361: Chapter 361: Booming Business 361: Chapter 361: Booming Business The hotel had been bustling from 12 noon, staying busy until 2:30 in the afternoon.
During those more than two hours, not only were all the staff in the hotel busy, but both Li Han and Chen Yang were also quite exhausted.
At the peak of the guest flow, Chen Yang even donned a waiter’s uniform to serve custors.
After finally finishing up, Chen Yang let out a long breath and lay down on the sofa in Li Han’s office.
“I’m dead tired, it was really hectic, it looks like we need to hire more staff, otherwise we definitely won’t keep up.”
Chen Yang said wearily.
Seeing how exhausted Chen Yang was, Li Han walked over with a smile and began massaging Chen Yang’s shoulders from behind.
“This is just the first day, it’s bound to get even busier later, you’re going to be busy these next few days.”
Li Han said with a smile while massaging.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang felt a headache coming on, but earning money was an unavoidable necessity.
“Then let’s hire more people.
Today was already stretched thin.
If it gets any busier, we definitely won’t be able to manage.”
Chen Yang said helplessly.
He had never imagined that an advertisent could lead to such a hectic outco.
If he had known, he would have prepared earlier and hired more staff.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already posted the job advertisent, but recruiting people definitely won’t be quick, so you’ll still need to work hard for a few more days.”
Li Han said with a smile.
“Mm-hmm.”
Chen Yang nodded and didn’t say anything.
He lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Han was massaging Chen Yang when soone knocked on the door.
Startled by the knock, Li Han, like a frightened rabbit, imdiately let go of Chen Yang’s shoulders,
fearing that others might witness this intimate scene.
“Who is it?”
Chen Yang was roused.
He looked towards the door and asked.
“Don’t know, should be soone from the kitchen.”
Li Han cald herself, then spoke up saying co in.
Imdiately, the office door was pushed open, and indeed, it was soone from the kitchen.
“Manager Li, you and Mr.
Chen haven’t had lunch yet, right?
Chef Wang has prepared the als, please co downstairs and eat sothing,”
the chef said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, both Li Han and Chen Yang rembered that they hadn’t eaten for the whole afternoon due to their busy schedules.
“Alright, we’ll co down now.”
Li Han nodded in agreent, then the person left.
Then, Li Han turned to Chen Yang, “Let’s go, let’s go eat sothing, don’t starve yourself.”
“Alright.”
Having been busy all afternoon, Chen Yang was indeed very hungry.
He followed Li Han out of the office to the second floor.
After the guests had left, the staff took a short break and then imdiately started cleaning up all the private rooms and the banquet hall,
sorting out things like dishes and food scraps.
Seeing the staff busying themselves, Li Han generously offered drinks to all the hotel’s employees.
Initially, the employees were listless,
but hearing about the drinks suddenly lifted their spirits.
A bottle of drink wasn’t expensive, but the effect it had was very good.
While everyone was bustling, Chen Yang and Li Han quickly ate their al and rushed back to the office to discuss what to do next.
With such a large volu of custors, the whole hotel was under significant pressure.
Although they could manage for now, no one knew how many people would co in the future.
“Chen Yang, I’ll start recruiting this afternoon.
You should check the kitchen.
I suspect that we are running out of the herbs needed for the dicinal als, so we need to order a large batch and you’ll also need to help with processing them,”
Li Han said from her seat in the office.
After resting a while, Chen Yang had fully regained his energy.
“Alright, then I’ll go check the kitchen.
If indeed we are out, I’ll head out to purchase more.”
Chen Yang decisively agreed.
He then turned and walked out of the office, taking the elevator to the kitchen.
Today, aside from the waitstaff, the kitchen was the busiest part of the hotel.
When Chen Yang arrived at the kitchen, all the kitchen staff were sitting in the backyard, enjoying the breeze and resting with cigarettes.
As soon as they saw Chen Yang, Wang De imdiately stood up and approached him for a chat.
Chen Yang explained his purpose and asked if there was enough herbal dicine, as he was ready to go procure so.
“Brother, you’re really sothing.
You guessed it right!
I was just about to go report this to boss Li.
We’re running low on herbal dicine at the hotel, likely needing procurent,”
Wang De said, sowhat surprised.
“In that case, I’ll go and get so.”
As soon as Chen Yang heard there wasn’t enough, he didn’t dawdle and imdiately turned to go and drive for the procurent.
Wang De wanted to help too, but since Chen Yang felt that he had been busy all afternoon and was tired, he didn’t bring him along.
Instead, he told him to rest properly.
The head chef is very important to the hotel, hence the need for sufficient rest.
Wang De initially just made a polite offer, and once Chen Yang refused, naturally didn’t follow.
Chen Yang drove the van, leaving the Lintianxia Hotel.
Chen Yang was prepared to drive to the largest traditional dicine shop in the county for procurent.
But then he thought, doesn’t Mr.
Li own a traditional dicine shop?
Why not buy from Mr.
Li’s place?
So, Chen Yang directly drove to Mr.
Li’s traditional dicine shop.
Chen Yang had a good mory.
Although he had only followed Mr.
Li there once, he rembered the way.
About half an hour later, Chen Yang’s vehicle stopped at the entrance of Mr.
Li’s traditional dicine shop.
Chen Yang got out of the car and walked straight in.
He looked around, Mr.
Li was not in the store, just a few clerks were busy working.
So Chen Yang directly went over to them.
“Where’s your boss?”
The clerk had seen Chen Yang with Mr.
Li before, so he knew that Chen Yang was Mr.
Li’s friend.
“The boss is upstairs, you can go up and find him,”
the clerk replied.
“Okay.”
Chen Yang nodded and then walked deeper into the shop, following the stairs along the wall to the second floor of the traditional dicine shop.
Mr.
Li’s shop was entirely wooden, giving it a sowhat ancient charm.
The downstairs was the shop, and the upstairs was the dwelling, which was very convenient.
After Chen Yang went upstairs, he imdiately saw Mr.
Li wearing reading glasses, holding an old book, and reading.
Feeling soone coming up the stairs, Mr.
Li instinctively looked towards the staircase.
Seeing it was Chen Yang, he looked slightly surprised, “Yang Zi, what brings you here?”
Mr.
Li stood up and took off his glasses.
“I ca to buy so herbal dicine,”
Chen Yang walked over and said.
“Buying herbal dicine?
Sure, my shop isn’t very big, but there’s still plenty of herbal dicine,”
Mr.
Li said with a smile, making a welcoming gesture for Chen Yang to sit down.
Chen Yang didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat down opposite Mr.
Li.
Mr.
Li picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for Chen Yang.
While doing so, he asked, “By the way, Yang Zi, how was the hotel business today?
I received your hotel’s flyer early this morning; the effect must be quite good, right?”
Speaking of the hotel’s business, Chen Yang imdiately expressed his gratitude, “Yes, the business at the hotel is very good, all thanks to your help, otherwise we wouldn’t have had such good results.”
Chen Yang spoke very politely, treating Mr.
Li with complete respect as a senior.
Mr.
Li was very pleased to hear this and laughed heartily.
“As long as the business is good, my fear was that it wouldn’t work,”
Mr.
Li casually chatted and laughed with Chen Yang, getting a rough understanding of the hotel’s situation, then Chen Yang clarified his purpose.
“Mr.
Li, I ca to buy dicine today also because the business at the hotel is too good, so we’re running low on dicinal ingredients for the dicinal dishes, that’s why I ca to your shop for procurent,”
Chen Yang clarified his purpose.
