Chapter 64: Promote Yang He as Deputy
Gu Xiaoyou saw that Yang He worked meticulously, and her idea of handing over Youlian Paper Shop to him became firmer.
Yang He finished putting the pots and asked shyly: "Is there anything you need my help with?"
"No." Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou said in unison.
Yang He's expression suddenly felt a little at a loss, and Gu Xiaoyou said funnyly: "If you can't sit still, go next door and call Liang'er."
"I'll go right away." Yang He nodded, turned and left the kitchen.
It happened that Zhu Cheng had also cut up the roast chicken, and Gu Xiaoyou glanced at it: "You can take it to the main hall, and wait there for dinner."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Cheng responded honestly and walked away with the roast chicken.
After a while, Liang'er was brought over by Yang He, and Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou were almost ready.
They brought the dishes to the table. Yang He and Zhu Cheng quickly stood up to help. The four of them walked several times between the kitchen and the main hall. In a short time, the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.
Although the dishes are not exquisite, they are steaming hot and the air is filled with aroma.
Gu Xiaoyou poured herbal tea into everyone's cups. She picked up the tea cups: "Thank you for coming to my Wenju Banquet, and thank you all for your hard work during this period. I will use tea instead of wine. Let's do it first.
Out of respect."
Gu Xiaoyou picked up the tea cup and drank all the herbal tea in it. After drinking, he gestured to them with the empty cup.
Yang He, Zhu Cheng, and Zhou quickly picked up the tea cups and drank the herbal tea in them. Liang'er followed their example and took a big sip of the herbal tea, her little face wrinkled with pain.
"Okay, let's use the chopsticks." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
Gu Xiaoyou picked up the chopsticks and picked up the nearest dish, while others started to use their chopsticks.
Gu Xiaoyou took a few bites of the food and observed the expressions of the people on the table. Zhou and Liang'er ate their food naturally, and Zhu Cheng also had the same innocent expression on his face as usual.
Only Yang He's expression was a little reserved, and his chopsticks were only holding the dishes in front of him.
Gu Xiaoyou picked up a few dishes with serving chopsticks, put them into Yang He's bowl, and said helplessly: "There are so many good dishes, don't just eat what's in front of you, stand up and pick them up if you can't reach them."
When Yang He heard this, his delicate white face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know where to move his hands and feet.
"I...the food in front of me is very good."
Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the jealous cabbage in front of him and joked funnyly: "Are you a rabbit? Do you just like to eat green vegetables?"
Yang He's face became even redder, and his neck became red as well. Gu Xiaoyou was afraid that his temperature would explode and he would faint.
Gu Xiaoyou sighed and said softly: "Yang He, are you afraid of me? Although I am your boss, I am quite easy-going."
Yang He quickly shook his head and denied: "I'm not afraid of you, but... I just saw you nervous."
"Why are you nervous? I'm not a tiger." Gu Xiaoyou comforted: "Just treat me as a friend and you won't be nervous."
Yang He nodded shyly, still not daring to look at Gu Xiaoyou.
Gu Xiaoyou knew that such a person who was afraid of the leader could not be forced, so he stopped looking at him.
She picked up a few more dishes, put them in Yang He's bowl, and ignored him.
Yang He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced quietly in Gu Xiaoyou's direction, and pursed his lips shyly.
He picked up the chopsticks, put the food Gu Xiaoyou gave him into his mouth, and chewed it slowly, with a faint joy flashing in his eyes.
The dinner came to an end quickly. When Gu Xiaoyou saw that everyone had almost eaten, she put down her chopsticks and cleared her throat.
"I came to you this time. In addition to thanking you, I also have two things to say to you."
Yang He and Zhu Cheng immediately put down their chopsticks, and Zhou and Liang'er also stopped picking up food.
Gu Xiaoyou smiled and said, "You guys eat first, and I'll talk to Yang He first."
Zhu Cheng nodded naively, picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.
Knowing what Gu Xiaoyou was going to say, Mrs. Zhou was a little nervous. She touched Liang'er's head and asked him to continue eating. She looked in the direction of Gu Xiaoyou and Yang He seriously.
Yang He, who was called by Gu Xiaoyou, swallowed his saliva nervously and stuttered: "Gu, Boss Gu, if you have anything, just tell me."
"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing." Gu Xiaoyou smiled at Yang He and said comfortingly.
Yang He calmed down a little, but still looked at Gu Xiaoyou nervously.
Gu Xiaoyou stopped talking and went straight to the point: "You must also know that now I have escaped from a small workshop that makes isatis root."
Yang He nodded when he heard the words, and Gu Xiaoyou continued: "I was in the hospital for a consultation, and Sister Zhou had to run between the workshop and the paper shop. I saw you helping in the paper shop that day, and you were doing a decent job. I want to give it to you.
I will give you a position as Sister Zhou's deputy and deputy shopkeeper in the paper shop."
Yang He's eyes widened: "This is not good, I can't do it."
"Why can't you do it? I've been observing you for two days and asked Sister Zhou and the clerk for their opinions. They all said that you did a good job..."
"But I have never been a shopkeeper..." Yang He said solemnly.
Gu Xiaoyou patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, you don't understand that Sister Zhou will help you. Until you get the hang of it, she will leave it to you completely."
Yang He met Gu Xiaoyou's gaze and responded with a slight blush on his ears: "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try."
Gu Xiaoyou smiled calmly: "That's right, do your best, I'm optimistic about you."
"I will work hard." Yang He said nervously.
Mrs. Zhou quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will help you."
Yang He stood up and bowed to Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou respectively: "Thank you two bosses for your appreciation."
Gu Xiaoyou and Mr. Zhou moved aside. Gu Xiaoyou grabbed Yang He's arm and asked him to stand up: "Okay, don't be polite."
Yang He nodded, his face lifted and his eyes full of smiles.
Zhu Cheng raised his teacup and said carelessly: "Brother Yang, congratulations."
He raised his glass to Yang He and drank the tea in one gulp.
Yang He quickly picked up the tea cup and said politely: "Thank you, Brother Zhu."
After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup.
Gu Xiaoyou waited for the two of them to finish their greetings and said to Zhu Cheng: "The other thing is related to you."
Zhu Cheng said seriously: "Boss Gu, tell me."
"First, please report on the situation of the logistics team in the past few months."
When mentioning the logistics team, Zhu Cheng's expression became more serious. He reported respectfully: "This month's orders have doubled than before. I have hired eight more horsemen to deliver goods to about ten cities every day..."
Yang He looked at Zhu Cheng with envy, wondering when he would be able to act alone like Brother Zhu.
Zhu Cheng finished his detailed report.
Gu Xiaoyou clapped his hands with satisfaction and praised: "Very good, the logistics team's business is good, we can move on to the next stage."
