Chapter 13 Meeting a high school classmate
Jiang Duoduo and several other new employees basically got to know each other while washing vegetables together.
"Jiang Duoduo, let me wash the crayfish! Their claws are very sharp. If you girls are so delicate and tender, it would be very painful if you accidentally get caught!"
Zhang Chao is the only boy among the five newcomers, so he is very attentive to these girls.
Especially towards Jiang Duoduo, his enthusiasm made the other three girls roll their eyes.
"Okay! Then Tiantian and I will go wash the shells together."
Jiang Duoduo did not refuse. After all, these lively crayfish were not easy to catch.
Time passed slowly as Jiang Duoduo and her friends worked busily, and soon it was twelve o'clock noon.
"The five of you should hurry to the locker room and change into your waiter uniforms. The buffet in the restaurant will be served soon."
The restaurant supervisor was a middle-aged woman in her 50s. She ran to the five people who were working hard washing in the kitchen with a few work clothes in her hands and said.
"Okay, let's go right away."
Jiang Duoduo and the other four were also very observant. They immediately put down their work, picked up their work clothes and ran to the locker room.
"Why is being a waiter like a war? I want to ask when lunch is?"
Wang Tiantian complained while changing clothes.
"I just heard from Xiao Liu in the kitchen that we can't have lunch until after two o'clock. Then we can all enjoy the remaining food from the buffet. I'm so excited just thinking about it!"
Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Wow! Really? The treatment in the food and beverage department is still good! We in the housekeeping department only get meal allowances. Prices in J City are so high, an ordinary box lunch costs 12 yuan, I can't even afford to eat meat, let alone seafood. Then... then I must eat all-you-can-eat seafood later."
When Zhao Haiyan heard that there was a free buffet, she became excited.
"It should be true! There's no need for Xiao Liu to lie to me, right?"
When Chen Jie was asked this by Zhao Haiyan, he felt a little uncertain again.
Speaking of lunch, Jiang Duoduo realized that she was a little hungry.
She had been out late this morning and hadn't even had breakfast. If she had to wait until two in the afternoon to have lunch, she would probably be starving.
"Ugh……"
Jiang Duoduo sighed, and was the first to change her clothes and leave the locker room.
"Hey... Jiang Duoduo, why are you running so fast? Wait for me!"
Wang Tiantian put on her work ID card and followed Jiang Duoduo out.
Chen Jie and Zhao Haiyan from the housekeeping department were not only average looking but also dressed in a rather unfashionable manner. They spoke as if they had never seen the world before and were always surprised by everything new.
Wang Tiantian from the public relations department has never liked the two of them. Among the girls, Jiang Duoduo is the best looking and is very steady in her dealings with people and work. After Wang Tiantian met Jiang Duoduo in the morning, she paid even less attention to the two sisters from the housekeeping department.
In the morning, I wash vegetables next to Jiang Duoduo in the kitchen.
"Chen Jie, why didn't Tiantian talk to us today? Isn't Jiang Duoduo at the front desk just prettier? Why did Tiantian rush to see her?"
Zhao Haiyan put on her work clothes and felt a little unhappy when she saw Wang Tiantian chasing after her impatiently.
After all, they have known each other for almost a week, how can she not be better than Jiang Duoduo who I just met!
"Who cares about her? People in the PR department all say they make a living by their looks. Let's just do our own thing. Let's go! The restaurant should be getting busy soon."
Chen Jie has always had her own ideas. Although she was born in the countryside and has a low level of education, she has always been neither humble nor arrogant.
For people like Wang Tiantian, if you can get along with her, then get along with her, and if you can't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they are not in the same department, so there is nothing to worry about.
She believes that as long as she works hard enough, her life will get better and better in the future.
……
Half past twelve noon.
In the luxurious restaurant on the first floor of Leica International.
There are seafood area, meat area, staple food area, pastry area, fruit and beverage area, and all kinds of delicious food are neatly arranged.
Each area has dedicated waiters to provide warm service to the guests.
Many guests were holding exquisite plates in their hands, looking here and there, and when they saw something delicious, they couldn't wait to put it on their plates.
According to Jiang Duoduo's observation, the seafood area and the steak and barbecue area have the most customers, while the staple food area and the pastry area have relatively fewer customers. It seems that everyone knows how to eat buffet food in the most cost-effective way.
At the beginning, you must choose expensive seafood that is not easy to fill you up, and then eat some fruits and exquisite pastries.
Staple foods like noodles, fried rice, dumplings, and buns, which are easy to fill you up with, are rarely eaten at buffets.
If someone goes to the main food area right away, it must be his first time eating at a buffet and he knows nothing about it.
Wouldn't it be a big mistake to eat the staple food right away? A nearly 600 yuan egg fried rice or noodles would make you vomit!
Just when Jiang Duoduo was thinking a little too far, the restaurant supervisor asked her and Wang Tiantian to help at the ticket check counter at the restaurant entrance, saying that the waiter there needed to go to the bathroom and asked them to fill in temporarily.
At this time, more than half of the guests in the hotel buffet area were already eating.
Jiang Duoduo and Wang Tiantian stood at the small bar at the entrance of the restaurant and saw several people running towards the lobby.
They all look very anxious!
Come to think of it, not all the people who come here to eat buffets are rich and don't care about the 600 yuan. Some are working class people who have saved up their money to eat buffets and want to fill the two hours.
What's more, it's already more than half an hour ago, and those who are late won't have to run as fast as they can.
"Hello, could you please show me your electronic meal voucher?"
"Okay! Please come in and enjoy your meal!"
Jiang Duoduo and Wang Tiantian checked these people's e-vouchers while politely inviting them into the restaurant.
"Jiang Duoduo, why are you working as a waitress here? It seems like college students aren't that great."
A woman just ran over from the lobby, and Wang Tiantian was checking the two electronic meal coupons on her mobile phone.
She saw Jiang Duoduo beside her shouting as if she had discovered a new world.
Jiang Duoduo narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the woman in front of her.
She was less than 1.5 meters tall, with not very fair skin and a small mole on her nose. Could this person be Ke Lingling, my high school classmate?
"Are you Ke Lingling?" Jiang Duoduo asked uncertainly.
"Yes! My boyfriend and I are here for a buffet. Honey! Hurry up, I want to introduce you to a classmate of mine from high school."
Ke Lingling smiled charmingly and waved to the thin man behind her.
"We are not waiters, we were just temporarily transferred here to help!"
Wang Tiantian has always been very concerned about her reputation, and she was anxious to explain for Jiang Duoduo and herself.
"Hey! Aren't you the waitresses or the boss lady? Don't worry! I won't tell anyone!"
Ke Lingling smiled and walked back a few steps, pulling her so-called boyfriend over.
