C145 Its just an excuse (2/2)
Since Ah Ruo was good for the coffee shop's business, the Hu Manager would naturally think of a way to keep her here for the long term. What could be more effective than giving her a raise if she wanted to keep a part-time worker?
Only, Hu Manager had never decided whether he wanted to give Ah Ruo a raise of 50 yuan or 80 yuan. After all, Ah Ruo was still a student of the Music Academy, and she had not even passed the examinations for the piano.
But after meeting with this matter today, Hu Manager had decided that it didn't matter if he gave Ah Ruo a bit more salary as long as he could be satisfied with Lu Shan.
She had already suspected that Lu Shan was Chen Jiarou's boyfriend, but when Lu Shan suddenly mentioned that he wanted to get to know Ah Ruo, she thought that she was wrong!
But he didn't expect that … The reason why Lu Shan wanted to meet Ah Ruo was not because he wanted to pick up a girl like his, but rather because he wanted to learn to play the piano from Ah Ruo and present him to his girlfriend as a birthday present.
And skew... When the orders from headquarters arrived this afternoon, and Chen Jiarou was officially promoted to the general manager of Yangchuan City, the Hu Manager, who was more skilled in drilling, asked the personnel department of the hotel to investigate Chen Jiarou secretly and found out that Chen Jiarou's birthday was in a few days time.
This time, it immediately matched up with … The girlfriend that Lu Shan was talking about must definitely be Chen Jiarou!
When she thought about how Lu Shan learned to play the piano to congratulate Chen Jiarou on his birthday, that Hu Manager had to cooperate! If anyone else wanted to come here and learn how to play the zither from a zither master during the opening hours of their coffee shop, Hu Manager would definitely tell them to scram as far away as possible. But now, this person who was messing around was the general manager's ”boyfriend”.
After she finished speaking, she immediately returned to her office and took out a dozen cards.
These cards are used by the coffee shop for promotional purposes in the coming days. Customers who come to their coffee shop to spend their money can get a free cup of coffee for less than one hundred yuan. So you can also say... This card was almost like a voucher worth one hundred yuan.
After Hu Manager took out the dozen cards, he began to explain them to the customers at the next table.
At this time, Lu Shan had already started to learn to play ”Happy Birthday” from Ah Ruo. Although Lu Shan was not stupid, it was his first time encountering a piano, and he was still unclear on which keys to play. Thus, he tried playing it twice and found that it was rather unpleasant to listen to. At this time, some of the guests had already started to frown in dissatisfaction.
But after hearing Hu Manager's explanation … Especially after receiving the free cards from the Hu Manager, then... With such a small voice, he was naturally able to tolerate it.
After the Hu Manager explained in this way, he gave out sixty free cards. This was equivalent to more than six thousand yuan! Of course, even if the price of a cup of coffee was one hundred yuan, the actual cost wasn't that high. However, the coffee shop would still lose quite a bit from the distribution of the cards. However … Hu Manager did not care about this, and treated it as a promotional event. As long as they could befriend Lu Shan … If Lu Shan could say a few good words to her at Chen Jiarou's place, it would all be worth it!
But what she didn't know was that what Lu Shan had just said was just a temporary excuse …
