Chapter 80 - Qian Guo (1/2)

Qian Guo

”Welcome back, Mr. Ming! They're ready for you now. Do you want to interview them together or separately?”

”I'll interview them together.”

Wang Ming thought it would be best to interview them together as it would take less time and having them both there would make them even more competitive. He then followed her to a small room, which only had a table and a few chairs, a minimalistic room. But it's more than enough.

Upon entering the room, he saw two people who he assumed were Gao Xingjuan and Qian Guo. Shaking hands with them and sitting down, he started the interview. He started off by doing some basic introduction, then he started asking questions, but since he had never been the interviewer before, he wasn't sure what to ask. But on the walk back to Tonsheng he had searched on Baidu for questions to ask, and luckily he found some good ones.

”What skills and strengths can you bring and what value can you give my restaurant if I hire you?”

He then motioned for Qian Guo to answer first.

”Sir, I'm a hard-worker. I work with a lot of passion. I've worked at many businesses and restaurants, so I not only know how to do basic serving, I can also help with management of the restaurant. I can help with staffing needs, inventory and coming up with new ideas. Since I've been a worker for the most of my life, I know what to do to make your staff happy! I can also cook!”

Then it was Gao Xingjuan's turn.

”I've worked for only a few restaurants for most of my life all were a few years employment. I have over 15 years experience with food and restaurant management. I can't cook, but I've become good enough to know what food should taste like. I've even been a judge in multiple tv shows to judge food, I would've become a chef if I could but, I can eat food not make it. I know a lot of media people I can contact them to give you a lot of coverage if you have enough money.”

Wang Ming asked them a few other questions like if they work well in teams, how they overcome challenges and so on. Qian Guo really impressed him, even though he only had two years of experience working with restaurants. He was not only witty but very smart. Wang Ming had no doubts that he could take good care of staffing, it would benefit him a lot if he hired him.

As for Gao Xingjuan, she's good, even more qualified than Qian Guo, but she's too rigid. Wang Ming felt like she didn't fit with his vision. She's definitely better at restaurant management than what he or Qian Guo is, but after talking with her he felt like she's too afraid of taking chances and making mistakes. She would fit in his restaurant if he only wanted to sustain and make slow gains.

But Wang Ming didn't want that, he wanted someone daring to take chances, to expand his restaurant's reach fast. That person would be Qian Guo.

”I've decided, just wait for me. I'm just going out to get the papers.”

Wang Ming walked out of the room, but when he stood up a stack of 100 yuan bills fell out of his pocket. He then walked out of the room. This was a test he had thought of, even though it isn't a perfect test, it would still let him see their nasty side. He had observed their faces when he dropped the money they both had a greedy look on their face, but for Gao Xingjuan it then became fear, before it finally turned normal. Qian Guo, he had a greedy look on his face also, but then it changed into a disgusted look.

After getting the papers, which took a few minutes, Wang Ming finally returned to the room. Looking at them, he noticed Gao Xingjuan looked a bit fl.u.s.tered while Qian Guo's face was red like Guan Yu's face. Even though he wanted to ask what was wrong but he didn't, he had noticed that the stack of money he dropped wasn't there anymore, so someone had to have taken it. He would wait until one of them said anything about it.

”So, I've decided on who I want to hire. But before I announce it, do you guys want to say anything? It could influence my decision in a good way.”

But even after 30 seconds none of them said anything they just looked at the table and didn't dare to look at Wang Ming.

”Okay, since no one wants to say anything. I'll announce who I'll hire. Congratulations Gao Xingjuan, please just sign the contract and you can come to work tomorrow.”
