Chapter 58
"Hello, please have some tea." Liu Xueruo pushed the wheelchair over and handed the tea to the woman sitting by the window.
This was the first time that someone came to the hotel to apply for a job, and the employees all took the reception very seriously.
After hearing that she was a masseuse, the way I looked at her changed.
Professional matching talents!
Nowadays, from top to bottom, except for Gu Xiao who has experience in front desk reception, the rest of the hotel is basically a group of makeshift staff. Even the boss Shu Mo was pulled over by the system because of a coincidental death. Fortunately, there was a system support, which saved her a lot of trouble.
It was so hard to meet such a professional who was close to the hot spring, and everyone had the same idea: they must try their best to keep her!
Otherwise, something like massage is really not something that an amateur can do, and it is difficult to find places for training in the end times, so hotels will have no chance to open massage parlors.
"Thank you, thank you. You're so kind."
Yue Wenjun also felt this special enthusiasm. Although she was puzzled, she quickly stood up and took the tea.
After taking a sip, the light fragrance of jasmine filled her lips and teeth. The nervousness of the job application eased a little, and a comfortable smile appeared on her face.
Liu Xueruo didn't rush to leave. She looked at the woman in front of her curiously.
Yue Wenjun had been working as a professional masseur for a long time before playing the game. Now, ten years have passed, and he is middle-aged, but he looks very energetic. After arriving at the hot spring and taking off his winter clothes, his bulging muscles were revealed under his underwear.
Noticing Liu Xueruo's gaze, Yue Wenjun explained: "The profession I drew is Fighter."
No wonder.
After playing the same profession for ten years, it is inevitable that you will acquire some professional characteristics. Assassins, for example, are mostly lean and move like ghosts, while fighters have to engage in close combat with monsters, so naturally their muscle mass is different from that of ordinary people.
At this time, Gu Xiao brought Shu Mo over and introduced Yue Wenjun as "Ms. Yue, this is our boss."
"Boss, she is the job applicant."
Yue Wenjun stood up quickly, straightened his clothes, and extended his hand, "Hello."
Shu Mo also reached out and shook hands with her, and felt that the other person's hand was obviously much stronger than hers.
The two introduced themselves, and Shu Mo went straight to the point, "Ms. Yue, I have heard about your previous career - the hotel does need a massage talent, but before we formally discuss issues such as salary, can you let me examine your massage skills first?"
As for the inspection method, it is naturally personal experience -
Shu Mo spoke righteously, but Gu Xiao and Liu Xueruo glanced at the boss secretly, and felt that her true thoughts were almost written on her face.
Yue Wenjun agreed without thinking, "Of course. Do you have a suitable place here?"
"Come with me."
Shu Mo took her directly to the lounge on the first floor.
After talking with the employees that day, she added a single bed there, and now she only needs to use gloves to move the bed to the center of the room and use it as a massage bed.
Yue Wenjun asked Shu Mo to lie down. Due to limited time, she only pressed the shoulder and neck areas that Shu Mo requested. Her technique was experienced and her strength was moderate. Shu Mo completely relaxed under her hands and felt so comfortable that he was a little drowsy.
During the process, she heard Yue Wenjun say with some surprise: "You must have rested well recently, your muscles are relaxed, and your physical condition is also very good."
After hearing this, Shu Mo recalled it carefully and found that recently he did not feel the heavy feeling all over his body or the crackling sound in his joints when he moved slightly, which he often did in the past.
In the past, whenever she worked at her desk for a long time, her shoulders and neck would become extremely stiff, and she could only rely on massage to relieve the pain. She went there so many times that the masters all knew her. Every time I pressed her, I would say earnestly, "You are so young, why are you so stiff? You should take a break and combine work and rest."
Shu Mo just lay there, howling in pain and waving his hands.
This was the first time that a masseuse actually said that she was in good health, which made Shu Mo dazed for a few seconds.
Just to tell you a joke, after entering the doomsday game, my daily routine has become more regular than when I was working.
There is a fixed dark time in the game, so no matter how bad the players are, they can at least get eight hours of sleep.
It's a hellish joke that makes office workers cry.
