On the eighth day of the lunar month, Joy Soon Loy Restaurant opened for business, and Cheng Su prepared a stack of red envelopes, heading to the restaurant early, but someone arrived earlier than her, Old Song.
"Old Song, happy New Year," Cheng Su greeted with a smile.
"Boss, happy New Year, may you become prosperous," Old Song returned the greeting with a smile upon seeing Cheng Su.
Cheng Su handed him a red envelope, "Here, a red envelope for the opening, good luck in starting work."
Old Song accepted graciously and thanked her, then also took out a red envelope from his pocket for her, "This is from an elder, just a little red packet."
"Ah, I didn’t expect to receive a red envelope, thank you," Cheng Su said with a smile as she accepted it.
While talking with Old Song, the employees gradually arrived, taking turns wishing Cheng Su a new year and receiving their red envelopes.
When it was Qiulan’s turn, Cheng Su asked, "There was no sign of anyone at your place yesterday, when did you come back?"
Qiulan yawned and replied, "I didn’t get back until after midnight last night."
"No wonder," Cheng Su gave her a red envelope, "Happy New Year, good luck in starting work, and be even more dedicated this year."
"Yes."
Seeing that all the employees had arrived, Cheng Su clapped her hands, gave a few words of motivation, talking about starting the new year with a new spirit, working together to improve the restaurant, and then she organized everyone to go out for a meal after lunch service.
"Eating out?" Old Song asked.
"Yes, the New Year’s meal, we won’t eat at our place this time, we’ll go eat at another establishment, to see how they do things. Let others serve us for a change," Cheng Su said with a laugh.
The crowd cheered.
After letting everyone disperses, Cheng Su discussed with Old Song where would be a good place to eat, considering they would need to book for so many people.
