On Sunday morning, after a hurried breakfast, Lin An rushed to Anyuan Square.

Yesterday, he asked the head teacher for an afternoon of sick leave, and he and Yang Wenmin went to Xiangnan. After many days of investigation and analysis of several sites, and on-the-spot comparison, the company finally selected the location of the branch next to the most prosperous pedestrian street in the city center.

There is a new building there, because the developer wants to sell the whole building, and the price is relatively high, although the location is good, but few people are interested. For the Anyuan branch, the location and size of the building are suitable, and the square area of the building is three or four times larger than the current Changxi Anyuan Plaza, and the price is also several times more expensive.

The supermarket's unexpectedly huge profit in the past two months, coupled with the large amount of deposit paid by the merchants who have settled in recently, has a lot of confidence in the company's available funds without affecting the normal operation of Changxi Anyuan Plaza.

However, compared to the location of the Shonan branch, these funds are stretched, and to put it mildly, it is not enough!

In the office on the fifth floor of Anyuan Plaza, Lin An and Yang Wenmin, together with several newly appointed middle-level managers of the company, were discussing the project of the branch all morning.

Based on the previous popularity of merchants applying to settle in Anyuan Plaza, they used preferential quotas to attract these merchants and pay more rent for one quarter or even several quarters, but compared to the entire branch project, this is only a drop in the bucket. If you want to get the branch project up and running quickly, you can only continue to borrow from the bank, or raise funds.

Today's Anyuan supermarket, with a large number of merchants settled in and opened, is gradually called Anyuan Plaza by everyone. With the sales situation of the supermarket and the huge daily traffic of customers, it is not impossible to continue to ask the county bank for additional loans, but if you think about the approved amount, you can see that there is not much.

The rest is financing, with the existing fame and development prospects of Anyuan Plaza, it is a good way, but as soon as Yang Wenmin proposed it, Lin An rejected it.

At the end of the meeting, Lin An asked Yang Wenmin to lead the people to make the detailed plan of the branch first, as for the funding gap, he was ready to wait for a few days and go to Xiangnan with Yang Wenmin again to solve the problem.

According to the previous plan, the branch project would start in at least a few months, and more likely not until next year. The unexpected fire of the supermarket, coupled with the fact that the plaza was working well, forced him to advance the plan. He had already figured out how to solve the problem of funding, but now he had to think about how to explain it......

Returning to the rental house from Anyuan Plaza, Lin An changed into the slightly mature outfit on his body, and after thinking about it, he put on a school uniform.

Pinching the time, he didn't go out until almost eleven o'clock, and it was not too late to go at this time, of course, he purely didn't want to go early.

When he walked to the old commercial street, he couldn't help but be stunned, just a few days did not come, and found that most of the shops on this street were closed, and the rest of them, all posted outside the store with advertising slogans such as "clearance sale" and "inventory promotion", even so, the flow of customers on the street was still much less than before.

When he arrived at Tang Ji, Lin An was stunned again when he saw the situation. The store was in a mess, the dining tables had already been emptied, and there was not even a stool left, and Tang Jianhe was leaning there looking through the account books next to the cashier counter that could not be removed.

Tang Jianhe wanted to have a treat, and asked Tang Xiaonan to tell him that he had come to Tang Ji, he thought he was eating in Tang Ji, but looking at the situation in front of him, he obviously guessed wrong, "Uncle Tang, has your store been moved?"

Listening to the shouting, Tang Jianhe raised his head, and after seeing that it was Lin An, he put the account book into the bag and picked it up to greet him, "I moved two days ago, and Anyuan is finishing the finishing touches on the kitchen decoration, and in a few days, next week, it should be able to reopen." ”

"Yes. If you want to eat in the future, you can only go to Anyuan Square. Lin An answered regretfully, if it weren't for Tang Xiaonan's factor, he would have regretted it even more.

"Haha~ The square is not far from here, if you have a holiday on the weekend, you can go over if you have time, and show Uncle Tang if there is anything to improve in the new store!" Tang Jianhe laughed heartily and said, "I want to invite your relative to have a meal, he said that the company has rules and cannot accept merchants to eat and drink, otherwise it will be very strict." There's no way around it, he said that he could give that quota empty, it just happened that you said hello, otherwise, that quota would be given to someone else the next day, this time it's really ......"

