Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Zhou Li nodded; she also knew this request sounded a bit odd.

But this was personally instructed by Boss Guo Mingyuan; supposedly a master was specially consulted to calculate it, and it was set for exactly eleven o'clock tomorrow morning, this auspicious hour, to lay the red carpet.

It is said doing so can bring good luck for the restaurant's opening, and future business will also flourish day by day.

Zhou Li is an atheist; regarding such superstitious talk, she actually doesn't believe it much in her heart.

In her view, for a restaurant to operate smoothly, it relies on solid dish quality, excellent service, and such, not on ethereal rituals.

But after all it is the boss's requirement; as a subordinate she only needs to strictly execute and comply.

"Zong, every corner of the hall and private rooms has been cleaned, all equipment has also been debugged and completed; do you want to personally inspect once more? If there are no problems, I'll arrange for them to get off work first."

The hall manager pointed at the restaurant entrance, where the waiters had already completed all cleaning work and were standing in formation, neat and orderly.

Zhou Li looked along the direction of his finger, only to see the waiters at the restaurant entrance one by one full of spirit, as if soldiers awaiting review.

Zhou Li walked slowly to the front of the formation, her gaze sweeping across every waiter's face.

Then she nodded, a satisfied expression appearing on her face, and said loudly to the waiters: "Mm, not bad, very spirited."

"Tomorrow is the official opening day; this is the most important day for every one of us; everyone remember to change into new uniforms; if there are size mismatches, or wearing them feels uncomfortable, seize the time now to bring it up to your supervisors; tonight is the last chance for exchange."

"Understood, Zong!"

Two rows of waiters answered in unison, stirring up a loud echo in the hall, the sound full of high-spirited fighting spirit.

Zhou Li nodded satisfied once again.

She indeed should feel satisfied.

Although their restaurant's reputation domestically cannot count as top tier, it still has considerable influence.

And as their group's first chain branch in Jiangcheng, whether the branch company or the group headquarters, the investment in this restaurant is very large.

As a high-end restaurant, Sunshinegarden has always been very strict in personnel screening.

The waiters standing before Zhou Li at this moment, every single one is an outstanding talent who stood out after meticulous selection.

Although they are merely waiters by position, almost all are top graduates from prestigious schools; their professional quality is very good.

Of course, those able to pass through layers of selection and ultimately stay here, their work treatment is also extremely good.

As the restaurant's person in charge, Zhou Li understands well the principle "to make the horse run, you must first let the horse eat its fill."

The salary and benefits their restaurant gives, although slightly inferior to those top-tier high-end restaurants, in the same industry they are also far ahead.

Not only basic wages far higher than the industry level, but monthly bonuses, quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses — not a single one is missing.

It is precisely because of this that Sunshinegarden can retain this batch of high-quality service team that is both young and excellent and also possesses professional accomplishment.

At this moment, the front hall waiters stand separately in neat male and female teams, each and every one radiant, aura full.

The male waiters all wear black vests, inner layer pure white shirts, collars tied with exquisite bow ties, lower body crisp black suit trousers, paired with black shiny leather shoes.

They each sport a uniform neat hairstyle, setting off their clear and bright faces, faces all hanging just-right friendly smiles, each and every one exuding a courteous gentlemanly demeanor.

The female waiters on the other side are likewise vest plus white shirt combination, lower body changed to same-color short skirts, outlining slender straight leg lines.

Their faces wear exquisite yet elegant makeup, faces carrying charming smiles.

Judging purely from looks, these waiters each can score above eight points.

Standing in the restaurant, they are a beautiful scenic line.

Zhou Li's gaze slowly swept across every waiter's confident face, then looked at the front hall's gorgeous and exquisite renovation, her face revealing a confident smile.

This high-quality service team before her eyes, plus the company's huge expenditure to build this gorgeously renovated restaurant, as well as that internationally renowned Special Chef Yang Zhenguang's culinary skill hired at great cost.

This opening's competition with that Lu Family Restaurant next door can be said to be a sure win.

No matter how booming the Lu Family Restaurant's business was before, under such all-round dimensionality reduction strike, wanting to surpass their high-end restaurant, however you think it is a difficult-as-reaching-the-sky matter.

"Very good."

Zhou Li collected her thoughts, the smile on her face concealed, once again resuming a serious expression.

She raised her wrist to check the time, then said to the waiters: "Those with nothing to do later get off work early and go back; rest well tonight; everyone tomorrow morning eight o'clock sharp on duty; opening first day, absolutely no one may have the slightest slackness!"

"Understood!"

This time, not only the waiters, but the hall manager standing beside Zhou Li also followed with a loud response.

Then Zhou Li waved her hand, signaling everyone to disperse; the waiters actually left the restaurant in an orderly fashion.

The spacious bright front hall, before long only Zhou Li alone remained.

She carefully inspected the front hall once, then walked toward the back kitchen direction.

…………

The front hall side's preparation work can be considered settled, but the back kitchen side, at this moment is still a scene of bustling busy activity.

Yang Zhenguang wearing a crisp chef's uniform, pacing with steady steps inspecting inside the kitchen.

His sharp gaze swept across every operation counter and ingredient storage cabinet in the back kitchen.

Walking to the kitchen center position, he stopped his steps, looked at the head chef currently directing chefs to finish up, and asked in a deep voice: "Head Chef, the ingredients needed for tomorrow's main dishes, how are they prepared now?"

The head chef is a slightly plump middle-aged man, belly slightly protruding, round face always hanging a kindly smile.

This image of his actually quite matches everyone's fixed impression of a senior chef.

Hearing Yang Zhenguang's question, the head chef smiled and welcomed him over: "Rest assured, General Chef Yang, the ingredients needed for tomorrow's main dishes have already all been prepared!"

While speaking, he led Yang Zhenguang to look in turn at the things in the ingredient storage cabinets: "M9 Wagyu already portioned and cut, refrigerated in batches by cut; imported oysters also just taken out from cold chain boxes, already cleaned; seafood needing on-site processing tomorrow, I've also repeatedly instructed the supplier, tomorrow morning six o'clock sharp delivery, guaranteed freshest."
