Now there are thirty-six people under Xia Luotong's guard, and there are more than fifty family members brought to the capital. Excluding the too old and the too young, there are still about thirty people who want to work in Lingshan Pavilion, but they can There were only seven waiters at the front, and most of the others were older and not suitable for the job of waiters.
The twenty or so people were all assigned to the positions of handymen and kitchen helpers. The manpower was just enough, but the manpower in the waiting room was obviously insufficient. The Lingshan Pavilion had four floors, and there were many private rooms above, and all of them were entertained. They are some respectable guests. If there are too few people to greet them, they may be dissatisfied.
"These seven people have passed the interview, but they still need to be properly trained." Xia Luotong glanced at the seven people lined up, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhuxuan beside him and said, "This is Zhuxuan, the eldest maid next to me. She will train these seven people in the future. If we don't get her approval in the end, we will not be able to accept this job and will have to switch to other jobs."
Zhuxuan took a step forward at the right time and looked at the seven people with a somewhat serious look, quite a bit majestic as a big maid. Seeing this, the seven people subconsciously stood up straighter, and at the same time they felt a little more determined to train well.
The positions for this waiter are available to both men and women. In addition to not being too old, they must also be good-looking and articulate, so the selection requirements are more stringent than other waiters, but Yueyin is higher than other waiters. Quite a few, so this is a pretty good job, and no one wants to miss it because of their laziness.
Seeing that they were interested, Xia Luotong nodded. Wu Yongyuan on the side saw that she had no other explanation, so he waved his hand for the seven people to leave.
Naturally, Wu Yongyuan had no objection to what Xia Luotong had just said. This was what it should be. Even if Xia Luotong hadn't said it just now, he would have called everyone together again later to explain and be vigilant. Because they entered Lingshan Pavilion due to his own relationship and neglected to control them, he still knew how to distinguish between public and private matters, otherwise he would not have managed the Yiwu Escort Agency to such a large scale.
"Princess, there are no other people here who are suitable for the job of waiter, but I'm afraid only seven people are not enough. Should we go outside to recruit more people?" Wu Yongyuan reported truthfully.
Xia Luotong was very satisfied with his attitude in doing things and nodded: "It's really not enough. Let's recruit more people. You can do whatever you want. Just pay attention to the informants arranged from outside."
Although Wu Yongyuan didn't know the specific situation, after hearing Xia Luotong's words and combining it with the rumors in Beijing, he could guess a little bit about the situation. He immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will pay attention to it until the final selection is completed." At this time, I’m asking the princess to make a decision.”
Xia Luotong paused for a moment, thinking about what he had planned last night, and asked, "Uncle Wu, do you have any brothers you can trust in other towns?"
Wu Yongyuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, many brothers still have many relatives at home. It is not convenient for the whole family to follow the subordinates to the capital, so they all went back to their hometowns. Does the princess have errands that she wants to leave to them?"
"Well, I still have some shops in other towns, and I plan to use them to run Lingshan Pavilion branches. If you have a trustworthy brother nearby, you can just leave them to take care of it." Xia Luotong pondered after returning last night. There is already a rough plan for this matter.
Wu Yongyuan's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated and said: "Many of the brothers are reliable. Now that I have just left the escort agency and it is approaching the New Year's Eve, I haven't even gone out to look for errands yet. However, many of them have martial arts skills." , but it’s okay to fight with escorts, but if you want to manage a restaurant, I’m afraid you may not have that ability, and it would be bad if you smashed up the signboard.”
Xia Luotong was quite pleased to see him being so frank, but she also thought about this situation: "It doesn't have to be handled by them. You can leave the specific matters to the second shopkeeper, and they will only be responsible for supervision."
Wu Yongyuan felt relieved after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is a good idea, otherwise my subordinates would be really afraid that they would screw it up. But when does the princess plan to open these branches?"
"I plan to open the Lingshan Pavilion here in the capital on the fifth day of the first lunar month. As for other places, the sooner the better. However, most of those shops are doing other businesses. If they want to be converted into restaurants, they need to be renovated. I'm afraid it won't be until February or March no matter how soon." Thinking of this, Xia Luotong felt a little helpless, mainly because it took a lot of time to take back these shops, and she didn't have anyone available before, so she just It can be delayed until now.
Wu Yongyuan thought for a moment and said, "Can the original manpower of those shops continue to be retained?"
"Those shops have just been taken back, and now the prince has arranged for manpower to take care of them temporarily. If the people below are needed, they can stay, but those shopkeepers have to be returned to the prince." Xia Luotong will roughly The situation told him that all the shopkeepers arranged by Xia Zhihe had been replaced.
Wu Zechen on the side didn't say much after hearing this. Although he wanted to tell her that his hands could be used by her, he also knew that she wanted to have power that was entirely her own instead of relying on him, so she said this. It was not said out loud in the end.
After two days of getting along briefly, Wu Yongyuan also figured out some of Xia Luotong's thoughts. He knew that she was not a woman who liked to rely on others. Her heart was strong and tenacious enough, so he did not care about what she said at this time. He was surprised, which was exactly what he admired.
However, Prince An on the side did not change his expression, and had no idea of being offended or disgusted at all. Wu Yongyuan was somewhat surprised, and he also realized more deeply that Prince An valued Xia Luotong.
"In that case, my subordinate will leave in the next two days to get this matter done as soon as possible so that branches in various places can be opened as soon as possible." Wu Yongyuan looked solemn and said seriously immediately.
Xia Luotong was stunned, but she didn't expect that he would be so resolute: "It's almost the New Year now, so I'm not in a hurry for these ten or eight days. I'll spend the New Year with Manying and the others. When the fifth day of the first lunar month, the general manager in the capital After the store is safely open, you can do this again."
"We celebrate the New Year together every year, but this year is not the case. The princess's errands are more important." Wu Yongyuan said with a hearty smile, and Wu's sister-in-law Lu Yanniang on the side also nodded in agreement.
"This year is different. It's your first year in the capital, and the brothers below will definitely want to spend this year with you." Xia Luotong smiled softly.