"It should be because of the hot springs." After coming back to her senses, she grinned and said, "The hot springs in the hotel have a relaxing effect on the body and mind. After taking a bath, the quality of sleep will also be significantly improved. You will know it after staying here for a long time...hiss..."
Shu Mo gasped.
Although it’s not as sore as before, it’s still very comfortable when I relax certain parts of my body.
After it was over, she got up and moved around a bit, feeling refreshed and light all over.
If there was such a talented person in the hotel, who could give him a full body massage every few days, Shu Mo couldn't imagine how happy he would be.
She immediately made the decision, "Ms. Yue, let's discuss the salary and benefits."
Yue Wenjun, who was waiting anxiously, showed a happy expression, "Okay!"
"There's just one thing I need to make clear in advance. There's no massage parlor in the hotel right now, and there may not be one in the short term..." Shu Mo paused. Just now, when she was lying down, she had already thought about how to arrange Yue Wenjun. "But later, I will add a massage service to the guest room panel, and let guests pay and order it. I wonder if you can accept this way of working?"
"Sure! I accept any arrangement." Yue Wenjun said cheerfully, "But there is one problem..."
"you say."
Yue Wenjun looked at her carefully. "I just heard the girl at the front desk say that the hotel has employee meals and free dormitories. Is that true?"
Shu Mo: “…”
It seems like this is another person who comes here for the free food and accommodation.
She nodded, "Yes, I can take you to see the dormitory environment later."
"That's great!" Yue Wenjun was overjoyed.
The two discussed the salary issue again and decided to follow the average standard for hotel employees, with a basic daily salary of 50 points and a probation period of one week. Later, as the hotel develops, there will be opportunities for promotion and additional bonuses.
The conditions proposed by Shu Mo were better than the last. Yue Wenjun naturally accepted them all and nodded repeatedly.
After finishing the discussion efficiently, the two shook hands again, and Shu Mo smiled: "Then I would like to formally congratulate you on coming to Nuannuan Hot Spring."
【Player "Yue Wenjun" has become your employee! 】
【Salary: 50 points/day, paid daily. 】
The employee recruitment notice had appeared many times before when Mo Bai, Gu Xiao and others were hired. Shu Mo didn't take it seriously. He glanced at it quickly and was about to close the pop-up window, but at the last moment, his eyes suddenly fixed on a new line of text that appeared immediately afterwards.
[Check that you have recruited [Massage] professionals, and the series of related buildings have been unlocked! 】
【The mall has been updated.】 】
Shu Mo: “???”
She motioned to Yue Wenjun to wait a moment and quickly opened the business mall.
Sure enough, at the top there appeared a row of buildings marked "New".
What are the basic [small, medium, and large massage rooms], [Chinese massage rooms], [Thai massage rooms], [foot massage rooms], etc.
Click on the building details, and you will see an extra line of description at the end compared to ordinary buildings.
[Unlocking conditions: Recruit at least one person with the [Massage] professional skill (already satisfied)]
Shu Mo: “?” There is such a tricky request! Didn't you explain this in advance?
Even if you just put a list of gray buildings to remind yourself to find someone according to the requirements, it would be fine.
If she hadn't wanted to use her power as a boss to keep a private masseur for herself and accidentally kept Yue Wenjun, she would probably have missed these buildings.
Shu Mo gnashed his teeth in anger, secretly cursing the system in his heart, looking at Yue Wenjun, touching his nose, "Well... the plan has changed, we may be able to build a massage parlor."
Yue Wenjun: “?”
…
The arrival of new employees brought many changes. Shu Mo asked Yue Wenjun to wait in the restaurant for a while and get some tea and snacks from downstairs to fill her stomach. He then went to the villa to build the massage room.
The massage room is placed in the corridor between coming out of the hot spring area and returning to the locker room. After leaving the hot spring area, guests can dry their bodies, take out the short bathrobe and disposable underwear provided by the hotel at the door, and then enjoy a massage here.
The room is lit with soothing incense, and once you enter, you can feel the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The massage room is divided into two areas - the outer side is the waiting area with two rows of benches for players to rest, and the inner side is the massage area with four massage beds arranged in twos, separated from the waiting area by a screen, fully ensuring the privacy of the guests.
