Chapter 592 594. What I Want
After finally persuading his friends to leave, Wang Li came to Tianfu Restaurant alone.
Seeing the familiar furnishings and familiar people, Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wang, you're back from the sea." When the waiter saw him standing at the door, he immediately greeted him warmly. He was considered an old customer.
"I'm back. Give me a bowl of hot mutton noodles first."
"Then let's stick with the old rules, with some braised mutton?"
Wang Li: "Yes, another half pound of Shaodaozi."
The waiter looked at him in surprise. In the past, Brother Wang didn't know how to drink, but this time it was a little different.
Wang Li, "Don't just stand there, go quickly."
The waiter immediately led the person to the table with a smile, "Then please wait a moment, I will go and tell the kitchen."
It was not yet dinner time, and there were not many guests in the hall. Wang Li called the waiter, "Is Shopkeeper Mingnian not here today?"
"Yes, he should be in the back hall right now, but if you want to look for him, I guess he won't have time for the time being."
Wang Li knew that he did not have that much face, so he asked the manager Ming Nian to come out and greet him.
"Please help me bring the noodles up first!" Wang Li felt more at ease when he heard that his old friend was still there.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter was a little confused. Wang Li had so many questions today, but they also had some rules. They would not say anything that should not be disclosed.
After Wang Li had eaten and drunk his fill, he sat for a long time before he finally saw Ming Nian.
Ming Nian was naturally impressed by Wang Li, whom he had recruited personally.
What's more, this kid always likes to come here for a bite to eat when he has nothing to do. Sometimes when we meet, he will say hello and chat for a while.
Today, he nodded to Wang Li as usual, and was about to check to see if the waiter was slacking off, but he saw Wang Li coming up to him.
"I haven't seen the boss for a while, but he looks more and more handsome."
"You're being sweet today. What do you want to know?"
In the past, Wang Li would also ask him some questions, and if he could answer them, he didn't mind doing him a favor.
Besides, this kid has good eyesight and won’t make things difficult for him.
"We are about to change our new owner. I am unsure about this, so I came here to ask."
Ming Nian said, “Then you don’t have to worry, just do things as usual.
Your new boss has some dealings with the master, he is not a demanding master, you just need to do your work with peace of mind. "
Wang Li, "What about Madam Gu? Is she leaving here after changing her business to sea trade?"
Ming Nian looked at him in surprise, "You think more than others.
I won’t hide it from you. My master’s term of office is about to expire. He will go to Beijing to report on his work in the fall, and he won’t stay here for long.”
This was also a disguised way of explaining to him why Haimao had changed hands.
Such a large property, if left here without the owner to keep an eye on it, would definitely pose hidden dangers in the long run. They could understand why the lady made such a decision.
What's more, the brothers who had trained with them before had already changed positions in advance, so it really didn't affect them much.
However, he is currently in charge of the Tianfu Restaurant in Lu City, which is not on the list of people to leave. It is a pity to think about it. He also wants to change the place and the environment.
Wang Li had already known what was going on, but he still felt a little regretful after hearing it. “That’s such a pity. Lord Gu is a good official who has done a lot for our Lucheng, but I didn’t expect him to be transferred so soon.
In the past, there were prefects who were re-elected for several terms, but I didn’t expect that this would not be the case with Master Gu.”
The common people know that good officials have a very important influence on a place.
Lucheng has finally struggled out, is it going to stagnate or retreat?
"There are always separations and reunions in this world. Maybe the next prefect will be better. You can look forward to it." Ming Nian's consolation was not sincere at all. Who could compare to the master?
Wang Li: "...I hope so."
"You also have to work hard, so that in a few years you can buy some good land and live a leisurely and wealthy life." Ming Nian patted his shoulder and was about to go to work. It was almost time for dinner, and then there would be more things to do.
Wang Li finally mustered up the courage to say, "Boss, I wonder if you are short of manpower here. Can I come over here to work?"
"What? Don't you want to sail?" Ming Nian stopped and looked at him. "The wages here are not as good as sailing. Besides, the contract you signed with your wife is different from the one here. I don't think it will work."
Besides, they should all be under the management of Prince Bai now. If this matter had been raised earlier, maybe it might have been possible, but it is simply impossible now.
"I am also unsure, and I have always felt at ease working under Madam Gu. Don't worry, even if the salary is low, I can accept it."
Wang Li has always had a hunch that he can only get good results if he works with Madam Gu.
"This..." Mingnian was in a dilemma. If he had other things to do, he would help him if he could.
But this is a very difficult matter. Madam has already signed the contract with Master Bai, and it would be inappropriate to ask for the person to be released later.
"No matter what the result is, please ask the chief shopkeeper for help."
Ming Nian did not refuse on the spot, "How about this? I can't give you an answer now, so come back in two days.
As for whether it succeeds or not, you can’t blame me.”
Wang Li, "I dare not, I dare not. I will remember your kindness. Please let me know if you need anything in the future. I will do my best as long as I can do it."
"Then I won't greet you now. Come back in two days."
…
Jin Qianqian didn't expect that there would be someone who wanted to give up the high income on the ship.
"I have some impression of this person. What's going on? Is he unhappy on the ship?"
"It shouldn't be that serious," Ming Nian felt a little regretful at this time. Why didn't he ask more clearly at that time.
"I am now considered a small leader on the ship. In just over two years, I have already bought a small courtyard.
I heard him say before that he would use the money he earned to buy some land, but I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind.
I have already told him that if he doesn't work as a boatman, his salary won't be that much higher, and he doesn't seem to have any objections."
Jin Qianqian didn't have time to deal with all this now, so she could only say, "Go tell him that I have transferred all the contracts to Prince Bai.
It’s not a good idea to speak up now. Wait until five years later. If he still hasn’t changed his mind by then, let him go to Tianfu Restaurant and tell him.”
Ming Nian still spoke up to help and said something good, "Actually, I know a little bit about Wang Li.
He is now alone here, and his closest friends are just a few of his former friends.
I thought he made such a decision because he wanted to find a stable backer.
After all, someone like him who has a lot of money and is alone is likely to be targeted by others."
