"Huh. After I said it, I really felt much more comfortable."
Luo Xiyun heaved a sigh of relief, turned to look at Chen Xu who was holding the steering wheel, and said, "I know, I don't really blame you for this, I just feel a little uncomfortable, if we knew each other earlier, this matter would not have happened. "
Chen Xu sighed speechlessly, it's not just about this matter
Yang Jinxia's matter must not be over yet. Plus the later Bai Jinxuan.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if the three of them met together.
He could only hope that that day would never come to pass.
Chen Xu drove home, picked up his parents and Chen Ziqi, and went straight to the hotel. When they arrived, the banquet was about to begin.
His cousin's relatives on both sides were invited, and the Chen family had more people, sitting at three tables. Luo Xiyun became the most popular person at the three tables, and everyone greeted her and Chen Xu cordially.
Chen Xu didn't ask her what gifts she bought, but judging from the enthusiasm of her relatives, it should be more expensive.
After the banquet, when he got home, Chen Xu dragged his parents into the room to discuss, saying that he would call them 200,000 yuan tomorrow, asking them to pay off part of the debt first, and call them the rest in two months.
After Chen Xin heard his words, his expression became serious, "Xiao Xu, although our family is poor, we must have ambition. Your girlfriend gave everyone gifts, so I don't have much to say. But we can't spend other people's money. ,do you know?"
Zeng Li also said, "Your father is right. No matter how good your relationship is, you must distinguish money matters. No matter how rich her family is, it is her business. You can't treat it as your own money. You can't make mistakes on this point." Confused."
"Don't worry, I can take care of it. I earned the 200,000 yuan all by myself." Only then did Chen Xu tell them in detail about his resignation and opening of a store.
Chen Xin and Zeng Li looked at each other in dismay.
"You child, you didn't discuss such a big matter with us beforehand." Zeng Li complained.
Chen Xu said, "I just don't want you to worry."
Zeng Li said a few more words to him, and finally couldn't help asking, "Is it really that profitable to open a noodle restaurant? Can you earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a month?"
"It did happen last month." Chen Xu said.
"This..." Zeng Li couldn't help but look at her husband.
Chen Xin took out the cigarette case from his pocket, paused, then stuffed it back immediately, and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask for a day off and come with you to see your noodle shop."
"I'll go too," Zeng Li said.
Chen Xin wanted to say something, but held back.
Chen Xu originally thought that at the end of the year, he would tell them that the debt would be paid off in one go. Unfortunately, plans did not change quickly. Luo Xiyun came back this time and brought so many gifts, some people must be muttering in their hearts, thinking that his girlfriend is so rich and owes so much money, etc.
Maybe there will be some gossip.
He knows that parents are very concerned about these gossips. He didn't want to make it difficult for them, so he simply took out the money and paid back part of it first. The rest, including interest, can be paid off after two months.
Only in this way, the plan to buy a car will be postponed.
... ... ...
Early the next morning, Chen Xu was driving, Luo Xiyun was in the co-pilot, and his parents and Chen Ziqi were in the back, just like a family outing.
After arriving at the noodle shop, Luo Xiyun's company still had something to do, so they left first. Before leaving, they told Chen Xu's parents that they would come to pick them up for dinner at night.
As soon as she left, Zeng Li couldn't help being curious and asked, "What does Xi Yun do?"
Chen Ziqi finally found the opportunity and rushed to say, "Second Aunt, you don't know yet. My sister-in-law used to be Chen Xu's immediate boss. The director of their company is now the vice president with an annual salary of one million."
Zeng Li was startled, "Annual salary is one million? She is so young..."
"You don't understand this. If you want to be a company leader now, you have to look at your background first, your education background, and your ability. My sister-in-law is not bad in all three."
As Chen Ziqi spoke, the subject changed, "Of course, Chen Xu is not bad now. The noodle restaurant will open a branch soon, and more and more branches will be opened in the future. Maybe they will become a chain brand and become a billionaire."
Zeng Li was right when she thought about it. Now that her son runs a noodle shop, he can earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month, which is not much different.
She knows her son very well, and knows that he seldom speaks big words, let alone deceive them with such things.
However, she still felt a little uneasy. Luo Xiyun was too generous with the gift, so she asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, what does Xiyun's family do?"
"I haven't asked her, but she should have a certain status." Chen Xu can guess some, but he can't tell his parents clearly, so he can only give them a little vaccination.
"Come on, let's go to the store."
It will be almost noon, and there are quite a lot of people in the noodle restaurant.
"Boss, you're back." Aunt Zhang saw him from afar and greeted him loudly.
Seeing that the store was almost full, Chen Xin said, "Just look around here for a while, and don't get in the way of doing business."
