After the conflict between the tour guides was resolved, Lin Qiu officially felt like a boss. It turned out that a boss is not only responsible for attracting customers, but also dealing with employee relations. He originally thought that opening a store was too simple.
He has received a lot of good news recently. Recently, several noble ladies brought their friends to travel, and it must have been recommended by Hua Wenyan. The work of the travel agency suddenly increased, and he also became busy. He also needed to be responsible for his studies, so his after-school life was all arranged.
However, such busyness makes people feel that they have learned a lot. Lin Qiu likes such a fulfilling life.
In the evening, Lin Qiu was going to the travel agency for dinner, and Zhang Yuansheng made an appointment with everyone to get together.
It means team building.
Lin Qiu rushed to the travel agency after class. After thinking about it, he still didn't call Zhou Xiaotong. She had a lot of classes recently, and she was definitely not used to being called to the travel agency when she was having dinner. A group of them were drunk and making trouble. It's not good to be drunk and frighten Zhou Xiaotong.
Lin Qiu told Zhou Xiaotong in the evening that he could not accompany her to dinner. Zhou Xiaotong also expressed his understanding. Their dormitory also often went to team building, and Lin Qiu would not be called in that situation. Everyone has their own circle of friends, so there should be nothing All mixed together.
When Lin Qiu arrived at the travel agency in the evening, Zhang Yuansheng, his three children, and the tour guides were all there.
Everyone put the table they bought from the building materials market in the center and placed a few bowls and chopsticks.
This house was originally occupied by Zhang Yuansheng, so there was a small kitchen in the back compartment. There was still some gas in the gas tank, so Zhang Yuansheng used it to cook. He planned to have hot pot with everyone.
In this era, induction cookers and natural gas were not yet popular. Gas tanks were the main tool for heating meals. Almost every house on the street used gas.
Lin Qiu's home uses firewood, which is much more difficult to use than gas. Gas is basically used in the city, and coal is still burned in the winter in the north.
The three children brought a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of cold dishes, and several side dishes from the restaurant. Monkey and Zhang Yuansheng bumped into each other on the way here, and they went to the vegetable market to buy hot pot dishes together.
At that time, most hot pot dishes were still based on vegetables, sweet or spicy, and crispy bone balls were not popular. They bought some duck blood, vermicelli, mushroom and mutton rolls, and also bought a bottle of Erba sauce.
When Lin Qiu arrived, Zhang Yuansheng's hot pot was almost cooked and placed on the table. It was steaming and appetizing.
In Lin Qiu's memory, this kind of atmosphere only appeared during the New Year. However, Lin Qiu hated the New Year when he was a child because his cousins, cousins, aunts, and aunts all crowded around him.
It's different now. Everyone sitting here is friendly.
The tour guides had only been working for a few days, but Zhang Yuansheng didn't let them buy groceries. This dinner was treated as a treat by the boss to let everyone get to know each other. After all, several tour guides had never met him as an investor.
Monkey used his chopsticks to pick up the food as soon as it was served. The rice in their car repair shop was cooked by the proprietress herself. It was too salty and so salty that he couldn't get used to it.
Lin Qiu, with quick eyes and quick hands, patted the monkey's hand and whispered: "Mr. Zhang hasn't started yet, what kind of food are you picking up?"
After Lin Qiu experienced the last time he almost lost control at the exchange, he treated Zhang Yuansheng like a teacher and respected him very much.
Zhang Yuansheng is informal. He wants to get along with these young people as peers: "It's okay, monkey, eat quickly and try the authentic Beijing hot pot I make!"
Monkey chuckled: "You have lived in the capital for so many years, and you have seen more sesame paste than I have ever eaten. You must be authentic."
"You have a sweet mouth."
The relationship between Zhang Yuansheng and Monkey is like a steady father with a naughty son, but the two do not exclude each other and seem to be harmonious.
The tour guides saw that Zhang Yuansheng was more easy-going with other people and were no longer nervous. Zhang Yuansheng had the dignity of a teacher. They were so scared when they first entered the door that they all sat in a row like quails.
The wind was blowing on the treetops outside, and the moon hung crescent in the sky. The light was very thin compared to the warmth in the house.
Lin Qiu poured a glass of wine: "Thank you all for your recent contributions to the travel agency. I would like to dedicate this glass of wine to everyone present. I hope our travel agency will get better and better, the business will be prosperous, and everyone can get a salary increase every year."
Wei Dandian happily responded with a drink; "Okay, as long as the boss says this, we will do a good job."
The other tour guides followed suit and responded with a glass of wine and some nice words.
The monkey was attentive and kept eating vegetables, mutton rolls, chicken feet, lung slices, and even the red dates that came with the soup base.
Lin Qiu also teased him: "You swallowed the dates wholeheartedly, can you taste anything?"
"I don't understand what your educated people are saying. I only know that the food cooked by Mr. Zhang is really delicious."
Leprosy gave Dog Boy more food: "You are not fully recovered yet, eat more." Like a real brother, Leprosy began to care about Dog Boy and dumplings.
"I'm already fat, Brother Leper, there's no need to feed me..."
The three children were fighting together.
The adults drank and the minors ate. Everyone got excited about the meal tonight and began to talk about their own life stories.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and Wei Dandian ran to open the door: "Maybe there's business again."
Most people come to travel agencies during the day, but few come at night.
As soon as Wei Dadian opened the door, he saw an aunt with a red armband on her arm, wearing a dark gray Lenin suit, and a stiff and impatient expression.
She glanced at everyone in the room, took out a notebook and wrote a few words.
"You are from the travel agency, right? There has been a complaint here! You are disturbing the public too much. If it is a legal organization, please show your business license!"
A smile instantly appeared on Wei Dandian's face: "Auntie, our place is disturbing the people, who doesn't want to have a meal?"
"It's not because you're eating. It's because someone reported that you were coming and going here in the past few days. You were making loud noises and even quarreling every day. We suspected that you were doing something improper, so we just checked it out."
Monk Erzhang of Wei Hall was confused: "Our place is not serious anymore. The work we do is clearly displayed on the poster outside. Is there any doubt in this?"
"Then show your business license!" The neighborhood committee aunt said in a tough tone.
Lin Qiu secretly groaned. He was worried that the travel agency would not be able to operate, so he did not prepare a business license. In this era, the streets are full of small vendors. Who has a business license? Everyone buys and sells independently.
The neighborhood committee aunt didn't listen to Wei Dadian's nonsense and just asked: "Is there just one sentence?"
"It's true we didn't, but..." Lin Qiu hadn't finished speaking yet.
The neighborhood committee aunt tore off a piece of yellow paper and stuck it on the door of the travel agency.
"You opened your business in a residential building without all the necessary documents. You are making so much noise that almost everyone around here has been unable to sleep. Please close your store." After saying this, she left.
Everyone in the house was left in silence.
