Tsk tsk! Xu An glanced at it briefly before turning his attention back to setting up his stall. It seems that apart from Wang Fulong and his companion, everyone else from the Jinxiu Hotel who came here to work was forced into it – a case of demanding the impossible.
"Manager (Manager Wang)!" Two surprised voices rang in Xu An's ears. He looked up and saw that it was the two people at the next stall who were looking at Wang Fulong and his companion with joy as they walked over.
"Manager, you couldn't bear to leave us, so you came here to help! Thank you so much!" The two hurriedly came out from behind the stall and went straight to Wang Fulong and his companion. They grabbed their arms and tried to pull them back to the stall, but they couldn't budge them no matter how hard they tried. One of the two turned to look at Wang Fulong in confusion.
Cough cough!
Wang Fulong clenched his left fist and coughed lightly twice to cover his embarrassment. As he withdrew his hand, he explained, "I came here to help out at the new company, not to visit you guys."
The two people opposite him froze for a moment, then continued to try to get closer to him, saying, "Where is Manager Wang working now? We all thought Manager Wang was very capable. Look, he just left one job and he's already joined another."
These two men were previously Wang Fulong's subordinates, but their relationship was merely that of superior and subordinate. After the new supervisor joined the company, they didn't even exchange greetings. Now, this barrage of flattery was making Wang Fulong somewhat irritated.
"Haha, you two are joking. I've never been a supervisor, so I don't admit it! Besides, I'm not working for any big hotel or company right now, just a regular roadside shop. It's nothing compared to your jobs at a big hotel." Wang Fulong quickly pulled his hand back, wiping it on his clothes as if trying to wipe away the bad luck.
"Manager Wang, don't joke around. In everyone's hearts, you are the manager." The man persisted, "There are only a few hotels here, and apart from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, which is just trying to take advantage of the situation, every hotel is decent."
At this point, the man seemed to realize something, looked at Wang Fulong incredulously, slowly pointed his right hand at Xu An, who was standing at the stall smiling at them, and asked in a trembling voice, "Wang, Manager Wang, you wouldn't be working at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant now, would you?"
Wang Fulong's lips curled up, revealing eight teeth, and he nodded slowly but firmly, saying, "It's Xu's Fast Food Restaurant."
It's unclear exactly how the conversation ended, but the four of them went back to their respective places, avoiding each other's gaze with remarkable tacit understanding, as if they were strangers.
Starting at 11:20, customers began to arrive one after another. Those who had previously dined at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant almost unhesitatingly chose to eat there again.
Lu Ziyue was left behind by Xu An to help sell boxed lunches, while Wang Fulong was entrusted with the important task of negotiating with companies that were willing to cooperate with Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
That's right. After learning yesterday that Xu's Fast Food also delivers meals to company employees, many people passed this information on to the company's administration department and received a reply saying they would contact them. Today, they all came to learn more about Xu's Fast Food.
Peng Kaiqun also received help from the administrative department to contact and collect information. Just as it was 11 o'clock, he stopped visiting the exhibition and went straight to the basement level to the Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's booth.
"Boss, our company is quite interested in your employee meal delivery service. Could you tell us more about it?" Peng Kaiqun asked politely, but he wasn't speaking to Xu An; he was speaking to Wang Fulong.
Wang Fulong wanted to explain, but Xu An subtly shook his head at him and gestured for him to communicate with Peng Kaiqun about the matter.
Since the boss didn't mind, Wang Fulong stopped dwelling on this small misunderstanding. With a friendly smile, he accompanied Peng Kaiqun to the dining area, found a table and chairs, and started a question-and-answer session.
This morning, Xu An had introduced the brief history and business scope of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. On the way to the convention center, he reviewed the shop information Xu An had compiled. Wang Fulong was able to answer most of the questions fluently and without any mistakes.
As their questioning continued, more and more people gathered to watch, and Wang Fulong's mood improved, his voice becoming increasingly loud and impassioned. In Wang Fulong's eyes, the people before him were no longer people, but walking banknotes.
Xu An looked at the growing crowd around Wang Fulong, a slight smile playing on his lips. Even if only two or three out of these dozen or so people succeeded, it would still be a very good start.
Ring ring—ring ring—
The phone screen on the table suddenly lit up, and the caller ID showed that the caller was Uncle Dongliang.
