Chu Zhongtian, 26 years old this year, is a reserve store manager of 99 Braised Chicken Co., Ltd. He is a newly promoted person. It has only been ten days since he was promoted to reserve store manager.
The excitement of being just promoted to reserve store manager has not completely faded from his heart.
Well, the reserve store manager is not the store manager.
The so-called reserve store manager is similar to the reserve cadres of many companies. To put it simply, after being promoted to the reserve store manager, he is waiting in line to be assigned to the company when a new store opens.
The manager of the new store.
If you insist on understanding the reserve store manager as a young pioneer, someone who is about to become a member of the league, that’s not impossible. That’s what it means anyway.
As a reserve store manager, Chu Zhongtian's current job is actually the same as before. He is still the chef of a branch of 99 Braised Chicken, and his daily job is still to stand in front of the stove and cook.
No, he had another busy day today. It was already past 9 o'clock at night. Seeing that it was time to get off work, he breathed a sigh of relief, threw down the frying spoon, took off the apron from his waist, and wiped his forehead with the apron he took off.
beads of sweat and looked a little tired.
He walked outside the back door of the kitchen, smoked a cigarette, rested for a while, and then returned to the kitchen to clean up. After the kitchen was cleaned, he changed out of his chef uniform and protective shoes, and talked to his colleagues in the kitchen with a smile.
Say hello and go to get off work.
To him, this seems to be a very ordinary day, there is still no pie falling from the sky, and aliens still have not invaded the earth.
Baibai's chubby girlfriend was already waiting outside as usual, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands.
When Chu Zhongtian walked over with a smile, his girlfriend smiled and handed him a cup of milk tea, "Drink! Replenish your strength!"
Chu Zhongtian took it with a smile, stepped forward and hugged her waist, and walked forward in the night.
As he walked, he said: "It's getting colder and colder at night. Please don't come to pick me up from get off work in the future."
"It's okay! Fat people are not afraid of the cold! Hehe."
His girlfriend's words made him laugh, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chubby face, but she wasn't angry and even made a face at him.
Then Chu Zhongtian became even happier.
And this is the main reason why he likes her. Although she is a little fatter, she is really his pistachio. No one stipulates that pistachios cannot be fat, right?
Besides, what’s wrong with being fatter?
He happened to be quite thin and easily felt cold in winter. Whenever it was cold, hugging her was like holding a warm hot water bottle, not to mention how comfortable it was.
"Manager Chu, are you hungry? Do you want me to accompany you for a midnight snack?" His female clerk asked him with a smile.
Chu Zhongtian smiled slightly, looked around subconsciously, and reminded in a low voice: "Dear, why did you call me the store manager outside again? I'm not the one yet. It's not good for my colleagues to hear."
The girl glanced at him and said with a smile: "What's the point? It's only a matter of time!"
Chu Zhongtian shook his head, "It's still early! I have just been promoted to reserve store manager, and there are several others ahead of me. Moreover, our company has only recently expanded two new stores, and it may not be my turn within half a year.
"
"Really? It takes so long?" The girl was a little disappointed.
But he quickly showed a smile and cheered him up, "It's okay! It's just half a year, let's wait! Didn't you always say that if you have a good meal, you won't be late! Half a year will pass quickly, right? Hehe."
"You! Haha."
Chu Zhongtian rubbed her hair, his smile showing a bit of emotion.
At this moment, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.
"Who is calling you at this time? Is it your home?" the girl asked curiously.
Chu Zhongtian did not answer immediately, but first took out his mobile phone. When he saw the caller ID, he subconsciously stopped, stretched out his hand to make a silent gesture to her, and whispered: "It's Vice President Kuang, please be quiet!"
"Oh, okay." The girl held his right arm and climbed on him like a sloth, blinking at him with big curious eyes.
Chu Zhongtian took a deep breath, answered the call, and put the phone to his ear, "Good evening, Mr. Kuang! If you have any instructions, please tell me!"
As soon as the phone call came through, Chu Zhongtian spoke immediately, with the tone of a good subordinate in China.
On the phone, Kuang Longfei said: "Chu Zhongtian, I have good news for you. Another new store of the company has officially entered the preparation period. Starting tomorrow, you will officially take office! You will take the lead in the preparations for the new store. If it goes well,
, when a new store opens, you will be the store manager! How is it? Are there any problems? "
Chu Zhongtian suddenly trembled, his eyes widened slightly, he straightened his back subconsciously, and unconsciously raised his voice, "Okay! No! Please rest assured, Mr. Kuang, Chu Zhongtian will definitely go all out, and he will definitely do his best."
Don’t let Mr. Kuang down!”
Kuang Longfei: "Haha, it's good to have confidence. Then come to the company tomorrow morning! Come see me first when you come, and I'll give you a few more words. There are also HR procedures, and you also have to go through the process."
