Old good friends: 52
Tang Ke Xin stood in front of the dark room door, and immediately smelled a strong red wine aroma. Her spirit was shocked, her body's blood seemed to be like encountering memories from past lives, and her face revealed an unexpressed excitement...
Chen Manhong walked into the room with a serious expression and looked at Tang Kexin saying: "Come in!"
Tang Ke Xin held her breath, her hands still clutching the letter, as she stepped into the dimly lit room. Suddenly, small red lights flickered on amidst the wine racks, illuminating the opulent yet somber space of nearly a hundred square meters. Countless European-style wooden shelves were arranged within, each crystal glass placed in various positions - sideways, horizontally, vertically, and even suspended upside down - layer upon layer within the wine cellar...
"There are three thousand crystal glasses in here, and if one is broken, the team leader must sign for it, the minister must sign for it, the deputy manager must sign for it, and the manager must sign for it. Then, with the signed paper, notify the accounting department, and after approval, assign the procurement department to fill the vacancy within three days! Moreover, every month, the procurement department and warehouse will send someone to check our glasses. So don't try any tricks in this process, it's useless! There are multiple surveillance cameras here, monitoring the wine room 24 hours a day, so even if nothing happens, don't slack off, because the audit department can randomly inspect the video tapes of each department at any time!!" Chen Manhong walked to the front of a tulip-shaped crystal glass and turned around to face Tang Kexin.
Tang Ke Xin excitedly looked at the various types of red wine glasses, really many have never been seen or heard before. You know, there are thousands and millions of varieties of red wine, but the utensils and cups for tasting wine are also countless...
Chen Manhong looked at her excited expression and reminded her, "Every cup style here has a label! As long as your colleagues come in and ask you for that type of cup, you have to hand it over to them quickly! And don't forget to wear white gloves, if there's even one fingerprint on the cup, I'll hold you responsible..."
"It is..." Tang Ke Xin still stared at that cup, responding faintly.
Chen Manhong stopped talking and walked over to the wall, pointing at a red button on a nearly two-meter-high machine. "Press this button, and the mechanical door will automatically open. Then you can put the cups that customers have used into it, and the machine will automatically wash them. A colleague will teach you how to do this later. There are almost eight colleagues working here, all of whom have undergone rigorous training before officially starting work. On the left is the cold and hot storage room, where there are cold towels, hot towels, and frozen towels. You should understand that different cups need to be washed at different temperatures when working in a bar."
"It's... " Tang Ke Xin looked at this wine and water space, thinking that she had also worked in a bar before, but only after coming here did she realize that this place was really a place where every detail was meticulously taken care of, not allowing anyone to make any mistakes. She couldn't help but think of her father, and her heart inexplicably felt sour...
"Come with me!" Chen Manhong led Tang Kexin past the tiered shelves of crystal cups, into a dark room, and pressed the switch.
Layer upon layer of rose-colored dim red light, slowly from the outside to the inside, layer by layer, mysteriously and quietly lit up. Countless bottles of red wine, dark red, black and shiny, pink, pale green, transparent, so nobly placed on the oak rack, branch after branch, showing strong vitality.
Tang Ke Xin's eyes lit up, excitedly looking at the various red wines, her ten fingers trembling lightly, like a small dance, happy notes, seeing a good friend.
Chen Manhong said to Tang Kexin, "This is just a first-class wine cellar. Our hotel has twenty-three levels of wine cellars. The higher the level, the more precious the red wine represents! However, no matter what level this wine cellar belongs to, you absolutely must not come in easily! Because only restaurant managers and above-level employees, as well as our most noble sommeliers, have the qualifications to enter here!"
Tang Ke Xin listened and her eyes flashed with a hint of dim light, but she still nodded hastily and said softly: "Yes..."
The door burst open and a Western-style restaurant waiter rushed in, looking at Chen Manhong anxiously and saying: "Manager! The administrative department has just issued a notice that the Premier will be attending the charity performance today and has suddenly decided to attend the dinner party! Due to the presence of many officials, staff from various departments are being dispatched to assist. As a result, we are short-staffed in the wine cellar, and soon the head of the banquet department will come over to borrow some cups!"
"What?" Chen Manhong heard this and immediately turned her face to look at Tang Kexin, saying seriously: "Originally you were supposed to start work three days later, but due to the sudden situation today, let's start work now!"
