Chapter 55: The Joy of This Place
The moment the warming cabinet was opened, all employees saw a kind of food with a bright red shell, crystal clear meat, and rich and attractive color, which usually only appears in food broadcast videos.
"What is this? Does anyone know what this is?"
"Looks like a boron?"
Shao Yiqi and Ruan Miner, two experienced people, said in unison: "This is an Australian dragon. The bonito has claws."
The other inexperienced employees looked at each other and asked uncertainly, "So, which one is more expensive, Australian lobster or Chinese lobster?"
"That must be an Australian lobster!" Shao Yiqi almost jumped up, "Aolong is not a real lobster at all!"
Real lobsters only have "whiskers" and no claws.
The prices are naturally very different.
Ruan Miner swallowed her saliva and said, "It looks like each lobster weighs at least two kilograms... Can each of us really take one?"
Seeing that no one in the hall dared to take the food, Yang Ruoqian, who arrived late, immediately became unhappy.
We spent so much effort on preparing the menu and hired such a expensive chef, but why do people seem to have no appetite?
"Those in the front line should hurry up and take it, the people behind are waiting." Yang Ruoqian, who is the boss but does not cut in line, urged.
Standing at the front of the line and being stared at by everyone, Lu Shuyuan almost cried: "Boss, what can I get?"
The ingredients here can buy her whole body! Who dares to take it?
"Take whatever you want, just don't waste it." Yang Ruoqian continued to encourage, "Take it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"
With the boss's approval, everyone finally stopped being polite and each took a dish and put it on their own plate.
"Fortunately, these vegetables look normal..." Lu Shuyuan, who was shocked by the high-end ingredients, brushed her chest lightly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to eat them."
Shao Yiqi, who was squeezed in the back, looked at this girl who had not yet been dazzled by the world of pleasure, and could not help but remind her: "A cabbage with a portion of soup would cost at least two or three hundred yuan in a restaurant outside. You'd better be careful not to spill it."
A cabbage costs two or three hundred yuan? ! When had the girl at the front desk ever heard such scary words? Her hand holding the dish trembled, and a few drops of "boiling water" immediately fell to the ground.
Finished, sprinkled a few drops...
I I I won't be fired, right?
Seeing that Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing, the two company bosses, didn't say anything, Lu Shuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She found a seat in the cafeteria and sat down with a little uneasiness.
Very good, the girl at the front desk finally accepted the style of our company’s cafeteria!
But Yang Ruoqian still felt unsatisfied. Why did the other employees seem a little reluctant? Although they took some dishes, they didn't seem to dare to take too much. How could this be possible? The canteen basically did not provide staple food. The purpose was to let the employees eat their fill! How could they be full with just this little? Soon, Yang Ruoqian set his sights on Huang Rushi: "Is this enough for you?"
Huang Rushi was startled and said subconsciously: "Ah, boss, enough is enough!"
"No, it's not enough." Yang Ruoqian directly exposed the employee's duplicity, "The takeaway you ordered yesterday was at least twice as much as you got now, and you also brought a big bowl of rice. I saw with my own eyes that you ate it all!"
"Boss, I..." Huang Rushi was not good at speaking, and he felt a little panicked when his boss said that.
"Don't you like it?" Yang Ruoqian asked.
Huang Rushi quickly denied: "No, no..."
Barbecue, lobster, squab... 90% of people will like these foods that can best stimulate people's primitive foraging desires.
Just smelling it makes my mouth water, how could I not like it.
Well, these things are too expensive, and it’s a bit scary to eat them.
When you take a bite, it feels like you are not chewing meat, but chewing money.
Yang Ruoqian asked again: "It's not that you don't like it, but you ate too much this morning?"
Huang Rushi hurriedly explained: "Uh, no, Mr. Yang, I just think these things are too expensive, I'm afraid of wasting them..."
waste?
"How is it a waste? The ingredients have already been bought and made into meals. If you eat them, they go into your stomach. If you don't eat them, they will be thrown into the trash can soon. There is no such thing as waste." Yang Ruoqian corrected Huang Rushi's wrong idea.
"This..." Huang Rushi couldn't find a reason to refute at the first time, and even felt that what his boss said made sense.
"Think about it, when we spend a lot of money to buy ingredients, do food wholesalers make money? If they make money, will they feel empty, lonely and cold? Will they seek spiritual comfort? Will they watch live broadcasts? Will they give us money?"
Huang Rushi was completely confused: "Yes, is that so?"
Yang Ruoqian said seriously: "That's right, so after rounding off, all our ingredients are free, there is no such thing as waste, eat them with confidence!"
It turns out that after rounding off, these high-end ingredients are all free... right?
What the boss said sounds outrageous at first, but it seems to make a little sense?
Huang Rushi, who had never studied economics, could only nod and say, "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll take it then?"
"Take it! Remember, eat as much as you want. These things are free. It would be a waste if you don't eat them!" Yang Ruoqian reminded again worriedly.
