Chapter 67 The Lazy Mi People (Continue to Push, Collect, Reward~Mo Mo Da~)
Miranda is an authentic American in her thirties, with a pair of lovely children, a blond shawl hair, a small face, big eyes, and a little dress often gives people a stunning feeling. Her personality is also very cheerful and talkative, and the female companies in the store also like to chat around her when they are not busy.
It is said that Miranda's father was a farmer, and she also had a lot of experience as a bartender, having worked in many restaurants and bars, so many of the customers around her knew her. When she first took over as manager in Taiwan, she worked quite seriously for a long time, and although it can't be said that it brought more business, at least the atmosphere of the restaurant is still very good.
As Miranda became more and more proficient in business, Li Manrui found that the woman was slowly becoming a little loose, and sometimes she was scheduled to start work at four o'clock in the afternoon, but she was still nowhere to be seen until half past four. Send her a message and she'll find a bunch of reasons to explain why she's late.
On this day, Li Manrui told Lin Zitan in advance that she was going to Brooklyn to run errands, and by the way, she would have dinner with him. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Miranda had not yet appeared, so Li Manrui called her, the phone kept ringing, but no one answered, she sent several messages, and no one replied.
In the end, Li Manrui had to cancel the meeting with Lin Zitan, and quickly sent a manpower demand to the intermediary. It's a pity that it's really hard to find a good experienced Chinese female manager, and Li Manrui has to take care of the store and her daughter Annie, who is less than a year old, so she has to compromise and find an honest cashier to come in, so that when she occasionally goes out, at least someone can temporarily take care of the business in the store.
The reason why many restaurants are reluctant to hire foreigners, in addition to salary, insurance and tax returns, the most important thing is that most foreigners are very casual, they can do it for a week or two or even a month or two when they are short of money, and once the cash in their hands is a little more abundant, they begin to think about going on vacation or something, and they can't bear hardships like Chinese employees at all.
When the restaurant first opened, Li Manrui invited a local girl to work part-time as the front desk, and the work was very leisurely, that is, in the afternoons of the days from Thursday to Sunday, she helped bring seats to the guests, took the menu, and helped other companies collect the tables at most after the guests sat down.
The girl cried to the bartender during Thanksgiving, saying that their family couldn't even eat turkey on Thanksgiving, and cried while talking, which made Li Manrui sad for a while, and later inquired and found out that it was because their family was too poor, and the food was donated by others!
In order to make this girl make more money, Li Manrui transferred all the working hours originally arranged for other people to her, so that she could spend a few more hours, who knew that the girl would tell Li Manrui that her legs hurt and she couldn't stand for too long, and finally Li Manrui had to roll her eyes and withdraw her sympathy!
Li Manrui only met Miranda who came to receive her salary when she was paid three days later, I don't know if it was because Li Manrui sent a message that was too heavy, Miranda still talked to her with a smile, but she just didn't explain the reason why she didn't come to work, and when she left, she probably saw Li Manrui recruiting a new person, and she was embarrassed to ask if she could still come to work.
"Hi Marry, you look a little bad for the past two days, what's wrong?, the restaurant is not doing well?" asked Mike with concern as he happily teased the little girl who had just finished drinking milk.
"Eva hasn't been able to find a suitable front desk manager since she left, and I'm a little upset~" Li Manrui ate the poached eggs fried by herself, and said softly with an irritable expression.
"What about that Miranda before, wasn't she doing well?" Mike had met Miranda a few times in the restaurant, and thought that the woman had a good personality.
"Alas... I don't know if it's a matter of cultural differences, but I always feel insecure about doing things with them. Li Manrui rarely talked to Mike about cultural differences, and she rushed here to speak, and she glanced at Mike uncomfortably after she finished speaking, after all, Mike himself is also a native of the United States.
Lao Mei prefers freedom in doing things, and don't arrange too much work for them, otherwise they will feel pressured, especially after they feel that their salary is enough, it is difficult to have continuous patience. ”
After Mike finished speaking, he got up and put his daughter on the high chair she used to eat, walked over to Li Manrui, and gently hugged her from behind.
"I'm sure you can do it, don't get too tired, huh?"
"Thank you Mike, I see. By the way, what do you think about your daughter's first birthday?" Li Manrui hugged Mike around his arm, held his big strong hand in his palm, and looked up gently.
"I want to throw her a birthday party, the whole hall is filled with pink balloons and streamers, and our daughter must grow up happy and happy like a princess!" Mike said proudly, bowing his head, rubbing a kiss on the side of Li Manrui's ear, and lightly imprinting a kiss.
"Birthday party?great, Anne will love it, but are you sure you want to do it at home?" Li Manrui was worried that she was too busy with work to set up and prepare.
"How about a restaurant in a restaurant, everyone who comes to dinner on the night of the birthday party will be discounted, and I'll make up for the lost money, so that they can all come and wish our baby daughter a happy birthday!" Mike said on a whim.
"Well~ It's a good idea, so that I can take the opportunity to make a wave of publicity for the restaurant, then I will put an advertisement in the local business newspaper, and all seats will only be reserved that night, so that it will not be particularly chaotic!
"I knew you would like it, I would let people go to the restaurant to decorate it that day, and surprise you when the time comes!" said Mike kissed Li Manrui's forehead again, got up and kissed his daughter's face several times, and then reluctantly went out to work.
Li Manrui watched Mike walk through the living room and towards the door, her tall figure gave her the feeling of standing up to the sky, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but stare at a little starlight. She blinked, knowing very well in her heart that there was no eternal support in this world, but even a little support for a short time was enough for her.
"Hi Princess Anne, let's go to the room to play, let Mommy go to work~" was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard the new nanny, who came over in a doting tone, and gently picked up his daughter and walked to the toy room.
The new nanny is a Filipino maid, in her forties, very loving and patient with children, in addition to cooking, which is not too suitable for Li Manrui's taste, other things are also done very neatly, the key is that her daughter likes her very much, so Li Manrui left her behind, and now even if she is not at home for a day, she doesn't have to worry about her daughter's problems.
。。。。。。
Joseph came to Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing's office, which is a commercial building near the Flushing University site, their office is located in a small unit on the second floor, except for Zhang Jing and Lin Zitan, who each have a separate small office, and several other employees are sitting in the hall, except for an accountant and an actuary who does not appear often, the other few people are purchasing and clerks.
When Joseph knocked on the door and came in, a little Chinese girl who was busy checking something opened the door for him, and when he saw Joseph wearing shabby clothes, he thought that a farmer had come to talk about business!
"Hi Joseph, you're here, let's sit down first!Xiaomei, let's make Joseph a cup of coffee!" Lin Zitan has just arrived at the office, and he has been communicating with employees mostly online, and he doesn't have much time to come to the office, so he is busy reading some recent reports.
