Chapter 137: Bring Me Some People

Tang Qiu listened to Song Xia's words from the side and deeply resonated with her.

She felt like she was getting paid for nothing; there was simply nothing for her to do at the company.

Yet, her salary never decreased. Although her annual salary had already been paid, a sum of money was still deposited into her card this month.

After inquiring, she learned that part of it was a raise, and part was a welfare subsidy.

But she hadn't done anything at all!

A raise could even happen to her.

Chen Mo, however, was unaware of Tang Qiu's thoughts. Hearing Song Xia's question, he pondered for a moment before speaking.

"How could I let you get paid for nothing? As the manager of a coffee shop, you must understand various coffee-making methods. How about this? Tomorrow, I'll enroll you in a barista training class, and the company will cover the cost. You can use this renovation period to study diligently."

"Also, pay close attention to the various machines and tools needed to open a coffee shop. When it's time to open, just give me a list."

"Once your training is complete, your salary will be raised to 10,000."

"Ah!"

Song Xia opened her mouth in shock.

Paid training, with the company covering the training fees, and a direct raise after the training.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was her brother-in-law's brother, she would have thought he was a swindler.

"The matter is settled then. Also, during the training, pay attention to the other trainees. You can recruit them as shop assistants. Initially, their salary can be 6,000 yuan, plus a 0.1% profit commission. Additionally, they can serve as reserve management personnel, and when opening new branches, the manager will prioritize selecting from them."

Chen Mo waved his hand, directly settling the matter.

He felt a bit smug. This method was good; it spent a month's salary for nothing but also included training fees.

The training fee for one person seemed a bit small.

"Uh, when you're recruiting those trainees, you can tell them that if they are willing to work at the coffee shop, the company will reimburse their training fees."

"For now, let's recruit ten shop assistants."

This way, he could spend on 11 people's training fees.

Not bad.

"Aren't ten shop assistants a bit too many?"

Song Xia thought for a moment. With the two stores combined, it was only a little over 200 square meters; there was no need for ten shop assistants at all!

Basically, 4-5 shop assistants would suffice!

Chen Mo heard this and smiled, shaking his head.

"Not too many, not too many. As a storefront, you'd have to open at 8 AM, right? And you'd probably operate until 8 PM, right?"

"There are 12 hours of work time in there. It's impossible for shop assistants to work from morning until night; that's too tiring, not humane, and goes against my company's philosophy."

"So, to reduce employees' working hours, two shifts are the best solution."

"One shift from 8 AM to 2 PM, and another from 2 PM to 8 PM. Each shift is exactly six hours."

"So, while it seems like ten employees, in reality, only five employees are working in the shop."

"Therefore, to ensure the coffee shop can operate normally, this employee recruitment task is entrusted to you. How about this? To ensure your enthusiasm for recruiting, for every employee you recruit, you'll receive a 1,000 yuan recruitment bonus."

Calculating this way, another 10,000 yuan was spent on 10 people.

Although it was just a fraction compared to the system's funds of over ten million, every little bit adds up.

Song Xia was lost in thought. This kind of coffee shop was too good!

However, as the manager, she couldn't help but worry, could opening a shop like this really make money?

And was Chen Mo running a money printing factory? The way he spent money felt like it was being blown away by the wind.

She swallowed hard, looking at Chen Mo to confirm.

"Is doing this really okay?"

"What's the problem? Just do it boldly. I'll back you up."

Chen Mo said nonchalantly.

Seeing that Chen Mo truly had no problem with it, Song Xia gradually relaxed. She thought of the promise Chen Mo had just made: 1,000 yuan per person, which would be 10,000 for 10 people!

She now wished she could immediately go to the coffee training company to recruit people.

Tang Qiu watched from the side, a look of envy on her face.

She had just been lamenting that Song Xia was in the same boat as her.

But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Song Xia had a ton of tasks to do, while she was still idle.

This was too hard to bear.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Chen Mo.

"General Manager Chen, is there anything else I can do?"

Here she comes again!

Chen Mo heard Tang Qiu's question and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"How's the legal popularization campaign going?"

"It's already been publicized."

"Then, how about publicizing it again?"

"It was just publicized before the holiday. It might be a bit too frequent after this holiday ends."

"Uh…"

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he was about to recruit a large batch of new employees.

"Uh, the workshop expansion will bring in a batch of new employees in a few days, about 70 people. You can conduct an onboarding training for them, so they can understand our company."

Onboarding training?

This should be the Human Resources Department's job.

However, Tang Qiu couldn't care less about that now. She had finally found something to do, so she didn't care whose job it was.

Moreover, she had also noticed that General Manager Chen's approach to employees was different from other bosses.

These were all unique aspects of the company's culture and its business philosophy, but General Manager Chen had never put it down in writing.

She could go back and prepare some good documents, systematically writing out the company culture.

These things could be used in employee training to help new employees quickly integrate into the new environment.

Thinking of this, Tang Qiu quickly agreed.

"Okay, General Manager Chen. I'll prepare it when I get home."

Chen Mo saw Tang Qiu take on this task and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Tang Qiu wouldn't ask him for work again for a while.

It was truly strange.

Which company has employees chasing the boss for work?

"I'll make you guys some milk tea!"

Seeing that no one was speaking, Song Xia got up and ran to the milk tea machine, starting to make milk tea.

Although the milk tea shop was closed, the milk tea machine and raw materials were still in the shop.

Soon,

Three cups of milk tea were made, one for each person.

Chen Mo curiously took a sip; the taste was quite good.

However, he often drank coffee, and drinking this milk tea always felt too sweet.

"Sister Tang, look, these kittens and puppies are so pitiful!"

Song Xia placed her phone on Tang Qiu's desk and said with a sympathetic expression.

Tang Qiu looked at Song Xia's phone, watching the video playing, and realized.

"Oh, this is the Corner Love Cat and Dog Rescue Station. It's in a village on the outskirts of Jiang City. I know about it."

"Sister Tang, you know about this rescue station?"

Song Xia looked at Tang Qiu with surprise.

"Yes, I do. This cat and dog rescue station has about 1,000 cats and dogs combined. I even donated cat food and dog food before."

Tang Qiu said with a smile.

She had known about this cat and dog rescue station for a long time. At that time, the rescue station only had a few hundred cats and dogs, but now it had increased to 1,000.

Donating cat food and dog food?

Chen Mo was scrolling on his phone, but hearing Tang Qiu and Song Xia's conversation, he instantly became interested.
