Chapter 1563: Xu Shuang’s Thoughts
"I don’t know if I’ve helped you both this time."
Xu Shuang appeared at a very opportune moment, which surprised Xu Ke a bit.
"Thank you, General Manager Xu, without you, this matter would have been troubling us for a long time. But now the issue is resolved, and we already know what to do next."
Xu Ke’s meaning was very clear, that Xu Shuang helped them a lot this time.
Xu Shuang also realized that this was the best time to propose cooperation.
"Since that’s the case, I have an unsolicited request, I wonder if it’s convenient to bring it up."
Xu Ke had a fairly good impression of this senior, and since he helped them so much, there was no reason not to let him speak.
"Of course, feel free to say whatever you have."
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whatever Xu Shuang said, he had to seize it.
"Actually, I’ve wanted to work with your company for a long time, but never had the opportunity to meet. This time, I dare to propose the intention to cooperate with General Manager Xu, our company is a leader in the catering industry."
After hearing Xu Shuang’s words, Xu Ke found it very interesting.
After beating around the bush for so long, it turns out this guy wants to cooperate with Xu Group.
However, Xu Ke was not surprised, Xu Group is a top-notch brand nationwide.
There are many people racking their brains to work with them, but the threshold is very high.
He actually had a pretty good impression of this restaurant, not only is management excellent, but hygiene and everything else is very up to standard.
Xu Ke had a bit of a cleanliness obsession and was very particular about details. If these two points made him feel uncomfortable, then this cooperation would probably not proceed.
But very coincidentally, these two points at Zheng Shuang’s restaurant made Xu Ke very satisfied.
Plus, their coffee is very good, this was already Xu Ke’s second visit.
Though he hasn’t taken over Xu Group yet, with his current status, he can definitely take on this partnership.
"General Manager Xu, I already have a basic understanding of the situation here. Our group is very much hoping to have more partners like you. We are also very willing to engage in this cooperation with you and have high expectations for future development."
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Xu Shuang couldn’t believe it for a moment.
He didn’t expect something he had been yearning for would come true today.
Once he can cooperate with Xu Group, his status within the family will definitely increase significantly.
Those who targeted him in the past might want to avoid him in the future.
As long as he does well, perhaps he might even become the next successor of his family.
The more Xu Shuang thought about it, the more excited he became, he wished to sign the contract with Xu Ke right away.
"I am very willing to cooperate with someone like General Manager Xu. I also look forward to our future cooperation, and we will definitely provide your company with the best conditions."
The cooperation was settled just like that, with Xu Ke satisfied and Xu Shuang quite content.
Xu Group has a presence in various fields, especially in Beijing, needless to say.
However, according to Xu Ke’s financial investigation, they indeed haven’t made much headway in the catering sector.
Xu Shuang’s information was already checked beforehand, Xu Ke had some understanding of his background.
For development in the catering field, Xu Shuang is clearly the most suitable candidate.
Xu Group aims to be bigger and stronger, which means blossoming at more levels.
Old Master Xu handed the company to Xu Ke, hoping he could clear out the internal troublemakers. Additionally, he hoped Xu Ke could branch out more and eventually elevate Xu Group to the pinnacle of the world.
Old Master Xu hoped his grandson would fulfill what he could not complete in his lifetime.
"May I ask when we can sign the contract? I can’t wait to collaborate with your company now."
Indeed, Xu Ke would like to finalize various details now, but he cannot.
Firstly, there are still many issues within the company, and secondly, the current matters have not been resolved. The cooperation can only be postponed for now.
"Sorry, General Manager Xu, you’ve seen it, there’s a bit of a situation here. Only after resolving this can we talk about cooperation. You’ve helped us immensely this time, so I’m confident we’ll resolve it swiftly."
Xiao Keyi also stepped in to speak at this moment.
"Thank you, General Manager Xu. Regarding the cooperation, once this issue is resolved, we will send someone to negotiate with you. Rest assured, since we’ve promised you, we won’t back out."
Xiao Keyi’s words were quite clear, Xu Group values its reputation and wouldn’t default over a cooperation matter.
After receiving assurances, Xu Shuang’s anxious heart finally settled down.
As long as there’s their affirmation, cooperation is only a matter of time.
"Since that’s the case, I wish General Manager Xu can soon handle those troublesome affairs. It’s already mealtime now, I’d like to invite you both for a meal at our restaurant."
Xu Ke glanced at the time, it was already past five.
He glanced at Xiao Keyi, who also indicated her desire to eat.
After all, he suggested coming to this restaurant last time; the flavor here clearly suited his taste.
"Since General Manager Xu is so enthusiastic, we surely won’t disappoint you."
Thus, Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi decided to stay and have something to eat at the restaurant.
Especially considering future cooperation, Xu Ke also wanted to understand more about the restaurant’s workings.
Upon seeing Xu Ke agree, Xu Shuang immediately had the waiter prepare dinner.
In just 20 minutes, Xu Shuang had already prepared dinner.
In the private room Xu Shuang had prepared ahead of time, Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi started eating openly.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Shuang was quite surprised.
Xu Ke noticed Xu Shuang’s expression, so he quickly paused and explained.
"The food here is really delicious, and since we didn’t have lunch, please don’t mind." As he spoke, Xu Ke quietly resumed eating.
Xu Shuang wasn’t someone who made a fuss, seeing how cordial they were, his tension gradually disappeared.
He initially wondered if Xu Ke would be difficult to deal with, but now it seemed he was a regular person with flesh and blood, not as intimidating as imagined.
As time passed bit by bit, the gathering eventually ended pleasantly.
After bidding farewell to Xu Shuang, Xu Ke took Xiao Keyi back.
