After returning to Pingchuan from Chenjiawan, Li Dong began to get busy.
Sun Tao had been busy with loans and government support recently, so he had no time to stay at the headquarters. Li Dong stayed in the company for several days.
In mid-April, Far Away Mall also entered the final debugging stage.
Li Dong stayed in the e-commerce department for two days, and all the preparation work for the launch of the mall was completed.
On April 18th, Far Away Mall began a large-scale promotion.
For a time, everywhere in Pingchuan was filled with advertisements for Far Away Mall.
TV, newspapers, the Internet, outdoor advertisements, bus stops …
According to Meng Qiping, as long as there were people in Pingchuan, there would be advertisements for Far Away Mall. He saw advertisements for psoriasis in Far Away Mall when he went to the toilet.
The fat man said with a smile, "Brother Dong, how about I give you a small suggestion?"
"What suggestion?"
"You see, when you advertise, why don't you just add a sentence, 'Fatty Fast Food Restaurant, Your Best Choice'?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer. He changed the topic and asked, "How is your fast food restaurant?"
Meng Qiping smiled and said, "I was about to report to you. The fast food restaurant has opened. It was a trial operation yesterday."
Li Dong was a little surprised and said, "So fast?"
"What do you think? Brother, I opened a fast food restaurant, not a big restaurant. I bought a storefront but didn't renovate it. I took over the staff and chefs of the previous owner. I signed the contract and opened the next day. "
Li Dong asked, "How is the business?"
Fatty said with some helplessness, "It's so-so, worse than I thought. Yesterday's trial operation, I sold 600 yuan at noon and night, and earned less than 100 yuan. "
"It's already not bad. After all, it just opened. When there are more frequent customers in the future, the business will naturally improve. "
"Well, I'll take your auspicious words!"
Fatty laughed and then said, "Are you busy at night?"
Li Dong glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter? Your fast food restaurant has just opened. What are you doing here instead of working in your own restaurant? "
Meng Qiping scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to you that I became a Little Boss. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to treat you to a meal. Since I'm free today, I would like to treat you to a meal. "
"Forget it. You go on with your work. You don't have to be so polite with me. Anytime is fine."
Embarrassed, Meng Qiping said, "Let's have a meal together. Nannan has reminded me many times. If you don't go, how can I go back?"
Li Dong could tell that something was up, so he probed, "Where are you inviting me to eat?"
Fatty chuckled and said, "Well, we have our own shop now. It wasn't easy for us to become the boss again, so we naturally can't let others take advantage of us."
Li Dong immediately scolded, "So you're going to treat me to fast food at your fast-food restaurant? Aren't you ashamed? How dare you say that? "
Meng Qiping felt wronged and said, "What's wrong with fast food? I can eat my own food without worry. Let me tell you, my food is very clean. Even big restaurants might not be as good as it. I'll ask the chef to cook some dishes for us to go with the wine. I guarantee it'll be better than eating in big restaurants. "
Li Dong smiled bitterly and looked at the time, "Alright, wait for me for a while."
Then, Li Dong went through some documents. It was not until 6: 30 p.m. that Li Dong stood up and said, "Let's go. You're busy tonight. If there's no place to sit, you have to treat me to a feast."
Meng Qiping sighed and said, "It'll be great if there's no place to sit. I'm willing to have a feast. But I don't think you can count on it. "
…
Meng Qiping's fast-food restaurant was on the street next to the south gate of Jiangzhou University.
This guy was lazy and directly named the restaurant "Fatty's Fast Food". Li Dong laughed at him for a while.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, it was almost seven o 'clock. The peak time for meals had just passed.
Cheng Nan happened to have some free time. There was sweat on her forehead.
Seeing Li Dong and Meng Qiping enter, Cheng Nan quickly said, "You're here. Come and sit!"
She then turned to the chef in the kitchen and said, "Master Wang, quickly cook a few dishes to go with the wine. Use the ingredients I just prepared."
"Alright!" The chef in the kitchen replied.
Li Dong saw this and laughed, "You're starting to feel like a lady boss. It seems that the environment is really good for you. It's only been a day, and you're already doing quite well as a lady boss."
Cheng Nan blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What lady boss? It's just a fast-food restaurant. I'm just an odd-job worker."
Li Dong did not tease her anymore. He pressed his hand and said, "Don't be so busy. Let's sit together. You look like you haven't eaten yet."
Cheng Nan said, "I just got some free time. Business is pretty good today."
Li Dong heard this and glanced around. There were about eleven or twelve small tables in the fast-food restaurant. There were still four or five tables occupied.
It seemed that business was good. After all, it was already seven o 'clock. Students usually ate early.
Meng Qiping saw this and asked, "How much did you sell tonight?"
Cheng Nan calculated for a while and said with a smile, "About fifty to sixty servings were taken away. That's about the same number of people who ate here."
Meng Qiping said excitedly, "That's not bad. More than a hundred servings. We sold five to six hundred servings tonight."
"Hmm, that's about right."
Cheng Nan then said to Li Dong, "See, we've made a fool of ourselves in front of you. It's embarrassing for us to talk about this in front of you."
Li Dong said with a smile, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's not embarrassing to earn money with my own labor."
They chatted for a while, and the waiter brought two dishes over.
Cheng Nan opened a bottle of white wine for them and filled up Li Dong's glass. Then, she said embarrassedly, "Li Dong, it's really rude of us to ask you to eat here. Next time, when Yuhan comes back, we'll treat you to a big meal. "
Before Li Dong could say anything, Meng Qiping waved his hand and said, "Come on, Brother Dong, you've eaten all kinds of delicacies. Maybe the delicacies in our eyes are no different from fast food in your eyes."
Li Dong laughed and scolded, "Just say it if you can't bear to. Why use me as an excuse? Look at how stingy you are."
After saying that, they all burst into laughter.
The three of them chatted as they drank.
As they chatted, Meng Qiping talked about what happened in school.
Meng Qiping's tone was a little emotional. He said to Li Dong, "Brother Dong, there's something you probably don't know."
"Nonsense, how long has it been since I went to school? What's the matter? Don't keep me in suspense."
"Lil Chen dropped out."
"Who? Xu Chen? "Li Dong was a little surprised.
Meng Qiping nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's more than that. I'm afraid you won't believe it. Guess why he dropped out?"
"Tell me."
Just when Meng Qiping was about to say it, Cheng Nan glared at him.
Li Dong saw it too. He said with a smile, "Why? Is there a big secret?"
Cheng Nan smiled bitterly and sighed softly, "It's not really a secret. It's spread all over the school. It's just a little unpleasant to say."