Chu Zhongtian: "Okay! Yes! Mr. Kuang, please rest assured."
After subconsciously agreeing, after a pause, Chu Zhongcai lowered his voice and asked: "Uh, Mr. Kuang, then my old job... I left suddenly. Is there anyone who can take over my old job?"
Kuang Longfei: "You don't need to worry about this. Have you forgotten that in addition to you reserve store managers, the company also has reserve chefs?"
Chu Zhongtian blinked and said oh, his expression a little hesitant.
Kuang Longfei: "Okay, it's settled, you come to the company tomorrow and hang up!"
Chu Zhongtian, who originally looked hesitant, said quickly when he heard that he was about to hang up: "Hey, Mr. Kuang! Mr. Kuang, wait a moment!"
Kuang Longfei: "Well? What else do you want?"
Chu Zhongtian: "Well, Mr. Kuang... I would like to ask, how many branches will our company expand this time? Haha, after all, there are several reserve store managers ahead of me. Well, I'm just a little curious...
"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Kuang Longfei's voice came again, "I didn't need to tell you about this originally, but since you asked, it doesn't hurt to tell you. The company will announce the new plan announced by President Yuan at the meeting today.
With a bank loan of 5 million, we will strive to expand 10 branches every month. You are lucky! You are one of the 10 store managers this month. Work hard! Don’t be compared with others in the same period.
, let alone be compared to the store manager from this month on! Do you understand?"
Chu Zhongtian was already stunned.
Loan 5 million?
Starting from this month, will we expand 10 branches every month?
Is this a step too big?
Fortunately, he still had sense in his heart and knew that these problems were not his thing to worry about. He straightened his face and said, "I understand! I will do my best!"
Kuang Longfei: "Well, have a good rest tonight! Starting from tomorrow, you will be busy. Goodbye!"
Chu Zhongtian: "Well, goodbye Mr. Kuang!"
…
At the end of the call, Chu Zhongtian frowned and squinted. Before he put the phone back in his trouser pocket, his fat girlfriend who had been holding his arm asked him curiously, "My dear, what did Mr. Kuang just tell you? I seem to have heard what he said.
Are you going to be a store manager?"
After hearing this, Chu Zhongtian came back to his senses, nodded slightly, touched her head, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Well, yes! From tomorrow on, you can finally call me Manager Chu in an upright manner!"
hehe."
The fat girl blinked, a little confused, "But didn't you just say that you would have to wait at least half a year?"
Chu Zhongtian hugged her and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "This is all thanks to Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan is brave enough. Mr. Kuang just told me that Mr. Yuan is going to borrow 5 million from the bank this time, and then use this money
Qian, starting from this month, we will expand to 10 new stores every month. Haha, you man and I are lucky to be one of the first batch of 10 store managers."
The fat girl was a little stunned, but there was still doubt in her eyes, "Well, then you, Mr. Yuan, are really courageous, but...since she is so courageous, why not expand dozens of branches at once?
What? Why do you have to come month after month?"
Chu Zhongtian laughed, looked at her, and said with a smile: "What do you know? Do you think that the store manager and chef like me are just cabbage? You can have as much as you want?"
That all needs to be reserved in advance! If you open 10 branches every month, you will have to promote 10 reserve store managers every month. This pace is already very fast, right? If it goes faster, the promoted store managers will have to
There is a problem and my personal quality cannot keep up."
"That's it...it seems to be true..." The fat girl finally understood.
…
Sun Quan heard what Yuan Shuiqing said about his daughter-in-law Yuan Shuiqing's actions when he had a video chat with her the next night.
He was also quite surprised by Yuan Shuiqing's generosity.
Before, when Lorna went to Shanghai to open up a new market, Yuan Shuiqing loaned Lorna 3 million from the bank. Now that 3 million has not been repaid, she actually borrowed another 5 million this time...
Coupled with the mortgage of their villa, the amount owed to the bank suddenly doubled.
But he was just a little surprised. He was not nervous about Yuan Shuiqing's decision this time. First of all, their company's current scale was already quite large. Even if they suddenly borrowed 5 million yuan, the company's debt ratio was not too exaggerated.
Moreover, the profitability of his company, especially bank statements, has always been very good.
In addition, his Xianyu Studio can also sell off several copyrights at any time to get a sum of money back, and he also earns hundreds of thousands in monthly royalties from writing novels.
With such profitability, how nervous is he?
He even admired his wife's courage in his heart. He just heard from him a few days ago that he would advertise their company on Blueberry Channel's new program. She dared to expand the company in such a big way. Such a decision would not be considered by ordinary women.
I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to do it casually.
But his wife Yuan Shuiqing dared.
He was very pleased that this wife was worth marrying. Even if he married a dozen more women like this, he would be confident that he could afford to support her. Of course, then again, even if a dozen women were willing to marry him, he wouldn't have the money to do so.
