No sooner had Xu An left than staff from various departments came out to collect their meals.
At Luo Min's prompting, everyone first looked at the boxed meals from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, which had already been counted.
As everyone pulled out the two newly printed lists and was about to choose their colleagues' boxed lunches from the lists, they discovered that the boxed lunches from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant had already been distributed.
One skeptical person untied the bag, took out the boxed meals inside, and compared them one by one. He found that they were indeed pre-separated and not just a hoax.
This Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is really good.
The group took their own department's boxed lunches and stood aside waiting for Yipinxiang to complete the handover.
“…161, 162, 163.” Luo Min finally finished ordering the boxed lunches, a fine layer of sweat appearing on his forehead: “Alright, please keep the receipts safe.”
The people waiting nearby were already impatient, and as soon as they heard Luo Min say it was done, they rushed forward.
The boxed meals at Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant have also been sorted, but their sorting method is different from that of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. They are sorted by dishes, and each box contains different meals.
Everyone was picking out their boxed meals from the various boxes according to the list, but with so many people and so much activity, things started out well-organized but soon became chaotic.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is the boxed lunch I ordered. Go get it from the box. Why are you taking mine?"
"Could you please bring me two boxes of poached chicken?"
"Who ordered roast duck rice just now? Is anyone there? If no one is, I'll put it back."
"Don't push, the soup will spill..."
Luo Min was completely bewildered. It was her first time organizing such a task, and she hadn't considered many details. She hadn't expected it to lead to such a chaotic situation. Strictly speaking, this was a mistake on her part.
"I haven't heard much about that Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, but they do a pretty good job."
"Yes, I just saw the takeout boxes from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. Each box says who it is and what's inside, so there's no need to worry about people picking and choosing."
"This restaurant chain is called Yipinxiang, how can they be so sloppy?"
"..."
Yes! Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's method is excellent!
Luo Min took out her phone and snapped several pictures of the takeout boxed lunch from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. She then opened QQ, opened the chat window of Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant, and sent the pictures she had just taken.
"Hello, could you please pack and categorize the boxed meals according to this standard tomorrow? Thank you for your cooperation, and we wish you prosperous business."
Ren Peng, who was driving, heard his phone notification and checked it during a break at a red light.
"What the hell? So many demands! Do you expect me to feed you all in a few days?!"
Design Department.
When the company informed employees that meals would be provided by Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant and Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, 99% of the people in the department chose the more famous Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant.
But there is always one exception, and Duan Yuwen is that one percent exception.
The ordering notices issued by the administration were a poster for Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant, but for Xushi Fast Food Restaurant, it was a web link!
Online ordering—this is a new thing I've only ever heard of in news reports. Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is pretty trendy!
Curiosity led her to click on the webpage link, which redirected her to a simple, even somewhat rudimentary, webpage.
The page features descriptions of the daily boxed meals offered throughout the week, with each dish accompanied by a picture that clearly shows what the dish looks like.
Tomorrow's lunchbox will have a choice between salt-baked chicken leg and glutinous rice balls as the main dish, and side dishes of home-style tofu and steamed egg. The soup of the day will be mung bean soup. They all look pretty good in the photos!
Why don't you give this one a try?
After choosing lunch, I found that the boxed meal only cost eight yuan, while the company's subsidy was nine yuan.
We can't save the company money!
My eyes suddenly fell on a horizontal line of text below the menu, followed by an "Add to Cart" button.
A refreshing and tangy treat to beat the summer heat; add just 1 yuan to get Haiquan apple cider vinegar.
One yuan, that makes exactly nine yuan. I've decided on Haiquan apple cider vinegar!
12:07.
The two colleagues who went out to pick up their meals returned looking disheveled. They put the boxed lunches on the table, went back to their seats to find a change of clothes, and hurriedly left the office.
Duan Yuwen was the first to walk to the table. She thought it would take a while to find it, but she didn't expect to see a plastic bag with the words "Design Department" in big letters on it as soon as she walked over. It seemed to contain a boxed lunch.
Reaching out to untie the bag, I found it really was my lunchbox inside. I weighed it in my hand and thought, wow, it's quite heavy.
While others were still searching through piles of boxed lunches for theirs, Duan Yuwen had already sat down at her desk, ready to eat.
The colleague sitting next to Duan Yuwen happily carried her lunchbox back to her seat, tore open her chopsticks, and was about to start eating when her gaze suddenly swept over the lunchbox on Duan Yuwen's table.
I glanced at Duan Yuwen's lunchbox, then at my own; I looked at Duan Yuwen, then at myself; I looked...
The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off. How come that other person's lunchbox had three dishes! And such a big bowl of soup! And a can of drink! Why was her lunchbox so lavish!
"Yuwen, did you order the deluxe set meal? How much is it?"
"No, it's just a regular boxed meal. This boxed meal costs nine yuan."
Duan Yuwen picked up a piece of salt-baked chicken. The skin was golden, the meat was delicate and tender, and the juices slid quickly down the chicken, forming a crystal-clear droplet of oil at the end.
