"So what exactly are your plans?" Xiao Jiang asked.

When "Delicious Songxiang" first opened, it was extremely busy, so Song Lingge really wanted to hire some more employees.

Her goal was simple: to get employees to serve her wholeheartedly, provide them with ample benefits, and make sure they weren't too tired.

Let's put ourselves in each other's shoes and work together to run the store well.

However, Aunt Lu and Xiao Jiang refused at that time, preferring to work harder. More importantly, jobs are hard to find, and if business slows down after the initial opening period, they might have to lay off staff. Rather than facing that risk, it's better to eliminate that possibility from the beginning and ensure that the bosses remember their kindness.

It's normal that we didn't know each other well before and each had our own thoughts, but after spending the past six months together, we've gotten to know each other better and now we're truly working together and thinking in the same direction.

“I want to turn Meishi Songxiang into a karaoke bar,” Song Lingge said.

"KTV?" Xiao Jiang repeated awkwardly.

"It's just a place for people to sing."

“Isn’t that an entertainment venue?” Jing Chu said.

Song Lingge nodded: "The food street is all about food, so the crowds are too scattered. We'll provide entertainment, and we'll be the only one there, so business will definitely boom. Even if others follow suit later, it won't matter. After all, we'll be the leader!"

In her past life, Song Lingge remembered that she had returned to Nanzhou Foreign Languages ​​University during a class reunion and had also visited the food street.

Back then, the food street had become much more diverse than when they were in school. In addition to restaurants, there were KTVs, arcades, internet cafes... it had everything, truly becoming a food, drink, and entertainment street for Nanzhou University of Foreign Languages.

"If it's changed to K something micro, will I still need to cook?" Song Jianmei asked softly.

Song Lingge patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "No need. At most, we'll just need to modify the current kitchen. We'll only need to be able to cut fruit platters and prepare fruit platters and drinks, that'll be enough."

Song Jianmei's heart sank slightly. If she couldn't cook, what use would she be?

Song Lingge noticed a slight tremor in the body beneath her hand as she placed it on Song Jianmei's shoulder.

She gripped Song Jianmei's shoulder tightly and said, "Aunt, I haven't finished yet. I have more important plans for you."

After hearing her words, Song Jianmei regained her confidence. This was her own niece, the one who had led her out of the abyss. She trusted her more than herself.

After reassuring Song Jianmei, Song Lingge continued, "Turning Meishi Songxiang into a KTV is the initial plan. Everyone can see how good Auntie's cooking is, and such good skills should not be wasted. But to be honest, putting it in a food street would be a bit of a waste."

"You want to open a new store?" Jing Chu had a better business sense than the others.

Song Lingge nodded: "I want to open a new shop in the city center, and my aunt will be the head chef there. However, there will be some changes compared to here. We'll discuss the specific arrangements later. I'll talk to my aunt about it privately. After all, if this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have been thinking of opening a new shop so soon."

Indeed, the poisoning was completely unexpected.

Xiao Jiang timidly raised his hand.

Song Lingge found it amusing, feeling that Xiao Jiang was like a student at that moment, while she had become the teacher taking attendance.

"Xiao Jiang, just say what you think. Today we are discussing this among core members, so feel free to speak your mind."

At this point, Song Lingge made a mental note that she should be more formal in the future and hold an employee meeting once a month or once a week.

Xiao Jiang glanced at Aunt Lu, mustered up her courage and said, "Aunt Lu and I both live nearby. The city center is too far away, and we would have to rent a place there, so I still want to stay here."

“Yes, yes, that’s what I think too. I don’t want to be too far from home. But I don’t know if that KTV you just mentioned still needs us,” Aunt Lu chimed in.

Song Lingge didn't reply immediately. She nodded slightly as they spoke, then looked at Old Zhang and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what about you?"

Old Zhang pondered for a moment: "I don't care. If you open a shop in the city center, I'd really like to go with you and learn some skills from the proprietress."

After listening to the thoughts of several people, Song Lingge finally spoke: "As long as you are willing to work with me, these things can be discussed. The reason I brought this up today is to give you a choice."

Song Lingge first addressed Xiao Jiang and Aunt Lu, saying, "Of course, the KTV needs people. If you can stay, that would be wonderful. Aunt Lu can continue to work as a cashier, making her the KTV's official owner. Xiao Jiang will remain a waitress, but the nature of her service will change somewhat. You will be responsible for preparing fruit platters and cleaning."

Song Lingge thought about it for a moment. Actually, these small KTVs don't need many people. She had been there before, and they were basically family-run operations, where one or two people were enough.

Of course, since we haven't explored this in depth, there may be many unforeseen circumstances.

Xiao Jiang and Aunt Lu thought about it for a bit and it sounded alright. Moreover, judging from Song Lingge's expression, she didn't plan to recruit any new people.

If it's always just the two of them working together, that would be fine.

So the two of them immediately said, "Yes, if Xiao Jiang is too busy, I can help with the cashier work when things are less busy."

After a moment of contemplation, Song Lingge replied, "You two stay here later, and we'll discuss it in more detail."

Xiao Jiang and Aunt Lu nodded happily, finally relieved.

Song Lingge then looked at Song Jianmei and Lao Zhang, the focus now being on arranging things for the two of them.

Opening a shop in the city center was a plan Song Lingge had long ago. If she didn't build a business empire, wouldn't it be a waste of her chance to be reborn?

However, she had too many things to do, so it was delayed.

If Fang Guanghua hadn't retaliated so swiftly this time, she might not have even planned to carry it out.

Since the enemy has given her a push, it would be too unreasonable for her not to try her best.

“From now on, Meishi Songxiang will be closed. Aunt, you and Lao Zhang should go to the city center starting tomorrow to investigate and try to find a good storefront. Don’t worry about the rent.”

Song Jianmei looked troubled, but she wasn't worried about the rent.

But how could she possibly handle such an important task as choosing a store location entrusted to her by Song Lingge?

Seeing her worry, Song Lingge smiled and said, "You guys take a look first, it's not like I'm asking you to make a decision right away. I have classes, but I'll look for it during my free time. We'll meet at the store every day to try and close the deal as soon as possible. After all, closing down for renovations means high expenses, and we can't keep doing business at a loss!"

"When the shop was being renovated, Xiao Jiang and I went to the city center to help out," Aunt Lu said.

“When we don’t have classes, we’ll go look for it with you. There’s strength in numbers,” Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu also said.

Seeing everyone's positive smiles, Song Lingge smiled.

In this life, she is no longer alone and helpless.
