Chapter 245: Shazhu's First Step

When Suning returned home, his wife Zhang Ning had already prepared dinner for him. The little ones quickly put down their homework and ran out in surprise.

"Dad, you're back!"

"Haha, are you guys catching up on your homework again?"

"Brother, Jingshan and the others have a lot of homework today, so I let them finish their homework first before eating!" San Ya, who had grown into a big girl, explained with a smile.

Looking at his graceful sister-in-law and grown-up brother-in-law Erdan, Suning couldn't help but feel proud. After all, it was really not easy to raise them from the age of seven or eight to this age.

"Well! Sanya, you and Erdan should review your high school courses seriously!
As for Jingshan and the others' homework, don't ask about it!"

"Got it! Brother!"

"Brother, stop talking! Wash your hands and have dinner!" At this time, Zhang Ning smiled and invited the family to eat.

The family happily sat at the dining table and had dinner. The children were eating obediently. However, the youngest, He Jinghe, was complaining while eating.

"Dad, Mom's cooking isn't as delicious as yours!

Our family hasn't eaten your cooking for a long time!"

"Yes! Dad, you should cook dinner tomorrow!" He Jingtai on the side also echoed.

"Okay! But you have to get a score of 90 or above on your final exam!"

"Ah? My best score is only 70 points. How can I get 90 points!" He Jingtai could only explain helplessly after hearing his father's request.

"Dad, I can!" He Jinghe assured loudly.

“Haha, Jinghe is awesome!

Jingtai, you are the most mischievous one in our family and your grades are the worst!

Are you ashamed?"

"Dad, I study very hard!

But my grades just aren't as good as theirs, what can I do? "He Jingtai looked very aggrieved.

"Hehe! If you studied harder, your grades would have surpassed your sister Jinghui and the others long ago!

I see you riding your bike around the streets every day!
He Jingtai, do you really want to hang out on the street? "

"I I didn't!"

"He Jingtai, you are not allowed to ride that bicycle anymore!

If I catch you riding a bicycle again, your mother will confiscate your daily pocket money!"

"Ah? No! Dad! I don't want to ride a bike anymore!"

"Yes! And from today on, your name will be He Jingmin!"

"What?" The whole family looked at Suning in surprise.

"Brother, why did you suddenly change Jingtai's name?" Zhang Ning also looked confused.

"Today, my uncle brought me news from Hong Kong.

It is said that not long after Lou Xiao'e arrived in Hong Kong, she gave birth to twins and named them He Jingguo and He Jingtai!
Isn't this the same name as Xiao Jingtai in Beijing, so from now on Xiao Jingtai will be called He Jingmin!"

"Ah?" The family was surprised again. Zhang Ning also had a complicated expression on his face. Only the youngest He Jinghe couldn't understand and continued to eat.

Of course, Su Ning noticed his wife Zhang Ning's complicated expression and explained with a wry smile, "Zhang Ning, stop imagining this!

Lou Xiao'e has remarried!"

"Huh? I'm not imagining things!" Zhang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, then blushed and denied it, suddenly looking at Su Ning in confusion, "Brother, what if Sister Lou didn't remarry?
How are you going to arrange for the three of them?"

"Haha, if she keeps waiting for me in Hong Kong, I might change my nationality to a polygamous country!" Hearing his wife Zhang Ning's strange question, Suning looked at the curious children and whispered in Zhang Ning's ear.

"Humph! You have a nice idea!"

Of course, Suning was just joking with Zhang Ning. He had never thought about this issue before, and there is no need to think about it now, because Lou Xiaoe's remarriage solved many problems.

"Zhang Ning, the documents I need have been approved!
You will have a lot of things to do next, and you will have to go to our uncle's place to take care of them!"

"Yes! Brother, I understand!

But what about Jingguo and Jingtai in Hong Kong?"

"I'll first settle the matter in Beijing as quickly as possible, and then go to Hong Kong to bring them back to Beijing."

"I'm worried that Sister Lou might be reluctant to let me go!"

"Hey! Let's go over and take a look first!" Suning didn't know how to answer Zhang Ning's question for a moment.

"Brother, do you need me to go with you?"

"Haha, there's so much going on in the capital! You can't leave!"

"Erdan, Sanya, the college entrance exam in a few days is very important!

You must do well in the exam, it is related to your future prospects! "After talking about Lou Xiao'e, Su Ning suddenly looked at Erdan and Sanya who were thinking deeply.

