C145 It's just an excuse

Just as Lu Shan was hesitating on where he could teach Ah Ruo how to play the zither, he heard the Hu Manager suddenly come over enthusiastically and said: "It doesn't matter, isn't it just teaching for around ten to twenty minutes? You can just teach them here! "

"Ah …"

When Lu Shan and Ah Ruo heard this, they couldn't help but be startled. They didn't understand how this Hu Manager could be so reasonable.

But Lu Shan still refused and said: "I'm afraid that's not good! You're still doing business here, but I'm here learning the zither from Miss Ah Ruo. This … The sound of the zither that Miss Ah Ruo released must be very wonderful, but if a beginner like me were to play around here and ruin the elegance of the guests sitting around here, wouldn't that be bad? "

Hu Manager quickly said: "That won't happen, our coffee shop's main theme is elegance and romance, and Sir, for the sake of giving my girlfriend a surprise on her birthday, you specially came here to learn how to play the piano. This is quite a romantic affair, it suits our coffee shop's main theme very well! Don't worry about it... I'll go over and explain it to everyone in the room, and I'm sure they'll understand and support you! "Good luck …"

After Hu Manager finished speaking, he nodded towards Ah Ruo and instructed him, "Teach this mister a lesson. As for the payment for the school fees that this mister has mentioned … I don't think so! Such a romantic thing, we have to make it happen. Talking about money would be a bit tacky, wouldn't it? "

"Ugh …" Good Hu Manager! "

Ah Ruo felt a little speechless. Actually, she wasn't prepared to take Lu Shan's money. She would feel bad if she just taught him for ten or twenty minutes and paid him three hundred yuan. After all, she needed to play the piano for nearly four hours a day in this coffee shop, so she only earned 180 yuan a day. If it was like this, even if she taught Lu Shan for half an hour, she would only be able to charge him thirty yuan at most. It would be better if she didn't want it. She would just treat it as a good thing!

But now that the Hu Manager had said that, it meant that he was using his status as the manager to suppress, which made him very uncomfortable.

Lu Shan also felt that it was not so good. He had paid with work, but had reaped rewards, so giving her some rewards was only right. Moreover, a few hundred dollars was nothing to Lu Shan right now. If it was because of what Hu Manager said, and Ah Ruo did not put in all her effort to teach him, wouldn't he be the one suffering?

But before he could say anything, he heard Hu Manager add, "Of course... In view of your recent good performance, since you played the piano here, our coffee shop business has been much better than before, I decided... From today onwards, your nightly salary will be increased by 80 yuan. "

"Ah …" It's true! "

Hearing that, Ah Ruo was surprised, she immediately bowed and expressed her thanks: "Thank you, Hu Manager!"

Her salary had increased by 80 yuan a day, and she would be here for a part-time job for around 20 days a month. This was way better than earning Lu Shan three hundred yuan at once.

It was only then that she realized she was mistaken about Hu Manager. Hu Manager did not really want to use his identity as the manager to pressure her, but to change the way he paid her!

Of course she wouldn't know … In truth, Hu Manager had long planned to give her a raise. And in fact, it was because … Ever since Ah Ruo came to be a pianist, the business in the coffee shop at night and on Sunday was obviously better than before.

Since Ah Ruo was good for the coffee shop's business, the Hu Manager would naturally think of a way to keep her here for the long term. What could be more effective than giving her a raise if she wanted to keep a part-time worker?

Only, Hu Manager had never decided whether he wanted to give Ah Ruo a raise of 50 yuan or 80 yuan. After all, Ah Ruo was still a student of the Music Academy, and she had not even passed the examinations for the piano.

But after meeting with this matter today, Hu Manager had decided that it didn't matter if he gave Ah Ruo a bit more salary as long as he could be satisfied with Lu Shan.

She had already suspected that Lu Shan was Chen Jiarou's boyfriend, but when Lu Shan suddenly mentioned that he wanted to get to know Ah Ruo, she thought that she was wrong!

But he didn't expect that … The reason why Lu Shan wanted to meet Ah Ruo was not because he wanted to pick up a girl like his, but rather because he wanted to learn to play the piano from Ah Ruo and present him to his girlfriend as a birthday present.

And skew... When the orders from headquarters arrived this afternoon, and Chen Jiarou was officially promoted to the general manager of Yangchuan City, the Hu Manager, who was more skilled in drilling, asked the personnel department of the hotel to investigate Chen Jiarou secretly and found out that Chen Jiarou's birthday was in a few days time.

This time, it immediately matched up with … The girlfriend that Lu Shan was talking about must definitely be Chen Jiarou!

When she thought about how Lu Shan learned to play the piano to congratulate Chen Jiarou on his birthday, that Hu Manager had to cooperate! If anyone else wanted to come here and learn how to play the zither from a zither master during the opening hours of their coffee shop, Hu Manager would definitely tell them to scram as far away as possible. But now, this person who was messing around was the general manager's "boyfriend".

After she finished speaking, she immediately returned to her office and took out a dozen cards.

These cards are used by the coffee shop for promotional purposes in the coming days. Customers who come to their coffee shop to spend their money can get a free cup of coffee for less than one hundred yuan. So you can also say... This card was almost like a voucher worth one hundred yuan.

After Hu Manager took out the dozen cards, he began to explain them to the customers at the next table.

At this time, Lu Shan had already started to learn to play "Happy Birthday" from Ah Ruo. Although Lu Shan was not stupid, it was his first time encountering a piano, and he was still unclear on which keys to play. Thus, he tried playing it twice and found that it was rather unpleasant to listen to. At this time, some of the guests had already started to frown in dissatisfaction.

But after hearing Hu Manager's explanation … Especially after receiving the free cards from the Hu Manager, then... With such a small voice, he was naturally able to tolerate it.

After the Hu Manager explained in this way, he gave out sixty free cards. This was equivalent to more than six thousand yuan! Of course, even if the price of a cup of coffee was one hundred yuan, the actual cost wasn't that high. However, the coffee shop would still lose quite a bit from the distribution of the cards. However … Hu Manager did not care about this, and treated it as a promotional event. As long as they could befriend Lu Shan … If Lu Shan could say a few good words to her at Chen Jiarou's place, it would all be worth it!

But what she didn't know was that what Lu Shan had just said was just a temporary excuse …
