"Let's start with Li Mu first."

Li Mu gasped.

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and everyone didn't know who should start the matter.After a few seconds, Liang Chuan spoke first, "Since everyone doesn't say anything, I'll do it first. I'll finish off the hatred first, and you will be good people."

Pleasant laughter erupted in the conference room, and Li Mu followed suit with a dry laugh.

Liang Chuan looked at Li Mu, "Li Mu's advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious. The advantages are that he is more serious in his work and has good emergency response capabilities. For example, Li Mu handled the failure of a single machine last night, and he basically has the quality of a job. "Paused, "But the shortcomings are also obvious. The theoretical foundation is weak, which affects the work to a certain extent. Moreover, sometimes the work efficiency is not high, such as wasting too much time when processing fruits."

Liang Chuan didn't point it out, but Li Mu knew what he was talking about, and lowered his head a little ashamedly.

"Li Muren is very smart, he has a lot of work in his eyes, and his thinking is relatively active. He cooperates well with our bartenders." Amy took over the conversation, "It's just that sometimes I don't take the initiative to communicate with us... For example, if you explain that you don’t have a place to live, you won’t take the initiative to mention it to us.” Amy cast a glance at Yue Renge, and cautiously said, “However, Li Mu is quite hard-working, and everyone agrees with this.”

Li Mu's face turned hot and cold when he heard this, the two of them took the lead, and the chatterbox of the others also opened up.You said a lot, and Li Mu's heart sank more and more as he listened.Everyone can say something, and there is basically no repetition, and the evaluation of Li Mu is quite appropriate.

From the way of wiping the cups, to the knife for cutting fruit; from the way of placing chairs, to the attitude of receiving guests.Li Mu's every move was put under a magnifying glass and examined inch by inch.Picky colleagues chatted: this is not good enough, there is not good enough.Li Mu had a frozen smile on his face, and the cold sweat was already dripping down his back.

He is just an ordinary intern, an ordinary, the lowest existence in the bar.He thought that these three days were just a formality, and the boss had already made up his mind who to hire.

But he was wrong.

Big mistakes.

Li Mu has many advantages, but also has many disadvantages. After a circle of people finished talking, he was almost criticized.Yue Renge listened quietly the whole time, with a calm expression.After a while, he said, "Let's talk about Zhu Zhu next."

"Are you nervous?" Li Mu raised his head and met Shang Yue Renge's smiling eyes.

After the preliminary discussion, Yue Renge asked the two interns to withdraw, and Liang Chuan presided over the statistics of their opinions on whether to stay or not. If more than two-thirds of them agree, they can stay.

Zhu Zhu went to the bathroom, and Li Mu sat on the bench outside the meeting room, a little dazed.

Seeing that it was him, Li Mu smiled wryly, "Mr. Yue, what do you think?"

"Being nervous is a good thing." Yue Renge patted Li Mu's shoulder, "Being nervous and worried means you still care, and you can listen to other people's opinions, so there is still room for growth and improvement."

Who can't say beautiful words.Yue Renge's words naturally have his charm and persuasion.It's just that Li Mu is not in the mood now, he just smiles wryly.

"Why did you choose this line of work?" Yue Renge handed him a cigarette, but Li Mu declined, he was not angry, he put one in his mouth, and then reached into the inside pocket of his suit for the lighter.Thinking of the ban on smoking in the bar, he retracted his hand angrily.

"Brother Chuan also asked me during the interview." Li Mu said.

Yue Renge raised his eyebrows, "Brother Chuan can ask, but I can't?"

"No." The atmosphere was suddenly disturbed playfully.Li Mu suddenly felt that it was nothing if he couldn't stay, it was just another failure in life, he had experienced it many times, and he didn't mind doing it again, even if he didn't know when the next opportunity would be.

But the opportunity to talk like this is rare.For some reason, when he was with Yue Renge, Li Mu always felt that he became more talkative.

Li Mu looked at Yue Renge, "I really like wine. I want to open my own restaurant, just like you. When I was young...forget it, I just thought it would be great to open my own bar and bring happiness to others. A very good thing."

"Just to bring happiness to others?" Yue Renge shrugged noncommittally, "Do you really understand this business?"

yes.Li Mu thought that maybe he really didn't understand this line of work.The source of his love is ridiculously shallow, and his experience in the industry is not very good. Even yesterday, he didn’t know that G&T is Gin & Tonic—Yue Renge bit his cigarette, and Li Mu’s appearance was reflected in his eyes, saying every word say:

"Li Mu, this is not an easy path."

In the green pupils, Li Mu's expression was flustered and puzzled.

"In our line of work, you have to face low wages, long hours of work, upside down day and night schedules, and incomprehension or even disrespect from others."

"Someone will call you a waiter, someone will snap their fingers and say 'hey', someone will teach a child and say 'if you don't study hard you will only do this'."

Yue Renge smiled.

"You need to invest a lot of time, energy, and money, and it will take several years to slowly change from a waiter or bartender to a bartender or even the keynote speaker."

"You will participate in the competition, you will find that you are not as good as others, you will find that you are not as good as others, you will be distressed, and you will wonder if you have no talent to do this."

