Chapter 243, the restaurant opens
"Lianmei!"
Cao Dahua rushed into Yu Suqiu's office in a hurry, only to find that she was discussing things in the office. Deputy Director Charlie and the bosses of the political department were all there.
"Ada, what's the matter?" Seeing Cao Dahua's look, Yu Suqiu knew that he had something urgent to do with him.
"This." Looking at Charlie and the political department bosses in the room, Cao Dahua hesitated to speak.
"It's okay, we are all our own people, just say it." Seeing a flash of displeasure in the eyes of the deputy director, Yu Suqiu was worried that Cao Dahua would make him angry, so Yu Suqiu told him not to worry and report quickly.
"I saw Ah Xing at Adam Smith International School. He ran over and went undercover." Cao Dahua said.
"Zhou Xingxing, that little traffic policeman, why did he go to Adam Smith International School? I remember he seemed to have resigned, so he went to school." As for the little traffic policeman who took the blame, Cao Dahua had forgotten about Charlie even if he didn't mention it.
"Director, Zhou Xingxing did not resign. He went to the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. He has been very popular recently. In the Yau Tsim District operation against Yau Ma Tei some time ago, it was Zhou Xingxing who killed Wang Bao. He is now a celebrity in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Lei Weidong sent him to Adam Smith International School as an undercover agent, and he definitely wanted to have a hand in the case." Just like Zhou Xingxing used Cao Dahua, Cao Dahua didn't say anything about Zhou Xingxing's betrayal, and even dragged Lei Weidong out to make trouble.
Skin.
"Lei Wai-tung, Yau Tsim District Commander." Charlie knocked on the table. He was no stranger to Lei Wai-tung. Lei Wai-tung can take credit for Huang Bingyao's ability to reverse the situation of retiring and sit on the throne of West Kowloon Commander.
It’s a must.
Although I hate it a bit.
If it weren't for his own cronies, he wouldn't have lost his position as director of the Central District, but it is undeniable that Lei Weidong's ability is really powerful, and he is not on the same level as Yu Suqiu and others.
His ability can be seen from the actions he directed. Not only were there few hostage casualties, but even the police force suffered only a handful of casualties.
Although in the eyes of Gui Lao's senior officials, Lei Weidong was unruly, wanted to fly solo, and betrayed the training he received from the Great Eagle Empire, in the eyes of the lower-level police officers, Lei Weidong's status was very high.
"How about we bring Lei Weidong into this case?" Charlie tapped his fingers on the table and suggested.
"Director, there is no need for Lei Weidong to join. We have Cao Dahua, the tiger of the crime team in Wan Chai, who is fully qualified to do this. The terrorists are nothing to worry about."
Hearing that Charlie wanted Lei Weidong to penetrate him, Yu Suqiu coughed twice and expressed her objection. She trusted her lover more than Lei Weidong, that bastard.
"The Tiger of the Crime Squad." Looking at Uncle Da's iconic beer belly, Charlie frowned.
Although Charlie, who has been in a high position for a long time, has been away from the grassroots for a long time, he still has the necessary vision. Cao Dahua's body shape and beer belly show that he is not an expert.
Beer belly and obesity are two different things. They are completely caused by fat accumulation in the abdomen due to long periods of sitting without exercise.
It is really hard for Charlie to trust Cao Dahua.
"What about you, don't you agree with bringing Lei Weidong in either?" Charlie asked, looking at the boss of the Political Department who was also the person in charge.
"Director, we are fully confident about this case. Not to mention Tsim Sha Tsui, even Wan Chai I want them to withdraw and just hand it over to our Political Department." The person in charge of the Political Department said, patting his chest.
"In this case, it will remain as usual. The Wan Chai department of the Political Department will cooperate with the case. As for the undercover agent in Tsim Sha Tsui, call Lei Weidong and ask him to take the person back."
His subordinates were all opposed to it, so Charlie couldn't force it, he had to give his subordinates some face.
"Director, if you take it back, you won't need it. As the commander of Yau Tsim District, Lei Weidong also needs face. Why don't we just let Zhou Xingxing stay in the school and continue undercover, and let the brothers pay attention. Anyway, it's very close to Christmas.
Already, there’s not much time left.”
Seeing that the boss looked a little unhappy, Yu Suqiu promptly gave him steps to come down.
"Okay, just do as Director Yu said." Charlie nodded, very satisfied with Su Qiu's steps.

"Dean of Discipline!" Cao Dahua had just returned to school when he heard someone calling him. When he turned around, it was Zhou Xingxing calling him.
"What's going on?" Cao Dahua acted like a dean of students.