Lin An waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Uncle Tang, you're welcome, I'm just saying hello by the way, it's nothing." The important thing is that there is still a place on the other side of the square, otherwise it would be useless for my cousin to try to help. ”

"Anyway, this time it's more of you and your cousin, especially you. By the way, do you know that Tang Ji has closed early, and I haven't seen you come over during this time, no way, I'll let Xiao Nan talk about it when I meet you at school. Tang Jian said apologetically, "Xiao Nan said, you have to go to the student union every day after school to help, and give the school a blackboard report or something, and you don't have time to come." No, the treat has been delayed until today......"

Lin An grinned, the matter of the treat was the first time I heard Tang Xiaonan mention it on Friday. However, he was able to figure it out, and he didn't debunk Tang Xiaonan, and replied, "Yes, the student union has been busy recently, and I haven't had time, so I should say I'm sorry!"

"Haha~ Don't talk about this, it's good that you're here today. Wait, I closed the door. Tang Jianhe led Lin An out of Tang Ji, glanced at it nostalgically, and then slowly pulled down the roller shutter. After locking the door, he got up and said to Lin An, "I said that I had a treat today, and I was going to invite you to eat at Xinghua Hotel, but the owner of that hotel was temporarily closed, and he didn't call home until ten o'clock to tell me." ”

"It's nothing, you don't have to look for any restaurants, I'm all the same, the more casual the better. To be honest, compared to those restaurants outside, I think Tang Ji's things are much better. Lin An took the conversation with a smile. It's just a meal, it doesn't matter where he eats, but instead of eating here in Tang Ji, he is inexplicably more settled in his heart.

"I love to hear this!Haha, when I hear you say this, then I will rest assured, your Aunt Tang also said that she will do it at home, and the treat will be more sincere. Tang Jianhe nodded and laughed.

Lin An is not picky about eating, how could Tang Jianhe not see it after eating in Tang Ji for so long. Before inviting guests to choose a hotel, he deliberately found a restaurant with the taste of Helin'an, who knows, something happened to that hotel, and there was no way to pass at noon. If he hastily finds another one, it is estimated that Lin An will not have an opinion no matter how bad the food is, but since it is a thank you treat, he wants Lin An to be satisfied, and he has helped so much in vain.

On the phone that day, he contacted Lin An's relative, and then went to sign the contract, as negotiated on the phone, Anyuan Company not only made an exception to reduce the deposit by a lot of money, but also took the initiative to reduce the rent by half, thinking of this, he was even more grateful.

"Ahem~" Lin An choked on a cough for no reason. Today is the weekend, no, even if it is not a weekend, under normal circumstances, Tang Xiaonan should have lunch at home.

"Why, don't worry, but your Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang's craftsmanship. Sue you, we used to open a restaurant, and then Tang Ji moved to the old commercial street, and then it was changed into a powder shop. Now that we have moved into Anyuan Plaza, we are still thinking about opening the hotel again in the future. Tang Jianhe saw the expression on Lin An's face, smiled, and then walked to the side of the road and waved to the taxi in the distance, turned his face and said, "It's not blowing with you, your Aunt Tang is the best at frying a few dishes, I don't dare to say that I am the first in the county, at least not worse than anyone else." ”

"Uncle Tang, or ......" Lin An raised his hand and grabbed his forehead. He really wanted to say that it really didn't matter if he ate this meal or not! If he had to have a treat, he could find any restaurant he wanted, and if it didn't work out, it didn't matter if he made an appointment in the future, he was guaranteed to be on call.

Stopping the taxi, Tang Jianhe opened the door and waved like a hesitant Lin An, "When I came over, your Aunt Tang had already gone to buy vegetables, and it is estimated that she has come back to clean up at home now." Let's go, let you have a good taste of my and your Aunt Tang's stir-fry skills today, and give some advice by the way. Haha~ Maybe when Tang Ji's business gets better, we really want to open a restaurant. ”

When it comes to this, what else can Lin An say, how else can he say it, he can only obediently follow and get into the car.

The route taken by the taxi, Lin An was more familiar, it was the direction to Ruan Ruan's house, and after arriving at the place, he found that as long as he turned two more small intersections, he could get to Ruan Ruan's house.

The car stopped in front of a six-story old residential building, and Lin An went up the stairs with Tang Jianhe.

Climbed to the fourth floor and went to the door of a house with a silver security door installed in the corridor, Tang Jianhe went to ring the doorbell while introducing Lin An to the neighborhood.

After a while, there was a shout from the room, and the door opened.
