Chapter 639

"Look at you!" Zhou Andong said: "I told you not to be too curious, and you still ask why."

Jiang Yuyue rolled her eyes: "After talking for so long, it's all nonsense."

"What nonsense?" Jian Qiu came back with two bottles of Very Cola and handed one to Jiang Yuyue: "I haven't even tasted what our Very Cola tastes like yet."

The Fourth looked up at the cola in Jian Qiu and Jiang Yuyue's hands, blinking her big eyes, and licked her lips with her little tongue.

"Sister-in-law, where's mine?"

Jian Qiu looked down at the little girl and pinched her little nose: "Children can't drink cola."

The Fourth pouted, her eyelashes fluttering, her eyes teary; that aggrieved look made her look pitiful.

"Oh my!" Jian Qiu felt a pang of heartache and squatted down, hugging the Fourth, "Baby, don't be aggrieved; Dicos has cola, I'll buy you a cup when we go in, okay?"

The Fourth immediately beamed with joy: "Okay!"

Jian Qiu burst into laughter and affectionately pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks: "So you were tricking me."

"No!" The Fourth giggled, then smacked a kiss on Jian Qiu's face.

Jian Qiu laughed happily, stood up, and held the Fourth's hand: "It's about time, let's go in."

Zhou Andong nodded and walked toward the gate, with Jian Qiu holding the Fourth and Jiang Yuyue following behind him.

Because the time hadn't arrived yet and it hadn't opened for business, there were no customers inside, but there were quite a few people.

Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo were standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor, watching the excitement outside.

There were also more than twenty young men and women, sitting scattered around in groups of three or five, chatting about something.

"Brother Dong!" Tang Lin saw Zhou Andong and walked over with a smile.

Zhang Zuo snorted, lifted his head haughtily, and with his hands behind his back, continued to watch the lion dance outside.

"Sister Qiu!"

"Sister Qiu!"

"Brother Dong!"

Those young men and women sitting there were all people who hung out well with Tang Lin and Zhang Zuo, and were also regulars who often went to the bar to show their support.

Some recognized Jian Qiu and hurriedly stood up to greet her; there were also a few who recognized Zhou Andong and waved with a smile.

An Jing walked over: "You guys just sit by the window."

Zhou Andong nodded and sat down at a spot by the window on the first floor.

"How are the arrangements?" Jian Qiu asked.

An Jing said: "Everything is ready."

Zhou Andong looked outside: "The customer traffic today won't be small, so we must be well prepared."

An Jing smiled: "I transferred more than thirty veteran servers from Jiangzhou and Fengjing to lead the new ones. Moreover, the newly recruited servers have also undergone half a month of training, so there won't be any problems."

At this time, a woman of thirty-one or thirty-two, wearing a ladies' suit and sporting short hair, looking very capable, walked over quickly.

"General Manager An, there are five minutes left."

An Jing said: "Set off the firecrackers on time and open for business."

The woman said: "Aren't you going to say a few words?"

An Jing shook her head: "No!"

"Okay!" The woman walked away quickly.

An Jing looked at the woman's back and said with a smile: "Her name is Pan Huiling; she used to be a purchasing agent for the residents' canteen. Three years ago, the canteen closed due to poor management, and she pooled money with several employees to contract the canteen, and in less than half a year, she turned it around."

Speaking of this, An Jing snorted coldly: "No one noticed when the canteen closed, but once the business became hot, naturally someone set their eyes on it. Today this department inspects, tomorrow that department inspects."

Jian Minglang looked at the young man again, and at the anti-inflammatory water in his hand.

"This is an era where talents emerge in large numbers, and where there is ability, there is a stage." Zhou Andong shook his head slightly, "But it is also an era of man-eat-man."

In Zhou Andong's memory, there were several business owners with assets of tens or hundreds of billions who were unjustly imprisoned for no reason, their assets sold off cheaply or even confiscated.

And as for those unknown companies, there were countless that were inexplicably sold off after being seized and sealed.

"However!" Zhou Andong said: "She was able to turn around a bankrupt canteen, and the business was very hot, which proves she has great ability; cultivate her well, and she can take charge on her own in the future."

An Jing said with a smile: "That's what I thought too."

"Crackling!"

The sound of firecrackers rang out, the surrounding crowd quickly retreated, and thick smoke drifted with the wind; even inside the room, one could smell the sulfur.

An Jing turned and walked to the oversized cashier counter, clapping her hands: "Is everyone ready?"

The servers, who were already standing by, shouted in unison: "Ready."

An Jing said with a smile: "Then open for business."

Pan Huiling, standing at the main entrance, pushed open the door and placed the sign that said 'Open' outside.

"Oh my, it's open, let's go in and take a look."

A young man and a girl were the first to enter the door. Then their eyes couldn't take it all in; the first feeling was fresh and quiet, the overall colors were beige, gray, and other tones, and the specially customized and photographed hanging paintings on the walls were quite eye-catching.

There was also a twenty-meter-long oversized arc-shaped cashier counter, with a row of cash registers, which looked very shocking. A pillar in the middle was designed with a bar counter around it, with more than ten high stools arranged in a circle.

And the layout of the entire space was designed with different seating combinations. Whether it was a square table, a long table, or a round table, the low-hanging cylindrical lights above cast soft light, supplemented by partitions decorated with green plants, making each area look like a dining room at home, where one could dine, chat, or read as needed without being disturbed.

More and more customers came in; it was originally very noisy, but upon seeing this environment and listening to the light music playing on the speakers, they very naturally lowered their voices.

"So luxurious, it must be very expensive." A woman walked in and wanted to turn around and leave.

A man beside her grabbed her: "Since we're here, let's check the prices first."

The two followed the crowd to the cashier counter, stood at the end of the line, and looked up at the light box on the cashier counter.

"Huh!" The woman exclaimed, "It seems to be a bit cheaper than KFC and McDonald's."

The man nodded: "Indeed!"

In the time it took to say this, a very long queue had formed behind them.

"Look, there's an elevator over there, the second floor should have one too." The woman pointed to the right.

The man said: "Let's go upstairs to eat in a while."

Zhou Andong said: "I feel that Dicos's business will definitely be able to surpass KFC and McDonald's."

Jian Qiu said: "This decoration style is even better than Fengjing's; dining in such an environment is very comfortable."

Jiang Yuyue said: "Tomorrow, I'll bring all the employees of the company to show our support."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Your company only has a few people."

Jiang Yuyue rolled her eyes at him: "No matter how many people, coming to support you is giving you face."

Just at this moment, a strange gurgling sound reached the ears of the three.

The three turned their heads in unison and saw the Fourth, hugging the cola Jian Qiu had placed on the side, drinking it in big gulps.
