Chapter 466 : Disagreement

Even though the restaurant was closed that day, Hu Zi Old Gao and I were still busy buying food, wine and some cooked food.

Du Ling became the new waitress in our restaurant. Old Gao and I had no objections, but when Hu Zi came up with the next proposal, I had some disagreements in my heart.

Hu Zi said that Shi Yuan had already introduced three waiters to him, and Hu Zi wanted to keep all three girls, so with Du Ling, the restaurant would be four waiters.

Before that, there were only xiaoyi and Xiaolian. Of course, Hu Zi and I, as well as the senior three, could do anything. We didn't even care about the hardest and most tiring work.

When there were eight of us, I thought we could get busy too, so I don't understand why Hu Zi wanted four waiters, which doubled in number.

Old Gao voiced my question and asked, "Why are there so many waiters at once?"

Hu Zi seemed to have made up his mind. He started to tell Old Gao and me about his plan.

Hu Zi said, "The reason I want four waiters is so that we can relax. We are the boss, but we are working harder than the employees. It's almost a year, and we should take a break."

"We are the boss!" I expressed my opinion to Hu Zi and said, "But we are not achieving fame and glory now. We are in a period of struggle. If we can't even endure this hardship, then what else can we talk about?"

"It's not a matter of whether we suffer or not. You can calculate how long our restaurant has been open. In about three months, our restaurant will be open for a year. Do you think we haven't suffered enough?"

I don't deny it, but I still don't agree with Hu Zi's idea of hiring four waiters at once. I still hope to save on labor costs, even if it makes me work more.

"It's not that I don't want to suffer, but I think that if we want to do something, we shouldn't be carrying plates and washing bowls all day long. We shouldn't be led by this restaurant. We should look further. We shouldn't just be satisfied with this Xingyun hotel, right? This is just our starting point, we should continue to move forward. If we all focus on this restaurant, we don't even have time to think, we will become satisfied, content with the current situation, and don't want to make progress, our pace will slow down, and even may be eliminated the next step. The competition is too strong now, we must have the intention to move forward, stop, then we are regressing! A restaurant will either get better or worse. It won't always be like this."

Hu Zi said so much in one breath, then called out and continued, "Xing Yun, Old Gao, it's time for us to take a new step. Don't you want to see the second Xingyun hotel and the third Xingyun hotel in Pucheng? We were passionate about making Xing Yun a brand, about making the name famous in Pucheng, and even going forward."

Hu Zi said all his thoughts. To be honest, I have to admit that Hu Zi made a lot of sense. It's not like before. Now the competition is too big, the people live on food, and there are restaurants everywhere. It can be said that every month, or perhaps every week, there will be new restaurants in Pucheng. When those new and beautiful decoration and elegant style separate a group of guests, there will always be fewer guests in some restaurants.

And there were countless restaurants that disappeared after a period of time.

So we can't be content with the status quo!

I was silent, thinking about Hu Zi's words.

Old Gao said from the side, "Hu Zi, what do you mean?"

Hu Zi replied, "Now all we have to do is take care of our employees and manage them. We don't have to be as tired as dogs every day, so we have the energy to do other things. And I think we should start working on our own Xingyun hotel construction plan."

"Now?" Old Gao asked in surprise.

"Not now, but we really should start planning."

"Is it too urgent?" I frowned.

Hu Zi shook his head and said, "If we don't avoid ourselves, we will never advance. If we don't force ourselves, how can we know how much potential we have?"

"But I think we should run this restaurant well before we think about the next one." I added.

"Isn't it good now? I think the Xingyun hotel is very stable now. I think it's time for us to open a new store and stimulate our customers."

"But I don't think it's time yet."

At this moment, Hu Zi was filled with a kind of warm blood, but I was extraordinarily rational, or rather weak, I think it is not the time to open the next store, perhaps compared to Hu Zi, my attitude is too stable, but I still think it is better to take it slow.

Hu Zi looked at me and asked, "When do you think it's time to open the next store?"

I don't know how to answer Hu Zi's question.

"We will never be 100 % ready." Hu Zi continued, "I didn't say we should start building the next hotel right now. I just said we should bring up the plan. And now the key is still the only restaurant, but we have to make some changes, so I want to hire four waiters. This is the beginning of the change. Let's do it bit by bit, bit by bit."

