Two weeks later.

Su Yinwan's dessert shop on University Road is finally ready. Everything has been moved in, and the staff has been mostly recruited.

Su Yinwan originally planned to open the business as soon as everything was ready, but Rong's mother said that the opening should be on an auspicious day for good luck, so Su Yinwan had no choice but to give up.

The opening date is set for three days from now.

These past few days, Su Yinwan's phone has been ringing non-stop, and every time she opens it, it's filled with messages congratulating her on opening her shop.

This was all thanks to her best friend Yunhe.

Yunhe promoted her directly in alumni groups and on WeChat Moments, sending a message every day, saying that everyone who had time should come and support her.

The group chat was flooded with well wishes, quickly reaching 99+ messages.

Yunhe quickly took a screenshot to show off her success, and Su Yinwan smiled and sent her a large red envelope.

at this time.

Su Yinwan stood outside the shop, looking at the shop name hanging high, her eyes smiling.

She racked her brains for a week before coming up with this idea.

【Smile Cake Coffee】

She thought of her original intention in opening the dessert shop: to heal others with desserts, to make all troubles go away, and to let smiles and happiness come unbidden.

Perhaps some of the happiness in this world comes from the warmth of strangers.

May everyone encounter this warmth during times of difficulty.

For work clothes, Su Yinwan didn't want anything too complicated, so she had a khaki checkered apron custom-made.

This morning, the training was almost finished.

At that moment, all the employees happened to be in the store.

Su Yinwan gathered them to clean the store.

Looking at the people bustling about inside and out, Su Yinwan truly realized that her dream was coming true.

Another big step forward in life.

She was happy and joyful.

"Xiao Liang, this box is fragile, be careful."

"Sister Yun, where would be a good place to put these baking tools?"

"Sister Li, let me do it. This wooden cabinet is quite tall, so it's inconvenient for you to wipe it."

"Sakura, help me lift this table down."

"Zhaodi, come and help me out."

......

Everyone has their own tasks to complete, and everyone is taking their job seriously.

Su Yinwan looked on with great satisfaction, and she looked forward to the future of the dessert shop.

My thoughts drifted back to the scene of my job interview.

Li Jie, 30 years old, has been a full-time mother for 8 years, and her child is in the second grade at a nearby primary school.

For Sister Li, the most convenient thing is that she can go straight to work after dropping her child off at school.

Sister Li is gentle and considerate, and meticulous and reliable in her work.

After getting married, Sister Li's husband made her quit her job to be a full-time housewife. Later, after the child was born, she became a full-time mother.

The thought that my life after marriage would be spent constantly revolving around my husband and children makes me feel uneasy.

She felt indebted to herself.

Over the years, the days of begging for money with her palm facing upwards have not only robbed her of her self-respect but also caused her a lot of grievances.

Watching myself, who should have been striving in the workplace, slowly turn into a housewife running between the vegetable market and the kitchen.

Everyone else is enjoying life to the fullest, while my life is just filled with mundane chores like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Sister Li often wonders if this is the life she wants to live.

She no longer wanted to beg for money from her husband, nor did she want to see herself become a haggard, worn-out woman.

She wants to work hard to earn money and live more for herself.

So she decided to go out and find a job to achieve financial freedom.

However.

Having been out of the workforce for so many years, Sister Li initially encountered numerous setbacks when looking for a job.

They either disliked her for lacking work experience or for lacking education.

Fortunately, when Sister Li was about to give up due to setbacks, she saw the recruitment information posted online by Su Yinwan.

Although Sister Li has been a housewife for so many years, she has also developed a lot of skills.

She can cook delicious meals, maintain the cleanest hygiene, and do delicate handicrafts, among other things.

During the training, although Sister Li had never made very delicate desserts and drinks, she was very quick to learn and willing to work hard, so she quickly got the hang of it.

Sakura, 26, is one of the unemployed.

She has a cheerful and lively personality, but her downside is that she is too talkative.

Sakura dropped out of junior high school and started working because her family wanted her to earn money to support the family as soon as possible.

Because she lacked a good education and background, Xiaoying could only work in a factory, where she worked for a full 13 years.

Unfortunately, due to the sluggish economy and poor factory performance, it went bankrupt at the beginning of the year.

Sakura only knows how to work in this factory and hasn't seriously learned any other skills.

The sudden unemployment caught her off guard.

Her family was urging her to find a job, and her savings were almost gone. With no other choice, Xiaoying had to apply for a job at the dessert shop.

During the training, Su Yinwan discovered that Xiaoying had exceptional hands-on skills and many wonderful ideas.

She always manages to make oddly shaped desserts that are anything but monotonous and are very unique.

Sister Yun, 34 years old, is considered the most capable employee in the store.

She originally ran a bakery in her hometown, but came to Chengdu for her children's education.

Sister Yun can not only make traditional pastries, but also new trendy desserts.

She was in charge of this training, providing guidance and training to the new recruits throughout the process.

Outgoing and down-to-earth, patient and understanding.

25-year-old Xiao Liang has multiple jobs. In addition to working at a dessert shop during the day, he also drives for Didi (a ride-hailing service) at night.

Xiao Liang has a girlfriend he's been dating for over two years, and Su Yinwan learned that the two will get married early next year.

To give the girl a better life, he worked tirelessly to earn and save money.

Xiao Liang is the youngest among the full-time employees, but he is very mature and a very responsible young man.

She is slightly shy, but decisive and efficient in her work.

During the training, whenever there was a task in the store that required moving heavy objects, Xiao Liang would voluntarily step forward to help before anyone even had to call him.

Xiao Liang also has an excellent memory, able to remember the beverage recipes, and he's also very strong, so Su Yinwan let him stay at the water bar to make drinks and coffee.

In addition, the employees currently hired on an hourly basis are all students from Morley University.

Xu Zhaodi was the first to sign up.

After that day, Xu Zhaodi went to the bar to return her uniform and told her supervisor she was leaving. Fortunately, the supervisor paid her a whole month's wages.

She happily shared the good news with Su Yinwan on WeChat, and also told her that she was going to work at a dessert shop.

Su Yinwan readily agreed.

Xiaobai and Xiaxia are two freshmen who are roommates and also have a penchant for food.

The couple's families are considered well-off; they are neither short of money nor poor.

I came to work at the dessert shop purely to experience life.

Fortunately, the two had good personalities and were quite proactive, so after careful consideration, Su Yinwan decided to keep them.

There are still two positions available.

Su Yinwan wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently.

At worst, when there are many customers, everyone will work a little harder.
