Young Again

Chapter 178 A Gentle and Virtuous Woman

Because there is a shopping mall downstairs, it is very convenient to eat.

But 'the first meal must be eaten in the new home', so after everyone packed up, they went upstairs.

But because there were not enough stools, everyone held their own bowls and ate around the table.

Chen Wang sat on one of the only two chairs, and Li Xintong specifically emphasized that Xia Manlu was the most diligent in cleaning, so she let her sit on the other one.

He knows how to win people's hearts.

While eating, the serious discussion continued.

"Senior Zhou Yan did some statistics, and there are currently ninety-four merchants that have joined us from last night until now." Xia Manlu said excitedly.

"Tong, are the deposits collected from ninety-four households?" Chen Wang asked.

Li Xintong, who was eating while standing, thought for a moment and said while picking up rice, "Deposits were collected from 99 families."

"Ah? Why are there extra ones?" Gui Jiahao was very puzzled.

At this time, Chen Wang guessed: "It should be that some merchants have not yet passed the review, but in order to join in, they directly transferred the deposit."

"That's right." Xia Manlu put down her chopsticks and explained, "There are still six companies that Senior Sister Zhou Yan is not sure about, so they haven't been approved yet. I think this kind of thing must happen frequently. It's not good to disturb you every time it happens, so I want to wait until the evening to report to you."

Her words made Li Xintong feel the charm of being able to speak.

It was a perfect decision to add her to this team.

"Let me see." Chen Wang stretched out his hand.

Xia Manlu pulled up the chat history on her phone and handed it to him.

Chen Wang looked at them and nodded: "The sanitary conditions of these two restaurants are too poor, right..."

"This is D-level." Xia Manlu said in disbelief, "Out there, there are actually ratings like the school cafeteria."

"There is a cafeteria D in Jiangxi Vocational and Technical College. Someone found snails in it..." Although Zhang Ya is from a technical secondary school, she has also been to a technical college and is quite familiar with this.

"It's pretty good, high in protein." Chen Wang complained casually.

The remaining few people who heard this were speechless.

Chen Wang frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's give it a pass. Customers can see the hygiene rating when they enter the store. Those with a D rating are strictly supervised by the government, which means they can operate. Our goal is not to promote food, but to expand the influence of 'City Eats'. His store is rubbish, so his business is bad, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Then according to this logic, if this business license hasn't been obtained yet, it must be closed?"

"Yes, we are still promoting it without any legal protection. What will we do if something goes wrong?" Chen Wang was convinced. "How can you open a store without even getting a business license... so awesome."

"Then the remaining few should be no problem." Xia Manlu knew Chen Wang's standards and said, "As long as they can operate normally, they will be brought into our scope."

"That's right." Chen Wang said ambitiously, "It seems that many people are still thinking about the price. Just from last night till now, there are nearly a hundred companies, so it should be no problem to get three hundred."

"That's definitely no problem." Xia Manlu said, "I feel that according to this trend, 400 companies will be no problem."

“Doesn’t that mean we can see one every few steps we take?” Gui Jiahao was a little bit unbelievable. He didn’t expect the industry to grow so big.

"It's what I should do." Chen Wang was not surprised at all.

why?
There is a WeChat promotion in a region with 100,000 people. Normal people know that if you join this, your business will definitely be booming.

"By the way, I told my senior that pricing is very important, so some people's price adjustments are not sincere at all. For those, just send them back and ask them to do it again."

After Xia Manlu said this, the rest of the people were obviously a little surprised.

Because this is something Chen Wang did not specifically emphasize.

But Xia Manlu even made the decision directly.

In other words, this person is capable and also quite opinionated.

"Good good."

Chen Wang was particularly satisfied with her "arbitrariness": "I forgot to emphasize earlier that our event this time has nothing to do with taste and health. It is only responsible for lowering prices for everyone. Therefore, we cannot let those merchants eat up our traffic, destroy our reputation, and fake price cuts. We will be the ones who get scolded then."

"That's exactly what I mean!" Xia Manlu raised her finger, agreeing very much.

"You are so clever, well done."

"Right, you should have come to me a long time ago."

The two of them just started chatting with a smile.

It seems like they have such a tacit understanding.

Li Xintong saw all of this and felt the real crisis.

That is, compared to a girl like Tangtang who is only cute and proactive, someone who can solve his problems for him will one day develop a good impression of him...

