EP 404. The store is short of people

After making a call to Stark and asking about the preparation progress of the press conference, Shi Xiaolei turned his attention back to the store after confirming that he was not needed for the time being.

Compared to helping Stark, things in the store are more urgent and need to be dealt with urgently.

It's not that there is any serious situation. If Shi Xiaolei, the store manager, doesn't come forward, the store will close down... In fact, it's just a matter of expanding manpower. It is the kind of situation that cannot be left alone, but no matter how serious it is, it is not serious.

"Everyone, please have a rest." Seeing the last guest leave, Shi Xiaolei went back to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and brought out a large basin of freshly chilled mung bean soup.

While greeting everyone, Shi Xiaolei ordered to Kang Na who was helping Skye and cleaning the table together: "What about that, Kang Na, go and turn over the sign outside, it will save you a while for another customer to come in."

"Oh~." Kangna, wearing a children's apron, agreed, opened the glass door and ran out.

Through the crack of the open door, a wave of heat surged into the room, bringing an unpleasant dryness.

"It's so hot today."

"Yes." He agreed, looking at Skye who was walking over hand in hand with Kang Na, Shi Xiaolei asked with concern: "Skye, is it not warm to live in the cabin upstairs? It's so hot, don't be reluctant to open it. Air conditioning is not worth it if you suffer from heat stroke.”

"Yeah." Nodding, Skye smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay. It's not that hot after dark."

"Anyway, be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, say it in time. Don't hide it."

"I know."

While talking, 2B had already filled several bowls of mung bean soup with a spoon and handed them to everyone sitting around the table.

It's not like ice-cold Coke or Sprite. You can experience the cooling feeling after taking a few sips and burping. It also doesn't have the irritating feeling caused by pulling your throat. However, it is better to quench your thirst than to quench the heat. The mung bean soup cooked slowly over low heat is better.

"Ha~~~Comfortable!" He held the bowl and drank heavily. In just three to five seconds, Chappell had already finished the mung bean soup all night long.

"Wow, Chappell is so awesome~!"

"...Don't you even chew it?"

Because of Chapel's devouring food, Kangna showed respect, and Skye also gave him an 'admiring' look.

"Hehe." Wiping the corner of his mouth, Chappell handed the bowl to 2B. While asking for "one more bowl," he winked at the two little girls triumphantly: "You're a rookie, aren't you? Let me teach you. Let me teach you what is the correct way to drink mung bean soup. First, don’t ask for a little thick soup. First, drink a bowl of soup to quench your thirst and heat. Have a thicker bowl, slowly enjoy the mung beans boiled into pulp, and carefully taste the taste..."

"You're pretty good at enjoying it." Looking at Chappell with a pouty look on his face, Shi Xiaolei became happy.

"That's right. At any rate, I'm a good cook now." Chappell didn't blush at all: "As a cook, there's no way he doesn't know how to eat. Boss, don't you think so."

"Speaking of cooks..." As she spoke, Claire stretched out her arms, scooped two pieces of crushed ice from the ice bucket Lisa carried, and put them into her own small bowl: "Chappell, you mentioned last time What did that friend say?”

"Um?"

"Did you forget? Didn't the boss say last week that he was recruiting people and asked us to ask our friends?" Because of Chappell's forgetfulness, Claire rolled her eyes: "You said you have a buddy who is looking for a job recently. Can you introduce him to come here and give it a try? How's it going? Has he found a job? Is he still planning to apply?"

"Uh, oh." After being reminded by Claire, Chappell reacted: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Forget it, that guy fell in love with a girl two days ago and went to work in the cafe where the girl worked. ”

"That means he won't come over?"

"Yeah." Nodding, Chappell lowered his head, took a spoonful of thick mung bean paste from the bottom of his bowl and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's okay if you don't come... Now think about it, that guy is a bit unreliable, his mouth is It’s very broken. I’m used to it, so it doesn’t matter. If it comes, I guess you won’t be able to bear it.”

"Lisa, Claire." After hearing what Chappell said, Shi Xiaolei turned his attention to the two girls: "Have you contacted the right people?"

Counting from the end of the year, more than five months have passed.

Different from last year, in the first half of this year, I was often not in the store. Most of the time, only Chappell and four people were watching in the store.

Although Chappell has already graduated and can take on the work of the kitchen, and although the addition of Skye can help Lisa and Claire share some of the pressure, in the end, they are the only four young people busy in such a large store. The manpower is still a little short.

As a boss, Shi Xiaolei is still very conscientious.

Giving the four people a salary increase was just one thing. On the other hand, he didn't want to see a few of them get tired because they were too busy... Chappell, Lisa and Claire were just paying it forward. The key was Skye. That girl is not yet an adult, and it is the time when her body is growing. If the workload is too heavy and she is too tired to grow, it will really be unreasonable.

We need to expand our staff and add more people to the store.

Considering the atmosphere in the store and his secrets that were not suitable to be exposed, Shi Xiaolei did not go directly to post a notice outside the store. Instead, he asked Lisa and the three of them first to see if they had any suitable friends who could introduce them. ——If they are friends who have known each other for a long time, then at least they don’t have to worry about getting along with the new people after they join. Moreover, friends know each other well, so it is easier to choose those who can keep secrets.

I didn’t mean to give anything, I just thought this arrangement would be better, so I did it.

But from the standpoint of Lisa and the three of them, Shi Xiaolei's move was equivalent to giving them a chance to do favors.

After all, the wages in the store are much higher than the average, and there are often opportunities to rest. Compared with working in other restaurants, working here not only makes more money, but the work is also much easier. For migrant workers living at the bottom of society, working in this store is definitely a good choice.

"I have two friends here who seem to be quite suitable." Unlike Chappell, who was heartless, Lisa still took this matter very seriously.

Claire's attitude was the same. No, following Lisa, she also looked at Shi Xiaolei seriously and gave her own answer: "I also know a few people. If you can't recruit anyone, you can ask them to come over." Try it.”
