Wang Bingbing stood in the middle of the store, her eyes sweeping across the bustling lobby, her heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

The business of Wang's full range of restaurants is booming day by day. Now, they are planning to open a second branch, and she has been entrusted with the important task.

When Wang Bingbing received this task, she felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

She was excited because it was a great opportunity to demonstrate her abilities; yet she was nervous because she knew it was a heavy responsibility.

The new store is located on a busy street and the store is spacious and bright.

However, the preparations were not smooth sailing.

When looking for a decoration team, Wang Bingbing personally supervised the work.

Every day she would arrive at the construction site early and carefully check the progress of every link.

The construction team encountered unexpected difficulties during the construction process.

Due to the supplier's negligence, there were serious problems with material supply. The originally ordered materials were delayed in arriving and the project progress therefore came to a standstill.

During that period, Wang Bingbing was extremely anxious and couldn't sleep at night.

Every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she lay in bed, her mind filled with scenes of the unfinished renovation. The anxiety enveloped her like a thick dark cloud.

"Master, why haven't the materials arrived yet? If this continues, we won't be able to make it in time for the opening!"

Her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyebrows were almost twisted together, her eyes were full of anxiety, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, but she still tried to maintain proper politeness.

During this difficult time, Wang Bingbing had no intention of retreating or giving up.

She knew that complaining and waiting would not solve the problem, so she took the initiative and actively contacted suppliers.

In repeated phone calls and rounds of face-to-face negotiations, she argued her case with facts and reason, while also fully understanding the suppliers' difficulties and working together to find solutions.

Wang Bingbing realized that the problem could not be solved by telephone communication, so she decided to go to the supplier's factory in person.

After arriving at the factory, she found the person in charge and seriously pointed out the seriousness of the problem to him face to face: "We have signed a contract. If we cannot open on time due to material delays, the loss will not be small. I understand that there may be difficulties, but we have to work together to find a solution."

The supplier looked embarrassed and said, "Ms. Wang, I'm really sorry, the machine in the factory has broken down recently and there is a shortage of workers. We are really too busy to handle it."

Wang Bingbing responded: "I know it's not easy for everyone, but I can't wait any longer. How about this, you first allocate some inventory materials from other places to me for emergency use, and then arrange for workers to work overtime as soon as possible to catch up with the progress."

The supplier hesitated and said, "Allocation of inventory may affect other orders."

Wang Bingbing said firmly: "Then we have to weigh the pros and cons. If this cooperation is successfully completed, we will have more opportunities for long-term cooperation in the future. If we mess up this time, it will not benefit either of us."

The supplier was touched by her firm attitude and finally made up his mind: "Okay, Ms. Wang, I'll do as you say. I will definitely find a way to solve it."

After many negotiations, Wang Bingbing proposed some temporary solutions, such as allocating other inventory materials for emergency response and speeding up production progress.

Suppliers also actively cooperated, adjusted production plans, and ultimately ensured the continuous supply of materials.

After countless communications and coordination, the problem was finally solved.

When the first batch of materials arrived at the construction site smoothly, Wang Bingbing's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the huge stone that had been pressing on her chest had finally fallen to the ground.

An unprecedented sense of relaxation and accomplishment blew through her heart like a spring breeze. A relieved smile bloomed on her face and her eyes sparkled with joy.

When choosing tables and chairs, she put in a lot of effort, comparing prices from different stores and never making a decision lightly.

In a large furniture store, her eyes were attracted by a pair of tables and chairs with unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship.

She slowly approached, squatted down, gently stroked the table with her hand, and carefully observed every detail.

The direction of the wood grain, the gaps between the joints, and the polishing of the corners cannot escape her keen eyes.

"Boss, the styles of these tables and chairs are nice, but can you give me a better price?" She smiled, her voice gentle but firm.

The boss came over with a troubled look on his face, and said, "Girl, this is already a very reasonable price. The materials of these tables and chairs are of high quality, and the workmanship is also fine. It really can't be any cheaper."