Besides, Xia Manlu is also a beautiful and good girl.

"Tongtong, do you have any problems?" Chen Wang continued to ask.

Li Xintong paused for a moment, and then said, "Although I emphasized several times that some stupid things should be noted, there is still no note. But for the time being, the accounts are all checked, and there are no omissions."

"Yeah, it's reliable."

Chen Wang nodded and smiled, then asked Gui Jiahao, "How's the keychain?"

"Oh, I have a relative who runs a shop in the Yiwu small market in Jiangchuan. He asked for us and said that if we buy in bulk, we can lower the unit price to RMB 1.50."

Gui Jiahao pulled out photos on his phone, showing a bunch of keychains, and explained, "Those that have been molded are cheap. If they are made for image, they will be expensive, but we don't need to."

"This one is good, cute." Zhang Ya, who had been silent the whole time, commented lightly.

"Wow, there's also a [beep] mouse." Chen Wang was shocked.

"What is a beeping mouse? Isn't that..."

"You can't say that. It will infringe on your rights." Chen Wang quickly stopped Gui Jiahao.

"Oh, okay." Gui Jiahao didn't understand why they were so vigilant when there were only a few people in the room.

"What about me, Tangtang, what do you do?" Zhang Ya asked.

When she said this, Gui Jiahao blushed.

So cute, she actually calls herself Tangtang...

You think everyone you see is cute!

Chen Wang was too tired to complain about Haozi, so he said to Tangtang, "Keep being a good customer service representative. This job is very important. Remember not to curse at anyone no matter what. If you do a good job, I'll give you a raise."

"Got it." Tangtang saluted slightly.

Well, this must have driven my brother into an idiot.

But it is impossible to control this kind of girl, Chen Wang is sure.

And just like that, the work proceeded very naturally.

The early stages of a startup are always full of vitality.

After finishing her meal, Xia Manlu started to clean up the table, put away the food waste, and tied up the garbage bag.

Just like the owner of this house, he has a very heroic spirit.

Or, it is the kind of character that is very lacking nowadays - virtuous.

Li Xintong saw all of this.

He and Chen Wang got along so naturally and familiarly...

She had already tasted this jealousy.

However, she felt that Xia Manlu was a good person.

You shouldn't have enemies all over the world.

Besides, she also knew about the relationship between herself and Chen Wang, and she tried hard to give her advice.

I should trust her.

"Sister Tongtong, can you come over and help me look at the photos?"

At this time, Zhang Ya, who was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, waved to Li Xintong.

"Yes, I'm coming." Li Xintong responded and walked over.

At this time, Chen Wang was using a computer at the dining table in the living room.

Xia Manlu, who was sitting next to them, saw Li Xintong enter the room and Gui Jiahao was in the bathroom, so she asked curiously, "What happened? Did you have a fight with Tongtong?"

"How did you know?"

Chen Wang stopped and looked at her.

"She's sad, that's why I asked." Xia Manlu said.

"Ah, what did you say?"

"No, they just said they had a fight, nothing else." Xia Manlu asked with great interest, "Tell me about it."

"I think it's my fault..."

"Arguments are usually between two parties..."

"Besides her, I have someone I like."

"That's your problem!"

After Xia Manlu finished speaking, she immediately lowered her voice and asked in disbelief, "Ah? Are you such a scumbag?"

"Oh, no more."

Chen Wang shook his head.

"Tell me about it."

Xia Manlu was extremely interested.

"No, my image in your eyes will be ruined if I tell you." Chen Wang said firmly, "Stop, let's not talk about anything."

Faced with the fact that she couldn't get anything out of Chen Wang, Xia Manlu didn't have much to say.

Then, propping up her cheek, she observed Chen Wang, who was using the computer seriously with a melancholy look in his eyes, and said slowly, "I didn't expect that you are a bit of a playboy."

"Boss Xia, please stop talking about this, okay?"

"I know, I know. Our President Chen needs to save face, so I won't say anything more."

Xia Manlu squinted her eyes and smiled, feeling a little happy.

Although she said this, she still looked at Chen Wang with curiosity.

He looked at her suspiciously, so he turned around and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Why are you looking at me? Because you're handsome."

"Don't keep looking at him even if he's handsome."

"I know."

Xia Manlu retracted her gaze.

Then he looked back at Li Xintong in the room, who hadn't looked at him, and pursed his lips, naturally but also with a little unnaturalness...
