Nie Long, the human resources director, stood up and looked at everyone at work. He suddenly clapped his hands. After attracting everyone's attention, Nie Long coughed twice with a smile on his face, "Colleagues! Please take care of your work for the time being.
Play it for a moment! Well, I have some good news to announce, everyone, please listen carefully!"
"Director Nie, what's the good news? Tell me quickly!"
"That's right! Are you still pretending?"
"Good news? What good news?"
"Say it quickly!"
…
Everyone in the office area was asking questions.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Nie Long announced: "The good news is - we have free hot pot for lunch today!"
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Really or not?"
"Director Nie, is this your treat?"
"Director Nie, where do you plan to invite everyone to eat?"
"Director Nie! You are so handsome!"
…
The chatter was louder than before, and everyone's face was filled with joy. Who wouldn't be happy to have free hot pot?
Nie Long chuckled and clapped his hands again. Everyone saw this and subconsciously kept silent.
After the office area calmed down, Nie Long explained with a smile: "It's Mr. Xu's hot pot restaurant that is opening today! It's not my treat. If you say treat, it's Mr. Xu's treat today. He invites us all to his hot pot restaurant to eat for free.
How about a meal as a reward for everyone’s hard work in recent times? Well, by the way, it’s also a way to support Mr. Xu’s new store. Are there any colleagues who can’t spare the time and can’t go?”
"I'm going! I'm going!"
"Director Nie, count me in! I have time!"
"Director Nie, you are so bad. Who wouldn't have time for such a good thing?"
"That's right! Director Nie, we all have time! We absolutely have time."
…
There was a deep smile in Nie Long's eyes, and he asked again: "You all have time? Are you sure you have time?"
There was a positive response from all around.
Who would refuse such a good thing?
Nie Long: "Okay! Then here, I'll thank you all on behalf of Mr. Xu!"
"You're welcome! You're welcome!"
"Ha ha……"
"Invite us to hot pot and thank us? It's so cool..."
Everyone at the scene was even happier.
Then, in full view of everyone, Nie Long changed the subject: "Since everyone has time, let's pack up now. Let's set off to help Mr. Xu's new store distribute leaflets! Mr. Xu's hot pot restaurant has opened, let's
It doesn’t matter if you don’t give a gift, you have to help, right? Haha..."
Nie Long's smile reached its peak at this time, and he was smiling happily.
However, his happiness seems to be based on everyone's depression.
Many people at the scene looked stunned.
Can't believe it.
We agreed to eat hot pot for free? Why do we have to help with the work?
"Director Nie, you are so bad!"
"Director Nie, is it too late for me to quit now?"
"Zhou Cao, I know there is no such good thing in the world, but I'm treating you to hot pot for free..."
"As expected, there is no good leader!"
…
Everyone wailed.
But, in the end, no one quit.
Not to mention that just now Nie Long had repeatedly confirmed with everyone whether they were all going.
Just say that the hot pot restaurant is Mr. Xu's property. Unless they don't want to get a promotion or a salary increase, as part-time workers, on this day, Nie Long has already spoken. Can they refuse?
And, in fact, everyone's depression was more due to Nie Long's trap.
If Nie Long hadn't first said that they could eat hot pot for free, they wouldn't have been so depressed if they had just heard that they were going to help distribute leaflets.
They all felt like they were being played by Nie Long.
Everyone took the time to tidy up and went downstairs to wait for the bus.
With so many people, it’s not cost-effective to take a taxi.
at this time.
Tongdao Xu and Xueyi Zeng have arrived at Datong Food Street.
Because it was still early, there were not many pedestrians in this food street, so the popularity was average.
The weather is good today. Although it is early, the rising sun has already risen in the east, and the sun is shining on me, making it very warm.
They came by car.
The car had just parked in the parking lot next to the food street, and now I was walking to the hot pot restaurant.
Before we arrived at Ximen Yipin Hotpot Restaurant, we saw from a distance that General Manager Fu Yuan was instructing several people to place flower baskets downstairs.
The flower baskets are placed in two rows at the entrance of the stairs, which are very conspicuous.
The red ribbons on the flower basket look festive.
There is a red carpet between the two rows of flower baskets, which makes it even more eye-catching.
Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi walked closer. Fu Yuan saw them and trotted over immediately, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Zeng, you are here so early? Please come quickly and go upstairs to sit down and have some tea first."
!”
Tongdao Xu and Xueyi Zeng both had smiles on their lips.
Tong Xu said: "Mr. Fu, you don't have to greet me. You can go do your business. We can just go upstairs by ourselves."
Zeng Xueyi nodded in greeting.
Fu Yuan: "Okay, okay!"
He promised, but immediately turned around and said hello, "Wang Chen! Wang Chen, come and accompany Mr. Xu. Mr. Zeng goes upstairs, hurry up! Hurry up!"
Therefore, Wang Chen had not seen Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi just now. When he heard the sound, he was startled and saw that Xu Tongdao and Zeng Xueyi were coming, and he immediately ran over.
…
Come upstairs.
All I saw were busy figures.
Two female cashiers wearing white skirts and black skirts were placing various drinks on the wine rack behind the cashier.
Waiters wearing red skirts and black skirts were wiping tables, setting tableware, sweeping, mopping, etc. in the hall.
Looking from a distance, in the kitchen deep in the hall, through the transparent glass wall, one can see people in white coats busy working inside.
No one is idle, everyone is busy.
Comrade Xu stood next to the cashier. While looking at everyone's busy figures, he asked Wang Chen beside him, "Vice President Wang, how are you doing with the preparations? Are there any problems?"
Wang Chen smiled brightly and shook his head quickly after hearing this, "No, no! Mr. Xu, don't worry. According to your instructions, our store is over-staffed and has sufficient manpower. All preparations have been done. Don't look at it now.
Everyone is very busy. In fact, if you look carefully, you can see that everyone is busy but not in a hurry. In order to open today, we have held a meeting every night for the past few days. Mr. Fu has made arrangements for all the issues that can be thought of.
.”
Comrade Xu was noncommittal.
Just believe it.
He had worked as a chef for several years before he was reborn. He knew this line of work. No matter how nice he said it, it was useless. Whether the preparations were done well or whether there were any problems when the passenger flow peak came, you could see it right away.
"Well, go ahead and do your work! I'll go to the kitchen and take a look!"
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Wang Chen agreed and said to Comrade Xu, Zeng Xueyi nodded and went downstairs.
Tongdao Xu led Zeng Xueyi through the hall and into the kitchen.
As soon as I walked in, I saw two large stainless steel barrels spewing water steam.
Each large barrel is more than one meter high and at least seventy or eighty centimeters in diameter.
As the steam puffed out, Comrade Xu sniffed his nose and smelled the aroma of bone soup.
