The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377: Each Employee Has Their Own Agenda

The owner of Tangshi Xuan gathered all the employees of the restaurant.

There were five in the kitchen, and seven more at the front, including the cashier, waitstaff, and cleaners.

A small Chinese restaurant that actually had twelve employees, yet the business had not been good. How could it sustain so many people?

Facing the inquisitive gaze of the cameraman and Little Taotie, the owner sighed: ”You may not know, but initially, the neighboring spaces on both sides were all part of this restaurant. It was due to poor management later on that I had walls built, splitting one restaurant into three separate businesses.”

”But initially, the large space warranted the hiring of twelve employees, and they didn’t do anything wrong. I had no reason to let them go, no reason for layoffs. Plus, the rent from the two adjacent rented-out spaces just covered their wages, so there was no real loss, and that’s how we’ve maintained until now.”

”I see.” The cameraman suddenly understood, feeling that this owner was indeed a person who valued sentiment and loyalty.

The owner explained to his employees that he had signed up to participate in the TV variety show ”Come, Let’s Open a Restaurant,” hoping it would rejuvenate the place.

The employees, grasping the situation, felt honored. After all, they had the opportunity to be on television, but after the joy, a sense of melancholy crept in: if Little Taotie, the young owner, failed, there would be no reason to keep the restaurant going, and it might close down, leaving them all without jobs.

Seeing their unease, the owner explained: ”Actually, counting the days, once the show ends, there will be demolition here, and this restaurant is also within the scope, and will be demolished as well. I’m taking a gamble because if we succeed, I’ll take the Tangshi Xuan brand and you all to open an even bigger Tangshi Xuan in another place. If we fail, I will distribute some of the demolition fees, which will be everyone’s severance pay.”

”This...” The chefs looked at each other.

A chef with some calculations asked quietly: ”Boss, how much will the severance pay be?”

The owner glanced at him, while the chef avoided eye contact, not daring to meet his gaze.

The owner said in a serious tone: ”Calculated by the years worked, for every year in the restaurant, three months’ salary will be given as severance pay, and so on. Two years yields six months’ salary, three years yields nine months’ salary. Got it?”

The inquiring chef nodded repeatedly: ”Got it.”

But in his mind, he was already calculating that after working for 6 years there, he would receive 18 months’ worth of wages as severance pay.

He currently earns five thousand a month and could get ninety thousand!

Ninety thousand is neither too much nor too little; it’s enough for him to open a small storefront.

Chapter 1377 Employees have their own plans, thus he secretly hopes Little Taotie fails, so the restaurant closes early and he can receive his ninety thousand severance pay.

In truth, there are many who share the same thought.

It’s just that adults are skilled at concealing their deeper thoughts, outwardly professing to stand with the restaurant, showing just the right touch of reluctance. Some even encourage Little Taotie, saying they will positively cooperate with all his plans and surely revive the restaurant.

Seeing through the sincerity of some and the pretenses of others, the insightful owner sensed true feelings and false intentions. However, the young Little Taotie did not notice, believing that all twelve employees were sincere, thinking that their loyalty was stirred by the owner’s decision not to lay them off even while using rental income to pay their wages, resulting in the current bold determination to share the fate of the restaurant.

Little Taotie, full of lofty ambitions: ”Don’t worry, everyone, I will definitely increase our performance; I will certainly work hard!”
