Chapter 244 Changing of Guards
Yu Jiang and Ran Feng were on the middle shift and had already worked for seven hours. It was officially time for them to get off work.
Kong Lingxi and Huo Jingshu’s pre-job training was not counted as working hours. They worked the night shift and had to work another three hours after having supper.
Dong Manshu and Qi Lecheng work as waiters in shifts, working three hours and resting for two hours, and working three shifts a day.
The two waiters who had not finished their work were now changing shifts early and would have to continue working later.
No one is hungry now, so this midnight snack is just a secondary meal and the main purpose is to chat.
It was supposed to be Dong Manshu and Kong Lingxi, two young variety show stars, who started the conversation. They talked about some difficulties they encountered at work.
Everyone else was complaining as usual, but Qi Lecheng was the only one with a sad face, "The foreman asked me to change my position."
Huo Jingshu asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Many people complained about Le Cheng. Some said he had a bad attitude and some said he scared the kids."
Dong Manshu explained first, and he couldn't help laughing while speaking, and it was almost as if gloating was written on his face.
Qi Lecheng was about to cry, "I accept all of this. Who made me look like this? The most annoying thing is that a customer complained because 'seeing drug dealers affected my appetite'!"
In a movie released at the same time, he played a vicious drug dealer. He acted well and was particularly hated.
"Is it my fault that the audience is so engrossed in the show? Why are you complaining about me? One complaint will deduct 200 yuan from my salary! I worked for a whole day in vain!"
Seeing that he was in tears but had no tears, the others were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After Qi Lecheng vented his emotions, he looked around and said, "My kind brothers and sisters, is there anyone who can switch positions with me?"
Kong Lingxi and Huo Jingshu had finally become familiar with the job of cleaners, so how could they possibly switch jobs with him?
He knew this himself, so he could only focus his attention on Yu Jiang and Ran Feng, "Teacher Yu? Teacher Ran?"
Yu Jiang raised his eyebrows and said, "After deducting 600 yuan, you are already the last one. Why should I switch with you?"
Qi Lecheng was stunned for a moment, and began to play the victim, "Teacher Yu, don't be so heartless! Have you forgotten the days when we fought bloody battles now that you have a new CP?"
Ran Feng immediately put himself in the shoes of the new couple, and then immediately thought of the screen couple clip of Qi Lecheng and his girlfriend on the pink TV...
"Do you have the heart to watch my salary being deducted? Do you want to see me continue to be discriminated against by customers? Do you want my sense of faith as an actor to completely collapse?!"
“……” The whole audience was silent for a long while. It was the first time they saw him like this and no one knew what to say.
In the end, it was the person involved, Yu Jiang, who held his forehead and said, "Teacher Qi, why are you still talking about value? This is pure moral kidnapping."
"How dare I, I just hope to win a little bit of your sympathy."
It's no wonder that people say he scared the child. Now, the look he thought would make Yu Jiang feel pity will only make others think that he is threatening her with his eyes.
Without waiting for Yu Jiang to give a reply, Ran Feng said first: "Teacher Qi, Yu Jiang and I also need time to adapt to our work. Anyway, you will definitely be the last one this time, so why not not change it."
"No!" Qi Lecheng got anxious when he heard this, "Even if I'm the last one, let me feel a little better!"
Kong Lingxi teased, "Brother Lecheng doesn't have the attitude to ask for help, why don't you act like a spoiled child to our teacher Yu, maybe she will agree?"
Qi Lecheng is not the type to act like a spoiled child. His expression changed again and again. He looked at Yu Jiang, "Really? If I act like a spoiled child, we can switch positions?"
Yu Jiang also thought Kong Lingxi's suggestion was quite fresh. "You act like a spoiled child? I've never seen that before. How about you try it?"
"Ahem." Qi Lecheng cleared his throat awkwardly and prepared himself mentally, "Teacher Yu~ please, please, please!"
Although his coquettishness was far from what everyone imagined, it was obvious that he tried his best, and the guests were amused by his contrast.
Being laughed at made him feel even more embarrassed, Qi Lecheng blushed and said, "Is that all right, Mr. Yu?"
Yu Jiang nodded kindly, "Okay, you can go off work, I'll take your place."
"Emma! Thank you, Teacher Yu, for saving my life!"
After the midnight snack party, Qi Lecheng went to the dormitory to sleep, but poor Yu Jiang had to work three extra hours for no apparent reason.
I took off my apron sleeves, put on a waiter's uniform, and prepared to go to the main building to continue working.
Ran Feng, who had changed into private clothes and was already off work, said distressedly: "Why don't I come, you go back and rest first, you have other things to do after the recording is over."
"No, you should go to bed quickly. I'm afraid you'll faint again due to lack of sleep. I'm fine. Teacher Qi has changed his schedule to accommodate me. It's only natural for him to change his position."
Yu Jiang was anxious to familiarize himself with the waiter's job as quickly as possible, so he left in a hurry without waiting for his reply.
The original instructor of the main building, Qi Lecheng, was a handsome young man in his twenties. He took the time to teach Yu Jiang the waiter process seriously and responsibly.
The decoration of the entire Imperial Banquet was ultimately decided by Yu Jiang, so there was no need to waste time getting familiar with the terrain and he could directly start learning how to serve customers.
When transforming from a person who enjoys service to a service provider, mentality is more important than skills.
I have never been a waiter, but I have seen waiters before. As a newcomer, I don’t have to be responsible for complicated tasks such as taking orders and paying the bill, so I adapted quickly.
The three hours should have passed quickly, but unexpectedly, an accident happened just after Yu Jiang took up his post.
Yu Jiang, who was standing at the door smiling and bowing to greet guests, suddenly saw a familiar person walking towards him with a group of bodyguards and assistants.
He almost couldn't maintain the smile on his face, it froze there, with a weird expression on his face, and it took him a long time to recover.
When he actually entered the door, Yu Jiang still bowed dutifully and said welcome. Xue Qingyu walked a step slower to avoid her bow.
As a senior member of the Royal Banquet, the lobby manager came out to receive him personally and took him to a secluded private room to avoid being disturbed by other customers.
Yu Jiang stood there thinking to himself, this guy definitely wasn't acting on a whim, he knew she came here on purpose, there must be some unspeakable secret.
Before he could finish thinking, the lobby manager came over and said, "Mr. Xue wants you to come over to serve him, please..."
Yu Jiang declined, "Manager, I haven't received formal pre-job training yet. It's not good for me to serve customers directly, right?"
The lobby manager was also in a dilemma. "But this is a customer's request. It's a reasonable request. We can't refuse it, right?"
Yu Jiang had no choice but to go over, she still had to record the show, so she didn't want that guy to keep bothering her.
In the private room on the third floor, Yu Jiang knocked on the door and went in, holding the food ordering equipment.
Seeing her come in, Xue Qingyu stood up and said, "Ah Yu..."
"Hello, customer. Can I order now?"
As soon as he shouted, he was interrupted by Yu Jiang. There was a camera following her and she didn't have time to chat with him.
