Manager Wang is capable, but he is arrogant and likes to act superior because of his age. This has become even more pronounced since Yun Xiao took over the restaurant business. He often interferes with Yun Xiao's decisions, which annoys Yun Xiao greatly.
However, since he was an elder of the Yun family, it was not advisable to touch him, so they thought they would take this opportunity to give him a good talking-to.
Actually, there's not much to summarize in the monthly summary. It's just a matter of saying some words of thanks and encouragement to everyone, and the rest is the same as always.
Then, Manager Liu suddenly mentioned that starting this month, the manager's bonus for the restaurant with the highest sales and profits would be increased from one hundred taels to two hundred taels.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Manager Wang, simply because the first place winner was always a restaurant in Kyoto.
Although some people were dissatisfied, feeling that it was because of Kyoto's good location, there was nothing they could do, since the other party was a long-time employee of the owner.
Manager Wang naturally heard what Steward Liu said, and now seeing the envious and jealous looks in everyone's eyes, he smirked smugly.
Then, when he turned to look at Steward Liu, his eyes were filled with provocation. This was because, in his opinion, according to seniority, the person in front of him should never be the head steward, while he himself could only be the manager of a family business in Kyoto.
Fortunately, the treatment was good. Not to mention the monthly salary, the monthly bonus of one hundred taels was equivalent to several months' salary for this person. Now, it has been increased to two hundred taels. Manager Wang couldn't help but smile again.
"The store and manager with the highest sales and profits this month are..."
Before Manager Liu could finish speaking, Manager Wang stood up and said, "Gentlemen, you are too kind..."
No, it should be said that Manager Liu deliberately paused, wanting to see Manager Wang make a fool of himself. Sure enough, before Manager Wang could even utter the word "yield," he heard Manager Liu continue.
"Ranked first is Manager Tong of Ping'an Town Restaurant, ranked second is Manager Wang of Kyoto Restaurant, and ranked third is..."
Just as Steward Liu finished speaking, Yun Xiao, who was standing next to him, spoke up.
"Manager Tong is not here now, so just send someone to Ping'an Town to give you the two hundred taels of reward..." The voice that came out was gentle and warm, making it impossible to tell whether the speaker was sad or happy.
However, when Manager Wang, who was still standing there, heard Yun Xiao's words, it was as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and his face turned pale and then red.
Seeing this, everyone seemed to understand why the young master had come in person today. They all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound until Manager Liu handed the fifty taels of silver that the second place winner had received to Manager Wang.
Manager Wang finally came to his senses, forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and accepted the fifty-tael silver note.
Seeing that Manager Wang's expression was unpleasant, but he still accepted the silver notes, Yun Xiao lowered his eyes, got up and left the council hall.
Throughout the entire meeting, Yun Xiao did not utter a single word, yet he exuded an invisible sense of oppression. When Manager Wang saw his departing figure, he felt a momentary daze, as if he were seeing the old master in his youth. Consequently, he tightened his grip on the silver notes and slowly sat back down in his chair.
However, once Yun Xiao left, everyone swarmed around Steward Liu, bombarding him with questions about whether any new dishes had been discovered in the restaurants of Ping'an Town. They knew that the recipe for the braised pork from last time was brought back from Ping'an Town by the young master...
Faced with everyone's questions, Manager Liu could only shake his head and say he would go and check. There was nothing he could do; he didn't know what kind of food could cause such a surge in sales in Ping'an Town. Therefore, when he saw Yun Xiao preparing to leave for Ping'an Town, he begged to go and take a look with him.
While everyone was speculating about what new food had been discovered in Ping'an Town, Han Yiyi was looking at the chili peppers in her hand, wondering how to sell them to Yunlai Restaurant.
Nangong Yuan's injuries have improved a lot in the past few days; at least the wound has stopped bleeding. Cough, cough, so it's easier for him to go to the toilet now, as Han Yiyi can help him. However, what worries Han Yiyi is this man's brain.
The bump on her head had almost disappeared, but for some reason she still looked dazed and confused, constantly calling out "Mother." However, Han Yiyi had gotten used to being called that and just treated her like another big son.
If Nangong Yuan were to regain his senses and find out that he was always chasing after a woman several years younger than himself, calling her "Mother," he would probably rather have been poisoned to death...
Inside a teahouse in Yuanning Prefecture, two men dressed in black sat by the window, watching the people coming and going on the street. Their eyes were full of weariness. One of them couldn't help but speak.
"You know, we've been searching for so long without any news. Could it be that Master has already...?"
Before the word "army" could be uttered, he was interrupted by a look from the person opposite him. The speaker realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, but his tone was inevitably dejected. After all, they had been searching for their master for a long time, and Nangong Yuan had already been injured when they were forced to separate.
Faced with so many people chasing him, the odds were against him, and with so many days having passed and not a single clue in sight, it was hard not to wonder if he was still alive.
"I want to see him alive or dead. I believe my master will be alright..." Although she said this, she could not hide the worry in her eyes.
These two are Nangong Yuan's shadow guards. Originally, Nangong Yuan had ten shadow guards around him, all of whom had followed him since childhood. However, after this assassination attempt, only Ye Yi and Ye Er remain.
Ye Yi picked up the cup of tea, which had gone cold, and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the worry and bewilderment in Ye Er's eyes, he spoke.
"With Master's skills, he'll be fine. Something must have happened to prevent him from contacting us. Let's keep searching in this direction, and we'll definitely find him..."
Hearing his boss's words, Ye Er felt a little relieved, realizing that his master's skills were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. After eating some dry rations, he left the teahouse and headed towards Ping'an Town.
However, the master that the two men claimed was invincible was now arguing righteously with two three-year-old children over a grilled sausage.
"Mother said you can only eat one, so why are you all holding two...?"
Zicheng looked at the two grilled sausages in his hand, and then at Nangong Yuan, who was now angrily accusing him.
He first took a big bite of the sausage, swallowed it, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Hmph, Mother said you can only eat one, but that's because you're still injured. My sister and I aren't injured, so we can eat more..."
Upon hearing Zicheng's words, Nangong Yuan looked at Han Yiyi with a wronged expression...
