Chapter 462: Let’s do something ruthless!
"Mr. Huang, are you ready to close?"
Zhu Xiuxiu slowly approached and found that Huang Baihan and the employees were washing various cups and utensils. The ground was also wet. There were only four or five students scattered around, chatting while waiting for their fruit tea.
"Minister Zhu?"
Huang Baihan looked up and found that it was Zhu Xiuxiu, the director of the Student Union's External Relations Department.
He and Zhu Xiuxiu were not that familiar with each other. In previous meetings, Zhu Xiuxiu was the superior senior student or leader, and he was just a small clerk.
But now Huang Baihan is the owner of the Royal Tea Shop, and Zhu Xiuxiu is just an ordinary consumer.
Sometimes even teachers from the Chinese University of Science and Technology would come to buy juice. No matter how old the students are, can they be older than their teachers?
“It’s not completely closed yet.”
Huang Baihan wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Minister Zhu, what would you like to drink? I'll treat you."
"Hey, I'm not the kind of senior who likes to take advantage of others."
Zhu Xiuxiu picked a chair and sat down: "Have a watermelon smoothie."
"Please wait."
Huang Baihan ran back to the beverage making room, put on disposable gloves, took out the watermelon pulp and ice cubes from the freezer, put them in the blender and started swirling them.
His movements were skillful and his expression was focused, and it was obvious that he did these things frequently.
Zhu Xiuxiu watched from afar and her favorability towards Huang Baihan increased a little.
She didn't know Huang Baihan very well before. After all, Huang Baihan was not only a nobody in the student union, but also not a very prominent figure in Xu Yue's team of lickers.
It was not until the emergence of "Imperial Tea" and its sensational reputation in Wushan University Town with its health, innovative taste and new style of decoration that Zhu Xiuxiu noticed him.
Of course, I also noticed Xu Yue jumping around in the Royal Tea Shop.
At that time, Zhu Xiuxiu joked with her friends that wherever Xu Yue was, nothing good would happen.
Royal Tea might go bankrupt by the end of the year. It's a pity that such a good store has such a stupid boss - he was so proud of the money he made that he forgot his last name and even got involved with Xu Yue.
However, after observing him closely tonight, Huang Baihan seemed to be quite down-to-earth. I would say that Mr. Chen’s friend should not be that bad.
"Best Wishes, Minister, for your watermelon smoothie."
Huang Baihan quickly finished making the cold drink, wiped off the water stains on the bottom and outside, took a straw, and placed the disposable plastic cup cleanly on the table.
This was not the first time that Zhu Xiuxiu had Royal Tea, but she usually asked her roommate to take it back home. She didn’t expect that the dining experience was also good.
Because of this level of attentiveness, most young people can accept it even if the taste is a little worse.
Huang Baihan finished making the cold drinks and was about to go back to work for a while, but he heard Zhu Xiuxiu shouting from behind: "Mr. Huang, don't be in a hurry to leave. Come over and chat for a while."
"I?"
Huang Baihan was a little surprised.
He and Zhu Xiuxiu had never even added each other on QQ. Apart from being in the same student union, they had no other connections.
However, Da Huang is actually a very gentle person at heart. Unlike Chen Zhe who appears to be amiable on the surface, Huang Baihan is really not aggressive.
He sat opposite Zhu Xiuxiu, waiting a little stiffly for the senior to speak first.
Zhu Xiuxiu took a big gulp of the drink first. The refreshing smoothie mixed with the sweet watermelon juice went down her throat all the way to her stomach. Then she shivered. The feeling was so refreshing.
"call!"
After Zhu Xiuxiu was done with her excitement, she looked at the restless Huang Baihan and said with a curled lip, "Why are you so nervous? You are more prestigious than me now. The teachers in the Entrepreneurship Office have talked about you several times. They said that if Zhongda can produce a Chen Zhe, Huazhong University of Science and Technology can also produce a Huang Baihan."
"what?"
Huang Baihan quickly waved his hands: "I can't compare with him. That guy is aiming to be the industry leader, and I'm just a small business."
"Huh! You and Chen Zhe are pretty familiar with each other?"
Zhu Xiuxiu asked casually, "Are you on good terms?"
"us……"
Huang Baihan was about to tell the truth when a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Is Zhu Xiuxiu planning to get to know Chen Zhe through herself?
