqiao Garden even exceeded 80%."
But after Xu's Catering aired an eight-minute interview on a local Shanghai TV station last night, the situation reversed. When delivery personnel inquired again today, support rates in all three communities had plummeted below 30%, which is worse than a 50% drop!
"An eight-minute interview?" the man asked, puzzled. "What did Xu's Catering do to make the local TV station in Shanghai dedicate a full eight minutes to a report on it?"
Mr. Wei seemed to have anticipated the man's reaction. Upon hearing this, he immediately took out his phone, and after a few quick taps, an eight-minute video appeared on the screen. He then handed the phone to the man, saying, "You'll understand once you've seen it."
Next, we will introduce a catering company in Haishi. Two months ago, this company appeared in a documentary jointly produced by Haishi local TV station and food safety department. It was the only company in the documentary to receive an 'excellent' rating. Its name is 'Xu's Catering'.
The reason for interviewing Xu's Catering again is that this company has accomplished another remarkable feat in just two months.
Have you noticed that in the past two months, many braised food stalls have appeared near the gates of universities in Shanghai? Most of the vendors are disabled. Yes, these stall owners are closely related to Xu's Catering! Xu's Catering has partnered with the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation.
Besides selling braised food stalls, some members of the Disabled Persons' Federation have also joined Xu's Catering as full-time employees. Now, let's interview these Disabled Persons' Federation members who work at Xu's Catering.
The scene on the screen switched from the TV station's broadcasting studio to the main entrance of Xu's Catering headquarters. The camera continued to zoom in, panning past Xu's Catering's reception area and corridors, finally capturing the view of several of Xu's Braised Food's production workshops.
The camera finally focused on the packaging workshop of Xu's Braised Food, where employees were working in an orderly manner, folding packaging bags, putting vacuum-packed braised food into the bags and sealing them, sorting and packing products according to orders, and attaching logistics slips to the orders.
After filming the packing process of this order, the camera slowly pans up, revealing a rosy, pretty face on the screen. The camera then slowly pulls back, revealing Huang Ying in the frame, with the most striking feature being the bulky wheelchair beneath her.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhong Qiu, a field reporter from Haishi TV." After the brief opening remarks, Zhong Qiu squatted down, and only after his line of sight was at Huang Ying's level did he look at Huang Ying and ask, "Hello, Ms. Huang, when did you join Xu's Catering?"
"I joined Xu's Catering at the end of September this year." Huang Ying was still a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, and answered very reservedly, lacking the liveliness she usually displays in casual conversation.
"How did you learn about Xu's Catering's job openings?"
"It was the person in charge of the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation who notified us that Xu's Catering was hiring!"
"After learning about the job opening, did you come directly to Xu's Catering for an interview?"
"No." Huang Ying pursed her lips, quickly organizing her thoughts as she cautiously replied, "There was no interview; the boss directly gave us seven job openings at the Disabled Persons' Federation."
So you're still a probationary employee?
"I've been officially hired!" Huang Ying interrupted the reporter, correcting him earnestly, "I've passed my probation period and am now a full-time employee!"
After saying that, Huang Ying seemed to guess what the reporter wanted to ask next, and with a few quick words, a huge amount of information burst forth.
"The trial period lasted one week, and all seven of us passed. The monthly salary is 2,200 yuan. We need to pack 300 orders a day, and each order exceeding 300 will be paid 0.5 yuan. Overtime on weekdays will be paid at double the normal rate, and overtime on rest days will be paid at triple the normal rate. With the basic salary, the extra pay for exceeding the target, and overtime allowance, the monthly take-home pay will be 3,000 yuan."
Hearing this, the reporter thought Huang Ying had finished speaking and was about to continue the interview when Huang Ying simply paused to catch her breath before continuing.
