Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Grandpa?"

Lu Feng's gaze lingered on Hu Xiaoyun in the queue for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Hu Daye beside him.

Looking at the faces of the old and the young that bore some resemblance, he suddenly realized the truth.

No wonder he felt Hu Xiaoyun looked somewhat familiar when he saw her in the shop yesterday; it turned out she was Hu Daye's granddaughter!

Seeing this, Hu Daye hurriedly introduced them: "Xiao Lu, she's the one I told you about before, my granddaughter Hu Xiaoyun, she studies at Jiangcheng University."

Hu Xiaoyun lowered her head somewhat bashfully, her face flushed red, and greeted Lu Feng in a low voice: "Hello, Boss."

"So your name is Hu Xiaoyun, hello hello." Lu Feng looked at Hu Xiaoyun, a friendly smile appearing on his face.

"Boss?"

Hearing his granddaughter's address for Lu Feng, a puzzled expression involuntarily appeared on Hu Daye's face. He looked at his granddaughter and asked: "Xiaoyun, Xiao Lu is your boss?"

Hu Xiaoyun nodded lightly, looked at Hu Daye, and explained: "I saw the hiring notice for a waiter posted at the store entrance yesterday, so I thought I'd come try it out. Today is my first day on the job."

Hu Daye nodded in sudden realization after hearing this, a smile involuntarily rising on his face.

He knew his granddaughter worked part-time during her spare time at school, but he hadn't expected the place she was working part-time this time would actually be Lu Feng's shop.

This really was quite a coincidence.

He himself delivered vegetables to Lu Feng's shop, and his granddaughter worked here as a waiter for Lu Feng.

The grandfather and granddaughter had unintentionally become colleagues.

Hu Daye recalled that when his granddaughter worked part-time at the supermarket before, every time she came home her face always carried a hint of fatigue; it looked like the work there wasn't easy.

He had also advised his granddaughter not to do part-time work anymore, but Hu Xiaoyun said it was to accumulate social experience and refused to give up easily.

Now learning his granddaughter worked at Lu Feng's place, Hu Daye was a hundred percent relieved.

After interacting with Lu Feng for a long time, he increasingly felt Lu Feng was a trustworthy person.

Young as he was, he was not only capable but also kind-hearted.

His own granddaughter working here in the future would be far better than working anywhere else.

"Right, aren't you here to work today? Why did you run over here to queue?"

Lu Feng looked at Hu Xiaoyun still standing in the queue and asked with a puzzled face.

No wonder he hadn't seen hide nor hair of Hu Xiaoyun since he arrived at Food Street just now; he thought she was late on her first day of work, but it turned out she was queuing here.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoyun only then realized she was still standing in the queue, and hurriedly walked out of the queue with a red face.

Then she explained the situation just now to Lu Feng somewhat embarrassedly. After Lu Feng understood, he couldn't help but laugh and cry as he shook his head.

He hadn't expected Hu Xiaoyun to encounter this kind of thing on her first day of work; it seemed the diners in his shop had quite strong awareness against queue-cutting.

Those diners probably took Hu Xiaoyun for a customer coming to eat at his place too, so no wonder she was chased to the back of the queue.

Even his own brother Li Jiang has to queue to eat at his shop, let alone Hu Xiaoyun.

Lu Feng led the two into the shop. On the way, Hu Xiaoyun learned from her grandfather that Lu Feng was actually that kind-hearted person her grandfather had mentioned to her before.

She had originally thought that after earning money later, she would buy something to thank that kind-hearted person her grandfather spoke of face-to-face; she never expected that person would actually be her current boss.

Looking at Lu Feng's back walking ahead, Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel a few more degrees of gratitude and admiration for this boss.

After putting down the fresh vegetables he brought, Hu Daye didn't forget to instruct his granddaughter before leaving: "Xiaoyun, you work hard here at Xiao Lu's, don't cause trouble for others."

