Chapter 609
Su Yu walked in with a suitcase in each hand, saying as he walked in:
"Uncle Shi, you're finally back! How many days have passed since you called and said you were leaving?
Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and even Meng Sui came back yesterday. Everyone is very worried, but there is no way to contact you. My dad has called several times to ask about you.
Su Yuanzheng smiled and said, "I finally had some time to go out with Miaomiao, so I traveled around a lot. Besides, the roads in some places were difficult to travel on, and night trains were even more difficult to drive on, so the journey took a little longer than expected."
We finally waited for them to come back, and the store is bound to be lively tonight.
Su Yuanzheng was full of energy and didn't need to rest at all. He rode his tricycle to the vegetable market to buy things.
I bought a bunch of delicious food and went to the branch store. I told everyone that after closing tonight, we would go back to the main store for dinner and supper.
Su Miao went to a milk tea shop. Because the high-quality milk and tea used were expensive and not cheap, there was not a long queue in the shop, but it was not deserted either, as there were customers coming in all the time.
The two shop assistants were very happy to see her back. They quickly made her a cup of hot milk tea and took the account book to show her.
When Su Miao was away, the account books and money were handed over to Sister Hui. Sister Hui would calculate the accounts and fax them to her every week along with the accounts of the store and factory.
So she didn't look at the bill. She sat at the small table, took a sip of milk tea, and said, "Wow! It's delicious! Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Sister Meng smiled and said, "This isn't hard at all. It's easier than any job I've ever done before, and you treat us very well. My friends are very envious of me."
"After this holiday, I plan to hire another employee for the milk tea shop, so that you can have more time to rest during your shifts."
Su Miao had looked at the account books before. In the past three months, the store could sell 150 cups of milk tea every day, which was much higher than the first two months. The profit was enough to cover the salary of the new employees and there was still surplus, so she planned to add more staff.
The two employees were very surprised. This would reduce their workload and completely solve the current feeling of being constrained by weekly rest schedules.
"Okay, young boss, will the new employees be transferred from the store like us?" Sister Meng asked.
Su Miao shook his head: "Everyone in the store is already familiar with their job. Instead of destroying the structure, it's better to recruit new people. But I'll have to trouble you to guide the new people later."
The two responded: "That's no problem, it's what we should do."
In fact, Su Miao planned to promote one of the three employees in the milk tea shop to be the store manager after the new employee got the hang of things. Unlike the previous equal-level system when there were fewer people, now that there are more people, someone is needed to be responsible for the daily work arrangements and coordination of the store.
At present, she prefers Sister Meng, but she needs to observe her performance in leading new people before making a decision.
"By the way, there is something else I want to discuss with you today." Su Miao turned the topic to the purpose of his visit.
"What's that?"
"Chinese New Year is just four days away. If we follow the Su Ji main store's schedule, we'll be closed from the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. But as you know, there are a lot of people shopping in the square during Chinese New Year, which is a great time for our milk tea business.
I called and asked, and I'm told that there have been people on duty at the dairy factory since the third day of the Lunar New Year, so milk can be delivered normally.
I'd like to ask if you're willing to take your leave early, or rather, adjust it. From the third to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, you'll be paid double your salary. After the new employees arrive, you can make up for the missed leave with a one-to-one compensation.
The two employees looked at each other, and both of them thought, "How can this be possible?"
"Boss, actually, you don't need to take compensatory leave. When I work at other companies, I don't get such a long New Year's holiday. It's only on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.
We've already earned the double pay you give us for a few more days, and since I don't have anything urgent to do at home, I'm willing to come to work."
"Other families are their own families, and our family's welfare is different."
Another employee, Xiaoqi, also quickly raised her watch and decided:
"Little boss! I can do that too! My parents will definitely urge me to go see my husband when I go home for the New Year. I'll have an excuse not to go and I'll also earn some extra money. They'll definitely have nothing to complain about!"
"Okay, that's settled then. My dad and I will go back tomorrow to order some New Year's goods for the employees. Remember to pick them up when you come to the restaurant for dinner the day after tomorrow."
"Yes! Thank you, boss!"
At the dinner party in the evening, two large round tables were occupied by a large crowd. At this time, the concept that Su Ji was a big store became concrete.
Most of them were employees who joined the company before Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng left Nanning. The only one he had never met was Su Yu's new apprentice.
Because Meng Sui, who was previously Jiang Fengyi's deputy, was transferred to Beijing, personnel adjustments were made.
Yang Hao was transferred to the branch to be Jiang Fengyi's assistant, and Su Yu trained another apprentice.
She is a woman in her early thirties who used to work in the school cafeteria. When the cafeteria was reformed and changed to a contracting system, most of the people working in the school cafeteria were laid off.
When she started working, Su Miao and her father conducted a telephone interview with her and found no problems with communication.
I worked at a grassroots level for three months and was transferred to the kitchen last month.
Su Miao observed him for a while and felt that he was a straightforward person, but not one who liked to show off.
When asked questions, she answers them openly and to the point. When she has nothing to do, she just eats happily. When her colleagues are joking, she can also join in a few words at the right time.
Taking advantage of the father and daughter's return, everyone had a great time. In the middle of the party, Su Yuanzheng gave red envelopes to everyone, saying that this was extra and they would still get the New Year's bonus. Suddenly, the atmosphere became even more lively.
In the evening, the house was quiet again. After washing up, Su Miao read in the room, but he was always a little absent-minded.
My thoughts drifted to Star City, then to other places.
She pulled out a photo from her notebook. It was a front view of the gate of the Taifu's former residence that Professor Zhou had given her. On the back was Professor Zhou's powerful note: The spark will never go out, and civilization will be passed on forever.
Suddenly, she remembered what the student representatives said at the opening ceremony: "Patriotism, progress, democracy, and daring to be the first..."
It was as if she suddenly got it. Yes, who said she had no background? The school was her background!
Students at University A are never afraid of pursuing truth, breaking limits, or challenging authority.
Even though she is thousands of miles away now, there is always a way for her to lend a helping hand.
Since their plan is to expand their influence and put the matter on the table for discussion, perhaps she can ask Professor Wen for help.
See if he has any good ideas and whether he can get help from the school and teachers. As a top university in the country, the voices of teachers and leaders also have a certain influence.
