Good people will be rewarded, and bad people will be punished. God can see it. This is certain. Otherwise, how can ordinary people live if God doesn't open their eyes?
One day at the end of December 2019, Qin Haixiao returned to the provincial capital from Wuhan like a lost dog, and returned to his parents' home, which was of course also his home.
The two bosses in Wuhan did not lie to him. They did give him a high salary and benefits, and rented a house. However, he did not have a team. He could not conquer the world by himself. At the same time, he could not train the people he hired, and others were dissatisfied.
He could only walk away in disgrace in the end.
This is the result of underestimating one's own abilities. I don't know how many bowls of rice I have eaten after working as a head chef for a few days.
The reason why he thrives in Aqiao is because it is a team that has already been built and everything is ready-made. As long as the management does not deviate, there is almost no need to worry about it. But Wuhan is different, everything has to be done from scratch.
Although he has the imprint of Ah Qiao in his head, it is difficult to bring it out, because after all, he did not create it himself and has no experience.
He did not dare to return to Changsha for fear of being laughed at.
I didn't dare to call Liu Yang, knowing that calling him would be in vain as he had already been blocked.
To use a sarcastic saying, he lost his wife and lost his army, and it was his own fault.
The news of Qin Tsunami's resignation from Wuhan soon spread to Changsha, and then to the provincial capitals, Hohhot, Beijing and Suzhou. There are those who regret it, and there are those who gloat about it, and most of them don't care about it. It seems that
I had expected this day for him.
When Zhongqing in the provincial capital found out, he immediately issued a notice that no one from Aqiao was allowed to introduce him to work.
Zhongqing was also angry, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. His younger brother Hua Qing was hit on the head by job hopper Du Haipeng and fell unconscious. He lay on the bed like a vegetable. How could he not get angry?
At this time, Qin Haixiao, who had also changed jobs, returned to the provincial capital and was getting into trouble with him. It would be strange not to take it out on him. He couldn't take it out on Du Haipeng. He was in the detention center and was about to go to jail.
Before a person is strong enough, he should just stay on the platform. This is the most basic rule of survival.
The time soon came to 2020, and Lao Tan and his son returned to their hometown on the Laba Festival, the 2nd day of the first lunar month. It was his mother’s birthday three days later, and he and his son came back to wish the old lady a birthday.
Mother's birthday was as lively as ever, with many relatives, friends, and neighbors coming.
As the old saying goes: Thirty years ago you respected your father and your son; thirty years later you respected your son and your father.
People respect some dogs and bite ugly ones.
When you are poor in the streets, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.
I remember that when Lao Tan's family was poor, they had these relatives, but no one cared about their family. In order to borrow 50 yuan for his fifth sister to go to school, Lao Tan had to run for a whole day. He had to go to ten relatives and was looked down upon by ten families before he could borrow it. This shows that the world is in a cold state.
Humanity is indifferent.
Now Lao Tan is in business, Fifth Sister is in business, all five sister's families are in business, and all relatives are relatives. Especially those people in the mother's natal family know that there is this aunt, or grand aunt.
The fifth sister is a well-known figure in the city’s education circles, and her words carry weight. Which of these relatives has children who are not in school? Especially nowadays, special emphasis is placed on children’s education, so many people came to wish the old lady a birthday with a flattering attitude.
Also, the old lady’s two eldest grandsons are now managers of tobacco stations in their respective towns. In order to sell their tobacco leaves at a higher grade when delivering cigarettes, many flue-cured tobacco farmers came to wish the old lady a happy birthday as a token of appreciation.
Mind.
In addition, many relatives and friends have people working in Aqiao, including many families in the village and Sanliwutun, as well as their relatives and friends.
Ah Qiao's good reputation spread among them, and someone in the family worked there to make money, so it was natural that the old lady would come to celebrate her birthday.
When it comes to returning to the Qi, the old lady has a good reputation and prestige. She has suffered and been poor all her life, but she has a good reputation. She raised six children by begging for food, and she was so poor that she also trained the only college student in the village. Speaking of which, it is called
People give thumbs up.
After celebrating his mother's birthday, Lao Tan and his son stayed until the Chinese New Year before returning to the provincial capital.
Perhaps it was foresight, but of course it included his judgment of the current situation. When Lao Tan first entered the twelfth lunar month, he communicated with Yanhua, Zhang Yu, and Yanzi, and planned not to make reservations for the New Year's Eve dinner this year, but to follow the national statutory holidays and have a seven-day holiday during the Spring Festival.
, telling employees to go home and have a good New Year.
It is not an easy decision to make. Everyone in the catering industry knows that the Spring Festival is the time when sales are the highest. It would be a fool not to open during the holiday.
There are three reasons given by Lao Tan:
First, the overall sales situation this year is very good, I have made a lot more money, and the profit is enough;
Second, we have always said that we are people-oriented and treat employees as family members. During the Chinese New Year, we should give employees a holiday to go home for the Chinese New Year, which is reasonable and reasonable;
Third, the sales volume is indeed the highest before the Spring Festival, but high sales volume does not mean high profits. The price of raw materials soars during the Spring Festival every year, almost twice the usual level, and cost pressure increases greatly.
Also, as long as the business is open, employees have to be given three times their wages, and they have to give out red envelopes when they are 30 years old. This is a lot of money, plus the high cost of rising raw material prices. If the reservation is not large, you will lose money.
The main reason why businesses open during the Spring Festival every year is because they are afraid that if they give employees a holiday, they may not come back when the business is open. The most difficult thing to find now is employees. Many stores have been renovated and have been unable to open because they cannot recruit employees.
normal phenomenon.
There is also the fear of losing customers during the Spring Festival holiday. This is a worry and concern for new stores. Stores that have established a brand have little to worry about. As long as they open, there will be people and old customers will come back.
In summary, Lao Tan decided to take a holiday during the Spring Festival. First, he asked his employees to go home to celebrate the Chinese New Year. You must know that some store managers and chefs have not spent the Spring Festival at home for four or five years, which is a bit unreasonable.
Secondly, this is also an anti-marketing strategy, setting a precedent for giving employees a holiday during the Spring Festival, creating an impact in the catering circle, and earning a good reputation. You must know that a restaurant can only survive long if it has a good reputation in the restaurant circle, and everything is its own.
Support your own people.
This decision is not a bold one. Fortunately, Yanhua, Zhang Yu, and Yanzi are all understanding people and fully trust Lao Tan. After careful consideration, they all agreed.
When the decision was issued as a notice in the group, the entire employee circle was excited. Not only the employees, but also the managers who had been on the front line were excited, and some even shouted "long live!"
There is no doubt that this is a correct decision and has won the support of the people.
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, when Lao Tan got three months' worth of medicine from an old Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing and went to the train station to return to the provincial capital, he found that the situation was different from when he arrived - he had to wear a mask when entering the station.
Lao Tan first bought a mask and put it on. At the same time, he asked the mask seller what was going on. The mask seller said that an epidemic, novel coronavirus pneumonia, had been discovered in Wuhan.
"New coronavirus pneumonia? What? Is it similar to SARS?" Lao Tan asked.
"I don't know, you can ask others." After the mask seller finished speaking, he continued to sell one and stopped talking to Lao Tan.
Lao Tan entered the station with doubts, checked his tickets and got on the train. All the passengers in the train were wearing masks, and they immediately entered a tense atmosphere.