"I have a small matter, please go to the toilet." Zhou Xingxing moved his wrist and whispered.
"Go to the toilet, please don't." Hearing Zhou Xingxing call him to go to the toilet, Cao Dahua felt cold. Calling someone to go to the toilet at school is the same as going to the rooftop, which is synonymous with beating someone.
"It's better to go, just waste some time."
"No!"
Cao Dahua turned around and ran away, but his speed was nowhere near that of Zhou Xingxing, and he was quickly caught and pushed to a nearby toilet.
"Brother, I really don't know where that stick came from. I just hit you smoothly." After two punches, the bruised and swollen Cao Dahua begged for mercy.
"Fool, what is our relationship? How could I blame you for this? I just want to ask what you did at noon. Why can't you see anyone? It made me look for you for a long time."
Patting Cao Dahua on the shoulder, Zhou Xingxing chuckled and said, "Did you go to the police station and report to that old woman Yu Suqiu?"
"How do you know?" Cao Dahua was stunned when Zhou Xingxing guessed his whereabouts.
"Damn, you really went to report it." Zhou Xingxing was furious when he heard this, and his attack became much more forceful.
"Brother...brother, please be gentle. You also know my background. I am in my forties and have accomplished nothing. I finally found love. Of course I have to hurry up."
The arm caught by Zhou Xingxing was almost broken. Cao Dahua begged for mercy, "I just reported the situation to the superiors, and I didn't do anything to you."
"Really?" Zhou Xingxing asked.
"Yes, I can swear." Cao Dahua raised his hand and swore.
"What did that old woman Yu Suqiu say?" Seeing Cao Dahua's pitiful words, Zhou Xingxing let go of him.
"I didn't say anything. After all, you have Sir Lei as your backer, so we can only make us turn a blind eye to you." Cao Dahua shrugged with his hands spread out, indicating that he had no choice in the face of Zhou Xingxing. He couldn't drive him away or fight him, so he pretended not to see you.
.
"real?"
"Of course it is."
"It's really good. Now pay me back the eight hundred yuan you owe me." Zhou Xingxing rubbed his fingers, indicating that he must pay the money if he wants to pass the customs.
"Can you not give it?" Because Cao Dahua spends a lot of money to pick up girls, and he has relatively little money.
"We are all adults, how can we be like children and refuse to change the money we owe? We must do what we promised." Zhou Xingxing chuckled and unintentionally moved his wrist again.
"I'll pay it back." Cao Dahua bowed his head in submission, took out the money from his pocket and returned it to Zhou Xingxing.
"That's right." Counting the money, Zhou Xingxing nodded with satisfaction.
"Head, there was an order from above, telling us not to pay attention to that guy and pretend not to see him, as long as it doesn't delay our work." The voice coming from the arm attracted the attention of Zhou Xingxing and Cao Dahua.
"I don't care about him, as long as he doesn't come into contact with Cindy." The head of the Political Department said while washing his hands.
"Who is Cindy?" Hearing people from the Political Department talk about Cindy, Zhou Xingxing subconsciously felt that this was a clue. If he followed it, he might gain unexpected results.

It is impossible for hundreds of stores to open at the same time. Not only is there not enough staff, but there is not enough staff. Just the coordination of staff and food dispatch can make the leaders tired.
We can only do it step by step. First open a dozen stores as leaders and slowly expand. It will take half a year to a year to spread the stores all over Xiangjiang. Anyway, the stores have been prepared in advance. There is no need to worry about not being able to find them because of the rapid expansion.
For shops, you don’t have to worry about rent.
Today is the opening day of the first fast food restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. As the big boss behind the scenes, Lei Weidong naturally wants to come to the scene to support and send a signal to the local community.
These restaurants are covered by Lei Weidong, and the club will cut off the claws of anyone who dares to reach out.
"Dong...Brother Dong, you come here to eat." To Lei Weidong's expectation, Zhu Wanfang was working as a waiter in the restaurant. When she saw Lei Weidong entering the store, she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Xiaofang, why are you here? You don't go to school." Looking at Zhu Wanfang dressed as a waiter, Lei Weidong's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the little girl looked so beautiful in uniform.
"I have graduated from Form 5. My mother said that going to college is of little use to a family like ours. Many senior students who have graduated from college do not earn as much as my father selling pork.
If you have that kind of time, you might as well go out to work and learn some skills. There is a job opening here, so I came here to apply."
Zhu Wanfang said while wiping the table.
"Um!"
Lei Weidong nodded.
In Xiangjiang, unless you are a top student who graduated from the top university, otherwise you can only work as a clerk in a big company. You may look like a high-ranking white-collar worker, but in fact you don't earn much.
