When Su Rui rushed to the quaint building by the West Lake, the hand of the watch was exactly at 8:30, which was when the coffee shop opened.
This two-story building is located by the West Lake. The entire building is of antique design. From the outside, you can see carved beams and painted buildings and flying eaves. Full of historical and cultural atmosphere.
This was originally a tea house. Since Su Rui transformed it into a coffee shop, the deserted facade of the old door suddenly became lively.
From opening at 8:30 in the morning to closing at 10 in the evening, the coffee shop is always crowded with people, and it is very lively. At the busiest time, customers even have to queue outside.
Chinese-style architecture and Western-style dining, these two seemingly distinct elements have been cleverly combined by Su Rui. This feature has also become the signature of the coffee shop. Customers from far and near have come in admiringly, and the business has become popular soon after opening.
Compared with the price of the coffee shop, which is not low, Su Rui did not expect such a lively scene.
Entering the lobby, there is a huge service desk in the center. Several staff in white uniforms are busy preparing drinks inside the counter. The slide billboard above the service desk is printed with price lists of various products, cappuccino. There are all kinds of drinks such as Nuo, Xiang Macchiato, Mocha, and Latte.
In the counter below, there are various snacks such as exquisite cakes, pineapple buns, tiramisu, sandwiches, chicken rolls and so on.
The strong aroma of coffee and cream from the counter can be smelled from a long distance in the air, making people feel appetite when they are in it.
Around the counter, there are more than a dozen tables and chairs. Although it is early morning, many customers are already sitting here, listening to elegant music, tasting delicious snacks, drinking rich coffee, and admiring the beautiful lakeside scenery outside the window.
This is the beginning of a good day.
Waiters wearing white tops and black short skirts walked between the customers. Seeing Su Rui coming in, they greeted enthusiastically: "Hello, manager!"
Su Rui smiled and responded to everyone. Her memory is very good, and the staff's information can be remembered after reading it once. She can say everyone's name, hobbies, age, and which school they are from.
The staff also liked the young, beautiful, amiable and amiable store manager.
The new store manager is close to people, has no shelf, and is good at management. He arranges the complicated work in an orderly manner. Everyone has his own duties and responsibilities.
The service quality is good, the product quality is high, and the business is also booming. The higher the turnover in the store, the more bonuses everyone will get, so everyone goes to work with enthusiasm.
Most of these employees came to work part-time at nearby universities. Su Rui was shocked when he first saw their payslips. With such a busy job, the income is so low. Moreover, there is still a major gap compared with the Western service industry, that is, the waiters do not tip at all.
After Su Rui took over the store, she began to drastically change the business method. In addition to the original fixed salary, a certain percentage of the operating profit was given out to the employees as bonuses every month. Those who can do more work and earn more. .
This move has won the strong support of employees, everyone's income has increased significantly, and everyone has become more ** at work. Their income from part-time work here for a month is even comparable to the salary of a full-time white-collar worker. With such superior benefits, every employee is proud of working in the coffee shop.
The caring service has also brought a better experience to the customers. The business is getting better and the customers are getting more and more. Su Rui had to recruit a few more part-time college students. During the interview, Su Rui was stunned. It was probably because of his reputation. There were nearly a thousand people who signed up for the number of people. The team turned from the store to the street and made several laps. Su Rui had never seen such a grand occasion.
As it approached noon, there were more and more customers in the store. Seeing that the waiter was too busy, Su Rui also helped in the lobby.
While ordering a drink for a customer, a staff member suddenly came over and said to her nervously: "The shop manager, there are two college students outside looking for you, saying that they will come for an interview."
"Interview? Haven't we stopped hiring people?"
"Yeah, I told him, they didn't listen, there was a fat guy who lost his temper and said he was looking for a leader!"
The waiter hesitated and said, "The shopkeeper, would you like to go out and have a look? I think that man looks very vicious, is he here to collect protection money..."
Su Rui smiled and shook his head, and handed him the order book in his hand: "You come to order for this gentleman, I'll go out and take a look."
Outside the coffee shop, there are two figures standing, one fat and one thin. Under the scorching sun at noon, they are sweating and sweating. The two people face the coffee shop with their backs to the lake, and the leaflets in their hands are smashed. Ground sound.
Su Rui was taken aback by his familiar back.
…
"Forget it, people have said that they can't hire people, let's go back." Zi Yang shook off the sweat from his forehead and said with squinting eyes.
After running for more than an hour under the big sun, I was told of the result, not to mention how depressed I was.
Lao Wang rustled the leaflet and said in a loud voice:
"That's not good, this kid fools us! I still don't know the tricks in it? Obviously he has a quota, he has to say no, he has left the good things to his friends! Humph, I want to follow me in this set, no way! He counts Fart! Don't worry, when you encounter this kind of thing, go directly to their leader..."
"The leader is coming! Do you have anything to complain about..." Su Rui walked to the two of them and said with a sullen face, but couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Zi Yang and Lao Wang turned their heads abruptly and looked at Su Rui's incredible expressions, their eyes were about to fall out.
"You, you, you! What, how are you!!!"
"Me, me, me, what's wrong with me? I still want to ask, what are you two doing here?"
"I, let's take advantage of the summer vacation to work!" Lao Wang Yang said the recruitment enlightenment in his hand.
It turned out that Zi Yang and Lao Wang miraculously passed the final exam because they had done enough "preparatory work". They finally got rid of the title of "Prince of Make-up Exams". Both of them were relaxed and happy like never before.
