Chapter 79 - BFC (1/2)

It took Brother Hui roughly an hour and a half to drive to Tonsheng company. The only reason that it took so long is because Tonsheng company is in the city centre, so there wasn't only extra traffic but many people walking around. There were many times he had to stop only after a few meters repeatedly. But finally they arrived, Wang Ming hoped this trip would be worth it as he hoped to get people hired already today.

”Goodbye Brother Hui, I'll call you if I need you.”

Exiting the taxi, Wang Ming saw a big glass building which had the logo Tonsheng company in the front. Walking inside, the receptionist instantly greeted Wang Ming with a warm smile. It seemed like these people are professional, as Wang Ming still hadn't showered or changed his clothes from yesterday. He didn't stink, but his white shirt still had the lipstick stain from Lang Lin's kiss on his cheek, and his face looked unkempt.

”Hello, Sir. What do you need today?”

”Just call me Wang Ming. I would like to hire someone for my restaurant, someone who can serve food, but also do other things in the restaurant, like cleaning, taking care off the restaurant and plating food. But the most important factor is I need someone I can trust.”

”I've noted everything your requirements just sit down, while I'll go through the files. Do you have any gender preference?”

”No, I don't care.”

”Noted.”

Wang Ming then sat down on a chair to wait while the receptionist went through the files. He hoped he would find someone here, or else this would trip would be a waste of time. Not only this, but he would still need to work alone tomorrow, which would suck even more.

Not having anything to do, Wang Ming just looked out the window to people watch. He saw streams of people going in and out of the supermarket next door. How much money would he need to buy a spot in the supermarket next door? It had to be at least a few million yuan for such a location, maybe even more.

Wang Ming was thinking about how to expand his business further. He couldn't do it now but eventually he would have multiple restaurants in every city in China he felt sure about that.

”Mister Wang, I have a few that fit your criteria do you want to look?”

”Yes, please.”

The receptionist then gave him a few papers which she had just printed out. There were only two candidates, one man and one woman. They both had the same basic server qualifications, the only differing them was how much experience as the woman had 25 year's experience while the man only had 2 years of experience.

”Are there only these 2?”

Wang Ming only needed two servers, but he wanted to have more people to pick from.

”Yes, for your criteria, it's only these two, we do extensive testing on each of our members. So we can map out their strengths and weaknesses to the bes of our ability. These two people I think would fit your restaurant, as the woman Gao Xingjuan is not only very experienced all her former boss's praise of her skill and upright attitude, the only reason she's looking for work now is because her last boss was a sleazy bastard. Who tried to take advantage of her.”

”As for the young man he's called Qian Guo, he doesn't have as much experience, he's worked for most of his life but only started working for a restaurant to years ago. He has had over 15 restaurant jobs in the last 2 years, most jobs not even lasting 2 weeks. The reason for this and why I recommend him to you is because of his righteousness, if he sees something is wrong he's going to let you know. He's just incapable of doing anything he thinks is morally wrong.”

Wang Ming felt intrigued about the Qian Guo, he felt like he's a man that Wang Ming could get along with.

”Can I get an interview with them, even though they both sound qualified, I still need to meet them face to face to see if everything is right.”

”That I can arrange, but I think their on a lunch break now could you please come back in half an hour, I think they should be back by then.”

Since he still had half an hour Wang Ming wanted to find something to eat, so he walked towards the supermarket. The outside of the supermarket was so crowded that had to press himself through people to even get in. But the inside of the supermarket differed totally from the outside. The supermarket's entry was huge, so he didn't need to push past people to get in anymore.

Though since this was his first time coming to the supermarket, Wang Ming didn't know what to eat, so he just tried to find somewhere he recognize to eat from, finally after roaming around for 5 minutes, Wang Ming found BFC [1], he had never eaten there but had heard a lot about them the last week on the radio. Even though they are a western company they sell fried chicken with a Chinese twist to get as many customers as they can.

They fry the chicken in peanut oil with standard batter and chicken, but what's special with this shop is what they serve with the fried chicken. But what's interesting is that they sell it with a soup like sauce, it's good to use as a dip but you can also drink up the sauce after, usually dips have a too strong taste for that but not this one.
