Chapter 106 Responsible for Performance
"Come on, let's go meet your mother."
After picking up the little Loli, Zhou Anan said with a smile.
"Mother."
"Jojo."
Zhang Ting took two quick steps forward and hugged her daughter who was running towards her. Looking at her chubby and fair daughter, the loneliness and fatigue of many days suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Mom, here's some food for you."
Little Qiaoqiao took out a rice dumpling from the small bag in her hand. She was afraid that her mother would be hungry after sitting in the car for too long, and these were the two rice dumplings she had saved with great difficulty.
"Mom is not hungry, you eat."
Patting her daughter's head, Zhang Ting said softly.
"Sister Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
After the mother and daughter finished talking, Zhou Anan spoke.
“It’s not hard.”
Zhang Ting stood up and shook her head. Her task in studying in Hangzhou was still very easy. At least she didn't have to greet people with a smile like when she worked in the cosmetics store.
It just takes some brainpower to familiarize yourself with all the recipes and production steps of milk tea.
"Then let's go home and rest."
"No, let's go check out the store first."
Having completed her studies, Zhang Ting did not choose to go home to rest immediately, but was eager to see where she would work in the future.
After all, she still owed the boy a large sum of money.
"OK."
Seeing that the beauty wanted to make money for him so eagerly, Zhou Anan did not stop her.
The three of them took a taxi to Chonghemen Square. Little Qiaoqiao acted as the guide, trotting with her older brother and mother to the store that was about to be completed.
"Mom, mom, my big brother said that I will be the store manager from now on."
Xiao Qiaoqiao, who wants to become a shop manager soon, remembers the location of this milk tea shop very well.
"Our Qiao Qiao is really amazing."
After praising her daughter, Zhang Ting looked at the simple and elegant milk tea shop and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
In the future, she wants to earn a stable living for herself and her daughter.
"The equipment will arrive tomorrow. Once it's debugged, we'll be able to open the day after tomorrow. Sister Zhang can take a break these two days and hire two waiters."
"OK."
After parting with the little Lolita and her mother, Zhou Anan returned to the training class. Without the little Lolita's playfulness, it felt a bit deserted.
At the end of the day, every human being is a creature that likes to live in groups and communicate.
It was a sunny Saturday, and the autumn chill was much less.
On this morning, many girls wearing "Qinglan Milk Tea" work clothes appeared around Chonghemen Square, at the entrances of the two campuses of Haizhou College, at the entrance of Haizhou Vocational College... and around various young people's gathering places. They held a stack of flyers and gave potential customers information about the benefits of the grand opening promotion.
Compared with the bombardment of WeChat Moments and TV advertisements more than ten years later, today's flyer model is more excellent and direct. At least Zhou Anan, who was sitting in the store drinking milk tea with the little Lolita, saw that there were already more than a dozen customers queuing at the door of the milk tea shop which had just opened at nine o'clock.
Of course, among the dozen or so customers queuing, Zhou Anan recognized many familiar faces, and only three or two she didn't know.
In this era where even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley, it is necessary to find a few acquaintances to support you.
Zhou Anan would never admit that this was someone he hired, he just promised in advance to give these girls some free drink coupons.
For such a good thing, the girls who have nothing to do are naturally very enthusiastic.
Although the three or four yuan after a 50% discount is not cheap, the promotion of "pure tea drink" and "real milk tea" is much better than the drinks in the supermarket, and it is far better than the milk tea made with milk powder nowadays.
"Please don't crowd."
Seeing that more and more people were queuing, Liu Jun and others who came over temporarily to help distribute flyers took on the important task of maintaining order.
As the store manager, Zhang Ting is naturally very busy. She has to personally handle all the more complicated tea drinks, and the two newly hired waiters are also busy making simple milk tea.
As time went by, more and more customers came, attracted by flyers and lured by long queues. Of course, the advertisement for a 50% discount at the opening of the store was also very conspicuous.
Unlike some unscrupulous milk tea shops in later generations who simply labeled some of the more expensive teas as "sold out" in order to save costs, Zhou Anan, who was not short of money, directly offered a 50% discount on all teas.
Popularity and word of mouth are the best ways for tea and milk tea shops to increase sales.
"Wow, big brother, there are so many people."
Holding a cup of hot pure milk, Xiao Qiaoqiao looked at the crowd that was almost blocking the door with curiosity in her eyes.
"Qiao Qiao, don't walk around randomly. If you get taken away by bad guys, you won't be able to see your mom and me anymore."
When it comes to educating children, Zhou Anan feels that she is quite capable and never forgets to educate the little girl.
"Really? The bad guys are really bad. If I can't see my mother, I will cry. If I can't see my big brother, I won't have anything delicious or fun to do."
After hearing what her big brother said, little Qiao Qiao was so frightened that she even forgot to drink her milk and looked at her big brother pitifully.
"So, you can't just walk around. Qiao Qiao will be the little store manager here. You will have a lot of good things to eat, and big brother can take you to play a lot of fun things."
"Hmmmm."
In order not to interfere with Zhang Ting's work, Zhou Anan took the little Loli back to the training class.
Compared with the slow development of electric vehicle stores and training classes, Zhou Anan seriously underestimated the love of young men and women for "new-style tea drinks".
Until Zhou Anan finished her afternoon training class and brought the little girl over, there was always a line of people in front of the milk tea shop.
"Sister Zhang, you guys should also take a good rest. Don't get too tired."
After looking at the order number printed out by the computer, Zhou Anan showed some concern for the mature beauty.
Fatigue could be seen on the faces of the two waiters, and Zhang Ting, the store manager, was naturally even more tired.
Judging from the order numbers, after the break from 12 noon to 1 pm, more than 200 orders of milk tea were sold in the three hours in the afternoon.
These are not just more than 200 cups of milk tea. Some of them have two, three or even more cups at a time. You can imagine how heavy the task is today.
Of course, you can make more money too.
"It's okay, but we don't have much material left. I'm going to rest for another hour and prepare some more materials so we can open in the evening."
Zhang Ting shook her head and said something while taking a sip of water.
"Don't be too tired. We just opened today. Go to bed early."
Zhou Anan did not agree with Li Ren's plan because she did not want to tire out the little Loli's mother just because of making money.
"No, we just opened today, and it's the best time to attract customers. As the store manager, I must be responsible for the store's performance."
Zhang Ting, who had gone to Hangzhou to learn management experience, shook her head and rejected the boss's plan. As a store manager, she would not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
As the store manager, she cannot be too accommodating to the boss in store management.
"Okay, then you can rest for another half an hour."
Zhou Anan, the boss, was fascinated by the sudden workplace temperament of the mature beauty and compromised, but also increased the rest time by half an hour.
As the person in charge, Zhang Ting might be able to bear it, but the two waitresses couldn't handle it.
Furthermore, how much profit can be lost if the business time is reduced by half an hour, not to mention during the opening period with half-price discounts.
Even if you sell thousands of cups of milk tea, the profit from each cup is only one dollar, and the profit is only thousands of dollars.
