Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 176: The fifth store

Views:

Fu Chi stood opposite the man in black, his brows furrowed and he looked embarrassed.

There were three or four other people standing on one side of him, a slightly older man and a slightly older woman, dressed simply, with slightly hunched backs.

The remaining two people were about the same age as Kuba, with their brows lowered, secretly looking at the man in black with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Lu Yao walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he walked between the two groups of people and glanced at the man in black.

As expected, his eyes were covered with black veil.

I really can't stand the nagging.

Fu Chi let out a breath and explained in a low voice: "During the time you were away, several people came to apply for the job. This one is blind, so I thought he was unsuitable and declined him. But he refused to leave and kept saying he wanted to see you."

Lu Yao nodded and turned to look at the other side, "Is this the person you chose?"

Fu Chi nodded: "Two cleaners and two ticket inspectors."

Lu Yao looked at the four people.

The two older men immediately bent down and saluted her, while the younger man and woman bowed their heads slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lu Yao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, you go and make the arrangements."

After giving the order, she looked at the man in black again and said meaningfully, "He, I'll interview him."

Fu Chi was puzzled, so he pulled Lu Yao aside and tried to lower his voice: "Shopkeeper, I know you have a good heart and don't care about trivial matters, but you don't need to keep an idle person. He's a blind man, what can he do?"

Lu Yao patted Fu Chi's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Take those four people to fill in the information first, and then get familiar with the work."

Fu Chi left with the four new recruits, secretly lamenting that the owner was still young, too idealistic in his work, and lacked rational judgment.

Lu Yao didn't care about other people's eyes at all. He raised his chin slightly towards the man in black and said, "My name is Lu Yao, the owner of this cinema. What's your name?"

"Ye Xiao."

The man's voice was clear and soft, different from the original Bai Ming, Carlos and Chi Jin. It was also different from the tone when he appeared in the depths of the sea and reminded her.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Lu Yao acted with him.

Ye Xiao lowered his head slightly and turned towards her, following the sound of her voice. "I was born with a disease and cannot see."

Blind, but confident.

Lu Yao simply pulled over a chair, sat down casually, and held out his hand to him: "Sit down and talk."

Ye Xiao lightly hooked his feet, accurately found the leg of the chair, moved back, and sat down opposite Lu Yao.

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows and praised with interest: "Great!"

Ye Xiao: "... Yeah."

Still "hmm", without any desire to survive.

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes, tapped the table with his fingers, and said calmly: "There is really no suitable position for you in your situation."

Ye Xiao: “…”

A completely unexpected rejection.

Lu Yao saw that he seemed to be frozen, and pressed down the corners of his mouth that were curled up, "Perhaps, you have some unusual specialties?"

After going through the period of being a crying monster killer whale, when I saw him again as a human, I suddenly understood him better.

Ye Xiao: "... I am good at martial arts, I can be a bodyguard."

Lu Yao touched his chin, as if thinking.

After the lunch show, there was a quarter-hour break. Kuba came over from the screening area and prepared to go back to the lounge to drink water.

Passing by the rest area, he saw Ye Xiao and immediately walked over with a look of surprise.

Why is Xiao Jiu here

Has he completed his mission in Liangjing

Normally, you should go back to the pavilion after completing the mission. Why are you still wandering around outside

Lu Yao saw Kuba and asked: "An acquaintance?"

Kuba coughed lightly, raised his hand to scratch his bangs, and said reluctantly: "Alright, alright."

He felt that the mission was going well these days and didn't want to be disturbed at all.

But then he thought, he came to the cinema first, and if Xiao Jiu came in, wouldn’t he have to call him “senior”

Then ask the store owner to record it with his mobile phone and play it repeatedly in front of someone...

Kuba's mouth almost cracked to the back of his ears just by imagining that scene. "Boss, Xiaojiu was born with a diseased eye, but his other senses are sharper than those of ordinary people. He is qualified to be an ordinary guard."

Lu Yao blinked and said in a long tone: "So he is Xiao Jiu—"

Ye Xiao said coldly: "… My name is Ye Xiao. I'm afraid this brother has recognized the wrong person."

Crying Eight: “…”

No matter how Kuba hinted, Xiaojiu insisted that he had recognized the wrong person.

Lu Yao watched the show, and when he saw that it was almost over, he agreed to let Ye Xiao try the position of bodyguard.

The shopkeeper also called Xiao Jiu "Ye Xiao". Ku Ba felt a little depressed, but this person had become his junior after all. Looking back on the past, he would have many opportunities to be proud of himself in the future.

Lu Yao got the information of the newcomers from Fu Chi, including ticket inspectors Hongyu, Chen Xiaoliu, Li Chunhua, cleaners Zhou Youfu, Zhao Jinxiang, and guard Ye Xiao.