The three of us sat together and discussed for a long time, but no one was able to convince anyone. In the end, Hu Zi said, "Since that's the case, then just do as we said. Vote."

I looked at Hu Zi and Old Gao. This was indeed our original agreement. If there were any disputes between the three of us, we would raise our hands and vote. If there were three of us, we could not abstain, then there would always be a result.

Would you like to hire four waiters?

The answer is...

Yes!

So, we decided to hire four waiters.

It clashed with my personal plan, so for a moment, I couldn't get used to it. I still felt too anxious.

I don't blame Hu Zi and Old Gao. I just don't like it. I wish I could think the same way as Hu Zi Old Gao. That's great. I don't have to be so conflicted. I don't like our differences, but I can't be selfish. I have to respect their opinions.

It's just that there are two more waiters than before. What's the big deal? That way, the three of us will be much more relaxed. I won't be stuck in the restaurant like before. I'll have time to go after dinger.

Ding Ge.

Ding Ge hasn't come back yet and hasn't called me.

At this moment, I really hope that Ding Ge can be by my side. I want to find someone to talk to. Maybe it will make my heart feel much better. But I can't talk to Hu Zi and Old Gao about this, so I feel a little scared.

In the evening, I called Ding Ge. The two of them didn't say much. Ding Ge told me that Li Xiaowei had given birth. I froze for a moment and just said "Oh."

Li xiaowei was born. I didn't ask the boys and girls. I thought it would be better if I knew as little as possible. It would make me feel better. But Li Xiaowei lent me five thousand yuan. It was a reality. When she paid me back one day, it was better not to let Hu Zi know.

It would be better for them not to see each other again.

Sometimes if you don't want to see her, it's really the best ending!

Hanging up the phone, I wanted to drink alone, but I wasn't in the mood.

I tried to make myself think about the good side. Hu Zi was right. We need to change. Change always means better.

That night, Shi Yuan came over with the three girls he introduced. Shi Yuan introduced them one by one. Hu Zi took a form for them to register, then the two sides talked about salary and working hours. Finally, the three girls agreed to come to the hotel tomorrow.

Just like that, the four waiters, all together.

Just two more waiters. I thought there was no difference, but I was wrong.

The next day, all four waitresses went to work.

The restaurant started a new day!

I wanted to be as busy as I used to be, but I realized that when I wanted to entertain the guests, there were already waiters in the past, and it was not my turn to do it. Hu Zi even whispered in my ear that I could watch them, so I just watched them busy.

Perhaps it was the first day of work, everyone was very serious, and plus the boss here, the staff wanted to leave a good impression on the boss, especially Du Ling, the first day of work, but this girl really impressed me.

She was really serious about her work. She moved very fast and didn't drag her feet. She put all her energy into her work and didn't slack off at all. She looked very hardworking and steadfast.

It's not that the other three girls can't work, but people are afraid of comparison. If compared to Du Ling, they are not as good as Du Ling.

I stood in the restaurant and sighed in boredom.

I was used to the busy life before, so I suddenly relaxed. I was really not used to it. I felt bored in the familiar restaurant.

In the past, there was no time to feel bored here.

I went to the backyard by myself, as if I knew I was bored. Hu Zi came over too, quickly cleaned up a table, moved a few chairs (the old ones left by the restaurant before), then Old Gao came over with two plates, and then Hu Zi brought a few bottles of beer, and put them all on the table.

Hu Zi looked at me with a bottle in his hand and said, "Drink some?"

I smiled. It was noon. It used to be the busiest time of the day. Now, can we sit in the backyard and drink?

But do I have a choice?

I walked over and the three of them sat down separately. Hu Zi brought a bottle of beer to me and said, "You just have to get used to it. You can just watch in the restaurant from now on. They're busy with them. Xing Yun, Old Gao, we've been busy for so long. It's time to take a breath. In the future, it's time to relax. It's time to relax. We don't even have time for entertainment. We're not rich now, but we have money. We should be good to ourselves. Our bodies are our own. We don't care who cares, do we? In the future, you should play and have fun. The better the days will be, and you can do it."

The three of them clinked their glasses as before.

Drinking a bitter beer that tasted familiar and looked at Hu Zi and Old Gao, I couldn't help but smile. No matter how the restaurant changed, the three of us were still together. That's good. That's why I was willing to compromise, because some things are far more important than others.