Wang Bingbing did not give up and continued, "Boss, I really like this table and chairs, and I plan to buy a few more sets. Please give me a discount because of my sincerity. I will introduce my friends to buy from you in the future."

The boss hesitated for a moment and responded, "Girl, since you are so sincere, I can only give you a 10% discount at most. No more."

Wang Bingbing frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Boss, your discount is still a little small. My new store has just opened and funds are tight. Please give me a little more discount. We can all understand each other."

The boss shook his head helplessly and said, "Girl, my small business won't make much money if I give too much discount. How about this, I'll give you another 50% discount, this is the limit I can do."

Wang Bingbing pursed her lips, looked at the boss firmly, and said: "Boss, although the style of these tables and chairs is good, the color is a little bit inconsistent with the decoration style of my store.

If you can give me a little more discount on the price, I won’t bother with the color and can just make the decision. And if my business is good in the future, I will definitely come to you to buy more furniture.”

The boss pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, girl, since you are so determined, I will give you another 15% discount, no less."

Wang Bingbing immediately smiled with satisfaction and said, "Boss, thank you so much! Then you have to ensure the quality of the tables and chairs, and deliver them to my store on time."

The boss patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, girl, the quality will definitely be no problem, and the delivery will be on time."

Wang Bingbing nodded and happily signed the purchase contract with the boss.

Recruiting employees is even more critical.

Faced with so many applicants, Wang Bingbing and Qin Huairu strictly screened them together.

Recruiting waiters became a key part of the preparation for the new store. Qin Huairu knew the importance of this work and came to the recruitment site early to prepare for strict screening.

The scene was crowded with people, and applicants lined up in a long line, all full of expectations. Qin Huairu sat at the table with a serious and focused expression.

"Your resume looks okay, but can you tell me how you think can provide quality service?" Qin Huairu stared at the applicant in front of her with sharp eyes, not missing any subtle expression or answer.

The applicant gathered his thoughts nervously and began to talk about his ideas. Qin Huairu nodded slightly while listening, and occasionally wrote something on the paper with a pen.

"Your resume looks good, but can you tell me about your understanding of the service industry?" Her eyes were sharp and she didn't miss any details.

……

The formulation of the menu is not an easy task, and Wang Bingbing put a lot of thought into it. In order to reasonably adjust the dishes and prices to meet market demand and be competitive, Wang Bingbing conducted in-depth and comprehensive market research.

She travels through the streets and alleys every day, visiting nearby shops tirelessly. Every time she goes to a restaurant, she carefully observes the menu's menu combinations, special dishes, and prices.

She would stand quietly by the side during peak dining hours in the restaurant, observing the customers' tendencies and reactions when ordering.

"Big sister, what do you think of the food in this restaurant? Are they expensive?"

Wang Bingbing was smiling as she chatted cordially with an older sister who had just finished her meal.

The elder sister put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth, and answered seriously:

"This dish tastes pretty good, but the price is a little high. It would be better if it could be cheaper."

Wang Bingbing nodded quickly and carefully wrote down her elder sister's opinions in the small notebook she carried with her.

She walked into another restaurant and saw a young couple discussing the menu. Wang Bingbing approached them and asked softly:
"Can you two tell me what you think of the food and prices at this restaurant?"

The boy glanced at her and said, "The dishes are quite unique, but the prices are not very affordable. We hesitated for a long time before coming in."

Wang Bingbing expressed her gratitude with a smile and continued to listen carefully to their ideas.

In this way, Wang Bingbing visited one store after another, asked one customer after another, and constantly accumulated various opinions and suggestions.

Her little notebook was filled with words, which were valuable references for her to formulate menus for all new Wang's restaurants.

……

On the eve of the opening, Wang Bingbing stayed up all night, constantly rehearsing in her mind various situations that might arise on the opening day.

