Rebirth begins with losing the white moonlight

Chapter 313 Worry about the future

As Shen Yaoming expected, Lu Chen was not only ready to set off at this time, but was about to arrive at the first warehouse.

This warehouse is located in Pujiang District, about 53 kilometers away from Songze University Town, and it takes 1 hour and 16 minutes to drive.

Lu Chen came with Huck, Zhang Honglei and Liu Sijun, and the four of them drove two cars in total.

Zhang Honglei was driving his Mercedes-Benz C, while Lu Chen was resting on the passenger side. Liu Sijun was placed in Huck's van. The two chatted all the way around, and it could be said that they had a great time.

"Boss, here we are!"

After making a U-turn at the traffic light, Zhang Honglei parked the car at the gate, with Huck following closely behind.

The time now is 8:52, which is 8 minutes before the warehouse officially opens for business, but people are already passing through the gate one after another.

Lu Chen actually didn't fall asleep, he just leaned on the chair with his arms folded and took a rest.

So when he heard the movement from Zhang Honglei's side, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Go down and have a look."

He unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the passenger seat.

The other three people also got out of the car and gathered with him, raising their heads and looking in all directions.

This warehouse belongs to a certain fruit industry chain enterprise. It was the first fruit store opened around the turn of the millennium. It now provides multiple services including fruit procurement, planting support, post-harvest preservation, logistics and warehousing, etc. Function as one.

This also made Lu Chen fully feel the strength of Shen Yaoming's supply chain team. While Xiao Aojiao led the Qimu Coffee Shop's product research and development department to conduct centralized research and development, it only took them two or three days at most to complete the project with such a company. The leading supplier brands in the industry are online.

Of course, he prefers that this is not a temporary line, but a resource they already have in hand.

"Brother Shen, do you want me to go to the supermarket opposite to buy a few packs of cigarettes?"

Liu Sijun stood next to Lu Chen and suggested.

Originally, he would do this kind of thing in advance, but he received the temporary instruction from Lu Chen yesterday. At that time, the lights in the dormitory had been turned off, and the dormitory aunt downstairs had also closed the door.

And this morning they started taking action at around 7 o'clock, and were able to get here early at 8:52.

"Oh, how could I forget this?"

Zhang Honglei also slapped his head, as if he suddenly remembered after hearing what Liu Sijun said.

In the past, there was no need to say much about this kind of thing when he was smoking, but now he has already followed Lu Chen's footsteps and has almost given up smoking completely.

This is partly because when he accompanied Lu Chen to inspect the gym, Boss Lu casually said "smoking will cause trouble", and partly because after about half a year, his relationship with Li Yutong has also made some modest progress. .

As a girl from northern Shaanxi, although Li Yutong was very forthright in dealing with others and had a good drinking capacity, Zhang Honglei snooped into her circle of friends late at night and discovered that she would suffer from rhinitis in winter.

How can rhinitis be caused by second-hand smoke? Zhang Honglei, who has been smoking for more than five years, immediately decided——

In order not to affect my ability to marry a wife in the future, I must quit this thing like my boss.

What the hell? Love brain?

That's better than you, who can't even find someone who can make you fall in love.

"Just forget it! Don't you still have me?"

This was Huck's first "travel" with 407, and he looked even happier than usual.

For no other reason, Liu Sijun not only listened to him tell a lot of interesting things about the inside and outside of the Beijiang Hotel along the way, but also shared a lot of interesting things about himself with him.

Such as how far the relationship between Lu Chen and Shen Wanning has progressed, how the boss thinks about the landlady day and night in the dormitory... and what else Lu Chen has done recently besides leading the opening of the coffee shop.

After all, at Huck's age, he is not like those young boys who focus more on knocking Lu Chen's CP. He is naturally happy to hear that his little brother hugs the beauty and returns it to him, but when he hears that Boss Lu is Being successful in his career makes him even happier.

Liu Sijun said that now their official account is not only within the scope of Songze University Town, but its status in the entire Songze District and even at the junction with Minhang District is unshakable.

As for the APP, it has covered almost all municipal districts in Shanghai. With this new product promotion cooperation with IKEA on "ideal life", it has also ushered in an explosion of popularity among the urban middle class and petty bourgeoisie. The number of registered users It also ushered in an increase of nearly 50 in less than a week.

This result may not be top-notch among popular apps, but it is definitely very rare for a relatively vertical and professional local lifestyle platform like Shiwu.

Especially this was achieved after they had already completed several rounds of user harvesting with daily necessities and fitness equipment, without advertising through any external channels.

It increased its popularity, sold service packages, and accurately harvested a wave of urban elite traffic with stronger spending power.

Mr. Lu’s choice to cooperate with IKEA is a win-win for both short-term profit and long-term development.

"From Liqun to Zhonghua...whatever you want, I have it here!"

"Brother Huck, if you hadn't told me, my brothers would have thought you were a cigarette seller."

Zhang Honglei and Liu Sijun looked at the inventory that Huck put in the trunk with surprise.