After it was built, Shu Mo looked at the four massage beds and felt that the current manpower was definitely not enough.
Such specialized services are almost entirely manual, and there is little the game system can do to help. Given the scale of the new hot spring, one massage room would require at least four masseurs. As a result, customers are expected to line up in long queues.
This is just the second floor.
The men's area on the first floor also needs to be equipped with a sauna and massage room, which can accommodate eight people, and there are also requirements for the gender of the employees.
Shu Mo had a headache.
Where can she find so many professionals?
In desperation, Shu Mo ran back to find Yue Wenjun.
"...You said you need more masseuses?"
Yue Wenjun put down the teacup in his hand and was stunned.
"Yes." Shu Mo looked at her hopefully, "Do you have any suitable people you can contact?"
Yue Wenjun thought about it, and his eyes slowly lit up. "Yes, when the game first came out, I was taking a few students to take the exam. Some of them lived in Guangming Town. I can try to contact them. I should be able to find at least three people."
In the doomsday game, becoming a high-level player is barely considered to have made it, and this group only accounts for a very small minority of all players. Most people live in poverty. Yue Wenjun is very happy to have such an opportunity to help them.
But she hesitated again. "However, they were still in the learning stage at the beginning. I don't know if they have continued to practice in the past ten years. I can't say how good their skills are now. I can bring them here first and let you take a look at their level. If you think they are suitable, you can keep them."
"No problem." Shu Mo agreed readily.
Yue Wenjun was very proactive. He took the Arctic Fox bus back to the town that afternoon. He visited several schools in one night and brought all the interested students with him the next day.
There were four people in total, two women and two men, all younger than Yue Wenjun, but their average age was around 30 years old.
Standing in front of Shu Mo, he seemed very embarrassed.
This is the big boss of the hot spring!
The fact that she can own such a hot spring in the doomsday is enough to prove her strength. Does age still matter?
When Yue Wenjun approached them yesterday, the first thing he said was, "Now there is a great opportunity, it depends on whether you can seize it."
She explained in detail the benefits of the hot springs and helped them review their previous knowledge. After staying up all night, they nervously boarded the Arctic Fox bus.
Before getting off the car, Yue Wenjun emphasized again that when facing the boss, one must pay attention to one's attitude and try to leave a good impression.
After being taught so carefully by their master, the four of them held their breath, raised their heads, and straightened their backs, wishing to show their best side to Shu Mo.
Shu Mo looked at them, as if he saw himself interviewing everywhere a few months ago, and couldn't help but smile, "Don't be so nervous."
Although their skills must have become rusty after ten years, these people were once professional apprentices after all, which is better than just pulling an ordinary person from the street.
There is a shortage of manpower now, and if possible, Shu Mo wants to keep them all.
At worst, I can ask Yue Wenjun for help and train me for a while before starting work.
But before that, we still need to do some testing to confirm that they really have the foundation.
Shu Mo took a few people to the newly built massage room on the first floor of the villa, and called Liu Yan and Mo Bai, and arranged for the two to lie there to serve as test subjects.
"Come in groups of two, two people each."
At her signal, the first group of two masseurs, one male and one female, immediately stepped forward with tense expressions and followed the procedure, starting with simple communication with the customers and proceeding step by step.
Yue Wenjun stood nearby, occasionally explaining a few words to Shu Mo, who was a layman.
The female masseuse on Liu Yan's side went very smoothly. After asking Liu Yan if she felt any discomfort anywhere, she helped her relax her waist and back. While massaging, she also whispered to her how to adjust the strength. Judging from Liu Yan's expression, the massage must have been quite comfortable.
As for the male masseur on Mo Bai's side, he was in a miserable situation.
He didn't communicate very smoothly at the beginning and asked Mo Bai if he felt unwell anywhere. Mo Bai frowned and thought for a moment, and almost said the right wing, but he saw Shu Mo out of the corner of his eye and changed his mind.
"Right...arm."
"Arm?" This answer was not very conventional. The male masseur hesitated and said, "Is it twisted?"
