Chapter 328: Xu Chen Drops Out of School
After returning to Pingchuan from Chenjiawan, Li Dong started to get busy.
Sun Tao has been busy getting loans and government support recently, so he has no time to sit at the headquarters, and Li Dongyi has been in the company for several days.
In mid-April, Yuanfang Mall also entered the final debugging stage.
Li Dong stayed in the e-commerce department for two days, and all the preparations before the launch of the mall were completed.
On April 18th, Yuanfang Mall started a large-scale promotion.
For a while, Pingchuan was filled with advertisements for the Faraway Mall.
TV, newspapers, Internet, outdoor advertisements, bus stops...
According to Meng Qiping, wherever there are people in Pingchuan, there are advertisements for Yuanfang Mall, and he saw the psoriasis advertisements for Yuanfang Mall every time he went to the bathroom.
The fat man laughed while talking: "Brother Dong, how about I give you a little suggestion?"
"What advice?"
"Look, when you advertise, why don't you just add a sentence, 'Fatty Fast Food, your best choice'?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes, he was too lazy to answer, and asked instead: "How is your fast food restaurant doing?"
Meng Qiping smiled and said, "Isn't this just about to report to you? The fast food restaurant has opened, and it had a trial operation yesterday."
Li Dong was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"Then what do you think? Brother, I run a fast food restaurant, not a big hotel. I built a storefront, without decoration, and I took over the front owner's staff and chef together. I opened the business the next day after the contract was signed."
Li Dong asked, "How is business?"
The fat man said helplessly: "It's so-so, it's worse than I imagined. It was put into trial operation yesterday, and it sold for 600 yuan at noon and night, and the net profit was less than 100 yuan."
"It's not bad, after all, it's just opened. When there are more regular customers in the future, the business will naturally improve."
"Yes, let me lend you a good word!"
The fat man laughed, and then asked, "Are you busy at night?"
Li Dong glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter? Your fast food restaurant has just opened, and you can't work hard in the store. Why are you here?"
Meng Qiping scratched his head and smiled and said, "Didn't you let me become a small boss with your help? I was very busy at the opening yesterday, so I didn't have time to treat you to dinner. I took some time today and wanted to treat you Have a meal."
"Forget it, you are busy with your work, why are you being polite to me, you can eat anytime."
Meng Qiping said embarrassedly: "Let's have a meal together, Nan Nan has told me several times, if you don't go, I will have the nerve to go back."
Li Dong sensed something, and tentatively asked, "Where do you invite me to eat?"
The fat man laughed and said, "Isn't it that we also have our own shop, and finally became the boss, so naturally we can't take advantage of others."
Li Dong scolded immediately: "You invite me to your fast food restaurant for fast food? Are you embarrassed? Do you have the face to say this?"
Meng Qiping said aggrievedly: "What's wrong with the fast food? Don't worry about eating your own food. Let me tell you, my food is so clean that even a big restaurant may not be as good as it. Later I will ask the chef to cook two appetizers for us and keep them safe." It’s more comfortable than eating in a big restaurant.”
Li Dong smiled helplessly, looked at the time and said, "Okay, then wait for me for a while."
Then Li Dong dealt with the documents again. It was not until around 6:30 that Li Dong got up and said, "Let's go. When you are busy at night, there is no place to turn around. You have to treat me to a big meal."
Meng Qiping sighed: "If there is really no place to sit, that's fine. I'm also happy to have a big meal. But I don't think you should count on it."
...
The fast food restaurant opened by Meng Qiping is on the street next to Jiangda South Gate.
This guy didn't want to be lazy, he just took the name of "Fatty Fast Food", and was laughed at by Li Dong for a while.
It was almost seven o'clock when the two arrived at the store, and the peak meal time had just passed.
Cheng Nan just happened to be idle, and there was still sweat on his forehead.
Seeing Li Dong and the others enter the door, Cheng Nan hurriedly said: "Here we come, sit down!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and greeted the chef in the kitchen: "Master Wang, hurry up and cook some appetizers.
Use those ingredients I just prepared. "
"Okay!" The chef in the back kitchen responded.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said: "It's a bit like a boss lady. It seems that the environment cultivates people. It's only a day. You are a good boss lady."
Cheng Nan blushed slightly and said, "What nonsense, what kind of proprietress, just a fast food restaurant, I'm just a handyman."
Li Dong didn't tease her anymore, he pressed his hands and said, "Don't be too busy, let's sit together, seeing you look like this, you must not have eaten."
Cheng Nan said: "I just took a break, business is pretty good today."
Li Dong glanced at the words, there were about eleven or twelve small tables in the fast food restaurant, and there were still four or five tables occupied.
It seems that the business is going well, after all, it is already seven o'clock, and students usually eat earlier.
Seeing this, Meng Qiping also asked, "How much did you sell at night?"
Cheng Nan made some calculations and said with a smile: "There are about fifty or sixty servings to take away, and the same number is eaten here."
Meng Qiping was a little excited and said: "That's not bad, there are more than one hundred copies, and five or six hundred copies were sold tonight."
"Well, almost."
After Cheng Nan finished speaking, he said to Li Dong: "Look, I've made you laugh. We both feel ashamed to say this in front of you."
Li Dong said with a smile: "It's not shameful to use one's own labor to earn money."
Several people chatted and laughed for a while, and the waiter brought over two dishes.
Cheng Nan opened a bottle of white wine for the two of them, served it to Li Dongman, and said embarrassingly: "Li Dong, it's really neglectful to ask you to come to our place for dinner. Next time, next time when Yuhan comes back, we invite you Have a big meal."
Before Li Dong could make a sound, Meng Qiping waved his hands and said, "Come on, Brother Dong has never eaten any big meals. The big meals in our eyes may look like fast food."
Li Dong scolded with a smile: "If you can't bear it, you can't bear it. Why use me as an excuse to see how stingy you are."
After speaking, several people burst out laughing.
The three of them chatted while drinking wine.
While chatting, Meng Qiping talked about things in school.
Meng Qiping's tone was a little emotional, and he said to Li Dong: "Brother Dong, there is probably something you don't know yet."
"Nonsense, I haven't been to school for a long time, what's the matter, don't keep it a secret."
"Chenzi dropped out of school."
"Who? Xu Chen?" Li Dong asked in surprise.
Meng Qiping nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's more than that, I'm afraid you won't believe it, why do you think he dropped out of school?"
"Tell me."
Meng Qiping was about to say something, but Cheng Nan gave him a stare.
Li Dong also saw it, and said with a smile: "Why, is there any big secret?"
Cheng Nan smiled wryly, and sighed softly: "It's not a secret, it's been spread all over the school, it's just that it's a bit ugly to say." (To be continued.)
