Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

As soon as Lin Bufan dragged Yang Tao inside "Brother Biao's Paradise," she was captivated by the scene before her. Compared to the exaggerated "enthronement ceremony" outside, the atmosphere inside the paradise was much more warm and interesting. Just like the main store in Shanghai, this place also makes full use of dogs as "employees."

The receptionist, a Corgi wearing a small red bow tie, sat on a custom-made high stool, a registration book and a small sensor in front of him. Seeing a guest enter, he barked, his short tail wagging cheerfully, and then nudged the touchscreen with his paw, which immediately displayed a welcome message and instructions.

"Oh my God, it really works!" Yang Tao couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, feeling it was both novel and cute.

Lin Bufan also saw this scene and said unhappily, "That bastard Sang Biao is very clever. He is just trying to save costs."

Seeing Yang Tao's confusion, Lin Bufan continued to explain, "Look, these jobs require hiring people to do them, right? But with these dogs, daily dog ​​food is a fixed expense. Whether they work or not, this money can't be saved. Now letting them do these jobs within their capabilities is equivalent to taking advantage of their labor for free."

After listening to Lin Bufan's explanation, Yang Tao pondered it carefully and immediately exclaimed, "According to you... this Sang Biao is not a dog at all. He is clearly a business genius! No, he is a genius among geniuses!"

Yang Tao began to count on her fingers: "Look, using dogs as employees, first of all, as you said, the cost of raising these dogs is fixed, and letting them work is equivalent to increasing human resources at zero cost, which is simply the ultimate way to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Secondly, these employees will never demand social insurances, social housing fund, overtime pay, or file a labor arbitration or lawsuit over unfair treatment. Even if their snacks are withheld or they suffer a slight injustice, they have no place to seek redress, significantly reducing management costs and avoiding countless potential disputes.

Finally, and most importantly, this has created a unique branding effect! It's difficult for other companies to imitate this, as not everyone can train so many professional dog staff. If guests want to experience this novel, heartwarming, and somewhat humorous service, they can only come to Biaoge Paradise! The barrier to entry is simply too high!

With a deeper understanding, Yang Tao's eyes changed when he looked at the busy "dog employees" again. Before, he only thought they were cute and interesting, but now he saw a sense of workmanship. At the same time, Yang Tao's eyes also showed a hint of sympathy. No, I must take one away today to help them out of their suffering!

Lin Bufan naturally didn't know that Yang Tao was mentally staging a "dog-saving campaign" at the moment. He glanced around the bustling park and said to Yang Tao, "Taozi, take a look around here and see which dogs you like. They all have collars with names and work numbers on them. If you like any, write it down and we'll take them away when I come back."

Yang Tao's eyes curved into crescents, and she teased Lin Bufan deliberately: "Then...what if I like them all?"

Lin Bufan waved his hand and said in a domineering tone: "Then let's take them all away! It's no big deal!"

Yang Tao was amused by Lin Bufan's appearance and burst out laughing. Feeling sweet inside, she pushed him and said, "I know that you, Boss Lin, are very capable! Okay, go and do your thing. I'll take a look myself."

Lin Bufan nodded, then turned and walked towards the office area inside the park. He had noticed that Zhu Suosuo had returned here after the enthronement ceremony.

Finding the office with the sign "General Manager", Lin Bufan knocked on the door and pushed it open. Zhu Suosuo was standing behind her desk sorting documents. When she looked up and saw him, a hint of imperceptible joy flashed across her face, but then she deliberately put on a stern face and said sourly, "Hey, isn't this my boss? Why don't you go accompany your beautiful lady? What are you looking for a small clerk like me for?"

Lin Bufan closed the door with his backhand, walked over with a smile, walked around the desk, and naturally hugged Zhu Suosuo from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: "Look at what you said, aren't you my great beauty? Didn't I come all the way here to accompany you?"

Zhu Suosuo's body softened when Lin Bufan held her, but she was still unforgiving and said softly, "You'd better keep this to lie to Nansun. I'm not that easy to fool."

"Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart." Lin Bufan tightened his arms and asked, "Come to think of it, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to Kyoto?"

Zhu Suosuo relaxed her body and leaned against Lin Bufan's arms, explaining, "I just arrived this morning. I wanted to wait until the activities here were completely over and arranged before looking for you. Who knew you would come here by chance today?"

"Doesn't this just prove that we are in tune with each other?"

Thinking that Lin Bufan came here with another beautiful woman, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but roll her eyes!