"Got it! Brother!"

"Dad, we have two older brothers in Hong Kong, right?" Only then did He Jinghui have the chance to speak.

"Yes! From now on you are no longer the boss of our family!
She has become the third child in our family!" Su Ning smiled and looked at her eldest daughter He Jinghui.

"Haha, then I'm no longer the third child of the He family!
I am the fifth child of the He family! " He Jingtai was the happiest one, and he didn't feel unhappy about the name change at all.

"Haha, you little bastard!
Remember! From now on, your name will be He Jingmin!"

"Dad, I think He Jingmin sounds nice!" said the ten-year-old He Jingmin with a grin.

Looking at his son He Jingmin, who was naughty but still very sensible, Suning smiled and rubbed his son's little head with his hand.

"Dad, when you go to Hong Kong, can you bring me a game console?

I heard that Japanese game consoles are really fun! "At this moment, He Jingshan's eyes lit up and he remembered something, looking at Suning with a look of longing.

"Yeah! Okay!
However, the conditions remain the same!

Let’s take a look at your final exam results first!”

"Dad, don't worry! There will be absolutely no problem getting more than 90 points!" He Jingshan assured him while patting his chest in surprise.

After resolving the most important procedural issues, the first hotel under Huatai Group opened, and Suning named his hotel "Fengchan Tower".

Everyone in China knows the meaning of "fengshan", so the opening immediately shocked all the onlookers. Although Suning did not hold a grand opening ceremony, the title of the first private restaurant in Beijing still attracted a lot of attention.

"Fengchan Tower? What a domineering name!"

"Haha, how can I not be domineering!
The first private hotel in the whole capital, and even in the whole of China!
If you don't act domineering, you can't drive it!"

"Yes! It is said that the higher-ups have made special arrangements and completed the formalities!

It seems that the owner of "Fengchan Tower" is really rich! "

Suning was mentally prepared for the comments of the onlookers, so he was not surprised at all. He also had no time to be surprised. It was just that the name of "Fengchan Tower" was too famous. The diners who came to eat on the first day of opening had already packed the "Fengchan Tower".

Fortunately, Suning had made preparations in advance and had its employees reserve stools for customers to wait, so that the young and old men in Beijing would not be furious. Although everyone was busy, they soon got busy in an orderly manner.

The kitchen was well prepared and nothing went wrong. However, the waiters at the front desk surprised Suning as their service attitude was non-existent.

Suning realized that it opened the business too hastily and did not train its waiters in advance. In fact, the main reason was that Suning knew that its superiors only regarded its company as a test product.

If there is even the slightest mistake, the restaurant will be immediately shut down, so Suning selectively ignores the training of waiters.

However, the problems on the first day of opening made Suning determined to rectify the front desk staff and believed that they must be trained. After a busy day, after the restaurant closed, Suning went directly to the boss's home and made his request.

"Uncle, business in the store is particularly good today!
The daily turnover is over 3,000!"

"What? So many?" The senior leader who had seen the world was also shocked.

“Haha, maybe it’s because the reputation of being the first private restaurant in the country is too famous!
Many of them come here to inquire about news, but I think the trend will gradually cool down in the future!"

"Yeah! Zhuzi, what you said makes sense!"

"Uncle, today is the first day of business, and I found that the quality of the front desk staff is too poor!
There is no sense of service at all.

If I hadn't been there watching, they would have probably gotten into a fight with the guests!"

"Haha, this situation is very common!
Workers are all very irritable, and that’s understandable!”

"Uncle, you can't say that!

I think in the service industry, high-quality service is a must!"

"Hmm! Zhuzi, what do you think?"

"Uncle, I want to hire retired service personnel from the State Guest House to provide service training for the waiters at the Fengchan Tower!"

"Oh? I can actually contact the retired staff from the State Guest House.

But do you really want to treat guests as "foreign guests"? "

"Yes! There is a saying abroad that the customer is God!

I feel that in the "Fengchan Tower" the guests are "foreign guests!"

"Haha, Zhuzi, you're amazing!
This is very simple. I know a service staff who just retired from the State Guesthouse. He entertained many domestic and foreign leaders and can definitely meet your requirements!
So, tomorrow I will have her report directly to your "Fengchan Tower"!"

The next day, when Suning arrived at the Fengchan Tower, he saw a very elegant Beijing aunt waiting in the lobby. The waiter beside him hurried over to explain, "Mr. He, this aunt said she came to work in our store!"

