That night, Lao Lu made an appointment with the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department, and asked Qiao Bei to call Liu Yanqin and make an appointment to have dinner together, of course, at the Guanghan Building that Qiao Beixin took over.

With Liu Yanqin's re-explanation and Lao Lu's side drumming, the plan was taken away by the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department. During the whole process, Qiao Bei was basically a gag, and he really had no experience in dealing with superior leaders, let alone important people in the city.

Standing on the steps at the entrance of Guanghan Tower, Qiao Bei sincerely said to Lao Lu: "Uncle Lu, thank you!" ”

"Xiaobei, you have to get used to dealing with government officials. You have to understand that you are now the head of a business, not a thug who sells vegetables in the vegetable market, which is the essential difference. It's not about making a lot of profit for yourself, or making a fool of which leader, but about putting your own position in your heart right. Only if you are right, your business is right. ”

Lao Lu educated Qiao Bei, turned to Liu Yanqin and smiled: "Xiao Liu, you agreed." I'll get back to my VP to contact you and arrange the course according to your time. ”

"Mr. Lu, you think so highly of me, can I still refuse?" Liu Yanqin smiled.

"Okay, that's it. I still have to go back to the company, there have been too many things lately, and there are still a bunch of people waiting in the company. Lao Lu said goodbye to Liu Yanqin, and the driver who came to pick up at the door had already opened the door and waited.

Qiao Bei waved his hand and said with a cheap smile: "Uncle Lu, I won't tell my aunt that you have been to Ledu." ”

"You, there is no one to cure you! Xiaobei, hurry up and find a daughter-in-law, don't wander around all day. Lao Lu seems to have changed his impression of Qiao Bei, especially after Qiao Bei came back to rebuild the new city.

"No, it's enough for me to have Sister Qin......" Qiao Bei stretched out his hand to put his hand around Liu Yanqin's shoulder, and said with a cheap smile: "Beauty, have fun?" ”

"Little pervert!" Liu Yanqin pulled Qiao Bei's claws off and said with a sneer: "Mr. Lu is right, he should find you a daughter-in-law to take care of you." ”

"My love, in Santa Monica!" Qiao Bei looked up at the night sky at a forty-five degree angle, with a look of infatuation.

……

Baiguoyuan headquarters.

Xu Jing was annoyed.

Zhu Mingming has been sending flowers to himself for a week, and he shows up downstairs in the office on time every day when he gets off work, still dressed as a straight fake, with a big oily back combed on his head, a humble smile, and an obsessive look.

This can't be blamed on Zhu Mingming, because after Qiao Bei's *, he has become a full local product, and he is proud of it.

"Is he gone?" Xu Jing looked up and asked the front desk.

"No, I'm still standing downstairs. Sister Jing, how happy is it to have such a man who is obsessed with each other? If it were me, I would have to die a happy death. The front desk said with a smile.

Xu Jing sighed and said angrily: "His purpose is not pure, don't you know?" ”

"Men chasing women are originally impure in the first place! If it was only for the platonic spirit of love, then it would be good for him to write letters, why bother to guard you every day like this? The front desk was unimpressed.

"I told you you don't understand, you get off work first." Xu Jing didn't want to argue with the front desk, the little girl's family had watched too many TV series, so she thought why things were so beautiful or sad as in the TV series.

"Okay. Sister Jing, shall I go first? The front desk turned around and walked to the door, turned his head and said with a smile: "Sister Jing, do you want me to tell him that you are leaving?" ”

"Whatever you want." Xu Jing ignored the chatter at the front desk, in her mind, what was even more annoying than Zhu Mingming was the encroachment of Xincheng fruits and vegetables on the hundred fruit orchards.

After occupying a favorable location, Xincheng Fruits and Vegetables expanded aggressively. In less than half a month, Xincheng has quietly opened more than a dozen branches next to Baiguoyuan, and even opened directly next door to Baiguoyuan in some slightly remote residential areas, blatantly competing with Baiguoyuan.

This Qiao Bei, where did he get so much money?

Of course, Xu Jing didn't know that of the many stores that were opened in the future, each Xincheng only paid 100,000 yuan, and the rest were paid by the shopkeepers out of their own pockets. Seazen provides staff training, start-up capital, and the same supply of goods as other Xincheng branches.

