The Prince's Beloved Little Wife
Chapter 352 Preparations for Charity Events (Part 1)
After the princes, princesses, and their brother and sister-in-law embarked on their joyful tour by bus, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han immediately threw themselves into preparations for a charity sale to raise funds for the Rainbow Bridge Welfare Home. Their hearts were filled with love for the children at the welfare home, and they hoped that through this sale, they could raise more funds and supplies for them.
To ensure a diverse and abundant selection of items for the charity sale, they decided to begin by collecting various delicious pastries and exquisite handicrafts from the Eastern Ling Kingdom. Upon returning to the Jing Prince's residence, Ouyang Han swiftly sprang into action. He instructed his steward to direct the servants to extensively search for all sorts of snacks, pastries, and handicrafts both within and outside the capital. These servants, fully aware of the importance of this mission, spared no effort in their efforts, hoping to contribute their share to the charity sale.
Meanwhile, Chen Mengyao, along with Ouyang Han, utilized her unique teleportation ability to travel to other towns and collect more delicacies and handicrafts. They traversed various towns, gathering local specialties and diverse handicrafts. These pastries and delicacies not only met the needs of the charity sale but also satisfied Chen Mengyao's cravings. They also carefully selected exquisite antique vases, calligraphy and paintings, and novelties from different places, hoping these unique items would attract more attention.
For three whole days, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han traveled all over the country, collecting a large number of delicious foods, pastries, and handicrafts. They stored all these precious items in their personal space for the charity sale. During these three days, Chen Mengyao also specially arranged for the folk pastry chefs she had previously hired for the health center to make many exquisite pastries. These pastry chefs were highly skilled, and the pastries they made were perfect in color, aroma, and taste, making them mouthwatering. In addition, Shen Mushang also donated various exquisite handicrafts, adding even more highlights to the charity sale.
Besides collecting pastries and handicrafts, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han also teleported to the residences of various princes and princesses to collect pastries. They knew that the pastries in these royal residences were all of the highest quality, not only with unique flavors but also exquisite craftsmanship. Therefore, they spared no effort in collecting various delicious pastries, hoping to add more color to the charity sale. Finally, they also went to the imperial palace, collecting various pastries, delicacies, nourishing soups, and sweet soups. These palace delicacies not only tasted excellent but also had auspicious meanings, making them very suitable for the charity sale.
While collecting delicious food, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han also sought out some novelties from the Crown Prince for auction. These items not only had aesthetic value but also some collectible significance. They believed that these novelties would attract a lot of attention at the charity sale, raising more funds for the children at the orphanage.
In addition, Ouyang Han had someone pack up delicacies and snacks from all the restaurants in Beijing and put them in the space. These restaurants each had their own unique characteristics; some were delicious, while others had unique preparation methods. They hoped to bring these foods to the charity sale, allowing more people to experience the culinary culture of Beijing.
After several busy days, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han finally returned to the villa, satisfied. They quietly awaited news from their friends about finding a venue for them. Although the preparations were extremely demanding, their hearts were filled with joy and anticipation. They knew that this charity sale was not only an opportunity to raise funds, but also an opportunity to spread love and hope. They looked forward to the sale, hoping to bring more warmth and care to the children of Rainbow Bridge Welfare Home.
However, while they anxiously awaited news about the driving test location, Ouyang Han remained highly attentive, constantly monitoring the progress of the technology team members' driving test. Through frequent communication and inquiries, he learned that all members reported doing quite well and were full of confidence. According to them, there were only two more tests left, which they would complete in about two weeks. As for receiving their driver's licenses, they would have to wait another month. Upon learning this, Ouyang Han's satisfaction was palpable. He believed that the technology team members would definitely obtain their licenses smoothly, adding even more strength to the team.
Meanwhile, Chen Mengyao was also busy with the setup of her online store. She called Manager Wang at the supermarket to inquire if they had found a suitable person to help her create the store. Manager Wang laughed heartily on the other end of the phone and told her that they had found a talented person named Li Huashan. Li Huashan had graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science and was extremely knowledgeable about computers; he could be considered an expert in the field. Moreover, Manager Wang had already arranged for him to begin setting up the online store, which was expected to be completed in about a week. Hearing this good news, Chen Mengyao finally felt relieved and repeatedly expressed her understanding and gratitude.
Next, Chen Mengyao discussed recruitment with Manager Wang. She explained that she had recently posted job openings for online store customer service staff, packaging personnel, and computer specialists on recruitment websites. However, considering her busy schedule, she didn't have much time to interview these candidates, so she wanted to change the contact number on those listings to Manager Wang's. Simultaneously, she immediately posted job openings for a health spa, hiring waitresses, kitchen helpers, and dishwashers, again including Manager Wang's phone number on the post. After posting, she told Manager Wang, hoping he could help interview these employees. Manager Wang readily agreed, saying he would do his best to assist her with these tasks.
The moment Chen Mengyao hung up the phone, without a moment's hesitation, she meticulously listed all the employee requirements for operating the online store and quickly sent them to Manager Wang. She knew that a successful online store depended on the hard work and professional competence of every employee in every position.
In her employee requirements, she specifically emphasized that customer service staff, acting as a bridge between the online store and customers, must possess excellent communication skills and an aesthetic eye, capable of responding quickly and accurately to customer inquiries and needs. They must also have fast typing speeds to ensure customers don't become impatient while waiting. Packaging staff also need aesthetic sense, as their work directly impacts the customer's first impression upon receiving the goods. Furthermore, packaging staff must be patient, meticulous, and efficient to ensure every item is properly packaged and safely delivered to the customer.
