Wen Qiao listened to the chaotic noise inside. It wasn't mealtime yet; it was the time for cleaning and food preparation.
Wen Qiao walked into the restaurant and saw her mother arguing with an older woman.
"Mom, what happened?"
Lu Yazhi glanced at Wen Qiao and said softly, "It's nothing. You're just bringing your mood to work."
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement but didn't say anything, after all, this was her mother's restaurant.
Lu Yazhi looked at Wang Yuling and said, "I'll give you a chance this time since you broke things. If you want to do it, do it. If not, just leave. I won't withhold your salary. I'll give you everything you're owed."
An older woman who worked with Wang Yuling immediately offered her some words of advice.
"Comrade Lü has already given you a chance, so you should know when to stop and not cause any trouble."
Wang Yuling was reluctantly dragged away by the older woman.
Lü Yazhi sighed softly.
Then he walked outside with Wen Qiao and said:
“The canteen used to be in bad business, and everyone was just lazing around and getting by, earning 35 yuan a month. I raised it to 50 yuan a month, but they still don’t want to. They say business is good, there are a lot of people, and they’re too busy.”
Wen Qiao said, "Before, there were fewer people in the cafeteria, so they weren't busy and naturally got used to it. Now that you've taken over, business has picked up, and they're much busier than before. But they don't care how much you've increased their wages. With the previous situation in mind, they're bound to feel resentful."
"If it doesn't work, let's find someone else."
Lu Yazhi hesitated and said:
"Can we really replace them? Wouldn't that offend people? Besides, they're all so old. If we replace them, they'll lose their jobs. When we first took over the canteen, we didn't need that many people. Business has only just started to pick up. If I replace them now, won't it make me, as the manager, seem heartless?"
Wen Qiao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's hire two young waiters first, pay them forty yuan. If they do a good job, for example, the monthly service champion will get a reward of twenty yuan for first place, ten yuan for second place, and six yuan for third place."
Lu Yazhi had told Wen Qiao about her monthly sales figures.
Actually, waiters' wages aren't very high. Wages in other industries have increased considerably. For example, it's normal for computer industry workers to earn three to five hundred yuan a month.
The restaurant's revenue is what it is; hiring a couple more waiters would be enough to cover their salaries.
Although Lü Yazhi had the idea of opening a restaurant to make money, and she could cook a few dishes herself, and even had recipes left by her father when he was a royal chef, she didn't know anything about management.
Hearing Wen Qiao's words, Lü Yazhi said, "Then I'll try it as you suggested?"
"Sure, Mom, don't worry. Your restaurant is doing so well, you might be able to open a second one soon. Then the staff here can be transferred to other restaurants, so you don't have to worry about spending more money."
There are currently three middle-aged women and one middle-aged man in the restaurant, plus Lü Yazhi, making a total of five people. If we were to hire two more young people, it would be perfectly feasible.
Just after saying these words to her mother, Wen Qiao heard Xiao Sanbao calling for his big brother from outside the door.
Just then, Wen Qiao and Lü Yazhi were standing at the doorway when Huo Yan, dressed in a blue and white tracksuit, walked towards them.
This kid has the energy and vitality of youth.
Wen Qiao liked Huo Yan, and she liked his youthful energy.
"Ayan, you came pretty quickly."
Huo Yan chuckled, and Wen Qiao then noticed that there was a boy about the same age as Huo Yan next to him.
"Sister Wenqiao, this is my classmate. He came to visit me today and came along when he knew I was going out. I don't know if he'll bother you."
Wen Qiao immediately said, "Don't talk about disturbing us, today is just a gathering for the kids."
"It just so happens that I also have a new little kid here, who came to my house to play with the triplets."
Huo Yan immediately asked seriously, "Are you here to see Sanbao as well?"
