Chapter 7 Going to the hotel to work part-time
"Auntie, please wait a minute, I see the phone on the table, I'll go and write down the number, it's easy to contact my dad." "Ask Lan to finish and leave.
"Dad, you can buy some food on the side at noon, and I will go to the supermarket to buy some rice and send it over in the afternoon, you can't leave here, don't go out to buy it." "In fact, Wen Lan is mainly worried about her father, and copying the phone number is secondary.
"Good. Shi Wan agreed.
After settling down with my father, I asked Lan to go to the Wang Lin Hotel with Aunt Zhang with confidence.
"The Wanglin Hotel is a bit far from your accommodation, in a food city in Nanxinshi. Aunt Zhang said while driving, "It takes at least 20 minutes to walk, but it's easy to walk, walk all the way down the street in front of the food city, go through 2 traffic lights and turn right to the end." ”
Wen Lan said: "Auntie, it's only 20 minutes away, and it's flat land, it's not far at all, it's very common for us to walk for an hour on the mountain road, and my dad can still carry the burden up and down the mountain." ”
"I can't imagine it, I saw on TV carrying a burden and thought it was fake, your mountain people's body is strong, don't look at your father compared to his peers in the city, but look at his body bones, very strong, his body is definitely much better than his peers in the city. Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
"That's for sure, if you work hard, let alone your peers, the young people in the city may not be as good as my dad. Wen Lan said proudly.
"The mountain people also have the strengths of the mountain people, they have a good physique, and they are honest, look at your father, he doesn't talk much, but look at his appearance, you know that he is an honest person. ”
"Auntie, you can still look at the face. ”
"I've been interacting for a long time, I've seen a lot of people, and I'm slowly getting the ability to judge, haha. Aunt Zhang smiled a little proudly.
While talking, they arrived at the Wang Lin Hotel. After getting out of the car, Aunt Zhang shouted loudly: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, I have recruited the person you need." ”
Mr. Wang walked out of the store, still wearing work clothes, and said, "Aunt Zhang personally sent it here today, thank you." ”
"Mr. Wang, how do you work yourself?" said Aunt Zhang.
"Alas, don't mention it, two-thirds of the way has gone, I'm busy, I'm the whole family. Can you introduce me to some more people?"
"I want to be beautiful, where can I find it for this New Year. Aunt Zhang then introduced Wenlan to Mr. Wang: "This is Zhao Wenlan, I just arrived in Nanxin City yesterday and had a relationship with your hotel, and as soon as I arrived here, I was bumped into by you." ”
"Okay, good, the little girl is very beautiful, I took it and started working today. Mr. Wang said happily. Then he introduced the work process of the day to Wenlan, arrived at the hotel at 9:30 every day, familiarized himself with the ordering situation of the day, especially at noon, helped to do some odd jobs, had lunch at 10:30 at noon, and then almost started to work, the most important job is to serve the plates. The hotel has a total of 26 private rooms and a hall with 18 tables, and the guests will clean the boxes or tables they are responsible for when they disperse. Leave work around 2 p.m. I went to work at 3:30 p.m., ate at 4 p.m., and left work at 9:30 p.m.
Wen Lan nodded.
Mr. Wang said: "This is the general situation, of course, sometimes guests drink late, the end of work may be delayed, after 9:30 p.m. for every half hour of delay plus 5 yuan subsidy." ”
Wen Lan said: "Understood, thank you Mr. Wang!"
"Okay, then you go and get familiar with the environment first. Little Sun, what's your --, called?"
Zhao Wenlan. Aunt Zhang said to Mr. Wang.
"Yes, ask Lan. Xiao Sun, you take Wen Lan to familiarize yourself with the environment, and tell Wen Lan about the specific requirements. Mr. Wang introduced Wenlan to Xiao Sun.
Wenlan said hello to Aunt Zhang and Mr. Wang: "Auntie, then I'll be busy first, thank you." Mr. Wang, I'll go first. ”
"This girl is very polite, you don't want it here in the future, give it back to me, I want it." Aunt Zhang couldn't help but praise Wen Lan again.
"I just sent one and I wanted to poach it, no way!" Mr. Wang said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'm leaving. Oh, by the way, I'll settle the salary with you when the time comes. Aunt Zhang turned around and left.
"Okay. Mr. Wang walked back to the door of the hotel, and then walked back, stopped Aunt Zhang, and said, "I will give you the intermediary fee now, including Wenlan's, and save the time to settle your salary with you." ”
Aunt Zhang understood Mr. Wang's intentions, and was afraid that if the employees could not be recruited at that time, she could stay and ask Lan. "Are you really afraid that I will poach you?"
Mr. Wang took out 300 yuan to Aunt Zhang and said, "Go ahead, I'm too busy to keep you." ”
Xiao Sun is the manager of the hotel, she took Wenlan around the hotel, and gave a detailed introduction and demonstration of some essentials to Wenlan.
"Thank you, manager, I haven't done hotel work, I haven't even seen such a big hotel, I can't remember so much for a while, learn as you go, please criticize in time if there is something inappropriate. Wen Lan said modestly.
