Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

At 9:30 p.m., Gu Lin went outside to inform the customers who were still in line.

"Excuse me, everyone, we are in our soft opening today. We will not be serving customers after 9:30."

As compensation, Gu Lin distributed several 50-yuan vouchers, promising they could be used at any time, and also gave them several bags of rice crackers.

After seeing off the customers, the kitchen prepared a meal for the staff, and everyone spent another half hour cleaning the store thoroughly.

Xu Bo clapped his hands and gathered the employees in the middle of the hall to begin a debriefing meeting.

"The trial operation today was a great success. I'll talk about the issues later. I'll distribute the money to everyone first."

As employees, everyone can enjoy profit-sharing rewards.

Gu Lin prepared a small notebook, in which she wrote down each customer's complaints and her praise for each waiter.

Xu Bo pulled out a small blackboard, which was filled with the names of all the employees. He also marked tally marks on the blackboard according to the number of times each employee was mentioned in the notebook.

Kitchen and cleaning staff also have their own incentive considerations.

Ten minutes later, Xu Bo took a thick stack of banknotes from the cash register and placed it on the table, then called over the employee whose name appeared most frequently.

The man's name is Zhao Chunlei. He looks to be in his early twenties. He dropped out of school to work and is currently a full-time employee.

He still has a professional smile on his face, but it looks a bit stiff and tired.

"You were told by the customer today that you provided the best service and smiled the most. Here's two hundred yuan as a reward for you. I hope you'll keep up the good work."

Two hundred yuan is almost a month's salary for an employee, and this is just an incentive bonus for one afternoon.

While others watched with envy, they secretly resolved to provide even better service starting tomorrow, so that more customers would praise them.

"These are from the kitchen. You can divide them up. The dishes were very good today, and the customers generally gave them very positive feedback." Xu Bo handed a stack of banknotes to Wang Kangmei.

They've been working very hard all night.

Wang Kangmei smiled sheepishly, genuinely happy now. The work here was similar to what he did at the restaurant before, but the pay was much better. He really wanted to retire here in Xubo for the rest of his life.

After distributing the banknotes, Xu Bo pointed out some areas for improvement based on the notes.

It was almost 11 o'clock when the store employees began to leave one after another. People living nearby or students working part-time would leave in groups.

Meanwhile, the staff dormitories in the back area also went to the supermarket in twos and threes to buy a couple of bottles of beer, and after returning to the dormitory, they chatted and drank together before taking a nap.

Xu Bo did not object to this, but simply instructed that the staff dormitory should be kept clean and tidy.

"Great job, Xiao Bo, you've made a killing today."

Four men and two women were walking back to school when Yu Haoqi suddenly said proudly, looking at today's sales figures.

"That's right, I really didn't expect that today's sales would be more than my parents earn in a year of farming."

Du Qinglong, stroking his bald head, sighed and said that his parents toiled in the fields all year round and still couldn't earn a third of what they made in a single day.

With a grin, Xu Bo simply sighed silently. His business model required a huge investment, and the amount of money he spent as incentives was also enormous.

Despite the huge gains, the costs were also high. If it weren't for Wang Yan, this hidden rich second-generation, Xu Bo would probably be burdened with high-interest loans by now.

"Keep up the good work, there'll be bread eventually."

After the group passed through the school gate, Xu Bo kept his right hand in his pocket the whole time.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Gu Lin asked curiously. Just now in the store, Xu Bo kept putting his hands in his pockets, and now he hadn't taken them out at all.

"Trying to look cool," Xu Bo said softly, lighting a cigarette.

After passing the small auditorium, the group parted ways. The three boys went straight back to their dormitories, while Xu Bo escorted the two girls back.

Xu Bo kept glancing at Gu Lin, but Gu Lin, instead of leaving immediately after receiving his gaze, grabbed Bai Feifei's arm, and the two girls walked and talked intimately, which infuriated Xu Bo.

"Gu Lin, I might not be able to get there on time tomorrow morning. I have classes, so please clean the shop thoroughly as soon as possible."

In preparation for the upcoming National Day holiday, the department leaders adjusted the courses for freshmen, and classes were scheduled for Sundays and Sundays in September.

This applies to most second-year students as well.

Xu Bo said that the store will officially open for business at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. In the morning, some dishes will arrive at the store, and some fireworks and firecrackers will need to be lit.

"Okay, no problem, I have a class tomorrow afternoon."

After being escorted downstairs, Gu Lin and Bai Feifei exchanged phone numbers, then Gu Lin looked at Xu Bo with complicated expressions.

This guy always knows how to win a girl's heart. Although Bai Feifei looked apprehensive and seemed quite embarrassed when she mentioned that Xu Bo bought her the phone.

But the joy deep in her eyes was already impossible to hide; no one can resist something new and exciting.

Seeing Bai Feifei smile, Xu Bo also became happy and immediately reached out and wrapped his body around her.

"What do you think of my taste? Isn't this phone gorgeous? What's it called... oh right, a couple's set!"

Upon hearing this, especially the words "couple's style," Bai Feifei blushed instantly, spreading from her neck to behind her ears. Xu Bo could feel the burning heat emanating from her.

Gu Lin spat and said, "Be mindful of your behavior; this is downstairs in the girls' dormitory."

Although it was meant as a joke, it sounded like a warning to Xu Bo.

After all, Qu Xuanru also lived in this dormitory building.

Realizing he had gotten a little carried away, Xu Bo quickly withdrew his hands, straightened his posture, and quietly moved a few steps away from Bai Feifei.

He looked up without making a sound, and seeing that the girls he had eaten with that afternoon were not by the window, he relaxed and said.

"Go back quickly, it's getting a bit cold outside. Let me know when you get there."

The last sentence was said to Bai Feifei.

After saying that, Xu Bo turned to leave, but after taking two steps he remembered something and turned back to say something.

"Don't be stingy with the phone bill; I just topped up your phone with two hundred yuan this afternoon."

Xu Bo was worried that the girl wouldn't send him a text message because she was reluctant to spend the money on phone calls, so he warned her, "If you don't send me a text message, I'll take your phone back tomorrow."

Seeing Bai Feifei nod seriously, Xu Bo felt relieved and left without hesitation.

Back downstairs in the dormitory, Xu Bo finally took his right hand out of his pocket, took out his phone, and checked his call history.

Luo Qiaoqiao made more than thirty calls in the past half hour, but Xu Bo was busy and didn't have time to answer them.

The last call was at 11:03.

Xu Bo pressed the button on his phone to call back. He didn't know who was still awake at the girl's house, but he had to make the call anyway, otherwise Luo Qiaoqiao would definitely nag him endlessly on the phone tomorrow.

But after making two calls, no one answered.

"Let's think about what to say tomorrow."

With a sigh, Xu Bo went upstairs, washed up, and chatted with his roommate for a while, dreaming about a bright future.

And so the day passed by in a daze, half asleep.
