Opening a branch is a big deal, and Zhang Fan feels the need to discuss it with Su Rou.

Before Su Rou left, Zhang Fan called Su Rou down and said his thoughts: "Sister Rou, I want to open a branch in the next three days, what do you think?"

Su Rou was taken aback, looked at Zhang Fan with strange eyes, and asked rhetorically: "Zhang Fan, why do you suddenly want to open a branch? Opening a branch is not a joke. ”

"I know, that's what I think-" Zhang Fan smiled and said, "If you only run one store, the upper limit is so high, but if you make a gourmet store a brand, then even if you are no longer in a gourmet store in the future, you can make a profit in the future, because a brand is a business opportunity." ”

Su Rou nodded in agreement and said, "I agree too, but don't you think it's a little earlier for us to open a branch now?"

The outsider's vision and the insider's vision are always different, in the eyes of outsiders, the business of Splendid Food City is a hot mess, but Su Rou knows that Splendid Food City is still a seedling in the growth stage, and in front of it, there are many towering trees.

The current Splendid Food City is not enough to attract their attention, and when they notice the growth prospects of the Splendid Food City, they may intervene.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and in the end it will be held to death, or it will be killed. This is the result that Su Rou is most afraid of seeing.

Zhang Fan was silent for a while and said, "I understand, but I want to fight." ”

Su Rou's face changed deeply, and she hesitated for two minutes before she raised her head to look at Zhang Fan and asked again, "Have you thought about it?"

Zhang Fan nodded firmly: "I've thought about it." ”

"Okay, then I'll go and see if there are any stores around where I can buy them. Su Rou smiled, then sat back down in front of the computer, tapping on the keyboard.

"Thank you. Seeing Su Rou believe in herself so much, Zhang Fan thanked from the bottom of his heart.

Su Rouwan smiled and said, "It's all your credit that the gourmet restaurant can have today." I've decided to follow you, and in that case, I have to support all your decisions. ”

This is also Su Rou's words from the bottom of her heart, if Su Rou had opened her own store instead of cooperating with Zhang Fan, she would definitely not be as popular as she is now.

It was Zhang Fan who took her with one hand.

She was grateful, so she supported Zhang Fan's decision without hesitation.

In the afternoon, Zhang Fan and Su Rou did not get off work, but continued to stay in the food store to discuss the opening of a branch.

Su Rou contacted a total of three stores, but without exception, they were all excluded by Zhang Fan.

Since you want to open a branch, you have to open it around the main store, at least not too far, among the three, two of them are far away from Nantang, and the third one is a lion with a big mouth, and Su Rou hung up the phone directly.

"There are no suitable stores. Su Rou said helplessly.

Zhang Fan sat on the sofa frowning and thinking, and after a while, he looked at the time, it was already three o'clock, and it was time for the kindergarten to get out of school.

So he got up from the sofa, the brows on his face disappeared, he smiled heartily, and said, "Sister Rou, let's talk about the branch tomorrow, the kindergarten is almost over, go pick up the child." ”

Hearing this, Su Rou also looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, 3:05.

Looking at the time, Su Rou also turned off the computer and smiled: "Together?"

"Good. Zhang Fan readily agreed.

At three o'clock, Zhang Fan and Su Rou closed the door of the store, and then took the bus to the kindergarten.

On the way, Su Rou answered a phone call. After hanging up the phone, Su Rou became preoccupied.

On the bus, Su Rou sat on the inside, didn't speak, held her chin with one hand, and looked at the scenery outside the window, leaving only Zhang Fan with a beautiful side face.

Zhang Fan glanced at Su Rou a few times, and found that Su Rou didn't notice it, still looking out the window, looking preoccupied.

So, Zhang Fan shouted: "Sister Rou?"

Su Rou didn't listen, and continued to look out the window.

"Sister Rou?" This time, Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Su Rou.

"Huh?" Su Rou came back to her senses, noticed Zhang Fan's strange gaze, and immediately smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Zhang Fan, I'm distracted." ”

Zhang Fan said worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"It's fine. Su Rou shook her head and said, "It's just that there have been more things recently." ”

"Sister Rou, it's really hard for you. Looking at Su Rou's tired appearance, Zhang Fan said guiltily: "You are in charge of some internal and external affairs of the gourmet restaurant, I can only cook, I can't help with other things, and you have to go home to take care of the children......"

Without waiting for Zhang Fan to finish speaking, Su Rou smiled understandingly, and said gently: "You just need to cook, and leave the rest to me." I'm not thinking about the company, I'm thinking about my own. ”

"Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help?"

"It's nothing, when you reach my age and start a family, you'll understand. Su Rou shook her head and said with a smile: "Work, children, and parents must be taken care of." In addition to the hee-hee things I have to worry about, I also have to worry about my parents' affairs. ”

"What's wrong with my uncle and aunt?"

Su Rou was silent for a while, and then said softly, "My dad is sick." ”

"Leukemia. Su Rou added.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan's face immediately changed, and he immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"It's fine. Su Rou stroked the fine messy hair on her forehead, and said with a flat smile: "This is what my mother just told me on the phone, and I checked it out today." ”

Zhang Fan was silent, and he couldn't say how sad he was.

Sometimes, people are really vulnerable. Although people will eventually die, they prefer to walk quietly in peace rather than suffer from illness.

Sneaking a glance at Su Rou, she was still looking out the window, and after learning the bad news, she was very calm.

It's just that at the corner of her eye, a crystal tear fell very faintly.

Zhang Fan took out a pack of napkins from his pocket and handed it to Su Rou.

"Thank you. ”

Su Rou took it, then took out a napkin and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I don't know about it yet, I hope she never knows, I don't want her to be sad anymore. Drying away her tears, Su Rou said calmly: "Laugh generously when you laugh, and hide and cry secretly when you cry." ”

Laugh generously, and cry to hide and cry.

Listening to what Su Rou said, Zhang Fan looked at Su Rou in a daze, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but his mouth opened, but he couldn't say a word.

"Get out of the car, let's go. ”

The bus creaked to a stop, and Su Rou walked out from the inside and took the lead to go down.

Zhang Fan walked behind Su Rou and quietly looked at her back.

Her thin body has endured too much.

The kindergarten had already been dismissed, Qiuqiu and Xixi ran out of the kindergarten quickly with their schoolbags, and a fierce man threw himself into the arms of Zhang Fan and Su Rou.

While Zhang Fan was holding Qiuqiu, his eyes kept paying attention to Su Rou.

He found a detail, hugged Hee Hee today, and she hugged Hee Hee very tightly.

Just looking at Su Rou hugging him, Zhang Fan said in his heart: "She is a good woman." ”

"It's a big girl. After thinking about it, Zhang Fan added another sentence in his heart.
