Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

The reason Lu Yuan initially put Hu Lili in charge of Xue Wang Milk Tea was mainly because she would be more attentive, and also because she lived there, making it more convenient for her to handle some management tasks than for him to do them himself.

But watching her come downstairs, Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

Hu Lili was furious when she heard this.

"Brother, you don't trust me at all."

"I was cooking for them, and I'm just washing the pot now that they've finished eating."

"I can testify to that."

Lu Qin added from the side.

The others nodded in agreement, indicating that Lu Yuan had misunderstood this point.

Lu Yuan, who had been so self-righteous just moments before, paused slightly upon hearing this, then turned to look at Hu Lili and said with a smile.

"Is that really true? Why didn't you explain? If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have had this misunderstanding. Look at the mess this has made."

"How could I possibly have a chance to explain?"

Hu Lili snorted: "It's just that Grandpa thinks it's a bit too hard for you to do this every day, so he thought of cooking something to save you some money."

"That's a good idea, but I'm worried that Grandpa Hu might get tired."

"Come on, Grandpa hasn't had anything to do all this time. He said he's practically growing mold at home, so he needs to find something to do."

Mentioning Grandpa Hu, Hu Lili couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. She just couldn't understand why her grandfather couldn't just sit and rest.

Why does he have to be so busy? It's as if only in this way can he feel that he is truly alive.

Lu Yuan understood what Grandpa Hu was thinking. The old man had worked hard all his life. If he didn't continue like this, then what should he do next?

It would be better to let him do some easy work.

In addition, since Grandpa Hu originally made breakfast, he would find cooking a real task easy.

"In that case, let Grandpa Hu cook a few more meals in the future. That way, we won't have to eat out anymore, and we won't have to worry about the cost of meals. Consider it a benefit from the restaurant."

"That won't do. My grandfather said he's already received a lot of care from you."

Hu Lili shook her head repeatedly. It seemed that Grandpa Hu had already guessed these things, so he never gave her a chance to refuse from the beginning.

Lu Yuan didn't explain anything; if he didn't want it, he didn't want it.

At worst, he can just put it all into Hu Lili's salary. Anyway, the money will definitely be given. As the one paying, why would he worry that Grandpa Hu won't accept it?

He wasn't worried about this at all.

Su Jiancheng watched Hu Lili and Lu Yuan interact with a hint of surprise.

"Boss Lu seems very approachable, not like a typical boss, more like a friend?"

That's because it's always you I'm talking to.

Su Qing said something from the side.

Lu Qin overheard their conversation and spoke calmly.

"If you have nothing else to do, make the most of your time to practice some more, so you don't fail the assessment and get fired."

It's a bit strange, but Hu Lili, the store manager, is easy to talk to everyone, while Lu Qin, the assistant store manager, is much more approachable.

He casually uttered a few words, and the group immediately tensed up. None of them even had the thought of refuting him; they all took the initiative to bow their heads and admit their mistakes in front of him.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Qin with interest and asked a question.

"Looks like you've got it?"

"Of course."

"Want to give it a try?"

When Lu Yuan heard her say that, he smiled and asked her what was going on.

Lu Qin nodded and immediately began to demonstrate.

He first placed lemon slices in the lemon juice, then used a pestle to press them down to extract the juice. Next, he added some fructose, ice cubes, and purified water, and a glass of lemonade was ready.

Then, without looking anywhere else, she started making other milk teas.

She knew everything about the entire production area perfectly. She didn't even need to look at what was there; she could find things just by picking them up, and she was incredibly steady with her hands.

This can be easily accomplished with just a little effort.

She worked quickly and efficiently, making all the milk tea in about five minutes.

This speed impressed everyone else.

Actually, when Lu Qin first became the assistant store manager, no one said anything, but no one truly recognized her.

But once she demonstrated her abilities, all the doubts disappeared.

Not only is the person capable, but they also learn quickly and perform well.

This is the difference between people.

Lu Yuan looked at the milk tea in front of him, picked up a cup and tasted it.

Seeing this, Lu Qin smiled slightly and spoke confidently.

"Doesn't it taste better than what you make?"

"really."

Lu Yuan nodded without denying it.

He deduced the steps based on his previous experiences with the drinks, so they were generally correct.

Even the specific flavor needs to be slightly different.

However, Lu Qin had obviously taken care of all these things, so he didn't need to worry about anything anymore.

"I feel relieved to have you here. You can take charge of evaluating the others as well."

"OK."

Lu Qin nodded.

The other employees looked troubled; there was no way to satisfy Lu Qin, as her requirements were very high.

Lu Qin glanced at these people and said without any politeness.

"Don't be so dejected here. Do you think you got that money for nothing? If you don't want to, just tell me now and leave."

As his voice fell, the others froze in place, shaking their heads to indicate their willingness to stay.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan seemed to have seen something new, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled and said.

"That's definitely different. Making you the assistant store manager was the right decision."

"Lu Qin is really amazing..."

Hu Lili, who was standing to the side, started to boast about it, and Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

"I've appointed you as store manager, not to be a hands-off manager. You need to voice your opinions and ideas and act like a store manager."

"understood."

Hu Lili nodded.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Those who make milk tea need to have a share, so remember to learn from them."

"All right."

Hu Lili wanted to argue, but after noticing Lu Yuan's gaze, she quickly shrank back, indicating that she would not disappoint him.

After explaining all this, Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Qin and asked a question.

"It seems you should already know about this, why don't we have a proper talk?"

Lu Qin glanced at the others and nodded: "But not here."