"Do you know how to collect money?" Lei Weidong asked when he saw Zhu Wanfang clearing the table seriously.
"You know, I went to the boss's pork stall to help him after school, and I collected the money for him." Zhu Wanfang wiped the table clean, and helped Lei Weidong bring the fast food he ordered, smiling.
"As long as you understand." Lei Weidong made a gesture to the manager in charge of greeting guests.
"Boss, what are your orders?" The boss called, and the manager immediately ran over and said attentively.
"This is my neighbor's daughter Zhu Wanfang, take care of her." Lei Weidong pointed at Zhu Wanfang and said.
"Understood, boss, I will definitely take care of Miss Zhu." Looking at the slim Zhu Wanfang, the manager knew that this girl was very lucky, and she was spotted by the big boss on the first day she opened her business.
You need to take more care of her, maybe you will have to count on her when you become the boss lady in the future.
"How is business today?" Lei Weidong asked after looking at the crowds of people coming in and out of the store.
"It's great."
Speaking of business, the manager had a smile on his face, "The company's positioning is really accurate. Not only is the interior decoration of the store better than any store on this street, it is also equipped with air conditioning. It looks like a high-end restaurant, and the price is not high. It is different from other stores."
Just like a fast food restaurant, it attracts a lot of people."
"There are so many people here, no one is using the air conditioner, right?" Lei Weidong asked as he saw that more customers in the store were packing up and leaving than sitting down to eat. He only cared about the results and not about the process.
"It's not hot now, and few people are installing air conditioners. What will happen when the weather gets hot?"
"Thanks to Miss Zhu." The manager pointed at Zhu Wanfang and said, "During the training, Zhu Wanfang proposed a solution to this problem.
That's the kind of package that's free for takeout and comes with some coupons that can be used next time.
This makes many people covet the benefits of coupons and choose takeout, thereby saving store space and improving utilization rate."
"How is the effect?" Lei Weidong asked.
"Very good, there are obviously more people taking away food than sitting down to eat." The manager smiled, "I have arranged for people to do statistics, and the results will be reported in the evening. All restaurants will use this method starting tomorrow."
"Xiaofang, how did you come up with a solution?" The manager's words surprised Lei Weidong. He didn't expect that Zhu Wanfang had the talent for business.
"This is all accumulated in daily life. My mother is such a person. Sometimes in order to save a dime when buying vegetables, she will visit several vegetable markets and buy the cheapest vegetables.
I think since this is the case when shopping for groceries, then it must be the same when eating in restaurants, especially in fast food restaurants like ours, where all we eat is simple fast food.
There is no difference between eating in a store and eating outside. The most important thing is whether there is air conditioning or not. For a few cents, many people are willing to spend their lunch or dinner under the shade of a tree." Zhu Wanfang lowered her head and said.
"That's a lot, Xiaofang. It's too unfair to be a waiter with your talent. Manager, let Xiaofang be included in the preparatory store manager training and she will become a mature store manager within half a year." Patting Xiaofang's shoulder, Lei Wei said
Dong looked at the manager and ordered.
"Understood!" The manager nodded, feeling even more fond of Zhu Wanfang.
"How about the takeout business? Are there many people?" Lei Weidong asked again.
“One thing, not too much, is probably because it’s not famous yet, and people still like to come and pick up food like hamburgers and fried chicken.
It should be better to wait until the Chinese restaurant opens.”
"Increase publicity. In addition to the neighbors, the people in the surrounding shops and offices are the main force. They are busy with work and have no time to go out to restaurants. Time is money to them." Seeing that the manager did not attach much importance to the takeout, Lei Lei
Weidong specifically reminded.
"Boss, I will arrange for the delivery staff who have nothing to do to hand out business cards, and try to take over the delivery business as soon as possible." Seeing Lei Weidong's anger, the manager nodded quickly to express that he would work hard.
"Xiaofang, leave your work to others, you can just apologize to the boss and talk to the boss here." Seeing Lei Weidong wave, the manager left wisely, but before leaving, Zhu Wanfang stayed.
"Brother Dong, are you from this store?" Zhu Wanfang asked carefully after the manager left.
"Not just this one, I have opened more than a dozen stores this time. If it were not for lack of staff, I could open hundreds of stores." Lei Weidong motioned to Zhu Wanfang to sit down and casually handed her the Coke she ordered.
"There are hundreds of stores, Brother Dong, aren't you a policeman?" Zhu Wanfang asked a little strangely while drinking the very Coke that Lei Weidong handed over.
Chapter completed!
