Chapter 688: Female Assistant Problem
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was stunned and looked at her suspiciously.
However, she realized that Nie Shuang was not the only one. Even Madam Dai could not help but look at the paper she was drawing on.
“Yundong, your drawing is too realistic.” Nie Shuang’s eyes widened. She picked up the painting and looked at it again and again. “I feel that even if I haven’t come to this shop personally, I can still imagine the exact appearance just by looking at your painting.”
Madam Dai was also amazed. “Yundong, I realized that the more I know you, the more powerful you seem to be. How many other abilities of yours do we not know?”
Gu Yundong blinked and immediately laughed. “Alright, now is not the time to talk about the painting. Let’s discuss how to decorate first and how to arrange the tables and chairs.”
Nie Shuang wanted to praise her a few more times, but business was more important. She was going to open a shop now, so she had to grow up.
Therefore, she started talking about the decorations in the shop again with a serious expression.
The shop was big enough. There could be some decorations downstairs. There was a bar at the entrance to order for customers. There were two long tables in the middle that could accommodate seven to eight people.
There was also a small round table. It didn’t have to be big. It was enough to put in some food. She also set up some booths, which could be blocked by a screen. Or, the sofas could be placed back to back.
There should be a few more windows to make the room look brighter.
Due to the fact that most of the guests here were rich and idle ladies, they definitely had to bring maidservants with them when they went out. Therefore, they still needed a resting area in a corner. If they did not want maidservants to serve them during the gathering and tea time, the maidservants could wait here.
The second floor was slightly smaller than the first floor, but it was much quieter and had a wider field of vision. Therefore, there were fewer tables and the distance between the customers was much wider, allowing more space.
Moreover, there were books, chessboards, paintings, and everything on the second floor. They were all things that could temper one’s emotions.
There was also the backyard. There were a few rattan chairs in the courtyard, and some flowers had to be planted.
Most importantly, Gu Yundong meant to flatten all the rooms in the backyard and rebuild them into small private rooms to give people privacy.
The doors of the private rooms could be locked. The private rooms could also be decorated into various types, such as tatami rooms, women’s boudoirs, and solemn studies.
The more Lady Dai and Nie Shuang spoke, the more excited they became. It was as if some wild ideas that they had wanted to achieve in the past but could not, had been implemented in this shop.
Gu Yundong listened and recorded. In the end, after editing and deleting their opinions, she drew three unique designs.
The more Madam Dai and Nie Shuang looked at it, the more satisfied she was. Then, she continued to discuss what to buy in the shop.
Pearl milk tea became the best thing that the two of them recommended. Of course, there were also all kinds of flower tea and fruit tea. There was even fruit wine with a low alcohol content.
The food was pastries and snacks. Gu Yundong provided a few kinds of baked goods, as well as canned fruit shops and other things that she sold in her shop.
If there was anyone who liked salty food, there was also dried rice crust, dried fish, potato chips, nuts, and so on.
After picking and choosing, they left a few items and drafted the menu.
Finally, the most important one was the female employee.
Gu Yundong did not intend to get involved in this aspect. She believed that both Madam Dai and Nie Shuang did not lack manpower. As long as the chef in charge of cooking in the kitchen was reliable, it would be easy to find female workers.
However, Madam Dai and Nie Shuang did not allow it and insisted that Gu Yundong provide a candidate.
Gu Yundong was in a dilemma. She was short of people…
