Chapter 504 Inquiring about the Girls' School
When Zhu Chengye arrived at the study, Wan Qiqi was drawing and painting with a brush and ink.
He leaned closer to take a look and found that the painting was somewhat abstract, but at least he could tell that it was a painting of a window.
"Qiqi, I heard you were in a bad mood this morning?" Zhu Chengye placed a cup of tea on Wan Qiqi's table and sat down in the empty seat next to her. "The restaurant doesn't keep idle people. Your approach is not wrong at all, but since we have all the people we recruited working at the restaurant, it's hard to avoid this problem."
“Brother Zhu, now that you’ve secured the shop, why don’t we rent a house nearby for the staff to live in? You can also arrange for a suitable person to look after it and let them get familiar with the environment of Yunhe County.”
Wan Qiqi put down her pen and smiled, tilting her head.
He looked down at the painting in his hand again, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Everyone says that people with a golden touch are omnipotent and can do everything, but she feels like she can't do anything.
He has terrible handwriting, his drawings are awful, and he's good at almost nothing. He's really useless!
“We can only manage a small number of people. The people we’ve already recruited are being trained in the town. We’ll go to Yunhe County and find another batch, how about that?” Zhu Chengye asked.
“Of course I have no problem with it, but what do you think of Feng Ganna? If he joins, there are people who can control the newly recruited people, and there are also people who will contribute money and effort.” Wan Qiqi was not dictatorial; she consulted with Zhu Chengye on everything.
“That works, but your relationship with him…” Zhu Chengye hesitated.
"I have nothing to do with him. You know that my discord with him is just an act for outsiders. This person values interests, and he wouldn't shoot himself in the foot by harming us," Wan Qiqi said with a smile.
Although she still couldn't figure out the relationship between Feng Gan and Xie Xing, it seemed that this person didn't have much involvement with the government.
If they want to expand outwards in the future, Feng Gan might be able to provide some connections, which wouldn't be bad.
“Alright, you take charge of this matter and make sure the restaurant runs smoothly,” Zhu Chengye said.
As for the restaurant's management, Zhu Chengye almost always agreed with Wan Qiqi's suggestions, as long as they weren't too far-fetched.
This is also why Wan Qiqi likes to work with Zhu Chengye.
“There’s one more thing. I’d like my third brother to learn from Accountant Liu, so we can prepare for the future branch. I wonder if Brother Zhu would agree?” Wan Qiqi winked at Zhu Chengye.
"This is not a difficult task. You can arrange it as you see fit." Zhu Chengye had a good opinion of Chen Yongliang and felt that he was a promising talent.
After asking all these questions, Wan Qiqi asked, "Brother Zhu, have you heard about the girls' school?"
Zhu Chengye looked at her hesitantly for a long time, then nodded and said, "Many people have been talking about this matter recently, and I have heard about it."
After he finished speaking, he noticed a hint of expectation in Wan Qiqi's eyes. Then, remembering how Wan Qiqi had been running outside from time to time recently, he asked, "Did you make this?"
In this way, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
I was wondering who was so bold as to open a girls' school, they must be crazy!
But when it came to Wan Qiqi, all the problems seemed to be solved instantly, which didn't seem surprising at all.
Wan Qiqi neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "Sixi is also a girl. I mentioned this to her yesterday, and she must have gone to the school to check it out today!"
“That’s not a problem. The restaurant has enough staff, so it’s not an issue. But her monthly salary isn’t low either. If she leaves for a period of time every day but still gets her original salary, it might cause dissatisfaction among the other staff.”
Zhu Chengye addressed the issue directly and expressed his own views.
"What Brother Zhu said is exactly what I was thinking, so I wanted to ask what illness her family members have, and why they haven't been able to recover despite taking medication for so long..."
The two shopkeepers were talking upstairs, while people were coming and going downstairs.
Seeing that the two men had no intention of getting off, Chen Yongliang voluntarily joined the welcoming party, treating guests as Zhu Chengye had always done.
Those watching were somewhat shocked.
"Back then, Brother Yongliang was kicked out by Manager Wan for being disobedient, but now that he's back, he's like a completely different person."
"Isn't that right? Judging from his posture, he's almost surpassing the two managers!"
"There's still some way to go. But he's really suited for this. He's quick-witted and has a sharp tongue. It's truly enviable."
"Do you think Manager Wan is planning to put him in charge of the branch offices in the future?"
"That's hard to say, after all, he's Manager Wan's husband's younger brother."
Just as these people were talking, Wu Gousheng came in from outside, and they immediately shut their mouths.
Although Wu Gousheng is not as terrifying as Manager Wan, he is Manager Wan's eyes and ears; whatever he knows, Manager Wan must also know.
The sun hung high in the sky, and then slowly moved westward.
After the lunch rush, Xinglong Restaurant had only a few scattered tables of customers left.
Si Xi returned from the backyard and was stopped by Lei Zi before he even stepped into the lobby on the first floor.
"Sixi, why are you dressed like this today?" He looked Sixi up and down, thinking that she actually looked quite good in women's clothing, as if she wasn't very well-developed...
Si Xi noticed the direction Lei Zi was staring at and cursed, "You filthy scoundrel, where are you looking!"
"Hey, I didn't mean it, I just thought your chest was a bit flat. How about I give you some extra help? Will eating more help you grow bigger?" Lei Zi didn't realize that his words were inappropriate.
Si Xi's face turned red with embarrassment and anger. He stomped on Lei Zi's foot and stormed off into the main hall.
The waiters in the lobby also looked somewhat surprised when they saw the woman coming from the backyard.
Upon closer inspection, isn't this Four Joys?
Xiao Liu stared blankly for a while before walking over and asking, "Why are you dressed like this at the restaurant?"
