Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Setting up the Purchasing Officer

Once everyone had taken a seat, Qiulan brought over a few cups of tea. Cheng Su took a sip to moisten her throat, then opened the notebook in her hand.

"I’ve called you all here for a meeting today, and I suppose you already have an idea why," Cheng Su began with a smile. "I have started another business, and since it has just opened, the management team isn’t mature yet. Therefore, I will be spending more time there. That’s also why I’ve decided to promote Qiulan to be the foreman."

Qiulan looked over gratefully.

"Firstly, you’ve been with me from the beginning. You are honest and responsible, willing to work hard without complaints. That’s what I appreciate about you," Cheng Su praised.

"Sister Su, please don’t flatter me, I still have so much to learn from you!" Qiulan said modestly.

"Look, she’s even learned how to talk diplomatically!" Cheng Su laughed, cutting off Qiulan’s attempt to explain further. "I’m not saying you’re insincere. In fact, in the food service industry, we need to ’speak human when we see people and speak ghost when we see ghosts.’ It’s all part of social skills. Everyone likes hearing nice things, don’t they?"

Qiulan blushed.

"There’s no need to go out of your way to butter someone up; just be yourself. Qiulan, you’re a good girl, pure enough, but that’s not all there is to it. You need to show some backbone, to get tough. Now that you’re in charge of just two or three people, it’s a great opportunity to practice. In the future, if our restaurant expands, as the first foreman, you may even get promoted further. Then you’ll have more people under you, and without some courage and the ability to command respect, you won’t be able to manage a team effectively."

Qiulan quickly responded, "Sister Su, I will learn diligently, please teach me more."

Cheng Su nodded thoughtfully, then added, "Even though we work, we can still continue to learn. Read books, take classes, learn specialized knowledge relevant to your field. Like now, you’re in the food service industry; you could study something like hotel management. Spare some time to learn—little by little every day—and one day, you’ll have a wealth of knowledge."
