Chapter 236: West Lake
Genius remembered for a second, "Love ♂ ÷ small? Say →', provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When Su Rui arrived at the quaint building on the shore of West Lake, the hands of the watch pointed to 8:30, which was the time when the coffee shop opened.
The two-storey building sits on the edge of West Lake, and the entire building is an antique design, with carved beams and eaves and arches from the outside. It is full of history and culture.
It was originally a teahouse, but since Su Rui transformed it into a coffee shop, the deserted façade that used to be crowded has suddenly become lively.
From 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., the café is always bustling with people, and at its busiest times, customers even have to queue outside.
Chinese architecture and Western dining, these two seemingly distinct elements were cleverly combined by Su Rui, and this characteristic also became the signature of the café, and customers from near and far flocked to it, and business boomed soon after it opened.
Compared with the price of the coffee shop, such a lively scene was something Su Rui did not expect.
Walking into the hall, there is a huge service desk in the center, where several staff in white uniforms are busy mixing drinks at the counter, and the slide billboard above the service desk is printed with the price list of various products, cappuccino, champhito, mocha, latte and all kinds of drinks.
At the counter below, you can find a variety of snacks such as cakes, pineapple buns, tiramisu, sandwiches, and chicken rolls.
The rich aroma of coffee and the smell of cream emanating from the counter can be smelled in the air from afar, making you feel appetizing when you are in it.
Around the counter, there are more than a dozen tables and chairs. Although it was early in the morning, there were still many customers sitting here, listening to elegant music, tasting delicious snacks, drinking strong coffee, and enjoying the beautiful lakeside scenery outside the window.
A good day begins.
The waiter in a white shirt and a short black skirt walked between the customers, and when they saw Su Rui coming in, they greeted warmly: "Hello store manager!" ”
Su Rui smiled and responded to everyone, her memory is very good, and the employee's information can be remembered as long as she reads it once. Everyone's name, hobbies, age, and school she came from can be casually named.
The staff also liked the young, beautiful, kind and amiable store manager.
The new store manager is close, has no shelves, and is good at management, arranging the complicated work in an orderly manner, and everyone performs their own duties and responsibilities. 【愛↑去△小↓說△網 Qu 】
The quality of service is good, the product quality is high, and naturally business is booming, and the higher the turnover of the store, the more bonuses everyone will get, so everyone is full of enthusiasm to work.
Most of these employees came to work part-time at nearby universities, and Su Rui was shocked when he first saw their payslips, doing such a busy job, and the income was so low. And there is a major gap between this and the Western service industry, and that is that the waiters don't tip at all.
After Su Rui took over the store, he began to drastically change the way of operation, in addition to the original fixed salary, a certain percentage of the operating profit was taken out every month as a bonus to the employees.
This initiative has been strongly supported by employees, and everyone has increased their income significantly, and everyone has become more enthusiastic about going to work, and they are earning as much as a full-time white-collar worker for a month. With such a superior welfare package, every employee is proud to work in the coffee shop.
The intimate service also brought a better experience to the customers, the business was getting better and better, and there were more and more customers, so Su Rui had to recruit several more batches of part-time college students. During the interview, Su Rui was stunned, probably because of his reputation, there were nearly 1,000 people signing up for the quota of several people, and the team turned from the store to the street, and circled several times. Su Rui had never seen such a grand occasion.
Near noon, there were more and more customers in the store, and Su Rui saw that the waiter was too busy, so he also helped in the hall.
When she was ordering a drink for a customer, a staff member suddenly came over and said nervously to her, "Store manager, there are two college students looking for you outside and saying that they want to come for an interview." ”
"Interview? Haven't we stopped hiring? ”
"Yes, I told him, they didn't listen, and a fat man lost his temper and said he wanted to find a leader!"
The waiter hesitated and said, "Manager, do you want to go out and have a look?" I think that person looks very vicious, is he here to collect protection money......"
Su Rui smiled and shook his head, and handed him the ordering book in his hand: "You come to order for this gentleman, I'll go out and take a look." ”
Outside the door of the coffee shop, there are two figures, one fat and one thin, under the scorching sun barbecue at noon, they are sweating, the two of them have their backs to the coffee shop, facing the lake and blowing the wind, and the leaflets in their hands are hula-la.
Such a familiar back, Su Rui was stunned.
……
"Forget it, people have already said that they won't recruit people, let's go back." Zi Yang shook off the sweat on his forehead and squinted his eyes and said.
I ran under the sun for more than 1 hour, but I was told the result, not to mention how depressed I was.
Lao Wang rattled the propaganda leaflet and said angrily:
"That's not good, this kid is blinded to us! I don't know what's going on here? Obviously, there is a quota, but he has to say that there is no place, and he keeps all the good things for his fox friends and dogs! Hmph, if you want to come with me, no way! He's a fart! Don't worry, when you encounter this kind of thing, go directly to their leaders......"
"The leader is here! Do you have any complaints about the two of you......" Su Rui walked behind the two of them, said with a stiff face, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Zi Yang and Lao Wang turned their heads suddenly, looking at Su Rui's incredible expression, and their eyes were about to fall out.
"You, you, you! How, how are you!! ”
"I, I, I, what's wrong with me? I still want to ask, what are you two doing here? ”
"I—We're here to work during the summer vacation!" Lao Wang Yang said with the recruitment revelation in his hand.
It turned out that because of their full "preparations", Zi Yang and Lao Wang miraculously passed all of them in the final exam, and finally got rid of the title of "Prince of Make-up Examinations", and both of them were unprecedentedly relaxed and happy.