Mo Bai said vaguely: "About the same."
After a pause, he added the description of the problem, "It's not serious, just a little uncomfortable."
"Then let me press it for you a little bit..."
The masseur did not dare to use too much force, so he gently massaged a little at a time, while asking, "Is this force okay?"
Mo Bai lay straight and motionless. When he answered, his tone was still indifferent, but because his head was covered with his hands, it became a little muffled. "I don't feel anything."
"No feeling?" The male masseur carefully increased his strength, "How about this?"
“…I still don’t feel anything.”
"Ah?" He added, "Then what about this?"
"No."
"????"
The male masseur was about to cry, "You don't feel anything?"
This is not just twisted, it's broken! !
Massage can no longer solve your problem, why don’t you go to the hospital immediately? No, go buy some medicine! !
He looked at the arm in his hand. If he hadn't been able to feel a little warmth, he would have thought it was a prosthesis.
Shu Mo on the side: "..."
I always feel like this conversation is familiar.
She coughed lightly, and the next second, the male masseur looked up in horror and said, "Boss, I really used a lot of strength!"
Shu Mo: "...No, my cough doesn't mean anything else..."
Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, as if he was afraid that his career would be ruined by Mo Bai's insensitive right arm, Shu Mo couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
Don't monsters have any senses anymore after they turn into humans?
Or is it that the massage force applied by ordinary players is really as light as tickling in the eyes of the dragons...
She was a little curious, so she patted Mo Bai's back, motioning him to sit up, then reached out and took his right arm, imitating the masseur's technique and pressing it twice, "...really no feeling?"
The boy looked thin, but he could feel the clear muscle lines. His fingertips sank in, and Mo Bai reflexively pulled back and whispered, "It's a little numb."
Shu Mo: “…”
Shu Mo: "You call this having no feelings?"
If she didn't know that Mo Bai was not that kind of dragon, she would have suspected that he did it on purpose.
The male masseur cried out with a sad face, "Boss..."
"Ah, his defense is stacked high, so it may not be obvious." Shu Mo let go of his hand and made up an excuse to comfort him, "Don't worry about it, I'll change someone else, this time it doesn't count."
Before the Arctic Fox bus was scheduled to depart in the afternoon, Shu Mo sent an employee message through the system and called Yao Yonghui over.
This time the test results were relatively normal.
Liu Yan and Yao Yonghui were also people who had been to the massage parlor before the advent of the game. After making an objective evaluation from the perspective of customers, combined with Yue Wenjun's professional comments, Shu Mo judged that the four of them had the basics, so he kept them all.
But the prerequisite is that you need to undergo training, and only after reaching a level where you can receive guests can you enter a probation period and then become a regular employee.
At this stage, they can only get internship wages, 20 points a day, but food and accommodation are also provided.
"As long as you feel you are capable enough, you can come to me for assessment at any time. If you pass the assessment, you can directly enter the probation period - can you accept this?" Shu Mo asked after explaining.
The four of them nodded frantically.
"OK!"
"I'm fine."
"I also……"
Food and lodging are provided, who cares about bicycles?
Shu Mo looked at Yue Wenjun again. Training meant adding more work to her workload, and it depended on whether she agreed or not. "There will be extra subsidies during the training period, and the daily salary will increase to 100 points a day, but you may have to work overtime. Is that okay?"
These students are still able to keep in touch with Yue Wenjun, which is enough to prove that they have a good master-disciple relationship. Yue Wenjun had originally planned to give them special training in the dormitory in the future, and strive to make them regular employees as soon as possible so that everyone can stay. Now that they hear that there are subsidies, they naturally have no objection.
After the discussion, everyone was happy. Shu Mo opened the business panel.
【Player "Liang Mao" has become your employee! 】
【Salary: 20 points/day, paid daily. 】
【Player "Xie Fan" has become your employee! 】
…
【Player "Chai Jiaying" has become your employee! 】
…
[The salary of employee "Yue Wenjun" has been adjusted to "100 points/day, daily payment", do you want to save the changes? 】
【yes】
After this wave of onboarding was completed, the number of employees in Nuannuan Hot Spring reached 12 people - two of them were the two girls who came to help during the weekend barbecue fish event, one named Luo Yi and the other named Zhao Siyu.