Including Hongyu, six people were recruited this time, which was enough for the time being. Lu Yao asked the system to remove the recruitment notices posted everywhere.

The cleaning staff that had been vacant for a long time has finally been recruited, and people in various positions no longer have to take on multiple jobs.

Lu Yao plans to transfer Wen Jian to the ticket office and have him take shifts with Zhu Zhu in the future.

When it's busy, the one who's free will go to the store to help out.

Ku Ba served as the leader of the ticket checking team, responsible for leading Hong Yu and two newcomers.

There are quite a lot of newcomers at the moment, and Lu Yao and Fu Chi will also help lead them.

Among the pile of information, except for Hongyu's, the rest were oral and written by Fu Chi.

Lu Yao pondered for a while and drafted six temporary contracts.

The temporary contract is valid for seven days. If any problems arise during the probation period, the clerk's important memories of working in the cinema will disappear.

After seven days, those who officially join the company will sign a stronger contract.

Zhu Zhu and others signed corresponding contracts when they joined the company.

There must be something wrong with Hongyu. The four people recruited by Fu Chi could not see anything wrong for the time being, but Lu Yao was a little concerned, and it would always be better to be safe.

As for Ye Xiao, she never thought that a simple contract could bind him, it was just a formality.

Hongyu got the temporary contract and read it over and over again.

The explicit content of the contract is that the clerks cannot disclose confidential information in the cinema that is recognized by the owner. If they violate the contract, they will be held accountable by the cinema.

Hongyu thought that the young shopkeeper was more sophisticated than she had expected, but still naive.

This shop is so ostentatious that I don't know how many people have been targeting it. A piece of paper has no effect at all.

She made sure there were no problems with the written document and pressed her fingerprint directly.

The others also quickly put their fingerprints on it.

To warm up for the third screening of "The Little Chef of Shengjing", the cinema released a new trailer separately in the afternoon, accompanied by a three-minute long clip of the exciting plot.

After watching "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers", the guests came out and saw the trailer of "The Little Chef". Their eyes, which had lost their luster, gradually became brighter - the happy enemies seemed to be a good match, which just relieved the sadness after watching "Falling Flowers".

On the second day, the third premiere of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" attracted a long queue at the door early.

Due to insufficient screening halls, the first show of "The Little Chef" and "The Best in the World" were not scheduled that day.

The people of the Dawu Dynasty bought their tickets first, then turned left out of habit to buy popcorn and Coke, only to find that even the convenience store had new products.

Through the transparent glass, rows of shiny grilled sausages are slowly turning, emitting an enticing aroma.

Different from the sweet fragrance of popcorn, the smell of oil mixed with an indescribable aroma goes straight to the tip of the nose, making people salivate.

The customer stared at the sausage in a daze, and the person behind him pushed him and said, "Do you want to buy it? If not, go away."

The man came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and asked the dog: "Is this delicious?"

Gou Zi went home last night and told Old Man Gao about the name. Old Man Gao thought about it for a whole night and named him "Jiacheng", hoping that he would have a successful family business soon.

Gao Jiacheng nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious, two cents a stick. There's a promotion for new products, buy a hot dog and get a cup of new orange juice for free."

When the man heard there was an event, he said directly: "Give me one."

The customer saw the waiter picking around with tongs and picked up a hot dog with a casing that had burst in the middle. He frowned and waved his hand to refuse: "I don't want this one. It's rotten."

Gao Jiacheng explained: "This kind of blooming hot dog is the most delicious. The casing is crispy and chewy, and the inside is salty and sticky, with a slight sweetness. The more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes. A little chili powder on the burst casing will give it another flavor."

After closing yesterday, the shopkeeper packed two grilled hot dogs for each employee to take home.

This morning, every time a clerk passed by the store, they couldn't help but glance at the sausage roasting machine, without exception.

The man was skeptical, and someone leaned out from behind him and said loudly, "He doesn't want it, give this one to me."

Gao Jiacheng smiled and replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."

A big bucket of popcorn costs two cents, and a small hot dog also costs two cents. It's really not cost-effective, but it looks fresh and comes with free orange juice, so I bought them just to try them.

At first, most customers who bought hot dogs wanted to try something new, but after eating them, their minds changed.

I don't know what this thing is made of, but the taste and texture are similar to what the boy described, salty with a little sweet, chewy and sticky. It's not as amazing as the initial popcorn, but it becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

The first customer who bought a hot dog finished one in a few bites, licked his lips, still unsatisfied, turned around to look at the sausage grill, and quietly lined up behind the crowd.
