Chapter 821: 811. Can we have more exclamation marks?
Mrs. Zhao walked away arm in arm with Mr. Zhao, slow as a queen, while Boss Chang stood alone in the courtyard, thinking to himself that just after one al, a powerful competitor had erged!
God bless, I hope Lao Song’s family won’t expand for the next three years. He would rather limit his own supply than have soone else able to buy it.
However, to show his sincerity for a long-term cooperation, he still shared the news with Song Tan.
He called the driver again: “Have you all set off? Where are you? Be extrely careful on the road!”
Please be very careful bringing back tomorrow’s vegetables!
Tonight’s trial run ended particularly quickly; by less than 9 o’clock, everyone had left one after another, most with serious faces or frowns, hurrying off, much to the delight of the owner of Youran Ecology across the street!
See, what’s the use of spending so much money on renovations? The guests invited tonight, what luxurious places haven’t they been to?
Now, look how deserted the trial run was!
He wanted to laugh out loud, the aura around him was one of sheer joy. As he walked downstairs, he made a point to pass by the reception, nodding at the front desk which supposedly had an undercover sister:
“Not bad, keep up the good work!”
The front desk was quite happy, looking at his skinny face, they thought he looked like the God of Wealth holding a Gold Ingot, thus said enthusiastically:
“Boss, do you need
to keep gathering information?”
Who knew the boss’s expression would turn stern: “No need, business is business. Our current scale is all thanks to custor word of mouth, those nonsensical and inefficient tactics are unnecessary!”
After saying that, he walked away with an air of integrity.
The cashier at the front desk silently rolled her eyes, and then, seeing no one around, picked up her phone and typed away furiously:
[This boss is going to nickel-and-di himself to death! I was just about to ask how your evening was, and we could have made another 2000 bucks. But the boss gave
a lecture, despising our thods as inferior.]
[Pfft! You went undercover for my sake, and all the boss gave was a asly 2000, screw him!]
The more she thought about it, the angrier she beca; maybe she’ll switch jobs to the place across the street.
When she first interviewed, she chose this side because there were more custors, thinking she might earn a higher salary and bonuses despite being busier.
But she didn’t expect the boss to be a real tightwad; with so many custors, instead of finishing work at 9 like other hotels, she often had to work overti until 10.
And when hosting the annual eting and giving out red packets, the boss personally handed out a two-dollar lottery ticket to everyone, saying everyone had a chance to win 5 million…
Damn it!
And that chef surnad Bai in the kitchen, in charge of making als for the staff, managed to make everything taste awful.
These chefs had enough self-awareness to skip the restaurant and cook separately in the kitchen!
Everyone had been grumbling about it for a long ti!
The more the front desk thought about it, the more upset she got, and checking her phone, she couldn’t help but rapidly type again:
[??? Are you that busy? Why haven’t you replied to my ssages yet? Are you working overti tonight?]
After a while, a picture was sent from the other side. She opened it to find a sparkling clean stainless steel dining plate.
[???] At this mont, she felt out of sync with her sister.
After a bit, the response finally ca languidly:
[See? For supper tonight, I ate three plates!]
[Ahhh, so delicious I could chop off my feet!!!]
[Sis, you’re really missing out by not coming here! It’s really delicious! Sooo delicious, wuwuwu, I wanted to secretly bring you a Stuffed Green Pepper, but guess our sisterly bond wasn’t strong enough…]
“[Besties, don’t worry, I’ll be putting on two extra pounds tonight!]
Little Receptionist doesn’t get it! Little Receptionist is speechless!
[Are you a pig? You’re having three plates for your midnight snack?! Last week when I was crazily craving hot and spicy soup in the middle of the night and dragged you out, what did you tell ?!]
[Just one chili pepper?! One?!]
[…]”
ssages quickly ca from the other side:
[What’s wrong with just one?! Our chili peppers cost 368 each, and you only get 8 in a serving! They’re like fifty a pop!]
[Besides, I only snagged two, you’ve never tried them, you don’t understand. Going through all that struggle, it’s a testant to our deep friendship!]
[Hahahaha, sob sob sob sob]
[Tonight is truly blissful! Two tables canceled, and the food prepared for them was all left for us…]
[But tomorrow there will surely be no such luck; even if my legs were broken, I’d have to crawl over for the al… Bestie, don’t be scared, I secretly scooped a rice ball from the bottom of the bowl for you]
[Once you eat it, you’ll know how painful it is to talk about resigning only tomorrow morning]
[Hurry, hurry, the boss is preparing to hire! It’s a rare opportunity!!!]
Little Receptionist finished checking out a custor and handing out a gift, turned her head, and saw such a barrage of ssages on her phone, she couldn’t help but be shocked—
She couldn’t see the rarity of the opportunity, but it was crystal clear her sister was going crazy! Who would care about that rice ball anyway!
…
anwhile, at this mont, the boss of Youran Base, content and satisfied as he watched the dimming lights and the staff leaving the office in small groups, sat in his chair and took a long sigh of relief!
Bla it on his age, he just couldn’t keep calm. Ever since they planned to open, he’d been on edge, but now, at last, he could relax.
No, not yet!
In business, one must be ticulous, can’t celebrate too soon—he might not be seeing the true picture, he needs to find soone to ask around!
The previous 10,000 yuan nu he acquired was useless, the boss decided not to be a sucker anymore and directly picked up his phone instead, dialing a regular custor who also often ate at his place.
“Hello?” The call connected, but the voice was of a young child.
The boss paused, then asked:
“Is this Mr. Chen?”
The person on the other end hesitated, then said brashly: “You’re looking for my dad, huh? He’s busy right now, can’t take care of your call for a while.”
The kid was young, and the boss, sensing an opportunity, softened his tone and cajoled:
“So, what’s your dad doing now? I was hoping to ask how the food was tonight. It wasn’t convenient to greet him earlier.”
His ambiguous wording caused the child to misunderstand imdiately, energetically saying:
“Wow! So it was your place that had the opening?! Was the food really that good? Can you send
an invite next ti? I want to try it too, and so do my grandparents.”
The boss felt a pang in his chest.
Before he could figure it out, he heard the kid laugh again:
“When you send gifts next ti, can you add more exclamation marks to hint that it’s good stuff and not to throw them away?”
My dad has been so regretful since returning from the restaurant; he’s now secretly digging through the garbage—Dad? Dad, why did you end up like this? You’re really digging through the rubbish—”
The call ended abruptly.
