"Hey, you go ahead, leave this to me." Li Xiuming said after coming to his senses.
"Director Li has been promoted?" Su Tao congratulated with a smile. From what the two said, Su Tao knew that Li Xiuming's appearance here was not accidental. He was now the deputy director here.
Li Xiuming was previously the factory director in Yun County, and now he was the deputy director. It sounded like a demotion, but the deputy director of the Jing City Printing Factory was no match for the director of Yun County. Whether it was the factory's size, the authority it held, or the benefits it enjoyed, they were all significantly higher than before.
"Yes, it's all thanks to you two." Li Xiuming said with a smile. To be honest, these two were really a blessing to him.
If they hadn't sold me the college entrance examination books, how could I have seized the opportunity, stood out from the many printing factory leaders, and gotten the chance to be promoted.
"No, it's your own creation." Although Su Tao sold the book to him, the fact that he was able to get the news in advance and print a large number of copies also showed the creativity and courage of Director Li.
After all, at the time, the G exam hadn't been confirmed yet, but there was a hint that it might be possible. He dared to print a large number of books ahead of time, a boldness and decisiveness not often possessed by ordinary people. Imagine what would have happened to these books if the exam hadn't been resumed?
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared and courageous. I believe that Director Li could get the news, and people in other printing factories should have gotten the news too. But others did not act. Director Li did what others did not dare to do, and so he was the one who stood out in the end.
"Why are you here in Jing City?" Director Li asked. Li Xiuming was a little surprised to see Su Tao and He Chuan, but not surprised. The two of them probably appeared here for the college entrance examination.
He had felt that the two were extraordinary. How could anyone get the news of the G test recovery in advance? He had spent a lot of money and a lot of favors to get this information.
"We took the college entrance examination and were admitted to a university in Beijing, so we moved to the city." Su Tao briefly explained the reason.
Li Xiuming heard it and realized it was true. Indeed, printing college entrance exam books and review materials six months in advance was a big deal. If someone like that couldn't pass, who else could?
"Congratulations to you. What are you here for today?" Li Xiuming brought the topic back to the point.
"Oh, that's right. I want to print a batch of flyers and menus." Su Tao handed the manuscript in his hand to Li Xiuming.
Li Xiuming took the manuscript and carefully read it page by page. He asked in shock, "Did you do all this?"
Su Tao nodded, "What? Is there any problem?"
"No, I just think it's so well done, with both pictures and text." He had never seen such a flyer before.
Li Xiuming looked at the first sheet of paper. The words "Taochuanfang Grand Opening" were prominently displayed in large, bold font at the top. Below that, smaller print outlined the special offer: 40% off all dishes on April 10th, 25% off all dishes on April 10th, and 20% off all dishes on April 10th. Around the perimeter of the flyer were simple drawings of food and people, creating a cute and vivid image.
Li Xiuming looked down and saw that the next few sheets of paper contained brief descriptions of the dishes, with prices listed next to them. There was a large blank space under each dish, resulting in only four dishes listed on an A4-sized sheet of paper.
Li Xiuming asked in confusion, "What is this? Why is there such a large empty area with nothing written on it?"
Su Tao smiled and explained, "I'm going to paste photos of the dishes below."
There was no other way. Color printing technology was not yet available, so Su Tao could only print simple layouts. Even complex patterns were impossible to print. Su Tao could only come up with this method for making menus: simply describe the name and content of the dish, and paste a photo of the food underneath to give customers a more intuitive understanding of the dish.
