After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

After the tea house on the mountaintop was closed, all of the dozen or so tea masters were dismissed.

Those with extensive work experience went directly to other teahouses to apply for jobs.

It is said that the store manager and the supervisor teamed up with several tea masters and prepared to find a new location so that they could take the opportunity to open their own teahouse.

Lan Yujuan subtly inquired about the salaries and benefits of the tea masters at the mountaintop tea house.

Besides the store manager and supervisor, the tea masters at the top of the mountain are paid 1500 yuan per month for the first three months of their internship, including room and board, with no commission.

If you can successfully become a full-time employee after three months, your base salary will increase to 3500-4000, which is linked to your seniority, plus commission.

However, only the store manager and supervisor have higher commissions. Ordinary tea masters earn at most a few hundred yuan a month, and very few can earn more than 5000 yuan a month.

When the conversation turned to the treatment at the mountaintop teahouse, Lan Qingqing listened from the side and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"So it sounds like those pretty tea masters don't get paid much, about the same as regular waiters."

After saying that, he added, "No, for ordinary waiters, if they promote drinks well, their commissions can be much higher than those who sell tea!"

The barista next to him listened and explained in a low voice, "But it's still not quite the same."

"Their tea house not only provides food and accommodation, but also beautiful uniforms, all made of cotton and linen Hanfu, making you look like a fairy."

"The tea house has a nice environment, nestled against the mountains and by the water, and the work isn't tiring. The customers we serve are also quite sober and well-mannered."

"In addition, they can also learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting at the tea house for free to improve their self-cultivation."

"In short, after working at the tea house for a while, their demeanor changed."

The new barista's tone was clearly tinged with envy as he said this.

Lan Qingqing raised an eyebrow, her mind clear, and went straight to the point.

"If you had to choose between a tea master earning around 4000 yuan a month at the mountaintop and a barista earning 6000 yuan or more a month halfway up the mountain, which would you choose?"

The barista, who had been dazed, immediately snapped to attention upon hearing about wages and said earnestly:

"Then of course I'll choose 6000!"

"I'm here to work and earn money, so naturally I'll choose whichever job offers the best pay!"

"Besides, even if it's just an internship at our coffee shop, the salary and benefits are better than at the tea house on the mountaintop."

Lan Qingqing laughed and chimed in, "That's right! They have Hanfu to wear, and we even get aprons!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Lan Yujuan stood to the side and did not ask any further questions, but quietly gave Lan Qingqing a look.

Lan Qingqing hadn't thought much about it at first; she was just there to hear some gossip and join in the fun.

At that moment, their eyes met and they instantly understood each other.

Lan Qingqing immediately pulled the barista aside and whispered:

"By the way, our coffee shop is planning to open a branch, and we're preparing to recruit a few baristas in advance for training. They'll be paid during their internship, and room and board will be provided."

"If you get along well and have a good relationship with them, you could ask them if they'd like to come and give it a try?"

The barista's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this. "You're hiring? That's great!"

"My friend has been really worried these past few days, he's been having trouble finding a job and is hoping I can help him find one."

Lan Qingqing was initially very interested, but upon hearing this, she immediately began to hesitate.

"Your friend is having trouble finding a job? Why is that?"

"Could something be wrong with her?"

Lan Qingqing hadn't thought much of it at first, but upon hearing these words, she began to feel wary.

The barista quickly explained, "My friend is a great person; she's beautiful and reliable!"

"It's not entirely her fault that she didn't get the job!"

"The main problem is that she only has a tea ceremony master's certificate. Although she is qualified, her qualifications are not high, and she doesn't have many clients."

"If I go to work at another teahouse, I'll have to start all over again. For the first three months, I'll only get the basic salary of an intern barista."

"There were even some small teahouses that, upon hearing that she had been dismissed from the mountaintop teahouse, were worried that she would be implicated and dared not hire her at all."

"But besides making tea, she doesn't have any other skills."

"She was unwilling to work as a regular waitress, feeling it offered no future. So her job search became a stalemate."