Chen Xu had no choice but to stand outside with him.
Chen Xin observed outside for a while, and seeing that there were many customers in the store, he nodded and said, "Come on, let's go to your rented house and have a look."
So, Chen Xu took them back to the rented house first.
Chen Xin and his wife stayed here for one night, and took a taxi back early the next morning. Chen Xu was not asked to drive him, saying that it would be troublesome to borrow a car, and it would be tiring to run around.
...
In the next week, Chen Xu devoted his energy to the decoration of the new store, and Xu Xiaoxiao also attached great importance to his work. Every day after work, he ran over to stare at it. Soon, the new store was installed.
On the opening day, Chen Xu asked Dai Zixin to help promote it in Moments. As a result, there were a lot of people on the first day, and Luo Xiyun even brought people from the entire department to join him.
Several friends of Dai Zixin also brought a large group of friends over.
There is also a group of old customers such as Yanqing, all of whom have come.
It was only then that Chen Xu realized that before he knew it, his social circle was much larger than before, and he had quite a few friends who could be counted as friends.
The noodle restaurant in the second branch is more than double the size of the old one and can accommodate more customers. The turnover on the first day broke the record of the old store.
Fortunately, Chen Xu had recruited enough people in advance, and the five employees in the new store were busy running around. Due to their inexperience, they made many mistakes. Fortunately, with him personally watching, there were no major problems.
However, the turnover on the first day was not normal, and it was impossible for Luo Xiyun to bring the whole department to cheer every day. Have to watch for a while.
Now he has completely handed over the old store to Aunt Zhou and the others, and recruited an additional employee there, who can work shifts. He himself has been watching in the new store, and only goes to the old store every night to talk to Aunt Zhou.
For a whole month, he was busy with business in the store, and only had dinner with Luo Xiyun a few times. The main reason is that she is also very busy during this period. The company's online channel has just been opened, and she is one of the main persons in charge. There are countless things piled up on her, and she works more than ten hours a day. Sometimes there is no time to eat.
...
It is already June and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
This morning, just after seven o'clock, Chen Xu came to the branch as usual, and the two employees from the morning shift were already waiting there.
He opened the door, and the two employees deftly began cleaning the store for the first wave of customers in the morning.
Gradually, people came to have breakfast.
When it was almost eight o'clock, a woman in a professional dress attracted Chen Xu's attention. The reason why he noticed her was because she would come every day this week, and she never missed three meals a day plus midnight snacks. And every time I order different noodles.
More importantly, unlike ordinary customers, she always looks around when eating. Sometimes, noticing his attention, she would nod and smile at him. And still the same.
Anyway, she didn't look like she'd come to eat at all.
Of course, Chen Xu didn't want to worry about her, as long as she wasn't here to make trouble.
"You are the boss here." This time, she came directly to him and asked.
He was a little surprised, nodded, "Yes, I am."
"My name is Jiang Yan, and I want to talk to you." The woman took out a business card and handed it over, "This is my business card."
Chen Xu took a look and saw that it said, Jinyun Catering Group Co., Ltd., head of brand promotion department, Jiang Yan. I can somewhat guess her reason for coming, but, feeling incredible, my first reaction is, can't it be a liar
"Go to my office and talk." He said, anyway, let's talk first.
It is said to be an office, but the area is actually very small. There is barely a sofa and a coffee table, and there is a place to entertain others.
After Jiang Yan sat down, he asked, "I wonder if you have heard of our company?"
Chen Xu put the water down to boil and said, "No."
"Then you can go and find out. Our company is mainly engaged in the catering industry, and has many chain brands under it, such as fast food, milk tea, meals, etc." Jiang Yan said a few brands.
Chen Xu also saw shops with these brands on the street, but with a noncommittal face, he asked, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Yan asked, "What's your name?"
"Chen Xu."
"Mr. Chen, it's like this. I'm specifically responsible for discovering some potential restaurants. The two parties will work together to operate and promote them through our resources, and make this brand bigger to achieve a win-win situation. After so many days of observation, I think Your noodle shop has great potential, and I want to invite your shop to join our company and become our sub-brand."
Hearing this, Chen Xu wondered, "The general routine, isn't it buying formulas?"
"No, no, the recipe is dead, but the talent is alive."
Jiang Yan said with a smile, "There are many so-called formulas in this world, but only a few of them can be made into mature products. Rather than spending a lot of money to buy a formula, it is better to follow the mature products that have already been produced. It’s most efficient when all the formula owners work together.”
Chen Xu had to admit that this set of rhetoric was very moving. But the conversation continued with her.
This talk lasted nearly half an hour.
Finally, Chen Xu said that it takes a few days to think about it.
Jiang Yan left several examples of successful cooperation before and left.
