Chapter 0036: Seaside
Although Xiamen is on the seashore and is a seaside city, Zheng Zhishang has been in Xiamen for more than half a year, but this is the first time in his life to stand on the beach and see the sea at close range.
This time I came to the beach, or Aunt Tan Lin discussed with Grandma Zhong and Aunt Liu Yue, and they came to the beach for a vacation or something. Originally, Zheng Zhishang didn't have much interest, and the place where he lived and worked in his previous life was in a coastal city in the north.
I went to the beach with my friends and co-workers, and I didn't think there was anything fun, but there was a smell of sea.
However, under the lure of Zhong Tongqian, the little girl Lin Yu was very interested and wanted to play with her. In order to make the little girl happy, Zheng Zhishang had to follow.
It's just that Zheng Zhishang didn't expect that the place where everyone came was actually Gulangyu, which in his previous life, Zheng Zhishang didn't know how many times he had seen it in geography and travel magazines.
However, at this time, Gulangyu Island has not yet been developed, everything still retains the original breath and smell, and many ancient buildings are even somewhat dilapidated because they have not been repaired for a long time. The bluestone streets, too, are cold. It is difficult to see outsiders except for local residents.
Aunt Tan Lin's parents now live in a seaside sanatorium on Gulangyu Island. This time, everyone came and settled in this sanatorium.
The area of the sanatorium is very large, with small buildings with white walls and red tiles, surrounded by greenery, and the blue sea and sky in the distance. The sea breeze is not as hot as the city, and it is still a little cool, but it is also a good place to recuperate.
"Xingxing, why don't you hang out with Sissi and them." Grandma Tan walked over with a pot of fruit.
"Just came back from a swim and was a little tired." Zheng Zhishang said with a smile:
But no, as soon as the group arrived here in the morning, the energetic Zhong Tongqian pulled Zheng Zhishang and the little girl Lin Yu to play everywhere. However, what surprised Zheng Zhishang was that he didn't look at Zhong Tongqian's playfulness, he knew everything on Gulangyu very well, and when it came to the historical allusions or something, he was like a little tour guide.
In the afternoon, after coming back, I had just had lunch, and not long after, Aunt Tan Lin and Aunt Liu Yue were about to go swimming, and Zhong Tongqian, who didn't know that she was tired, pulled Zheng Zhishang and Lin Yu again, and she had to follow.
"Star, come and eat some fruit." Grandma Tan greeted her, looked at Zheng Zhishang, and asked again: "By the way, Xingxing, I heard that you are going to open a branch." ”
"Hmm" swallowed the watermelon in his mouth, Zheng Zhishang nodded and smiled.
"Where are you opening your new store?" Grandma Tan asked again:
Zheng Zhishang nodded with a smile and said, "On the side of Zhongshan Road, not far from here, after the opening, if you and Grandpa are fine, you can go over often." ”
As early as a week ago, with the efforts of Wang Qimei, Hong Aiyue, and Chen Xiaonan, the three of them showed Zheng Zhishang the market research report or something, about market competition analysis, market positioning or something, although it is not very in place, there are some loopholes.
However, basically Zheng Zhishang is still very satisfied with the efforts of the three of them, after all, the highest education among the three is only Wang Qimei's second year of junior high school. Hong Aiyue and Chen Xiaonan, both of them, are not necessary in primary school, and it is not easy for the three of them to achieve this level and complete this report.
In fact, during this period, this so-called market research report is not of much use. No matter what the market, it has not reached saturation, as long as you participate in it, with a fast food, now famous in Xiamen City, it is not easy to lose money, unless there is an accident.
It's just that if you want to develop a Zhengzhen into a restaurant chain, this kind of training is indispensable for old employees such as Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, and Hong Aiyue.
Although Zheng Zhishang can manage directly, in a few years, after Zheng Zhishang goes to school, there will not be so many things to manage the affairs of the store, so it is especially important for Zheng Zhishang to cultivate a qualified manager who can be trusted.
And Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, Hong Aiyue, these old employees, have become Zheng Zhishang's preferred personnel.
In the location of the new store, Zheng Zhishang also took advantage of the opportunity to open a branch store in order to facilitate the management of the new store, so when looking for a branch store, there was a small building facing the street, and the small building had a total of three floors.
The area of each floor is about 100 square meters, except for the first floor, which has been transformed into a kitchen and lobby. The second floor was turned into an office by Zheng Zhishang, which has the general finance department, marketing department, personnel department, product research and development department, and administration department.
At the same time, in the following store, according to Zheng Zhishang's previous arrangement, there is a store manager and a deputy store manager, and the two jointly manage the affairs inside and outside the store, in addition to a special treasurer, who is only responsible for the general finance department. This is also to prevent the future of the store manager, deputy store manager and other low-level management personnel, to damage the interests of a fast food.
The product R&D department, as the name suggests, is a department that excavates and develops snacks from all over the world, and at the same time continues to develop the products that a fast food is now operating. At this time, there were only two people in this department, Chen Xiaonan and Hong Aiyue, and at the same time, the two were also responsible for the kitchen work of the old store and the new store.
The number of departments of a fast food company has increased, and the respective responsibilities have also been subdivided.
