Chapter 387

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The Elderly Know How to Be Considerate As the Spring Festival approached, Lin Chuxia discussed employee benefits and salary increases with Jia Liang.

Their wage standard was based on the standard in Ancheng County, but since they were actually in the city, the wage level should be a bit higher than that of the county.

At this moment, there were no customers in the shop, so the two sat in a corner by the window in the lobby.

Jia Liang had also brought out the accounts for the year for Lin Chuxia to check.

Lin Chuxia would check the Bun Shop’s main account every month, so she had an idea of the numbers.

In these two months, the daily turnover of Qin’s Restaurant was four to five hundred yuan, with a monthly net profit reaching 5,000 yuan, a number that completely exceeded her expectations.

Such income was entirely dependent on Jia Liang’s business management.

But since he had brought it up, she flipped through it again, especially the part about the restaurant on the second floor.

In just two months, the daily turnover of the second floor was in no way inferior to the first floor.

Lin Chuxia glanced over it and then pushed the accounts back, "Let’s do as we just discussed. The people under you are all good, they deserve it.

Also, give yourself a raise—add 30 more."

Jia Liang did not expect Mr. Lin to raise his salary. With an extra 30, his salary would be 110 a month, the same as a grade 8 worker in a factory.

And how many grade 8 workers can there be in a factory? Most are below grade 5.

"Mr. Lin, there’s no need to increase my salary. I’m already very content with what I have," Jia Liang said, unsure of how to handle such a raise.

Lin Chuxia gave him a reassuring look, "You manage the shop well, this wage is just right."

It was already 1987. The country was rapidly developing, the standard of living was continually improving, and people’s wage standard was starting to gradually increase.

She was just taking a step ahead.

Jia Liang was still somewhat at a loss, and Lin Chuxia looked on with interest at a scene in the distance.

Feng Zhong was talking to a young waitress, their coquettish looks making the waitress bow her head in embarrassment.

Seeing that Lin Chuxia remained silent for a long time, Jia Liang followed her gaze and slightly frowned.

Lin Chuxia then spoke, "Is your brother interested in that young waitress?"

Jia Liang’s face darkened a bit, "Don’t worry, Mr. Lin, I’ll remind him later."

Lin Chuxia waved her hand, "The country advocates for freedom of love, I’m not really trying to interfere with their romantic affairs, but still, it’s important to be mindful of the impact."

She stopped there, after all, she was an absentee owner and had no right to meddle in her employees’ private affairs.

But seeing Feng Zhong’s greasy behavior, she felt like the young waitress was a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.

Of course, such matters rely on mutual consent, and no one can say for sure.

It wasn’t just Lin Chuxia who noticed them.

In these past few days, Gao Lele had seen their flirty behaviors not just once. As soon as the manager and Mr. Lin went out and there were fewer people in the shop, she finally found the opportunity to speak up.

"Nana, what’s the deal between you and Brother Feng?"

It wasn’t that Gao Lele was nosy, she just felt Feng Zhong wasn’t a good match for Liu Na.

She had the closest relationship with Liu Na in the shop and truly had her best interests at heart.

Liu Na, still immersed in happiness, unabashedly admitted, "I’m dating Brother Feng."

"Dating? I heard Brother Feng is even older than the manager. Do you know what kind of person he is? Have you figured out his family background?"

There’s always a reason why someone his age isn’t married, right?

It’s not that Gao Lele judged people by their appearance, but she always felt Feng Zhong had a certain slyness to him, not appearing to be a good person.

"Ah, I haven’t been with him for long. It’s not appropriate to inquire about his family matters."

Liu Na’s face turned red as she spoke.

She remembered what Feng Zhong said to her after watching the movie.

Although he didn’t spell it out, she got the hint—he was planning to marry her.

She did want to ask about his family, but before she could say anything, Feng Zhong had kissed her.

She didn’t expect him to be so bold. Just as she began to struggle, he let her go and whispered promises in her ear—no matter his family’s situation, in his heart, his wife would be the most important. Once married, he would do all the work and give her control of the money.

Gao Lele worried for her, "Does your family know? Have your parents met Brother Feng?"

Liu Na stamped her foot, "Oh, don’t ask anymore. Brother Feng said that during the New Year, he will accompany me to meet my parents. Besides, what could my parents possibly have against it? Brother Feng earns 10 yuan more than me, making 50 yuan a month, which is more than what my parents earn. And as for his age, my mother always says older men will be more caring."

And her mother was absolutely right. They had only started dating, and Brother Feng had already promised to give her his future earnings and she wouldn’t need to do any household chores. Isn’t that what caring for someone looks like?

Gao Lele wanted to say more, but Feng Zhong approached with big strides, "What’s the buzz about? Seems lively."

Liu Na’s eyes curled into a smile at the sight of Feng Zhong, "Nothing, just some idle chat with Lele."

"Chatting idly during work hours, be careful or the boss might dock your pay," Feng Zhong joked, "There’s ’Shaolin Temple’ at the movie theater today. Haven’t you wanted to see that film for a while?"

"Sure, let’s go after work," Liu Na agreed happily.

Feng Zhong seized the moment to stealthily pat her backside, "Then you better get to work quick, or the manager might not let you go if you don’t finish your tasks."

Liu Na’s face flushed red, and she scampered off, embarrassed.

Feng Zhong, not quite satisfied, twisted his fingers where he stood, a gesture that Gao Lele, who was right beside them, saw clearly and found utterly revolting.

Chapter 204 Special - Part 2 When Feng Zhong turned around and saw Gao Lele, he smiled nonchalantly, "Little Lele, want to join us tonight? My treat."

Gao Lele’s face turned stern, not sparing him a glance as she fiddled with an abacus, "My mom wants me to come straight home after work and not to spend late nights out with other men."

Feng Zhong left, having had no luck, and chuckled twice, not taking the young girl’s attitude to heart.

After Jia Liang saw Lin Chuxia out, he walked into the shop and immediately saw Feng Zhong circling around Gao Lele, his face darkening as he called him into the office.

Not mincing words, he said, "What’s the matter with you, falling back into old habits? Can’t walk straight when you see a young girl? How many times have I told you, if you want to work in my shop, you need to behave, or don’t blame me for kicking you out."

Feng Zhong laughed along nonchalantly, "Brother Liang, what are you talking about? When have I been unable to walk straight after seeing a young girl? I’m just engaging in normal conversations with them."

"And what’s this with you and Liu Na? Don’t act like I’m blind."

Mentioning Liu Na, Feng Zhong stroked his chin and plopped down on the corner of the office desk.

"So you’re not interested in that girl? Brother Liang, if you’re not interested, it’s time I got a wife, so I took my shot. I also solved a problem for you, saving you the trouble of being stuck between Qin Juan and Liu Na in the future."