Lan Qingqing nodded, now she understood.

"Okay, go back and ask your friend if she'd be willing to give our coffee shop a try."

"Finding a job is a two-way selection process, so don't force yourself."

Upon hearing this, the new barista was immediately eager to try it out and couldn't wait to call his friend on the spot.

But then he thought about it again and became a little nervous. He stepped forward, grabbed Lan Qingqing's arm, and asked with a fawning smile:

"Qingqing, I know you're the best to us!"

"I'd like to ask, if I recommend my friend for an interview, how much will their monthly salary be? And how long does it typically take to become a full-time employee?"

Lan Qingqing glanced down, then gently pried the hand that was tightly wrapped around her arm off, her face hardening, and said with red ears:

"Don't try to get close to me!"

"The store has regulations regarding intern salaries. The first month is the internship period, with a base salary of 2500 yuan and no commission. Room and board are provided."

"If you pass the basic exam after one month, and your work attitude is positive and good, you can be promoted to a permanent position and your salary will be the same as yours."

"If I remember correctly, your take-home pay, commission, and Mid-Autumn Festival bonus this month should be close to seven thousand, right?"

Although the barista's hand was pushed away, he immediately grinned after receiving Lan Qingqing's confirmation.

"Okay, when I get back tonight, I'll tell my friend to come for the interview as soon as possible!"

Lan Yujuan did not expect that after she spread the news, five tea masters from the mountaintop would call the shop to apply for the job.

Finally, all five interviews were scheduled for the same morning.

She originally wanted to delegate authority and hand over the interviews to Qi Lei and Lan Qingqing so she could relax and have some peace and quiet.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the interview, Qi Lei and Lan Qingqing, who had always worked together smoothly, started arguing in the backyard because of the interview!

The two had a fierce argument, which angered Qi Lei so much that he threatened to quit and resign!

At the time of the incident, Lan Yujuan was in seclusion on the second floor creating her artwork.

Upon receiving the message, I hurried downstairs and rushed to the backyard.

Qi Lei was so angry that he took off his apron and threw it on the ground next to him, and tried to rush out, but was stopped by Lin Feng, who happened to be in the store.

Lan Qingqing's eyes also reddened with anger, and she stamped her foot angrily, her voice trembling with tears:

"Why are you stopping him? Let him go!"

"Anyway, the people I like, the ones I think have potential, he doesn't even glance at!"

"He doesn't look down on others; I think he has a problem with me and looks down on me!"

Lan Yujuan's temples throbbed when she saw this scene.

She subtly gave Lin Feng a look, signaling him to calm the two down first, then turned around to check the surveillance footage and find out what happened from the other people present.

The reason for the incident was simple: out of the five people interviewed, Lan Qingqing thought they were all good, and in the end, she chose the best of the best and selected three of them.

However, Qi Lei, who was standing next to him, kept a straight face and didn't seem to like any of them.

They didn't give a specific reason, they just said it wouldn't work.

His attitude directly angered Lan Qingqing.

Lan Qingqing immediately got angry and asked a few questions in return. The two started arguing, and the argument got more and more heated until it became uncontrollable.

After reviewing the interview process, Lan Yujuan roughly understood what was going on and first called Qi Lei to the lounge for a talk.

Why do you think that the three people Qingqing has chosen aren't quite right for her?

She poured Qi Lei a glass of warm water, then sat down opposite him and asked with a smile.

Qi Lei was also stunned with anger and blurted out:

"Lan Qingqing is such an idiot! She thinks everyone is perfect just because someone is pretty!"

"Those women are so arrogant, they clearly don't even look at her!"

"If I successfully get the permanent position, the first thing I'll do is figure out how to replace her and oust her!"

"Is she hiring someone to do the work, or to be a tyrant?"

"Hiring someone like that is obviously unmanageable and won't learn properly. She won't be able to lead the business to the branch, and I'll have to clean up her messes!"

"It's smoky and polluted, I don't want that!"
