"Yo! What a rare guest. The famously busy Mr Mak actually came to my teahouse for tea, "Bennett said with a smile as he walked out and looked at Meg, who was standing in front of a wooden carving.
Meg turned around, and looked at the balding middle-aged man. He looked exactly the same as the portrait, and smiled as well. "Yes. If not for Boss Bennett, I wouldn't have the time to come and have tea with you."
Bennett's expression froze, and a light flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly recovered, and smilingly said, "In that case, Mr Mak, please come to the VIP room. Let's sit down and have some tea."
"There's no need for that. I suddenly changed my mind. I don't want tea." Meg looked into Bennett's eyes, and took two steps forward. He lowered his voice, and whispered into his ear, "I came here today to tell you something. Don't touch my people. Otherwise, you will lose everything."
Bennett's lips twitched, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. He also lowered his voice, and said, "You are really confident. You don't have the final say in Chaos City. Let's see who she will choose based on our abilities."
"This is not a multiple-choice question at all, because your choice has already been eliminated." Meg smiled, and turned to walk towards the door. When he reached the door, he raised his hand, and smilingly said, "You'd better wipe your butt clean. It will look better when your pants are removed."
"This fellow." Bennett looked at Meg, who disappeared at the door, and clenched his fists with a dark expression.
A tall and thin man appeared beside Bennett, and softly said, "Should we teach him a lesson?"
"Don't touch him first." Bennett shook his head. After some thought, he said, "But Miss Raina is really disappointing. Let's give her a warning tonight."
"Alright." The tall and thin man nodded, and a cruel smile flashed across his face.
"Lose everything?" Bennett chuckled. A chef who made a name for himself by cooking really thought he was standing at the top of Chaos City. He had plenty of ways to make his restaurant close down.
Meg walked out of the teahouse, and turned to look at the shiny golden signboard. He pushed his bicycle away under the shocked gaze of the waiter at the door.
It was a gentleman's etiquette to announce the start of a good show.
He never lied. If he said he was going to make all his businesses close down, he would make sure none of them were left.
He was going to strip him of his clothes, and let everyone see how ugly he was.
…
"Bennett Marquis?" Rolan looked at the brief Burton handed, and thought. and nodded. I also want to see how much filth is hidden under the prosperity of the four big families.
Burton nodded, and left the room. lad..
"Did this couple's temper become better? Moreover, he had learned to seek help from the government to solve problems? This style of doing things is not like Alex at all. Rolan chuckled, and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. "That's good too. During this critical period, we should get rid of the unstable elements in the city first. We can also replenish the city's treasury with more illegal assets."
The Gray Temple's intelligence department quickly got busy. The scouts left the Gray Temple one after another, and went to the designated location to investigate. Most of them were the most experienced and powerful scouts in the Gray Temple.
…
Meg prepared a table full of dishes for lunch.
Meg looked at everyone who was already seated, and said with a smile, "Before lunch today, I would like to announce two things to everyone."
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked at Meg curiously.
"Firstly, due to the restaurant's considerable profits, from today onwards, everyone's basic salary will be increased to 20,000 copper coins a month. Those who are still in the probation period will be promoted to full members immediately, and a 20% increase in salary will be established every year," Meg said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised smile appeared on their faces.
"Wow, our salary has suddenly increased by five times!!!" Mia exclaimed in surprise.
"With 20,000 copper coins, we can buy a lot of beggar's chickens, right?" Gina calculated seriously.
"20,000." Raina's eyes lit up slightly, but it dimmed very quickly. To her, the amount of salary did not have much meaning now.
"20,000 … That's a lot of money." Jane's throat moved. She could not believe that she could get so much salary every month. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Meg and said softly, "Boss, I shouldn't get the same salary as my sisters. I can't do anything well now."
"I also think that the salary now is already a lot. It's many times more than my previous job. I'm just doing a job that anyone can do well. I shouldn't get paid so much." Yabemiya also looked at Meg, and said with a smile, "I like this job, and I like the restaurant."
Without waiting for the others to speak, Meg said seriously, "As you can see, because of all of you, the restaurant can operate stably and efficiently. At the same time, we've earned very good profits. So, this is what you deserve. If you refuse, it will make me look like a capitalist. "
This was actually something that Meg had been considering during this period of time. The efficiency of the restaurant's employees had allowed the restaurant to maintain an efficient operation with limited manpower.
If a restaurant of the same size had to serve such a large number of customers every day, just the labor cost alone would be ten times higher, not to mention the various messy things that would be brought about by the large number of customers.
Meg was indeed very satisfied with this group of ladies. The low salary made him feel a little embarrassed.
Raina's incident was a fuse. An employee with outstanding talent and ability should get a salary that matched her ability and contribution. Otherwise, there would be no talk of happiness. He also did not want to rely on empty promises to prolong his employees' lives.
Although the others did not quite understand what a capitalist meant, they could see Meg's attitude from his serious expression. Although they hesitated, they did not continue to refute.
"As for the second matter." Meg looked at Raina and said with a smile, "I've decided to officially appoint Raina as the manager of the designated hot pot area. She will be fully responsible for all the restaurant's business activities related to hot pot."
"Me?" Raina, who had a lot on her mind, was stunned for a moment. She looked up and met Meg's gentle and trusting gaze. Her gaze was a little hesitant and tangled. If it was before, she would have been very surprised. But now, she did not even know how to protect her mother, nor did she know if she could continue to work in the restaurant. She hesitated and shook her head, "I think my ability is limited. I may not be able to bear such a big responsibility …"
"It doesn't matter what you think. If I think you can do it, then you can. Listen to me." Meg looked into Raina's eyes and said seriously and sincerely, "Please remember your identity. You are a member of Amy's. You will always have a strong restaurant behind you, a restaurant that is stronger than anyone can imagine."
"Come, take a look at our membership list."
Meg took out a small notebook and handed it to Raina. "These are our barber … restaurant's paid members."