"You gradually became famous, and others came to see you bartending and buying your orders. You think you can go out and open a store by yourself. You find a partner, you go to borrow money, attract investment, rent a store, and do business. Decoration. You look for channels to buy goods, you go to those brothers who have worked hard with you, pull them over, and form your team." Yue Renge stared at Li Mu's eyes, "You have been busy for a long time, and the first day of opening is only three days. Come alone."

"You can't pay the rent, you start to go into debt, you realize that running a bar is not the same thing as bartending. You start figuring out how to keep the bar going. Well, maybe you're really lucky and your bar life It came down." There seemed to be light in those green eyes, "Maybe you're a little bit luckier, and it started to make money."

"This is not the end, it's a new beginning. Becoming a boss doesn't mean that you start to enjoy the blessings and make money on the credit book. It's like getting married—" He smiled lightly when he said this, "You have to raise a family, you have to raise children, you have to pay off the car loan and mortgage, and you will be overwhelmed by those trivial chores. Sometimes you may think why don't you find an easy job and just goof around? Life is so short, why bother yourself?"

"However, it's too late for you to regret it." He pointed to the conference room, "But this is your family, they don't choose other places, they choose to follow you, you have the responsibility and obligation to take them along with you .”

"Li Mu, this road may look cool, but it's really bitter." Yue Renge looked at Li Mu, "Even so, are you willing to continue walking?"

What Yue Renge said was the truth.He even talked about the lives of a successful bartender and even a successful bar owner.

His unattainable life.

Li Mu grinned helplessly.He knew he was smiling ugly, "Mr. Yue, since this road is so bitter and difficult, why do you persevere?"

Yue Renge was stopped by the question, and after a short pause, he gave a "poof" smile, "You... are you pretending to be stupid, or are you really stupid?"

"I know it's hard." Li Mu also smiled, "I know, Mr. Yue, I know."

"You know shit." Yue Renge cursed with a smile, "I think you didn't think about it."

"I've thought about it." Li Mu said seriously, "If you don't believe me, I don't want to explain it to you."

Yue Renge was astonished, "You kid is not timid now, it seems that you will not hang out here after you have made up your mind, right?"

Seeing that he wasn't really angry, Li Mu asked him: "Mr. Yue, you just said so much. But after suffering so much, don't you have moments of happiness?"

"Happy? Of course there is."

Opening a bar is a business, bartending is a skill, but in Yue Renge's view, behind all of this is his art.The art of wine, the art of communication, the art of management, the art of happiness.

He spends his youth extravagantly in this square inch of land. The people who follow him come and go, and the guests change one after another, but the youth is still there, the happiness is still there, and the taste of life is mixed into the wine. Not tired.

Sour, it is lemon, which reconciles the flavor; sweet, it is liqueur, which fragrances the tip of the tongue; bitter, it is bitter essence, which makes the flavor longer... Yue Renge knows these happiness, and Li Mu will understand.Even if it is not now, in the long years to come, Li Mu will understand it little by little.

"These guys have been dawdling, and the statistical results should come out." Yue Renge stretched his waist, and patted Li Mu's back, "Let's go, go and see, they finally agreed to let you stay .”

Li Mu's heart was lifted by Yue Renge again.

"Twenty, 21." Liang Chuan flicked the paper awkwardly, writing and drawing in the notebook.Seeing Yue Renge and Li Mu enter the room, he coughed tactically, "The voting results have been counted."

"En." Yue Renge sat down, glanced at the result, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.Liang Chuan looked up at the ceiling, then scratched his head, avoiding Yue Renge's sight.

Yue Renge closed his notebook.

"Before announcing the results, please take a moment to listen to me. Before you know it, including me, we have 22 members in Dionysia."

"Dionys has been in business for 11 years. Over the years, people have come and gone. The only one who has been with me since the beginning of the opening is Lao Liang." Yue Renge glanced at Liang Chuan and patted him on the shoulder. , "Old Liang knows my temper, and would rather be short than excessive. When it was the most difficult time, we once recruited several people at once, but we ran away after a short time. Do you know what I thought at that time?"

"It's guilt. Guilt can't make them feel that our place is valuable and worth staying." Yue Renge said, "But now, I have a little more confidence than before. You can learn good skills and good ideas here. , good service, and then one day, like your predecessors, you leave me and start your own business."

"Time is running out." Liang Chuan reminded him.

Yue Renge gave him a blank look, "I'm very happy that we have two excellent interns today - everyone's evaluation of them was very fair just now, and the voting results have come out, I think it's fair. Hey, Old Liang , How many do we usually enroll?"

"One."

"One?" Yue Renge shook his head regretfully, his gaze wandering back and forth between Li Mu and Zhu Zhu.Yue Renge shook his head at Li Mu, Li Mu's heart sank, it's over.

Yue Renge glanced at Liang Chuan again, "Let's discuss something. Can our system be changed? Although it's better to lack than to abuse, but if everything is good..."

Liang Chuan rolled his eyes, "Anyway, I'm not the one who pays the salary."

Yue Renge's smile deepened.

"Both of you have passed two-thirds of the votes. We are short of a female bartender, Zhu Zhu. Would you like to come?" He looked at Li Mu again, "Li Mu, if you are willing to choose Di Ernie, I shall not be very grateful."
