Chen Shuhan had plans to enter Pujiang very early. Because he was not sure what the policy would be, and the accumulation of funds was not enough, Chen Shuhan was not in a hurry to start business in Pujiang. Instead, under the instigation of Feng Xiaochen, he ran to Tongyuan, Songjiang to open the first branch of the Chuntian Restaurant.

After the Tongyuan branch opened, the business situation was very gratifying. Chen Shuhan struck while the iron was hot and found several prefecture-level cities to open branches. As a result, each branch was doing a prosperous business, which made Chen Shuhan cramp in counting money.

In recent years, the people have some extra money in their pockets and their consumption concepts have gradually been relaxed. Going to restaurants and eating is no longer an unattainable thing. In order to show off their wealth, some people who "get rich first" need to find some high-end restaurants to treat them. They have a strong ability to withstand prices, and at the same time, their requirements for the quality of dishes and service attitude have been continuously improved. From the beginning, the spring restaurant, which was established in accordance with the business philosophy of later generations, just meets the requirements of these people, so they have a lot of guests as soon as they open, becoming a model of high consumption in the local area.

With successful experience in third- and fourth-tier cities, Chen Shuhan turned his attention to first- and second-tier cities. If he had no feelings for Yang Haifan, Chen Shuhan might have chosen Beijing as the first big city he had developed. However, Feng Xiaochen had reservations about opening a branch in Beijing. He felt that Beijing was a relatively sensitive place. In such a period when the national policies were still unclear, opening a high-end restaurant in Beijing might have some unpredictable risks. In view of this, Chen Shuhan decided to open this first big city branch in Pujiang.

Drawing on the experience of opening a branch in Tongyuan, Chen Shuhan found local acquaintances to serve as deputy managers in other cities, which played a role in supervision. This branch in Pujiang should have asked Yang Haifan's family to come out to help, but after discussing with Chen Shuhan, she felt that it was inappropriate to do so. The major shareholder of Chuntian Restaurant is Feng Xiaochen, and Chen Shuhan can only be regarded as a manager. If the branch in Pujiang invites Yang Haifan's family to come out to serve as deputy manager, and Chen Shuhan is the wife of the Yang family, the relationship between this is a bit subtle. It is hard to say whether Feng Xiaochen will have any ideas.

Of course, this is just the concerns of Chen Shuhan and Yang Haifan. From Feng Xiaochen's perspective, this matter doesn't matter. Spring Restaurant is a leisure move played by Feng Xiaochen. Originally, he did not expect this restaurant to be so prosperous. Spring Restaurant can reach its current scale, but it is actually mainly due to Chen Shuhan's credit. Feng Xiaochen told Chen Shuhan a long time ago that Chen Shuhan's management is fully responsible. He will not interfere with any decisions made by Chen Shuhan except for making rational suggestions. Although Chen Shuhan knew that Feng Xiaochen's words were sincere and that Feng Xiaochen's character was always known, she still consciously avoided all actions that might cause misunderstandings. This is also her principle of being a human being.

In addition to honeymoon, Chen Shuhan's main task was to arrange the Pujiang branch. The venue was found before. Bao Chengming, another partner of Feng Xiaochen, had resigned in Jinnan and founded a commercial information company in Pujiang, specializing in the compilation of industrial products and the collection of commercial information. The venue he found for Chen Shuhan is located in the downtown area of ​​Pujiang, and is an idle guesthouse for the unit. The rental price of commercial stores in Pujiang is very high. The rent for this guesthouse is about 500,000 yuan a year. After renting it, it will cost the same amount of money to decorate. This money is no longer a big deal for Chen Shuhan. She plans to pay the rent after the New Year and then start the decoration, striving to open in May and June.

With the venue in hand, the next step is to recruit people. Considering that people in big cities have an innate sense of superiority, it is not easy to manage, and the labor cost is also high, Chen Shuhan decided that most of the people would be sent from Nanjiang, including more than a dozen skilled managers, chefs, foremen, etc. drawn from Xinling Main Store, and dozens of young men and women recruited from Tongchuan. When the young people in Tongchuan heard that they had the opportunity to work in Pujiang, they almost didn't even ask about their salary, so they signed up. Chen Shuhan selected dozens of people with the most picky eyes, all of whom were handsome men and beautiful girls, promising to include food and accommodation, plus a monthly salary of 30 yuan. Everyone thought it was a great opportunity.

Of course, if a store is to be opened locally, it is not possible to have a local employee. Fan Ying is a local supervisor that Chen Shuhan likes. Chen Shuhan initially decided to recruit Fan Ying to work in the branch. The bigger reason was to help Yang Haifan take care of his old classmates. After contacting Fan Ying, he saw Fan Ying's pastry making skills. Chen Shuhan felt that he had picked up a treasure. Such a capable, simple and friendly local Pujiang native who also has some friendship with him can play a role that is not comparable to an ordinary employee.