“Because we often have to go out to buy goods, it’s always good to be more prepared!”

Huck told them cheerfully.

This was also the reason why he insisted on coming to help, but Lu Chen did not continue to refuse in the end, because Huck was an absolute "professional counterpart" in this regard.

——Although the business of Beijiang Restaurant is very good, he always goes to purchase in person every two days. In addition to fresh vegetables, the purchases naturally also include a lot of fruits, and the two are basically the same. .

"Brother Shen, how many bags should we pick from Brother Huck?"

"Don't forget to replenish the supplies for Brother Huck when you get back."

"That's natural! I'll make sure to fill it up when I go back."

"What kind of supplies should we replenish... If nothing else, for a restaurant owner like us, can we still be short of cigarettes and alcohol?"

"That's right, Brother Shen, Brother Huck can already fill it up by himself, and it will overflow if he fills it up again."

"Liu Sijun, don't talk nonsense!"

"Dirty Honglei, you are so dirty."

"..."

A few men stood outside the gate chatting for a few words, and the time officially came to 9 am.

With Liu Sijun as a talented person and the "props" provided by Huck, they did not need Lu Chen to show up along the way. They appeared in front of the person in charge of logistics and warehousing naturally.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to welcome you from afar!"

The man in front of him looked to be under forty years old. Besides his thin down jacket, he was also wearing a black blouse with a brand imprint on the chest.

"Hello, Manager Chen."

Lu Chen also said very politely.

Although there is Tan Rui on his side, and Shen Yaoming, the head of supply chain, on the other side, this does not prevent them from having a basic understanding of each other.

As employees of Qiu Xin and Shen Yaoming's company, the two communications officers acted professionally enough.

"I heard from Manager Cao that you would bring someone here in person today, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Manager Chen, the person in charge of the warehouse, reached out to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen also stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and at the same time said straight to the point:

"We have to get back to the coffee shop before 2 p.m., so naturally we can't waste too much time."

"Understand, understand."

Although he still held Lu Shen's hand, Manager Chen frowned in front of him.

If Lu Chen guessed correctly, he would give an unexpected yet reasonable turn in the next step.

"but……"

Sure enough, Lu Chen guessed it correctly.

I saw him inviting Lu Shen and his group to sit on a few benches in the southwest of the warehouse, and saying to them as if he was very sorry:

"But we may have to cause trouble for Mr. Lu and the coffee shop this time..."

"Look what you said!"

Liu Sijun and Lu Chen looked at each other and immediately gave him a pack of cigarettes with a smile:

"How can we say that you are causing us trouble? Our employees made a mistake in calculating the supply, so we need to trouble you to make it up to us in advance!"

"Little brother, you are too polite."

Manager Chen also smiled:

"Mr. Lu condescended to bring you here today, but I can't help Mr. Lu and you solve the problem. This must be my problem."

Although he said it like a tongue twister, the content of his words was very clear. Although he was recognized as a good person in the university town, he was still too young after all, so Liu Sijun was stunned for two seconds and then heard Huck use An angry voice said from the side:

"Since we are here today, we hope to solve the problem with Manager Chen. No matter what went wrong, as long as we solve the problem together, then this matter will be over."

"I think so too." As expected of having to deal with such people often, Huck's level of dialogue with Manager Chen is naturally very high.

Manager Chen nodded, shook hands with him again, and then turned his head in the direction of Lu Chen again:

"But Mr. Lu, you can also see that there are not many fresh fruits in our warehouse. This is because of the company's relevant regulations. The fruits we provide to stores and partners must be picked fresh from the planting base.

So although the fruits you want are all available, the quantity is not enough if you want to supply the coffee shop, because the goods for the coffee shop have not yet been picked. Originally, we planned to contact Manager Cao to deliver them to you after picking them tomorrow. . "

"Then Manager Chen, if it doesn't work, we can do it ourselves..."

Zhang Honglei originally wanted to say that we could go by ourselves, but Lu Chen raised his hand to stop him:

"Your company's planting base must not allow outsiders to enter without authorization. I don't know when Manager Chen can arrange someone to pick for us."

"Of course I want to solve this problem as soon as possible, but..."

"Please say."

“It’s just that we need to finish loading all the fruits before 10 a.m., and then start delivering to major stores in the city and suburbs. Even to the nearest stores, it takes about two and a half hours. time.

这也就是说我最早也只能在12:30派人去种植基地，而他们最早也只能在下午2:30之前赶回这里，但陆总刚刚说需要在下午2点之前需要赶回咖啡店……那我们无可避免会耽误您的时间。”

Seeing that Lu Chen has a straightforward character, Manager Chen is not going to make any detours with him.

In fact, what he said is not a lie, because this is their regular operation method.

It's just that Shen Yaoming's supply chain has great privileges here, but Mr. Shen has no intention of giving Lu Chen this privilege. After all, once he is given this privilege, there will be no way for him to accept the "test" again.

"Although outsiders cannot enter the planting base, they should have no problem helping with picking and delivering goods."