But the good days will not last for a few days. They are about to face a problem and run out of money!
The money that A Chong gave will soon be spent. What about the expenses for the next semester? The money given by the family is only enough for them to pay tuition and basic living expenses, but considering Xiaohei’s expenses and renting costs, this money is not enough, and they can’t bear to ask the family for more money, so they still have to use the old man. The way to solve it, part-time job!
The little money earned from part-time work can only make up for a few holes in foreign debt. Moreover, this kind of work is too hard and earns too little money. Zi Yang couldn't hold it after two months of work.
Later, he found a job as a tutor, and Lao Wang also found a job as a training partner in the boxing gym.
Although the work is a lot easier, the money earned by tutoring and sparring is still not enough for their expenses. This kind of part-time job is separated from each other, sometimes not once a week, and the income is not stable enough.
When the two of them combined, there were two months of summer vacation, and they simply didn't go back. There was just enough time to find a stable and high-paying job to do him for two months and earn him a fortune.
In the past few days, the two people have been rushing around in the streets and alleys, and even went to a few labor intermediary companies, but these intermediary companies hidden in the corners of the corner are basically under the guise, and there is no good job introduction. Charge them an intermediary fee...
The two of them couldn't help but ran to the construction site to try their luck. Later, they realized that they had to go through the back door and plug their benefits when they were small workers.
When he was desperate, Pharaoh picked up a dirty recruitment revelation on the side of the road. He saw what kind of new coffee shop was recruiting waiters. The salary was high and there were bonuses, and the requirements were not high. First of all, college students. Secondly, the facial features must be correct... The words below are vaguely stepped on by a large footprint and can't be seen clearly.
Lao Wang saw here as if he had caught a life-saving straw. He felt that this job was in line with him. He dragged Zi Yang, and the two of them rode around the city halfway to the shore of the West Lake. They grabbed a staff member at the door to explain their intentions, but After being told that the recruitment has been stopped, the old Wang almost made the job advertisement Hu Na boy face...
Seeing Lao Wang spitting wildly with Su Rui, Zi Yang lowered his head and said nothing.
It wasn't that he couldn't put his mouth in, he didn't want to say-if there was a crack on the ground now, he could even get in.
He would rather Su Rui not see who he is now.
Zi Yang is extremely reluctant to meet Su Rui in this situation.
He has a deep sense of inferiority in his heart.
Compared with Su Rui, who was dressed in glamorous clothes, he seemed to have just been pulled out of the trash. After running around for a long time under the big sun, sweat stains on his wrinkled clothes, and his face is probably not much better.
Even worse, 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 watched the old Wang eloquently with a smile.
In fact, the careful Su Rui has noticed that Zi Yang's performance is somewhat abnormal, and he is still wondering: What happened again? The last time we met was obviously so enthusiastic, the two had just had the first close contact... This time we met like a stranger. Did you offend him somewhere
Su Rui, who lived well since childhood, did not realize the inferiority deep in Zi Yang's heart.
"Hey, Xiao Su, it will be easy if you are at work here too. Hurry up to find your leader and help us talk about it. Give our brother two chances. You know, brother, we have nothing else, just have strength. No matter what dirty work or tiring work, Zi Yang is even better. Do you know what he did to make money?..."
Pharaoh's explanation made Zi Yang even more ashamed-he didn't want to live anymore, and even wanted a fierce man to plunge into the nearby lake.
Although water is not good, drowning is better than standing here and being humiliated.
"Zi Yang, what's the matter with you?" Su Rui finally plucked up the courage to hold Zi Yang's hand.
It seemed a very natural movement, but Zi Yang hurriedly pulled out his hand from Su Rui's hand and hid behind him like a hot red soldering iron.
"No, nothing."
His hands were covered with sweat and stains, and he was afraid that Su Rui would get dirty, and he was afraid that Su Rui would dislike it.
Su Rui was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Zi Yang to reject herself so clearly, and her smiling expression became dimmed.
"...Ah, Su Rui, to be honest, hurry up and find a job with us. These days, Xiao Hei and I are going to be driven crazy by him. Every day, we will be driven out to work until late at night. I was only allowed to enter the house. Like Zhou Papi, I don’t have enough food. I and Xiao Hei must pray before going to bed. The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva hurriedly appeared to help us escape from the clutches of Lao Li..."
Lao Wang didn't seem to realize the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and he was still talking endlessly.
Su Rui smiled and said, "Have you eaten lunch? I invite you to dinner."
"Of course I didn't eat it! Just eat just a little bit, don't order too much..." Lao Wang didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and walked into the coffee shop.
In fact, they had already eaten a meal of boned vegetable rice, but Lao Wang was embarrassed to say that when he smelled the scent inside, his stomach had been protesting and calling the old for a long time-that was how unbelievable.
Seeing Zi Yang standing there without moving, Su Rui lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Aren't you going in?"
Zi Yang looked up at the sky, his eyes hurt by the sun, and he felt like tears.
Su Rui plucked up the courage and held Zi Yang's hand again.
"Let's go!"
This time, Zi Yang didn't avoid it anymore. Under the leadership of Su Rui, the two walked towards the coffee shop.
"Manager, you..."
A little girl in uniform saw Su Rui coming in and greeted him with a smile. In a blink of an eye, she saw Lao Wang and Zi Yang next to her. Suddenly, she was stunned. The dinner plate in her hand fell to the ground, and the cup and spoon splashed. Ground.
Lao Wang and Zi Yang were also stunned when they saw her.