Lin Bufan naturally didn't care about this, and instead asked Zhu Suosuo's half-sister: "By the way, why didn't you bring Nansun to Kyoto to play this time?"

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo immediately sighed: "Do you think I didn't invite her? I really wanted to drag Nansun along, just to relax. But she was so foresighted and refused without even a second thought."

Lin Bufan listened to the obvious sourness and sarcasm in Zhu Suosuo's words, and he knew clearly that she was definitely not saying anything good. So he tactfully did not respond to Jiang Nansun's question and asked instead, "How is the operation of this branch? I see that with the flow of people today, business is quite brisk."

Seeing that Lin Bufan didn't take the bait, Zhu Suosuo felt even more aggrieved and wanted to complain. She turned around, facing Lin Bufan, crossed her arms, and pouted slightly: "Hey, why don't you ask Nansun why she didn't come? Aren't you curious?"

Lin Bufan looked at Zhu Suosuo's expression of "come and ask me", and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and pinched her cheek: "I'm not curious. Anyway, when it comes out of your mouth, it's definitely not a compliment to me."

"But I want to say it!" Then, without waiting for Lin Bufan to respond, Zhu Suosuo began to talk to herself: "Nansun is very smart and can predict the future! She said, Suosuo, don't drag me in. Lin Bufan must not be alone over there. Who knows what beautiful girl is with him. Why should I go? If I see him, won't it make me upset? It's better to keep it out of sight and out of mind."

Zhu Suosuo sighed again, her expression becoming rather resentful. "It turns out that our Princess Jiang is truly as foresighted as a god! I just arrived and saw someone hanging out with a beautiful lady with outstanding temperament. Tsk tsk, this is quite annoying."

Lin Bufan's face suddenly flashed with embarrassment. He coughed lightly, his brain working rapidly, and was about to explain: "Um... Taozi is actually..."

“Alright, alright,” Zhu Suosuo pouted and interrupted Lin Bufan unhappily: “Don’t bother making excuses. I won’t believe you anyway! Don’t I know you?”

Lin Bufan was choked and felt even more embarrassed. At the same time, he also felt a little sorry for Zhu Suosuo, so he decided to make up for it with practical actions.

Just when Zhu Suosuo was waiting for Lin Bufan to say something to calm her emotions, Lin Bufan suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips without saying a word.

"Ugh!" Zhu Suosuo's eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously put her hand against his chest, protesting vaguely: "Wuwu... What are you doing... Wuwu..."

However, Lin Bufan tightened his arms until he felt Zhu Suosuo's tense body gradually soften, and then he began to move downwards.

Because Yang Tao was still waiting outside, Lin Bufan couldn't help but speed up his movements this time, compressing the exercise that originally took three hours to complete into one hour!

When Lin Bufan left the general manager's office, Zhu Suosuo was already lying on the sofa in the reception area and didn't want to move at all!

Lin Bufan returned to the public area of ​​Biaoge Paradise and saw Yang Tao squatting in front of a seemingly docile golden retriever, smiling and reaching out to stroke its head. The golden retriever was also very friendly, rubbing its head affectionately against Yang Tao's palm and wagging its tail like a flower.

"It seems that you have found your ideal partner?" Lin Bufan walked to Yang Tao, squatted down and touched the golden retriever's head.

Yang Tao's eyes sparkled. "It's called Sunshine, its employee number is J-037, and it's very smart! It just helped me get a bag of snacks from the shelf."

Lin Bufan nodded: "Good vision. So this is it?"

"Yeah!" Yang Tao nodded vigorously, then hesitated again. "But the adoption process seems very complicated. I just looked at the notice board over there, and there are more than a dozen regulations."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Lin Bufan stood up, holding Yang Tao's hand and walked towards the service desk.

A Border Collie, dressed in a small suit, sat behind the reception desk, a custom tablet computer in front of it. Seeing the two approach, it nudged the tablet with its paw, and the words "How may I help you?" appeared on the screen.

Yang Tao was amused by this intelligent service and couldn't help but reach out and touch the Border Collie's head: "It's really smart!"

Lin Bufan smiled and shook his head. This kind of difficult service was obviously not something a dog could do, so he reached out and called the staff of Biaoge Paradise!

"Hello, Mr. Lin!" The female employee obviously recognized Lin Bufan and greeted him respectfully: "How can I help you?"

Lin Bufan pointed at Yang Tao beside him and said, "My friend wants to adopt this golden retriever named Yangguang. His employee number is J-037."

