Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 164 Reducing Psychological Advantage
Yu Jing felt that Li Yi's concentration was terrifying.

It is understandable to be focused when doing big things, because if you get distracted, you may suffer greater losses.

But this is a waiter, a job he would never be able to do in his entire life, yet he still has such strong concentration.

Even if it's just for demonstration, it's too hard.

After Li Yi changed the soup base for Lin Haoran's table, the guests next to him also took the initiative to ask if they could change the soup base.

Of course Li Yi gave a positive answer.

Yu Jing saw with her own eyes that the hot pot soup base cooked by Li Yi made everyone very satisfied.

Although part of this is due to the psychological background of taking advantage, there is no doubt that what Li Yi does is more suitable for the general public.

After seeing off a few tables of guests, Li Yi came to Yu Jing. Yu Jing smiled and said, "Li Yi, do you want to come to the restaurant and be a waiter supervisor? I will give you three times the salary."

Li Yi: "Sister Jing, aren't you afraid that the store will be investigated? You signed a labor contract with college students, right?"

"Even if you want to, I wouldn't dare sign it. But the tables of guests you served were really good, but the price was a bit high..."

"Sister Jing, that's not a high price; it's the cost of correcting the mistake. Prepare the contract in a couple of days. After I sign it, I'll start the renovation right away! Also, all the waiters will receive unified training!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"

Yu Jing decided to fully adopt Li Yi's suggestion.

It can be seen from Li Yi's behavior that doing something is not as easy as imagined.

What a person imagines may not be correct, but this guy Li Yi always thinks in the right direction.

This ability is terrifying.

At this moment, Li Yi saw Jiang Li coming back again.

He quickly said something to Yu Jing and walked over.

After coming to Jiang Li, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you drop something?"

Jiang Li said nervously, "No, I just... wanted to tell you that I didn't mean to have dinner with other boys. It was just a dormitory get-together, and I... didn't refuse."

Jiang Li felt too guilty. Li Yi was carrying such great pressure alone, and she was causing trouble for him.

That’s not all, she also participated in dormitory parties and had meals with other boys.

Li Yi smiled and said, "I see you're not full. You didn't eat much the whole time."

Jiang Li: "..."

She was indeed not full. After all, after seeing Li Yi, her mood was so complicated that she had no mood to eat.

In other words, her roommate insisted on picking up food for her.

The second time, we changed the soup base. My roommate was enjoying the meal herself. Plus, the complimentary dishes were not that much, so no one considered her.

So, she didn't eat a single bite of the new soup base.

"No, I'm just afraid that you'll misunderstand me. I really don't have anything to do with other boys."

"Don't worry about that. I'm done with my work, so come over and have something to eat with me."

Li Yi pulled Jiang Li and found a place to sit down.

Then they started to arrange people to serve the dishes and put the soup base on the pot.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Li took the first bite of the dish.

She was surprised as soon as she took a sip. The taste of both the dipping sauce and the base of the pot itself was very much in line with her taste buds.

She has a preference for hot pot and has eaten hot pot at many restaurants. Even her family members like it.

But this is the first time I have enjoyed eating so much.

Just one bite.

"It seems to be different from before..."

"Yes, a new soup base. The previous one wasn't tasty."

"Actually...it's not bad."

Jiang Li was embarrassed to say bad things, after all, Li Yi worked here.

"Don't lie to me. I know how the soup base was before. I've been working here for several days, and I haven't seen many customers praise the taste."

"Ah? So...did you lose your job at Hirisaka?"

"No, but the boss is ready to sign a long-term contract with your company. I'm sure there won't be much work for me, and I won't get much commission, so I just found a new job."

...Li Yi didn't want to demonstrate to Yu Jing how to be a good waiter.

Even if a demonstration is required, it will be done after the new store is fully renovated.

Today I just saw Jiang Li coming over.

Although he didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking at the moment, Li Yi knew exactly what he was thinking.

If you want Jiang Li to pay off the IOU, you must make sure she is prepared.

Now, she was clearly unprepared.

Some catalytic means must be used.

For anything in the world to go smoothly, it needs a catalyst.

But most of the catalysts are time, and Li Yi doesn't want to wait any longer.

He decided to catalyze it himself!

In a way, he wasn't lying!
After Ririxiang signed a long-term contract with Dingsen Group, he really no longer needed to go out and look for customers.

He will soon have shares in the hot pot restaurant, so working here is not considered a scam.

Just talked for a few more days.

"sorry."

Jiang Li said in a low voice.

"What's there to be sorry about? I'm very happy working here. Oh, and I made the new hot pot base myself. If it becomes a hit, I can get a good share of the profits."

"Ah? It's going to be a hit, it's going to be a hit!"

Jiang Li was frightened by this.

Such a delicious hot pot is actually made by Li Yi?

She was already feeling astonished, and now it suddenly reached a new level.

Irreplaceable!

She declared that this was the best hot pot in the world, bar none!

"If you want to eat next time, remember to come find me."

"Huh? Hmm."

Jiang Li actually wanted to say that the food here is a bit expensive, but it’s okay to treat Li Yi to a meal occasionally.

At worst, you can just save a little in normal times.

Her family did give her some money, but she used it for other things and her daily expenses were very small.

"It's best to go after midnight. I have free coupons here, so you can eat as much as you want without paying."

"Really?"

"Otherwise, I'm working here for nothing. If you don't have classes the next morning, come find me and I'll take you out to eat."

It has to be after 12 o'clock. If it's too early, the dormitory will not be closed yet.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared, otherwise why are opportunities so expensive?
Li Yi took out the bag he had brought with his cell phone and said, "You came back just in time. I just got the gift I prepared for you."

"what?"

"I see you're still using the same phone as before. The new model has come out, so you should be using the new model."

Li Yi’s first step was to proactively create some opportunities, using food as a starting point.

The second step is to reduce Jiang Li’s psychological advantage.

After all, apart from anything else, he hasn't even recouped the gift Jiang Li gave him yet. He can't miss out on the thing he cares about most just because of a small gift.

Jiang Li gave him a mobile phone, but he returned it with a better one. In this way, Jiang Li had no psychological advantage over him.

……

At this time, Yu Jing, who had just sorted out the contract, came out.

I saw Li Yi give the handbag to Jiang Li.

"?????"

"Isn't this a gift for me?"
