Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 677: Chapter 677: The Cafeteria Owner’s Secret Delight

As Xia Xiaomin was just about to have dinner in the underground cafeteria, she hurriedly left upon receiving a call from Zero, while Xu Pengfei and the others looked on seriously.

"It’s a call from Zero, that distinctive number can’t be wrong."

Upon hearing Li Wanning’s words, everyone frowned.

At a time like this, Zero calling, and Xia Xiaomin leaving in a hurry, something must have happened.

Only Xu Pengfei responded first, saying, "It shouldn’t be a big deal, otherwise I would have been notified as well."

"Let’s eat first."

Even as Xia Xiaomin jogged from the cafeteria, she was full of doubt, not knowing why the boss was looking for her at this time. Logically, at this time, the boss should have picked up Candy and gone home.

Soon, Xia Xiaomin saw from afar that the boss seemed to be coaxing Candy.

Goodness, on the first day of school, could someone have already annoyed this little ancestor?

"Boss, did you call for me?"

Mo Jingchun wiped Candy’s tears from his hands and said flatly, "Candy just told me that the school cafeteria’s food tastes a bit off. Starting from tomorrow noon, I want Candy to have the same meal quality as we have at Candy Kindergarten, can you manage that?"

Seeing that Xia Xiaomin still had a hint of hesitation, Mo Jingchun added, "Money is no issue, just consider it a subsidy to the school."

"Boss, I promise everything will be in place by tomorrow, and Chengnan Primary School will eat delicious and suitable meals."

Mo Jingchun nodded at you, glancing at the sniffling Candy.

"You’ve heard it all, you can go home now."

"You’ve tied your red scarf, and you cry every day, aren’t you ashamed?"

Hearing this, Candy pouted, "I’m not crying every day."

-----------------

Watching Xia Xiaomin return with a furrowed brow, Xu Pengfei asked as a representative, "What happened?"

While having dinner, Xia Xiaomin said, "It’s nothing major, the boss plans to change Chengnan Primary School’s cafeteria."

Xia Xiaomin paused, then continued, "By tomorrow noon."

"For our company’s chefs, I’ll need to assign a few to go over. We also need vegetables and fruits."

Knowing it was nothing major, Xu Pengfei smiled slightly and said, "It seems the school’s food is really not great, otherwise the boss wouldn’t have given such a direct order."

"It was Candy who said it and cried."

In an instant, everyone suddenly understood.

After casually taking a few bites, Xia Xiaomin made her farewells and left first.

Changing a cafeteria like this is technically not difficult for Candy Technology; the challenge lies in having delicious meals ready for students by tomorrow noon.

It’s apparent that the boss doesn’t mean just providing boxed meals.

Getting into work mode, Xia Xiaomin first found the head of the company’s cafeteria, assigning him to arrange chefs and assisting aunties. She then returned to the office to contact the education bureau using the company’s landline.

In just half an hour, Xia Xiaomin appeared at Chengnan Primary School.

The principal and several other school leaders exchanged glances, earlier at noon it was just rumors, but less than an hour after school, Candy Technology’s Secretary Xia had personally arrived, and the principal had even received a call from above to fully cooperate with Secretary Xia’s work.

"Hello, Principal."

After a simple handshake and greetings, Xia Xiaomin got straight to the point.

"Principal Wang, do you know who is the cafeteria contractor for the school?"

"I’ve notified him by phone, he should be here soon."

Xia Xiaomin raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Since that’s the case, is it convenient for you, Principal Wang, to take me to tour your school’s cafeteria?"

"Sure."

Chengnan Primary School’s cafeteria is a two-story large building. The first floor is the students’ dining area, and the second floor is the school’s great hall, which is basically unused.

The kitchen was brightly lit; aside from the floor being quite damp, Xia Xiaomin really couldn’t find any faults.

The principal beside her awkwardly said, "Although the food in our school cafeteria doesn’t taste great, it is definitely clean and hygienic. Every dish is sampled and preserved as required."

Xia Xiaomin smiled and asked, "Does Principal Wang also often dine at the school cafeteria?"

This...

Looking at Principal Wang’s awkward smile, Xia Xiaomin did not continue to press the matter.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly ran over, drenched in sweat. Without needing introduction from the school leaders, Xia Xiaomin knew that this man was the contractor of Chengnan Primary School cafeteria.

Li Zonghua, looking at the expressionless Xia Xiaomin, felt even more uneasy inside.

The speed of Candy Technology’s actions was too fast, or perhaps he underestimated the concern Candy Technology’s founder Mo Jingchun had for his sister.

This seemed like an overnight pace to switch the cafeteria.

Inside the principal’s office, Xia Xiaomin said, "Mr. Li, you know why we’re here. I’ve reviewed the contract you signed with the school. Candy Technology is willing to pay double the compensation, and as for the existing chefs and aunties, those who wish to stay can join Candy Technology. However, similarly, if they fail the evaluations over three months, we will also dismiss the staff."

This wasn’t negotiating, it was clearly notifying.

But with the double compensation, it’s not a loss. Li Zonghua silently calculated in his mind; the extra compensation roughly equated to the amount the contract would have earned until it expired.

Is this a coincidence? Li Zonghua wouldn’t believe it, this was clearly prepared.

As long as he nodded lightly now, it would mean that even the pots and pans in the cafeteria would have nothing to do with him.

Taking a deep breath, inside, Li Zonghua felt a little gleeful instead.

"I agree."

Xia Xiaomin nodded and signaled the legal and finance team that came along to start their work.

At midnight, the principal stood at the cafeteria’s entrance, watching the comings and goings, as all the original dishes and cutlery in the cafeteria were discarded as garbage at Xia Xiaomin’s command.

Various devices he had never seen before were moved into the kitchen through the collective effort.

Looking at the stainless steel dining tables of the cafeteria, Xia Xiaomin furrowed her brows slightly. At the side, Principal Wang said, "These tables are quite good, the school has been using them for nearly four years."

Xia Xiaomin didn’t speak immediately but reached out to touch the edge of the stainless steel table.

The next second, Xia Xiaomin said directly, "There have been incidents of students getting cut by the tables, right?"

Principal Wang was silent for a while and then said bitterly, "To tell you the truth, yes, there have been."

"Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious. Later, I asked the class teachers and students to be careful of safety."

In front of the principal, Xia Xiaomin took out her phone without a word.

"Order a batch of student dining tables."

After finishing her words, Xia Xiaomin hung up the phone.

Principal Wang was very curious, thinking to himself: Why does everyone just agree to whatever Xia Xiaomin says?
