I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 428. Dear Snow
"Say it again if you dare!"

"Xiao Ruanwen, you don't want to either?"

They were a step too late for the class bell. When the two of them returned to the classroom, playing around, the Chinese teacher was already standing on the podium.

Xu Qingfan stopped smiling, knocked on the door, and walked back to his seat with a serious expression.

"Why don't you say anything?" Following closely behind, Xiao Ruanwen also noticed the teacher on the podium, immediately lowered her head, and ran back to her seat.

"Cough, close your Chinese textbook. Today I'll tell you some things that aren't in the textbook," the elderly Chinese teacher said casually after taking a sip of half a bottle of goji berry water.

Xu Qingfan knew that this teacher was about to launch into his indignant pronouncements again, so he silently placed his phone between the pages of his book.

Still angry, Xiao Ruanwen, after noticing that the teacher wasn't watching her, punched Xu Qingfan twice.

Xiao Ruanwen, you don't want Xia Xiaoxiao to know what happened last night, do you?

Look, is this human language?
Xu Qingfan rested his chin on one hand, watching the girl's angry expression with great interest.

"You're still laughing!" Xiao Ruanwen mouthed, and in a fit of anger, punched him twice more.

Xu Qingfan casually brushed her hand away and continued looking down at his phone.

"Hmph~ I'll settle the score with you after school!" Seeing that Brother Fan was ignoring her, Xiao Ruanwen made a harsh statement and then began to listen to the lesson seriously.

The phone showed his chat with Zhang Chunxue, the details of which are as follows:
[Xu Qingfan: My dear Xue, have you taken down the other two companies yet?]

[Snow: [Laughing][Laughing], almost done! The idea for the product recommendation post has received a great response. Anything else?]

As mentioned earlier, due to the influence of the "Good Taste Delivery" phenomenon, some big investors have already noticed the potential of the food delivery market, and a few local food delivery brands have begun to emerge, including the once-famous "Minions".

Neither Xu Qingfan nor Zhang Chunxue took this to heart.

Given the current widespread use of smartphones, food delivery services are basically only available to two major groups: college students and white-collar workers.

The former started planning several years ago, and through the university food court project, they have almost developed and occupied 99% of the national college student market, without having to worry about competitors making underhanded moves.

The latter, through several years of hard work, has also achieved remarkable results.

Across the country, wherever there are office buildings, you can almost always see the little red figure of Haowei Takeout during mealtimes.

But a new problem soon followed: there are only so many provincial capitals and first-tier cities in the country, and they have all been developed. How will the thousands of ground staff be resettled?

Let's develop the rural market; the smartphone penetration rate there is less than 1%, so it's clearly not the right time yet.

But if we disband the team on the spot, we'll have to recruit and train new people again in a few years, which will not only waste time but also incur significant human resource costs.

Just then, the fierce group-buying war between Dazhong and Mtuan attracted the attention of Xu Qingfan and Zhang Chunxue.

The two hit it off immediately. They could put the food delivery business on hold for now, but group buying was something that Haowei Delivery was born to do!

On other platforms, users have to pick up their group-buy orders themselves, but Haowei Delivery delivers directly to your door, which puts it ahead of 99% of other platforms.

Not to mention Xiaofenshu, the most popular local social platform in the country, which is one of their products.

Imagine this: your "sister" shares a fantastic lipstick with you on a local social media platform, and there's a group-buying deal for it in the bottom left corner, offering to take it home within an hour. Wouldn't you be tempted?

And so, the original duopoly of Dazhong and M-tuan was eroded by Haowei Waimai, which took more than half of the market share in less than two months.

The situation is now almost unsolvable. It is nearly impossible and unrealistic for M-tuan and Dazhong to build a same-city delivery service from scratch.

Continuing to aggressively spend money to attract users will not affect Haowei Takeaway's core competitiveness in group buying.

Xu Qingfan looked at the latest message sent by Zhang Chunxue and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

After thinking for a moment, he typed: "Auntie, we can try doing community group buying." The two chatted about the company's future development across the screen, and the last two classes of the morning passed by in the blink of an eye.

[Xu Qingfan: Remember to eat on time. I just ordered takeout for you on my phone. We went to eat after school.]

Zhang Chunxue stared at the contents of her phone for a moment, and the next second, her newly hired secretary came in with takeout.

"Mr. Zhang, here's your takeout order."

"puff"

Zhang Chunxue glanced at the McDonald's logo on the packaging and almost laughed in exasperation.

"Put it down." She glanced at her secretary indifferently and picked up her phone again.

She typed a lot of words and then deleted them, until only three words remained in the input box.

【McDonald's???】

Xu Qingfan could already picture Zhang Chunxue's amused and exasperated expression. He chuckled dryly and typed: "How about KFC instead?"

"Pfft, hahaha!" After the secretary left, Zhang Chunxue finally couldn't hold back anymore and covered her mouth, laughing so hard she was convulsing.

After a long while, she finally stopped laughing, but the smile on her face was impossible to shake off.

I don't want to talk to you.

After sending the last message, Zhang Chunxue put down her phone and took the McDonald's out of the packaging.

"Orleans roasted chicken wings, red bean pie, chicken leg burger, fries, and chicken nuggets... Xiao Fan, another day of training wasted." She reached out and poked her cheek, rarely acting coquettish, but unfortunately no one appreciated it.

But despite her words, after eating dry, healthy meals for several days, she suddenly felt a strong urge to eat when she saw the food in front of her.

"It doesn't list the calories, Xiao Fan said. If it doesn't list them, it's 0 calories!" Zhang Chunxue chewed on the chicken nugget in her mouth, a happy expression on her face.

"What are you laughing at, Fan-ge?" Xiao Ruanwen pulled him back, otherwise he would have almost bumped into a female classmate.

"Oh, you were discussing some company matters with Yi Yi's mother. Why aren't you having dinner with Wang Xuan and the others today?" Xu Qingfan looked up and realized that Xiao Ruanwen was actually next to him.

"I don't know if it is or not, but I think he was chatting with another girl, he was laughing so lewdly." Xiao Ruanwen glanced back at the girl from before, deliberately not avoiding her, I don't know what she was up to.

"Waaaaah~ Why did you hit me, you stinky Fan-ge!"

She covered her head, and before she could turn around, Xu Qingfan gave her a flick on the forehead.

"Is it because you, Xiao Ruanwen, have gotten too cocky, or is it because my brother Fan can't even lift a knife anymore? You're learning bad things instead of good ones, like Xia Xiaoxiao's sarcastic remarks, right?" Xu Qingfan slapped away her hand that was trying to retaliate.

Xiao Ruanwen shrugged and shrank her neck. She realized that what Fan Ge said was actually quite right.

Seemingly eager to distance herself from Xu Qingfan and prove that she hadn't wronged Xiaoxiao, her behavior this morning was a bit over the top.

"Hmph~ It's all because you were a pervert last night."

"What did you say?" Xu Qingfan asked threateningly.

"I'm sorry~" Xiao Ruanwen said, looking aggrieved.

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Qingfan was delighted and took her wrist as they went downstairs.

[You stinky Fan!]
