I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 547, "A Leisurely and Slow-Paced Life" (Special Extended Edition): Chen Lin's Entrepreneurial Story
Chen Lin's shop is a handmade tea shop with a decoration style that leans towards a girly comic book style, and the main target audience for this type of shop is girls.

Boys are rarely interested in milk tea or fruit tea, but are more interested in authentic tea brewing.

Therefore, the clothes designed for the employees are very dreamy, taking into account the store's style.

As soon as the three handsome men and beautiful women appeared, the comment section was flooded with excited netizens.

[Getting close to this beautiful lady! So kawaii! Jinli is dressed so cutely, all pink, and the koi hair clip she's wearing is gorgeous. I need the link to that hair clip in three seconds!]

The hair clip shop owner, who was secretly posting comments, was overjoyed and immediately went live on Maozhua and Wangwang live streaming platforms—

Three, two, one, link above!

[I remember the last time Jinli wore pink... I can't recall, she hasn't worn so much pink in ages!!]

[Her hairstyle is adorable too, long curly hair! Her eyes are so big and cute. There's a real difference between ordinary people and celebrities; how can someone be so good-looking?]

Jinli's fans were overjoyed, and March Sky's fans were just as excited.

Compared to Jinli's flashy outfits, Yan Xingdong and Gu Cheng's attire was much simpler.

But it must be said that whether you can wear a shirt well really depends on your figure and looks.

Yan Xingdong and Gu Cheng were dressed much like employees of "Prince Coffee No. 1 Store," wearing white shirts with brown work uniforms over them.

Gu Cheng combed all the bangs off his forehead, revealing a full and smooth forehead. His head and shoulders were in excellent proportion, and his handsome features were striking, leaving many fans in awe.

I always thought Gu Cheng had a delicate, understated look, exuding a sophisticated aura and possessing an exceptional presence. But now, looking at him, I realize his facial features are beautifully arranged, especially his nose—it's incredibly straight!
Ahem, ladies, those who know, know! His high, straight nose accentuated his deep-set eyes, and his skull, especially his forehead, gave him a very upright and dignified appearance.

[This is the first time I've realized that Gu Cheng can actually be considered a very handsome young man in people's eyes.]

Unlike Gu Cheng, who combed his forehead up, Yan Xingdong did the opposite, deliberately combing his bangs down.

As the team leader, Yan Xingdong usually has to deal with many sponsors, so he presents himself as an all-around and powerful figure.

Like a stable anchor, it firmly holds the great ship of March.

As the captain, he cannot show any weakness, so his hairstyle basically requires him to comb his hair up and show his face proudly.

This can give people a strong sense of pressure, but it can also make them feel reliable and at ease.

However, in the program, he unusually combed his hair down and had a side-swept fringe, which covered the sharpness of his eyebrows and eyes, giving people a completely different feeling.

[Gentle yet strong... wait, Captain, are you really not considering acting in an idol drama? I think you'd be perfect for a devoted supporting male role!]

[Holy crap, sis, you're not alone! I also think his outfit makes him look like a very romantic second male lead. Everyone knows the male lead belongs to the female lead, but the second male lead belongs to the audience!]

[Wow, how did you guys come up with the idea of ​​swapping outfits?]
Gu Cheng originally had the aloof and handsome school heartthrob vibe, which was perfect for the second male lead. Of course, he could also be the male lead. But with this look, his features are so strong that he can only be the male lead. If the second male lead looks like this, no one would believe he's the second male lead!

The captain is different. He's always been my number one male lead, and now all I feel about him is his gentleness. Oh my god, he smiled! I'm going to be intoxicated by his dimples!

The three celebrities' newly released looks have received unanimous praise from netizens.

Everyone said, "Just looking at the faces in this episode is enough to satisfy us!"

But "Leisurely Slow Living" is known for stirring things up.

When several artists get together, they always create a wonderful chemistry.

Upon seeing the employees, Chen Lin said with satisfaction, "Let's start the trial operation today and get to work now!"

I thought these employees were trained and knew everything, but problems arose just ten minutes after the store opened.

"Boss, the receipt printer isn't printing the receipt!"

Chen Lin went over to take a look, and damn it, he hadn't put any paper in there at all.

I put the paper in and tried to print, but the receipt came out blank with no text.

All that effort went wrong, but a quick online search revealed I was a complete idiot.

The printer is fine, the paper is fine, the problem is that the paper is in the wrong position.

The back of the paper was placed on the printer nozzle, so no ink was coming out. After adjusting the paper position, the printer finally worked normally.

