Chapter 2453

Just as Zhou Anlei returned to the shop, a Mercedes-Benz with Beijing license plates slowly drove into the parking lot in front of the Xiangjiang Qiudongfang Shopping Plaza. Immediately after, a commercial vehicle with Fengjing license plates also stopped behind it.

The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened slowly, and a short, somewhat fat man got out of the car; it was Shen Mingsheng. He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt on his upper body and black suit trousers on his lower body.

At this time, the door of the commercial vehicle was also pushed open, and Qin Changzhi got out of the car. The first thing this guy did was look up and examine the huge rectangular building in front of him, shock appearing in his eyes.

The exterior design of this building was extremely modern, with simple and smooth lines, and the glass curtain wall shone with dazzling light in the sun. Although it was only four stories high, it gave people a shocking visual impact.

What a pity, Qin Changzhi sighed lightly with regret. Such a building, not to mention in a small city like Jiangzhou, even if placed in Fengjing, would definitely become a landmark building and a city business card for Fengjing.

At the same time, a complex feeling surged in his heart, containing anger, frustration, and helplessness. Because this originally belonged to his most brilliant political achievement, but in the end, because of Zhou Andong, he lost everything and was forced to be transferred away from Jiangzhou.

It could be said that he lost very miserably and still hadn't walked out of the previous crisis, and the one who plunged him into such a predicament was Zhou Andong. It could be said that Zhou Andong was a thorn stuck in his heart; as long as Zhou Andong didn't die, the pain in his heart would never stop.

"Mayor Qin, let's go."

Qin Changzhi came back to his senses and said: "General Manager Shen, there is no restaurant here."

"There is, it opens today." Shen Mingsheng said with a smile: "It's a bun shop, I'll treat you to eat."

Shen Mingsheng had been in Jiangzhou for several days and had been selecting a site for the automotive manufacturing R&D base. Yesterday evening, Feng Zhengmin, the director of the municipal government office, specially took them to Fatty Sister's Bun Shop to eat and introduced Zhou Anlei and Fatty Sister to him.

At first, he thought this bun shop was opened by a relative of Feng Zhengmin, otherwise why would he bring him to such a roadside shop to eat? But when Feng Zhengmin introduced Zhou Anlei and Fatty Sister to him, he suddenly realized.

He immediately associated Zhou Anlei with Zhou Andong, and when he was introduced further, it verified his guess: Zhou Anlei was Zhou Andong's cousin.

There was nothing to say about this; no matter what this small shop looked like or whether the buns were delicious, he would have to come and support it often in the future. Then, when he took the first bite of the bun, he understood why such a small fly-ridden shop had such good business; the buns were indeed delicious.

Then, he also learned from Feng Zhengmin that Fatty Sister's Bun Shop, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang Shopping Plaza branch, would open tomorrow. This morning, he was still thinking that he must bring people to support it in the evening, and he was even pondering what to send as a congratulatory gift.

However, what he didn't expect was that Qin Changzhi suddenly contacted him and asked to meet him at noon. Since he had already promised his father-in-law to meet Qin Changzhi, there was naturally no reason to refuse, otherwise it would be equivalent to slapping his father-in-law in the face.

"Buns?" Qin Changzhi was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Mingsheng to treat him to buns, but he quickly reacted and nodded with a smile: "To be able to have General Manager Shen bring me here to eat, these buns must be very unique."

"Unique is not the word." Shen Mingsheng said as he walked: "But they are really delicious; you'll understand when you eat them in a while."

Qin Changzhi joked: "I'm a bit impatient now."

As the two chatted, they walked along the Cherry Blossom Avenue toward the back, which was only a few steps away, and then they saw the antique sign of Fatty Sister's Bun Shop at a glance. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could clearly see the exquisite and luxurious decoration inside the shop, as well as the lively scene of guests filling the place.

When the two walked into the shop, a waitress handed them a number slip with a smile and guided them to sit in the rest area next to the cashier. There were still a few tables here, with chess, Gomoku, and poker placed on them, obviously prepared for guests waiting for a table.

Shen Mingsheng curiously examined the surrounding environment, his gaze falling on two young people waiting for a table nearby, who were playing chess. Then, he looked down at the number slip in his hand; all of this made him feel very novel.

It wasn't that he hadn't queued up to buy things, but no matter what he bought, everyone would honestly stand outside and wait in line. Never before had he seen anything like this, issuing number slips and having a dedicated waiting area.

This not only avoided customers losing patience due to waiting too long, but also provided chess, Gomoku, and poker, allowing customers to pass the time while waiting.

At the same time, Shen Mingsheng felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Such a restaurant, it would be unreasonable if it didn't become popular. Moreover, not just in Jiangzhou, even if it opened in any place in the country, as long as the taste of the buns wasn't too terrible, he dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the business would be just as booming.

However, who made this perfect marketing plan? Could it be Zhou Anlei and Fatty Sister? Thinking of this, Shen Mingsheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Last night he chatted with Zhou Anlei and Fatty Sister for a while, and from their conversation, he noticed that these two looked very honest, but obviously weren't the type to do business.

With Fatty Sister's skills, letting them guard this small shop, maintaining a living certainly wouldn't be a problem. But if they wanted to make the business bigger and stronger, relying on the two of them alone would probably be quite difficult.

Even though he learned last night that they opened a branch here in Qiaonan, Shen Mingsheng only thought it was a small shop with a small area. But when he arrived here, he found that the actual situation was very different from what he had imagined.

"No cheating!" A loud shout suddenly came, and the young man playing chess nearby shouted with a face full of displeasure, which also instantly pulled Shen Mingsheng, who was deep in thought, back to reality. At this very moment, the name Zhou Andong suddenly popped into Shen Mingsheng's mind.

Zhou Andong and Zhou Anlei were cousins, and Zhou Anlei opened a bun shop, and the taste was quite good. There was no reason for Zhou Andong, this cousin, not to help out and help plan it.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingsheng's thoughts finally cleared, and all the previous doubts were resolved. He began to carefully examine the interior decoration of the bun shop.

And at this time, Qin Changzhi was still in a daze. He had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had to queue up to eat at a restaurant. What made him feel even more incredible was that the business of this bun shop was actually so good, simply exceeding the scope of his cognition.

Moreover, the decoration of this bun shop was also too luxurious. Qin Changzhi muttered in his heart, you are selling buns, what's the use of decorating so well? In his view, such a big shop couldn't be taken down without an investment of more than one hundred thousand. Just looking at this decoration, the money spent wouldn't be small.

"Please number 167 to dine!" Accompanied by the shouting sound coming from the speaker hanging overhead, the waitress responsible for issuing numbers also followed up and shouted loudly: "Number 167, who is number 167?"

"Here!" A response came from the waiting area, and a woman was seen quickly raising the number slip in her hand, and the man beside her saw this and hurriedly picked up a little girl and stood up.

As time passed, the sound of calling numbers rang out from time to time. After about twenty minutes, the sound of calling number 168 to dine finally came from the speaker.

Shen Mingsheng stood up and said: "Mayor Qin, it's our turn."
