Chapter 511: 140: Training class, Mrs. Shangguan exposes the true faces of Lin Fang and her mother_3

Shangguan Dehui said with a smile, “You’re overthinking it.”

Shangguan Furong said, “That Lin Fang seems to have decent qualifications, and though she may not come from a wealthy background, she’s presentable. Brother, you must seize the opportunity well.”

“Mm,” Shangguan Dehui nodded.

Then Shangguan Dehui continued, “Brother, be honest with me, do you still have feelings for Daya?”

“I’ve long forgotten about her.” Shangguan Dehui said casually.

Shangguan Furong said with a smile, “If you’ve really forgotten, then why haven’t you found someone new over all these years?”

Shangguan Dehui was silent for a while, eventually not saying much.

…

During this period, having nearly finished dealing with other trivial matters including those concerning Li Xianxian, Ni Yang began to officially handle the restaurant’s affairs.

The renovation of the restaurant had already progressed by a third and was expected to open around August.

Ni Yang wanted to create a different dining experience, prioritizing service first and then the dishes.

After all, in the future there is a saying: service comes first.

In the service-indifferent ’80s, elevating the overall service level would be a unique feature.

Moreover, this time, Ni Yang was not setting up a budget restaurant, but venturing into a high-end restaurant, implementing a VIP membership system with no branches—just this one exclusive establishment.

After all, scarcity breeds value.

To elevate the overall service consciousness, there must be a distinctive corporate culture and a custom-made customer-first service manual.

Having considered this early on, whenever Ni Yang had some free time, she would be found hunched over the table, drawing and writing—indeed, what she was creating was this material.

Ni Yang indeed had the advantage of experiences from her past life; as long as the marketing strategy remained unchanged, the rest was relatively simple.

Early in the morning, Ni Yang had posted recruitment notices on the bulletin board next to the restaurant.

Just as she finished posting, people began to gather around, “The General Manager’s salary is 120 yuan, the Deputy General Manager’s salary is 100 yuan, Managers get 80 yuan, while regular waiters and food runners earn 40 yuan! Even dishwashers get 40 yuan! My goodness, am I seeing things?”

In this era, a teacher’s salary is less than 30 yuan a month, and a waiter at a state-run hotel earns just 15 yuan a month, yet here, a regular waiter’s salary goes up to 40 yuan a month! How could people not be surprised?

Ni Yang stood by and said with a smile, “You’re not seeing things—it’s really that much.”

If she wanted to offer a unique dining experience, naturally, she had to raise the wages. If everyone is getting the same salary, who would want to work themselves to the bone like a servant?

An onlooking lady then asked, “Young lady, what is your role in this restaurant?”

Ni Yang replied with a gentle smile, “I’m in charge of recruitment.”

The lady continued, “Young lady, then what position do you think would suit me?”

“How old are you?” Ni Yang asked.

“I’m 41 this year,” the lady answered.

Being 41 certainly wouldn’t work for a front-house position. Ni Yang said, “You could consider working in logistics.”

“What do logistics involve?” asked the curious lady.

“That would be cleaning and dishwashing,” Ni Yang explained.

The lady nodded, “That could work! I might not be good at other things, but I’m good at washing dishes!”

In this era, private enterprises are scarce, and it’s tough to get into state-owned units without connections, even for a dishwashing job; the lady didn’t expect that she could earn 40 yuan a month just washing dishes!

It was almost like found money.

Ni Yang handed the lady a form and a pen, “If you are interested, please fill this out, and join us the day after tomorrow morning for a medical check-up at the hospital to get a health certificate. The day after that, you can start the pre-employment training.”

Since Ni Yang was in the catering industry, health was very important.

“A medical check-up?” the lady was stunned, “Young lady, this isn’t some sort of trick to get me to do a health check, is it?”

A full-body check-up costs a yuan!

Ni Yang said with a laugh, “The cost will be covered by our restaurant, you won’t need to pay a penny.”

“Really?” the lady was a bit skeptical.

“Really,” Ni Yang nodded.

“That’s better,” continued the lady, “So what’s this training about? Is there a salary during the training period?”

“The training period lasts a month, and the salary will be paid as usual.”

“Really?” the lady was somewhat incredulous, “Is there really such a great deal in the world?”

Ni Yang smiled faintly and countered, “First, we aren’t asking you for any money, and second, we don’t want anything from you—what do you think I could deceive you out of? Besides, do you think Beijing’s police would let me openly deceive people here?”