However, at this time, even if a new restaurant opens, there are only two stores, and it is impossible to support too many employees.
Therefore, Zheng Zhishang of the General Finance Department is personally in charge, and Wang Qimei assists, and Wang Qimei is also in charge of the personnel department. As for the marketing department and the administrative department, they are also still vacant, and no one is in charge, and for the time being, Zheng Zhishang, Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, and Hong Aiyue are jointly responsible.
Although it is said to be management, in fact, the entire office is only four people: Wang Yimei, Chen Xiaonan, Hong Aiyue, and Zheng Zhishang.
It can be said that the number of employees has not increased much, the old store is still maintained at those 20 people, and the new store has only recruited more than 20 new employees.
"By the way, Xingxing, I forgot to ask you, when will the new store open?" Zhong Tongqian, who had just come back from outside with Aunt Tan Lin, Aunt Liu Yue, and Grandma Zhong, heard the words of Zheng Zhishang and Grandma Tan, and asked:
"What?" Zheng Zhishang asked vigilantly:
"Cut, what do you mean, I'm afraid I'll eat you, stingy ......"
"Really?" Looking at Zhong Tongqian, Zheng Zhishang smiled, deliberately raised his voice, and said, "Grandma Zhong, Aunt Liu Yue, there is one thing I forgot to tell you." ”
"You dare to say ......" Before Zheng Zhishang finished speaking, Zhong Tong Qian jumped like a little tiger and pounced.
"Sissi, don't think that if the stars don't say it, I don't know, some time ago, you went out with your maid and did something every day." Grandma Zhong also said with a straight face:
But no, since Zhong Tongqian was on vacation, during this time, the little girl Lin Yu was encouraged every day, and the two often took advantage of Zheng Zhishang and Grandma Zhong not paying attention to run to the store to ask for food. Because Yaya is Zheng Zhishang's sister, the employees in the store know it.
I don't dare to offend the little girl. Zheng Fang, Wu Jinfeng, Yu Mei, Sammo Hung, Wang Ximei, Chen Degui, the first batch of employees, are also very good to the little girl, although there are store rules in the store, but a few people use their own money to buy some food for the little girl Lin Yu and Zhong Tongqian, which is nothing.
It's just that what a few people didn't expect was that this would also make them shoot themselves in the foot. Zhong Tongqian and the little girl Lin Yu didn't know this, and thought that the two of them could eat for free when they went to the store. As a result, the two often ran over.
Zheng Fang, Wu Jinfeng, Yu Mei, Sammo Hung, Wang Ximei, Chen Degui and others were unintentionally blackmailed two or three times by the two little girls. Among them, Zheng Fang is the worst, whoever called her during this time was on the day shift, and every time the two little girls came, it was when Zheng Fang was on duty.
With Zheng Fang's salary of about forty a month, where is there enough for these two little girls to eat every day. I didn't dare to tell Zheng Zhishang, because Zheng Zhishang had already said it in the store. In the end, Wu Jinfeng couldn't bear it and secretly told Wang Yimei about it.
After Wang Qimei found out, she didn't dare to make the decision, and recorded the consumption of Zhong Tongqian and Lin Yu in the store to Zheng Zhishang's account, so she told Zheng Zhishang about it, and Zheng Zhishang couldn't cry or laugh and was a little annoyed that Zheng Fang, Wu Jinfeng, Yu Mei, Sammo Hung, Wang Ximei, Chen Degui and others made their own claims.
It also made Zheng Zhishang understand that although there are store rules, China is a personal society after all, and the concept of human feelings is too strong. They did this, although they did not rule out loving the little girl Lin Yu, it was nothing more than seeing their relationship with Lin Yu and Zhong Tongqian.
Although he also sympathized with Zheng Fang in his heart, for this matter, Zheng Zhishang only asked Wang Yimei to compensate Zheng Fang in her name in private, and as for the others, as for Zheng Zhishang, he publicly reprimanded a few people, and there was no compensation.
It's not that Zheng Zhishang is stingy, but he mainly hopes that through this incident, they will remember it for a long time.
For Zhong Tongqian and the little girl Lin Yu, he also preached fiercely, but Zheng Zhishang's words were useful for the little girl Lin Yu, but they were completely ineffective for Zhong Tongqian. Well, who called her a sister?
Although in the end, Zhong Tongqian and the little girl Lin Yu promised not to go to the store to eat secretly.
However, I also knew in my heart that Zhong Tongqian was here, and she was usually well-behaved and obedient, but it was inevitable that she would not be bewitched by Zhong Tongqian again, and secretly ran to the store with her again. Or privately explained to the store, so that the store will be recorded in his own account in the future.
lest the two girls secretly go to the store to eat and don't give money.
At this time, Tong Qian was also stunned, puffing out her eyes and glaring at Zheng Zhishang, as if she was asking, is it your secret.
