For this reason, Guo Fengsheng also asked Xu Qingyi to transfer two experienced people from Muye City.
As for the store managers, the two people Guo Fengsheng chose were quite interesting; they were a husband-and-wife team.
Both of them had experience running restaurants in Shanghai. They had previously run a small restaurant as a husband and wife team, but they couldn't make any money, so they decided to work for others.
Lin Yifeng had met these two people before; they were nothing special, just ordinary, but that was enough.
In the service industry, whether you can manage a store well depends on experience and interpersonal skills, and whether you can manage the emotions of each employee.
The husbands both seem to be the kind of people who are usually approachable, while the wives are more assertive and seem to be mainly responsible for playing the "good cop" while the husbands play the "bad cop."
Lin Yifeng felt he could trust these two to get things done.
As for food delivery, it's even simpler; as long as you're familiar with Shanghai, you can get around to it.
Compared to food delivery services in later generations, there is no navigation in this era, nor is it possible to slowly flip through maps. People with experience as taxi drivers have all been recruited.
In the end, Guo Fengsheng recruited a total of twenty people. After deducting the store staff, the remaining seven people were mainly responsible for the takeout service.
With the final recruitment concluded, Lin Cuilan's work also came to an end.
The recruitment of eight people was completed. In addition to Su Xi, whom Lin Yifeng had met, there were two others who had been recruited by Lin Cuilan before. Both of them were the lively type.
Of the remaining five people, Susie is slightly less experienced in traditional arts, but she is skilled in playing musical instruments and folk dances.
As dance students of this era, they are also particularly tall.
After confirming the time, Lin Yifeng also informed the eight of them to go to Suzhou with him to have Rong Enniang alter a suitable cheongsam.
Upon hearing that such a good thing was happening, the eight girls thanked Lin Yifeng profusely.
Two days later, Lin Yifeng stood outside Rong Enniang's shop.
Lin Yifeng's presence, leading eight women alone, drew curious glances from many tourists in the vicinity.
Even Rong En's mother, who came to greet them, laughed and teased them.
"Oh, if I didn't know, I would have thought some gentleman was traveling incognito."
"She brought an entire harem."
Lin Yifeng glanced around. All of his employees from Suxiuxuan were outstanding in appearance, and they were all considered beauties in the crowd.
As he stood at Rong Enniang's door, many men around him cast resentful glances at him.
"That's an exaggeration, Master Su."
"These are all my employees."
"You're being ridiculous."
The eight women covered their mouths and chuckled; it was the first time they had ever seen Lin Yifeng so embarrassed.
Upon entering the room, they were all amazed by the various Suzhou embroidery pieces, ranging from the simplest landscape paintings to flowers, birds, and insects. In particular, the exquisitely designed cheongsams hanging on the surrounding walls left them speechless.
What catches the eye most is the plaque in the center of the store, which is sewn with embroidery and has the words "Suzhou Embroidery" written on it. The signature is also from Rong Enniang.
Since collaborating with Lin Yifeng, Rong Enniang has completely become Lin Yifeng's employee.
Lin Yifeng originally hoped to have a cooperative relationship with Rong Enniang, but Rong Enniang refused no matter what. She kept saying that she was just a craftswoman and could not be on equal footing with Lin Yifeng.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Lin Yifeng had no choice but to agree simply, but the profit sharing would still be based on the partnership model.
After working with Lin Yifeng, Rong En's mother couldn't stop smiling.
Normally, when she sells cheongsams here, her reputation isn't as good as Li Jinlan's imperial Suzhou embroidery. But since the collaboration, Rong Enniang no longer needs to worry about making a living.
By supplying goods to Lin Yifeng, he could basically sell one item for every one he produced.
Moreover, her reputation in other places is getting better and better, especially among tourists from Zhongzhou Province, who can recognize her shop at a glance.
For this reason, Rong Enniang recruited some of her former apprentices to help process the cheongsams, and then Rong Enniang herself refined them.
Rong Enniang is already sixty years old, yet she's already looking forward to the future. She's certain that within a few years she'll be able to overthrow Li Jinlan and become the most famous Suzhou embroidery artist in Suzhou.
After everything was arranged, Lin Yifeng asked the group to go to Rong En's mother to take their measurements.
Of course, Lin Yifeng couldn't tailor-make cheongsams for them. The main thing was to let them choose a few styles they liked and have Rong En's mother help with alterations.
Each person has three cheongsams: two for everyday wear in the shop, and one uniformly red one for special occasions such as the Spring Festival.
Soon, all eight women found their favorite styles, went upstairs one by one to change, and then showed them to Lin Yifeng.
"Boss, what do you think of this one?"
"Boss! Boss! Look at mine!"
"Boss! Which one looks better, the purple one or the black one?"
As the only male in the store, Lin Yifeng was clearly the only one who could comment on the other people's clothing.
Everyone was overjoyed to receive two cheongsams, and they danced around the store with excitement.
Rong Enniang smiled kindly as she looked at the girls who were so energetic.
"They all look good, they all look good."
"Auntie's skills are excellent; you all look good in whatever you wear."
"Auntie will make you look even better in a moment!"
The eight women excitedly surrounded Rong En's mother, shouting in unison.