Jinli was in charge at the front desk, while Yan Xingdong and Gu Cheng were busy in the kitchen backstage.

Although they had received training, things were a bit chaotic when they first started operating. They got the ingredient ratios for several drinks wrong, which immediately resulted in several negative reviews from customers.

Chen Lin watched from the side, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

He changed out of his suit and into his employee uniform, then joined in the help.

If the store has no orders and no money, it's not a bad thing for him to just stand by and watch.

But now, seeing orders pouring in like water, yet not having enough time to earn them, he feels heartbroken.

Since the boss was working himself, Luo Yi, as his secretary, followed suit and went to the kitchen to help.

But he was different; he didn't take off his suit, but instead put on his work clothes, which was somewhat unconventional...

The allure of an elite cook.

[The food in this episode was amazing! A diverse array of figures, each with their own unique charm (lights a cigarette)]

[Luo Yi's contrast is too great, haha. He's transformed into an all-around secretary, while Chen Lin, the boss, only manages to make things worse and needs Luo Yi to save the day.]

Sebastian, is that you, my Black Butler?!

Chen Lin, how do you manage to keep that "pretty but useless" look glued to your face all the time?

In the program.

Chen Lin initially gave instructions in the kitchen, but later felt that just talking wasn't enough, so he started doing it himself.

"Water, water, water! Why isn't the water coming out of the kitchen?"

"Where's my mango? Where's my huge mango?"

"Strawberries, my dear son, we need to sell as many as possible today!"

"Let me shake you, let me shake you! You don't have any strength in your hands!"

As a result, Chen Lin took the shaker cup, but due to excessive shaking force and improper posture, the cup slipped from his hand halfway through the shake.

Bang!
The drink that was about to be made was spilled all over the floor, and the kitchen staff stared at him speechlessly, the atmosphere deathly silent.

Chen Lin scratched his head sheepishly and gave an awkward smile: "Um, I didn't mean to."

The production team specially added several large special effects characters to his head and threw them at him one by one.

"Pretty waste"

"Silly Beauty"

"More trouble than it's worth"

As the words were smashed one by one, Chen Lin's body grew smaller and smaller, almost completely submerged by the characters.

The fans felt a bit sorry for him.

Stop scolding him! It's not easy for our simple-minded son to grow up to this age!

[What did Chen Lin do wrong? He just really wanted to help!] [Now I understand why Xiao Lin can be a boss. If he were an employee, wouldn't the boss have to pay him out of pocket?]

Luo Yi, now wearing a black leather handkerchief, picked up Chen Lin...

Yes, it really was carried by hand!
No one knew how Luo Yi managed to pull Chen Lin out of the kitchen and send him to the front to entertain the guests.

Chen Lin blinked. There were no customers in the shops outside yet; there were more takeout orders at the moment.

He initially thought he wasn't busy, but then he saw the order form printing paper spraying out continuously, all the way under the table, and he froze.

Where is Jinli?

This is a good question.

Jinli had a bit of an upset stomach and went to the restroom.

Therefore, the front desk is unattended.

This is not a problem.

The problem is that there are so many orders, we have to label them one by one and make them!
Only after labeling the cups can they be taken inside, and then everyone can prepare them according to the corresponding ingredients.

[Well done, Pear! Let the boss experience the struggle of having only one person at the counter of a tea shop!]

I think working at the front desk is really tiring. The boss seems to think you're not doing any work, and is always telling you what to do. But when things get busy, the front desk staff are practically inhuman. They have to take orders, put labels on tables, and clean up after customers. It's like doing three jobs at once.

[We can't just have one person at the front desk. People can only handle one job at a time. We should at least hire a cleaner, right?]

[By the way, isn't one guest member still missing?]

Why hasn't Qi Guan Mingzhu appeared yet?

Not long after someone asked about it, Qi Guan Mingzhu appeared on the show.

She entered the shop dressed in Lolita style, carrying an elegant lace-trimmed parasol, and even wore a beautiful long, wavy silver-white wig.

Qi Guan Mingzhu's makeup has a high-class feel, not the kind of influencer makeup that makes eyes look bigger—the eyeliner is drawn so that the lower lashes are drawn all the way down to the under-eye area.

Her entrance, coupled with her beautiful and intricate Lolita tutu, made the handmade shop seem even more radiant.

This time, Qi Guanmingzhu appeared not as an employee, but as a discerning guest.

As the boss, Chen Lin wouldn't normally be in the shop often, nor would he communicate with customers.

So he was about to go back into the kitchen and drag one of the kitchen staff to the front to work as a receptionist when Qi Guanmingzhu's first words were: "I want to see your boss."