The requirements for the franchise are simple: the company occupies the corresponding shares, the store changes its banner, and the reputation of the company is maintained. The only prerequisite is that if you have a branch in this neighborhood, you must be a resident of this neighborhood. If not, I'm sorry, no matter how good your conditions are, Xincheng will not approve to join.

In several communities with low living standards, the owners of Xincheng branches, relying on their own residents and familiarity, have pulled customers into their own stores with fruits and vegetables, and the sales of a single fruit in Baiguoyuan have plummeted.

Coupled with the fact that the owner asked for a rent increase from time to time, Xu Jing had to make concessions. After consulting Lu Wenlong, several branches with serious losses were closed one by one. But as soon as the things in the first-class Baiguoyuan branch were moved, the owner of the branch in the new city next door directly took down the previous store of Baiguoyuan, expanded the storefront, and firmly occupied the territory.

Xu Jing sorted out all the cancelled branches and reported to Lu Wenlong. Lu Wenlong looked at it very carefully and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Mr. Lu, you said that Qiao Bei opened so many branches, where did he get so much money?" What Xu Jing said makes sense, a store includes decoration, rent, and purchases, etc., and a larger one of three or five hundred thousand is definitely wanted.

A dozen, that's millions.

"It's not his money, there should be Lao Lu behind it!" This is Lu Wenlong's habitual thinking, if it weren't for Lao Lu, how would Qiao Bei have the money to buy his own shares?

"What do we do now?" Xu Jing filled Lu Wenlong's teacup with water, and handed it to Lu Wenlong with both hands: "Or, let's organize another promotion?" After all, in most parts of the city, we still have an absolute advantage. ”

Lu Wenlong's anxiety was much more serious than Xu Jing's, he not only had to worry about Xincheng's encroachment on Baiguoyuan, but also had to worry about how several shopping malls would respond to Xu Liangdi's lawsuit.

The industry of the shopping mall does not have its own real shares, and it is the same as Qiao Bei at the beginning, and only has the right to operate. If Xu Liangdi agrees, he will undoubtedly lose this big cake that once generated unlimited capital for himself. What's more, the people who invited themselves to join in the first place will completely give up on themselves as outcasts.

"You do it." Lu Wenlong felt a little decadent, which made Xu Jing a little surprised. In Xu Jing's impression, Lu Wenlong has always been confident.

"Mr. Lu, do you want to see a doctor?" Xu Jing looked at Lu Wenlong, her eyes full of concern.

Lu Wenlong shook his head, looked back at Xu Jing, and asked sincerely: "Xu Jing, if Baiguoyuan falls one day, will you choose to go to Xincheng?" ”

"Mr. Lu, why do you think of me like this?" Xu Jing was a little excited in her heart, and stood up and said to Lu Wenlong: "Back then, if you hadn't pulled me up, I would still be a small clerk at the front desk, no matter what happens, as long as you don't drive me away, I will always stand by your side." ”

"Huh...... During this time, I have wronged you. I originally wanted you to develop well in the new city, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by Qiao Bei. Later, you were asked to enter the Hundred Fruit Garden, and you went directly to Liu Weimin without saying a word. Now that we have won the Hundred Fruit Garden, the good days have not passed for half a year, and this Qiao Bei has come out again. Lu Wenlong shook his head and sighed: "He is my nemesis." ”

"Mr. Lu, now we account for half of the country, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of talent reserve and working capital. There is no need to worry about a small Qiao Bei at all, although he won a few stores in prime locations, it does not affect our advantage in the ancient city. Xu Jing calmly analyzed to keep Lu Wenlong in battle.

"Is that Zhu Mingming still waiting for you every day?" Lu Wenlong didn't answer Xu Jing's words, but asked Zhu Mingming.

"That little thug, how can I be eye-catching? Mr. Lu, there is no one here, and I am not afraid to say what is in my heart. In my heart, only a hero like you is my idol! Xu Jing's eyes were a little hot when she looked at Lu Wenlong.

Lu Wenlong smiled faintly: "What if I fail one day?" For example, the Hundred Fruit Orchard has fallen ......"

"What I like is you, not Baiguoyuan......" Xu Jing said as soon as she said a word, and suddenly felt that she had said too much, so she quickly stopped, and stared down at the constantly rotating teacup in her hand.

