The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 404 Insights into the entertainment industry

When Lao Tan came out of the shop, it happened that Yaru was off work, so the two went back to the courtyard together.

It was June, and the weather in Suzhou was hot. The two sycamore trees in the courtyard were tall and mighty, providing shade.

Some of the employees who came back from get off work at noon were taking a nap in the house, some were drying their clothes, and some were playing with their mobile phones in the shade of a tree. When they saw Lao Tan and Yaru coming back, they all greeted Lao Tan and Yaru warmly.

Lao Tan entered the room, turned on the air conditioner first, and then lay on the bed to sleep for a while.At this time, Yaru came in with a basin, which contained the clothes to be washed.She went into the bathroom and put the clothes into the washing machine, then put in the washing powder and liquid detergent, pressed the switch, and the washing machine started to spin.

Then he came out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa and said to Lao Tan: "I am now a six-star employee, and I will travel to Guilin for a week next month."

A six-star employee proves that his points have reached [-] points, and he has been employed for at least six years.

The salary and benefits of each star employee are different.

From one star to five stars, the salary increases by 1 for each star rise.Starting from six stars, there will be no salary increase, and there will be a year-end bonus, the ratio is 5000%.That is to say, if the net profit of the store this year is [-] million, each employee with six stars and above will receive a bonus of [-] yuan each.

The welfare package for six-star employees is a one-week trip to famous domestic tourist attractions at public expense.

One-star employees have a monthly filial piety fund of [-] yuan, which is sent to their parents' account.

Two-star employees receive [-] yuan of filial piety per month, which is sent to their parents' account.

On the basis of the two-star standard, employees of Samsung travel to tourist attractions in the province at public expense for three days and pay pension insurance.

Four-star employees are dispatched to study abroad, and those who do not need to study (cleaners, drivers, logistics staff, kitchen handymen) will be rewarded with 1000 yuan.

Five-star employees have a full-body examination (at public expense) every year.

Seven Star employees began to pay housing provident funds.

The year-end bonus for eight-star employees is [-]%.

Nine-star employees are upgraded to shareholders.

Yaru's six-star rating is the highest among the employees. There are ten people who are also six-stars like her, excluding managers like Zhang Li and Zhong Qing.

The easiest thing to achieve is one star, and the hardest thing to stick to is from one star to three stars. After reaching three stars, employees rarely leave their jobs. At that time, the filial piety funds had been distributed for three years, and their parents would not agree to resign, let alone pay for pensions. What about insurance?

Regardless of the high mobility of restaurant employees, Aqiao’s mobility is relatively low, mainly because there are many veteran employees who are more than three years old. Under the influence of their mentoring, employees rarely leave and are relatively stable.

"Good thing, didn't you say go to Hong Kong?" Old Tan asked.

Last month, Zhang Li proposed to go to Hong Kong when she was researching where the six-star employees should travel.At that time, no one objected, so it was decided. Hearing that Yaru said that he was going to Guilin again, Lao Tan was a little puzzled.

"I don't even like to go, saying that there is nothing to do shopping, it's just a city, I've spent enough time in the city, why don't I go to a place with mountains and rivers. Besides, I don't want to go shopping in Hong Kong, so where did I get the money for? " Yaru said.

"That's right." Old Tan nodded, and then asked, "What about you? You don't want to go either?"

"I don't want to go."

“Guilin is also very good.”

"I don't want to go to Guilin either, I want to go home and have a look."

"Go home at your own expense."

Yaru sighed, and complained: "How do you make the rules? You can't go on a trip, and you have to pay for it when you go home. The most annoying thing is to go home and ask for leave."

"Hehe, didn't I want you to go out and relax, you are all meritorious ministers." Old Tan said.

"What's there to relax? It's better to pay directly for something more affordable." Yaru said.

"Two different things, you didn't go out, so don't say that when you go out."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, go back to the room and sleep."

Yaru went to work at four o'clock in the morning, and was a little sleepy by now, so she got up and went back.