Computer staff provide the technical support for online store operations. They need to be innovative and constantly explore new technologies to improve operational efficiency. A good aesthetic sense is also essential, as they are responsible for tasks such as image editing, product uploading, and website maintenance. The online store's marketing staff needs excellent communication skills, a flexible mind, and creativity to plan attractive promotional campaigns that draw more traffic and attention to the store.
Chen Mengyao also pointed out that service industry personnel need to possess qualities such as diligence, a willingness to endure hardship, honesty, and a lack of cunning. Especially for waiters and waitresses, who directly interact with customers, patience, excellent communication skills, and quick reflexes are essential. Only in this way can a pleasant shopping experience be ensured.
Regarding salary and benefits, Chen Mengyao also provided a clear plan. She proposed a three-month probationary period with a salary of 3,500 yuan. After becoming a full-time employee, the salary will increase to 6,000 yuan, with two meals provided and accommodation included. However, it should be noted that employees are responsible for their own water, electricity, and gas bills for accommodation. For online store staff, the salary is 5,000 yuan per month, with customer service staff receiving additional commissions. This salary and benefits package reflects the online store's recognition of its employees' hard work and ensures their basic living needs. Similarly, they also enjoy the benefit of two meals provided, but accommodation costs are their own responsibility. This arrangement demonstrates the online store's care and consideration while ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the online store.
After receiving Chen Mengyao's request, Manager Wang said she fully understood her task. Chen Mengyao added that she would later open a card specifically for public expenses, including monthly employee activity funds, various handling fees, transportation costs, meal expenses, and telephone bills, etc. She requested that Manager Wang clearly list the required expenses and deduct them from the card, while also specifying the exact amount for each expense.
If any public facilities in the supermarket, such as shelves, lights, cash registers, computers, or clogged restrooms, need to be replaced or repaired, the costs should be listed out, and payment will be made to him at the same time for replacement or repair. After hearing this series of instructions, Manager Wang said he fully understood her requirements and promised to strictly follow her instructions.
Furthermore, after careful consideration, Chen Mengyao explained her thoughts to Manager Wang. She stated that given the current heavy workload and complexity, if Manager Wang couldn't handle it alone, they could consider hiring two assistants to help with various tasks. The selection of these two assistants was crucial; they needed to be highly responsible, loyal, reliable, and honest, as well as quick-witted, adaptable to the work environment, and efficient in completing assigned tasks.
When discussing assistant compensation, Chen Mengyao demonstrated her thoughtfulness and attentiveness. She suggested that Manager Wang shouldn't be too rigid and could decide on reasonable salaries for the assistants based on current market rates and standards. This would ensure the attraction of excellent talent while also making the assistants feel the company's sincerity and care, thus motivating them to work more diligently.
Chen Mengyao also emphasized the importance of the reward mechanism. She promised that as long as Manager Wang and his assistant team could handle the tasks she assigned in an orderly and proper manner, she would not only pay their salaries on time and in full, but also deposit a generous bonus into Manager Wang's salary account. This bonus was both an affirmation of their hard work and an incentive for their outstanding performance.
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang's face hardened with determination. He expressed his complete understanding and acceptance of Chen Mengyao's arrangements and solemnly promised to do his utmost to complete these tasks, living up to her trust and expectations. He knew that this was not only a responsibility but also an honor, and he would lead his team to dedicate themselves fully to contributing to the company's development.
Three days later, one morning, Chen Mengyao finally received good news. A man named Zhou Luochuan called to say he had found a suitable venue for her charity sale and had also sourced a considerable number of items. Hearing this, Chen Mengyao was overjoyed, quickly expressing her gratitude and saying she could come over right away. After hanging up, she eagerly shared the good news with Ouyang Han. Ouyang Han was also very happy, and the two immediately decided to go to the venue together. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope that the charity sale would be a complete success.
The two drove through bustling streets, finally arriving at the venue Zhou Luochuan had carefully chosen—a spacious plaza in the city center. The plaza was teeming with people, a vibrant mix of voices creating a lively atmosphere that added anticipation and energy to the upcoming charity sale. Surrounded by towering buildings, the plaza exuded a modern feel, and amidst this bustling scene, a charity sale brimming with love was about to unfold.
Zhou Luochuan had been waiting there for quite some time, his figure standing out conspicuously in the bustling crowd. Beside him were piles of all sorts of items for sale, a dazzling array that was hard to look away from. From exquisite handicrafts to ingenious secondhand books, and everyday practical items, each item carried a heavy weight of love and hope, as if telling a heartwarming story.
Zhou Luochuan warmly greeted him and gave a detailed introduction to the venue, including the flow of people and the best placement locations, showing that every detail was carefully considered. He also excitedly mentioned that he had contacted several well-known local media outlets to promote the event, ensuring that the charity sale would receive sufficient attention and that more people would participate in this charitable cause.
Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han listened attentively to Zhou Luochuan's introduction while inspecting the venue, their eyes shining with seriousness and anticipation. The three discussed how to best arrange the items for sale to attract the attention of passersby. They decided to categorize the items according to their type and characteristics, then add brightly colored decorations to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Furthermore, they ingeniously set up an interactive area, allowing participants to contribute to charity by engaging in fun games and activities while purchasing goods.