"Don't call me the store manager, just call me Xiaosun, anyway, you won't stay in the hotel for long, you will go back after the Spring Festival, it doesn't matter if you learn or not, you summer work, just bear with it, don't make the guests unhappy." Xiao Sun said.
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's enough for you to do this, and you can do the rest yourself, anyway, it's just a month, and it's going to pass quickly. Xiao Sun said with a smile.
"I still want to put down roots here, do you want me, store manager?" said with a smile. When the original employee comes back, I will have to leave and find another job, but fortunately, I will find a way to find a job, and I will not have to worry about running out of food in the future. I don't want to think about it so much yet, let's do a good job this month.
"Don't be funny, a beautiful college student like you wants to stay in the hotel as a person, you're making me happy, right?" Xiao Sun also said with a smile.
"I'm not a college student, I'm a foreigner who has just arrived in Nanxin City, and I want to find a job here. Wenlan said sincerely.
Xiao Sun opened his eyes wide and looked at Lan again, and said, "Really, seeing that you are so beautiful and have such a good temperament, how can you be the same as me." Alas, we are all miserable people. ”
"In the future, I ask the store manager to take care of me, even if it's only for a month, I'll do it well. ”
"Ask Lan, we are all subordinates, it's just that I've been here for a longer time and the situation is more familiar, so don't call me the store manager, call me Xiaosun." ”
"That-well, little grandson, I'm new to the city and don't understand anything, so please give me more advice. ”
"You're polite to ask Lan, it's okay, don't be nervous, take your time. ”
Wen Lan nodded.
When the lunch time came, the guests came to the hotel one after another, Xiao Sun arranged Wen Lan in the hall, a total of 8 tables in the hall, Xiao Sun did not assign a specific table to Wen Lan, her main task at noon was to study. One noon, my companion Xiao Luo shouted that he was tired, Xiao Luo just came a few days ago, a college student, and came out to work during the winter vacation. But Wen Lan didn't feel tired at all. After cleaning up the hall, it was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiao Sun said that everyone could get off work.
Wen Lan went to the supermarket to buy 30 catties of rice and some vegetables to send to her father, Shi Wan said that he bought a bottle of bean curd in the small shop on the side, telling Wen Lan not to buy vegetables in the future. Wenlan and her father hurriedly said a few words and left, because she still had to go back to her residence to write a letter to Yingzi, and the post office was nearby, so she would send the letter by the way to work in the afternoon. She also bought a few notebooks, which is the most important thing for Wenlan, she wants to record her daily experience, the problems existing in herself and the hotel, the solutions she thinks and the problems that cannot be solved, etc., etc. She secretly decided that she couldn't be an ordinary working girl, she must work hard and achieve a career. In addition to taking care of Dad, it is to work hard, and there is nothing else to worry about. In order to fight for a career, from today onwards, I can endure any hardship, I can bear any tiredness, I am willing to do any work, and I must do it well. In order to do a good job, no grievances are a problem. She asks herself to have a lesson every day, a summary every week, a summary every month, and an analysis report every quarter, which contains an outlook for the future. Leave a solid footprint with every step you take.
It was just 3:30 when I got back to the hotel. Seeing that Mr. Wang was about to go out, Wen Lan bowed slightly to Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang is good." ”
"Oh, Wenlan, they haven't come yet, you're the earliest. Mr. Wang smiled and walked away.
The partners hadn't arrived yet, so Wen Lan walked around the hotel casually, familiarizing herself with the environment and seeing what work was available. There was already someone in the kitchen, and an aunt was washing vegetables, so Wen Lan hurried over to wash them together.
"You're new here?" Auntie was a little surprised, for the first time someone offered to help her wash her vegetables.
"Hmm. Auntie's surname?" asked Lan Qianlan.
"My surname is Wang, and I am a neighbor of Mr. Wang's hometown. You are a college student, and during the winter vacation, college students have become a sought-after item in hotels, and every hotel is vying for it. Listen to your accent is not a local, study at Nanxin College, every winter vacation, some college students do not go home, will go to the hotel to find a job. "From Aunt Wang's mouth, I learned that most of the outsiders who worked in Nanxin City before the Spring Festival went back, and the hotel was very tight, and Wang Lin Hotel had 28 waiters under normal circumstances, and 28 people were not enough when it was busy. But now there are 21 people, although the Quartet asks for help, only 9 people have been recruited, plus the Wenlan who came today, there are only 17 waiters, which is far from enough.
"I'm not a college student, I'm looking for a job, and I just arrived in Nanxin City yesterday. Wenlan said to Aunt Wang.
"The girl is so beautiful, has such a good temperament, and knows so much politeness, no matter how she looks like a college student, it's a pity to come here to work. Aunt Wang sighed.
"Thank you, Auntie, for the compliment! Are you washing the vegetables alone in the whole hotel?"
"No, how can a person be in time, wait for Mr. Wang's wife, son, and Mr. Wang himself to come over and wash together. There was no way, he couldn't recruit anyone, so Mr. Wang had to wash the vegetables by himself. ”
"To open such a big hotel, the boss also does this kind of work himself, and the boss is very hardworking. ”
"Mr. Wang is really good, and he never scolds employees. Oops, no, girl......"
