Su Qingqing was perfectly normal at work, just a bit shy, but after listening to her analysis, Lin Tian felt as if he had struck gold.
Such talent, a mere financial manager position would be beneath her capabilities, but Lin Tian had no intention of promoting her too quickly, as promoting her too hastily would only harm her. Without achievements, a sudden rise would make others unconvinced, and she would have difficulty carrying out her work. Worse yet, there might be those who would accuse her of being kept by the boss.
"It’s not necessarily a good thing for the bar to have such profits in a short time." After thinking it over, Lin Tian decided to test her and said, "Let me ask you, if the bar only operated as a high-class establishment and cut out the low-end part, what do you think the bar’s profit would be like?"
The young lady thought earnestly for a moment, then looked up and said, "Profits would decline at the beginning, but after some time they would rise and would be even more than before."
Indeed, a true talent. Lin Tian gave her a thumbs up in appreciation.
With Lin Tian’s recognition, Su Qingqing boldly continued, "The way they ran the bar before, they let all sorts of riffraff in, which turned it into a place filled with dark and heavy air. It seemed prosperous for a short time, but the profits were actually limited. In this regard, I think the previous owners were too short-sighted. The ones who could really bring huge profits to the bar are those top-tier wealthy individuals. The real upper-class tycoons would definitely not go to third-rate bars because they disdain mixing with the riffraff, and they would not come to spend money. That’s the biggest loss."
"Clap, clap, clap..." Lin Tian applauded her brilliant analysis; he couldn’t deny that this little girl could become a business magnate with more training.
"Boss, I was just saying it off the top of my head, you must have thought of this already, right?" Su Qingqing blushed with the praise she received.
"In the future, don’t call me boss, just call me Brother Tian or Brother Lin, calling me boss makes me feel old." Lin Tian shamelessly threw out the suggestion again, being younger than Su Qingqing, he couldn’t let her call him little brother, which would be too face-losing.
A zombie being called little brother by a young girl, even Lin Tian with his thick skin found it unacceptable.
"Okay, Brother Lin... Big Brother." The little girl stammered, still finding it a bit hard to say.
"What you just said was quite good. Look at people like Bai Yufeng, they won’t risk their health for such frivolity, and those people with Li Wenxuan just now, they all pointed out the dark and heavy air of the bar, so you don’t have to worry that you were wrong," Lin Tian encouraged her.
Before leaving, Lin Tian took out his phone and had Su Qingqing take down a number, Xiao Manxue’s number. After she recorded it, he said, "I still think you’re not well-suited for the bar. If you don’t like it either, call this number. A newly opened jewelry company is in urgent need of talent, just say I recommended you."
"Brother Lin, thank you," Su Qingqing said earnestly, boldly meeting Lin Tian’s gaze.
Lin Tian waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to leave. Su Qingqing remained standing, not moving, just watching Lin Tian’s retreating figure.
"Hey, he’s already gone, why are you still watching!" Lu Jia suddenly appeared from behind, patting her on the shoulder.
Caught out on her crush, Su Qingqing quickly looked away, but her pretty face and ears were still flushed with red.
"Qingqing, looking at you, it seems you’ve taken a liking to this new boss," Lu Jia observed her flushed face and teased with a laugh.
The little girl was embarrassed and whispered in defense, "Sister Lu Jia, don’t talk nonsense, I... I’m just simply grateful to the boss, that’s all."
"So nervous, yet you dare to say you don’t like him. But it’s true, a man as strong as him is a dragon among men, so it’s normal to like him. However, his world is too far away from ours. The bar is just a tiny stopover in his life, but for us, the job at the bar might be for a lifetime. We are destined not to keep up with a man like him, let alone hold on to him." As Lu Jia spoke, her own eyes began to look dreamy.
After hearing this, Su Qingqing’s eyes dimmed, but then she firmed up, turned to Lu Jia, and said, "Sister Lu Jia, I don’t want to work at the bar anymore."
"Why? You are valued by the boss now, and you have a promising future. If you leave the bar, where will you find a job with such a high salary?" Lu Jia came back to her senses and said in surprise.
"Where to go? I haven’t decided yet, maybe to a jewelry company," said Su Qingqing softly.
"Jewelry company?" Lu Jia was very puzzled. How did a jewelry company suddenly come into the picture?
"Sorry, Sister Lu Jia, you just hired me, and now I am leaving. For the first twenty years, my life passed without turmoil. This time, even if it is chasing an unreachable dream," Su Qingqing said earnestly with apologetic eyes.
Lin Tian, who had already made his way to the first floor, of course, didn’t know that Su Qingqing wanted to resign, but even if he did, it didn’t matter. Everyone has their own path to follow.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Xiao Manxuan drinking juice alone at the bar. She watched with curiosity as a beautiful bartender mixed drinks, captivated by the dazzling techniques.
With Xiao Manxuan’s beauty, naturally, many so-called handsome men wanted to hit on her, but they were all sent packing by the bartender with a few words. This bartender sure had a sharp tongue; a couple of words from her, and those men beat a hasty retreat.
"Beautiful lady, care for a drink?" Lin Tian sat down next to Xiao Manxuan and deliberately said.
The female bartender, seeing another man trying to pick up a girl, didn’t look closely and kept working while saying in an unfriendly tone, "Another one? Beat it, or I won’t be polite, you hear?"
"How exactly do you plan to be impolite, gorgeous?" Lin Tian said laughingly as he looked at the bartender who called herself ’old mother’.
The female bartender looked up, glanced at him, and paused for a moment, clearly recognizing him as the new boss of the bar. She stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly, "Boss? It’s you? I didn’t mean to..."
"Heh, you’re doing a great job. I’ll speak to Manager Lu later about adding a bonus for you this month," Lin Tian chuckled and said.
The female bartender was momentarily stunned, then realizing what Lin Tian meant, she said, "Those men who come to flirt are the most incompetent. They claim to be experts at seducing women. In reality, they’re like dogs wandering around the bar, waiting to take advantage of a woman who’s drunk. They’re just skins and bones looking to feel relevant, so once I call them out, they have no face to stay."
"Impressive, truly impressive." Lin Tian couldn’t help but raise his thumb in admiration, then turned to Xiao Manxuan and said, "Second Miss, let’s go back, or Miss will throw a fit if she finds out I haven’t taken you home so late."
"Humph, my sister is not that fierce. You’re always teasing my sister, and that’s why she gets mad at you. Otherwise, my sister is very gentle," the little girl said, dissatisfied with Lin Tian’s reasoning, as she tilted her face up and huffed.