Looking at Zhong Tongqian's appearance, Zheng Zhishang was also aggrieved in his heart, what does this matter to me. It's you yourself who every time you take the girl to the store to eat, you still have a little tail, and you don't know if you are discovered, but when you see the little girl Lin Yu, you look at yourself with fear and fear at this time.
could only open his mouth to relieve Zhong Tongqian, and said with a smile: "Grandma Zhong, I asked Sister Qianqian to take Yaya to the store." ”
"Xingxing, don't speak for Sissi, she is almost used to it, her final exam results have regressed again this year, and she will be in the second year of junior high school in the second half of the year, and she is not at all the same." Grandma Zhong blamed Zheng Zhishang for her anger, and then turned to preaching to Zhong Tongqian.
looked at Zhong Tongqian, muttering the stick on her cheeks, pouting her small mouth, and being trained. Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but it wasn't that he had been pressed by the little girl for a long time, and he couldn't resist and resist, not to mention how suffocating.
However, in order not to let Zhong Tongqian hate herself, she still had to relieve her, and said: "Grandma, this study, the results don't mean anything, if you want me to take the exam, I may not be able to pass the test." ”
In fact, Grandma Zhong doesn't really want to educate Zhong Tongqian, after all, it is the nature of children to be greedy and playful, and there is only such a granddaughter in the family, and it is not without that condition.
also took advantage of Zheng Zhishang's steps, and didn't say anything.
However, Zheng Zhishang was not so lucky, Zhong Tongqian was really resentful, and soon found Zheng Zhishang, poured all his anger on Zheng Zhishang, and asked with the appearance of a little tiger: "Say, did you tell the secret." ”
"Sister, it's really not my whistleblower ......"
"Then my grandma, how do you know?" Zhong Tongqian was determined that it was Zheng Zhishang's secret, and he would not forgive.
Zheng Zhishang was also helpless, so he had to say: "Sister, you have eaten by yourself, and you don't wipe your mouth." And in the past few days, you have eaten dinner a few times, and it is okay not to eat once, but there are too many times, what do you think? ”
"Sissi, I'm bullying the stars again." Fortunately, Aunt Tan Lin came over at this time, and finally let Zheng Zhishang get rid of Zhong Tongqian, a little girl.
"Auntie, where is it, why did I bully her......" Zhong Tongqian shook the two braids on the back of her head, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Aunt Tan, are we joking?" Zheng Zhishang also smiled and said:
"Don't keep bullying the stars, the stars are smaller than you, but they are much more sensible than you, so small, they started to make money to support themselves. You should really learn from him. And Yaya, you have to set a good example for her. Although Zheng Zhishang also said good things for Zhong Tongqian, Zhong Tongqian was inevitably lectured by Aunt Liu Yue, who came with Aunt Tan Lin.
It seems that Zhong Tongqian's influence on these people is really bad.
This is also a matter of no choice, who called this girl who doesn't like to study, is greedy for fun, and greedy for food, and now with such a contrast as Zheng Zhishang, Zhong Tongqian is even more unbearable.
"By the way, Auntie, when are we going back?" Zheng Zhishang was also praised a little embarrassed, but he was not a person in his twenties with a psychological age, how could he be compared to a child who was only fourteen years old.
"Why, I just want to go back. It's still early, and we're going back to the city after dinner. Aunt Tan Lin replied:
"Will you be able to catch the ferry?" Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but be a little worried.
Gulangyu Island is a small island sandwiched between Xiamen Island and the mainland, and there is no bridge, so if you want to go back, you can only take a ferry. Moreover, the ferries are usually closed at night, and Zheng Zhishang has to be a little worried.
"We ate early, and we made it to the last one." Aunt Tan Lin smiled and said jokingly: "If you can't catch up, you just stay here for one night, and I won't let you sleep on the street, what's there to worry about." ”
"By the way, Xingxing, I heard that you are going to open a branch on Zhongshan Road, why do you still open snacks." Aunt Liu Yue suddenly asked:
"Hmm" Zheng Zhishang nodded and said: "Doing catering, the return of funds is fast, and the profits are also high." ”
"It's not easy, when I first arrived in Xiamen, I was still wandering the streets at the train station, and in a blink of an eye, I was the owner of two snack bars." Aunt Tan Lin said with emotion:
Think about it, but when I first got off the train, although I was very excited, I was more confused, I didn't know where my road was, and I wandered on the street for a few days, until I met Grandma Huang, and finally had a place to stay, and the next thing was like a dream.
Up to now, sometimes thinking about it, Zheng Zhishang can't believe that all this will be true.
I only heard Aunt Tan Lin, and said with a smile: "You don't know yet, when I first saw the stars, I thought he was a little beggar from somewhere, give him money, and he actually came over to pay it back to me." ”
Then he sighed again and said: "I really don't know, where do you have the guts, a child's family, dare to come to Xiamen alone, I really don't know, the person who helped you buy the ticket, after knowing, what will happen?" ”
"Hehe......" Zheng Zhishang also scratched his head and smiled brightly.
I have known each other for a long time, and for Aunt Tan Lin, there are some things that I have not hidden from Aunt Tan Lin, and I haven't mentioned anything about my relatives or anything, and at the moment, Zheng Zhishang doesn't want my aunt and fourth uncle to come over.
It's not that I'm worried that they will have to go back by themselves, but now, when I think about leaving a letter and running away, I don't know how to face them.
