"Do you know what this means for you?"
"Of course I do!"
Liu Yulong said without hesitation, "This means I get to be the head of the branch company!"
"Then why aren't you seizing this opportunity properly?"
Liu Yuqian glared at Liu Yulong and retorted, "How many people wait their entire lives for something like this!"
"Heh heh..."
Liu Yulong chuckled, "Sister, if you're interested in this position of branch manager, I can help you!"
"Later, I'll have a good talk with Brother Kai Xuan and arrange for you to be the branch manager instead!"
Liu Yuqian said irritably, "Liu Yulong, who do you think you are?"
"Is the position of branch manager something you can arrange with just a few words?"
"Heh heh..."
"I can't arrange it, of course, but if I make a suggestion to the boss, I do have some influence!"
"Go on!"
Liu Yuqian replied dismissively, "Liu Yulong, who do you think you are?"
"You're just a regular worker at the branch company right now. Don't think it's a big deal just because you call Liu Kai Xuan 'Brother'!"
"As an old hand in the workplace, I, your sister, have to give you some friendly advice!"
"Whether you're dealing with people or tasks, you need to know your place!"
"Do your job well, and you'll have a future!"
"Liu Kai Xuan is not as simple as you think!"
Liu Yulong replied with a wry smile, "I can also tell you responsibly!"
"Brother Kai Xuan is actually not as complicated as you think!"
"As long as you are sincere with him, he will definitely not disappoint you!"
"You think Brother Kai Xuan is unfathomable because you haven't been truly open with him!"
"Get out of here!"
Liu Yuqian rolled her eyes at Liu Yulong and said testily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh, heh heh..."
Liu Yulong scratched his scalp and awkwardly replied, "I forgot you're a lady!"
"It's not good for ladies and gentlemen to be too close, haha!"
Liu Yuqian said earnestly, "Xiao Long, I advise you to think carefully!"
"I spent the whole day today doing accounting at the company, and I think this company's profitability is very considerable!"
"If you are the manager here, you will have a good future!"
Liu Yulong nodded and replied, "Alright, sister, I'll consider your suggestion carefully!"
...
Feiyan Restaurant.
As night fell, Sha Zhu happily left work, humming a tune with a large bag in his hand.
However, as soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he was stopped by Zhao Feiyan.
"Sha Zhu, what's in that bag?" Zhao Feiyan asked.
Sha Zhu replied cheerfully, "It's just some leftover scraps from the kitchen. I'm taking them home for the kids to have a treat!"
"Scraps?"
Zhao Feiyan said sternly, "What kind of scraps are they that they can fill five lunchboxes?"
Sha Zhu, sensing something was wrong, quickly put on a thick skin and explained, "Feiyan, you're being too serious. It's no fun!"
"All the ingredients in our kitchen are fresh every day!"
"The excess ingredients left from the day can only be thrown away tomorrow!"
"These are good things, it's a shame to throw them away..."
"Don't tell me that useless stuff!"
Zhao Feiyan said solemnly, "Considering this is your first offense, I'll only give you a symbolic punishment!"
"I won't look at these five lunchboxes. You'll be deducted one yuan per lunchbox from your salary!"
"Are you kidding me?"
Sha Zhu's face changed drastically, "So I worked for nothing all day?"
"Zhao Feiyan, you're being unreasonable!"
Zhao Feiyan said righteously, "Sha Zhu, if you don't want to work here anymore, submit your resignation letter and quit!"
"I didn't bother with you when you were fooling around every day, and now you're pushing your luck, right?"
"From today onwards, no worker at Feiyan Restaurant will get any special treatment!"
"The employee handbook is posted here. If you can't accept it, quit. There's no room for negotiation!"
Sha Zhu, this guy, was known for his love of small gains.
Since he started working at Feiyan Restaurant, he had been taking home bags and bags of food every evening.
Influenced by Sha Zhu, some of the waiters in the restaurant had also learned this trick.
Everyone was thinking about packing food to get a bargain, and the direct consequence was that the restaurant's profit margin was further diluted.
Although the restaurant's revenue was increasing, the net profit had decreased significantly, and the problem of food waste was becoming increasingly serious.
If this continued, the restaurant would likely be eaten dry by these people before long.
This morning before work, Zhao Feiyan held a meeting for all the restaurant workers.
Through the meeting, Zhao Feiyan briefly explained a few rules to everyone.
Employees who pack food need to report it in advance.
The amount of food packed cannot exceed two boxes, and registered food will only be charged at the cost of the ingredients.
Packing lunchboxes without registration is considered a violation.
For the first violation of packing, a fine of one yuan per lunchbox will be imposed.
If there are more than two violations, the employee will be fired!
Today, Zhao Feiyan's treatment of Sha Zhu at one yuan per lunchbox was definitely not a blind action.
Everyone had a copy of the employee handbook, and it had been communicated to everyone.
"This is outrageous!"
Sha Zhu definitely couldn't win against Zhao Feiyan, the boss, so he could only angrily leave after saying a harsh word.
Zhao Feiyan, on the other hand, meticulously recorded the five lunchboxes Sha Zhu had packed in the ledger.
This strict rectification had surprisingly good results.
Other workers who were preparing to pack food rushed to the registration book to sign up.
Some even canceled their plans to pack food.
All the restaurant workers were provided with meals. Most of the packed lunchboxes were for their families.
They originally had the mentality of getting a bargain, but since they couldn't get one now, they gave up.
They wouldn't squander their salaries just to have a treat, would they?
That would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
...
Upon returning home that evening, Sha Zhu informed Qin Jingru of the news.
Qin Jingru was in the middle of happily devouring meat when Sha Zhu told her the truth. Suddenly, the meat in her mouth didn't taste as good.
"This Liu Kai Xuan is going too far!"
Qin Jingru said indignantly, "I told you long ago that this kid is not a good person, and now I've been proven right!"
"He's so stingy about packing a little bit of food!"
"This small restaurant of theirs, it's all your cooking that's keeping it afloat!"