A slight smile flashed in the corner of Lu Wenlong's eyes, and then he changed the topic: "Xu Jing, you get off work, I want to be alone." ”

"Okay." Xu Jing shot a meaningful smile at Lu Wenlong: "Mr. Lu, then I'll go first." If you have something to say hello to, you can call me, and I will not turn off the phone twenty-four hours a day, waiting for your call. ”

Lu Wenlong nodded solemnly, looking at Xu Jing's distant back, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. I sat in the chair for a long time before I came to my senses. After flipping through the machine in his hand for a while, he dialed the phone: "Lao Zheng, what did you think about what I told you?" ”

"You've decided?" Mr. Zheng asked rhetorically.

"If you think it's too risky and want to let go of the shares, then I have no choice but to continue. If you're willing to continue to support me, then we'll keep it the same way, and I didn't make that phone call. Lu Wenlong smiled.

"Yes, you come to my room, I have the contract ready." Mr. Zheng still decided to shrink, and in half a year, he had earned the money he should have earned in Baiguoyuan.

……

After getting the shares in Mr. Zheng's hand, Lu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, looking at the constantly shuttling traffic and the bustling main street, Lu Wenlong changed his depressed atmosphere and was full of spirit.

Qiao Bei, now it's your turn.

……

The other end.

Qiao Bei was busy training Lu Yiyuan and some of the selected clerks. The plan was handed over, the Propaganda Department was very concerned, and after several revisions, it was finally finalized and it was determined that the first vegetable festival in the ancient city would be held three days before and after the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Various media in the ancient city have begun to blow the wind on the vegetable festival. The Propaganda Department issued various documents to the townships and towns with vegetable greenhouses, requiring greater publicity, providing various green channels, effectively serving vegetable farmers, and holding this vegetable festival.

Qiao Bei was not in the mood to care about the various actions of the Propaganda Department, he only cared about whether he could make a brilliant appearance in the vegetable festival and increase the influence of Xincheng fruits and vegetables. It is to set aside a few days to conduct intensive training for Lu Yiyuan and other clerks.

"Eat it!" Qiao Bei was furious, threw the cut watermelon to Lu Yiyuan, who was already unable to hold on, and scolded: "Yuanyuan, I want eight taels, you give me a pound and a half, twice as much!" ”

"Master Bei, I can't eat it." Lu Yiyuan touched his bulging belly with a painful expression.

"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it! Who made you so bad? Hurry up! Qiao Bei roared past Lu Yiyuan, and shouted at everyone: "Next, I want nine taels!" ”

"Yuanyuan, at your level, you still want to be promoted? Do you think this 100,000 forbidden army chief is so easy to be? Zhu Mingming walked up to Lu Yiyuan with a smile, shook his head and sighed, took the fruit knife handed over by Qiao Bei, glanced at the watermelon lightly, immediately shifted his gaze to Qiao Bei's face, and said with a smile: "Landlord Qiao, allocate some more funds for pickling girls, okay?" ”

"Cut it right, add another 10,000!" Qiao Bei held out a finger.

“OK！” Zhu Mingming looked at Qiao Bei with a smile, he didn't even look at the watermelon on the board, his hand rose and fell, and with a bang, a small piece of watermelon immediately swayed on the board a few times, and finally stopped. Zhu Mingming threw the knife on the board, clapped his hands and shouted, "I won't play with you, I have to hurry up to complete the task assigned to me by the organization." ”

"Brother Ming, you haven't weighed it yet." Lu Yiyuan looked unconvinced.

Zhu Mingming didn't reply: "One more gram, I'll help you eat five catties of watermelon!" ”

Qiao Bei kicked Zhu Mingming's ass heavily, and shouted angrily: "Why are you proud of your achievements, and why are you pretending to be forced in front of me, if Lao Tzu hadn't forced you at the beginning, would you have been able to practice a stunt?" Hurry up and soak Xu Jing, if you can't soak it, you won't be a girl in the future! ”

Zhu Mingming patted the footprints on his buttocks, and while speeding up and running away, he protested with a bitter face: "Landlord Qiao, I just bought it on Taobao, a high imitation of Armani, more than 300 yuan, you kicked it ......"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Yiyuan was puzzled, and took the watermelon that Zhu Mingming split down casually and put it on the electronic scale, which displayed the number: 450 grams.

Lu Yiyuan was dumbfounded.