"Okay! I understand! You can go down and get busy first!"

"Boss He, I was recommended by the senior leader to work here! My name is Chen Huifang!"

"Aunt Chen, welcome to work at our Fengchan Tower!"

"Mr. He, you're too polite!"

"Aunt Chen, come with me to the office first!

Let's talk about your salary!"

Su Ning took Aunt Chen into his office, then turned back and looked at Aunt Chen with a smile, "Aunt Chen, do you need some tea?"

"Huh? You're welcome, Mr. He! I'm not thirsty!" Aunt Chen seemed a little flattered.

"Auntie Chen, don't be too nervous!
My uncle should have told you!
Your job is to train the front desk staff of the Fengchan Tower."

"Yes! The boss has already told me!"

"Aunt Chen, we will open three more branches in Beijing.

And the three branches have already started renovations!

So we’ll need a lot of waiters next time!”

"Ah? Does Mr. He have any requirements?" Aunt Chen was a little surprised that Suning was going to open a branch soon.

"Yes! The requirement is that the waiters at the Fengchan Tower treat the guests as foreign guests, and all standards must be followed according to a state banquet!"

"What? Not really!"

"Haha, what's the matter? Aunt Chen, is this difficult?"

"It's indeed very difficult! But I don't think it's necessary!"

"Well! It's a bit difficult!

But I am very determined to train waiters!"

"Okay! I'll do my best!" Aunt Chen certainly knew that today's hotel employees have no sense of service at all.

"Aunt Chen, how much is your salary at the State Guest House?"

"Before I retired, I was a foreman at the State Guest House, and my salary was 58 yuan!"

"Well! Then I'll give you a hundred dollars a month!"

“Ah? That’s too much!

Mr. He, my salary doesn't need that much!"

"Haha, Aunt Chen, our restaurant is a private restaurant, so of course the salary will be much higher!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. He!

do not worry!
I will definitely try my best to train the waiters!"

"Yeah! I have great confidence in you!"

After solving the most important issue of employee training, Suning finally felt relieved. After all, the hotel's service is as important as the quality of the food.

Suning’s “Fengchan Tower” has been open for a week and is always crowded with customers every day, making many ambitious people in Beijing envious. However, You Fengxia next door is the most miserable.

Although the fat man's cooking skills are passable, they are by no means as good as Suning and Ma Hua. He is just struggling to keep the state-owned restaurant running.

The first private restaurant was very famous and many customers came there because of its reputation, which caused many old customers of the state-owned restaurant to leave. Every day, the employees of the state-owned restaurant were chatting listlessly.

"Manager, our restaurant has had no customers for several days?
If this continues, I don’t think we’ll be able to pay salaries!” Finally, some employees couldn’t stand the situation anymore.

"Oh! Who said the food next door is of better quality!" You Fengxia suddenly felt a headache.

"Manager, I think this He Yuzhu is such a jerk!
The capital city is so big, he could open his restaurant anywhere else, but he had to open it next to our state-owned restaurant!
Isn't this just to seduce us? " Aunt Liu considered herself You Fengxia's relative and confidant, so she spoke without any scruples.

"Enough! Third Aunt, you are the only one who talks too much!" You Fengxia quickly stopped Aunt Liu from talking nonsense.

Aunt Liu looked at the angry You Fengxia with some surprise. After all, this was the first time she scolded her, and she was not a real fool, so she quickly realized that there must be some inside story that she didn't know, so Aunt Liu just stood aside with a grim expression.

When everyone saw You Fengxia scolding her confidant, they were frightened and stopped talking, and just stood aside and sighed.

Finally, it was time to get off work. The employees of the state-owned restaurant all hurried home. When only You Fengxia and Aunt Liu were left in the restaurant, You Fengxia explained to Aunt Liu.

"Auntie San, please be careful next time!

You can't say everything out loud!

If this gets to He Yuzhu's ears, it will be of no benefit to us!"

"Fengxia, why are you afraid of him, a cook?
Let your man Liu Chuanzhi kill him!"

"Third Aunt, you don't really think He Yuzhu is just a cook, do you?

How can an ordinary chef open the first private restaurant?"

"This"

"Auntie San, you saw it too!
The business of our state-owned restaurant is getting worse and worse!
The current policies have also changed. Maybe one day we will still have to rely on He Yuzhu!"

"Huh? Probably not!"

"Oh! I also hope not!" You Fengxia shook her head helplessly, and was also full of confusion about the future.
