As she spoke, Su Mingxian walked over in a fitted dress with striped accents and a cinched waist, her small heels clicking softly against the floor.
Her short hair danced lightly in the breeze, and her bright almond-shaped eyes sparkled with life. With a slight smile on her red lips, she greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I am Su Mingxian."
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
"Weren't we told the boss was a country woman? She doesn't look like one at all!"
"Exactly! The boss is stunning and so young! Is she even in her twenties? But I heard she has two kids already?"
"Yes, Fat Aunt, what's going on? How can such a young lady be in charge?"
"Right, right—"
Fat Aunt was equally surprised by Su Mingxian's transformation; she was taken aback at first but quickly regained her composure. "Alright, everyone, quiet down," she said.
Fat Aunt had a knack for maintaining order. Once the crowd settled, she announced loudly, "You don't need to doubt it; this is our Factory Director Su. Let's continue to listen to Factory Director Su speak."
Applause erupted as she led the way.
Standing before everyone with a constant smile, Su Mingxian raised her hand casually, and the crowd fell silent once more.
"Fat Aunt didn't deceive you; I really am that country woman, Su Mingxian. If someone like me can change and become who I am today, then all of you city folks can do the same. As long as you earn money, any woman can become better."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone burst into applause, excitement evident on their faces.
The majority of those brought in by Fat Aunt were laid-off female workers. What woman doesn’t want to become more beautiful?
If a woman from the countryside could achieve this, they naturally felt hopeful as well.
Su Mingxian didn’t mind her identity; she smiled and continued, “As you all know, I started by selling Liangpi. My business was so successful that I opened this Food Processing Plant. Today marks our first large-scale recruitment, and everyone standing here has been carefully selected by Fat Aunt. I trust her and I trust all of you.”
After a brief pause, she continued, “I’ll keep it short. Now I have three options for you: First, work as a frontline worker at the Food Processing Plant making Liangpi, with a salary of nine hundred yuan and overtime pay. Second, go out and sell Liangpi at stalls, also with a base salary of nine hundred yuan, plus commissions based on sales. Third, partner with me and join Su's Cold Noodles; I will send people to teach you. Of course, profits and losses will be your own responsibility.”
Once she finished speaking, everyone was left in a daze. What did it mean? What was this partnership about?
They had come looking for jobs, seeking to earn money—what did it mean to bear their own profits and losses?
Wasn’t that just starting their own business? Taking on risks?
While the crowd murmured among themselves, Xiu Cai was the first to speak up: “Sister Xian, I want to join.”
Su Mingxian looked at Xiu Cai in surprise, while Huangpu River immediately said in a low voice, “Second—”
But before he could finish, Su Mingxian cut him off. “Xiu Cai, have you thought this through?”
Xiu Cai hesitated slightly and asked, “Um, Sister Xian, is there a fee to join?”
"Of course, joining means unified management. The prices for goods here are standardized, and both the food truck and uniforms must be uniform," Su Mingxian continued. "You're the first one, so I'll waive your franchise fee. In the future, anyone who wants to join will have to pay a franchise fee of one thousand yuan, which includes the food truck and uniforms."
"What? Joining costs money?"
"Yeah, we haven't even made a profit yet, and we're already being asked to spend money. This can't be legit, right?"
"Ugh, I'm done, I'm done. I think this is just a scam."
