185: Chapter 185 Small physique needs more exercise! The cafeteria opens!

After confirming Zhong Wei, Su Yang had nothing to do for the moment.

Realizing it was still early, he decided to go for a workout and walked out of his office, only to see Jiang Yuzhen sitting at her workstation, lost in thought.

He tapped on Jiang Yuzhen's desk.

"Boss, is something the matter?" Jiang Yuzhen was startled.

"Do you have nothing to do right now?" Jiang Yuzhen had a bad premonition.

As a professional, she really should say she was busy at a time like this. Even if she wasn't, she had to pretend to be!

But seeing the "affirmative" look in Su Yang's eyes, she knew it was better to be honest: "Not at the moment!"

She knew very well that her boss didn't like employees who talked back. The boss knew exactly how much work she had on her hands!

"Then grab your gym card, we're going to the gym!"

"Huh?!"

"That small frame of yours needs some exercise!" Su Yang said casually. "Working out more will give you more spirit!"

"Alright!" Helplessly, Jiang Yuzhen took her gym card out of the drawer and followed Su Yang downstairs.

In the elevator, Su Yang asked again: "Have you been eating breakfast on time lately?"

"Yes, I have!"

"That's good!" Su Yang watched the flashing floor numbers and said, "If you faint again because you didn't eat breakfast, I'll throw you in the trash can."

Facing her boss's warning, Jiang Yuzhen could only offer a sheepish smile.

Arriving at the gym, it was still a weekday morning, so there were relatively few customers.

Su Yang took Jiang Yuzhen to change into gym clothes. Aside from the gym staff and trainers, many customers greeted Su Yang along the way. They were all old acquaintances!

Then, Su Yang spotted Feng Hua.

Feng Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead and greeted him: "Boss, you're here to work out too?"

"Yeah!" Su Yang looked Feng Hua up and down and praised him, "Not bad physique!"

"Not as good as yours, boss. I'm not as strong as you!"

Feng Hua meant those words sincerely; he felt that Su Yang was truly a gifted talent!

"Carry on!"

"Yeah!"

Su Yang turned on a treadmill and pointed to the one next to his for Jiang Yuzhen. Jiang Yuzhen obediently got on and started jogging.

After working out until close to the lunch break, Su Yang finally went to take a shower at a leisurely pace.

As for Jiang Yuzhen, she had long since reached her limit, gone to shower, and returned to the company to rest.

Before they knew it, as May was nearing its end, the cafeteria for Weimeijia's Jiuxiang Food opened.

Just as work ended, a group of workers flooded into the cafeteria.

As soon as they entered, they smelled the enticing aroma of food.

Through the transparent glass display window, they could see various dishes neatly arranged inside.

And the kitchen aunties, wearing clean white chef uniforms and hats, waiting for them with ladles in hand.

Cao Maowen, a recent university graduate who had just joined Jiuxiang Food, covered his forehead and said to his young colleague Kong Hong beside him: "Why do I feel like I've dreamed of returning to the school cafeteria!"

Kong Hong, who went to the same school as Cao Maowen and joined Jiuxiang Food at the same time, sighed: "I have the same feeling!"

Cao Maowen said: "Couldn't they have hired some young ladies?"

Kong Hong: "I guess aunties are more cost-effective!"

"..."

Kong Hong was actually right!

Hiring a group of middle-aged women was Mei Jingshan's suggestion.

Weimeijia's general manager, An Yukun, also thought the aunties were a good choice!

Anyway, it wasn't like the customers would run away just because there weren't pretty waitresses.

The aunties never had high salary demands. They were very happy to accept wages one tier lower than those at Weimeijia branches.

Moreover, they were generally quite strong—some university boys couldn't even compare to them!

They generally wouldn't ask for maternity leave, making their work more stable!

After Su Yang learned about An Yukun and Mei Jingshan's idea, he didn't have much objection.

Whether they were young girls or middle-aged women, they could all be his employees.

However, he decided that once the cafeteria stabilized, he would also give these aunties a raise.

Or increase attendance bonuses, or implement a service rating system. If anyone received complaints, he would deduct some of their bonus!

Additionally, he needed to provide his own Jiuxiang Food employees with a channel to submit suggestions or complaints. They were his employees, after all!

Cao Maowen paid for his twenty-yuan meal and pointed to the twice-cooked pork in the glass display case.

He saw the auntie take a large slotted spoon and scoop a heaping portion for him.

His heart leaped with joy, then gradually started to tighten... God help him, please don't let her hand shake!

As if favored by the heavens, the auntie's hand did not shake. She dumped the heaping scoop of twice-cooked pork directly onto his tray, piling it up!

Finding a seat, Cao Maowen waved to Kong Hong, who was carrying his tray.

When Kong Hong arrived, Cao Maowen realized that there was just as much meat on Kong Hong's tray.

Cao Maowen said in surprise: "The cafeteria just opened today, and the aunties are so generous? This portion seems even bigger than the 25-yuan set meal at Weimeijia!"

Kong Hong swallowed his saliva and said: "This cafeteria belongs to the boss; maybe the boss doesn't care about this little bit of money!"

"That makes sense!"

Kong Hong picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed: "That's right, this is the taste, Weimeijia!"

Cao Maowen: "It's tastier than the twice-cooked pork I make, and better than the school cafeteria!"

Kong Hong smiled and said: "This taste is already comparable to mine!"

Cao Maowen asked curiously: "You're pretty good at cooking?"

Kong Hong nodded proudly: "Of course, I'll show you my skills sometime!"

"It's a deal!"

"Deal!"

Cao Maowen added: "I just don't know about the hygiene!"

Kong Hong laughed: "Isn't it the same as our food factory? Would you eat the snacks from our food factory?"

Cao Maowen: "I actually did buy some; I like eating meat!"

"Well, there you go, it all comes from the factory!" Kong Hong pointed his chin toward the corner of the cafeteria and said, "Look over there, the boss and the general manager are both eating, what the hell are you afraid of!"

Cao Maowen glanced at the corner and then quickly turned back: "That's true!"

Su Yang was sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, eating with several executives from Jiuxiang Food.

To be honest, as long as he didn't think about the situation in the central kitchen, he felt the food was quite alright.

It wasn't that the central kitchen's hygiene was bad; it was absolutely extremely strict. The ingredients were also very fresh and washed very clean!

It was mainly the semi-mechanized operation of the central kitchen that occasionally reminded him of feeding pigs at home when he was a child...

Thinking of this, he picked up another piece of lean meat and put it in his mouth. Mmmmmm... He was really hungry!

"Tan Yanghong, collect the workers' opinions on the cafeteria. As long as they are within a reasonable range, have Weimeijia resolve them!" Su Yang said while eating. "You are the client now, don't be polite with Weimeijia!"

"Alright!"

Tan Yanghong nodded and looked at An Yukun, who was sitting next to him.

An Yukun quickly stated: "The boss is right. Tan Yanghong, don't be polite. If you have any suggestions, feel free to bring them up. As long as they are reasonable suggestions, we at Weimeijia will seriously make improvements."