Finally, the long-awaited opening day of the new store arrived as scheduled.

On the opening day, the sun was as bright as people’s expectations. There was not a single cloud in the clear sky, and golden light generously sprinkled on the earth.

The store entrance was bustling with activity, filled with colorful flower baskets. Red ribbons fluttered happily in the breeze, as if they were performing a festive dance.

The sound of firecrackers was deafening, and the strings of red firecracker debris flew everywhere, as if cheering for the birth of the new store.

Guests came in droves, like a tide. Some wore fashionable bell-bottom pants, with the trouser legs swaying with their steps, showing their personality and fashion; some wore simple shirts, clean and neat, showing stability and competence.

The ladies were dressed up carefully, wearing beautiful hairpins on their heads, which sparkled charmingly in the sun, like bright stars dotted in the night sky; the men wore neat ties, looking solemn and confident.

Wang Bingbing was busy in the store, like a tireless spinning top.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the crystal sweat beads looked like bright pearls under the sunlight.

But her eyes were always firm and focused, shining like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"Hello, welcome, please sit here." She greeted every guest with a smile, her face full of enthusiasm. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm.

Her voice is clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, which makes people feel happy.

Every action is full of affinity and every look conveys sincerity, making every customer who steps into the store feel the warmth of home.

"This dish will be here soon, please wait a moment." She arranged the service in an orderly manner, her steps were hurried but steady.

As time went by, the new store gradually got on track and business became more and more prosperous.

On this day, Wang Bingbing came to the old store.

She walked into the store and saw Wang Jianye busy at work.

"Dad." She called softly.

Wang Jianye looked up and saw that it was her. A pleased smile appeared on his face and his eyes were full of approval.

Wang Bingbing walked up to Wang Jianye and said, "Dad, the new store has stabilized and business is very good."

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, but more of joy and pride.

Wang Jianye patted her shoulder and said, "My daughter, you did a good job. You have worked hard."

Wang Bingbing smiled and said, "Dad, this is what I should do. At the beginning, I really encountered many difficulties. For example, when we were decorating, there were some problems with the construction team, which almost delayed the construction period. And when we were recruiting employees, some people looked good, but they were not satisfactory when they actually worked on the job."

She frowned, thinking back to those difficult moments.

"But I overcame them all. I kept adjusting and improving. I believe that as long as I work hard, there is no problem that cannot be solved." Her eyes became firm.

Wang Jianye nodded, "Girl, I know you have the ability."

Wang Bingbing continued, "Dad, I also adjusted some dishes and prices based on the location of the new store and the surrounding customer base. I visited many surrounding stores to understand their business conditions and customer needs. I found that we can introduce some home-cooked dishes that are more suitable for the public's taste and the prices should be more affordable."

Other employees in the store said, "Sister Bingbing is really amazing. She helped us build the new store. We are all willing to follow her."

Wang Jianye's eyes were full of admiration, "Bingbing, you have grown up and can stand on your own."

Wang Bingbing smiled and said, "Dad, you taught me well. I hope that Wang's full-line restaurant can open more branches in the future and become our signature restaurant. I also want to introduce some new management concepts to improve service quality and give customers a better dining experience."

Wang Jianye laughed loudly, "My girl, keep working hard. The future of all our Wang's hotels depends on you young people."

Wang Bingbing nodded seriously, "Dad, I will definitely not let you down."

At this time, the restaurant was full of customers. A table of guests were tasting the dishes and praising them highly. "The dishes at this Wang's All-inclusive Restaurant are authentic, delicious, and affordable."

"Yes, we should come more often in the future."

Wang Bingbing looked at all these familiar things, her heart full of anticipation for the future.

"Dad, I believe that all of our Wang's restaurants will get better and better." Her voice was firm and powerful.

Wang Jianye smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes, I will."

The sunlight shines through the window onto the father and daughter, illuminating their hopeful faces. (End of this chapter)