"500 yuan a month?"

Fan Ying and her husband Du Junbin were both dumbfounded. Now the salary of an ordinary cadre is about 50 yuan. What kind of virtue does Fan Ying have? How can he get a monthly salary of 500 yuan? 500 yuan is a number that can allow a family like them to enter a well-off society immediately, and it is also a number that they dare not dream of.

"Xiao Chen, are you right? Do you want to say 500 yuan a year?"

Fan Ying reminded timidly that she felt that 500 yuan a year was a relatively normal number. Of course, if it was such a standard, she might have to hesitate. After all, the money she can make at this wonton stall now is slightly more than this.

Chen Shuhan shook his head and said, "Sister Fan, I'm right. It's 500 yuan a month. The salary of our restaurant is calculated based on the ability and performance of employees, and it's not over. Our chefs' monthly salary is several hundred yuan. The two skills I mentioned are not as good as your pastry chefs. Their salary is also 200 yuan a month. I want to ask Sister Fan to be a face-to-face orderer for our Pujiang branch, and also be responsible for the daily management of the branch. If you encounter some things that deal with local governments, you may have to ask Sister Fan to find an acquaintance. For so many things, 500 yuan a month is not too much. I just don't know if Sister Fan is willing to come and help me."

"This..." Fan Ying hesitated a little. She looked at Yang Haifan and said, "Haifan, is what Xiao Chen said true?"

Yang Haifan nodded and said, "Yes, what Shuhan said is true. In fact, Shuhan and I are from the same group company, and our company's mechanism is very flexible. I used to be in the bearing company, and our front-line workers earned high wages, which were hundreds of dollars a month. This is the rule set by our boss. He said that first-class talents must receive first-class wages."

"Your boss is not a foreigner, right? Or is it an overseas Chinese," Fan Ying guessed.

Yang Haifan smiled and said, "He is not a foreigner. He is also an educated youth. By the way, he was a educated youth with Shuhan back then. However, he is very smart and courageous. In just a few years, he built such a large group. I am now responsible for the construction of a construction machinery company in the group, with a total investment of no less than 40 million US dollars."

"40 million... or US dollars?" Du Junbin said astonished, "Haifan, are you the ones who are responsible for the establishment of this company? Then aren't you the top leader?"

"Yes, the boss can trust me, let me take responsibility." Yang Haifan said with a little smugness. The so-called wealth and no return home is like walking in a brocade dress at night. Yang Haifan must have found someone to brag about such a glorious matter. Some of the classmates looked down on Yang Haifan, thinking that he stayed in Nanjiang and became a countryman. Yang Haifan wanted them to know that their current state was something they had to look up to.

"If that's the case... I'll agree." Fan Ying gritted her teeth and said. After that, she said to Chen Shuhan in a sincere tone: "Xiao Chen, I can go ahead with all the jobs you mentioned. For example, I can find some connections in opening a hotel, such as the industry, commerce, taxation, hygiene, and fire protection units, and I can handle it easily on a daily basis. I don't need that much salary, otherwise... I'll get two hundred and fifty."

When she said she would give her salary a half discount, Fan Ying beat her. She did think that a monthly salary of 500 yuan was too hot. She was afraid that her contribution would be sorry for such a high salary, which would make her old classmates embarrassed. However, it was quite heartbreaking to give her money to her door. She felt that she regretted her words as soon as she said it. Why did she say that she had a half discount, or 6.5% off, wouldn’t it be okay?

Chen Shuhan smiled and said, "Sister Fan, there is no need to mention the discount. Besides, 250 is not nice, right? If Sister Fan feels embarrassed to get a high salary, then take time to help us train a few skilled pastry chefs. The next step is to open branches in other cities, the more talents, the better."

"No problem, this is my fault." Fan Ying said enthusiastically.

Chen Shuhan said: "Since Sister Fan agrees, I think our cooperation will start as soon as possible. After the New Year, I will go to the building rental procedures, then start the decoration, and apply for various licenses. I can't stay in Pujiang for too long, but I will send a few people from Xinling. They are not familiar with Pujiang, so they may need Sister Fan to help lead the way and give some advice. By the way, can Sister Fan's house be opened?"

Du Junbin took it and said, "Xiao Chen, don't worry, am I still staying at home? I guarantee to do a good job in logistics so that Fan Ying has no worries."

"Haha, just be a housewife." Fan Ying said to her husband jokingly.
