Chapter 332 Fortunately
Thinking back to the last time he was taken to the county government office, Wu Shiren was furious.
I thought that since I had given Qin Shousheng a lot of money in the past two years, he would definitely speak in his favor.
However, he didn't expect that he would be speechless with just a few words from that damn girl. Not only did she beat up his people, but she also blatantly asked him for another two hundred taels of silver afterwards.
Fortunately, this incident uncovered a termite in the store.
If this had not been discovered, the family fortune would have been stolen by that ungrateful villain sooner or later.
Wu Shiren shook his head in disapproval. "That's a bad idea. Arson is a serious crime, punishable by exile at the very least and hanging at the worst. Don't try this."
Zhao Tian looked indifferent. He had been beaten with twenty boards for no reason last time, and he hated Chen Feng in his heart.
Not only did he bring shame to him, but he also secretly learned his craft.
If Chen Feng were to open Ruyi Tower smoothly, he would lose his job sooner or later.
He straightened his back and acted fearless. "Boss, the county magistrate is a good friend of yours. Even if the truth comes out, he will definitely protect you."
Wu Shiren smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't make trouble. Shen Yuanze and I are just drinking buddies. If we were really that close, would you get beaten up and have to pay for what happened with Chen Feng?
I can see that these officials are too cruel. They don't do anything at the critical moment. When they encounter tough guys, they don't care about anything. But they are good at bullying weak ones. "
Hearing what he said, Zhao Tian frowned even tighter, "Boss, are we just going to watch Ruyi Tower's grand opening?
Don't forget, Chen Feng is really trying to challenge you. If he gets angry, we'll be left with nothing."
"Forget it, let them do what they want. Even though that kid Chen Feng has secretly learned cooking skills, he can't be too busy. A restaurant that big can't run without a few chefs. He can't become a big deal if he works himself to death, so he won't pose a threat to us."
"Shopkeeper, you think the problem is too simple. Wang Guotou has been a chef for so many years and knows quite a few people. It won't be easy to find a few people to help him.
Besides, Liang Caidun and Liu Dashao have been quite dissatisfied with you these days and often complain to us.
They say you are not a human being and treat them as handymen. If they have any second thoughts, it will be very disadvantageous to our restaurant.
I'm not saying anything, but Chen Feng is a very capable guy, and he has a special relationship with those two. You have to be on guard against some things!"
"You mean they're going to quit my job and work for Chen Feng?"
"It is very possible. After all..." Zhao Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Shiren, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Wu Shiren felt a flicker of uneasiness in his heart. Over the years, he had relied on the Qingshui Restaurant to dominate the town. He thought that the chef in the kitchen would not be able to find a stable job if he left.
So he picked out a few honest and easy-to-control people and found many reasons to deduct their wages, including Liu Dashao, Liang Caidun, and Wang Guotou.
He has indeed gone a bit too far these days, not only suppressing Liang Caidun and Liu Dashao in words and deeds,
He even gave the two of them the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the store.
Who asked them to testify for Chen Feng? He just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.
Now, it actually planted the seeds of disaster.
Liu Dashao is the most capable person in the kitchen. If he quits, there will be big trouble.
I secretly regretted being so stingy.
Thinking of this, he frowned unconsciously, "Zhao Tian, hurry up and prepare a table of food and wine. I need to have a good chat with Liu Dashao."
"Boss, you can't keep someone who wants to leave. If you want to completely resolve your worries, you can't let Chen Feng open the restaurant."
Zhao Tian's tone was sour. Like Wang Decai, he had bullied Chen Feng a lot in the past.
I always thought he was just a stinky handyman who would never make it big, and never took him seriously.
But now Chen Feng not only became the shopkeeper himself, but also bought the entire Ruyi Building. He was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
How could a poor boy be richer than him? How could he afford to open a restaurant and become the head manager? He just refused to accept it.
Wu Shiren glared at him angrily, "You think I'm the king of heaven? If I don't let him open a restaurant, he won't open one. If I had that ability, why would I still be a poor shopkeeper in this small Qingshui Town?"
"But....."
"Okay, stop being so stubborn and go prepare the food and wine."
"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Zhao Tian turned around and walked away dejectedly. "You idiot, you will regret it sooner or later." He cursed Wu Shiren in his heart.
******
Liu Dashao was washing piles of dishes in the kitchen, and he felt very depressed.
Which restaurant chef does odd jobs?
Fortunately, his wages will be paid in a few days. Then he can just leave without feeling sorry for Wu Shiren, and he won’t feel guilty either.
Thinking about it, the movement of washing dishes didn't feel so awkward anymore.
Liang Caidun, who was squatting on the side, rubbed the big iron spoon. He felt his arms were extremely sore and couldn't help complaining to Liu Dashao who was washing dishes.
"Lao Liu, when will this end? I don't want to work here for another day."
"Don't worry, brother. Just hold on for a few more days and it will probably be over soon."
"It's only a few days away, but what kind of life is this? I'm a knife sharpener, and he lets me use the big spoon every day. Tell me, is Wu Shiren a bad person?"
"Chen Feng has been working here for over three years, and we've only been here for a few days. Let's get started, or Wu Shiren will start scolding us again if he sees us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shiren came to the kitchen with a smile on his face.
"Hey, my old brother, hurry up, is this what you are supposed to do?"
Wu Shiren didn't mind that Liu Dashao's hands were covered in grease, so he walked up to him, grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
"Boss, don't move. My hands are covered in oil. I won't let your clothes get dirty." Liu Dashao dodged Wu Shiren's hand without leaving a trace.
"Brother, you are too polite. How could I dislike you?" Wu Shiren said, questioning Zhao Tian behind him, "How did you arrange the work? How could you let me wash the dishes?"
Zhao Tian smiled apologetically, "Boss, you don't know, we've been short-staffed these past few days, and a few of us have been spanked, so we can't bend down. So we had no choice but to let Lao Liu and Lao Liang do more work for the time being."
Wu Shiren deliberately frowned, "Lao Liu and Lao Liang are the masters of our shop. How can they do this kind of work? From tomorrow on, let others do it. Every day you take advantage of me not paying attention and try to cheat. If I see Lao Liu doing this kind of work again, I will not let you go."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I'll be more careful next time." Zhao Tian quickly helped Liu Dashao up. "Brother Liu, get up quickly, or the shopkeeper will skin me alive."
