Fox Song

Chapter 28 Strong forces join forces
The fish on the tray was golden yellow all over, without any burnt spots. As it was fresh out of the oven, it seemed to still be emitting a hint of heat.

"The quality seems to be okay! However, apart from the beautiful color, this fish doesn't seem to be anything special." Zixuan said with a smile as she looked at the ordinary grilled fish in front of her.

However, at this moment, her stomach started to growl.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao Jing joked, "Then this fish must be delicious. It's hunger marketing."

The two laughed.

Then, each person picked up a fish.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Xiaojing took the first bite, her eyes lit up and she praised it.

Then, she stopped talking, used both hands, and started eating like a crazy eater, devouring the food.

Upon hearing this, Zixuan couldn't help but take a bite.

It can be said that this fish has already whetted their appetites. But whether it tastes good or not, they have to eat it themselves to know.

The fish meat is roasted for a short time at this point, but the temperature is just right, not enough to burn your tongue.

When the fish meat enters your mouth, a sour, refreshing and warm current instantly spreads from your tongue buds, making you feel refreshed and invigorated.

The Taihu dragon fish is extremely tender, and the original sweetness of the fish meat mixed with the slight numbing taste of the seasoning constantly stimulates the senses, which makes people unable to stop.

After chewing it for a few times, Zixuan closed her eyes and swallowed it gently. She felt a sweet aftertaste in the sour taste, which was truly amazing.

"Good!" Zixuan opened her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Sister, are you planning to be a gourmet?" Xiao Jing said while chewing the fish head. "You've only taken a bite, and I've already eaten the whole fish! Please eat quickly, and we'll order more after you finish!"

Zixuan watched her wolfing down the food without even eating the fish bones. She found it funny and asked, "Are you not eating lunch?"

"No, just eat fish." Xiaojing lowered her head and went back to work, saying without raising her head.

Zi Xuan was speechless and ignored her, slowly savoring the fish in front of her.

……

Ten minutes later, Xiaojing walked back to her seat with a frustrated look on her face and sat on the chair.

"Hey, there are still many people queuing up ahead."

Zi Xuan rolled her eyes at her and said with a smile, "Who told you to eat so fast?"

"How would I know there would be so many people..." Xiaojing said unhappily.

"In my opinion, you deserve it!" Zi Xuan said, "Uh... what are you going to do?"

Xiaojing actually took away the only fish left on her plate.

"Big sister, I know you're the best to me." Xiao Jing said with a playful smile, "You haven't finished yours yet, so give this one to me, a little kid!"

Xiaojing took a bite of the fish without saying a word.

"Hey you……"

When Zixuan saw this, she was at a loss for words and could only smile bitterly and pretend to be magnanimous and give it to her.

……

A few minutes later.

Xiaojing wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a napkin and said with some regret, "It's a pity that I still didn't eat enough. I have to come back next time. Sister, let's go!"

"Well, wait for me, I'll be back soon..." Zixuan said after thinking for a while.

"Where are you going?" Xiaojing asked curiously.

"Go find the manager of this store." Zixuan stood up and walked towards the store.

Looking for the store manager? Xiaojing showed a strange smile on her face.

Could it be that Zixuan also wants to eat grilled fish and plans to open the back door without queuing?

"Sister, wait for me..." Xiaojing followed Zixuan into the store.

"Excuse me, how can I help you?" the waitress asked with a smile.

It was the girl who brought them boiled water.

"I want to meet your store manager!" Zixuan said with a smile, "I want to talk to him about cooperation. Here is my business card."

After that, she handed over her golden business card. The business card was very beautiful, with both Chinese and English characters on it.

"Oh? Qianqiu Group..." The waitress took the business card with both hands and looked at it, quite surprised. Although she was not well educated, she was very smart and naturally understood that the woman in front of her was not ordinary.

She picked up the walkie-talkie on her waist and asked.

"The manager is in the store right now. She asked me to take you there!"

"Okay, thank you. Thank you!" Zixuan nodded.

The waitress greeted the waiter at the front desk and took Zixuan inside.

Zixuan was doubtful, as the view from this place was almost unobstructed, and it seemed that she didn't see the store manager.

Was he busy in the kitchen? Then she thought it was impossible.

Although the store is not big, Zixuan found that it seemed to be standardized from the beginning, and each aspect has its own strict work process. You know, the responsibility of the store manager is not to do the work of a chef.

However, she soon felt relieved.

The innermost table was some distance away from the open kitchen. The waitress walked over there and knocked on the nearby wall, and soon the wall opened - it turned out that there was a small door about 2 meters high.

The blue bricks on this door seem to be made of silicone, and they are so lifelike that if you don't look closely, you won't notice that there is another world behind the wall.

The room is not big, only about 10 square meters. There is a desk and a small sofa inside. On the desk is a computer and some written materials.
The waitress brought them in and then left.

The store manager was a middle-aged woman with a kind face. She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and looked very capable.

"Hello!" She stood up and greeted them, "Please sit anywhere!"

Zixuan and Xiaojing then sat down on the sofa.

"Miss Bai should have eaten our grilled fish. I wonder how it tasted?"

"It tastes pretty good!" Zi Xuan praised directly, "It has an excellent taste. This little fish actually has multiple taste experiences, which makes people linger on the aftertaste."

"It seems that Miss Bai is also a gourmet expert. If it is convenient, Miss Bai should come and support us more often!"

The female store manager smiled and said, "I'm not bragging, but our Taihu dragon fish, which is roasted with high-end Nanshan pine wood, is not only cooked to perfection, but also has a strong flavor without being too strong, crispy without being burnt, and the ingredients are all top-grade. It is said that there are 6636 variations, and not only are the flavors distinct, but they are also integrated..."

"Manager, rest assured, if it's convenient, we will come here often!"

……

After some greetings, Zixuan explained the purpose of her visit.

The store manager was not surprised at all and smiled, "Before this, many companies came to us and mentioned it to us, but we rejected it. The general manager also told me that we would reject all such investment cooperation in the future..."

When Zixuan heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

Seeing this, the store manager continued, "However, Qianqiu Group is financially strong and is also involved in the catering industry. It seems that there should be a lot of overlap between the two groups. It's a good idea to join forces. Moreover, Mr. Bai, you are here in person. So this time I will make the decision on my own and ask the higher-ups to see if the management has this intention?"

"Okay. Thank you for your help!" Zixuan replied.

The store manager did not avoid the question and immediately called to explain the situation. The manager was a little dissatisfied at first, but when he heard that the person who was interested in cooperation was Bai Zixuan, the chairman of Qianqiu Group, he softened his tone and asked her to wait for a moment and he would reply after reporting.

The microphone on the phone was quite loud, so Zixuan and Xiaojing could hear it clearly. After Xiaojing heard it, she was secretly surprised. It seemed that the background of this store was not as simple as she had imagined.

Three minutes later, the manager's voice came over the phone. The female store manager picked up the phone and was stunned. She then asked Zixuan, "Our company leader wants to see you now. Is it convenient for you, Miss Bai?"

Zi Xuan thought about it and replied with a smile, "I'd love to, of course no problem."

The store manager nodded, replied to Bai Zixuan's words, and then put down the phone -

"Come on, I'll take you there now!"
