The 5th store of Ximen Road Internet Cafe opposite the main gate of Shuifiao Teachers College was officially opened.
Xu Tongdao and Ge Lianghua came over early in the morning. The cashier was one of the two girls that Xu Tongdao recruited from his hometown. She was a young woman with a junior high school education. She was less than thirty. She had been married to their village for about five or six years and had given birth a few years ago.
My baby has long passed the lactation period.
Why emphasize that she is past the lactation period?
Because Xu Tongdao believes that this is an advantage. If nothing happens, young women who have passed the lactation period can stay with him for a long time.
This new Internet cafe was under Ge Lianghua's single-handed control, from location selection to decoration to ordering computers, etc. Tongdao Xu himself did not have much involvement and only visited a few times occasionally.
Facts have proved that Ge Lianghua did a good job and made no mistakes.
Thirty-five brand-new computers were displayed in the lobby, and around 10:30 in the morning, the seats were packed.
What does this mean?
Comrade Xu felt that this showed that Ge Lianghua did not cut corners when it came to publicity, and he did a very good job, and the publicity was in place.
Even the cashiers Li Cui and Xu who officially started working on the first day today are not worried about her business ability.
Because in the past eight days, Li Cui has been rotating in four other branches to learn and practice. As for why he has to rotate in four branches?
This is another consideration of Tongdao Xu - the cashiers who work in several Internet cafes under his name do not have any holidays at all. It is like being in prison. They have to stay in the Internet cafe almost 24 hours a day. Although he gives them
The wages were paid and they had no complaints.
But he compared his feelings with others and felt that they must be eager to take a break.
Therefore, during the eight days of training Li Cui, he arranged for Li Cui to rotate among the four branches, just in time to give the cashiers of those four stores a short vacation.
The cashiers at those four stores were very surprised by this.
Tongdao Xu thinks it's good and thinks that this arrangement can become a routine in the future. He plans to make this arrangement every time he trains new employees before opening a new Internet cafe.
Those people working for him definitely want to make money.
But besides making money, who doesn’t want to take a day or two off occasionally?
Computers can run 24 hours a day, but humans are not computers after all and need to rest.
Not only do you need rest physically, you also need it mentally.
…
There is a small park near the Waterfowl Division.
After lunch that day, Ge Lianghua asked Comrade Xu if he wanted to go to the park for a walk. Just think of it as a walk to eat after dinner.
Comrade Xu saw that the Internet cafe was still full and the business was very good, so he hummed and followed Ge Lianghua to the small park.
When passing by a convenience store, Ge Lianghua turned in and bought two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Xu Tongdao.
The two of them were walking in the park. Ge Lianghua looked at Comrade Xu's dull expression and couldn't help but ask: "Xiaodao, the business of the new store is so good today, why don't you seem unhappy? Are you still thinking about Bu Yinghui?"
Tongdao Xu glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said in a calm voice, "No, you are overthinking."
His mood has indeed been low in the past eight days.
Not only Ge Lianghua and others noticed this, but Comrade Xu himself also knew it.
"Then why are you unhappy? The business of the new Internet cafe is so good."
Ge Lianghua asked.
Xu Tongdao squinted at a small pavilion not far away and replied casually: "No matter how happy you are, if you have experienced it five times, do you think you can still get excited?"
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this statement, and it seems to make sense.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this was not the truth.
The truth is - Bu Yinghui's departure did affect his mood.
I can't say that I miss her that much, I just feel that my recent life is all about business, which is too monotonous and lacks reasons to be happy.
Life has become a bit boring.
Ge Lianghua didn't ask any more questions, smiled, and changed the subject, "Well, Xiaodao, do you still plan to open a new Internet cafe?"
Tongdao Xu agreed, "Let's open it! This year's goal is to continue to expand. We will open as many branches as we can, so we will definitely open a new Internet cafe."
Ge Lianghua smiled and asked: "So, when do you plan to open the next new Internet cafe? How about I go out to find a suitable venue in the past two days? Which school do you think we should open near this time?"
While talking, the two of them walked past a bench without stopping. Xu Tongdao paused, walked to the bench and sat down.
Seeing this, Ge Lianghua also came over and sat down next to him.
Ge Lianghua looked at Tongdao Xu, and Tongdao Xu looked at the vehicles and pedestrians on the street outside the park, shaking his head slightly, "Wait a moment! We still have a little money left, next month! If everything goes well, we will start next month
Let’s prepare a new Internet cafe.”
After a pause, Comrade Xu withdrew his gaze and looked at Ge Lianghua, "By the way, how is my sister-in-law doing recently? Are she and the child okay? Why don't you go back and see her while you are not busy for the next period of time? By the way,
Stay with her?"
"She's fine. I called her last night. She and the child are fine. Well, okay! Since you said so, hehe, I'll clean up tonight and go back tomorrow.
How many days? How many days of leave will you give me? Hmm?"
When talking about his wife, children and holidays, Ge Lianghua had a bright smile on his face, which caught Comrade Xu's eyes and made him envious.
"That's good! Just watch Hugh! It won't take more than a week. You can take a few days' rest if you want. When you're done, we'll prepare a new Internet cafe when you come back!"
"Really? Haha, you really give me a week's holiday? Don't go back on your word!"
Ge Lianghua's face was filled with surprise.
Tongdao Xu lowered his head and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, raised his head and took a few sips. He smiled slightly and said, "What are you regretting? What's the big deal? Don't say that you are my cousin. Even if you are not, just because your wife is pregnant, I have to give you a holiday."
Ah! It sounds like I am Zhou Papi.
When you go back, remember to buy more food and supplies for your sister-in-law, and say more nice things. She may not be emotionally stable during her pregnancy, so don't talk back to her and make her happy!"
Ge Lianghua looked at Xu Tongdao in surprise, "Huh? Do you know all this? I don't know, when I heard you say that, I thought you were from here! Why do you feel that you have also been married? And you have been a father? Haha...
"
Comrade Xu laughed at himself.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
He was indeed married in his previous life, but unfortunately, he never became a father.
The reason why he knew that pregnant women were emotionally unstable was because he had heard about it in his previous life.
…
Five days later, Ge Lianghua came back from vacation and brought good news to Comrade Xu - Ge Liangcai was getting married.
The time is set for Children’s Day this year.
and a woman named Wang Lan.
Ge Lianghua also said: "I heard that this Wang Lan and my brother were former classmates. They are average-looking, but I heard that my family is quite rich."
