Chapter 301: The Lobby Manager

readx; As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThat's not bad at all!

Gong Xiping is very tall and has a slender figure, so he looks particularly spiritual when he wears a uniform. This uniform was selected by Tang Yunwen, and it was chosen according to Gong Xiping's figure. Therefore, after Gong Xiping wears it, it looks extraordinarily fitted.

The upper body of the uniform is a white shirt with a black bow tie and a gray and black suit vest on top. The uniform is a pair of black trousers underneath and a pair of pointed scalp shoes on the feet. Wearing such a uniform, Gong Xiping really looks like a lobby manager.

Tang Yunwen looked at Gong Xiping's outfit with satisfaction, which she had put a lot of thought into choosing. Now it seems that my vision is not bad. It's just that she looks left and right, and there seems to be a little bit of imperfection. It's just that she can't say what is not perfect.

Suddenly, she thought of something!

It turns out that if you are not perfect, you are not perfect here!

Tang Yunwen took off Gong Xiping's black-framed glasses, and then said with satisfaction: "Well, this is perfect." ”

Gong Xiping said with a little impatience: "Okay, okay? ”

"That's it! From now on, you are the lobby manager of the restaurant. ”

"What should the lobby manager do?" Gong Xiping asked.

"What are you doing?" Tang Yunwen pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics, it should be to help order, help place orders, and help serve food when there are not enough people." ”

"Isn't that just running the hall......" Gong Xiping said with some tears and laughter.

"Running hall, lobby, isn't it almost."

When Gong Xiping heard this, he almost fainted. Running the hall, the lobby is almost the same, it is estimated that only Tang Yunwen can say this kind of words. However, for Gong Xiping, whether it is a running hall or a lobby manager, as long as he can help the restaurant, it doesn't matter what he does.

However, for Gong Xiping, who has no experience at all, this is also a big challenge. Of course, Gong Xiping used to be the number one elite of the Sixth Department of National Security, and he was handy in everything he did. Lobby manager or something, although I haven't done it before, but I think that as long as I do it seriously, I should be able to do it well.

Gong Xiping is also very confident in himself sometimes.

The lunch market at noon was not busy, although there were still many customers coming in to dine one after another, but compared to the usual hot scene, this would be considered very few. Because of this, Gong Xiping, the lobby manager, is also doing a good job. I thought that the lobby manager was nothing more than that, so I think it must be easy to deal with.

However, to his surprise, when he went into battle, he was a little dumbfounded.

As soon as 6 o'clock in the evening arrived, the guests who had already booked the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began to enter the restaurant one after another. Since they had prepared in advance, the restaurant staff had already arranged the seats in advance according to the number of reserved guests, or 1 for 4 tables, or 1 for 6 tables, so that the guests could be seated as soon as they arrived.

This was originally an excellent method, and even Gong Xiping couldn't find fault with this method. However, when the guests are seated, the problem arises.

Because it's winter, the restaurant naturally turns on the air conditioning. If there is air conditioning, there will naturally be an air outlet. Originally, when arranging the seats, I only thought of arranging the seats according to the number of guests booked, but I ignored one problem. Many of the guests came with their seniors. If the elderly sit under the air conditioner for a long time, their bodies will feel unwell. Therefore, many guests who come to the restaurant with the elderly and are arranged under the tuyere have asked the restaurant to change its location. As a restaurant, if a guest asks for a change of location, it will naturally need to be satisfied. In this way, guests who come early can change their ideal location, but those who come late will not be able to change their position. Thus, a contradiction arises.

Because the guests are pre-booked Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the menu or something, basically does not need, the only thing that needs guests to order separately is naturally the drink.

The guys who ran the hall were busy serving food, so the task of ordering naturally fell to Gong Xiping, the lobby manager. However, the work of ordering is quite easy for Gong Xiping to deal with. For him, this kind of thing is basically untechnical.

He was helping the guest order a drink, when a guest asked him to come over, and Gong Xiping walked over.

At this time, there was a 6-in-1 table, and there were about 10 people in the family, sitting around the table. Among them are four elderly people, two middle-aged couples, and their two children, who are about 16 or 7 years old.

He was called the husband of one of the two middle-aged couples. Gong Xiping took a look, and it seemed that he should be the eldest in the family. This is a typical Shencheng man, middle-aged and slightly fat, not tall, and a little thankful.

When the middle-aged man saw Gong Xiping coming, he immediately said unhappily: "It seems that you are the manager?" ”

Gong Xiping nodded and said, "Yes, I am the lobby manager." ”

"Can you give us a different place?"

