Chapter 420 Manager Zhu's PUA of Employees
As usual, the restaurant received another reservation.
Zhu Chengye, as the manager, personally talked with the person who placed the order, preparing to try out the delivery service.
Almost all the people who order food are not the host family members, but their servants.
Some places only specify the location, while others specify the dishes.
The people who came today were a moderately successful and wealthy family in the town, and the time for serving the dishes was clearly stated.
After talking with his servants, Zhu Chengye learned that the host family was celebrating their three-year-old child's birthday.
The family of three ordered four dishes and a dessert.
Zhu Chengye spoke with his attendants for a while, using the weather as an excuse to delay the trip, and finally managed to get rid of the food delivery.
The servant was pleased to hear this and thought it was feasible. He then added ten coins to the errand fee and agreed.
For wealthy families, ten coins were worthless.
For ten coins, you can avoid making a trip. Who would care about such a small amount of money?
Upon hearing that Zhu Chengye had accepted a food delivery order, Wan Qiqi immediately headed to the kitchen. She wanted to figure out how to pack the food into food containers so that it wouldn't get cold during the journey.
Zhu Chengye glanced around at the waiters on the first floor, but didn't see Sixi, so he went up to the second floor.
Xiao Liuzi was talking to Sixi about ordering food when they saw Zhu Chengye arrive, and the two of them immediately greeted him.
"Good job, Manager Zhu!" the two said in unison.
Zhu Chengye nodded. "Xiao Liu, go downstairs and greet the guests. I have something to say to Sixi."
He spoke so formally that it made people a little uneasy.
But Xiao Liuzi always listened to Zhu Chengye. After hearing the order, he turned and left, leaving Sixi alone, feeling a little flustered.
Because of the reservation, Si Xi's wages had already been deducted by Wan Qiqi, and now that Zhu Chengye was coming over, she was a little flustered.
During her time at the restaurant, although she didn't make any significant contributions, she did her job well.
Even when she was tired and wanted to slack off, she was still very careful.
As Zhu Chengye approached, she recalled almost everything the restaurant had done. Apart from concealing her gender, she hadn't done anything detrimental to the restaurant.
After some encouragement, she straightened her back and was no longer afraid.
Zhu Chengye looked Sixi up and down, feeling that she was still too thin and weak, but he trusted Wan Qiqi's judgment. He slowly asked, "Have you heard about the restaurant's plan to deliver food?"
Si Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Just now, Xiao Liuzi mentioned it to her.
“We mean to select people from among the waiters to deliver food,” Zhu Chengye said, pausing to observe Si Xi’s reaction.
Si Xi was a little confused. What did this have to do with him?
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she guessed what was going on. She tentatively asked, "Manager Zhu, do you want me to deliver the food?"
“Yes, Manager Wan also recommended you to go,” Zhu Chengye replied.
Si Xi's lips twitched, and he mentally complained.
You want me to go? Are you kidding me?
The food container is so heavy. If I deliver it there and come back, I'll be half dead.
What if something goes wrong along the way? Wouldn't I lose all my wages?
No way! No way! I'm not doing this thankless and arduous task.
Si Xi opened her eyes wide and cautiously asked, "Manager Zhu, is it definitely me? It can't be anyone else?"
Zhu Chengye could see her reluctance, but he didn't pressure her. He smiled and said, "Manager Wan recommended you because he values you, thinks you're good, and trusts you. Otherwise, why wouldn't he send someone else?"
Whether Wan Qiqi trusts Si Xi or not, Si Xi knows that Wan Qiqi has some dirt on her.
If you go against someone, you might get kicked out of the restaurant!
All things considered, it seems that some of the gains outweigh the losses.
Zhu Chengye could also see that Sixi was somewhat reluctant, and said in a low voice, "Sixi, think about it, this is the first one. Others want to do this job, but Manager Wan won't give it to you. He specifically asked you to do it."
"Really?" Sixi was somewhat skeptical.
Although Wan Qiqi transferred her to the second floor and served better guests than those on the first floor, it didn't mean that Wan Qiqi truly valued her!
"Think about it, Tie Niu and Er Pang are from the same village as Manager Wan, and she didn't even want them to go. It's clear that in her eyes, you're more capable than them..."
If Wan Qiqi were here, she would really suspect that Zhu Chengye was manipulating Sixi.
But as a restaurant owner, it is his duty to learn how to win people's hearts and make his employees feel at ease working in the restaurant.
Si Xi was gradually swayed by Zhu Chengye's praise, but still cautiously said, "Manager Zhu, what you say is good, but look at my physique and strength, it will take me some time to make a round trip, and if I don't do my job well, my wages will be deducted..."
Zhu Chengye looked Sixi up and down, seemingly persuaded by her reasoning. He sighed and said, "Well, you're right. I'll go talk to Manager Zhu and ask him to replace her."
As he spoke, he took a step outside, muttering to himself, "I was hoping to get paid for delivering food, but it's really tough on these skinny arms and legs..."
Si Xi didn't hear the other two words clearly, but she heard the word "wages".
I initially thought this was a thankless and arduous task, but if there was extra money involved, then it was a different story.
Grandma is sick and needs a lot of money. If I could earn more money, life would be easier.
Thinking of this, Sixi immediately chased after him and said, "Manager Zhu, it's not that it's impossible, it's just that I might be a little slow in delivering it. I'm afraid that if I'm not at the restaurant for a long time, people will gossip about it."
Zhu Chengye gave a sly smile and said, "As for the time, we'll see how it goes. Don't rush back. In a few days, once the food delivery service is perfected, everyone will know about it and be envious of you!"
Only after hearing Zhu Chengye's words did Si Xi feel at ease and agree.
