As for Heshun Wharf, she couldn't make the decision on her own, so she wouldn't mention it for now and wait and see how the other four reacted.
But before Kang Yueran could test the reactions of those four people, those four people came to him first.
Zuo Bai said with a sad face, "Boss Kang, what are you doing? The monthly wages you give to your employees and laborers are already quite high, so why are you giving them gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Mu Lian was about to cry, "Master Kang, do you know that there are more than 1,400 laborers at Heshun Wharf?"

Everyone envied their high monthly wages, so everyone wanted to be the shopkeeper of the colored porcelain shop. If the six shopkeepers didn't want to be replaced, they had to do everything they could to satisfy me.
By the same token, the workers at Heshun Wharf have to work hard if they don't want to be fired. With so many people working so hard, are you still worried about not being able to earn back the extra money you spent?
Meng Dechang asked, "The monthly salary of the shopkeeper of the Colored Porcelain Shop is too high. Aren't you afraid that after working for two years, they will earn enough money to open their own shop?"
