Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 298 Some Things Must Be Done

Xiao Hong looked at Xiao Wei's sweet smile and said, "That's amazing, isn't it? Be envious!"

Xiao Wei said, "Never pretend to know what you don't, understand? That will only hurt you. But you can't let others see that you don't know. You're the boss, so just talk less and don't reveal your ignorance easily. If you don't understand something, just hand it over to someone who does. Learn slowly by watching, listening to reports, and observing more."

Chen Hui nodded and said, "Understood."

Xiao Wei said, "Li Na and Sister Jin, we've known each other for a long time and are friends, but don't act too casually here. Don't show off in front of the other employees, understand? You're the boss. I'm not saying you're afraid of people, but you should at least respect them from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise, things will fall apart over time, and people will become disunited. Actually, I'm really worried about your personality."

Chen Hui said, "I don't usually have much contact with the people below me. My mother told me that, so don't worry."

Xiao Wei said, "When you're a boss, don't be a pushover. Once the rules are set, they have to be followed. There's no room for negotiation, understand? You have to be fair. But you can't be too harsh either. Rewards and punishments have to be clear, and they have to be based on reason and evidence. You can't just do whatever you want." He suddenly frowned and noticed that a girl standing a little further away seemed a bit unhappy because he and Chen Hui had been talking and ignoring them. She frowned and muttered something.

Chen Hui said, "I think I'm a bit lacking in this area, but I can control it. If it really doesn't work, I'll just stay out of it and leave it to Li Na and Sister Jin."

Xiaowei said, "If you're going to pretend, you have to do it properly. You can punish them according to the rules, or give the money to the two of them. But you have to step in to give them rewards. You have to let the people below know who gave them the money, understand? And Xiaohui, let me tell you, once the rules are set, you have to follow them here, understand? If you break them yourself, no one else will take them seriously, and things will fall apart in the end. This is very important, you have to remember that."

Chen Hui nodded, and Xiao Wei said, "Alright, let them come over and fill out the forms."

Chen Hui said, "Come over and fill out the forms carefully, especially the family and contact information. This way, we can find your family members if anything happens." He took out the prepared forms and pens and put them on the table.

The girls came over, took forms and pens, found seats, and started filling them out.

Li Na and Sister Wei Yunjin had finished leading the family members on the tour, and the group came downstairs. The family members seemed quite satisfied, whispering among themselves as they walked, all with smiles on their faces.

After the girls filled out the forms and handed them back, Xiaowei collected them all and said, "That's settled then. You've all written down your phone numbers or contact information, right? You can go back now. We'll call you this afternoon."

Chen Hui said, "Those who were notified this afternoon should come at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Those who want to move in can move in immediately, and those who don't want to move in yet are also fine, but you can't be late or leave early. Do you understand?"

A girl said, "Boss, I wrote my home address on the document, but we don't have a phone or pager. What should I do?"

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui were both stunned for a moment. They were so used to making phone calls whenever they wanted that they forgot that at that time, telephones were still a luxury. Almost no ordinary people had telephones at home, and not everyone had a pager, since it cost thousands of yuan.

Xiao Wei looked at Chen Hui, and Chen Hui was also looking at Xiao Wei. The two of them laughed together. Xiao Wei scratched his head and said, "Never mind, you guys sit down for a while, we'll discuss it right away."

The girls went to sit down to the side, and Chen Hui asked Xiao Wei, "What do we do?"

Xiao Wei said, "Actually, it's fine with anyone, but the third to last one just now, she was the only one who seemed a little unhappy after standing there for a while. She muttered a few words. I don't think her personality and temperament are suitable for being a waitress. I can't tell anything about the others yet."

Chen Hui flipped through the form and asked, "Which one?"

Xiao Wei took the form, flipped through it, pulled out the girl's, looked at it, and said, "This one, let me see. Li Na called her over. She used to work at another restaurant."

Chen Hui said, "Then don't bother, we've already called too many people." He took the form and looked at it, saying, "Should we ask Li Na to tell her?"

Xiao Wei said, "No, we can't call Li Na the bad guy. Let me tell you, I'll say it." He raised his voice and said, "Li Shufang."

The girl stood up and said, "Yes, that's me."

Xiao Wei waved for her to come over, and Li Shufang moved her chair and came over. Xiao Wei said, "I'm sorry, Li Shufang, we can't hire so many people at once. We'll contact you again if we need to hire more people in the future."

Li Shufang's expression changed several times, and she asked, her face slightly flushed, "Why?"

Xiao Wei said, "We definitely have our standards. It's not that you're bad. We only planned to hire fifteen people this time, but look, more than twenty have come. We have to pay salaries, right? Sorry, we'll definitely contact you when we need to hire more people."

Li Shufang gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening. She glanced at Xiao Wei a few times, snatched the form from Chen Hui's hand, turned and left, her retreating figure showing signs of tears. The other girls looked over, all a little nervous. The family members sitting to the side also stared wide-eyed. Finding a job these days wasn't easy, and most jobs were hard work for low pay. This restaurant was clearly a place for the wealthy; how could a job here be bad? So they were even more nervous than the interviewees.

Who doesn't want the best for their own child?

Chen Hui watched Li Shufang's retreating figure and said, "Why do I feel so uncomfortable? It's like we've done something wrong."

Xiao Wei bit his lip and said, "Actually, I don't feel good either. It's my first time doing this, but Li Shufang's personality is really not suitable for this job. She'll definitely pick on us and start arguments. This is a place where dozens of people live together and we have to serve customers."

Chen Hui sniffed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, she's already gone. To be honest, if you hadn't been here, I definitely would have kept her here today."

Xiao Wei said, "Now it's not normal. When you're doing business, sometimes you have to force yourself to do things that go against your conscience. That's the bottom line. You have to be able to do it, otherwise you won't be able to do business for long."

Chen Hui sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's tell them to leave. The people in the kitchen are still waiting."

Xiao Wei sighed, held the remaining forms in his hand for a moment, and said to the remaining girls, "Any of you who want to stay here, please let me know now."

The girls were all stunned for a moment, exchanged glances, and one girl raised her right hand and asked, "Boss, are we... are we all staying?"

Xiao Wei nodded and said, "Let's all stay. It's not easy for anyone. As for Li Na, Li Shufang is the one whose personality doesn't suit us. She's the kind of person who's prone to causing trouble. With so many of us living together, there's bound to be a lot of things going to happen, so we didn't keep her."

Li Na nodded and said, "I know, it's okay. She's not a bad person, but she's been spoiled by her family, so she does cause a lot of trouble."
