The seven employees recruited from the job market, after a brief training, were already competent to perform Wallace's job.
They were wearing matching uniforms and had very bright smiles on their faces.
Money can make employees smile from the bottom of their hearts.
Just like Pang Donglai in later generations, how could the lower-level employees not be happy with a monthly after-tax salary of more than 9,000 yuan?
The same goes for Wallace employees.
Ninety yuan a month is a considerable sum for these rural young women who haven't even finished junior high or primary school.
After their husbands found out about their income, they became much less demanding at night, fearing that they might overwork themselves and get fired by their boss.
The cashier was Lin Cuilan, the supervisor.
She was educated, went to school, and was very good at math; she could quickly calculate how much money a customer should pay.
With seven employees, plus Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia, a total of nine people were helping out at the small Wallace, making the Wallace store seem a bit crowded.
"We'll open a branch in a week!"
Given the current size of Wallace, five employees per store would be sufficient.
One employee is in charge of cashiering, three employees are in charge of serving food, and one employee is in charge of serving and packing food.
The police's routine check did not disrupt Wallace's business. After teaching Xu Wanxia how to fry French fries at Wallace's shop, Lin Yifeng left Wallace and returned to school.
Currently, Wallace's menu is relatively limited. Lin Yifeng is striving to develop more dishes to increase Wallace's revenue.
For example, French fries, chicken cutlets, chicken drumsticks, etc.
With a more diverse menu, diners have a wider range of choices, which naturally leads to higher profits.
...
At 6:10 p.m., Lin Yifeng drove his diesel tricycle away from the school.
It was still Qingxulou. Lin Yifeng waited in the private room for more than ten minutes before Ye Wuzheng arrived.
"Oh, I'm exhausted."
"I was out all day today, and I've almost covered the entire city of Makino."
Ye Wu had changed back into casual clothes. He was the kind of person who would lose his composure as soon as he got off work. After entering the private room and sitting down, he immediately put his legs up on another chair.
"tired?"
"That must be because you're not feeling well."
"Let me have a cigarette to perk myself up!"
Lin Yifeng tossed over a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and Ye Wuzheng didn't stand on ceremony. He pulled one out, popped it into his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath.
"Phew~~"
As he exhaled the smoke rings, Ye Wuzheng looked quite pleased with himself. Smoking Zhonghua cigarettes was definitely different; they were much better than cigarettes that cost only a few cents a pack.
"Young Master Lin, why aren't you smoking?"
"Hehe, I have a bit of asthma, and smoking makes me have an attack."
Lin Yifeng made up an excuse: he used to smoke and drink heavily when he was working hard in his previous life, but he gradually gained a foothold and started to quit smoking and drinking.
While cigarettes and alcohol are essential for getting things done, Lin Yifeng generally avoids them for personal enjoyment.
"Oh, then maybe you shouldn't smoke."
Ye Wu didn't force him. He leisurely smoked his cigarette until he finished it before saying slowly:
"Young Master Lin, what you're asking for is easy to handle."
"kindness?"
Lin Yifeng awaits further developments.
“I’ve investigated for you. The boy who came to your shop that night to extort protection money is named Feng Shunhu. He’s from Xia Bali Village, Gongcheng.”
Ye Wu stubbed out his cigarette and smiled, "We have a lot of evidence against him. In a couple of days, we can just find some excuse and lead a team to arrest him."
"This Feng Shunhu has an older brother named Zhao Cheng. I don't know if your Wallace store was targeted by Zhao Cheng."
"But since I've decided to take down Feng Shunhu, I might as well take down Zhao Cheng as well."
"Zhao Cheng has caused a lot of harm to the people over the years. Taking him down is like eliminating a scourge for the people."
"oh!"
Upon hearing Ye Wuzheng's words, Lin Yifeng instantly guessed some of the inside story. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice:
"The black gloves, huh? Will taking off these black gloves have a big impact on you?"
kindness?
Lin Yifeng knows these things?
Ye Wuzheng couldn't help but think more highly of Lin Yifeng. Ordinary middle school students wouldn't understand these intricacies, but Lin Yifeng had guessed them instantly, which made Ye Wuzheng's evaluation of Lin Yifeng even higher.
No wonder she's a friend my older sister introduced; no wonder she's the kind of person who can rip off foreigners with trash.
"There might be a little bit, but it's not a big problem."
"Your Wallace is more than enough!"
The Wallace who published the article and the Wallace who didn't are not of the same caliber.
In the 1990s, media resources were extremely scarce. Wallace's ability to appear in newspapers meant that he could expand his influence. A Wallace who was influential and could make money was far more significant than a few thugs.
Hearing Ye Wuzheng's assurance, Lin Yifeng smiled and opened another bottle of Moutai. After pouring Ye Wuzheng a glass of wine, he stopped mentioning Feng Shunhu and instead told Ye Wuzheng about Xu Qingyi.
Today, Xu Qingyi performed extremely poorly in front of Ye Wuzheng. This young man, who brought his younger sister from the three northeastern provinces to the Central Plains Province, is ultimately still a young man.
He dared to stand up to thugs, but panicked when facing the police.
"I could tell that kid was a bit guilty, so I figured he must have done something wrong, but it didn't seem like anything serious."
Ye Wuzheng's opinion of Lin Yifeng rose even higher when he saw Lin Yifeng mention Xu Qingyi.
Lin Yifeng is such a steady person, he doesn't leave a single stain on his record.
Even if someone like Lin Yifeng offends the government, the government can't directly punish him if they want to.
The only way to get rid of Lin Yifeng is by breaking the rules and regulations.
But aren't you officials afraid of losing your positions for violating rules and regulations?
Ye Wu was filled with amazement.
Is Lin Yifeng really just an adult?
When Ye Wuzheng had just come of age, he knew nothing and was scolded by his father every day. After more than two years of scolding, he slowly began to understand some of the inside story.
This is the result of him learning from his father every day.
The matter of Feng Shunhu has been resolved, and Xu Qingyi's actions are no big deal.
After all, it was Feng Shunhu who illegally broke in with a knife first, and Xu Qingyi who resisted afterwards.
After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Yifeng and Ye Wuzheng left Qingxulou. Lin Yifeng gave Ye Wuzheng a case of Moutai and several packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, asking him to take them home for his father to try.
As for red envelopes.
Lin Yifeng didn't give it to him.
...
Ye Wuzheng is very efficient in his work.
Three days after he had dinner with Lin Yifeng, he began to investigate Feng Shunhu and Zhao Cheng.
Five days later, the Muye City Public Security Bureau dispatched more than 20 people under the pretext of cracking down on organized crime, and arrested all 32 members of the criminal gang led by Zhao Cheng and Feng Shunhu.
This move terrified the criminal gangs in Muye City, and many gang leaders inquired about who Zhao Cheng and Feng Shunhu had offended to be arrested in such a short time.
Even the people behind them abandoned them.
This matter was easy to find out, because Ye Wuzheng did not hide anything at all. In his case report, he emphasized Wallace, which was to tell this group of criminal organizations that Wallace was not to be touched.
In just one night, a saying began to circulate in the underworld.
Don't mess with Wallace!
