Chapter 287: Coincidence

In the first month after becoming the boss, Ma Meng worked extremely hard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to save costs, he had to get up at 3 a.m. every morning and drive to the large vegetable market in the suburbs to buy groceries. Because, only at this point in time, can you get the freshest and cheapest wholesale vegetables.

When he returned to the store, he supervised all the staff to wash the vegetables one by one and process them in advance. For example, wide powder, hairy belly, etc., these must be soaked in advance.

For example, dumplings, crispy meat, hot pot restaurants, etc., all need to be prepared by chefs and staff in advance.

After all this, Ma Meng finally had more than an hour of free time to rest, and he was not sleepy, so he always took advantage of this time to happily fall asleep in the box of the store.

Then it was noon, and the business of the hot pot restaurant was actually not very good at noon, because people who were busy with work, except for weekends when they were not working, rarely had time to come to the hot pot restaurant to eat a long hot pot leisurely.

However, no matter how few customers there are, Ma Meng, the waiters, and the chefs must show their best condition, be ready for battle, and serve the customers with the most patience.

In the afternoon, this process was repeated, and in the evening, Ma Meng and all the attendants, including his wife, Mei Fei, were often in a hurry.

Therefore, Ma Xiaomei's children's shoes every night homework was also taken to the store.

Such busyness made Ma Meng extremely tired. But he has been idle for more than a year, and he is not disgusted by such busyness, but likes it very much.

Because, such busyness means that he has an income, it means that his family no longer has to make ends meet, and it means that he no longer has to be looked at strangely by others.

However, what happened next was not as good as Ma Meng imagined, because he saw that the business of the hot pot restaurant was getting worse day by day.

Ma Meng knew in his heart that this was because it was close to the end of the year, and more and more migrant workers had returned to their hometowns for the New Year, and the whole city was a little deserted, so it was natural that the business of his hot pot restaurant would become a little colder.

At this time of the year, Ma Meng's project was almost over, and when his wife and his company started to take a holiday, the family of three would also take their children back to the small village where he was born to spend the New Year with his parents and siblings.

It's just that this year, Ma Meng thought about the huge loan he owed to the bank and the interest he had to pay every month, so he finally decided not to go home and stay in the city for the New Year.

After making this decision, Ma Meng called his parents and siblings to explain the situation and invite them to come to the city for the New Year.

It's just that his parents, who have rarely left home in his life, didn't agree, but told him to pay more attention to his body and not to be too tired.

Ma Meng understood in an instant, looked at the cash flow in the hot pot restaurant, and quietly sent money back to his parents behind his wife's back.

When Ma Meng finished busy January, when he settled the accounts at the end of the month, he found that the hot pot restaurant just looked very beautiful.

The turnover and profit margin are not as impressive as Lao Wang said. Because, in this era of economic downturn, more people are buying in groups.

A large number of group buying customers make the business of the hot pot restaurant look very good, but the actual profit margin is very low.

At the same time, Ma Meng also found that the monthly expenses of hot pot restaurants are also terrifying, including monthly rent, water and electricity, and labor.

In the first month after taking over the hot pot restaurant, Ma Meng finally found that he had only earned 10,000 yuan.

The seemingly large number of 10,000 yuan made him very disappointed in the face of the cost of 480,000 yuan he invested in the early stage and the amount of time and energy he spent every day.

After all, in Huaxia now, a middle-level white-collar worker earns at least more than 10,000 yuan per month, but those white-collar workers don't need to pay so much cost and don't need to take such a big risk.

At this time, Ma Meng recalled the whole process of taking over the hot pot restaurant, and he recalled that he believed in the wrong person.

Lao Wang, a bastard, it may be true that his father is sick, but the business of the hot pot restaurant is getting worse and worse, he doesn't make much money, and the risk is still big, and Lao Wang doesn't want to do it, which is also true.

It's just that this person is really a little inauthentic, and he bragged in front of his friends about how good the business of the hot pot restaurant was, which led him to believe him and fall for him, so he hastily made the idea of taking over the hot pot restaurant.

Only, who can be blamed for this? Ma Meng can only tell himself that it may be a blessing to suffer a loss and recognize a person.

It's just that from the day he figured it out, he deleted Lao Wang's mobile phone number from his mobile phone. Such a villain should be kept away.

When this number was calculated, Mei Fei was also a little disappointed, but she saw her husband's hard work, so she just buried her disappointment deep in her heart, but comforted Ma Menglai, she said: "Old Ma, we took over in the first month, it's good to be able to earn so much, at least it's better than you were idle before!" I believe in you, and you will definitely earn more in the future. ”

Hearing his wife's relief, Ma Meng's heart calmed down a little, and most of the 10,000 yuan was returned to the bank by Mei Fei.

Because, every day she owes a large amount of money to the bank, she is very uneasy, and she desperately hopes to pay off the loan as soon as possible.

With the rest of the money, their family of three spent a warm year in this city.

Although he does not have many relatives and friends like his hometown, he still feels very satisfied with his wife and lovely daughter.

One day during the Spring Festival, when Mei Fei was cooking in the kitchen, Ma Meng suddenly heard her mobile phone ringing in the living room, as if it was a prompt sound.

Ma Meng shouted into the kitchen: "Wife, your mobile phone is ringing, it seems to be a text message!" ”

Mei Fei replied in the kitchen: "Old Ma, I'm stir-frying, I'm not free, you can help me see who it is!" ”

Ma Mengyiyan picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, only to find that it was not a mobile phone text message, but a QQ prompt sound, and someone sent a mobile phone prompt sound with an average of one big red envelope.

Ma Meng clicked on it and took a look, a leisurely group, id gentle with the wind.

When he saw this ID and this group name, Ma Meng was a little confused, of course he added his wife's QQ friends, but the daily communication between the two of them has long been accustomed to using WeChat. It's been a long time since I've spoken in QQ.

And his wife's screen name and avatar are often changed, and Ma Meng can't remember it, when he used to talk about QQ, he used to find people by remarks.

It's just that I don't know when they started to rarely get on QQ, and I started to open QQ occasionally after I saw the leisurely book.

I didn't expect that the two of them would join this group so coincidentally?