Hey, starting a company and hiring employees is as troublesome as raising children! I have to persuade them even to have a meal.
Yang Ruoqian sighed and turned his gaze towards the place where the soup was being made.
Then I saw the operations girl Weng Ziqin holding a soup spoon and scooping soup into her bowl.
Yang Ruoqian walked over and took a look into her soup bowl.
I found that there was only soup and no dry ingredients.
"Why don't you scoop out the abalone, sea cucumber and shark fin? Don't you like it?"
Weng Ziqin waved her hands repeatedly: "Without the boss, I can't eat so much..."
The roasted pigeon has too many calories. You will get fat if you eat more.
"You really can't eat it?" Yang Ruoqian used different tactics on different employees, "Don't you know that these seafoods are actually low in calories? Haven't you heard that eating more of these is good for your skin?"
Good for skin?
Speaking of skin, Weng Ziqin immediately touched her face and asked excitedly, "Really?"
What the hell, no one really believes this, right? Yang Ruoqian took the soup spoon and stuffed a large abalone and a large sea cucumber into Weng Ziqin's bowl: "Really! Eat it!"
After more than ten minutes of exhortation, each employee's plate was finally filled to the brim.
Yang Ruoqian looked at this prosperous scene and smiled with satisfaction.
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once the employees have become picky eaters, won’t they look forward to lunch time every day?
Perfect plan! …
Click, click.
At a table, Lu Shuyuan took out her cell phone and took several photos of the lobster on the table from top to bottom.
After slightly retouching the picture, Lu Shuyuan added another line of words:
"At the company's employee lunch, eat your phone first!"
Just minutes after this post was posted on WeChat Moments, the comment section exploded.
Lu Shuyuan previously worked in a 4S store. Although she was not very popular, she added many of her colleagues on WeChat and did not delete them after leaving the job.
"Staff meal? Really? Why don't I believe it?"
"How much does this big lobster cost?!"
"The business has been good recently, so the boss is treating you guys to a meal, right? It's definitely not like this every day."
"This environment doesn't look like a canteen. The boss must have invited us to eat outside."
"It seems that Xiao Lu is doing well in the new company..."
"Where do you work now?"
"Tsk, being pretty is different."
There was surprise, envy, and jealousy in the comment section.
But Lu Shuyuan didn't bother to care about these things - she just wanted to let those who bullied her in the past see how well she was doing now. As for what those people were thinking, what did it have to do with her? When watching others show off their beautiful lives, she always felt disgusted, but when it was her turn to show off, she felt an inexplicable sense of refreshment!
Great! Lu Shuyuan was in a good mood and her appetite improved a lot. She immediately picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the top-quality ingredients that she had never dared to think about before.
I have to say, expensive things taste good.
…
On the other side of the cafeteria, Ding Daoyi looked at his phone and said to Shao Yiqi in front of him: "Your father is looking for you, check WeChat."
When Shao Yiqi heard that his father was looking for him, he was overwhelmed.
After struggling for more than ten seconds, he opened WeChat and typed two words into the chat box: "What?"
As soon as these two words were sent out, a long voice message came from the other end of the phone, full of criticism and insults.
"Have you had enough fun, kid? You are in your twenties and still doing nothing all day. When I was your age, I would have started making money to support the family! Come to the company and learn something useful, otherwise how are you going to inherit the family property in the future? Did you hear me, kid? You don't answer the phone or reply to messages. You want to rebel, right?"
Shao Yiqi didn't care at all about this kind of rhetoric that he had heard so many times that his ears were callused. He directly took a photo of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and lobster on the table with his mobile phone and sent it to his father, adding a message: "I'm eating, don't worry, Dad."
"You're out eating, drinking and having fun again. Can you please do something serious? Huh!?"
If it were in the past, Shao Yiqi would have simply pretended not to see it.
But now...
Shao Yiqi snorted twice: "Dad, this is our company's employee meal. I have found a job. Don't bother me anymore."
The old man's angry voice spread again: "Don't fool me, kid. Which company has such employee meals? Your father has been the boss of a listed company for so many years, how could you fool me? Come back and learn from me how to manage a company."
Shao Yiqi replied: "Really, if you don't believe me, ask Uncle Ding."
My father continued to roar: "It really doesn't work, quit your job! There is no future in working for others!"
"It's promising to learn how to be a boss from you?" Shao Yiqi was happy. He threw the lobster meat into his mouth and swallowed it. "I have to argue with the board of directors every day, go out early and come back late, deal with drinking parties, and analyze so much data that makes me have a headache. It's exhausting."
"I work here now, and I have no pressure at all. I get paid tens of thousands of yuan, and I get off work at five o'clock every day. When I'm tired, I can have a massage, when I'm hungry, I can have a big meal, and I can take a vacation and travel whenever I want."
"Inherit your crappy company? Even a dog would shake his head at that. No, bye."
