Lin Qingyu shook her head, walked over, and pulled Gu Shi to sit down.
"I'm fine. It's just that seeing Juanzi reminds me of what happened that day, so I feel a little upset."
Just as Gu Shi was about to say something, Lin Qingyu suddenly grabbed his arm.
"It's alright, I'm really fine. I'm planning to go to the restaurant tomorrow, and I'll leave it to Jia Hui from now on!"
Gu Shi didn't find it strange or regrettable at all; in fact, he thought the decision was absolutely right.
"You can decide for yourself; I'll support you."
Lin Qingyu nodded. It was time for her to take a proper break and do something else.
The next morning, before the small restaurant even opened for business, a series of exclamations erupted in the backyard.
"What? Sister Qingyu, have you gone mad?"
Zhou Jiahui became agitated and jumped up from her chair.
"Don't get excited! I haven't finished yet!"
Lin Qingyu slowly sipped her tea, as if she had just remarked on how nice the weather was.
Zhou Jiahui was far from calm; her eyes practically popped out of their sockets.
"Sister Qingyu, now that you're saying you're not going to be the boss anymore, how can I stay calm?"
"I only said I wouldn't be the boss's wife anymore, I didn't say I wouldn't run a restaurant anymore!"
After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, Zhou Jiahui calmed down a little and finally sat down.
Zhou Jiahui then cautiously asked, "Sister, what are you planning to do? You can't just abandon this restaurant!"
"I'm planning to make you the manager."
"ah?"
Zhou Jiahui was so startled that she jumped up again, almost knocking over the tea on the table.
Lin Qingyu remained calm: "Anyway, you've been doing all this work while I was away. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Jiahui waved her hand and said, "I'm not tired, Sister Qingyu. It's just that you suddenly stopped doing it?"
Lin Qingyu calmly said, "It's not that I'm not doing it anymore, it's that I'm not taking charge! From now on, you'll manage it, and I'll step down!"
Zhou Jiahui shook her head: "No, how can you do that! There are so many people in the store, you can't..."
"I'll give you a raise!"
"No, that's not allowed either..."
"Trill it!"
"But, but..."
"That's equivalent to four times your previous salary!"
"Yes, boss lady! We firmly support your decision!"
After the conversation ended, Zhou Jiahui suddenly turned into a sycophant, walking behind Lin Qingyu and massaging her shoulders and back.
Lin Qingyu nodded in satisfaction, while Zhou Jiahui was grinning from ear to ear.
A salary of over two hundred yuan was money that Zhou Jiahui could never have imagined!
In the past, her family would only spend this much money in a year, but now they can earn it back in a month.
Zhou Jiahui secretly rejoiced for a long time. Lin Qingyu noticed that the person behind her was shaking, so she simply patted her hand on her shoulder.
"Go ahead and laugh out loud, or you'll hurt yourself holding it in."
"Hehehehe! I'm just so happy! Sister Qingyu, you're such a kind person!"
"Don't be so obviously happy. Have you laughed enough? Once you're done laughing, I'll have them all come in and announce that I won't be coming here often anymore!"
When Lin Qingyu suddenly said this, Zhou Jiahui could no longer laugh. She was silent for a while before speaking.
"I'll go call them; they're probably all at the store by now."
In less than five minutes, all the restaurant's employees had gathered in the small backyard.
"The landlady is here so early today!"
"The landlady must be craving Brother Zhang's cooking again!"
"The boss lady is here so early, she must have something important to do!"
Everyone started talking at once, and each person took a small stool and found a place to sit down.
Lin Qingyu once said that when discussing anything, everyone should sit down and not be reserved.
Lin Qingyu cleared her throat and began to speak.
"Ahem! I just want to say something. The main thing is that I won't be coming here very often in the future!"
"From now on, you should all support each other. If anything happens, just ask Jia Hui, she'll handle it!"
After she finished speaking, a lively discussion broke out around her, and the voices were quite loud, so Lin Qingyu couldn't hear a word she said.
The crowd discussed it enthusiastically, but gradually their voices quieted down.
Several people who usually like to speak up were chosen to represent their respective groups and offer their opinions.
"Sister Qingyu, you're just leaving like this? Are you handing over the restaurant to Jia Hui?"
"That's right! We need to make it clear who we'll be working for from now on!"
Lin Qingyu explained, "I'm still the boss's wife, but I won't be involved in things anymore. Jia Hui will be in charge of managing this place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing discussion broke out in the courtyard again.
Lin Qingyu raised her voice and said, "Everyone, quiet down! Be quiet!"
Everyone's eyes were on her again before Lin Qingyu continued speaking.
"During this period, which can be described as a long time, whenever I wasn't in the store, Jia Hui basically managed it. Everyone should be able to see her abilities, so I don't need to say more!"
Before she could finish speaking, a male waiter asked a question.
"But Jia Hui is getting married soon, so she won't have much time left!"
These words seemed to ignite the emotions of some people in the room; their thoughts, though varied, were all voiced at once.
"Yes, yes! After Jia Hui gets married, she'll definitely have a baby. It's hard to say whether she'll still be able to come here then!"
"What if she can't come and can't continue working? What will we do then?"
Lin Qingyu looked at the group of people who were talking, both men and women, wondering what they were thinking.
But she firmly defended herself, saying, "This restaurant has been open for many years! Everyone knows what kind of people are like."
"I won't say much else. As for the important and minor matters in the restaurant, who among you dares to stand up and say that you understand them better than Jia Hui?"
After these words were spoken, there was no further sound from the surroundings.
Yes, no one usually cares about these trivial matters and takes Zhou Jiahui's efforts for granted.
Now they don't want others to receive benefits. Indeed, the saying "you can't see into someone's heart" applies everywhere.
Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Qingyu continued to state her conditions.
"Since I won't be here anymore, everyone will have to work harder. Each person will get a 25% raise every month, starting next month!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whispering around them disappeared, and everyone became happy.
Ultimately, all those things I said were just about money.
Now that Lin Qingyu has raised everyone's wages and they can make money, who would disagree?
If this happened at any other time, some people might have actually quit, but unfortunately, in the 1980s, even having a stable job was difficult.
Furthermore, given that Lin Qingyu already offers very high salaries, no one would want to quit, and even if Lin Qingyu didn't raise the salary by a single penny, no one would leave.
This matter has finally come to an end, and everyone has returned to their previous harmonious state.
However, Zhou Jiahui's gaze towards these people held something different.
