"Sigh." The coworker sighed, "Don't even mention it. The Delicious Restaurant has closed down. Now that's the kitchen of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, and it's not open to the public."
Or we could go to another restaurant. It's just that the price is a little higher, the portion size is a little smaller, and there aren't as many dishes.
When Qiao Xingguo turned back again, he found that other fast food restaurants were also filled with workers waiting to eat.
Turning my head to look at the dazzling array of stalls at the entrance of the construction site, and then at the Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, which was packed with people.
Qiao Xingguo gritted his teeth and squeezed into the crowd to wait for the people dining inside to come out.
Liu Tong and his companion sat there eating and laughing. They rummaged through the surrounding tables twice within half an hour before gradually slowing down.
When the two of them finished eating and drinking and got up to walk down from the second floor, they were startled by the scene in front of them.
A huge crowd stood outside the shop, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at every table and every customer inside, looking as if they wanted to pick and choose who to eat.
At that moment, Qiao Xingguo saw Liu Tong and his companion coming down the stairs. Before he could even think, he darted forward, passing between them and leaving a trail of breeze before settling onto the still-warm stool.
2:30 PM, Jinlong Fast Food Restaurant.
Two men sat opposite the middle-aged man with squinty eyes, asking with puzzlement, "Old Sun, our association has only been established for two days, and the profits are already pretty good. Look at my three shops combined, I make almost a thousand yuan a day. There's no need for me to go out on my own."
"Old He! Are you really confused or just pretending?" Old Sun, with his squinty eyes, pointed at Old He's forehead in the air. "You've all been in the shop today, haven't you gone out to check?"
Both of them shook their heads.
“I visited more than a dozen construction sites under Xuguang Real Estate. Guess what I saw?” Old Sun, with his squinty eyes, asked mysteriously.
"What?"
"I saw that Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant has opened three new stores, right near these construction sites. Don't you think that's a coincidence?"
"No way," the two said, somewhat incredulously. "We just talked about everyone yesterday..."
"You guys!" Old Sun, with his squinty eyes, pointed at the two of them in the air again and said slowly, "You actually believed him? What nonsense about construction sites only generating short-term profits! Short-term profits?!"
As he spoke, Old Sun, with his squinty eyes, raised his voice.
“Those construction sites are either residential or commercial areas, and the locations are all very good! After they're built, people will live there and open shops. People need to eat, drink, and use the facilities, so they need to consume! If it were really just short-term profit, why would he open three new shops near these construction sites? He's just fooling us!” He paused, then changed the subject: “We don’t have time to build a pot and cook meat right here, but we can take the pot over there and eat some meat and drink some soup while it’s hot.”
"How so?" The two of them immediately became curious.
"Today I not only saw that old rascal Ren Peng, but also that kid from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. I even saw their restaurant's sign at the entrance of three construction sites. Don't get me wrong, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant didn't open a new store, so they set up a stall! A boxed lunch stall! That's not too difficult, right? We can do it too!"
The three locked eyes, and each saw a hint of interest in the other's gaze.
Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant.
Ren Peng sent a message to the manager of one of his branch stores of the Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant.
"We're recruiting five people for a field job tomorrow, selling boxed lunches at a stall. The field job subsidy is fifty yuan. Please provide your names so I can make the final selection."
The office of Jinxiu Hotel.
"How are the sales at the construction sites today?"
"Very good! We visited nine construction sites in total and sold 1,072 boxed meals, averaging 120 meals per site. Sales were particularly good at some sites. We'll increase the number of boxed meals tomorrow; conservatively, we estimate 1,500 will be no problem!"
"Good, keep it up. Still no news from the expo?"
"Not yet, and other hotels haven't received any further updates either. However, the start date of the expo is not far off, so we expect to hear back soon."
"Okay, keep it up and don't slack off. As long as you secure this contract for the Expo, you'll be promoted to logistics supervisor."
"yes!"
As he walked out of the office, the man muttered to himself, "They always say I'll get a promotion, but it's been over half a month and there's still no news!"