But the good days don't last a few days, and they are about to face a problem, they have no money!
The money given by Ah Chong was quickly spent, what should I do with the expenses for the next semester? The little money given by the family is only enough for them to pay tuition fees and maintain basic living expenses, but considering Xiaohei's expenses and rental costs, this money is not enough at all, and they can't bear to ask the family for more money, so they still have to use the old way to solve it, part-time!
The little money earned by part-time work can only make up for a few holes in foreign debt. And this kind of work is too hard, and the income is small, and Ziyang can't hold it up after two months.
Later, he found a job as a tutor, and Lao Wang also found a job as a sparring partner in the boxing gym.
Although the work is much easier, the money earned by tutors and sparring partners is still not enough for their expenses.
As soon as the two of them combined, there were two months of summer vacation, so they simply didn't go back, and there was just plenty of time, so they found a stable and high-paying job to do him for two months to earn him.
In the past few days, the two of them have been wandering around the streets and alleys, and even went to several labor agency companies, but these intermediary companies hidden in the corners are basically some pretenses, and there is no good job introduction, not to mention, and they have to charge them an intermediary fee first......
The two of them were really helpless, so they had to run to the construction site to try their luck, and later learned that now they have to go through the back door and plug the benefits when they are small workers.
When he was desperate, Lao Wang picked up a dirty recruitment revelation on the side of the road, and saw what a new coffee shop was recruiting waiters, the salary was quite high and there were bonuses, and the requirements were not high, first of all, college students, and secondly, good facial features...... The words below were blurred by a big footprint.
Lao Wang saw that this was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and felt that this work was quite in line with himself, and pulled Ziyang hard, and the two of them rode around the city for most of the time to the shore of Xizi Lake, and grabbed a staff member at the door to explain their intentions, but they were told that they had stopped recruiting, and Lao Wang was so angry that he almost put the recruitment advertisement Hu that young man with a ......
Seeing Lao Wang spitting and spitting with Su Rui, Ziyang lowered his head and didn't say a word.
It's not that he can't interject, it's that he doesn't want to say - if there is a crack in the ground now, he can even get in.
He would rather Su Rui didn't see himself now.
Zi Yang was extremely reluctant to meet Su Rui in this situation.
He had a deep sense of inferiority in his heart.
Compared with Su Rui, who was dressed brightly, he looked like he had just been pulled out of the garbage heap. After running around under the sun for a long time, my crumpled clothes were covered with sweat stains, and my face was probably not much better.
What's worse is that there is a hole in the sneaker......
Zi Yang secretly looked at Su Rui, Su Rui didn't seem to notice Zi Yang's embarrassment, and still looked at Lao Wang talking there with a smile.
In fact, the careful Su Rui had already noticed that Ziyang's performance was a little abnormal, and he was still wondering in his heart: What's wrong? The last time they met, they were still so enthusiastic, and the two had just had their first intimate contact...... This time they met, they were like strangers, did they offend him again?
Su Rui, who has lived a prosperous life since childhood, did not realize the inferiority complex in Ziyang's heart.
"Hey, Xiao Su, it's easy for you to work here, hurry up and find your leader, help us talk, and give our two brothers a chance." You also know, brother, we have nothing else, but he has the strength to do any dirty work, and Ziyang is even more powerful, do you know what he did to work and make money? ……”
Lao Wang's explanation made Ziyang even more ashamed - he didn't want to live anymore, and even wanted to plunge into the lake next to him.
Although the water is not good, drowning is better than standing here and being humiliated.
"Ziyang, what's wrong with you?" Su Rui finally mustered up the courage to take Ziyang's hand.
It seemed like a very natural action, but Zi Yang hurriedly pulled his hand out of Su Rui's hand and hid it behind him as if he had encountered a red-hot soldering iron.
"No, nothing."
His hands were full of sweat and stains, and he was afraid that it would be dirty to Su Rui, and he was afraid that Su Rui would dislike it.
Su Rui was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Ziyang to reject herself so clearly, and her smiling expression became dim.
“…… Hey, Su Rui, seriously, hurry up and find a job with us, these days Xiao Hei and I are going to be driven crazy by him, he kicks us out to work before dawn every day, and refuses to let us into the house until late at night. Like Zhou Papi, I don't have enough to eat, Xiao Hei and I have to pray before going to bed, and Guanyin Bodhisattva will quickly appear to help us escape Lao Li's clutches......"
Lao Wang didn't seem to realize the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and still chattered.
Su Rui smiled and said, "Have you had lunch?" I invite you to dinner. ”
"Of course I didn't! Just eat as much as you want, don't order too much...... "Lao Wang doesn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and he is about to walk to the coffee shop.
In fact, they had already eaten a meal of bone vegetables, but Lao Wang was embarrassed to say that when he smelled the fragrance inside, his stomach had been protesting and calling Lao Lao for a long time - he was so angry.
Seeing Zi Yang standing there without moving, Su Rui lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Aren't you going in?" ”
Ziyang looked up at the sky, her eyes were sore from the sun, and she felt like she was about to cry.
Su Rui plucked up his courage and took Ziyang's hand again.
"Let's go!"
This time, Ziyang didn't dodge again. The two of them, led by Su Rui, walked towards the coffee shop.
"Store manager, you ......"
A little girl in uniform saw Su Rui come in, greeted her with a smile, and when she saw Lao Wang and Ziyang next to her, she was suddenly stunned, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground, and the cups and spoons spilled all over the ground.
Lao Wang and Ziyang were also stunned when they saw her. Reading, a better reading experience.