There are 10 full-time employees, which is still insufficient compared to the current scale.
Gu Xiao is already almost overwhelmed, and the villa needs at least three more employees, including the front desk clerk and male and female bath cleaners.
Shu Mo decided to let the remaining Bai Rongrong go to the town in the afternoon to post the recruitment notice again.
She also checked the employee information section of the management panel.
This area lists the personal information of each employee in detail, allowing Shu Mo to change his benefits, etc. There are also their photos on the left side of the screen.
There are now twelve photos in the list. The players are normal headshots, but Mo Bai has a human image with a faint shadow behind him. The black dragon's cold golden eyes stared directly at the screen, giving off a very oppressive feeling.
Shu Mo couldn't help but smack his lips: Xiao Heilong's ID photo is quite handsome.
She randomly clicked on Yue Wenjun's photo and saw the following on her personal page:
【Name: Yue Wenjun】
【Salary: 100 points/day, daily payment】
【Number of days in office: 1 day】
[Distribution facilities: None]
[Skill: [Massage]·Mastery]
When he saw the last line, Shu Mo's eyes paused.
She clicked on the word "Mastery" and a new line of text popped up on the screen.
【About “Employee Skills”:
The employees you recruit may have various special skills. Such employees are called "professional talents". Recruiting professional talents can unlock corresponding buildings/facilities, or add special effects to existing buildings/facilities.
In addition to some employees who have their own skills, employees can also acquire professional skills or improve their existing skills through learning and training.
·Skills are divided into four levels: "Entry", "Proficient", "Master", and "Master". As the level increases, the skill effect will also improve.
As an operator, you can improve the skills of your employees by giving them holidays, adjusting work schedules (so that they can allocate their time for learning), hiring professional trainers, establishing a reward and punishment system, verbal encouragement, etc. 】
Good job.
The gameplay is quite complicated.
Speaking of this last point about improving skill levels through verbal encouragement... is it really effective?
Shu Mo was so upset that he wanted to vomit.
After reading the instructions, she clicked on the personal pages of several other new employees to check.
【Name: Liang Mao】
[Skill: [Massage]·Beginner]
【Name: Xie Fan】
[Skill: [Massage]·Beginner]
…
All four of them are beginners, which is equivalent to apprentice level, and they are not yet at the level where they can give massages to customers. Shu Mo had originally hoped to discover a "proficient" level and open the massage parlor directly, but upon seeing this, he sighed and closed the small window in disappointment.
It seems that we can only maintain the current arrangement. Let Yue Wenjun be responsible for room service in the hotel during the day and train the four people at night, so as to open the business as soon as possible. Otherwise, Yue Wenjun alone would not be able to support a massage parlor.
After reading them all, Shu Mo also clicked on other people's photos and took a look.
【Name: Luo Yi】
[Skills: [Grilled Fish]·Proficient, [Grilled Meat]·Proficient]
It seems not surprising that people who grill fish can also grill meat. Shu Mo wondered if she could find a way to marinate some raw meat in the future and let Luo Yi help her grill chicken wings or something.
When Luo Yi was recruited before, the system did not remind us to unlock new facilities. This was probably because the [outdoor barbecue grill] and [barbecue] talents were not strongly related. The grill can still be run without professional talent - but there is a high chance that the grill will be terrible, just like the failed attempts of other players that day.
Shu Mo looked around and had a rough idea in his mind.
The importance of professional talents in the business game is self-evident. When setting wages in the future, professional skills must be set as one of the important criteria.
For now, she arranged for a few people to take the Arctic Fox bus in the afternoon back to the city to pack their things and wait until tomorrow to officially start work. I went to find Bai Rongrong and prepared to post a new recruitment notice and expand the dormitory building.
There were things to do one after another, but Shu Mo felt particularly fulfilled and satisfied in his heart.
The hot spring was expanding steadily, and when there were more employees in the future, she thought she could move out of the dormitory and build a small building to live in on her own.
...What color flowers should I plant in the yard when the time comes?
