Chapter 237: Gifting the Hotel
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Passing by the small stall where she bought the television the last time, Song Yao stopped and said to the sales lady, “Help me get seven televisions. I want imported ones.”
The saleswoman was dumbfounded and could not help but ask, “Miss, what do you do? Why are you so rich? You were the one who bought the television last time, right?”
Unexpectedly, she was recognized. Song Yao was a little embarrassed. “I’m in a small business. My family owns a small hotel and is in charge of entertaining tourists.”
“I see.” The salesgirl said, “Then are you short of people? I have a girl who just graduated from junior high school and can’t find a job. She’s looking for a job all over the world now. Do you think you can hire her?”
Song Yao really wanted to hire two people to help take care of it. “How old is the girl? What did she do in the past?”
Seeing that there was some progress, the salesgirl smiled and said, “She is 17 years old. She used to sell goods with me, but she’s more introverted and doesn’t like to talk. She was fired after working for two days.”
“I see.” Song Yao thought for a moment and tore open a piece of paper. She wrote her address on it. “Then ask her to come and take a look tomorrow. Our hotel hasn’t officially opened for business yet.
Let her work in the small shop first.”
Seeing that the saleswoman was hesitating, Song Yao said, “If you’re worried, you can follow us to take a look. We’re doing this with a conscience.”
“Sure!” The salesgirl smiled. “Then I’ll send the television over tomorrow and bring the girl over to take a look!”
“Alright! Then we’ll wait for you to come over!” Song Yao had already taken out 10,000 yuan from her bag.
The saleswoman liked Song Yao’s straightforward personality. She immediately gave her an invoice and promised to send the television to Song Yao’s house personally.
Coming out of the department store, Song Xiao said unhappily, “Sister, I’m enough for the hotel alone. Why do you still need to recruit people?”
Song Yao smiled. “Are you sure you can manage the twelve rooms in the hotel alone?”
Song Xiao was silent for a long time. “Don’t I still have you? It’s enough for us siblings to clean the room!”
Song Yao smiled again. “But I’m going to take the college entrance examination in June. When I go to the capital to study, can you handle it alone?”
Song Xiao knocked his head anxiously. He had forgotten about this!
However, when he thought about how his sister was going to the capital in two months at most, Song Xiao was a little reluctant.
“Sister, can you stay for a while before leaving? I can’t bear to leave you.”
Song Yao was amused by her brother. “You can’t bear to see me leave since you were young. Alright, I’ll stay with you for a while. Treat the hotel as my corning-of-age gift to you. I also hope that you can manage this hotel well after I go to university in the capital. Remember to come to the capital to see me when you have time.”
“Sister! What did you say? The hotel is a gift for me?” Song Xiao couldn’t understand. Such a big hotel should be able to earn a lot of money, but his sister gave it to him just like that?
Song Yao had long wanted to tell Song Xiao about this. She said, “You’re already so old. You can’t always run errands with me. You should have your own business.”
After saying that, she smiled and said, “Remember, this hotel can only be the initial capital I’ll give you. The subsequent development depends on your management method!”
Song Xiao nodded. “Don’t worry, Sister. I’ll manage this hotel well! It’s just that I can’t accept such an expensive gift. How about this? In the future, when the hotel earns money, I’ll give you 70% first!”
Song Yao didn’t expect her brother to be so considerate. She couldn’t help but smile. “There’s no need. I’m satisfied with your concern. Do you still remember the principles I taught you about running a shop? In the future, when I go to university in the capital, I’ll rely on you for everything at home.” “Don’t worry, Sister!” Song Xiao patted his chest and said, “I won’t disappoint you!”
After buying the television, it was already noon. Song Yao took Song Xiao downstairs to eat a bowl of beef noodles and dragged him to the second floor of the department store to buy a table.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into an acquaintance on the street. “Yu Yong! We bought this when we got married! How can you sell it just like that?”
“I can buy my own things if I want to! Who are you to interfere?”
