Chapter 336 - 185: Recruitment and Picking up the Car
Everyone looked at each other, thinking they had misheard. Their faces were filled with utter shock and surprise.
Small businesses like a Cat Cafe usually only sign simple written agreements or have verbal contracts.
If they signed formal labor contracts, it would mean the cafe had to pay for their social insurance and treat them as official employees.
This kind of treatment was beyond what any of them had expected.
They had assumed that Qi Hao would be the only one to get a formal labor contract.
But it turned out everyone was getting one!
"Thank you, Boss Lin!"
Everyone thanked him one after another.
Regardless of the salary Lin Shen was offering, this gesture alone was enough to move them.
So, they all gathered around the table, found their respective contracts, and began to read them carefully.
When they saw the base salary of 8,000, everyone was even more stunned.
’Eight thousand!?’
That salary wasn’t particularly high in a city like Modu, but for a Cat Cafe employee, you’d be hard-pressed to find a higher one even if you searched the entire city!
What’s more, that was just the base salary. With commissions, performance bonuses, and other allowances, earning over ten thousand a month wouldn’t be a problem!
’Has the economy really gotten so good? A cafe clerk can make over ten thousand a month?’
Just as everyone was beaming with pleasant surprise, Qi Hao remained dazed for a good while.
Because his base salary was a full fifteen thousand!
And the position listed wasn’t "Clerk," but "Store Manager!"
"Boss Lin, did you make a printing error?"
Qi Hao walked up to Lin Shen with his contract and asked in a low voice.
"Shouldn’t I be a clerk? How did I become the store manager?"
"You are the store manager,"
Lin Shen said with a smile.
"Being a clerk would be a waste of your talents. Your veterinary knowledge makes you worthy of the store manager position."
"Besides, this is just a temporary position. After a while, I’ll have you sign a higher-level contract and bring you into my company."
"But what about Lin Ping?"
Although Lin Shen’s words filled Qi Hao with gratitude, he still felt a bit embarrassed about suddenly taking someone else’s job.
"Actually, you could just make me an assistant manager. There’s no need to be so formal..."
"Don’t worry about that. Lin Ping has other work to do."
Lin Shen had clearly seen the worry in Qi Hao’s heart, and he gave a mysterious smile.
"Do you think I’d shortchange her?"
’So that’s how it is!’
Qi Hao was a smart guy; he completely understood what Lin Shen was implying.
’Lin Ping was one of Lin Shen’s people all along!’
’Their relationship must be something special!’
"I understand now."
Seeing that Qi Hao had "understood" the situation, Lin Shen patted his shoulder and gave him a gentle smile.
"So, is there anything else?"
"No."
Qi Hao shook his head, a profound warmth spreading through his heart. He bowed sincerely to Lin Shen.
"Thank you for your trust, Boss Lin! I’ll work hard!"
"Go for it! Do your best!"
Lin Shen encouraged him. By then, the others had also finished signing their contracts.
To hesitate for even a second would be disrespectful to the 8,000 salary and full benefits.
Of course, besides the base salary, their performance bonuses were tied to running Douyin accounts.
Lin Shen required each employee to pick a cat from the cafe and create a personal account for it.
They would meet their performance targets just by growing the follower count to a certain level, and if a video went viral, they could receive an extra bonus!
There would even be an additional reward for the employee with the most new followers each month!
Of course, the ownership of these accounts belonged to Lin Shen. He would use Dou+ to boost them based on video quality and help drive traffic.
The others had no objections. After all, it was a chance to earn more money, so why not?
They were all young; who didn’t know how to shoot videos!
As for the profits from a viral video, they trusted that Lin Shen wouldn’t treat them unfairly.
He was already paying them such a high salary, which showed he wasn’t a black-hearted capitalist.
But rather a conscientious... capitalist!
After receiving the nine signed contracts, Lin Shen said with a laugh.
"The soft opening is set for this weekend. It’ll be for two days. I’ll have to trouble you all to be on duty then."
"It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. It’s what we’re supposed to do."
Everyone waved their hands politely, feeling quite amazed inside.
Because Lin Shen’s politeness toward them didn’t feel like that of a boss, but more like an old friend he hadn’t seen in years.
This friendly employer-employee relationship filled their hearts with a faint warmth and strengthened their resolve.
’We have to do this job well!’
"Boss Lin, if there’s nothing else, we’ll get going."
"Mm."
After Lin Shen watched Qi Hao lead the group away, Zhou Bin finally found an opportunity to come over and talk.
"President Lin! What do you think of the overall renovation?"
"It’s quite good."
Lin Shen strolled through the cafe, looking around to inspect the renovation work. The surprise on his face grew.
He had expected there might be a significant difference between the reality and the design blueprints, but it turned out to be very minor.
In some areas, the renovation was even better than planned!
This made Lin Shen very satisfied. He directly took out a "fat red envelope" and handed it to Zhou Bin.
Judging by the thickness of the envelope, it had to contain at least ten thousand to start.
"You’ve worked hard during this time. I’ll have to ask you to keep an eye on the renovations for the new store as well. There’ll be more for you after it’s done."
"No problem!"
Lin Shen’s generosity made Zhou Bin beam. He discreetly put away the red envelope and patted his chest, confidently making a promise.
"President Lin, you can leave it to me! I guarantee I’ll renovate that store for you just as well as this one!"
"Good."
Lin Shen chuckled lightly and patted Zhou Bin’s shoulder.
"Just let me know when you’re going, and I’ll go open the door for you."
"You got it!"
