C145 Its just an excuse (1/2)
Just as Lu Shan was hesitating on where he could teach Ah Ruo how to play the zither, he heard the Hu Manager suddenly come over enthusiastically and said: ”It doesn't matter, isn't it just teaching for around ten to twenty minutes? You can just teach them here! ”
”Ah …”
When Lu Shan and Ah Ruo heard this, they couldn't help but be startled. They didn't understand how this Hu Manager could be so reasonable.
But Lu Shan still refused and said: ”I'm afraid that's not good! You're still doing business here, but I'm here learning the zither from Miss Ah Ruo. This … The sound of the zither that Miss Ah Ruo released must be very wonderful, but if a beginner like me were to play around here and ruin the elegance of the guests sitting around here, wouldn't that be bad? ”
Hu Manager quickly said: ”That won't happen, our coffee shop's main theme is elegance and romance, and Sir, for the sake of giving my girlfriend a surprise on her birthday, you specially came here to learn how to play the piano. This is quite a romantic affair, it suits our coffee shop's main theme very well! Don't worry about it... I'll go over and explain it to everyone in the room, and I'm sure they'll understand and support you! ”Good luck …”
After Hu Manager finished speaking, he nodded towards Ah Ruo and instructed him, ”Teach this mister a lesson. As for the payment for the school fees that this mister has mentioned … I don't think so! Such a romantic thing, we have to make it happen. Talking about money would be a bit tacky, wouldn't it? ”
”Ugh …” Good Hu Manager! ”
Ah Ruo felt a little speechless. Actually, she wasn't prepared to take Lu Shan's money. She would feel bad if she just taught him for ten or twenty minutes and paid him three hundred yuan. After all, she needed to play the piano for nearly four hours a day in this coffee shop, so she only earned 180 yuan a day. If it was like this, even if she taught Lu Shan for half an hour, she would only be able to charge him thirty yuan at most. It would be better if she didn't want it. She would just treat it as a good thing!
But now that the Hu Manager had said that, it meant that he was using his status as the manager to suppress, which made him very uncomfortable.
Lu Shan also felt that it was not so good. He had paid with work, but had reaped rewards, so giving her some rewards was only right. Moreover, a few hundred dollars was nothing to Lu Shan right now. If it was because of what Hu Manager said, and Ah Ruo did not put in all her effort to teach him, wouldn't he be the one suffering?
But before he could say anything, he heard Hu Manager add, ”Of course... In view of your recent good performance, since you played the piano here, our coffee shop business has been much better than before, I decided... From today onwards, your nightly salary will be increased by 80 yuan. ”
”Ah …” It's true! ”
Hearing that, Ah Ruo was surprised, she immediately bowed and expressed her thanks: ”Thank you, Hu Manager!”
Her salary had increased by 80 yuan a day, and she would be here for a part-time job for around 20 days a month. This was way better than earning Lu Shan three hundred yuan at once.
It was only then that she realized she was mistaken about Hu Manager. Hu Manager did not really want to use his identity as the manager to pressure her, but to change the way he paid her!
Of course she wouldn't know … In truth, Hu Manager had long planned to give her a raise. And in fact, it was because … Ever since Ah Ruo came to be a pianist, the business in the coffee shop at night and on Sunday was obviously better than before.
