Chapter 16 Taking Over the Restaurant



Hui Fung Restaurant is short of fresh vegetables, but other ingredients are quite stable.

It's a princess's property after all, so we should at least give it some face.

Therefore, even though the competition here is fierce and Hui Fung Restaurant is ordering less and less ingredients, the suppliers have never considered breaking off the cooperation.

However, as soon as they heard that the restaurant had been transferred, some merchants told Manager Zhao that they would no longer continue to cooperate.

Since Manager Zhao wouldn't be working here anymore, there was no need to bother trying to keep him.

Therefore, the last batch of supplies this year will only be available after summer.

It has been less than two months since then.

After Manager Zhao finished speaking, he noticed that she frowned slightly and remained silent.

Thinking that she probably had no experience running a restaurant and was new to the area, she would inevitably encounter various difficulties if she continued to run the business.

Therefore, he still suggested that the restaurant be transferred. If she was willing, he had some connections and would make sure she didn't suffer any losses.

Yun Zhiyi understood that the other party meant well.

However, he still shook his head and politely declined.

"Even if we sell it, the price will definitely be driven down, and the people inside will have nowhere to go. It's better to leave it for now and think of other solutions later. I'm not in a hurry for money right now."

When Manager Zhao heard that she was still thinking about the people in the building, he couldn't help but feel more favorably toward her.

He had been working at this restaurant for several years and had developed a bond with many of the people there.

However, after he leaves the restaurant, he will be transferred elsewhere and will not have the authority to bring a group of people with him.

He would be happy if the new employer could accommodate these people.

"Then let's do it this way. I'll trouble Manager Zhao to ask around for me. Those who want to stay won't be driven away, and those who don't want to stay can settle their money today and each person will receive an extra month's wages as compensation."

She had a good experience at the restaurant these past few days.

Those who remain are probably either relatively stable individuals or people with nowhere else to go.

In order to seize any small hope and make a good impression on the new employer, I maintained a decent work attitude.

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhao's fondness for her grew even stronger.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard her say something else.

"By the way, could you please invite Chef Li over for a chat as well?"

Manager Zhao understood Li Kui's current situation, and the two remained friends.

He wasn't sure how his employer would arrange things for the other party, so he couldn't help but mention it.

"Li Kui is a good person. Although he may be a bit stubborn and old-fashioned at times, he is very serious about his work, and his cooking skills are among the best in Lufeng City."

Yun Zhiyi smiled and said, "I know."

Seeing that she didn't say anything else, Manager Zhao didn't say anything more and could only sigh and leave.

I hope my friend has better luck.

Li Kui is cooking in the kitchen.

After listening to Manager Zhao's words, he paused for only a moment before continuing to stir-fry the vegetables, speaking in a muffled voice.

"There are still guests, I'll go over later."

Seeing his attitude, Manager Zhao was speechless. "How can I keep my employer waiting?"

"If she doesn't want to, she can just fire me."

"You, you really are... sigh!" Manager Zhao was speechless and could only shake his head and leave.

The apprentices and kitchen helpers exchanged glances and couldn't help but offer their advice.

“Master Li, you should hurry up and go. There are only two dishes left anyway, so why don’t you leave them to me?” said a young apprentice.

Li Kui still cooks, his temper as stubborn as a rock.

The group exchanged glances and could only shake their heads helplessly.

The shop assistants were somewhat taken aback when they heard that the new owner had arrived.

How did they come here so quietly? Where did they appear from? I didn't see them at all.

However, the waiter who had previously served Yun Zhiyi suddenly realized what was happening and his expression changed instantly.

It seems he said a lot of things he shouldn't have in front of his new employer.

It’s over!

The waiter's face turned ashen, and he looked miserable.

However, they were quite surprised when the manager told them about the new owner's arrangements for the staff.

Not only can they choose to stay or leave, but those who leave can also receive an extra month's wages?

Is the new owner really that generous?

This instantly won her the favor of many people.

"Manager Zhao, do you think the owner will keep the restaurant open?"

One of the men couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

They clearly didn't know what to choose at the moment.

If they could, they would all want to stay.

Who wouldn't want a stable job that pays them a monthly salary?

What I fear most is instability; I might have to leave again in just a few days.

In that case, I might not even get an extra month's wages.

Manager Zhao thought about Yun Zhiyi's age and her past background.

Although he was born into a wealthy family and has more knowledge than ordinary people, he must have learned about family management and business.

However, she is still quite young, and probably hasn't even turned a few pages of the account book, so it's really hard to say.

Not to mention that the restaurant has lost the princess's backing and is now in a very difficult situation.

Actually, he didn't think it was a good idea either, but he couldn't just say it out loud.

If he really scares everyone away, Yun Zhiyi will be dissatisfied, and if she complains to the princess, he will be in deep trouble.

"How could I know the details of this? Yun Dongjia didn't tell me either. You can decide for yourselves. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

One of the accountants spoke first, "Manager Zhao, I plan to leave."

Everyone turned to look at him, their eyes filled with envy.

Being an accountant is a desirable job, and you won't have to worry about not finding work.

Manager Zhao nodded. "I'll give you half an incense stick's time to consider. If you decide, come here to register and settle your monthly payment."

At this moment, Yun Zhiyi also met Li Kui.

Li Kui was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a somewhat rugged appearance and a bit overweight.

He had a stubble of beard on his chin, which was already a bit gray.