Your best friend is no longer an ordinary person, so you should not let these troubles bother him.
"We were classmates in high school, so we have an okay relationship."
Huang Baihan scratched his head and said, "Tsk!"
Zhu Xiuxiu thought that this kid with thick eyebrows, big eyes and an honest face could actually tell lies.
Chen Zhuo has already said that you two are good friends, but you are still being reserved.
However, Huang Baihan didn't want to admit it, but Zhu Xiuxiu thought it was pretty good that she didn't keep talking about her friend's achievements as a tool to brag about herself.
"What does your family do?"
Zhu Xiuxiu felt that Huang Baihan had good basic qualities and asked curiously about his family background.
"My home?"
Huang Baihan smiled naively: "My parents are just ordinary people who run a breakfast shop, selling soy milk, rice rolls, steamed buns, etc."
"what?"
Zhu Xiuxiu was a little surprised to find out that Huang Baihan's family conditions were so ordinary.
What’s even more surprising is that he could actually say it so frankly, which many college students simply can’t do.
In fact, when Huang Baihan was a bootlicker last year, he was very vain and always posted things on his QQ space that he considered to be "bourgeois, luxurious, and stylish."
Later, after I broke up with Xu Yue, I suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.
Not only did I delete all this cultural garbage, but during the time when the store was being renovated, because I often hung out with the hard-working workers, I gradually returned to my down-to-earth nature.
Therefore, the character of the goddess (god) can also affect the preferences of the pursuer to a certain extent.
As the old saying goes, he who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black.
"Have you ever been in love?"
This was one of the two questions that Zhu Xiuxiu was most curious about, but Huang Baihan felt a little embarrassed after hearing it. He smiled shyly and said nothing, as if he felt that it was too complicated to talk about intimate things with such a young friend.
Zhu Xiuxiu’s second curious question is, what is your relationship with Mou Jiawen?
She had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to confirm them clearly.
Because asking too directly might affect Chen Zhuo's plan, the strong fire of gossip was forcibly extinguished under the cover of taking a big sip of smoothie.
"gone!"
After eating, Zhu Xiuxiu wiped her mouth and slapped the six-dollar bill on the table.
"Minister Zhu, I ask you..."
Huang Baihan plans to return the money.
"Alright, alright, stop pushing it!"
Zhu Xiuxiu threw her hands impatiently and muttered to herself, "I can only say that falling into the Land of Enchantment is not your fault, but the enemy is too good at disguise."
After saying that, he carried his bag, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and left in the evening breeze.
Huang Baihan picked up the money. He felt that Senior Sister Zhu seemed to be trying to find out something by asking so many questions tonight, but she didn't say it clearly.
However, the store was about to close, and Huang Baihan wanted to review today's shortcomings with the clerk. This was the unbreakable rule of the Royal Tea Shop, so he put this doubt aside.
……
The so-called "summary before closing the store" is to summon all the store employees together, from top to bottom, to reflect on what they did not do well and what they lacked today.
This has a bit of "criticism and self-criticism", but it's not to the point of "blushing and sweating". Problems found should be solved in a timely manner after discussion. As the saying goes, "there are thousands of lines above and one needle below", we should promote highly motivated employees to play the "leader effect" and implement the "up and down" mechanism, so that those who are capable will have positions and those who fail to perform their duties will be dismissed.
This is certainly not something Huang Baihan would say, but rather something Chen Zhuo occasionally came up with when he was in a poetic mood. A simple and easy-to-understand description is "those who work hard should be paid more, and those who don't should be kicked out early."
In the past, after finishing the summary, we could occasionally go out for a midnight snack, but Da Huang remembered that he had things to do tonight, and he was so drunk that he might not be able to speak clearly, so he closed the door and went back to the dormitory.
On the balcony of the dormitory, Huang Baihan originally planned to contact Xu Yue directly, but he was sticky after a busy day, so he simply took a shower and made a cup of tea before calling Xu Yue comfortably.
It seems that I have to deal with all the problems and only think of her in my free time.
11:40!
“There’s really no love.”
When senior sister Xu Yue received the call, this was the only sad thought in her mind.
She waited from before 9 o'clock until 11:40. She had never been so eager to answer Huang Baihan's call!
Every fucking minute that passed meant that Huang Baihan liked her a little less than before.
"If you don't do something ruthless, it seems like this won't work!"
Xu Yue thought with gritted teeth.