The female employee immediately started operating on the tablet she was carrying: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will check Yangguang's adoption qualifications."

……

Thanks to Lin Bufan's presence, within ten minutes, Yangguang's smart collar was removed and replaced with a regular pet collar and leash. He seemed to understand he had successfully reached shore, and excitedly circled around Yangtao's legs, nuzzling her palm with his wet nose.

"That's great, Yangguang, you will be a member of our family from now on!" Yang Tao squatted down, hugged the golden retriever's big head, her face filled with happiness.

Lin Bufan watched this scene, his lips curling up unconsciously. He thanked the staff, put one arm around Yang Tao's shoulders, and helped her hold the rope of Yangguang with the other hand. "Let's go, take our new member home."

Three people... two people and a dog, left "Biaoge Paradise" with sunny dog ​​items, amid the curious or envious gazes of the surrounding customers.

Because Yang Tao had to go to the hotel to work in the afternoon, Lin Bufan drove her and Yang Guang back to Xue Sumei's house first. As soon as she entered the house, Xue Sumei was shocked to see her daughter coming back with such a big golden retriever.

"Oh my God! Taozi, where did you get such a big dog?" Xue Sumei stood at the door, a little afraid to get close.

Yang Tao smiled and led Yangguang in: "Mom, his name is Yangguang. He is very cute. Bufan and I adopted him from Biaoge Paradise."

Lin Bufan added, "Don't worry, Aunt Xue. Yangguang has received professional training and knows the rules very well. He won't cause trouble at home."

Yangguang seemed to understand and sat obediently at the entrance, looking at Xue Sumei with his head tilted and his tail gently wagging. His docile appearance immediately softened Xue Sumei's heart.

"Oh, you're quite sensible." Xue Sumei tentatively reached out and touched Yangguang's head. Yangguang immediately licked her palm in a friendly manner, which made her laugh: "Okay, okay, then stay home for now. But Taozi, you have to take care of it when you go to work."

"I know, Mom." Yang Tao smiled and led Yangguang to the living room.

At noon, Xue Sumei prepared a table of home-cooked meals. The three of them sat around the table to eat, and Yangguang lay quietly at Yang Tao's feet, without making any noise.

"This dog is really well-trained," Xue Sumei couldn't help but admire Yangguang's well-behaved appearance. "He doesn't make any noise at all during mealtimes. He's more sensible than some children."

They chatted and laughed, and had a very happy lunch. After the meal, Yang Tao looked at the time and said, "Mom, I have to go to the hotel to work this afternoon. Can I leave Yangguang here with you?"

Xue Sumei waved her hand: "Okay, okay, put it here. I think it's quite well behaved."

Lin Bufan sent Yang Tao to the door of the hotel where she worked.

"Hurry up and go in, don't be late." Lin Bufan rolled down the car window and said to Yang Tao who was standing on the side of the road.

Yang Tao bent down and smiled sweetly at Lin Bufan: "I know, you should drive carefully. Wait for my call tonight?"

"Well, I'm always waiting for Manager Yang's call." Lin Bufan smiled and waved his hand, watching Yang Tao turn around, wearing high heels, and walk into the hotel lobby with a swaying figure.

As Yang Tao walked into the hotel lobby, a familiar front desk attendant quickly approached her and said, "Manager Yang, Ms. Huang from the Human Resources Department asked you to go to her office when you arrive."

"Did Mr. Huang say what it was about?" Yang Tao asked.

The waiter shook his head: "No."

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Yang Tao thanked him and turned to walk towards the office of the director of human resources on the executive floor of the hotel with some guesses in his mind.

I knocked on the door gently, and a capable female voice came from inside: "Come in."

Yang Tao pushed the door open and walked in with a professional smile on her face: "Mr. Huang, are you looking for me?"

Behind his desk, Mr. Huang, a man in his late 50s dressed in a formal suit, raised his head and smiled a formulaic smile. "Manager Yang is here. Please take a seat."

Yang Tao sat down in the chair opposite the desk with an elegant posture.

Huang Li didn't get straight to the point. Instead, she exchanged a few pleasantries, asking about Yang Tao's recent work situation. Then, she changed the subject, her tone becoming slightly more serious: "Yang Tao, you've been working in our hotel for many years. Your abilities are obvious to all. Guests and colleagues speak highly of you."

Hearing Mr. Huang's praise, Yang Tao immediately had a guess in his mind about this meeting. It might be related to the contract renewal!
