Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002 - 1003: All Hostility Dispelled
February 8, a good and auspicious day, is also the reopening day of Joy Soon Loy Restaurant, now renamed to Joy Soon Loy Restaurant.
Early in the morning, Cheng Su dressed up nicely and came to the restaurant to prepare for the opening ceremony. She first called Old Song and Qiulan, who was in charge of the floor, for a briefing, then checked everything inside and out, and gathered all the employees to speak.
Before her, all personnel were in place, including those in charge of the floor, kitchen, cashier, and dish and vegetable washing, all dressed in brand new, unified uniforms. The women wore light makeup, ready to present themselves with a fresh look.
Cheng Su was very satisfied. The overall appearance was uplifting, which pleased her. After all, with a reopening, it is only natural to face customers with a new look.
Similarly, Cheng Su felt emotional. Two years ago, she started this small restaurant on her own, scraping together money and borrowing someone’s private savings, working long hours with just herself and two employees, which later grew to three, four... to now dozens of people.
How much she had given during this time, outsiders would never know, nor was it necessary to say.
Cheng Su gave a smile, looking at all the employees, her red lips slightly parted: "Today is the day our Joy Soon Loy Restaurant officially opens. I am very happy to work with you all, to have the fate to be colleagues and friends. I hope everyone works together and fulfills their duties..." Her words of gratitude were met with enthusiastic applause from the employees.
She glanced at the time, it was almost ten o’clock, and the invited guests should be arriving, so she stepped outside to the entrance.
The others also moved, each taking their role, well-trained and professional.
The opening needed to be well-publicized, and people had already gone out to distribute leaflets offering a 15% discount for the grand opening period.
Cheng Su invited political figures she could reach, like Ying Jian and others, to the opening ceremony. Naturally, all the shareholders were included as well.
Ning Ge was the first to arrive, yawning and dressed in casual clothes.
Cheng Su frowned and said, "You’re a shareholder, can’t you dress a bit more formally?"
Ning Ge wagged his finger and said, "You’re the main character. We’re just shareholders in the background. It’s agreed we only have participation rights!"
Cheng Su rolled her eyes at him.
"Cheng Su."
Cheng Su and Ning Ge turned to see Luh Kai approaching in a black suit, with gold-rimmed glasses, a smile on his lips, and an elegant demeanor.
Ning Ge looked at himself and suddenly felt a bit annoyed. Who was he trying to outshine?
Just as he was about to retort, he saw Luh Kai extend a hand, and behind him, he saw a woman!
With long flowing hair, big eyes, a smile at her lips, wearing a red coat and wool pants, high heels, and gazing at Luh Kai with affection.
Cheng Su curiously looked at the woman, as it was the first time Luh Kai had brought a woman along.
"Luh Kai, who is this..." Ning Ge looked at the woman.
Luh Kai smiled, led her forward, holding her hand, and introduced, "This is my partner, Xie Minyi. Today is the restaurant’s opening, so I brought her to see and also to introduce her to you all!"
"Oh, a partner!" Ning Ge immediately became all smiles, praising, "Truly beautiful, you two are a match made in heaven! When are you treating us to wedding candy?"
All hostility vanished.
Xie Minyi shyly lowered her head, biting her lip and glancing at Luh Kai.
Luh Kai gave a faint smile and looked at Ning Ge, "Soon, get ready for the wedding gift!"
Ning Ge heartily agreed, unknowingly feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart.