Old Tan was just about to stare at Qiao Gang when he called, saying that the director who was filming a TV series in the old house and a few leading actors were having dinner at a private restaurant in the evening, and his buddy, a big sponsor, had a treat and invited him to come.

He didn't want to have dinner with directors or actors, and if it wasn't for his friends' face, he wouldn't let them film in the old house.This buddy is an old friend. He helped him in his most difficult time, so he can't refute his face.

Qiao Gang didn't want to go to the banquet alone, he wanted to find someone to accompany him, but it didn't work out after looking for it. Gu Yi and Sister Wang went on their honeymoon, and a few antique friends didn't like this occasion as much as he did. The rest was just business I don't even want to find a partner.

So I thought of Lao Tan.

Lao Tan didn't like to go either.

"To save face, brother, even if you accompany me. Isn't Gu Yi not at home, if he is here, we don't need to go." Qiao Gang said.

Lao Tan agreed to come down, asked the time and went back to sleep.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun had just set, and Lao Tan walked into Aqiao's private vegetable dumpling restaurant in the golden afterglow of the setting sun.

Qiao Shan greeted her at the door. She was obviously well-dressed. She was dressed in a light pink cheongsam that outlined her waist, her legs were slim and her chest was towering.The cloud bun is high, the powder is slightly applied, the willow eyebrows are curved, and the nose is straight.

Old Tan smiled and said, "I almost didn't recognize it, what a picture of beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River."

Qiao Shan smiled coquettishly, turned around generously, and asked, "Isn't it inferior to the number one female?"

"You are at the goddess level."

Qiao Shan led Lao Tan into the largest and most elegant private room. Qiao Gang and his buddy had arrived early and were drinking tea and chatting.

That buddy is in his fifties, with a round face and a rich face.Like Lao Tan, he also has a bald head, but not as fat as Lao Tan, and he is well-proportioned.Seeing Lao Tan for a moment, he immediately came over to shake hands, and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Tan, let's meet again."

Old Tan remembered that Qiao Gang led Qiao Gang to attend the training for the management personnel of Qiao Gang's company. At that time, several companies related to Qiao Gang also attended the training.

Old Tan thought he remembered it, but he forgot what his family name was, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Qiao Gang immediately introduced: "Brother Tan, this is the chairman of Sifang Real Estate Company, Liu Guoqing, just call him Brother Liu."

"Hello Brother Liu." Old Tan greeted.

Although Lao Tan was in the catering business, he had heard of the famous Sifang Real Estate in Suzhou, but he did not expect to meet its chairman here.

Although Ah Qiao is doing well, with a turnover of hundreds of millions a year, it is nothing compared to other real estate companies, not worth mentioning.Otherwise, how dare people invest in TV dramas, if they have money.

Before Lao Tan came in, Qiao Gang and Liu Guoqing were chatting about real estate. When Lao Tan came, the two changed the subject and talked about something related to catering. The three of them could chat together.

After a while, the director, assistant director, and several leading actors came, and after being introduced by Liu Guoqing, they sat down one by one, and the table opened.

The director, the assistant director Lao Tan and Qiao Gang don’t know each other. What they say they don’t know is that they don’t know what works they have made. In fact, even if they have seen the works they made, they can’t remember who the director is. How many can they remember? The main actors are not bad, not to mention they don't like to watch TV dramas either.

There are five leading actors in total, three women and two men.

The lead actress is a rather charming middle-aged woman, the kind of sister-in-law.This old Tan knew each other, and had watched her TV series a few years ago.According to inside information, Liu Guoqing and her are family friends. Her family moved to Beijing in the early 80s. She was admitted to an art school and became an actress.

Liu Guoqing's main reason for investing in this TV series is hers.

Female No. [-] and Female No. [-] are both young and beautiful beauties, charming and charming. It is a pity that Lao Tan and Qiao Gang don't know each other. Looking at them is no different from seeing beauties on the street, they are just women.

The two male actors are not well-known. The leading actor Lao Tan has heard reports that he drinks a lot and is from the Northeast.

The male supporting role is obviously a traffic niche, and looks more attractive than the second and third female leads.