"Changing places?" Gong Xiping was stunned.

"Yes, look at it, the tuyere here is facing 4 old men. My parents and my parents-in-law are both in their 80s this year, and if the wind blows against each other, something will definitely blow out. It's not easy for us to sit in the position of the tuyere, so let's change the position. ”

Gong Xiping looked around and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, there are already guests in other places, and now I can't change them." ”

The middle-aged man's face sank and said, "Then what do you say?" Anyway, we have to find a way to solve it! Otherwise, if the old man blows something wrong, is your restaurant responsible? ”

Gong Xiping glanced at the middle-aged man, and then looked up at the location of the tuyere and the direction of the wind. After observing for a while, he said: "Sir, in fact, the air supply of this tuyere is not very strong, and the wind direction is relatively simple. You see if this will work, you let the old man sit in a different direction, where the old man is sitting now, you and your lover, or your children sit, let the old man sit in the position where you are sitting now, it should be fine. ”

The middle-aged man rolled his eyelids and said with disdain: "Oh, you young man, why don't you understand anything at all!" There are rules for eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and the old man must sit facing south, this is the rule! ”

Gong Xiping was puzzled: "But there are already guests in other locations." Do you see if you can overcome it? ”

The middle-aged man hadn't spoken yet, and the middle-aged woman sitting next to him, who should be his wife, said in a weird manner: "Oh, overcome it, you said it lightly." The old man is sick, can you help me overcome it? If you don't change places, you can turn off the air conditioner. ”

"The air conditioner is turned off, the temperature drops, and other guests will have opinions."

The middle-aged woman sneered: "Then you let them overcome it too!" ”

When Gong Xiping heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and his face turned cold. He understands the principle of harmony and wealth, and he also tries his best to be patient to solve this matter. However, a thing that did not seem to him to be a big deal brought things to an impasse because of the other party's aggressiveness.

Gong Xiping has the arrogance of Gong Xiping, he used to be the number one elite of the Six National Security Ministries, and even now, he is also a member of the Six National Security Ministries, a dragon among people. Although he has always been very low-key, the arrogance in his bones is natural. The somewhat unreasonable attitude of the guests at this table has greatly challenged Gong Xiping's arrogance, and now he would rather not do the family's business than see their faces again.

He's angry!

There are two kinds of people in this world, one is the reasonable person and the other is the unreasonable person. If you are unreasonable, it is a waste of time to reason with him. The only way to deal with this kind of person is to use strong means to force him to reason. This middle-aged couple is obviously an unreasonable person. However, in the face of such a person, Gongxi Ping can't use tough means yet!

Just when Gong Xiping's face turned cold and he was silent, Lu Wanying and Tang Yunwen arrived in time.

After understanding the situation, Lu Wanying smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "This gentleman, you have also seen the situation in the restaurant, and there is really no way to change the position." You see if this will work, after a while, I will give you two more dishes, which can be regarded as compensation for you. If there is a guest here who leaves after eating, I will help you change the position immediately! Do you think that's going to work? New Year's Day, everyone is trying to be happy, don't spoil the mood of the New Year for such a trivial matter! ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Wanying out of the corner of his eye, and then at his wife again. The middle-aged woman said extremely reluctantly: "Send two dishes? Forget it, we're not chicken-bellied people, anyway, it's full now, and we've booked it, so we don't necessarily have to get up and walk away right now. Send two dishes, just send two dishes, we don't care about you. However, to make it clear, I want to think about the New Year, and I'm not happy to worry more about you, but it's not for you to send two more dishes! ”

Lu Wanying smiled and said, "Of course, of course!" Okay, you wait a minute, it's ready to be served. ”

I have to say that as the operator of the restaurant, Lu Wanying is undoubtedly very competent. She was able to settle the tricky guests in a few words, which has to be said that she really has a strong ability and rich experience in this area. Now even Gong Xiping has to admire, Lu Wanying is really capable.

If Gong Xiping is an excellent planner, then Lu Wanying is an excellent executor. Making suggestions and grasping the overall situation is Gongxiping's strength. He was originally the captain of the elite squad, and he had his own unique insights whether it was commanding operations or strategic deployment. As for Lu Wanying, because she has followed Tang Wannian all the year round, she has learned a lot of business and negotiation skills from her husband, so she has her own set of ways and means to deal with people and things.

Gong Xiping and Lu Wanying complement each other, and they cooperate very well.