Yan Xingdong had already been brought out by Chen Lin to entertain Qi Guanmingzhu.

He turned to look at the kitchen, and Chen Lin immediately waved his hand at him, indicating that he didn't want to see him.

Yan Xingdong then said, "I'm sorry, the boss isn't in the shop. May I ask what you need the boss for? I can pass on your message."

Qi Guanmingzhu slightly raised her chin. "Then I'm going to call the boss and complain that the tea you made for me wasn't made with care. I clearly asked for 5% sugar, but the boba milk tea you gave me was full sugar."

Very good, the customer's negative review is late but it has arrived.

Now Chen Lin could not escape responsibility.

No matter how young and promising he is as a CEO, he cannot escape negative reviews from customers.

Chen Lin was hiding in the kitchen when he called Qi Guanmingzhu, who listed several major pieces of evidence against him.

Besides the excessive sugar and added ingredients, the tapioca pearls weren't cooked soft enough; they didn't feel freshly cooked and were a bit too hard.

At the same time, the straw provided by the delivery was wrong; a thick straw was given instead of a thin one. How was she supposed to suck up the pearls?

[Haha, Chen Lin is being scolded like a dog in the kitchen, so relatable!]

Even business owners can't escape negative reviews from consumers. Just like the most successful listed companies, when their business growth slows down, they can't escape the questions from their shareholders.

I've noticed that when a beverage has a problem, people often don't see it as employee error, but rather as a sign of poor brand management. A problem at one store leads to accountability for the entire brand.

So, Xiaolin, do you think being a boss is still easy?

……

Since "Leisurely Slow Life" switched to a monthly broadcast, the editing speed has increased significantly. Previously, it was two episodes for one theme, but now it has been compressed to one and a half episodes for one theme.

This time, "Leisurely Slow Living" has released a special extended version, which covers this topic in this episode!
After a busy first day filled with criticism, Chen Lin...

The next day, after much painful reflection, he decided to become a hands-off manager.

So he didn't go to the store, nor did he inquire about the situation there. He didn't make a single phone call to the employees, nor did he ask his secretary to go to the store to keep an eye on them.

He was afraid that when Luo Yi arrived, he would be very responsible and tell him about the situation in the store.

He's not even in the store, yet he's out there worrying about everything.

Since he's not a professional, and even if he went there, it wouldn't be enough to help, it's better to ignore him and not watch, out of sight, out of mind.

The consequences of doing this are—

The shop staff miscalculated the sales figures for the second day, resulting in insufficient ingredients. As a result, the shop could only operate for half a day before having to close!
A boss who only wants to be a hands-off manager versus an employee who slacks off – it's a battle of wits.

We absolutely have to replace him with a more obedient employee!

【You can try a different person, but to be fair, for a newly opened tea shop like this, the owner should stay in the shop for at least six months to train the employees.】

Store managers should act as store managers, senior staff should act as senior staff, and those who are paid commission should receive commission. Don't be stingy with incentives, or you'll regret it if orders are delayed.

Even for franchised tea shops, if you don't cultivate a good store manager, the owner will never have an easy time, and the store manager is easily poached; you can't retain talent without paying a hefty price.

So, Rin, do you think being a boss is easy?

During the show, Chen Lin's lips twitched slightly, and he roared, "Whoever wants to be the boss can be one, I'm never being a boss again!"

This episode ended with Chen Lin's business venture failing.

The production team is really good at this.

Chen Lin was already in a very bad mood, yet he still interviewed each guest individually, asking them to talk about his entrepreneurial experience this time.

Gu Cheng looked at the camera and said calmly, "I deliberately cut more fruit. I wanted to tell him that not everything can be calculated perfectly."

Yan Xingdong: "I deliberately broke a few dishes. I wanted him to know that there are many unexpected situations that employees can encounter, even the boss cannot predict."

Luo Yi: "I deliberately asked him more questions, wanting him to think more about what to do in such an emergency, and also tried to demonstrate the correct approach."

Jinli: "I deliberately went to the restroom frequently, wanting him to know that only by supervising each other can we improve efficiency."

Qi Guanmingzhu: "I deliberately nitpick. Real customers aren't as difficult as me, but if you encounter a difficult one, they'll definitely be more difficult than me."

Everything they did was teaching Chen Lin how to be a successful boss, how to better manage employees, and how to make actions more efficient.

Therefore, starting a business is truly a science.

When your business fails, ask yourself honestly: was it because of the poor economic climate, or because you failed to be a good boss?

The extended edition of "Leisurely Slow Living" has officially come to an end!
