"Boss, I want a pay raise."
Murphy had prepared this sentence for a long time.
Today, he finally mustered the courage to say it.
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes at Murphy. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"I … I …"
Murphy was scared of Chen Zhao, very scared.
Moreover, he knew that it wasn't easy to find a job with a salary of $10,000 a month.
An annual salary of $120,000 was a high-paying job anywhere.
"Am I not paying you enough?" Chen Zhao's tone was sinister. "Or did you forget that I went deep into the Crypt Demon Lair to save you?"
Murphy was so scared by Chen Zhao's aura that he was about to cry.
"Boss, I don't want it anymore … I don't dare."
"Tell me," Chen Zhao said. "Why do you suddenly want a pay raise?"
"I have a girlfriend," Murphy said, lowering his head.
Was that a reason? To Chen Zhao, it wasn't a reason at all.
With $10,000 a month, it was enough for him to go out and play every day.
"And then?" Chen Zhao still asked calmly.
"My expenses are a bit high," Murphy said.
Chen Zhao frowned. He'd let Murphy go back then because the kid was too innocent.
He looked like an adult, but because he'd been living in an isolated environment, he didn't have much contact with the outside world.
This also caused him to be a bit unsociable and innocent.
So, Chen Zhao was very curious about what kind of romance Murphy was playing. His $10,000 a month wasn't even enough for a relationship.
"Where do you usually go on dates?"
"Uh … She's a Hollywood star, so we can't expose her … When we're free, we go out to play or book a restaurant so that reporters don't sneak in."
"Oh, you know that I know a famous director," Chen Zhao said. "Tell me her name. Maybe I can introduce her to a role."
"But … she said that I can't reveal her name," Murphy said, troubled.
Chen Zhao took a deep breath. He was 80% sure that he believed his own judgment. The kid had been tricked.
But could he say it directly?
It was said that women in love would become stupid.
In fact, this sentence was also applicable to men.
Especially for an innocent little man like Murphy.
He wouldn't believe his own words.
"I'll consider your request," Chen Zhao said.
"Then do you agree or not?"
"I said I'll consider it. Do you want me to make a decision now? Are you sure you want the answer now? "Chen Zhao's tone turned cold.
Murphy was really scared of Chen Zhao. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Zhao's eyes.
Only then did Chen Zhao return to the mansion, but he didn't plan on sleeping.
Instead, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of Agnes, Murphy's beautiful young mother.
"Hey, I'm Chen Zhao."
"It's you? Why are you calling me at this time? Do you know that for a woman, adequate sleep can maintain long-term youth and beauty? "
"You're a vampire," Chen Zhao said disapprovingly. "You can just find a few people to drink blood from. Also, isn't nighttime your activity time?"
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Agnes said with dissatisfaction.
"Your son just asked me for a raise."
"Oh, I didn't expect him to have such courage."
Even Agnes, as his mother, could not stand Murphy's cowardice. Her tone was quite disdainful.
Agnes did not really care about Murphy's salary.
What she cared about was Murphy's growth.
"But I didn't agree," Chen Zhao said.
"Oh," Agnes said, displeased. "You called me just for this?"
"No," Chen Zhao said. "I suspect that he's been tricked."
Agnes, who'd been nonchalant before, immediately lost her composure.
"What did you say? Who dares to trick the Dracula family? "
"I don't know. I only got some information from Murphy, but it's not confirmed yet."
Rather than being Chen Zhao's employee, Murphy was more like a junior.
Chen Zhao helped Agnes watch over and educate Murphy.
What Chen Zhao cared about was the Dracula family behind Murphy.
Whether it was useful or not, it wasn't a bad thing.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to help me check it out."
"You're not coming? You're his mother. "
"I'm not free …" Agnes said.
After communicating with Agnes, Chen Zhao reluctantly took over this troublesome matter.
Originally, he was too lazy to ask. He just wanted to leave it to Murphy's mother.
In the end, Agnes left it to him again.
…
The next day
"Hello, Mr. Chen, are you free today?" Denver called Chen Zhao.
"What is it?" Chen Zhao asked.
"The brewery is hiring a few managers. If it's convenient, come and interview with us." Denver's attitude was clear, giving Chen Zhao enough respect.
By now, the brewery had pretty much recruited all the regular employees. They were all residents of Mountain Town.
However, the managers couldn't recruit residents of Mountain Town. After all, Chen Zhao had a bit of a relationship with the town government.
If even the managers were residents of Mountain Town, they might be controlled by others if there was a conflict of interest in the future.
So, after discussing with Denver, Chen Zhao decided to expand the recruitment range.
People from Mountain Town could also come for interviews, but only Chen Zhao and Denver could decide if they could become managers.
Unless there were people in Mountain Town that the brewery couldn't live without, Chen Zhao and Denver wouldn't consider residents of Mountain Town.
The only person who could be considered a manager was Bant, the production director.
However, with Chen Zhao and Bant's relationship, Bant would definitely stand on his side if there was a conflict with the town government.
This had nothing to do with benefits. It was purely because of Bant's personality.
The brewery had already started production, but due to the lack of managers, Denver had to do many things himself.
This wouldn't do, so before the beer was officially released, they had to find managers of all levels.
Other than Denver and Chen Zhao, the only interviewee today was Bant.
Denver had published it in the newspaper before, so there were quite a lot of people interviewing.
From product managers to department heads, they had to hire everyone.
More than ten people were interviewed in the morning. Two of them were decided on the spot. The rest had to be considered.
The interviews continued in the afternoon. The first person who came in was a slightly chubby man in his forties.
However, the man didn't look very well dressed. His clothes were a bit old.
Chen Zhao looked at the man. Why did he look so familiar? Where had he seen him before?
When the man saw Chen Zhao, he froze for a moment. Then he lowered his head.