Hu Xiaoyun nodded obediently. Actually, without her grandfather's special instruction, she had already made up her mind to work hard here.

In her view, a part-time job with a boss this nice and such good treatment was simply impossible to find even with a lantern; she would definitely cherish this opportunity well.

After Hu Daye left, Lu Feng brought Hu Xiaoyun to sit down at an empty table in the hall.

Hu Xiaoyun took out her ID card and health certificate from her pocket and handed them to Lu Feng, then sat up straight and proper.

Only she and Lu Feng were left in the shop, which made her feel a bit nervous again.

Lu Feng took them, glanced at them, then handed them back. Looking at her restrained appearance, he smiled reassuringly: "You don't need to be nervous, relax a bit. Have you eaten?"

Hu Xiaoyun shook her head, then immediately added: "It's fine, Boss, I'm not hungry. I'll eat back at school after I get off work later."

Lu Feng nodded, then began explaining Hu Xiaoyun's work content to her.

"You came to the shop to eat yesterday too, so you should understand some of the shop's rules. I'll go over them again for you."

Lu Feng pointed outside: "First, you just witnessed it too. Our shop's customers are quite sensitive about queue-cutting. If anyone cuts the queue in the future and causes other diners' dissatisfaction, you must dissuade them promptly, don't let them start a dispute."

Hu Xiaoyun hurriedly took out the small notebook she carried with her and recorded it word for word seriously.

"Next is about the shop's dishes."

Lu Feng continued, pointing at the price list on the wall: "All dishes in our shop are clearly priced. Each person can only purchase one portion per day. If there are special circumstances requiring the purchase limit to be lifted, I'll tell you in advance."

"Also, food cannot be wasted in the shop. If a customer orders but doesn't finish, you must remind them. If the customer doesn't listen, then they won't be served in the future."

Hu Xiaoyun nodded seriously after hearing this, and quickly continued recording in her small notebook.

"Next is a relatively important point, which is our shop's business hours." Lu Feng thought for a moment and said: "Our shop's business hours these few weeks are not fixed. This week it's 6 PM to 7 PM. For the next few weeks, every Monday I'll tell you the business hours. You must remember them."

Hu Xiaoyun's hand, which had been writing rapidly to take notes, stopped. She raised her head with some surprise and asked: "Boss, does unfixed business hours mean... any time is possible?"

"Right." Lu Feng smiled and nodded: "For example, last week the business hours were 3 AM to 6 AM."

"..."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Hu Xiaoyun's face. It wasn't that she thought working a night shift was hard, but she was a bit worried: if she encountered daytime business hours in the future, what would she do since she still had classes?

Such a good part-time job, she had originally planned to keep doing it even after summer vacation ended.

But for her, the most important thing right now was still her studies. If the part-time job affected her schooling, that she could not accept.

Lu Feng looked at the worried appearance on her face, understood the concerns in her heart, and so said with a smile: "Regarding this point, you don't need to worry too much. If next week it's business hours at dawn or during the day when you have class, you don't have to come over. I can handle it alone. Of course the salary will still be calculated as usual. And barring any accidents, the business hours will stabilize in a few weeks. From now on I plan to set them around seven or eight in the evening."

Hu Xiaoyun, after hearing this, only then set her mind at ease, and then immediately said: "Boss, if next week it's business at dawn, I can also come over. Daytime business is also fine. When I don't have many classes, I can also ask for leave and come over to work."

Lu Feng shook his head, his tone carrying a few parts of an indisputable flavor: "No need. If it's daytime, you just attend class with peace of mind. I can manage alone."

Hu Xiaoyun, after hearing this, couldn't help but have her favorable impression of Lu Feng increase by a few degrees.

She previously did part-time work at a supermarket. Sometimes the school suddenly had something requiring her to ask for leave. That supermarket manager every time showed great reluctance. Asking for leave not only meant no salary, sometimes they even deducted money.

Bosses as reasonable and understanding as Lu Feng are really too few nowadays.
