Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

"Welcome to Tea Samadhi, what can I order?"

The young girl at the order counter greeted every customer with a perfect smile and a sweet voice.

Zhou Hui didn't look at the drink menu indicated by her palm, but the waiter asked: "Are you hiring part-time waiters?"

"I'm sorry, we're not hiring at the moment," the clerk replied.

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Hui nodded in thanks and left.

We queued for so long just to ask if they’re hiring store clerks?

The clerk in charge of taking orders didn't have time to be curious. He immediately perked up and put on a smile to serve the next customer.

Ji Shumiao, who was hiding in the dark, waited until Zhou Hui walked away before coming out. She originally wanted to secretly observe the clerk, but unexpectedly saw Zhou Hui.

"The young boss is here!" The shop assistants greeted her without putting down their work.

Ji Shumiao was very satisfied with this, and it was worth her efforts. She personally interviewed and trained each of these shop assistants.

At first, these people thought Ji Shumiao was young and no one believed her. But after seeing her use of both kindness and force, no one treated her as a child anymore.

Customers came in an endless stream and everyone in the store was busy. Ji Shumiao found a corner to sit down. The considerate clerk brought her a cup of hot drink and then turned around to go back to work.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the number of customers gradually decreased and the shop assistants had some free time to take turns sitting down and rest.

Ji Shumiao asked: "What did the previous customer who didn't order say?"

"He asked us if we were hiring part-time staff, and I told him we weren't hiring for the time being," the clerk replied. "In the past few days, people have been asking if we were hiring, and we've turned them down. But we do have some staff shortages. Some of us can't even lift our hands after work, and our chopsticks are shaking."

Ji Shumiao nodded: "I see, I'm considering the recruitment. Thank you for your hard work this month, each of you will get a bonus of 2,000."

Everyone who heard this was delighted. They did not have a high level of education and had never expected to get such a high salary.

"Thank you, little boss!"

"The young boss is generous!"

……

Ji Shumiao smiled and said, "You will take shifts according to the order I have arranged. Everyone must be familiar with the entire process of a store. The branch store is already being prepared, and you will definitely become store managers in the future."

After painting a credible promise to the employees, Ji Shumiao waited for another half an hour before Ji Shulang came over.

Ji Shulang had a basketball game today. Judging from his dejected look, he must have lost.

Ji Shulang sighed and said angrily: "If Zhou Hui was here, we would definitely not lose today!"

Ji Shumiao sat on the back of the bicycle, shrinking his neck due to the cold: "Didn't you tell him that Cha Samadhi is owned by our family? I saw him coming to the store, wanting to apply for the position of clerk."

"Why should I tell him this? I haven't told anyone." Ji Shulang sighed, "But Zhou Hui is indeed having a hard time. He has been working in a fast food restaurant recently. Boss Miao, don't you take care of your little brother? Let him give it a try."

"He is not even fifteen years old. Which fast food restaurant would employ child laborers?" Ji Shumiao asked.

Zhou Hui's birthday is December 92, 12.

"Hey, there are always unexpected things. It's about giving the store manager two packs of cigarettes." Ji Shulang tightly gripped the handlebars. "No, how do you know he's under 15?"

"Guessing. Didn't you say he was only a few months older than you?"

Ji Shulang seemed to remember that he had said this, so he stopped worrying about it.

There were two broken street lights in the community. When Ji Shulang rode past, he did not notice that a floor tile had been pried up. The brother and sister fell on their backs, and returned home covered in dirt, both holding their broken buttocks. Their family members felt very distressed, and they quickly asked the brother and sister to go back to their room to change into clean clothes, and brought them hot soup and rice.

Since the heating was turned on, the folding fan that was placed on the chest of drawers as a decoration often appeared in Ji Shumiao's hands.

Ji Shumiao opened the folding fan and fanned the bowl of hot bone soup in front of him, sighing: "It's really cold. I feel cold even sitting in the back seat of the bike. My brother is riding the bike and shielding me from the wind. My brother is working so hard."

Ji Shulang smiled and gave her a piece of braised pork bone: "I'm not cold, and I'm not as weak as you. You should worry more about yourself."

Except for the brother and sister, everyone else had already eaten and was in the kitchen studying the recipe for the hot pot base. Qin Rong had already decided to change the snack bar into a braised hot pot restaurant and had applied for a new business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

Grandma felt sorry for them both: "You're not cold now, but what about later? I heard that the temperature in Beijing can be below 10 degrees Celsius in winter. What if it snows heavily? Riding a bicycle is so dangerous!"

Qin Rong poked her head out of the kitchen and said proudly, "I got my driver's license! Then I can take them to and from school."

There are two cars in the family. The men drove one to Hebei, and the other one was parked in the community parking lot most of the time.

"Do you have time every day?" Grandma disagreed. "Besides, I don't trust your driving skills. If it rains or snows, we will be worried to death if you go out."

"If you don't have good skills, you can practice." Qin Rong couldn't help but be stubborn. "Look at you, old lady. You're afraid that we'll abuse your two grandchildren. You give us a cold shoulder when we ride our bicycles to school in winter. In the past, my sister and I walked three kilometers to school, and you never felt sorry for us."

Grandma pouted: "You sharp-tongued mean devil, how could I not feel sorry for you? Wasn't there no conditions at the beginning?"

Qin Rong laughed out loud: "I know. I won't let your grandchildren down. My sister and I have discussed this a long time ago. We are going to buy another car and find a driver for the two children."

"Ah?" Ji Shumiao hadn't expected this to happen, but it seemed pretty good. He smiled at his mother and said, "Mom, you love me the most! Um~~~ Mom~~"

"That's corny." Qin Rong cursed with a smile, "Not only for going to and from school, but there will be more and more milk tea shops in the future, and you two will have to spend more time patrolling the shops. It will be convenient to have a driver. When you are at school, the driver can also take grandma and the others to buy groceries or something."

Ji Shulang also cheered: "I am also blessed by our princess."

"What's the point of taking advantage of it? It's for your benefit too." Grandma said, "We don't favor one over the other in our family."

The Ji family does not favor boys over girls or girls over boys.

As soon as the design drawings of the Matcha Factory came out, Ji Shumiao took the drawings and went to Hubei with Brother Lang to hire a factory director who had embezzled public funds in his previous life and was imprisoned.