Lu Chen said a question in a declarative tone, because in his eyes there was no doubt about the answer.

Although Manager Chen said a lot, there was only one core point, that is, they were too busy, so they could only pick at the end.

"This...is not appropriate."

To be the person in charge of logistics and warehousing in such a company, the man in front of him who is less than forty years old cannot be a fool.

However, he was still a little surprised that Lu Chen would propose this solution so actively and so quickly.

A young man who became a shareholder of Qimu Coffee Shop at the age of twenty is actually willing to lower his status in this way?

"As long as the problem can be solved, there is no need to care about those false gifts."

Lu Chen could naturally guess what he was thinking, but he didn't seem to care at all.

It's just helping to pick and deliver goods. It was much harder than this when he started from scratch in his previous life.

Even in this life, they accumulated the first wave of fans on the official account by sending souvenirs and roses in the university town.

It’s not as if less than half a year has passed and we can no longer do this kind of thing.

That would be too pretentious.

"OK then."

Manager Chen obviously also knows that without privileges, this is their only way:

"Since Mr. Lu is willing to go out and help in person, I will now dispatch a team of people to the planting base and farm."

"it is good."

Lu Chen still answered very calmly.

Soon, they were actually involved in sorting and loading fruits.

Originally, Zhang Honglei said nothing to let Lu Chen and Huck take action. After all, one of them is the boss of the entrepreneurial base and the other is a partner of 407. Logically speaking, it is not their turn to do this kind of thing.

However, Lu Chen and Huck didn't think it was anything. Not to mention Lu Chen's character, Huck usually went out for shopping and was used to doing manual labor. At this moment, he was talking and laughing with his brother Lu, and his mood seemed even better than before. It's even better when you get off the bus.

"Boss Lu, you really do your job."

After sending a team of people to the planting base, Manager Chen himself was not idle. Like Lu Chen, he also led several employees to pick goods at the other end.

"Two days ago, I went to the coffee shop to deliver goods, and he brought the people to help us move the boxes of juice and sparkling water."

After receiving the WeChat message from him, Manager Cao responded quickly.

"This is not easy. After all, I became a shareholder of a coffee shop at the age of twenty."

"Why don't you say that Mr. Lu has a big picture? What were we doing when we were at his age?"

"You know he has a bright future and you still dare to embarrass him? You are really not afraid of retaliation."

"How dare I embarrass him? Manager Chen, you really overestimate me."

Although he said so, Manager Cao would never dare to reveal the person behind the scenes.

In order to prevent the other party from continuing to ask further questions, he quickly changed the topic and said a little abruptly:

"Please help me take a picture of Mr. Lu and send it over."

"Take a photo of Mr. Lu?"

Although he was a little confused, Manager Chen, as Party B, finally chose to do it.

So Lu Chen's photo quickly appeared on Manager Cao's screen, and then was presented to Shen Yaoming's phone like a memorial.

"..."

Seeing Shen Yaoming beside him staring at the phone screen and falling into silence, Qiu Xin raised her head and looked at him with some confusion:

"what happened?"

"Is this the little boy named Lu Chen?"

"Yes."

Qiu Xin took the phone he handed and took a look:

"Did you really ask people to go to the warehouse to help pick the goods?"

"Where did I let him go? Didn't he go there on his own?"

"Although you didn't let me do it, you are the one behind the scenes who is secretly controlling everything."

Qiu Xin smiled and said to him:

"Forward this photo to me."

"why?"

"Prepare to commend him."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took Shen Yaoming's mobile phone and forwarded it.

Since the top of Mr. Shen's chat box is the WeChat group of his family of three, this photo unsurprisingly appeared in the group with their precious daughter.

"?"

After Lu Chen said good morning to him before setting off, Shen Wanning listened to his words and went to catch up on his sleep. At this moment, when he heard the message notification sound from WeChat, he held the kitten in his arms and rubbed his eyes. Youyou wake up.

Isn't this Lu Chen? Save it.

Wait a minute, what is he doing?

After reacting, Shen Wanning felt that he suddenly woke up.

Lu Chen was moving things in the warehouse wearing only a single piece of clothing?

Who dares to let her baby work as a coolie? !

"Axin, why did you post it to our family group?"

“Because the group was the first one, I posted it easily.”

"But can't Wan Ning also see it this way?"

"So what? She already knows Lu Chen."

Qiu Xin didn't think it was anything at all, maybe because he was used to it.

"Ok."

Having already lost his hair, Mr. Shen naturally couldn't say anything more.

After all, WeChat in this era has not yet developed a recall function, so messages sent out are like water thrown out. No matter how powerful you are, there is absolutely no way to take it back.

"Ning Ning, are you up?"

After Qiu Xin forwarded the photo, Shen Yaoming sent another message in the group.

Almost the next second, he received a reply from the little princess:

"Not getting up!"

"Axin, do you think Ning Ning was a little angry when she woke up today?"

"Really? Maybe someone has offended her again~"
